Hearing Ian's questioning, Drake didn't speak out immediately, but pointed to the X-shaped eye patch on his eyes, and then said: "At that time, it should be four years ago, I'm in my mid-twenties, and my face is becoming more and more like my father, I realize this, in order to prevent some people who have met my father from recognizing me, so I put on this blindfold, Cover your face as much as possible."
"No one doubted me, so I finally successfully passed the review and joined the Naval Science Corps. On the second day after receiving the transfer order, a ship came to pick me up and took me to Punk Hazard Island..."
As a result, Ian's eyes widened before he finished speaking, and he stood up abruptly, saying, "Wait a minute! Did you mean Punk Hazard Island!?"
Drake was a little surprised why Ian had such a big reaction, but he nodded and confirmed: "That's right, it's Punk Hazard, what's wrong?"
Ian also found that his reaction was a little too big, but he quickly found an excuse and asked, "I heard that the island was destroyed by a terrible accident, didn't it?"
"When I got there, the accident at Punk Hazard hadn't happened yet!" Drake said: "At that time, Punk Hazard was still the main research base of the Naval Science Corps, because there, I saw Bergaban Dr. K!"
Ian's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly asked: "Vergabank!? That genius scientist? What kind of person is he?"
"Huh?" Derek asked a little strangely, "Why are you so interested in him?"
Ian waved his hand and said: "You may not know that there is also a scientist in my pirate group, and he used to be a colleague of Vegabank, but I only heard him say it, and I have never seen the real Vegabank. So curious."
"So, it's no wonder that you can control the pacifists..." Drake understood, thought for a while, and described: "Dr. A little old, maybe all mental workers are like this, his head is a bit big, and he likes to wear a striped plaid shirt under his research uniform... But in general, I think he is a very gentle person, not like in my impression The kind of mad scientist, but another scientist named M. Caesar Courant in the institute, makes me feel very uncomfortable... "
Ian sighed, damn it, it really is Caesar... At that time, he should still be doing research with Vegabank.
"My job in the Science Corps is to be responsible for the defense!" Drake spread his hands, "This is a job that can move around, so within half a year after joining the Naval Science Corps, I almost figured out how Punk Hazard What are you researching?"
"Is it a pacifist plan?" Ian asked.
"Yes!" Drake nodded and said: "When I joined, Dr. Bergabank's pacifist project had already made substantial progress, but this is not what I want to know. My father was at the The working time of the Naval Science Corps has to be pushed forward for many years, so I began to try my best to find some information about Punk Hazard earlier."
Speaking of this, Drake clenched his fists involuntarily, and said with some anger and some trepidation: "Then, I discovered a very amazing thing. About twenty years ago, Punk Hazard There was also a huge accident!"
"Twenty years ago!?" Ian frowned and asked, "What was the accident?"
"There was an experimental subject who escaped from Punk Hazard, and this experimental subject destroyed most of the research facilities on the island at that time, and also took away some research materials..." Drake said: "At that time, Punk Hazard almost It was destroyed once, and the current facilities are all rebuilt after that accident."
"Experimental body? What kind of experimental body?" Ian suddenly had a premonition.
Drake took a deep look at Ian, and finally said: "It's Kaido! That is, today's Four Emperors, Beast Kaido! He used to be an experimental subject of Punk Hazard!"
Fuck... Fuck! !
Although Ian had already had some premonitions before, when he really heard Drake talk about it, he still couldn't help being surprised.
Dad once said that he always felt that Kaido was not a naturally born human being, so he was dubbed the title of "the strongest creature". Before that, Ian once suspected that Kaido might be like Franky. What about the reinvented person, but now listening to Drake's narration, it doesn't seem to be quite the same.
Because what Drake said was more than 20 years ago. If you calculate it, it was probably before the death of Roger the Pirate King. At that time, the pacifist plan might not have started yet, right
"What's going on?" Ian frowned and asked Drake, "Stop whetting your appetite, let's finish it all at once!"
Drake nodded, and said: "Actually, I don't know much about why Kaido became an experimental subject. I just speculated from the scattered information. It seems that the research on Kaido's experimental subjects was made earlier. It has already started, it was a top-secret research project of the world government at that time, but it seems that the progress of this research has not been smooth until... until Dr. Bergabank's research institute discovered the "blood factor", the world government immediately ordered Let the navy arrest Bergabank, close his research institute, and buy his research team, transfer Dr. Bergabank to Punk Hazard, let him take over the research project... "
Ian suddenly realized, no wonder the World Government and the Navy responded so quickly from Varudo’s original description. You must know that when Bergabank discovered the blood factor, if it weren’t for the Navy and the World Government already had some knowledge about it. Understood, how could you immediately realize the significance of the discovery of Vegabank
In other words, long before Vegabank joined the Naval Science Force, the World Government and the Navy were already researching life forms...
"What exactly are they studying on Kaido?" Ian asked Drake suspiciously.
"I don't know!" Drake shook his head and said, "I just learned that there were a lot of special races concentrated on Punk Hazard Island at that time, and the naval scientific forces seemed to use these races as the basis for experiments... By the way, I remembered that there is a very huge giant among them, just like the little Ozzy you were on the battlefield at that time, it may also be a biological sample, but when I was in Punk Hazard, the giant had already He died, and there are still his bones on Punk Hazard Island, and you may still be able to see them if you go now."
"The same kind of Demon Oz!?" Ian couldn't help but widen his eyes: "In other words, if Kaido is the last experimental subject, then does he really have the blood of the Demon?"
Ian knows that the so-called demons are not actually a race. Oz is actually a member of the giant race, but his body is much larger than other giant races. It's just that he acts evil.
Hearing Ian mention this, Drake suddenly understood, slapped his thigh and said: "That's right! That must be the case, no wonder when I saw Kaido on the live broadcast, I felt that there was something on his head. Where did you see the diagonal? It turned out to be in Punk Hazard! There are similar horns on the huge demon corpse! By the way, I remembered that there are many entrance signs in Punk Hazard’s research base. It’s all a skull pattern with curved horns, it’s really similar to Kaido’s pirate flag pattern... "
It seems correct, Kaido was indeed the subject of the experiment on Punk Hazard Island back then, no wonder the old man with white beard once said that before this, he had never heard of Kaido’s deeds, he is After the death of Roger the Pirate King, he suddenly appeared, and by virtue of his tyrannical strength, he became one of the Four Emperors alongside White Beard and the others.
Damn, I finally figured out the origin of this guy...
Ian rubbed his chin, calculated the time, and said, "That is to say, the unknown research project of the World Government started long before Bergabank became the first scientist of the Navy, and it was only after Bergabank joined After that, it was finally completed?"
"That's true, but something is wrong!" Drake said, "Because the last experiment seems to have failed!"
"Huh!?" Ian frowned, and suddenly remembered the huge light ball of life force that he took out from Kaido's body. He seemed to understand a little bit. If the world government researched Kaido's body, it was the immortal body. , For research on eternal life, then Kaido's lifespan of more than 500 years may really be regarded as a failure!
"Kaido escaped in the end!" Drake said: "No one knows how the accident happened. Although the research base was destroyed by Kaido, Dr. Bergabank was fine. After this accident, he It seems that the world government was persuaded to give up this research and start researching devil fruit and human body transformation... "19
