Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 171 Intertwined! (23)

One of the future eleven supernovas, "Red Flag" Drake is indeed a key figure.

His father's name was Dies Barrerus, a former naval officer who later degenerated into a pirate.

More than ten years ago, Diez Barrerus, who obtained the Operation Fruit, accepted a sky-high price from the Navy to sell the Operation Fruit to them. However, the news leaked out, and Corazon and Law planned to snatch the Operation Fruit from Diez Barrerus to treat Law before Doflamingo took it away from him.

Corazon is Doflamingo's younger brother and his only relative after he killed his father. Corazon is also Sengoku's adopted son, a spy who infiltrated the Donquixote family. Law and Drake are both members of the 1520th Supernova in , known as the "Era of Evil", with Luffy. The former even formed an alliance with Luffy, and together they fought from Punk Hazard to Dressrosa and then to Wano Country, aiming directly at the Four Emperors Kaido.

Drake seems insignificant, but he is always there.

Ron believed that this was not a coincidence. According to Oda's style, it was normal for a foreshadowing to be buried for several years.

Especially his betrayal with his father is confusing and full of unknowns.

There are many different opinions about the specific reasons, but it is generally believed that the cruelty of the Celestial Dragons and the inaction of the navy made them see through "justice" and decide to go out to sea as pirates.

Ron knew some of the internal situations of the navy. Most of those "navy scum" and "traitors" began to abandon themselves after they witnessed with their own eyes what the Celestial Dragons and the World Government they had always protected were like in the Sabaody Archipelago.

If this is true, it would explain why both the father and son of the Dies family rebelled.

However, this is just speculation. In the original book, there is a safety gap between Drake being rescued by the crane and becoming the eleventh supernova, and Ron is not sure what happened. At present, there may be a chance to explore one or two of them.

Especially with the causal connection entangled with Drake, Ron felt that there might be unexpected gains.

"What does Zephyr-sensei mean? What did the Marshal say?"

"The teacher asked us to take him back. The marshal ordered the G10 branch to attack and intercept him with all their strength. We can't let him escape back to the North Sea. The main force is on the way. If we delay him for a day, we can catch up."

Donte answered quickly, then tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.

"When will the troops be called in?"

"immediately!"

Ron answered, and the next second he disappeared from the room.

Looking at the empty office, Dongte's expression gradually became heavy.

After a moment, he slammed the table and growled with fangs.

"Give me the order right now!!"

"G10 branch is not listening to me again!!"

……

On the fourth route, an ordinary merchant ship was sailing towards the island of Gaya. This was a real merchant ship, a caravan belonging to a member country of the World Government.

The criminals that the navy is chasing and searching for are just a trick used by Drake's loyal confidants to divert attention!
Although Ron had forgotten Drake's existence during his time in the Navy, Drake dared not ignore him. As a veteran major general of the Navy Headquarters, Drake deeply understood Ron's strength. If he stayed in the G10 branch, there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents. So he deliberately split into two, with the rest of the group driving the warship to attract attention, while he boarded the merchant ship and took the opportunity to leave.

"I hope everyone is safe..."

On one side of the merchant ship, Drake was lying on the railing with a solemn expression. The "X"-shaped scar on his chin was smeared with special soft mud, spreading his hair, his skin was pitch black, and there were unwashed mud on his clothes. He was completely different from the majestic and imposing Major General Drake before... If you were not close to him, you would not recognize who he was.

On this ship, Drake's identity was the ship's porter.

This merchant ship was just passing by on its way to Gaya Island, and their destination was still Alabasta on Route 10. Hearing that the G branch was buying a large amount of soil, the captain simply carried a shipload of soil on his way back after a job. With the omnipresent nature of merchants, even if the money given was not much, it could cover daily expenses.

At the same time, this is also the main source of soil for the G10 branch to trade with Sky Island.

After all, even if it was the Warring States period, the elite navy soldiers could not be asked to play in the mud collectively... "Hey Rector! We're almost there, get to work!!"

The pot-bellied captain poked his head out of the room carrying a silver wine jug, and when he spotted Drake on the deck, he roared with impatience.

"Yes! Captain!"

Drake retracted his gaze, answered woodenly, and trotted towards the warehouse.

"So... stupid and dumb!"

The captain took a sip of wine, and after a while he said with a cunning laugh that only businessmen have, "But he is really strong! One person is equivalent to five people, and he doesn't even ask for wages!"

In the distance, the white fortress built by Shimagumo of the G10 branch was clearly visible. The navy, which had been prepared, waved flags and asked merchant ships to dock outside for inspection.

……

Fang Port is a port at the edge of the G10 branch's lower jaw. It was named Fang Port because the land area extending into the sea after the transformation looks like the fangs of a beast.

The upper jaw port area where the airboat unit is located prohibits any ship with a draft greater than half a ton from entering. The only way to get here is by boat. Otherwise, you will be shot without hesitation. This is not the first time that merchant ships here understand the rules. After docking, they allow the navy to board and inspect.

Drake's alter ego, Rector, mixed in with the porters, unloading bags of soil onto the open space with a cart.

"Captain Henry, I've cleared out the crew lounge this time! The whole ship smells like mud and can't be cleaned! You'll have to give us a higher price!"

In order to load more mud, the fat captain, despite the crew's objections, drove them to sleep in the utility room on the lower floor and filled the vacated space with mud. The amount of mud on this merchant ship was equal to that of two or even three other merchant ships!
The lieutenant named Henry was stunned by this. After verifying with the corporal in charge of inspecting the merchant ship, there was a bit of contempt in his eyes.

He is indeed a businessman!
I value money over life!
This is not called overloading; it is simply a big package wrapped in mud with a layer of wood boards floating on the sea. A little storm will destroy the ship and kill people!
It didn't sink halfway, God is really blind!

Henry muttered a few words in his mind, took the receipt calmly, and then said.

"Sorry! The price is fixed. It's the same no matter how much you carry!"

Having said that, regardless of the fat captain's objection, he put the receipt away and ordered someone to bring the corresponding amount of Bailey.

Although the fat captain looked unhappy, he was very happy in his heart. His return trip from Water Seven to Alabasta was an empty ship, and at most he carried some local specialties to sell along the way to balance his expenses. Now that he had the G10 branch, he could make some extra money, which was already a great thing.

In the eyes of businessmen, no profit = loss!

If you make some money, you won’t lose money!
"Everyone, get moving! Whoever dares to be lazy will have no food tonight!"

After collecting Bailey, the fat captain sipped the wine and staggered towards the merchant ship, cursing all the way and asking the porters to move faster.

Time is money, and docking time is also time. If he unloads the goods and sets off one day later, he will earn one day less!

Drake was among the porters. Others cursed the black-hearted captain for his inhumanity in a low voice, but he just chuckled. Then, out of sight of outsiders, he looked at the magnificent G10 branch with deep eyes.

"Are those people preparing to go out to sea? It looks like they should have received the news..."

At the port, teams of soldiers boarded the ship one after another, preparing to go out to sea. Considering the current time, Drake knew what had happened.

Take your time to look for it!

Seeing this, Drake forced a smile on his face and continued to work calmly.

By the way, I have seen the suggestions of the book friends. Regarding the change of the protagonist, I did not consider it well enough. I was indeed a little anxious and started to correct it immediately. However, it is very troublesome to modify the VIP chapters, and it is impossible to modify them on a large scale (it will be 404), so I can only speed up the pace of future chapters and not delve into this aspect to bring everyone a good reading experience. I would like to thank all the book friends for their support. Many times, the author is confused and can't find the toxic points... No kidding!
