After hearing this, William turned his head and glanced at Cabbage, who was half-kneeling, "Where are the people?"
"All alive, Your Highness."
Only then did Cabbage dare to raise his head and said respectfully, "They are all in cold storage No. 2. They haven't been processed yet, and the warship is basically intact."
"Then let's go." William ordered calmly, "Take this group of marines over and let everyone go."
"Take them there?"
Cabbage was stunned, "But in this case, the location of the cold storage is..."
"The stronghold on the Jewo Peninsula has been exposed."
William had no scruples about the navy being nearby and said with a smile:
"When this incident passes, this place will be abandoned. Alabasta's land is very vast, and there is nothing to regret. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood, Your Highness."
Cabbage glanced at Kizaru and nodded.
Kizaru and Gumir looked at each other, narrowed their eyes slightly, and remained silent.
…
Behind the cliff, in the deep valley.
Cabbage, which led Kizaru and his party to this place, suddenly stopped in front of a huge rock seven or eight meters high.
This huge rock is no different from other rocks in the valley. It is integrated with the mountain range, and there is nothing strange about it from the outside.
But after Cabbage stood still, an iron pipe like a speaking tube suddenly protruded from the top of the giant rock, and a ringing sound came from inside: "Secret signal?"
"Secret code, you are my mother!" Cabbage snorted coldly, "His Royal Highness William is here, open the door!"
"oh."
The voice in the iron pipe suddenly became more serious, and the microphone retracted. After a moment, the huge rock suddenly cracked from the middle, revealing the tall iron gate inside.
A strong man four meters tall stood at the door with a simple and honest face. When he saw William, he scratched his head and said with a silly smile:
"I thought Cabbage was making fun of me, but I didn't expect that Your Highness William would actually come. You haven't come to see Babu for a long time."
"I've been very busy lately, so I really don't have time."
Facing this subordinate who seemed to be having a hard time with his brain, William showed that smile that made people feel like a spring breeze again, and said warmly:
"Open the door, Babu, and take me to see the navy who were imprisoned last night."
"Oh, okay."
The strong man named Babu nodded naively, then turned around, rolled up his sleeves, shouted angrily, and used his arm strength to pull open the two huge iron gates.
This strength was really amazing. Nuo Xia glanced at him in surprise and then noticed that the other person's arms were unusually thick and strong. They didn't look like what a four-meter-tall person should have. They were even comparable to Major General Bulma.
of the giant race.
Has he been transformed? Still a devil fruit user?
He frowned slightly, thinking in his mind.
After the iron gate was fully opened, the group of people followed the strong man through the narrow corridor and arrived at a huge room with an area of more than a thousand square meters.
The room was extremely empty, and there was an icy cold air coming from nowhere, and the overall temperature was probably around zero.
There are iron walls on all sides, and against the wall, there are hundreds of snow sculptures with vaguely human outlines placed in a row.
It was the navy soldiers under Bulma.
Having just been frozen for a night, these strong soldiers will naturally not lose their vitality because of this, and there are still signs of life in every one of them.
Even some of the captain officers had their eyes opened, and when they saw Kizaru appearing in front of them, their eyes suddenly showed surprise.
"It's all here."
Cabbage glanced at Kizaru and said coldly, "I sealed them in ice at that time and asked my men to carry them to the icehouse. Not even a single one was injured."
"Only your subordinate named Bulma has some strength and was not completely frozen by me. During the transportation, she took the opportunity to resist the sneak attack, so I had to take action to subdue her. Her injuries were a bit serious, but you can't blame me for that."
Kizaru was too lazy to look at her, and kept glancing back and forth among the ice sculptures. When he was sure that no one had died in the ice, he looked at William and said with a smile:
"Let this snowman lady thaw. Since there are indeed no casualties, I will forget about the past and just do everything according to your wishes, Your Highness."
"Very good, I just like to deal with smart people."
William smiled slightly and snapped his fingers. Cabbage behind him immediately understood, turned and walked to a certain place on the iron wall, lifted the outer glass cover, and revealed the console inside.
After tapping her fingertips and doing a few simple operations, she returned to William. At this time, everyone clearly felt that the temperature in the room was rising rapidly.
Not long ago it was below freezing, but within a few minutes it was in the early twenties.
The snow melted and water flowed everywhere. The naval soldiers who were frozen in ice gradually regained control of their bodies and moved their hands and feet.
"Let's go."
After waiting for a while and seeing that everyone was out of trouble, Kizaru glanced in a certain direction a few meters deep in the room intentionally or unintentionally. Finally, he turned around and took a deep look at William, "See you again in the future, Your Highness."
"Goodbye, Mr. Porusalino."
William smiled and put on his hat again, "Kale, see off my guests for me."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Cabbage bowed respectfully.
She was about to follow Kizaru and others out when she suddenly noticed that the black-haired boy who had spoken rudely to His Highness was standing in front of the console at some point, looking at the buttons above and pinching his chin, thoughtfully.
"What are you doing, kid?" She frowned, "Your commander is about to go out, why don't you follow him?"
"Nothing, I'm just a little curious about this device that can freely control the room temperature..."
Nuo Xia dealt with it half-seriously, but looked at the iron wall in the innermost part of the room, and said in a low voice:
"And I don't know if it's an illusion. The temperature in the room has obviously gone up, but I can still feel a faint air-conditioning coming from there..."
While saying this, his hand was already on a button on the top of the console.
"stop!"
Cabbage's expression suddenly changed, and the naive and strong man named Babu also roared and rushed like a bull, knocking Nuo Xia away.
But he was a step too late after all, the button had already been pressed.
When Nuo Xia was knocked back several meters, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded. Immediately in the stunned eyes of the navy soldiers, the inner iron wall, which was no different from the other walls, suddenly slowly separated from the middle.
.
call!
The cold breath blew towards my face, making everyone shiver.
And when the navy curiously took a few steps closer and looked around, they found that behind the iron wall was a huge secret room that was wider and more spacious than the room they were in now!
"My, my God..."
A young second lieutenant suddenly noticed something. His pupils shrank, his expression changed drastically, and he stretched out his trembling fingers: "Then, what are those!"
The rest of the people looked in the direction he pointed, and the next moment their expressions changed drastically, revealing expressions of incredible shock.
Ice coffin.
Thousands of ice coffins were arranged densely like a honeycomb, hanging on the iron wall filled with cold air, making one's scalp numb.
Through the mist-filled glass coffin surface, one can vaguely see that in all the ice coffins, there are half-grown boys and girls, lying inside with their eyes closed, not knowing whether they are alive or dead.
