Hearing Ian's question, Drake didn't say it immediately, but first pointed to the X-shaped blindfold on his eyes, and then spoke: "At that time, it should have been four years ago, I was already twenty-five or sixteen years old, and my face became more and more like my father, I realized this, in order to prevent some people who had seen my father from recognizing me, so I put on this blindfold and tried to cover my face as much as possible." ”

"No one doubted me, so I finally passed the examination without any problems, joined the Naval Science Corps, and the day after receiving the order, a ship came to pick me up and took me to Punk Hasad Island......"

As a result, before he finished speaking, Ian's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up and said, "Wait a minute! You just said, Punk Hasad Island!? ”

Drake was a little curious about how Ian could react so much, but he still nodded and confirmed: "That's right, it's Punk Hazard, what's wrong?" ”

Ian also noticed that his reaction was a little bigger, but he quickly found an excuse and asked, "I heard that the island wasn't destroyed by a terrible accident?" ”

"By the time I got there, the accident of Punk Hazard hadn't happened!" Drake said: "At that time, Punk Hazard was still the main research base of the Naval Science Corps, because there, I saw Dr. Begack!" ”

Ian's pupils shrank, and he quickly asked, "Begagark!?" That genius scientist? What kind of person is he? ”

"Huh?" Drake was a little strange and asked, "Why are you so interested in him?" ”

Ian waved his hand and said, "You may not know, there is also a scientist in my pirate group, and he used to be a colleague of Begagark, but I just heard him say it, and I haven't seen the real Begagark, so I'm curious." ”

"I see, no wonder you can control the pacifists in your hands......" Drake understood, thought for a moment, and described: "Dr. Begabank, forty or fifty years old, but for some reason, he looks a little old, maybe mental workers are like this, his head is a bit big, and he likes to wear a striped plaid shirt under his research coat...... But on the whole, I think he is a very mild man, not like the kind of mad scientist I remember, but another scientist in the institute named M. Caesar Courant, which makes me feel very uncomfortable......"

Ian sighed,, it's Caesar...... At that time, he should have been doing research with Begabank.

"My job in the Science Corps is to be responsible for guarding!" Drake spread his hands, "It's a job that can move around, so in the six months since I joined the Naval Science Corps, I have almost figured out what Punk Hazard is working on." ”

"It's a pacifist project, right?" Ian asked.

"Yes!" Drake nodded: "When I joined, Dr. Begabank's pacifist program had already made substantial progress, but this was not what I wanted to know, my father's time in the Naval Science Corps at that time had to be pushed forward for many years, so I later began to try my best to find some information about Punk Hazard's earlier days." ”

Speaking of this, Drake's fists couldn't help but clench, and he said with some anger and some apprehension: "Then, I discovered a very amazing thing, about twenty years ago, there was a huge accident in Punk Hazard!" ”

"More than twenty years ago!?" Ian frowned and asked, "What was the accident?" ”

"There was a test subject who escaped from Punk Hazard, and this test subject destroyed most of the research facilities on the island at the time, and also took some research materials...... "Punk Hazard was almost destroyed at that time, and the current facilities were rebuilt after that accident." ”

"Subject? What is the subject? Ian suddenly had a vague premonition.

Drake gave Ian a deep look before he finally spoke, "It's Kaido!" That is, today's Four Emperors, Hundred Beasts Kaido! He used to be an experimental subject of Punk Hazard! ”

Crouch...... it!!

Although Ian had already had some premonitions before, he couldn't help but be taken aback when he really heard Drake talk about it.

Daddy once said that he always felt that Kaido was not a naturally born human, so he was named "the strongest creature", and Ian once suspected that Kaido might be a modified person like Frankie, but now listening to Drake's narration, it doesn't seem to be quite like it.

Because what Drake said was more than 20 years ago, if you calculate it, it was probably before One Piece Roger died, at that time, the pacifist plan had not yet started, right?

"What the hell is going on?" Ian frowned and asked Drake, "Don't hang your appetite, let's finish it all at once!" ”

Drake nodded, and said: "Actually, I don't know too much why Kaido became an experimental subject, but I speculated from scattered information, it seems that the research on Kaido's experimental subject started earlier, 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 ...... It wasn't until Dr. Begabank's research institute discovered the "bloodline factor" that the World Government immediately ordered the Navy to arrest Begabank, close his research institute, and bribe his research team to transfer Dr. Begabank to Punk Hazard so that he could take over the research project......"

Ian suddenly realized, no wonder from Valudo's original description, the world government and the navy would react so quickly, you know, at that time, Begabank's discovery of the bloodline factor, if it wasn't for the navy and the world government already had some understanding of this, how could they immediately realize the great significance of Begabak's discovery?

In other words, long before Begabank joined the Naval Science Corps, the world government and the Navy were actually studying living organisms......

"What the hell are they studying on Kaido?" Ian asked Drake suspiciously.

"I don't know!" Drake shook his head and said, "I only roughly learned that there were a lot of special races concentrated on Punk Hazard Island at that time, and it seems that the Naval Science Corps was conducting experiments based on these races at that time...... By the way, I remember, there was a very huge giant in it, just like the little Oz you were on the battlefield at that time, it was probably a biological sample, but when I was in Punk Hazard, that giant died a long time ago, and there are still his bones on Punk Hazard Island, and you can probably still see it if you go now. ”

"The kind of Majin Oz!?" Ian couldn't help but widen his eyes: "In other words, if Kaido is the last test subject, then he really has the blood of a demon in him?" ”

Ian knows that the so-called demons are not actually a race, and Oz is actually a member of the giant clan, but his body is much bigger than other giant clans, and the word demon only describes his evil behavior.

Hearing Ian mention this, Drake suddenly understood, slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! It must be so, no wonder when I first saw Kaido on the live broadcast screen, I thought that the pair of horns on his head had been seen somewhere, it turned out to be in Punk Hazard! That huge demon corpse has similar horns on it! By the way, I remember, there are many entrance signs in the research base of Punk Hazard, all of which are a skeleton pattern with curved corners, which is really similar to Kaido's pirate flag pattern......"

It seems that yes, Kaido is indeed the experimental subject on Punk Hazard Island, no wonder Whitebeard's father once said that before, he had never heard of Kaido's deeds, he appeared suddenly after the death of One Piece Roger, and relied on his strong strength, alongside Whitebeard, and became one of the Four Emperors.

Damn, I've finally figured out where this guy came from......

Ian touched his chin, calculated the time, and said, "In other words, the unknown research project of the world government began long before Begabank became the first scientist of the Navy, and it was only finally completed after Begabank joined?" ”

"That's true, but there's something wrong!" Drake said, "Because in the end this experiment seems to have failed!" ”

"Huh!?" Ian frowned, and suddenly remembered the huge vitality light cluster taken out of Kaido's body, he seemed to understand a little, if the world government studied Kaido in the research of immortality and eternal life, then Kaido's lifespan of more than 500 years, is it really a failure!

"Kaido finally escaped!" "No one knows exactly how the accident happened, and although the research base was destroyed by Kaido, Dr. Begabank was fine, and after the accident, he seems to have persuaded the World Government to abandon the research and instead start working on Devil Fruits and human modifications to ......"10
