Chapter 599: A Twist of Fate

"Huh!?" As soon as Ian heard Drake's words, he came to his senses.

He asked, "Are you telling the truth?" Did you really spend time in the Scientific Corps of the Navy, and you got to the rank of rear admiral? ”

Ian has seen a lot of navies, from all branches have seen it, but only this naval science unit, Ian has only seen a war peach pill, although the naval science unit is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Navy Headquarters, but Ian has rarely seen the people of the Science Corps in the Navy Headquarters, he knows very well that this Navy Science Force is a rather hidden force, and it may even be that it is actually independent ~ standing ~ outside the Navy Headquarters, and it should be the world government that really controls the Navy Science Force, not a subordinate agency of the Navy.

Ian's understanding of the Navy's scientific forces, at present, is only the pacifist plan, at the time of the Battle of New Atwall, Ian's three pacifists, were all damaged in the battle, there are only three on his side, but there are eight on the navy side, plus Uncle Xiong's deity, if the three pacifists can still live intact, it would be strange.

Since returning, Valudo has been trying to find a way to repair the three pacifists, and so far, none of them have been completed.

Now that he had suddenly heard the term Naval Science Corps from Drake's mouth, Ian was naturally interested.

"Yes, that's right! I am indeed a rear admiral in the scientific forces of the Navy! Drake nodded and confirmed: "Although this major general has no authority, it also took me more than ten years of hard work to climb to this position." ”

"Tell me more, what the hell is going on?" Ian wasn't polite, picked up the bottle on the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and waited for Drake to speak.

Drake pondered for a while, organized the language for a while, and then spoke: "Actually, the reason why I joined the Navy actually stemmed from my father, my father, Dieses Barreruz, was once a member of the Navy......

He also sat on the sofa opposite Ian, leaned down and put his hands on his knees, with a look of memory, and said: "When I was young, I always admired my father, I always felt that he was my idol in my heart, and I once dreamed that when I grew up, I could become a navy like him...... But about fourteen years ago, everything suddenly changed. ”

"I still remember that day, when I was the only one in the house, my father suddenly stumbled back, he was supposed to be on duty, but at that time he slammed open the door of the house in a panic, and he didn't have time to say anything, so he grabbed me and took me out of the house!" Drake recalled with a gloomy expression: "And as soon as he left the Navy Headquarters, he took me on a small boat and fled directly from Marin Fando!" ”

"I don't know what happened at that time, only that my father ......fled with me in a panic," Drake said, "and he didn't explain it to me at all, and took me away from the Navy Headquarters, and since then I have been a pirate at sea." ”

"He gathered a group of people and took me to live a life of robbery and murder from then on...... I hate this life, but what I hate even more is his perverse attitude towards me! Because from that day on, he was a frequent drunkard, and every time he got drunk, he beat me up......"

Ian listened silently, and didn't speak.

"I don't understand what happened to cause him to be like this, you know, before that, he was a very mild-tempered person, but since he defected, he is like a different person, greedy, rough, no different from a real pirate!" Drake hung his head and gritted his teeth: "At that time, I was already eighteen years old, so I remember these pictures clearly, and my longing and admiration for him gradually turned into disgust, thinking about how to escape from his control, but he guarded me very strictly, so I never had a chance." ”

"It wasn't until a year later that things took a turn for the better!" Drake said: "By chance, when my father and his men were robbing a village, they accidentally found a devil fruit, it was a heart-shaped devil fruit, very strange, my father didn't know what kind of power this devil fruit was at that time, and he planned to reward it to his capable subordinates." ”

"But before he could do anything, a mysterious figure came to the door!" Drake recalled, "It was a guy in a mask, I didn't know who he was at the time, but in retrospect, it was supposed to be CP0's people, and only they would have acted with their heads and tails in masks...... I don't know how they got the news so quickly, but after he found my father, he expressed his willingness to buy this Devil Fruit from my father on behalf of the Navy. ”

"My father was angry at the time, but the people of CP0 offered a sky-high price that he couldn't refuse, five billion Baileys!" Drake said with a mocking tone, "Father was surprised, I could tell that he hated trading with the Navy, but the huge amount of money overcame his sanity, and he agreed to the deal. ”

Hearing this, Ian also understood, this fruit is the fruit of surgery, this is the transaction of the fruit of surgery back then! A fateful intersection between Drake and Rowe......

Originally, my father had planned to make a huge fortune after completing this transaction, but things were unexpected! Before the trade, someone attacked the station, and then the Don Quixote Pirates appeared, killing the father and snatching the Devil Fruit from them! ”

Ian shook his head secretly when he heard this, the devil fruit was not snatched by Doflamingo, but by Roshinandi and eaten by Tranan...... Doflamingo is obviously a backbiter.

Drake continued: "Doflamingo's pirates defeated my father's pirates, burning and looting on the island, but for some reason, the navy suddenly appeared at this time, maybe Vice Admiral Azuru, who had been chasing Doflamingo, discovered their actions...... In short, it was because of the sudden appearance of the navy that I was saved, and Doflamingo blocked the whole island with a sharp line, and I happened to be isolated from the outside, and I escaped by chance, so I ran to the sea and asked the navy for help. ”

It's not that Vice Admiral Atsuru has been chasing Doflamingo, but that incident is a trap at all, and the navy takes advantage of Doflamingo's psychology of wanting to snatch the fruits of the operation, intending to ambush and wipe out the Don Quixote pirates...... However, Ian doesn't plan to explain these to Drake, Roshinandi's undercover identity is only known to Luo and Sengoku, these are confidential, not something that Ian can know, and saying it will cause Drake's doubts.

"The Navy took me off the island, and I was able to escape from my father!" Drake said a little lonely: "And the navy doesn't know my identity, they think I'm just a survivor in the village on the island, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the navy, I don't dare to report Barrerus's surname, for fear that they will think of my father, I changed my name, lied that I was called Drake, and successfully joined the navy." ”

"I later heard that all the people on the island were killed by Doflamingo's people at that time, so no one knew my true identity, so I stayed in the navy under the name Drake!" Drake said: "Originally, I was very happy at the beginning, thinking that it was a lucky thing to not only escape from my father, but also to join the navy of my dreams, but after a long time and calmed down, I gradually became suspicious of my father's defection to become a pirate. ”

"I quietly began to secretly inquire about my father's information, because my animal fruit ability is very rare, so it has also attracted the attention of the high-level, resulting in my career rising relatively quickly, with the continuous improvement of status, I also gradually found some clues......" Drake took a deep breath and said: "Then I was surprised to find that my father was actually in the naval science unit at the beginning!" ”

When Ian heard this, he was also a little surprised, and asked, "So you managed to join the Naval Science Corps?" ”

"Yes!" Drake nodded: "A lot of my father's information has been destroyed, as if there has never been such a person as him, but I still found a clue, so in order to find out why my father defected back then, I tried to transfer to the Naval Science Corps." ”

"It just so happened that at that time, the Naval Science Corps was also very interested in my ability to grow ancient fruits, so after I was just promoted to rear admiral, I sent a letter of transfer, hoping that I could cooperate in the past to do some research......" Drake smiled bitterly and said: "At that time, I still felt quite lucky, and I had a feeling that my wish would come true, but now that I think about it, I would rather not be so lucky." ”

"What exactly do you see in the Naval Science Corps?" Ian asked, knowing that Drake might be about to tell a shocking truth...... 10
