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

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

Drake's father, Dees Barrerus, was also a naval admiral and was deeply admired and trusted by Drake. However, many years ago, he defected from the Navy and became a pirate.

Then, when Drake was 19 years old, Barreirus died in Doflamingo's birdcage farce, and Drake became a Navy member after being protected by Vice Admiral Tsuru, who rushed all the way to the chaos.

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

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

The answer to this question can only be found out from Drake's mouth when they actually arrest him in the future.

"Why?"

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

"As a soldier, just obey orders."

"Well, you're right." Simon was choked for a moment, and then smiled with relief: "There is really nothing to delve into." ”

It's just that why do I always feel like there's something I didn't expect? Loya.

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

......

Is Loya really unaware?

The answer, of course, is no.

At the very 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 Vegapunk had made phased progress and would soon be ready for mass production and production.

However, as his work continued to improve, Begapunk, a 500-year-old scientist who was ahead of the world's standards, was not satisfied with the current level of pacifists and wanted to further strengthen its power.

But the problem also arises, he even transplanted the power of the Admiral and the Seven Martial Seas to the Pacifist, who is more powerful than these two on this sea?

The head of the Four Emperors, known as the strongest whitebeard in the world?

Ignoring Whitebeard's own half-dead due to the ability to shock the fruit, Vegapunk was not confident enough that his pacifist mechanics had reached a point comparable to Whitebeard's body.

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

So (unmistakable), after being reminded of this idea, Vegapunk noticed the most serious weakness of the pacifists at the moment.

That's the ability to resist hits!

It is true that the pacifists with special bionic mechanical structures are now not weak in their ability to resist attacks, just look at the supernovas who coped with the hardships in the original books.

However, a machine is always a machine, and the more sophisticated the instrument, the more fragile it is. The human body of the same strength is definitely more resistant to beatings than machinery.

So, in order to solve this problem, Vegapunk's attention shifted to Drake.

As an animal in the Devil Fruit, it is also an ancient Tyrannosaurus rex fruit known for its rough skin and thick flesh. Vegapunk didn't want to go far and went 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 all.

At first, Drake thought that this was the same as the Yellow Ape General, and that it would be okay to cooperate with the test and take some blood samples.

However, with the discovery of that day, Drake escaped from Navy headquarters the next day.

That day happened to be the day when the "tyrant" bear of the Seven Martial Seas under His Majesty underwent human body transformation. According to Vegapunk, the operation that took place at that time happened to be the mechanization of the bear's internal organs.

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

Seeing the dignified Seven Martial Seas being dissected and replaced with mechanical parts was undoubtedly a very terrifying thing for him, who was also an experimental subject.

If it was changed to himself, Luo Ya felt that he should also run.

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

But that's all for later, and now their main goal is to find Drake first.

......

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

On the blue sea, six warships cut through the sea and moved forward at a rapid pace.

The blue sky and white clouds are painted with the sea, which is beautiful. A few white seagulls with a hint of black followed behind the warship, flapping their wings lazily with the help of the air currents brought by the warship, hovering in the air. From time to time, there were a few crisp chirps, as if begging for food from the warship.

However, even Loya, who is not an aboriginal traveler and lives in the basin, knows that these beautiful and well-behaved seagulls are actually the ugliest of bandits.

They're being cute and cute about you right now, and they're actually ready to snatch your food all the time, and no one will have a crush on these little robbers except for the stupid white sweets who don't have to worry about food and clothing.

It just so happened that there was not a single stupid Bai Tian on the warship!

So......

"Cobweb Bundle!"

With Simon's soft shout, the white and slender special silk threads were launched in layers.

It's really layered!

Because these threads do not fly out in a straight line, instead, they are fired horizontally! Then it stretches left and right to a certain length, and then turns back, swooping down on the seagulls in the air layer by layer.

When the silk threads reached their intended position, they quickly opened, and a huge spider web suddenly appeared in the air. When the seagulls didn't have time to dodge, they suddenly tightened up and packed them all in a large net.

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

Holding the silk thread that stretched behind the cobweb, Simon shouted at Loya, who was sleeping on the back of Pippi Shrimp.

Hearing the question, Luo Ya raised his eyelids, and the invisible magic agitated, but the obviously slight sound crossed the noise of the sea breeze and waves, and clearly fell into Simon's ears.

The voice was talking.

"Look at our insignia and come back and ask me that question......"

"Uh......" Simon looked up at the open sails on the warship, then lowered his head and said, "I think it's better to braise or make soup, right?" ”

"No, fried."

"Roger!"

What else can the accompanying ordinary soldiers say about the interaction between the two. Anyway, you're the boss, so it's good for you to be happy.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from far and near, and soon came to Simon's side.

"Report! Second Lieutenant Simon, I got the news from the headquarters! ”

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

"Yes!"

After the herald saluted, he took out the document and handed it to Simon, and at the same time said: "The headquarters has determined, the target person Dees Drake appeared on Magnetic 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 time for it. ”

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

"The whole army turns around and is heading towards Drum Island!"

"Yes!"

Lying on the special leather sofa, Loya took out a fruit and threw it into his mouth, chewing and swallowing it together with the core in a few chews.

"Magnetic Drum Island? So, I can meet the mascot? ”

At the thought of that cute thing, Luo Ya immediately cheered up. However, he suddenly frowned and thought, "Wait, if they continue to escape, then don't we have to turn around too?" Well...... I remember, Jones was in the waters, right? ”

With that, Luo Ya took out the phone bug and dialed it out.
