Pirates: Knowledge is power

"I have admired you for a long time, Mr. Drum. My name is Anthony D. Hannibal. I am a doctor. I have admired Mr. Drum for a long time." Anthony D. Hannibal held Drum's hand, his eyes full of enthusiasm. .

Regarding this stranger who suddenly broke into his ship, Drum shook off his hand without leaving a trace.

"Anthony D. Hannibal, I have never heard of it. You were the one who killed the Ghost King soldiers on my ship."

Anthony D. Hannibal, as soon as you hear this name, you will know that he is a good person.

"It's me, it's me. Please don't worry about the sudden interruption. Mr. Drum's creation is really so amazing that I can't help it. The one I defeated before was the Ghost King Soldier. It combines humans and machines. Everything, and there are no side effects, the legendary creation of life is nothing more than that."

"It's a pity that I blew myself up just after I subdued them. I didn't even have time to study them. It's such a pity."

Anthony introduced Drum familiarly, his eyes full of enthusiasm for machinery.

"Mr. Durham, are you interested in accepting students? I am willing to study with Mr. Durham. I don't need a salary, as long as I can stay with Mr. Durham..."

Anthony D. Hannibal, formerly a resident of a nearby town and a physician by profession.

He was originally very popular in the town. After all, doctors are often a rare profession in this world, especially doctors with superb medical skills, which are even rarer in the sea.

After all, most of those doctors with medical skills and abilities are the personal doctors of nobles in various kingdoms, and only a few of them will appear in the navy or pirate camp.

Anthony D. Hannibal is such a skilled doctor.

Originally, he could always be respected, but Anthony's heart is full of exploration spirit.

He is full of obsession and yearning for the human body and its structure.

Strong yearning, but not released.

This also caused Anthony's thoughts and personality to gradually become distorted from his original self.

In order to explore the mysteries of the human body, he constantly used people to perform dissection experiments.

It started with homeless people, people from out of town.

Not many people care about their life and death, which also prevents Anthony's research from being discovered.

Tramps always disappear, because they are wandering, have no place to live, no fixed source of income, and few vagrants have relatives. Even if they suddenly disappear one day, not many people will care. I don't know where he died.

As for the people from outside the town, there may not necessarily be too many in number, and for people from outside, Anthony only needs to be cleaner.

Then most people will just think that the person has left the town, and will not think about being captured or missing.

But both homeless people and people from outside the town are very limited.

Due to the expansion of the scale of the experiment, Anthony, who was gradually unsatisfied with his experiments, slowly turned his attention to the citizens who respected him...

As residents continued to disappear, the town's police chief noticed something was wrong and began to investigate.

A wide range of people are missing, including children, women, and the elderly. Young adults.

Missing people run the gamut, with almost no rhyme or reason.

But as clues were found one after another, and all converged on Tony D. Hannibal, no matter how respected he was, the suspicions about him became more and more serious.

Until one night, the police sergeant also led a raid on a suspected location and found the cellar where Anthony used to study human bodies and prepare specimens, and found hundreds of dissected corpses.

There are also notes left by Anthony in the cellar.

Even though many people don't want to believe it, the facts cannot be changed at all.

The seemingly respected doctor actually captured a large number of people for research in private.

He has a human face and an animal heart. It's a shame that they still respect him so much.

The furious villagers seemed ready to tear Anthony into pieces.

When Anthony learned that the incident had been revealed, he did not hesitate. He just packed up his notes and surgical instruments and left the village immediately.

On the way to escape, Anthony rescued a pirate, and the pirate was not an ungrateful person.

He taught Anthony some fighting techniques and told Anthony about Haki, which also gave him the capital to return to the town for research.

Especially when he saw Dram's transformed ghost king soldiers in the newspaper.

His thirst for knowledge was aroused again.

After being pestered by Anthony for some time, Drum promised to give Anthony a chance.

He gradually asked several questions, and Anthony solved them perfectly, which made Drum realize that the other party was a very good biologist.

So he agreed to let him study with him.

After all, my current workload is actually quite heavy, and I don’t even have much time to rest and exercise.

It would be good if someone could help him share some of the work. After all, Anthony is very interested in his mechanical transformation technology, just like a student seeking knowledge, he is very easy to fool.

He didn't think Anthony was a spy sent to him by the World Government.

After all, the world government would not be so stupid as to send a arrogant person to lurk next to him until he asked questions.

He only needs to teach Anthony some knowledge and he can get an extremely cheap labor force.

As long as Anthony is out of the army, he does not need to personally perform the transformation of ordinary ghost king soldiers.

His work can be greatly reduced, and he can spare more time for research and doing his own things.

Thinking of this, Drum no longer cared about Anthony destroying several of his Ghost King soldiers.

He is now anxious to return to the country of Wano and train Anthony as a master as soon as possible.

In that case, not to mention a few Ghost King soldiers, all of his Ghost King soldiers can form an army by then.

Here Drum gained a tool man that he could drive, while on the navy side, they were quarreling over this meeting.

In the Battle of Black Rock Island, although the Navy won in name, they knew the actual situation very well.

Rather than saying that they won, it was better to say that the pirates retreated on their own.

Not only the navy was dissatisfied with this incident, but the World Government was also dissatisfied.

Not only did none of the three CP0 members they sent come back, but the phantom beast fruit they had already set as their target was also snatched away by Dram.

You must know that there are many strong people among the Celestial Dragons, but because they are Celestial Dragons, those people often have their eyes higher than their heads.

Ordinary Devil Fruits cannot catch their eye at all. The Devil Fruits they will choose to eat must be the top and rarest ones.

Most of the devil fruits that can satisfy these Celestial Dragons are from the phantom beast species, which are not only rare, but also very difficult to find.
