One Piece: Undying Flame

Portgas D. Ace dies in a war he cannot win and wakes on a pirate ship fifty-two years too early. Saved from black flames that refuse to burn him, he learns the year is Sea Era 1468 and the crew that pulled him from the water calls itself the Black Flame Pirates. Their captain is Black Flame Gray—young, theatrical, and terrifyingly capable. The old press calls him “Sea Emperor” and “Black Sun”; his Logia turns fire the color of ink, lays bridges over water, and obeys will more than physics. Vice-Captain Perry runs the ship with quiet precision: abilities serve jobs, not egos; hospitality first, then questions; applause never. Doctor Colin (Heal-Heal Fruit), cook Andrew (“Food isn’t a weapon”), lookout Abel (Black-Hole Fruit), helmsman Alder (White-Hole Fruit), and Teuton the Fishman gunner round out a twelve-person family where even jokes report for duty. Ace keeps two secrets while he finds his place: the impossible ache in his chest and the future he left behind. A newspaper proves the date; the crew’s ignorance of “Four Emperors” and the “New World” confirms the era; a rumor names Edward Newgate among the rising Rocks Pirates. When Navy warships arrive bearing Garp and Sengoku, Gray strides a narrow bridge of black fire and trades with both at once. On deck, Perry times a Black–White gate: Abel swallows force head-on, Alder releases it under the waterline to tilt a giant. Teuton cuts chain shot out of the air. And when a stray cannonball threatens the grass and the wood, Ace melts it upward—vertical slag, clean and contained. In the calm that follows, Ace accepts Perry’s doctrine: answer the past slowly, burn only where it keeps the ship alive. He logs currents, learns the ship’s slide over weather, and takes the quiet post between galley and hatch as fire-control. Gray keeps saying “for now,” and Ace keeps not saying a name that would change everything. With Rocks rising, the press hungry, and the Navy already watching, Ace must decide what to reveal, when to act, and how to steer a past that is already burning—without setting the future on fire.
