Arceus' Pirate Journey

Chapter 923: The "Fallen" Rear Admiral, the Helpless Jin

X. Drake, gender is male.

The pronunciation of the name is the same as Drake, but they are two completely different people from Drake of Beasts.

He is currently a major general of the Navy Headquarters and one of the special members of the Sword Force. Even when Sengoku contacted him, he used a special code name.

This is the rule of this force. When internal personnel convey confidential information or are dispatched on a mission, they will first use a code to identify themselves. They are similar to the CP agency of the Navy, independent of the World Government, and only serve the Navy.

In the event of intelligence leaks, this unit is the most trustworthy to the Warring States.

Drake's background is extremely dramatic. His father, Dies Barreiros, was also a former navy man, but he chose to defect due to his own reasons. Later, for profit, he wanted to make a deal with the world government with the fruit of the operation.

Due to Corazon's interference, the fruit finally fell into Law's hands, and with Corazon's desperate protection, Law was saved from being discovered by Doflamingo.

Fate intertwined at this moment, and the surviving Drake was taken away by the Warring States and retrained into the navy.

As a young child, Drake looked up to his father, and because of his father's identity, Drake also wanted to become a navy man.

But for some unknown reason, his father defected and became a pirate, and his temperament changed drastically, often inflicting violence on Drake.

After getting a new opportunity, Drake worked hard as a navy officer and successfully became a rear admiral. Because he was valued by Sengoku, he eventually joined the team.

Beasts are still keen on animal abilities, and animals are more likely to be favored by Kaido.

As the user of the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Ancient Species, Allosaurus form, Drake's ability is most suitable for undercover operations.

"Drake, this operation is very special. Except for a few senior officers in the headquarters, even the vice admiral of the headquarters will not know your identity. This is even more true for your subordinates and ordinary naval soldiers. You have to plan a defection by yourself and successfully escape the encirclement."

Acting might go wrong, so Zhan Guo wanted Drake to turn his fake act into reality and actually defect.

"Marshal Zhan Guo, if that's the case..."

"I know. Try to limit casualties and pay attention to your own safety. The lieutenant general chasing you won't know that you are an undercover agent. Then you can only rely on yourself."

Whether it is defection or pursuit, fighting is inevitable. In order to make Drake's "defection" perfect, Zhan Guo is ready to pay a certain price of death.

"Yes, I understand."

After today, the Navy lost a promising Rear Admiral and gained a corrupt Rear Admiral, who was even written about in the newspaper by Morgans. A purge order was also issued within the Navy, making Drake's journey very dangerous.

At the same time, Jin followed the clues and came to the Magnetic Drum Island.

Acting alone made him extremely fast, without relying on ships. Relying on the strong endurance of the Lunarians, he could fly freely in the sky, and even the bad weather in the new world could not restrain him.

The enemy has no way to restrain him. Unless he runs into a strong opponent like Kizaru who can fly, no one can stop him. Flying becomes his unique advantage.

So they quickly arrived at the place where Drake had the accident, but traveling alone also has its disadvantages. Without subordinates, it means that everything has to be done by oneself.

He was hunting down Blackbeard, and if he wanted to find Blackbeard he had to find out about him. But when a six-meter-tall stranger dressed in black and wearing a mask appeared in front of them, most people's instinctive reaction was to run.

Although he is not ugly and is actually quite handsome, his racial identity prevents him from showing his true appearance in public.

Others ignored him and ran away, so he had to chase them in order to get the news. This ended up scaring a lot of people and delaying his journey.

It took a lot of effort to get the news that Blackbeard was heading to the Drum Kingdom.

This is still the result of being restrained. Quinn's title of torturer and pervert is not for nothing. Although he tries his best to find trouble for Drake and seems to be a boss who cares about his subordinates, in fact, only a very few people can get this treatment.

His temper is usually much more violent than Sha Yinna's. If he doesn't restrain himself, the interrogation will turn into torture.

......

Drum Island, a winter island on the Grand Line. As soon as he landed here, he began to look for someone who knew the insider, but before he met anyone, he met a rabbit first.

It was a special kind of rabbit called Labang that lived on Drum Island.

The Drum Kingdom is also home to many unique creatures.

For example, bear hikers who hike like mountaineers usually move on snowy mountains with special mountaineering picks.

Although it is a bear, it is very polite. If pedestrians walk towards it, it will bow to greet them, and people will respond accordingly.

In addition to the polite bears, there are also ferocious rabbits living here, which are the creatures in front of you.

As a ferocious carnivorous rabbit, Labang has the agility of a rabbit and the physique of a bear. They often attack their prey in groups. However, this time they chose the wrong opponent. He knocked down all the rabbits with just a few flaps of his wings. At the same time, he also discovered the villagers hiding in the snow.

Before the villager could react, Jin had already picked him up and asked in a relatively gentle tone:

"The person in charge here... fainted again? The mental quality of these people is getting worse and worse..."

He threw the frightened villagers aside, looked towards the castle in the distance, and flapped his wings to fly upwards.

......

In the castle, Dr. Guleva is discussing the topic of kingdom management with Dalton, the current king of the Drum Kingdom. Strictly speaking, the Drum Kingdom has been destroyed and now it is the territory of the Sakura Kingdom.

After Luffy defeated Wapol, the long-awaited peace came here, and even Doctor 20, who was restricted by Wapol, has regained his freedom.

Before the end, the Sakura Kingdom had been peaceful for a long time.

"who!"

"Relax Dalton, he doesn't look hostile,"

On the sofa in the castle, a woman with long curly hair was holding a bottle of plum wine. She was Dr. Gureva, Chopper's "adoptive mother" and teacher.

Compared to Dalton's nervousness, Dr. Guleva seemed very calm. This woman was said to have lived for 139 years. She could be called a living fossil of Magnetic Drum Island and the person with the most secrets on Magnetic Drum Island.

"Why, young man, what is your purpose in coming here? Do you want my secret to eternal youth?"

"Woman, you are very brave. I am not interested in that kind of thing. It seems that you are the managers here. I just want to know, does anyone know the whereabouts of a pirate who calls himself Blackbeard?

His full name is Marshall D. Teach, and he is a very despicable fellow."

Chapter 924 The Real "Bat King"

“He had arrived in this country some time ago and wanted to find a doctor to treat him, but the doctors at that time were restricted by King Wapol of the Drum Kingdom and were not allowed to treat others at will.

In the end, that guy and his crew destroyed the country, and Wapol was driven away by him. I don’t know what happened after that. That was the only time that group of people showed up.”

The residents of Magnetic Drum Island had no good feelings towards Wapol, nor towards Blackbeard. Faced with endless questions, Dalton gave his answers straightforwardly.

"Where did those guys go?"

"I don't know. That guy may have talked to the doctors. I can ask them for you."

"Okay, I'll wait here."

Then Guleva took Dalton away from the castle temporarily, and Guleva's attitude also made Dalton feel strange.

She was too polite, so polite that it was unlike herself. According to Gulewa's habit, she should not have a good face when facing such an uninvited guest.

"Dalton, you are too young, and as a king, you have to pay more attention to the outside world. That guy is a monster.

The Blackbeard before was able to destroy the Drum Kingdom. If this guy goes crazy, he can also destroy our Sakura Kingdom.

There is no need to offend such a guy for such a trivial matter."

Guleva had much more experience than Dalton, and they had nothing to do with Blackbeard, because it was meaningless to offend a powerful monster with just a few words, especially a monster that could bring disaster to the country.

The doctor on Magnetic Drum Island still provided Jin with some valuable information. After roughly determining the direction in which Blackbeard was heading, Jin once again set out on the road to track down Blackbeard.

......

Near Gaya Island, the style of painting on the Merry becomes more novel.

"Come, follow my movements. One, two, jump!"

On the deck of the Merry, Von Clay was teaching Luffy and others the shemale dance. Behind him were Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper.

However, their movements were not as coordinated as von Clay's. They bumped into each other during the rotation and finally fell on the sleepy Zoro.

"That's enough! Stop making trouble!"

“Hurrah!”

Nami and Heluo held their foreheads helplessly, their movements were surprisingly consistent.

Although Von Clay is a shemale, his character is recognized by Luffy and others. But the problem is that he is not a peaceful person. His joining did not calm the Straw Hat Pirates down, but made this group of people even more abnormal.

A ladyboy, a reindeer, a flower maniac, a directionally challenged person, an idiot. After a closer look, Nami discovered that the most normal-looking thing on the boat was actually a rhinoceros beetle.

Looking at the recording pointer in her hand pointing to the sky, she had to discuss with Heluo what to do next.

Thanks to the two Heracrosses back home, she had no language barriers in communicating with Heracross and could properly plan the next step.

"Sky Island? Are you saying there is really an island in the sky?"

"Hehehe~ [I haven't been there, but my companions have]."

Along the way, Hero often communicated with Heracross, whom he met, and obtained some information.

......

Later on Gaya Island, they met Kulik.

For those who have no flying ability, the only route to safely reach the Sky Island is the Top of the West Sky. However, the entrance of this road is very far away from Gaya Island, so Kulik has never found the way to the Sky Island.

With the information provided by the tavern owner, he firmly believed in the existence of the sky island and insisted on earning a living by salvaging and accumulating commissions.

Whenever he met an adventurous pirate, he would offer to hire him to take him to Sky Island.

But he has never met a pirate who really has the courage to rush to the Sky Island. After all, for ordinary people, the surging ocean current is a dead end, and the probability of successfully reaching the Sky Island is very small.

It was not until Luffy's arrival that he met such a group of warriors.

Sky Island, like before, will charge an entry fee to those entering, and the currency has also been unified into Bailey because of the beasts.

The entry fee of 100,000 Baileys is not high, but Nami is a stingy person. After hearing that she could enter for free, she still chose to save money.

But when they entered the real Sky Island and saw the two flags hanging above the White Sea, their hearts instinctively trembled.

"I say... Doesn't that flag look familiar?"

The Devil's Horned Skull Flag and the Thousand Universe Cross Flag were hung crosswise on the beach of Angel Island. Looking at the familiar pattern, a few drops of sweat dripped from Nami's forehead.

"I suddenly remembered that I have a disease that will kill me if I don't pay. How about Nami... we go back and pay the entry fee?"

"But the person at the immigration office said that you can come in without paying..."

Faced with money, Nami still hesitated in her heart. Looking at her conflicted expression, Usopp's expression became tearful.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

While they were struggling, several arrows were stuck on the deck of the Merry, and in the sky, the fat man flapped his wings and flew over.

Batman, a member of the Beasts Pirates, was the only person left on Sky Island so he naturally rushed over after receiving the news.

In the original timeline, he had his own highlights. After all, he was also a "little genius" who could "suppress the Four Emperors."

Unlike the original timeline, now he is not only able to shine thanks to the animation team. To Luffy, he is the real "Bat King".

"Hahaha, it's been several years, and finally someone has chosen this path. Are you the ones who choose the trial?"

"Trial? What trial?"

"Hmm? Didn't the old lady at the immigration office explain it to you?"

The bat man frowned, but still explained the current rules of Sky Island.

“Ordinary people have to pay to enter the country. If you don’t pay, you have chosen the second path and are participating in our trial.

If you fail the trial, you will have to pay double the entry fee. If you defeat me, you can enter for free and get the chance to join us. Don't you know that?"

"Well, this is actually a misunderstanding..."

"So you're kidding me? According to our rules, cheaters will be sent to mine."

"No! Usopp is my partner, I can't let you send him to mine!"

Blinking his eyes, the Bat Man was a little confused. He didn't know what the boy in a straw hat was talking about. He was clearly calling him a liar, and when did he say the word "liar cloth"?

"Stop talking nonsense! There is no chance to regret in our territory. We have come this far, so get ready to accept the test!"

"So, all I have to do is beat you?"

"Naive newbie, it's not about you beating me, it's about you beating me!"

Chapter 925: Team annihilation.jpg

Looking at the small pirate group in front of him, Batman stretched and didn't take them seriously.

The Beasts mainly recruit their personnel in the New World, and only the pirates who reach the New World can be looked up to by them.
