After Drake finished his call with Sengoku, he glanced at the island where Blackbeard and Bonney were.
After confirming that they couldn't leave anytime soon, he quietly returned to the first half of the Grand Line.
Drake was heading straight for the Sabaody Archipelago, where a great battle had just ended!
Drake bears the heavy responsibility of infiltrating the Beasts.
Instead of going to Kaido of the Beasts, who is thousands of miles away, it would be better to come directly to Luo Xing, the young master of the Beasts and one of the Five Emperors, who is closer to us.
The fact that the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing subdued so many criminals in Impel Down shows that he must be an extremely ambitious person who loves talent.
Drake was confident that with his strength and Devil Fruit ability, the Five Emperors Luo Xing would be happy to subdue him.
Once you gain that man's trust, it will be much easier to gather information about the Beast Gang's movements or steal those incredible inventions!
With this in mind, Drake calmly arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.
At this point, Sabaody Archipelago had been completely transformed into a war base by the Beast Pirates.
The defenses were extremely tight.
In addition to the island's defenses, there are also three-masted terrorist ships, comparable in size to the island, in the waters to the right, forming a pincer movement with Sabaody Archipelago.
With a vicious army of criminals and an undead army of zombies, such a defense is practically impregnable.
Even if the Navy and the World Government were to launch another large-scale attack, the Beast Pirates could handle it with ease.
Upon seeing this formidable and imposing defense, Drake couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed and tense.
He was spotted by a criminal legion soldier as soon as he landed on the island.
The criminal pointed a gun at him and shouted:
"who are you?"
Drake immediately raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm, and said:
"I am X Drake, and I have come to pledge allegiance to Lord Luo Xing, the Fifth Emperor."
x Drake?
The criminal seemed to recognize the name Drake, a sneer appearing on his face.
"So you're the so-called extremely evil supernova, huh? Well, you're quite sensible to know when to surrender. Fine, you wait here, I'll go report to Lord Luo Xing."
The criminal quickly ran to Luo Xing's residence.
Just moments before, he had been met with Drake's sneer and disdain, but in the blink of an eye, he had become extremely humble and submissive.
The criminal soldier immediately knelt on the ground and said:
"Lord Luo Xing, a supernova named X Drake has just arrived on the island, saying he wants to join us."
Luo Xing, who was sitting at the head of the table, raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.
He then curled his lips into a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.
His gaze swept toward Shiryu of the Rain beside him, and he said indifferently:
"Does anyone, even a Tom, Dick, or Harry, deserve to be my subordinate? Shiryu, go and retrieve that guy's head."
208. Drake's inexplicable death and Bonney's ingenious use of her Devil Fruit power.
Shiliu, without even asking why Luo Xing wanted to kill Drake, replied with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes:
"Please wait here for a moment, my lord. I will be right back."
Shiliu soon arrived at the coast of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Drake was slightly displeased to see that it was Shiryu who came out to greet him, instead of the Five Emperors Luo Xing himself.
He originally thought that the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing would come out in person, after all, he was the first supernova to approach the Hundred Beasts Group.
and,
He is also an Ancient Zoan user of the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, so the Beast Pirates should take him very seriously.
Drake did not show these emotions on his face.
Instead, he forced a smile and looked at Shiliu, saying:
"Commander Shiryu, I met you once when I was in the Navy."
"I never imagined that after so many years, we would be on the same side again."
Shiryu, cigar in mouth, gave a cold smile:
"Same camp? Drake, you overestimate yourself! Do you think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be a subordinate of the Fifth Emperor?"
Drake's expression changed slightly.
He never expected that...
Not only did the Five Emperors Luo Xing not show him a warm welcome, but the Xi Liu they sent actually looked down on him.
How arrogant!
Drake felt a surge of anger; he had never been so looked down upon before.
Fortunately, as a naval undercover agent, he was quite patient.
Drake's smile remained unchanged as he said:
"Chief Warden Shiryu, I know that joining the Beasts Pirates usually requires a pledge of allegiance."
"I have some information about Blackbeard. I wonder if the Fifth Emperor would be interested?"
Shiryu, who was about to draw his sword to kill Drake, paused:
"Oh? You know where that black guy is?"
Drake then told Shiryu about the Blackbeard Pirates' location on a small island at the entrance to the New World.
Drake knew that the Beast Pirates and the Black Organization were definitely at odds.
otherwise,
During the Marineford War, Gecko Moria, one of the Five Emperors' subordinates, would not have interfered with Blackbeard's plans.
Drake informed the Beasts of the Black Organization's information.
Firstly, it can indeed serve as a pledge of allegiance to gain the other party's trust.
Secondly, he hoped to see the Beast Pirates and the Black Pirates fight like dogs, since they were both a bunch of pirates who deserved to die anyway.
As long as the Beast Pirates and the Black Organization fight, it will be beneficial to the Navy and the World Government, regardless of which side wins.
Although Shiliu was unaware of Drake's cunning plan, it didn't stop him from proceeding with his attack.
Shiryu drew his famous sword, Raiyu, and laughed cruelly:
"Thank you for providing this information. It may be useful to Lord Five Emperors."
"In gratitude, I'll offer you my head as a gift!"
hum!
As soon as he finished speaking, Shiryu swung his sword and slashed straight at Drake's neck.
Drake, who had not expected this situation at all, was shocked and utterly horrified.
Why did Shiryu suddenly want to kill him?
No, it's that the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing didn't even meet him once before sending Xi Liu to kill him.
Has his undercover identity been exposed?
That's impossible! His identity is known only to a few high-ranking members of the Navy, such as Sengoku!
There is absolutely no way that outsiders could know this!
Drake was filled with confusion.
But he had no time to think anymore; the threat of death was right before his eyes!
Drake's skin turned a deep red, and in an instant, all the blood and energy in his body were mobilized.
Finally, just as Shiryu's blade was about to sever his neck, he narrowly avoided it.
Drake rolled away, panting heavily, and said in fear:
"Why, why did you kill me?"
Shiryu stepped forward, sword in hand, and shrugged indifferently.
Does murder need a reason?
hum!
Another vertical slash.
Drake's face turned extremely grim.
He hurriedly drew his sword to defend himself.
However, his sword was cleaved in two by Shiryu's sword.
Drake immediately turned pale.
