Pirates: Knowledge is power

The mechanical arm rolled to Drum's feet, and Drum smiled slyly.

The dragon's tail flicked, and the knife taken from Chi Hu spun and flew out.

Hakuba used his armor to knock the knife away, but failed to guard against the mechanical arm that followed closely behind.

The mechanical arm grabbed Baima's hand, and the sea floor stone on it worked. The fruit's ability was suppressed, allowing Baima to return to his normal appearance.

Especially the cannonballs that are being prepared for use. As long as they explode, Baima will definitely be injured.

But Satan's eyes widened in the distance, and an explosion appeared on the mechanical arm out of thin air. The mechanical arm was destroyed, and the cannonballs that were ready to be fired were blocked.

But he still held on to the white horse tightly, preventing him from getting out of trouble.

Warring States wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Taurus who suddenly jumped out.

Looking at the "resurrected" Taurus, Sartan was shocked, and then a ball of unknown anger surged in his heart.

How could he not understand that Dram had already prepared for it, and that this battle had almost all been arranged by him, and even he was a pawn on the opponent's chessboard.

Seeing the Taurus reappearing, Delam was in a good mood. After shaking off the ghost, it was time to finish...

An hour later, the original battlefield had turned into a big pit.

The navy was defeated and suffered heavy losses.

After Cyborg Kong lost four lives again and lost one of his left eyes, Sartan, who was seriously injured and in a coma with a broken hand, escaped in embarrassment.

The white horse Red Tiger died in battle, and the ghost king soldier Jinniu blew himself up and died together with the two of them.

Warring States lost a leg and was taken away by Zefa.

As the winner, Drum just sat on the battlefield after the incident, wiping the blood flowing from his seven orifices with his sleeves.

He won this battle.

After this battle, only 2,000 of the 60,000 navy soldiers fled back. Almost all the generals who participated in this battle were wiped out, and only three people escaped with serious injuries.

None of the mid-level and low-level officers were left behind, and all died on the battlefield. Most of those who escaped were naval soldiers who had provided support later and had not gone deep into the battlefield before.

Regardless of victory or not, it is inevitable that the Navy will suffer from injuries.

In the battle outside the Black Forest Island, although Shiji, who knew he was outmatched, left with his men after being injured, Garp was not much better, and was also covered in bruises.

But his situation was the best compared to the others, and the others returned to Malinfando under his protection.

This war is definitely the most disastrous loss suffered by the navy in recent years.

Even the Battle of God's Kingdom could not cause such losses to the navy.

Not only did the two former generals die in the battle, but even those who returned alive were injured.

As for Dram, although he was also seriously injured, he only needed a night's sleep to recover.

After this battle, Drum became famous, and even some remote places recognized him.

Especially after the technology of Ghost King Guard, which is different from Ghost King Soldier, was made public.

Not only can he retain his consciousness, he can become stronger without any effort, and he can also hug the strong man Dram.

After this kind of thing spread, it naturally attracted many interested people to seek refuge.

They don't want to work hard and want to live a happy life.

Taking refuge in Dram was their best choice.

Drum naturally accepted all the pirates who came to seek refuge.

He has plenty of means to control these guys, so why not take them away.

When Dram was vigorously expanding his power, the World Government and the Navy adopted a tacit and indifferent attitude towards Dram's behavior.

The last time it suffered heavy losses, the navy no longer had the strength to launch a second war.

Therefore, they have no power to stop Dram's expansion of power.

For at least ten years, the navy will not be able to launch a war of this scale unless it breaks its muscles and bones.

They could only acquiesce to Dram's expansion, and with the help of the world government, they began to recruit troops from all over the world to expand their strength.

The navy lost this time, but Sartan also coveted the technology in Dram's hands even more.

Even the other Five Old Stars are particularly unified in their opinions. They also support Sartan to seize Dram's Ghost King Soldier technology again.

From this war, they have seen the combat power of the Ghost King's soldiers.

But the prerequisite for seizing technology is that the World Government's strength is not exposed and the World Government's heritage is not used.

So their choice was to support the navy and make the navy stronger, and they also provided a large amount of research funds to Vegapunk to conduct relevant research experiments.

At least they will see results when the next war begins.

This requirement can give Vegapunk a headache. He does have a lot of technology, but most of his research directions are quite miscellaneous.

He actually doesn't have much war-related technology at his disposal.

Moreover, his research base had just been established, and there were still many things that he needed to deal with, so after a night of thinking, Vegapunk thought of the armor worn by Mariejoia's soldiers, and suddenly he had an idea...

Six years later, Hell Island.

Because the atmosphere of Black Forest Island was relatively gloomy after it was completely built, Drum changed the name of Black Forest Island to Hell Island.

And he established his own power on Hell Island.

Drum is sitting in a luxurious office. Six years have made his face more mature.

It's just that unlike those monster-sized ghosts, Dram's height has remained at three meters and two. It's not considered a disability, but it's not as good as those larger guys.

At this time, he was holding a list in his hand and looking at it. On it were the pirates who had recently joined his force, as well as the list of those who had applied to be transformed into Ghost King Guards.

After that battle, the navy suffered heavy losses. Coupled with the pirate-infested sea, the navy was beyond its capabilities.

The development of his power is even more irresistible.

Although he is not a pirate, the World Government still calls him the Four Great Pirates of the New World along with Whitebeard, Roger, and Golden Lion.

While he was carefully looking at the renovation list, the office door was pushed open.

Victoria walked in wearing a white military uniform and threw a stack of information on Dram's table.

"This is information obtained from the underground world. It is said that a phantom beast fruit has appeared in the Kingdom of Injeero. Let me tell you whether to grab it or not."

During the years when Dram established his power, his time was very full because he needed to balance experimentation and management.

The intelligence he needed to collect and the management of personnel that he needed to collect before were all handled by Dram to Victoria. She is equivalent to the great housekeeper of this force, and her power is second only to Dram.

But at the same time, her temper has become increasingly irritable over the years, and she doesn't have a good look even when facing Dram, her immediate boss.
