"Kate, Abu, come with me."
After leaving the royal city, Orlan called out to Kate and Absalom.
At this time, Oran was not sure whether the fruit was the Swallowing Fruit. If not, it would be fine. If it was, he must get the fruit.
That's why he only called Kate and Absalom.
Although many individuals are creations of Orlan, they all have their own behavioral patterns. For example, Zac and Blitzcrank are individuals who tend to be good.
They will complete any order given by Orlan, but the process will be very different.
In this situation where conflict could break out, Absalom and Kate are more suitable for the task.
The Drum Kingdom and Piltover can be considered neighboring countries, but they are not on the same route. If they move forward normally and straight, they will not intersect.
The direction will only change if it accidentally reaches another island, causing the magnetic field to reset.
For those with special ideas, traveling between the two islands is not difficult.
"Olan."
"Owner."
Soon, Oran waited for the two people at the port by the sea.
"The situation is simple. A devil fruit appeared in the Drum Kingdom. It is very likely the target we are looking for.
This time we are going to get that fruit, no matter what. Do you understand?"
It would be best to obtain the fruit through peaceful means such as trade, but the problem is that devil fruits are often hard to come by.
As a kingdom with the right to participate in the World Conference, the Drum Kingdom is not poor, and can even be considered wealthy.
But even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a devil fruit. Oran is not sure whether the royal family of the Drum Kingdom will choose to sell the fruit if it falls into their hands.
Of course, using any means necessary does not mean killing people at will.
After all, the Drum Kingdom is still a member state. If it does so, the image it has accumulated over the years will be wasted.
It's just that there will be some radical measures.
"clear."
"clear."
Soon, the bear also came here. Oran let Kate and Absalom enter his book, and then signaled the bear to pat him over.
This is by far the fastest way to move.
Fortunately, Xiong had been to the Drum Kingdom over the years and knew the specific coordinates there. With a wave of his hand, he sent Oran from Firefly Island to his destination.
A bear-paw-shaped bubble streaked across the sky and flew towards the Drum Kingdom.
Drum Island, a winter island on the Grand Line, is covered with snow most of the year, and cold winter is the norm here.
Although the Grand Line has four seasons, the premise of the four seasons depends on the local environment of the island.
For example, the spring in Dongdao is slightly warmer than the cold winter, but it can never escape the constraints of winter.
A bear paw mark suddenly appeared on the snow that had accumulated for many years, and then Oran walked out of it.
After brushing off the scattered snowflakes on his body, Orlan released Kate and Absalom from the book again.
"Well, this place is much more comfortable than Alabasta. Winter Island is still more suitable for Meowth to survive."
The cold surroundings had no effect on Kate. Considering the height of the Elephant Lord, the area where the Fur Tribe lived was originally a high-altitude cold area, and this fur was created for this reason.
If they feel cold, they can put on more clothes, but if it is too hot, they can't take off their fur.
At this time, several bears holding hiking poles suddenly walked past Oran and his friends, and bowed to Oran.
It's not that these bears are so polite, it's just their survival habits.
Like many countries in the Grand Line, the Drum Kingdom is also home to many unique creatures.
These bears are an example. They are called hiking bears and they usually move on the snowy mountains with special mountaineering picks, just like mountaineers.
Although it is a bear, it is very polite. If pedestrians pass by it, it will bow to greet them, and people will respond accordingly.
In line with the principle of respecting living things, Orlan also returned the favor, but not all animals were so friendly.
There are several white shadows in the snow, ready to move towards this side. This is a creature called Labang.
Although it is a rabbit, it is more dangerous than a picnic bear.
As a vicious carnivorous rabbit, Labang has the agility of a rabbit and the physique of a bear, and often attacks prey in groups.
However, these people who fell from the sky did not seem to be easy to deal with, so the Labans just hid in the snow and observed. In the end, they were scared away by the electric current released by Kate.
"Master, what should we do? Should we just rob or do something else?"
"Abu, things haven't come to that point yet. Of course, we should go and have a good chat with the king here first, but where exactly did the bear send us to?"
There is still a little problem with Xiong's specific positioning. He can guarantee to send people to the island he has been to, but he is not sure which area of the island it is, so there is a certain error.
Judging from the surrounding terrain, this is clearly a snowy mountain.
"I remember the Drum Kingdom's castle is on the mountain. Anyway, let's go up and take a look first."
Then Orlan made another phone call and asked the person he had sent to the Drum Kingdom where he had seen the fruit.
"Your Majesty Oran, you've arrived so soon?"
"That's not important. How's the fruit?"
"Still in the warehouse. I got the warehouse manager drunk. The news probably hasn't been reported yet."
"Very good, well done. When you get back, you can go work for Ginny's intelligence department."
Orlan did not abolish all official positions. The bionic people only work at many key nodes, and apart from the top management, not many people know that they are actually bionic people.
The extra positions are specially reserved for ordinary people to be upward channels. People must have a goal to strive for. If all the motivation is gone, the country will not be able to develop well.
Judging from the situation of this expatriate, he still has certain ability to work in the intelligence department.
However, on the way to the castle, Orlan met an old blonde woman, an old woman in the literal sense.
She is Dr. Gureva, a 117-year-old woman who is also good at medicine. She is Chopper's "adoptive mother" and teacher.
After all, Shiruluk is a real mediocre doctor. If it weren't for Guleva, Chopper would never have learned those medical skills.
But at this point in time, let alone Chopper, according to the biological customs of reindeer, Chopper's grandparents may not have been born yet.
"Hey, isn't this the King? Are you visiting here again?
Why, are you interested in the secret of eternal youth?"
This was not Orlan's first time in the Drum Kingdom, nor was it his first time meeting Gulewa.
He had invited Gulewa at the beginning, but was rejected.
If Kulokas was unable to get away because of the whale Lab, then Guleva simply didn't want to go. With her slightly eccentric personality, she had no intention of working for others.
"No, and I think your secret to staying young might not be as good as mine. Do you want to guess how old I am this year?"
"Tsk, boring, forget it, you guys have more secrets than a woman like me."
Looking at the appearance of Kate and Oran, Guleva returned to her residence with the plum wine she had just bought. These two people had not changed much compared to a few years ago, and the reason was beyond Guleva's comprehension.
As for why there were two people, the footprints on the snow were enough to explain everything. After receiving more specific information, Absalom activated the transparent fruit and left here to make other preparations.
"King Sidiliel, long time no see."
In the castle of the Drum Kingdom, Orlan was warmly welcomed by Dalton, who was then the captain of the Drum Kingdom's guard. Oran had been here several times in the past few years and was also very familiar with him.
Before setting off, Orlan had already communicated with the king of the Drum Kingdom. It would be a bit rude to suddenly show up at someone else's door.
"Please follow me. His Majesty the King is waiting for you."
"It's too bitter! These medicines are too bitter, you are all quacks! Father, drive these guys away! Their level is too poor!!"
As soon as he reached the door of the banquet hall, Orlan heard a loud noise and the sound of plates being broken, and finally several doctors were thrown out of the room.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, King Sidilir."
Inside the open door, the king of the Drum Kingdom looked a little embarrassed, as if he didn't want this scene to be seen by outsiders.
Orlan is just the king of a non-member state and has no legal rights in this sea. Logically, the Drum Kingdom does not need to adopt this attitude, but the problem is that this non-member state is a little different.
As the king of a kingdom, it is impossible for him not to pay attention to the situation outside.
He still remembered vividly how Iron Oz defeated San Juan Wolf a few years ago. It was not good news for the Drum Kingdom that its neighboring country had such a terrifying weapon.
The most crucial thing is that for some reason, the World Government actually tacitly allowed this non-member country to possess such dangerous weapons.
With enough force, even if many things are against the law, it will not affect communication.
If one day Orlan does something mentally unstable and the weapon he controls attacks us, even if the navy can deal with it afterwards, the Drum Kingdom will be destroyed.
Due to their relationship in the medical industry, the two countries get along quite well, so the Drum Kingdom has always treated Orlan as a real king.
The child who was making a big fuss just now was Prince Wapol of the Drum Kingdom. Because the king of the Drum Kingdom had a son in his old age, he doted on this son very much, which led to Wapol acting recklessly in his daily life.
Although the king was aware of the impact of his indulgence, he could not change it.
"It's okay, your son is still as cute as before."
Yes, cute, this is the image of Wapol in Oran's mind.
Before Wapol was born, the Drum Kingdom was still very unified. Even though Orlan offered high salaries to lure people, he didn't attract many.
The number of doctors poached has increased recently, not only because of the increase in Piltover's national strength, but also because of Wapol's instigation.
But as Wapol grew older, things improved in Oran.
Wapol is five years old this year. Because of the old king's indulgence, he is very willful. He will act like a spoiled child and punish the people below him for some trivial matters.
The old king always reminded himself that he should not dote on Wapol so much, but after seeing Wapol crying, he couldn't help but soften his heart.
So much so that I often have a headache afterwards but can't solve it.
The king could not be cruel to his own offspring, so the ones who were affected were naturally the ordinary citizens. Under Wapol's crying, some people were banned from practicing medicine for some trivial matters.
Having lost their livelihood, they had to find other ways, and the people Orlan arranged here played their role and successfully recruited those experienced people to Piltover.
In a sense, having such a royal family in a neighboring country is also a good thing for its development.
"You're welcome, Wapol. Go play outside for a while while your father receives the guests."
This sentence did not satisfy Wapol. At this moment, Wapol was in a state of serious self-centeredness. He snorted coldly and walked outside.
The old king just laughed, passed the matter over, and talked about Roger.
This was a common topic among the royal families of all countries during this period. After all, such a sentence had a huge impact on the sea.
Feeling very unhappy, Wapol went to the treasure house of the Drum Kingdom.
"Hey! Open the door!"
"Prince Wapol, but here."
"I command you to open the gate! This country belongs to our family, and everything in the treasury belongs to me! If you don't obey me, I will have my father drive you back to the village at the foot of the mountain!"
At Wapol's insistence, the warehouse guard had no choice but to open the door and let Wapol in.
"Your Highness, those are things that have not been registered yet. Please don't mess them up."
It is obvious that the guards of this warehouse do not know how to deal with naughty children, especially those who are in a superior position.
The more you forbid these creatures from doing something, the more they will insist on doing it.
Wapol, who had been just wandering around here with nothing to do, suddenly became interested. He ordered several guards to carry the boxes outside and began to rummage through them at will.
Soon, a small treasure chest appeared in his hand. When Wapol opened it, a blue-purple fruit lay quietly on the mat inside.
There are strange patterns on the fruit, and even a mark that looks like a mouth.
"What is this? Did father hide delicious food here?"
At this time, Wapol didn't know what a devil fruit was. He just thought it was delicious. But when he was playing with the fruit in his hand, he suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.
"Damn it, who dares to trip me!"
He clearly didn't move, but he fell down inexplicably.
But before Wapol could find the real culprit, he saw that the fruit seemed to have grown legs and rolled to the side at high speed along the ground.
