With a huge roar, the ceiling of the auction room was cut through again.
Windsor Cabbage's figure suddenly fell from the sky, smashing several sofa seats into pieces.
"puff!"
She spat out a large mouthful of blood, clutched her chest and raised her head with difficulty, looking at Kizaru as he walked slowly in disbelief.
How could this guy be so strong?
It's not like she hasn't fought against admiral-level enemies before. A few years ago, she even defeated one with her own hands in a duel.
But compared to the man in front of me, those people's strength is not at the same level at all.
How long had it been since I had fought with the opponent? It seemed like only ten minutes had passed?
Was he defeated so completely?
"The speed is too slow, the physical skills are not good, and the strength is average."
Kizaru walked forward step by step, raised his fingertips, and said with some disappointment, "I originally had some expectations for Rocks' crew, but I didn't expect it to be this high..."
"That's it for now, Windsor Cabbage, see you in Impel Down..."
Buzz!
The golden laser shot out and went straight to Cabbage's chest.
The latter's eyes showed unwillingness, and she was struggling to avoid turning into elements. However, at this moment, countless magnificent pale pink petals suddenly appeared in front of her, forming a thick and tough flower wall, intercepting the golden light.
"Um?"
Kizaru raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then looked up as if he was conscious.
In the hole in the ceiling, a handsome man with long blue hair was squatting there, smiling and taking off his hat, stroking his chest as a gesture.
"We meet again, Mr. Porusalino."
Seeing this person, Kizaru narrowed his eyes slightly, while Cabbage's face showed a look of surprise, and he couldn't help shouting: "Your Highness!"
The person coming was none other than William.
He turned over and jumped from the top of the cliff, landing gracefully on the ground of the auction house, right between Kizaru and Cabbage.
"What a surprise, Your Highness, I thought you should go to the royal capital after leaving Rapeseed Flower Port..."
Kizaru first bowed slightly to William, then raised his head, stared at the latter and said slowly, "How could you appear here at such a time?"
"I can't help it. I just got the news not long ago. Although it's a bit hard, I still have to rush here."
William stretched out a hand and rubbed Cabbage's head as if stroking a puppy. The latter's cheeks suddenly turned red and he closed his eyes with an expression of enjoyment.
"The people under my command are so ignorant that when I was attending my mother's birthday party, they attacked the Navy without consent and even treated Major General Bulma as an auction item. I'm really sorry."
He glanced at Bulma who was still unconscious on the stage, then looked around at the surrounding ruins, and sighed:
"But my favorite auction house has been destroyed like this by your G2 branch. How about we call it a day and settle it here? I don't want to see my cherished cadres taken to a place like Impel Down City like this."
…”
"Your Highness..."
As soon as Cabbage showed an moved expression, she saw William glance at her coldly. She suddenly woke up and said in panic:
"After the operation last night, I contacted you as soon as possible to report it, but... your bodyguard said that you were drunk and unconscious, and there was no way to wake you up..."
"So it's my fault?"
William looked at her with a smile, "It caused such a big trouble, but I only got the news three hours ago that Rapeseed Flower Port is far away from here. You should know that in a ghost place like Alabasta, riding a bicycle
It’s hard work for a camel to travel..."
"No, Your Highness, it's all my fault..." Cabbage looked pale and lowered his head, not daring to argue any more.
"I see."
Kizaru, who had been watching the two of them coldly, finally sighed and spoke quietly:
"The Windsor family and the cliff-top auction house are actually just superficial covers. The real controller behind the underground illegal arms dealer that has been active in the nearby waters is your highness, right?"
"You can say that, but you can't say that."
William tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled.
"Can I not be the Riddler, Your Highness the Prince?" Nuo Xia's voice suddenly came from the side, "If you have something to say, just say it, and if you have something to say, let it go."
"..." The charming smile on William's face froze. He turned to look at Nuo Xia and frowned, "I'm talking to your commander. In this situation, it's not the turn of a nobody like you to speak.
Bar?"
"I'm a straightforward person. Sorry, please continue."
Nuo Xia shrugged indifferently. He looked at Kizaru and found that the latter secretly gave him a thumbs up. When William turned around, he returned to his respectful look with a smile on his face.
"The auction house, the Windsor family, and arms suppliers, these are all my things, yes, but the word illegal cannot be mentioned..."
William suppressed his anger for the time being, looked at Kizaru, and said expressionlessly:
"This is under the rule of the Kingdom of Alabasta. What is legal and what is illegal is not your turn as a small naval lieutenant general to define."
"Or to put it bluntly, everything on the Jevo Peninsula is illegal, but as long as it is a business done by me, Naferutali William, it must be legal, do you understand?"
This arrogant tone instantly attracted the angry glares of many marines, while Kizaru narrowed his eyes slightly and had no answer.
He could not refute, nor could he refute.
Because this statement is completely correct, even considering the identity of the other party who is half a Celestial Dragon.
Even if this so-called "business" involves arms trade and slave trading, even if this so-called "business" is not limited to Alabasta itself, but extends its hands to the surrounding seas...
Their navy still has no power to prevent the seizure.
"It seems you are quite a sensible person."
William saw his reaction in his eyes, and the smile returned to his face:
"Then let's reconsider what I said before. Your navy will stop here, and I won't hold you accountable for destroying my industry. How about that?"
"Lieutenant General!"
The anxious shouts of his subordinates could be heard all around.
Nuo Xia also retracted the sword blade and stared at Kizaru from afar without moving.
But under the focus of countless eyes, Kizaru was silent for a long time, and finally said those two words: "Okay."
“A smart choice.”
William smiled and snapped his fingers, showing his white and neat teeth.
"Mr. Porusalino!"
"Commander!"
"How could you..."
Disappointment, unwillingness, and anger spread among the navy soldiers.
As if Kizaru didn't notice it, he looked at William calmly:
"The ones frozen by your snowman lady are not only Rear Admiral Bulma, but also hundreds of naval soldiers and a standard warship of this department. Where are they?"
