One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"Instead of increasing the attack range of the flame, it's better to think about how to increase the temperature of the flame. Just like you, even if you attack me, you can't hurt me, because my temperature is much higher than yours."

Gray mercilessly demoted Ace, and finally put his shoulders on Ace's shoulders when he lowered his head in contemplation, and said with a chuckle: "Turn on your strength as soon as possible, the sea is very cruel."

"Captain!" Colin's voice came from outside, "It's lunch time!"

"Oh oh oh, lunch, lunch!" Gray stood up immediately, first ran to eat a few bites of dessert, and then greeted Ace, "Let's go, Ace, let's have lunch!"

"...Okay." Ace was still thinking about Gray's words.

When he was fighting Akainu, the magma completely suppressed his flames, leaving aside the rest, just talking about the devil fruit itself, there is indeed a reason for restraint.

"Don't think so much," Gray said helplessly, "you'll know when we find the island and we've played a game."

Ace nodded, "Yeah."

The two walked into the kitchen, and the tangy aroma rushed to the tip of their noses.

Gray excitedly ran to the table, reaching out to grab a piece of bone-in meat.

As a result, he was hit by the chopsticks on the back of his hand before he even touched it.

Perry frowned at him and warned, "Wash your hands before eating!"

"Cut, old lady." Gray curled his lips, but ran to wash his hands cowardly.

Perry looked at Ace again, the warning in his eyes was self-evident.

Ace nodded obediently, "I'll wash my hands right away!"

It's really a bit like an old lady... Thinking of the complaints in Gray's diary, the corner of Ace's mouth curled into a smile, and his depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.

Gray held up his wet hands, and just as Ace was about to get him a towel, a black flame suddenly ignited in his hands.

Ace was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, Gray, who had dried all the water, raised his hands, ran to the seat with a smile, and started to gobble up with chopsticks.

Others also picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

"Ace, hurry up." Demon urged Ace.

"Okay." The latter replied, and sat down to start eating.

Andrew's cooking skills are very good, and Ace has seen it before.

Gray ate quickly, cleared his own plate, and went around grabbing other people's food.

When there was a lot of noise, there was only a bang, and the kitchen became quiet.

Everyone looked at the place where the voice came from.

Gray still maintained the posture of leaning forward to grab something, and asked softly, "Is this sudden death?"

"No, it can't be food poisoning, right?" Demon looked at his food with a serious expression.

Andrew was furious, "How is it possible! It has nothing to do with food!"

"Oh~ I'm so scared~" Latin leaned against Alder next to him.

Alder opened the distance blankly, almost squeezed together with his younger brother, gritted his teeth and said to his younger brother: "Help me..."

"Bless yourself." Abel also replied softly.

"Have you choked to death?" Teuton was very worried.

"I can't save this." Colin waved his hand. He had already encountered Waterloo on Ace, and he didn't want to do it again.

"Woof!" Tang Tang, the guide dog, barked twice, and walked to Ace's legs to smell his scent.

Tang En bent down to call it back, "Tang Tang, it's poisonous, you can't eat it."

"The cause of death hasn't been determined yet, why is it poisonous?" Gary looked at Tang En helplessly.

Perry had already walked over, reached out and patted Ace on the shoulder, "Hello, boy, Ace?"

He faintly heard snoring.

No way... Perry's eyes twitched, and he grabbed Ace's hair and pulled his face out of the rice. The latter's face was covered with rice grains, his mouth was wide open, and snoring came from his throat.

"What are you doing!" Bud twitched the corners of his mouth, "Are you eating to help you sleep?"

"Just fell asleep." Gray removed the flame in his hand, as if he was going to burn Ace's body, "Hey, the meat is mine!"

He snatched the bone-in meat from Alder's plate, grinning and bit it down, and then his eyes narrowed in happiness: "It's delicious! Other people's food is delicious!"

"Captain! You are too much!" Alder slapped the table angrily and shouted.

"Um...why?" Ace woke up amidst the noise and realized, "Ah, I fell asleep!"

He habitually grabbed the clothes next to him and wiped his face.

It's a pity that Perry is standing next to him at the moment.

The latter frowned and backed away, with a cold tone, "Go and wash your face."

Ace woke up instantly, and nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I see!"

"It's a sense of déjà vu. It's the feeling that the captain saw Perry." Colin complained.

"I'm not that scared." Gray tried to prove it to himself.

As a result, Perry, who was in a bad mood, stared at him, and he immediately shrank his neck, and muttered in a low voice, "Okay, respect every mother."

As a result, of course, Perry beat him up viciously, until Gray, with the big bag on his head, apologized aggrievedly.

"I was wrong, mom... no, Perry."

He is the kind of person who speaks hard and doesn't have a long memory.

After the meal, Gray had returned to his full of energy. He completely forgot how hard Perry had hit him, but excitedly said to Perry, "Perry, let's have a banquet tonight, isn't there a lot of money!"

When they picked up Ace, they were robbing three pirate ships with a lot of oil and water.

Gray has always been a timely hedonist.

I like gorgeous scenery, and regard the momentary pleasure of nothingness after the howling storm as a good thing.

He likes gold and silver treasures, but what he likes is not hoarding treasures, but treasures that are fleeting like fireworks.

In short, it is his preference to spend money as soon as it is available.

Due to the character of the captain, it is impossible for the Black Firework Pirates to expand their scale and recruit troops. Even their thirteen-person ship is often in short supply.

But pirates, that's how it should be.

Perry, who was deeply influenced by the captain, nodded in agreement, but considering the supplies for the voyage later, he told Gray: "Then you go fishing with them in the afternoon, and if you catch enough fish, we will have a banquet."

"Okay!" Gray grabbed the fishing rod and encouraged everyone to go fishing together.

Ace stayed in the kitchen, cleaning up the mess and the dishes with Andrew.

Andrew said with emotion: "If only they could have half of your worries." He decisively forgot Ace's behavior of sleeping halfway through eating.

Ace laughed too, "But you like them that way."

"Ha, yes, sometimes I think sailing would be so boring if they weren't so rambunctious."
