One Piece’s Strongest Ice Dragon

"Hey, I said Loya, why do you think Drake betrayed the Navy?"

Standing beside Loya, Simon, who stayed up all night, was puzzled, and finally asked this question.

Drake's father, Diez Barreiros, was also a former admiral and was deeply admired and trusted by Drake. But many years ago, he defected from the navy and became a pirate.

Then, when Drake was 19 years old, Barreros died in a birdcage farce in Doflamingo, while Drake was protected in the chaos by Lieutenant General Crane rushing all the way, and then became a navy.

It stands to reason that with the negative teaching material of his father there, Drake should be on the same side as the Navy.

But even after rummaging through the family information, Simon couldn't find a reason why Drake would defect from the Navy. Even if he wanted to take revenge on Doflamingo, wouldn't he have a better chance in the Navy?

This answer, we can only wait until they really arrest him in the future, maybe we can know it from Drake's mouth.

"The reason?"

Loya glanced at Simon and said, "To be honest, I don't care about this. Also, I don't think you should care about this either."

"As a soldier, just follow orders."

"Uh, you're right." Simon was choked for a moment, and then smiled relievedly: "There's really nothing to get into."

But, why do I always feel that there is something I didn't expect? Loya.

Looking at Loya's tall and straight back, Simon frowned and thought.

......

Is Loya really ignorant?

The answer is of course no.

At least, he knew something on the surface that explained the reason for Drake's betrayal.

According to the records, a few days ago, the pacifists of Vega Punk made a staged progress, and they could soon be mass-produced and officially put into use.

However, with the continuous improvement of the work, Vega Punk, a scientist who has been leading the world for 500 years, is not satisfied with the existing level of pacifists and wants to further strengthen its power.

But the problem also followed. He even transplanted the power of the Admiral and Qiwuhai on the pacifist. In this sea, who is more powerful than the two?

The head of the four emperors, known as the strongest white beard in the world?

Not to mention that Whitebeard himself is half-dead because of the ability to shake the fruit, Vega Punk is not confident that his pacifist mechanical structure has reached the point where it can be compared with Whitebeard's body.

Of course, if he really thinks so, the bloodline factor of Whitebeard is not so easy to obtain, and most of them will be directly rejected by the Warring States and stillborn.

So (correctly), with this reminder of the idea, Vegapunk noticed the pacifist's most serious weakness right now.

That is the ability to resist!

It is true that the pacifists with special bionic mechanical structures are not weak in fighting ability now, just look at the supernovas in the original book who deal with the hardships.

However, machinery is always machinery, and the more precise the instrument, the more fragile it is. A human body with the same strength is definitely more resistant to beating than a machine.

So, in order to solve this problem, Vega Punk's attention turned to Drake.

As the animal system in the devil fruit, it is still the ancient Tyrannosaurus rex fruit known for its rough skin and thick flesh. Vegapunk didn't want to go to the sea to find a suitable fruit ability again.

Most importantly, Drake is only a major general. In the face of his invitation, the other party has no right to refuse.

At first, Drake thought it was the same as General Kizaru. He had nothing to do with the test, and it was enough to take some blood samples.

However, following the discovery that day, Drake fled the Navy headquarters the next day.

That day happened to be the day when the "tyrant" Xiong, the "tyrant" of Wangxia Qiwuhai, underwent human transformation. According to Vegapunk's explanation, the operation performed at that time happened to mechanize the internal organs of the bear.

Loya didn't understand what black technology was at work here, but he could understand Drake's mood at the time.

To see the dignified Qiwuhai being dissected and then replaced with mechanical parts, this is undoubtedly a very terrifying thing for him, who is also an experimental subject.

If it was replaced by himself, Loya felt that he should also run.

However, he will try first to see if he can kill that lunatic first and benefit the society.

But these are things to come later, and now their main goal is to find Drake first.

......

A month later, the first half of the Great Route.

On the blue sea, six warships cut through the sea and moved forward rapidly.

The blue sky and white clouds and the sea form a corresponding painting, which is very beautiful. A few white seagulls with a little black followed behind the warship, flapping their wings lazily with the help of the air flow brought by the warship, hovering in the air. From time to time, a few crisp tweets seemed to be asking for food from the warship.

However, even Loya, a non-indigenous traveler who lives in the basin area, knows that these beautiful and well-behaved seagulls are actually the ugliest gangsters.

They are now acting like a spoiled brat to you, and in fact, they are always ready to snatch your food. Except for the idiots who have no worries about food and clothing, no one will have a good impression of these little robbers.

Coincidentally, there is not a foolish white sweet on the warship!

So...

"Spider Web Beam!"

With Simon's soft drink, the white and slender special silk threads were fired out layer by layer.

It's really layered up!

Because these threads did not fly out in a straight line, on the contrary, they were launched sideways! Then stretched left and right to a certain length, and then folded back, layer by layer toward the seagulls in the air.

When these silk threads reached the predetermined position, they quickly opened with a bang, and a huge spider web suddenly appeared in the air. When the seagulls had no time to escape, they suddenly tightened and put them all in the big net.

"Loya, do you think fried or braised is better?"

Holding the silk thread extending behind the spider web, Simon shouted loudly at Loya, who was sleeping on Pippi Shrimp's back.

Hearing the question, Loya raised his eyelids, and the invisible magic was agitated, but the very slight voice surpassed the noise of the sea breeze and waves, and clearly fell into Simon's ears.

The voice was speaking.

"Look at our coat of arms and ask me this question again..."

"Uh..." Simon looked up at the open sails on the warship, then lowered his head and said, "I think it's still braised or soup?"

"No, fried."

"receive!"

For the interaction between the two, what else can the ordinary soldiers accompanying them say. Anyway, you are the boss, you just have to be happy.

At this moment, a hurried footstep sounded from far to near, and soon came to Simon's side.

"Report! Second Lieutenant Simon, received news from the headquarters!"

"Headquarters?" Simon blinked, suddenly remembered something, and his face became serious: "Speak!"

"Yes!"

After the messenger saluted, he took out the document and handed it over to Simon, and said at the same time: "The headquarters has confirmed that the target person, Dies Drake, appeared on Drum Island a day ago, and it is only a day's voyage away from us!"

"Drum Island... Either someone is injured, or they need to replenish supplies, and there should be enough time."

Simon looked up at Loya and saw that the other party was nodding at him, so he gave the order.

"The whole army turned and marched towards Drum Island!"

"Yes!"

Lying on the special leather sofa, Loya took out a piece of fruit and threw it into his mouth, chewing and swallowing the core together.

"Drum Island? So I can see the mascot?"

As soon as he thought of that cute thing, Loya cheered up. However, he suddenly frowned and thought: "Wait, if they continue to escape, then don't we have to turn around? Well... I remember, Jones is in this sea, right?"

Saying that, Loya took out the phone bug and dialed it.
