326. And there is a follow-up
Drake wrapped tightly in his thick clothes, hiding his head in his hat, carefully hiding in the snow.
Like an abandoned quail.
In fact, it is not much worse to be abandoned, since Barrelus defected to the navy, his whole person fell into a situation of collapse of faith, and the naval father who he originally admired the most suddenly became a pirate, and fate played a big joke on him.
And the father who changed his identity seemed to be a different person, and he became cold and even a little cold to him.
It was like a son who had worked hard for many years to raise him, and suddenly found that he was not his own, and the change in attitude was so rapid that Drake fell into great confusion and pain.
was already developing later than others, and at this time there was a feeling of stagnation, and he looked like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old child. In this way, he is naturally even less popular with his father.
But Drake only dared to hold his sorrow in his heart, and he had to be well-behaved in front of his father, otherwise he would be beaten and scolded at every turn, Drake was not afraid of pain, but he was afraid of seeing his father's tyrannical appearance, which was a nightmare that he had never dared to think about.
Ever since defecting to the Navy, Drake has been singled out of the operation, not because of Barrerus's kindness, but because Barreirus felt that he would only be holding him back. Moreover, a Drake who has not grown and developed makes Barreirus feel very embarrassed.
Drake is like a fringe person in this pirate group, seemingly with a noble status, but in fact he has no status in the pirates.
This world is very realistic, except for the Tianlong people, if ordinary people are waste, no matter how noble their status is, they will be looked down upon.
Naturally, the deal on the island of Mignon was also excluded by Drake.
When the Devil Fruit was snatched away and the turmoil broke out, no one cared about him, and at that time, whether it was Barreirus or the others, the tense spirit made them completely forget about this person.
Thankfully, this gave Drake a chance to escape.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the crowd, Drake quietly hid, and when these people set up an ambush, Drake fled in the opposite direction.
The wind and snow are a little heavy, the snow on the ground is very thick, and there is a white expanse everywhere, and it is impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south.
Drake didn't care about that, he just ran forward, stumbled, I don't know how many times he fell, got up, and kept going.
The white snow entangled him, dyeing his whole body white, and it became more and more inconspicuous in this vast world.
At one point, Drake fell to the ground again, and at this point, he suddenly felt a feeling in his heart that he could not breathe, as if something was missing.
However, this feeling was only for a moment, and Drake didn't understand what was going on, and he looked in the direction behind him.
It was a patch of white, and the dense snowflakes made his vision become a lake of mold more than ten meters away.
The originally empty town was also left behind by him.
The wind and snow are more urgent.
Drake's somewhat thin figure was in this white terror, like a flat boat in the sea, and it seemed that he would be buried in the next moment.
His feet were completely unconscious, and his body seemed to be cold, and Drake only felt that the whole world was pressing down on him alone, and the feeling of wanting to suffocate made him almost breathless. He didn't know how far he had gone or where he was going, but he instinctively wanted to get out of here, out of this dangerous place.
But for him, the real danger lies not in anything else, but in the world itself.
It's a pity that Drake doesn't understand this, and even if he does, he can't think now, his brain is already the same as this world, only white flowers are left, and his body is still acting instinctively.
Suddenly, he seemed to have auditory hallucinations, and a voice came from a short distance behind him, and he struggled to turn around, but his body seemed to be rusty, not only did he not turn around, but he fell directly into the snow.
Just as his face was about to make contact with the snow, his body suddenly rose into the air, avoiding the fate of being buried by the snow.
In the line of sight, a fox that looked very good-looking, but with two horns and was still clothed, made a crisp voice: "Are you Drake?" β
It was the best sound I'd ever heard, he thought before he lost consciousness.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After a long period of recovery, FrΓ©vans still has some traces that cannot be erased, but the people here are not as desperate as they used to be.
Although it is not yet possible to cure the platinum-lead disease on the body, it is already a great luck to be able to control the disease.
The city, which was already dead, has been revitalized with a little bit of life.
It's all about the navy, or the naval hero to be exact, and many people have offered his portrait as if he were a god.
No one felt wrong, because everyone here knew that if it weren't for that naval hero, they would have been corpses long ago, burned to ashes and buried somewhere.
Alan saved the reputation of the World Government and the Navy.
Ironically, many of the world government officials and the navy who have been evacuated from here think that Alan is meddling. Tens of thousands of lives, in their eyes, are not as important as their own face!
Alan and the others quietly returned to Frevans, as if they had never been out before, and life here seemed to have changed again.
But what has happened cannot be treated as if it never happened.
In the spacious and bright office, a big telephone bug showed the opposite look, and those who were familiar with it knew that it was the Admiral Kong.
Sitting in front of the phone bug, of course, was the fruitful Allen, who held the microphone in one hand and signed his name on the document with the other, and then motioned to Rosinandi on the other side to take the document away.
At this time, an empty voice came from the phone bug: "Alan, do you know what happened on Mignon Island?" β
"Mignon Island? Where is that? Haven't you heard, what, what's going on somewhere? Allen showed three points of surprise, two points of puzzlement, one point of schadenfreude, and four points of nonchalantism.
Especially a series of rhetorical questions, so that the other side of the empty also had to fall silent.
"Not long ago, former Commodore Dies, who defected in the North Sea. Barrelus obtained a Devil Fruit and negotiated with the World Government, which finally decided to buy the Devil Fruit for five billion Baileys. The trading place is on the island of Mignon in the North Sea, which is an island next to Haiyan Island, which is relatively remote and inaccessible. But on the day of the deal, the Navy and CP personnel in charge of the deal, as well as the Dies. Barrerus was killed, and according to the G-5 Fortress Lieutenant General in charge of the matter, it is speculated that a third party intervened in the transaction, not only killing both sides of the transaction, but also taking away the Devil Fruit and the five billion Baileys raised by the World Government. β
"Wow! There is such a thing! There are also people who dare to pull on the heads of the Navy, the CP and the world government...... Ahem, the person who did this is very bold. β
ββ¦β¦β
Are you sure you're not in the yin and yang weirdness?
"This is a matter of the five old stars, and the transaction itself is top secret, and the navy and CP personnel involved in this matter only learned about the information very late, and there is basically no possibility of leaking secrets. So, after the deal failed, they were furious and demanded a thorough investigation into the matter. β
No leaks? What are you kidding, Virgo is an undercover agent of the Don Quixote family in the navy, this person knows, and the Don Quixote family will never know about it, but considering that they are here, they don't dare to act.
But Allen naturally couldn't say this, it was tantamount to telling Sora that he did it.
"Marshal Kong, you know me. I have always been obedient and timid, I have provoked the five old stars very unpleasantly before, and now I only dare to stay in Beihai, and live with trepidation every day, for fear that if I am not careful, my military expenses will be reduced and the soldiers will be driven away. If you want to investigate this matter thoroughly, please arrange for someone else to come, since I am suspected, I must avoid suspicion. β
Looking at Allen, who doesn't get in the oil and salt, there is no way to do it, and this matter itself is very strange. The admiral in charge of the transaction, with superb physical skills, is proficient in two-color domineering, and his strength is not lower than that of the rear admiral of the headquarters, and the person who can kill him silently with just one knife Beihai does not say no, but there are definitely not many.
At first, Sora was suspicious of Alan, but then he felt that it was unlikely to be him, because that Eren might have such and such shortcomings, but he would never stab his companion with a knife.
The colonel of the Navy Headquarters who was killed cleanly with a knife, with Allen's character, would never attack him.
However, thinking that the fruit of the operation can save the country of Frevans, he vaguely felt that this thing should be done by Allen. Otherwise, some can't make sense.
But even if he knew that he did it, everything would be unclear without evidence.
Neither the navy nor the five old stars could do anything to him. Of course, five billion Baileys and the fruit of surgery are very precious, but what about preciousness, if it is the fruit that Allen obtained, then the current fruit must not be intact.
"Since the lieutenant general of the G-5 fortress can't find out the reason, if he is replaced by someone else, it is estimated that the result will be similar. It's just a pity that the naval colonel named Virgo has superb physical skills and is proficient in two-color domineering, and he is never soft on dealing with pirates. The key is still very young, if he doesn't die, he must be a lieutenant general-level combat power, maybe it will be higher. β
"Who did Marshal Air say?"
"Virgo, this young man was outstanding when he was in the new barracks, Zefa had a very good impression of him, he went to the G-5 fortress, or Sengoku personally arranged it, I didn't expect to die here. Why, you've heard the name too? β
"Well, I've heard that name, but what I've heard may not be the same as your version. Marshal Kong also knows that I just played against the Don Quixote family some time ago, and I have achieved some results by luck, but the root cause of these achievements is not me, but ......"
"I know, it's the adopted child of the Warring States, Roxinandi, right? He is Doflamingo's own brother, and he took the initiative to apply to go undercover, this consciousness is very high, and your arrangement is not bad, so the previous results were because of Roxinandi. β
"That's right, thanks to Rosinandi, we were able to grasp the information of the Don Quixote family in such detail, and we achieved quite good results. However, Roxinandi still has a piece of information that has not been reported. β
Control his heart moved: "I guess this information must be very secretive." β
"It's so secretive that even Rosinandi doesn't dare to confirm the authenticity, and the source of the intelligence doesn't allow him to confirm the authenticity. The Don Quixote family uses playing cards as a code name, Doflamingo is the clown 'Joker', and the four highest officials in the family are spades, clubs, diamonds, and hearts. After Rosinandi went undercover for Don Quixote's family, he was the heart of this family, and the heart had a title called Corazon. Rosinandi became known as Corazon after joining the Don Quixote family, and the key point is that he was the second generation of Corazon. β
"There are two generations, there must be one generation."
"This is natural, and this generation has a very high level of secrecy in the Don Quixote family, and it is never allowed to discuss this topic on a daily basis, and everything about this person is the responsibility of Doflamingo himself. And the more coincidental thing is that before Rosinandi joined the Don Quixote family, this Corazon had disappeared out of thin air. This generation of Corazon, his real name is ...... Virgo. β
"Virgo!" Empty everything is understood.
The two sides seem to be talking about something that has nothing to do with this matter, but what they say already speaks for themselves.
It seems that this matter was planned by Alan from beginning to end, and the key point is that he did it not only for the Devil Fruit, but also for this Virgo.
This is a cancer, it is completely conceivable, if such a secret is not discovered, let a young genius like Virgo continue to grow in the navy, this undercover agent from the pirates will definitely become the mainstay of the navy in the future, and the position of a vice admiral should be easy. What makes him shudder even more is that if there is such a pirate undercover in the Navy headquarters, does the Navy still have a secret for Doflamingo?
Compared to this kind of thing, it seems that the trade of Devil Fruits is only a minor problem.
"What do you suggest?" There was silence for a long time before the empty voice came from the phone bug.
"Actually, it's very simple, this transaction was leaked, and a group of guys who were hiding in the shadows learned the news, such as Jerma 66, so they launched a surprise attack during the transaction. And as a pirate, Barreirus sat on the ground and raised the price, and finally wanted to eat black, but he didn't expect the other party to be a hard stubble, even if he ate the fruit of the operation, he was not an opponent, and finally died in the hands of Captain Virgo, but he didn't expect that there was still someone behind him, and he killed Virgo and snatched Bailey. β
"Yes, it's real, it's like it's real." Sora nodded, and suddenly his voice was lowered, "It will take some time, but I have a lot of responsibility for this matter, and I plan to resign from the position of Admiral." β
"Hey, Lord Marshal, don't say it so miserably, you are promoted, not masturbated, this is a great thing. Congratulations to you, Marshal, and congratulations to the Warring States for getting their wish. β
