n1170 Drake and Apoo, Strange Numberer

nIn the huge Tenshou Pavilion, there is a space between the first floor hall and the underground floor, which is called ‘Between Iwato’.

n“Hey hey GO!”

nBang!

nWith a loud cry, an explosion exploded beside Drake’s head, and at that moment, Drake tilted his head and accurately avoided the direction of the explosion and looked at Apu, who was beating his chest opposite him.

n“I have seen through your ability. The condition to activate your ability is not simply ‘hearing’. You also have to rely on your sight to lock on, right? As long as you dodge the moment your sight is locked on, I can dodge your attack!”

n“Hey, don’t guess my ability, what’s the point!”

nApoo’s lips twitched and he pointed at Drake and said, “You fought with me so hard and even stole the antibodies and let Law go. It’s very suspicious, Drake. You are a Marine spy, right?”

nApoo doesn’t know the cause of the matter, and he doesn’t know that Quinn and Fuzzy Fur have already determined Drake’s identity, but he knows one thing. In the previous battle, this guy suddenly rebelled and defeated the Ten Ghosts of Number One, and he formed a temporary alliance with Luffy to deal with him. He also took away the Ice Ghost antibody that Quinn asked him to keep. It was because of him that Straw Hat could move on until he confronted Kaido.

nAlthough it is common for pirates to rebel, Apoo doesn’t think so. There are too many doubts about this guy, which has been the case since four years ago in Sabaody.

nAt that time, he wanted to defeat the Pacifista, he came to stop it. He wanted to sneak up on Marine, he also came to stop it.

nAfter arriving in the New World, he actually joined Kaido’s subordinates and formed the “Flying Rokushiki”. But after he joined them, their external operations were quite awkward. Although they all succeeded, Apu still felt very awkward.

nDrake snorted at Apu’s question and said, “I never admitted it.”

n“Forget it, it doesn’t matter now.”

nApoo lowered his long arm and said, “The key is that you want to defeat Kaido, right?”

nDrake crossed his arms and said nothing.

n“Up until now, even I didn’t expect the alliance of the three of them to be so strong. That’s Kaido and Big Mom. They can actually fight back and forth and even see the hope of victory. But whether they win or lose, after this battle, whether they win or lose, they will be covered in wounds and exhausted…”

nApoo took a few steps back and sat on the sofa in the back. He said, “You don’t belong to Straw Hat’s side, nor do you belong to the Beast Pirates’ side. In that case, what’s the point of us fighting? Why don’t you join forces with me? After their battle is over, we will take the final victory together!”

nHe raised his head and let out a unique laugh. “You guys say, right? Ahhh…”

nBehind him, there were three big giants who were concentrating on eating meat and drinking wine. Hearing Apu’s words, one of the giants who was drinking with his back to them turned his head and stared at Drake. The ferocity in his eyes shocked Drake.

nThese three ‘numbers’ are different from the ‘Ten Ghosts’ that they dealt with before. These three are very strong!

nDrake knew about the serial numberer after joining the Beast Pirates. He heard that it was a failed product of the ‘Huge Human’ experiment that Kaido bought from Caesar Kurana.

nBut he heard that Caesar Kurang’s experiment was not very long, and he was only experimenting with children. Why were there giants who were obviously different from children?

nThis is also one of the reasons why he took the risk to sneak into the Beast Pirates as a spy and find out where the experiments of these ‘numbered people’ came from.

nHowever, Caesar Kurang died in Dressrosa, and it was said that he was killed by Kingpin himself.

nThen he would have no way to verify it.

n“Did you find it? Ah Pa Pa…”

nApoo smiled and said, “Among the Numbers, these three are the strongest! And I command the Numbers. They will listen to me and rely on them. We can win the final victory. How about it, do you want to join forces?”

nDrake narrowed his eyes and sneered. “You have been Kaido’s subordinate for a long time. A pirate is a pirate. It’s hard for me to believe you.”

n“Ah, you are not trustworthy.”

nApoo laughed. “I just made a proposal that is in our best interest. Such a good opportunity, if we miss it, there will be no next time!”

nDrake was silent, as if thinking.

nSeeing this, Apu took advantage of the situation and said, “Hey, join in. We will join hands and we will take what we need. I don’t care if you are Marine or something else, you want Kaido, and I want Kaido’s forces. We are not in conflict, right?”

n“I refuse.”

nDrake suddenly said. He pulled out the long sword and four-bladed axe from his waist and said in a deep voice, “Since I promised to join forces with Straw Hat, I will not betray you easily. It is my duty to deal with you first!”

n“You bastard!”

nApoo’s face darkened and he shouted, “Can’t you listen to me? My opinion is so good. Besides, if you want to deal with me, you have to deal with these three serial numberers first!”

nHe didn’t really want to fight Drake. There was no benefit in winning or losing. He had to conserve his strength.

nBut the most important thing is…

nThese three serial numberers, one beauty, two tooth and three ghosts, actually don’t listen to him much!

nAlthough he is the commander of the serial numberers, the IQ of these failed experimental products is not enough at all. It is already good enough that they can understand a little command, especially these three. They do things purely based on their brains that they don’t know whether they like it or not. Although in Apu’s view, they don’t have brains, he really can’t control them. Occasionally, he can listen to orders and he will be grateful.

nWhoosh!

nBefore Apu could think about it, Drake rushed over.

n“How can it be fixed!”

nSeeing that the three Numbers did not move, Apoo exploded from the sofa and was about to hammer his chest with his hands.

nBang!!

nThe sound was not an attack from him, but a sudden explosion at the gate, raising a cloud of dust.

n“It’s broken!”

nYamato ran out of the smoke with his mace, looking anxious.

nApu turned around and said in surprise, “Yamato?!”

n“Eh? Drake? Apoo?”

nYamato saw the two of them and asked curiously, “What are you two doing here? Forget it, have you seen the fire square?!”

nFire front?

nWhat is that thing?

n“Hey, wait for us!”

nThere was another sound outside the gate, and Usopp and others rushed in on their Musk Dogs.

n“The Straw Hats!” Apoo was shocked again.

nDrake narrowed his eyes. Four people… Very good. He was not sure if he could face these three numberers who gave him a sense of crisis, but if there were more people, he could touch them.

n“Found you, Nico Robin!”

nJust as he was thinking this, a voice suddenly sounded from above.

nDrake looked up and saw two figures jumping down from the upper corridor and landing here.

nOne of them was a person wearing a large cloak and a mask, moving like a ghost.

nAnother was wearing a hat and a black and white mask on his face.

nCP0!

nDrake’s pupils shrank. Why is CP0 here?!

n“Fire front!”

nYamato, on the other hand, was shocked. Right above CP0, the fire front came out of nowhere and went straight down. Its hot flames instantly burned CP0 and they were surrounded by flames.

n
