"Huh!?" As soon as Ian heard Drake's words, he immediately regained his energy.
He asked somewhat: "What you said is true? Did you really stay in the Naval Science Corps, and even reached the rank of major general?"
Ian has seen many navies, from all branches, but only this naval scientific unit, Ian has only seen one Zhan Taowan, although the naval scientific unit is also under the jurisdiction of the Navy headquarters in name, but Ian is He has rarely seen the people of the science team in the naval headquarters. He is very clear that the naval science team is a rather secretive force, and it may even be independent~outside the navy headquarters, and truly control the naval science. The army should belong to the world government, not a subsidiary of the navy.
Ian's understanding of the naval science unit is currently only the pacifist plan. During the New Atwall naval battle, the three pacifists in Ian were all destroyed in the battle. There are only three on the side, but there are eight on the navy side. With the deity of Uncle Xiong, it would be strange if the three pacifists could survive without any damage.
After returning, Varudo has been trying to fix the three pacifists, and until now, they have not been completed yet.
Now that he suddenly heard the term Naval Science Corps from Drake, Ian's interest naturally increased.
"Yes, that's right! I am indeed a major general of the Naval Science Corps!" Drake nodded and confirmed: "Although this major general has no authority, it took me more than ten years of hard work to climb to this place. position."
"Tell me in detail, what's going on here?" Ian was not polite, picked up the wine bottle on the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and then waited for Drake to speak.
Drake pondered for a while, and after organizing his words, he opened his mouth and said: "In fact, the reason why I joined the navy actually originated from my father. My father, Dies Barreiroz, was once a member of the navy. Generals..."
He also sat on the sofa opposite Ian, bent down and put his hands on his knees, with a look of reminiscence, said: "When I was young, I always admired my father. I always felt that he was The idol in my heart, I used to dream of becoming a navy like him when I grew up... But about 14 years ago, everything changed suddenly."
"I still remember that day, when I was the only one at home, my father suddenly stumbled back and ran back. He was supposed to be on duty, but at that time he opened the door of the house in a panic, and he hugged me before he could say anything. Live me, take me away from home!" Drake recalled with a sullen look: "And as soon as he left the Navy headquarters, he took me on a small boat and fled Marlin Vandor directly!"
"I don't know what happened at that time, I only know that my father took me to flee in a panic..." Drake said: "He didn't explain to me at all, he took me away from the Navy headquarters, and became a seafarer at sea ever since. thief."
"He gathered a group of men and led me to live a life of robbery and murder... I hate this kind of life, but what I hate more is his abnormal attitude towards me! Because from that day on, he often drinks heavily , and every time I get drunk, he beats me to vent my anger... "
Ian listened silently and did not speak.
"I don't understand what happened to cause him to become like this. Before that, he was a very gentle person, but since he defected, he seems to be a different person, greedy, rough, It’s no different from a real pirate!” Drake lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said, “At that time, I was already eighteen years old, so I remembered these pictures clearly, and my longing and admiration for him were gradually growing. Turned into disgust, thinking how to escape his control, but he watched me very tightly, so I never had a chance."
"It wasn't until a year later that things turned around!" Drake said: "By chance, when my father and his men were robbing a village, they accidentally found a devil fruit, which was a heart-shaped The devil fruit is very strange, my father didn't know what kind of ability this devil fruit had at the time, and he planned to reward it to his capable subordinates."
"But before he took action, a mysterious figure came to the door!" Drake recalled: "It was a guy wearing a mask. I didn't know who he was at the time, but now I think about it. Get up, that should be someone from C0, they are the only ones who will hide their heads and wear masks... I don’t know how they got the news so quickly. After he found my father, he expressed his willingness to represent the navy and buy this from my father. Devil Fruit."
"Father was very angry at the time, but the people from C0 offered a sky-high price that he couldn't refuse, 5 billion Baileys!" Drake said with a mocking tone: "Father was surprised at the time, I can see that , he hated the deal with the Navy, but the huge amount of money overcame his reason, and he agreed to the deal."
Hearing this, Ian also understood that this fruit is the fruit of the operation, and this is the transaction of the fruit of the operation back then! An intersection in the fates of Drake and Luo...
"Originally, my father planned to get a huge fortune after completing this transaction, but things were beyond his expectations! Before the transaction, someone attacked the resident, and then the Don Quixote Pirates appeared, and my father was attacked by them. Kill them, the devil fruit was also taken away by them!"
Ian shook his head secretly when he heard that, the devil fruit was not snatched by Doflamingo, but was snatched by Rosinandi, and it was eaten by Telaan... Doflamingo is obviously a backer Well.
Drake continued: "Doflamingo's pirate group defeated father's pirate group, burned, killed, and looted on the island, but for some reason, the navy suddenly appeared at this time, maybe it was chasing Lieutenant General Ahe of Doflamingo must have discovered their actions... In short, it was because of the sudden appearance of the navy that I was saved. Doflamingo blocked the entire island with a sharp line, and I happened to be Locked out, escaped death, ran to the sea and asked the navy for help."
It's not that Lieutenant General Ah Crane has been chasing Doflamingo, but that the incident was a trap at all. Taking advantage of Doflamingo's mentality of wanting to snatch the fruit of the operation, the navy planned to ambush and wipe out the Don Quixote pirates... But Ian didn't intend to explain this to Drake either. Luo Xinandi's undercover identity was known only to Luo and Zhan Guo. These were confidential and not known to Ian. Telling them would arouse Drake's doubts.
"The navy took me away from the island at that time, and I was finally able to escape from my father!" Drake said a little lonely: "And the navy didn't know my identity, they thought I was just a survivor in the village on the island, In order not to arouse the suspicion of the navy, I dare not report Barrerus' surname, for fear that they will associate it with my father, so I changed my name, lied that I was called Drake, and successfully joined the navy."
"I heard later that all the people on the island were killed by Doflamingo's people, so no one knew my real identity. I have been staying in the navy under the name Drake. Come down!" Drake said: "In the beginning, I was very happy, and I felt that it was a very lucky thing not only to escape from my father, but also to join the navy of my dreams, but after a long time, the calm After I came down, I gradually became suspicious of my father's defection and becoming a pirate."
"I quietly began to inquire about my father's information secretly. Since my animal-type fruit ability is very rare, it also attracted the attention of high-level officials, which led to my rapid rise in official career. As my status continued to improve, I also Gradually found some clues..." Drake took a deep breath and said, "Then I was surprised to find that my father was in the Naval Science Corps!"
Ian was also a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "So you found a way to join the Naval Science Corps?"
"Yes!" Drake nodded and said, "A lot of father's information has been destroyed, as if he had never existed before, but I still found some clues, so in order to find out why father Because of the reason why I would defect, I tried to find a way to transfer to the Naval Science Corps."
"It just so happens that at that time the Naval Science Corps was also very interested in my ancient fruit-growing ability, so after I was promoted to a major general, they sent a transfer letter, hoping that I could cooperate with them in some research..." Drake With a wry smile, he said: "At that time, I still felt very lucky, and I had a feeling that what I wanted would come true, but now that I think about it, I would rather not have this kind of luck."
"What did you see in the Naval Science Corps?" Ian asked, he understood that Drake might be about to tell a shocking truth... 19
