One Piece: The Eternal Flame

Chapter 53 The Cruel Law

Gregory D. Gray, a man who dominated the New World in just one year.

The evaluation of him in the newspaper has almost one-sided unity.

"World Information" evaluated him as the emperor of the sea, and believed that the strongest pirate in the sea today is the captain of the black firework.

The "World Economic News" commented on Heiyan Gray in this way: that young and ambitious man became independent in the cruel new world in just one year.

In the new world where there are always gangs and gangs, a 13-member pirate group has blazed a new trail. The only thing that is certain is that the sea will be more precarious in the future.

These newspapers have exaggerated Gray's hype and multiplied his danger to the world.

In fact, in the eyes of the Black Firework Pirates, these so-called comments are all funny jokes that can't help but laugh.

No matter how powerful and cruel outsiders make Gray, in their eyes, Gray will always be just Gray.

The sunshine that pierces the dark clouds, the life-saving straw in the mud, and the panacea for the terminally ill, this is the position of Gray in their hearts.

Of course, I have this position in my heart, but I see another scene in my eyes.

If it was a fight, Latin would definitely nod in agreement when he heard Nora say "Grey has a strong momentum".

But now, with a strange expression on his face, he pointed at Gray, and said to Nora in disbelief: "Do you think he is very powerful now?"

Nora looked sideways.

Because he was clearly hated, Gray suffered a lot of grievances. He was lying on the lawn with his legs crossed, rolling around and howling. His IQ should be about the same as that of a three-year-old child.

Cold sweat slid down Nora's forehead, she couldn't bear to look directly away, she was very tangled.

She really felt that Gray was dangerous, but... Seeing Gray like that, she really wanted to deny her thoughts.

"Captain, don't get lost, the island is here~" Abel jumped directly from the observation deck and handed the telescope in his hand to Gray.

The latter lay on the side of the boat and looked at it for a while, feeling a little excited: "It's really nice, it's a big island!"

"And the journey is only half a day, so there is plenty of time," Perry said.

The islands in the new world are divided into several categories, one is sheltered by the world government, the other is occupied by pirates, and the third is neither sheltered nor occupied.

The first and second categories are actually very similar.

The first category is protected by the world government because their country has joined the world government, and civilians need to pay the heavenly gold.

The second category is to accept the asylum of the pirates after flying the black flag, and they will hand over their property accordingly to maintain this mutually beneficial relationship.

Pirates who can become bigger and stronger in the new world are not fools, they know what is their own territory and what is other people's territory.

For other people's territory, they can kill, rob, and do all kinds of bad things, but for the islands in their own territory, they will be more or less merciful for sustainable development.

Paying the heavenly gold or being sheltered by pirates, it is impossible to say which is better. For the common people, no matter which party's asylum it is, at least they can keep them alive.

As for the third type, there are islands that are neither protected by the world government nor occupied by pirates. For example, some non-member countries in the new world have become "illegal islands" between pirates and human traffickers because they cannot pay the "heavenly gold" to the world government.

This is real hell on earth.

When they get close, they can see the pirate flag flying on the island's port-this means that the island is occupied by a certain pirate group.

Such an island means that the pirates can park their ships at the port at will. As long as there is no trouble, it is very welcome to promote the economic development of the island, and if there is trouble, they must accept the anger of the pirate group.

"It's the flag of the Owen Pirates." Perry glanced at the pattern of the black flag, and knew which pirate group this was from the New World.

The Owen Pirates can be regarded as a relatively large-scale and influential pirate group in the New World, so it is normal for the island to be so prosperous and lively.

Latin felt his arm being pulled, looked down, and happened to see Nora's blond hair. Latin couldn't describe the feeling that gold gave him, it was very pure gold with a good luster.

He wanted to ask Nora how she usually took care of her hair, but it was better to talk about this kind of topic when the two of them were together.

Is the kind of girlfriends night talk he was looking forward to coming true?Or sleep with Nora tonight.

"Latin, what disgusting thing are you thinking about?" Alder looked cold.

"I was thinking..." Latin held his cheeks, and was going to continue following Alder's words, but suddenly realized that this seemed not a good thing to say.

His bright face suddenly darkened, and he fought Alder regardless of his image.

Alder was passively defending in a daze, whining and crying that he didn't say anything bad at all.

Gray walked in front, turned back when he heard the movement behind, squinted his eyes and smiled at Nora: "Crybaby, your complexion is not very good, are you sick?"

Nora's bloodless face suddenly turned pale again, her arms folded in front of her chest, and she forced a smile at Gray, "I'm fine, just... just a little scared."

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Latin hugged Nora distressedly. The girl's slender body was trembling slightly. On both sides of the street, many people's eyes were focused on the wings behind her, whispering a few words from time to time.

The people on Sky Island have wings on their backs, and they can be sold at a very good price in Qinghai, and this island, which does not restrict the entry of pirates, obviously has a lot of pirates who use their brains.

But they were just talking and didn't dare to actually do anything.

Just kidding, even if they are greedy for money, they still know they have their destiny, so they can spend their money.

If the pirates in the new world can't recognize the members of the Black Firework Pirates, they will really be laughed out of their teeth.

They're greedy, but not stupid -- fools and fools don't survive in the New World.

"It's so boring, I thought I could play a game." Gray put his hands behind his head and said lazily.

"Who dares to fight you, Captain." Demon smiled and said with disdain: "Only these people, I am enough."

"Hahaha, that's not okay, how can I hurt you~"

"You just want to fight yourself."

"Colin, Dunn, are you going to buy tableware with me?" Andrew looked at Colin.

The latter two nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."

"Andrew, if you take Colin away, who will follow me to buy supplies?" Perry frowned, looking at the other people who were fine, the meaning was self-evident.

"He's going to buy clothes with Nora." Latin put his hands on his hips, "Do you have the heart to let him move things?"

I have the heart, Perry wanted to say that very much, but thinking about how Latin would cry after saying this sentence, he dismissed the idea.

The rest of the people hid behind Gray in unison, looking at the sky and the earth but not at Perry.

Gray smiled confidently: "I'm going to the tavern to drink!"

"Yeah! We're going to the tavern too." Bud and the others nodded wildly in agreement.

"...Okay." Perry sighed, just when everyone thought he would leave alone, he rolled up his sleeves.

"Then choose two lucky ones." He smiled sullenly, grabbed Bud and Alder by the back collars with his left and right hands, and dragged them away regardless of their struggles.

"Captain, help!!" Bud was about to be strangled.

"Perry, you are avenging your own personal revenge. You were jealous when I let you get out of the way on the boat—brother..." Alder watched his brother waved at him indifferently.

"Hahaha, let's go, let's go to the tavern."

"Yeah, escaped a disaster!"

"Go drink~"
