Pirates: Knowledge is power

In a certain sea area of ​​​​the New World, Drum lived in the laboratory of the ship's cabin, using a microscope to observe the golden blood in the glass slides.

"Wonderful, wonderful, such experimental subjects must be cultivated well."

After obtaining Sengoku's blood, Drum couldn't wait to conduct research.

It's not like he doesn't have the blood of the phantom beast species.

After all, he himself is a devil fruit user with the dragon dragon fruit phantom species ability, and Victoria is also a phantom beast species ability user. He wants to get some phantom beast species blood, which is actually quite simple.

It's just that no matter how research-minded he is, he won't be so bold and confident as to use his own blood for experimental research.

It would be okay if he got a devil fruit, he would accept it no matter if it was a failure or a defective one. But if he got himself a clone, he should think about how to end it.

At least with Sengoku's blood research, he didn't feel any guilt at all whether it was a devil fruit or a clone. It really didn't end well. He could just destroy the results. It would be a waste of resources at most, but he could It is not unacceptable to use money to fill it.

And now he needs a quiet place to experiment.

Wanting a quiet place to study, Drum first thought of two places.

One is the country of Wano, and the other is Sky Island.

Both places are isolated from the world. No matter what he does there, no matter how excessive it is, it will be difficult for him to spread to the outside world.

At least in these two places, he didn't have to worry about his reputation being damaged due to those too cruel experiments.

Confinement, transformation, human experimentation, these things are extremely cruel to the outside world, he can do whatever he wants in these two places!

Moreover, there are natural barriers in both places, which are enough to stop most powerful enemies. He can occupy one place at will without any worries.

As for the sky island, it would be quite easy for him to get up there. Although the sky island is located high in the sky, as long as a plane or helicopter is built, there will be no problem in going back and forth.

Moreover, there are few people on Sky Island, and there are not even any decent strong men, so Dram is not in a hurry to take down Sky Island. His current target is Wano Country.

He wants to drive out Kozuki Oden before Whitebeard arrives in Wano Country, and also wants to completely control the item of Wano Country in his own hands before Kaido is about to enter Wano Country.

Although the country of Wano is in terrible shape, there are still many strong men, and there are still many decent strong men in the daimyo samurai in various regions.

Especially that fool Kozuki Oden. Although his brain is not good, he still has strength.

The point is that Drum must throw Kozuki Oden into the sea before Whitebeard reaches Wano Country, and he must not let Whitebeard take Kozuki Oden on the ship.

He was extremely fond of Whitebeard's strength. He was the strongest man in the world, and his reputation was something he could not deny.

Whether he closes Whitebeard or takes Wano into his pocket, Kozuki Oden will always be a problem that needs to be dealt with.

Without Kozuki Oden, there would be no conflict between Whitebeard and Kaido. Without Kozuki Oden, there would be no shameless Wano kid.

In short, the world would be a beautiful place without Kozuki Oden.

So whether it's to win over strong men or for his future plans, Kozuki Oden must follow the path he arranged!

During the two years of dormancy, Dram was not only looking for the devil fruits of those phantom beasts, but he also found the general location of the country of Wano.

So this time I just followed the set route.

Thinking about the Devil Fruits of Wano Country, the craftsmen and mineral veins of Kailou Stone, the huge population, and the Kozuki Sukiyaki that can forge large swords, these are all very important resources. When thinking of these, Dram will inevitably Wano Country will not be given away.

"The supplies on the ship are almost running out. Do you want to replenish them?"

Victoria knocked on the door and walked in, holding a list in her hand and asking Drum.

"What's missing on the ship?" Drum took the list over and unfolded it. The items in front were not important, but there were several materials underneath that he needed for experiments.

Originally, he wanted Victoria to go shopping directly, but it seemed like he was going to go there in person.

"What's the closest country to us?"

Durham asked as he put away his list.

Victoria thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "A country called Redslow...Eve, should it be this country?"

"Yes." The screen in front of Dram suddenly lit up, and a white planet model appeared on the screen and rotated regularly.

The answer to Victoria was Eve, the artificial intelligence developed by Durham in the past two years.

Although she has no emotions, Eve is still very qualified as a housekeeper and guide.

"Three hundred nautical miles ahead is a country called Dreslo. Its land area...population...humanities and customs...but according to the intelligence analysis previously obtained, there is a big pirate with a bounty of 1.267 billion. Gol D. Roger seems to have taken his companions to that country recently, would you like to avoid Dreslo?"

"No need, it's just Roger, it's not enough evidence." Roger's name may have some effect on pirates or navy, but for him, it's just a name, and the ordinary one can no longer be ordinary.

"We are planning a route and we expect to arrive in twelve hours and thirty-four minutes."

……

When Drum came to Redesloe, the whole country of Redesloe seemed to be in a war.

There are ruins everywhere, and there is a woman sitting in the ruins holding her child. Next to her is her husband's body, crying bitterly.

Not only was Dram a little shocked when he saw this, but even Victoria couldn't believe it.

Although Durham alone was enough to purchase items, Victoria's cosmetics were almost used, and she also came with the cosmetics she planned to buy.

But looking at the situation in Redeslow, I'm afraid there are not many complete houses left. Let alone buying cosmetics, it may not be easy to buy some food.

"Victoria, please go and find out what is happening in this country?"

Drum covered his head. If Redslow had only encountered one war, he should still be able to buy everything he wanted to buy.

After all, although the impact of war on a country is disastrous, it is not enough to collapse the country.

But Drum remembered that Eve had mentioned that Gol D. Roger had also come to this country. This reminded Drum that because someone insulted Gol D. Roger's partner, he killed one of them. National military matters.

Drum just hoped that things were not what he thought, otherwise he would probably come back empty-handed this time.
