Plague Bullets Don't Spare Their Owner
The mechanical claws gripped Drake's shoulder armor, and the five iron hooks tightened inwards.
Drake couldn't break free. He kicked over the brazier, and the embers rolled to the Queen's feet, setting her cloak ablaze.
"You really dare to set such a question!"
The Queen flung her cloak aside, and the mechanical claws followed suit, veering off course.
Drake crashed into the window, half of his shoulder armor was torn off, and he tumbled onto the iron pipe.
Gunshots rang out from the warehouse.
An iron pipe lay across the outside of the cliff, below which was black water.
Drake deflected a bullet with his knife, and as his shoe stepped over the joint, a piece of rust fell into the sea.
The Queen stood at the window.
Where can you run to?
"I'll stay away from you for now."
Lin Qi has already set up a temporary title page.
Who is currently in charge of the Plague Bullets?
When no options appeared, Queen's six subordinates took two steps back.
One of them clutched the wooden box at his waist.
The Queen turned around and shouted, "What are you covering up for?"
I didn't take it.
"So what's in your box?"
"Standard ammunition."
The other person immediately said, "He came out of the lab last night, and he didn't let us touch the box."
"Nonsense, you're the one who took me there!"
The two started arguing at the doorway.
The Queen's mechanical arm extended, grabbed the wooden box, and pulled it from her subordinate's waist.
The box lid slammed open, and three patterned bullets rolled out.
Everyone in the warehouse dispersed.
"Plague Bullets!"
"Queen, you said it hadn't been loaded onto the ship yet!"
"Who let you run away?"
The Queen stepped on one of the bullets, while the other two rolled down the sloping floor toward the brazier.
Drake glanced back.
"Burn it a little longer, and your warehouse will clear out everyone on its own."
The Queen didn't bother chasing him; she used her mechanical claws to sweep away the brazier and retrieve the two bullets.
Lin Qi asked, "Do you know the ammunition list?"
"I know part of it."
Write it down.
"Cannot be written."
"Why?"
"There are people on the list who are willing to help me get out."
Sengoku asked, "Then how do we investigate?"
"Only investigate those who were forced to accept the information."
Drake walked down the iron pipe, and ahead was a maintenance ladder, but two pirates were standing at the top of the ladder.
The two men held their guns, but did not immediately pull the trigger.
The person on the left asked, "Can we see our names on the title page?"
"I didn't write it."
"Queen said that once the Plague Bullets are deployed, we will be responsible for them ourselves."
"Did you agree to take it?"
The person on the right shook their head.
He said if we didn't take it, we'd be the ones used as test subjects first.
The Queen leaned half her body out of the window.
"Shoot him down!"
The two pirates exchanged a glance.
The man on the left fired a shot towards the top of the iron pipe.
The bullet hit the mounting bracket, and large patches of rust fell, obscuring Queen's view.
"We missed!"
"Waste!"
Drake walked between the two.
The person on the right stepped aside and whispered a reminder.
"The second platform below is guarded."
Thanks.
Don't remember the names.
I didn't see you.
Drake grabbed the maintenance ladder and slid down.
The page on the screen began to read the distribution records of the Plague Bullets on its own, and thirty-seven names appeared one after another.
Each name is followed by the same explanation.
[Those who refuse to be admitted will be put on trial for drug use.]
"Are these people considered to be using this service voluntarily?" Makino asked.
"No."
Drake landed on the second platform and drew his sword to block the long club that was coming at him.
The one guarding this spot was a long-horned pirate, who cursed as he looked at the announcement page.
"I knew that box of things would cause trouble sooner or later."
"Give Way."
"If I give in, Queen will kill me."
Even if you stop me, he won't let you go.
"What should we do then?"
Give me the stick.
The Longhorn Pirate was stunned for a moment.
Drake snatched the long stick and shoved him in the stomach.
The man slammed into the wall, and before lying down, he kicked open the lock on the platform exit.
"You went too far."
Drake added a kick.
That's enough.
Queen's cursing came from above the platform, growing closer and closer.
Drake pushed open the exit, revealing a sloping track for transporting weapons.
The railcar was parked high up, and it was piled high with raw Seastone.
Vegapunk said, "Don't get in that car, the brake lines are broken."
"I didn't plan to brake."
What's next?
"Arms Port."
Is there anyone at the Port to meet us?
"So it was there."
"It's the same old story again?"
"The rendezvous point was taken down two weeks ago."
Luo opened up on another route.
There is a drainage channel on the west side of the weapons port.
Drake stopped next to the railcar.
How did you know?
I've been to Wano Country.
Where is the exit?
"Submarines can enter areas below the sea surface."
"Is your ship nearby?"
Six more hours.
Queen has jumped to the second platform.
"Drake!"
The long-horned pirate lay on the ground, pointing to the other side.
"He ran that way!"
Without even looking, the Queen grabbed the edge of the track with her mechanical claws and swung down.
Your co-star acted terribly!
Drake pulled out the anchor bolts securing the railcar.
The wheels began to turn.
"Luo, six hours is too long."
"Then let's live for six hours first."
"The drainage channel has Seastone gate."
"I know."
How do you drive?
"Give me the gate number; the Polar Tang has an old key of the same model."
Drake jumped onto the railcar.
The vehicle sped up, and the load of stones made the truck bed shake violently.
Queen landed on the rear track, and her mechanical legs began to accelerate.
Don't think you can escape just by going down there!
I didn't think so.
Drake raised his knife and cut a support cable.
The wooden frame used for loading goods fell down and lay across the middle of the tracks.
The Queen crashed through the wooden frame, only slightly slower.
Vegapunk stared at the structural diagram.
"The track ahead has broken."
"How far?"
"Less than 300 meters."
What about the Port?
"Below the fracture."
That's enough.
Sengoku shouted, "Drake, jump out of the car!"
"You can't jump into the water now."
"If we go any further, the whole car will fall off."
"I know."
The railcar rounded the last curve.
The broken track ahead is already visible, and the weapons port below is packed with people.
The Queen laughed loudly from behind.
You've chosen a dead end!
Drake kicked the latch at the rear of the car, Seastone raw materials rolled off the car, covering the tracks.
The Queen's mechanical leg stepped on the first stone, and the power shaft got stuck on the spot.
He fell forward, grabbing the edge of the cart with both hands.
Drake looked down at the hands.
"Didn't you want to arrest me?"
The Queen raised her head.
"If you dare let go, you'll fall too!"
"This car was going to fall anyway."
Drake swung his knife and chopped through the car panel.
The latter half, carrying Queen, flipped off the tracks and crashed into the roof of the weapons depot.
The first half rushed over the break.
Sengoku used the table to support himself as he stood up.
The only things left in the picture are the seawater and the approaching Port walls.
Drake jumped off the front of the car before crashing into the rock wall, landing in the drainage ditch.
The water flow pushed him toward the sluice gate.
He took an old iron plate from his waist and inserted it into a hole on the side of the gate.
The iron plate can only be advanced halfway.
Luo asked, "Number?"
Drake wiped the water off the metal plate.
"North Blue standard, July 19th."
Onboard the Polar Tang, Luo opened the key box.
The corresponding position is empty.
"The key is not here."
"You just said you had it."
"It's been taken."
"Who?"
Bepo took out a borrowing slip from the bottom of the box.
"Captain, here are the names."
Luo took it and glanced at it.
The borrower's name is Corazon.
The date is thirteen years ago.
From the water behind Drake, the shouts of Queen's men could already be heard.
But the sound of a key turning could be heard from inside the gate.
A woman asked through the door, "Is that X Drake outside?"
Drake gripped the knife handle tightly.
"Who are you?"
"Naval Special Forces Temporary Support Officer"
"Report code."
"No code name."
The person inside the door paused for a moment.
"Lieutenant Colonel Rosinante told me to wait here for the children wearing goggles."
