One Piece: The Eternal Flame

Oden only glanced at it, and then froze on the spot. He knew the rubbings on this piece of paper, and he was forced to learn the reading, writing and meaning of these words by holding his head under the pressure of sukiyaki.

"Have you ever been to the underground of the General's Mansion?" Kozuki Oden was a little surprised, but quickly denied it himself, "No, it means something different."

"What do you mean?" Perry immediately heard something was wrong. He and Colin exchanged glances and asked, "You mean you've seen something exactly like it? A red stone."

"So you know these words?" Colin asked.

"Well, I went to school." Kozuki Oden nodded vigorously, with a strange sense of pride welling up in his heart, he helped, helped these pirates.

Then he is not a dispensable person on board.

"That's not bad, kid!" Alder patted Kozuki Oden's back with a laugh.

"This means..." Kozuki Oden's face blushed from being motivated, and he was about to continue expressing himself immediately.

But before he could speak, he was interrupted by others in a panic.

Alder covered his mouth, and Perry immediately put away the rubbings on the ground.

Oden blinked his eyes in bewilderment, not understanding what happened.

Colin smiled and said, "When the captain is here, you can tell us what it means."

"If the captain knows that we interpreted the main text of the history without waiting for him, he will definitely complain about us..." Alder shook his head violently, "No way!"

"Such an important thing needs to be discussed when everyone is around." Colin patted Mita on the head, "Oden, are you right?"

"Hmm... I understand!" Kozuki Oden nodded vigorously, his eyes lit up, "This is the so-called companion!"

"Hahahaha, yes, this is the companion." Demon laughed.

Blessings are shared, and difficulties are shared.

"Hey everyone, we're back."

"Ha, you guys still know that when you come back, did you encounter any fun things?"

"Hahahaha, there is no fun place in Jiuli."

"Yeah, the boat is about to be repaired."

Five more people walked into the carpenter's yard, and the already relaxed and cheerful atmosphere became even more lively.

No matter who it is, just looking at it will envy the relationship between these people. They chat and laugh with each other, exchanging each other's experiences and anecdotes. No one doesn't like this kind of atmosphere.

"Ace, come and have a look!" Demon walked to something covered with a white cloth, and lifted it with a smile on his face.

The two long and narrow longboats covered inside are exposed to everyone's sight.

One orange, one black, with specially made flame-accelerated thrusters at the back.

"Didn't you say that you often sailed on the sea in the past, and you happened to have extra wood." Demon said with a smile: "You and the captain, each with a boat."

"Uh..." Ace didn't expect that he just shared some interesting things, but it turned out that Demon and the others really remembered them and actually made the boat.

This is the first gift he received after coming to this world, and it is also the gift that makes him feel most integrated into this world and this pirate group.

"Hahaha, you won't cry, will you?"

"Where is the phone bug, take a picture and show it to the captain!"

"It shouldn't be given to the captain, it should be hung in front of Ace's gate and let him see it every day!"

"I didn't cry!" Ace thought about the scene, it was really scary.

He didn't want his ugly photo to be seen by Gray at all, that guy would definitely laugh at him severely, and he didn't want to hang it at the door, that position, but he left it for his future reward order!
Oden looked at the five strangers, ran up without any hesitation, and introduced himself, "This is Kozuki Oden, the new trainee member of the Pirates!"

"Ah?" Ace and the others were taken aback. At first they thought Kozuki Oden was a kid from the carpenter's workshop, but the other party suddenly said this.

Gary glanced at Perry, who nodded, affirming the authenticity of the matter.

Ace leaned over and stared at Kozuki Oden, looking at this child with phoenix eyes and immature face, it was quite unbelievable.

This...is this Kozuki Oden? !The former captain of the second team he had always wanted to meet, the only younger brother Whitebeard recognized, the big man who followed Roger to interpret the historical text and finally reached the island of the end!
Oden was uncomfortable being stared at, but he still tried his best to make his expression mature and stable, and his body straightened, trying to make a good impression on everyone.

"Ace, don't scare him!" Teuton liked children very much.

As a Whale Sharkman, he is quite large, so he is always cute when he sees children, but many children will be scared away by his appearance.

Kozuki Oden was not the kind of child who would be scared, he was just nervous, Teutonic speaking for him made him feel goodwill.

So Mita smiled brightly at Teuton without hesitation, and exclaimed, "Are you human? Why are you like this?"

"Hahaha, I'm a murloc~" Teuton pointed at himself, "The sea is my home field, don't look at them all being so powerful, once they fall into the water, they all rely on me to catch them."

"Why? Don't they all know how to swim?" Oden asked puzzled.

"They are all devil fruit capable users, and they lose their strength when they fall into the sea."

"Then... is there a need for people who can swim?! It would be very dangerous if they all fell into the sea!" Oden was excited, and he patted his chest, "I! I can swim, I can save them with you!"

Based on his experience of falling into the sea many times, he did not feel guilty at all.

"Oh! Oh oh oh!" Teutonic had seen Mita as a child and never thought about what he could do on the boat, but when Mita mentioned it, he suddenly became excited.

yes!With an extra crew member who can swim, wouldn't his workload be reduced a lot! !
"Oden, you must not eat any devil fruits, those are bad fruits!" Teuton hugged Oden excitedly - but he was too big, he said he was hugging, but in fact he was holding Oden in his hands.

After he said this, the others felt as if they had been shot in the knee, what a bad fruit, as if they had eaten something rotten.

etc!The smell of rot...

Devil Fruits do taste like rotten fruit, the bad, oozing, baked poop kind of thing.

"Ugh..." Several people covered their mouths, suddenly recalling the feeling of eating a devil fruit.

Ace stroked his chin, his brain spinning rapidly.

According to the story told by Marco and the others, Kozuki Oden first boarded the old man's boat, and then went to Roger's boat.

So history has changed?
Or did Kozuki Oden actually board the ship, but for some reason, he decided to keep it a secret?
