Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"this…"

The sudden question made Drake a little confused.

He didn't know why Hawkins suddenly asked him. Several possible answers flashed through his mind, but he denied them all. Finally, he said stupidly.

"Yes, we are here after all."

Hawkins showed no expression on his face when he heard his answer. Just when Drake wanted to explain again, Becky leaned over to Hawkins smoking a cigar.

"Hawkins, have you begun to doubt the alliance?"

"It's not just me. Becky, you think so too, right?"

Becky raised her eyebrows, then took a few puffs of her cigar without answering Hawkins' question.

When Hawkins saw him agree, a smile appeared on his face.

"The problem we have now is not just our alliance. I even suspect that one of us is a traitor to the Kuro Pirates."

Hawkins crossed his hands and tapped his fingers on the backs of his hands.

His eyes swept over Bege and Drake like a searchlight. He felt that someone had been passing information to the Kuro Pirates since Pine Island.

Otherwise, why have they encountered obstacles everywhere along the way?

"A traitor in the Kuro Pirates?"

Becky had never thought that there might be a traitor among them, and then looked at Hawkins with some surprise.

When Drake heard Hawkins' suspicion that someone was a spy for the Kuro Pirates, Drake's nervousness suddenly relaxed.

After all, he is a spy for the navy and has no reliable connection with pirates.

Hawkins saw both of their reactions and when he saw how calm they looked, he erased any doubts he had about them.

Then he sorted out his thoughts and began to tell the two of them his judgment on the matter.

"You should all be aware of the situation before the explosion. The enemy was at the highest point of the castle and attacked downwards. After Kidd quickly rushed up, he didn't leave even a single enemy behind."

"There's not even a dead body. Don't you think there's something wrong here?

When Hawkins talked about the disappeared enemies, a trace of anger flashed across his face. Becky frowned, crossed her hands, and her eyes revealed thoughtfulness.

Drake also had doubts about this matter. After all, Kidd didn't seem like the kind of guy who would show mercy to his enemies.

"I'd also like to know why. There are quite a few enemies on the roof."

"That's because those guys had left before I got to the roof."

Just as Drake finished speaking, Kidd's voice suddenly came from behind him.

The three of them turned around quickly and couldn't help but take a deep breath after seeing the injuries on Kidd's body.

Kidd's cloak had disappeared, the wounds on his arms were bleeding, and the corners of his mouth, eyes, mouth and nose were covered with blood from the impact of the explosion.

"Kid, are you okay?"

Drake asked subconsciously when he saw him like this.

"Ah."

In response to Drake's question, Kidd answered expressionlessly, then walked past them, came to the edge of the big pit at the center of the explosion, and looked down at Apu who had turned into pieces below.

"Damn it guys! I didn't expect those bombs to be that powerful."

Kidd's face looked a little grim when he recalled the power of the explosion. He raised his left hand and a large number of metal parts flew towards his arm, and then quickly rotated around his arm like a metal storm.

"You should have a good rest here from now on!"

After Kidd finished speaking, the power of the fruit on his arm suddenly disappeared, and the metal parts spinning in the air immediately lost their energy and fell towards the big pit below!

"Crash, crash, crash!"

In the blink of an eye, the metal parts filled the huge hole caused by the explosion. Kidd took a look but still felt unsatisfied, so he raised his head and looked around.

Suddenly, he saw a metal plate about two meters long in the distance. This was used to pave the ground when building the dungeon. Kidd released his fruit ability towards the metal plate.

The huge metal plate was pulled straight up from the ground and flew towards him.

"Swish! Buzz~"

The metal plate flew in front of him and stopped steadily in the air. Then Kidd waved his finger, and the metal plate immediately flipped over and inserted into the ground.

"Kid, what are you doing?"

Drake asked with some confusion when he saw Kidd's operation.

"Give this guy a tombstone."

Kidd looked at the crooked metal plate, moved his fingers to straighten it, and then turned around.

He stared at the three people behind him with a bad look.

"You just suspected that I was a spy for the Kuro Pirates, right?"

"Yes, judging from what happened just now, you are indeed a big suspect."

"what about now?"

Kidd showed them his bloody arm as he spoke. Hawkins and Becky remained silent.

"Humph, if you have such thoughts next time, don't blame me for killing you!"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. Drake saw the invisible sparks between the three people and quickly walked up to Kidd.

"Kid, are you okay with your injuries?"

Drake stood between the three of them, Becky narrowed her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"It's okay. I used my fruit ability to block the impact of the explosion. It didn't kill me, but just injured my arm."

Kidd said this unhappily. He had just walked back when he heard them talking about how he was a spy for the Kuro Pirates. What a joke!

"Well, now that we have occupied Cake Island, we have achieved our original goal."

Hawkins ignored the displeasure in Kidd's words and turned to talk about the conquest of all nations.

There was a chill in Kidd's eyes when he looked at him, but Kira was not by his side. Becky and Drake were watching him eagerly.

The situation here was unclear, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

"Well, the result of this battle with the Kuro Pirates was that we won a great victory. Let's just let what happened just now go. After all, Hawkins was also worried that the Kuro Pirates would play tricks."

Drake stepped out to smooth things over, and Kidd snorted coldly without saying anything more.

"The battle here is over. Tell the men on Pine Cone Island to rush to Cake Island."

"It's better to wait for this matter!"

Drake couldn't help but speak out to stop him.

"What do you have to say, Drake?"

"It's not that I have a problem, but there was an explosion here just now. Even the castle was blown up. We don't even have a place to live. We might as well go back to Songguo Island. After all, there is still room for us to live there."

"What Drake said makes sense. Let's leave this place to Apu."
