Chapter 1065 People Underground
Although the palace was nearby and Zoro had been here the night before, the surrounding environment seemed unfamiliar to him.
"Miranda got into the slave carriage and entered through this door. I witnessed it with my own eyes. I don't know anything about what happened afterwards."
The loan shark explained the whole thing in tears and told Miranda clearly that he had no control over what would happen after Miranda entered this door.
As a tax farmer at the bottom of the society, his only relationship with the royal family was monetary transactions. He gave most of his property to the royal family and kept a portion for himself as a reward for his hard work.
Why did the royal family need so many slaves over the years? And why were slaves only seen coming in but never leaving? In the eyes of the common people of the Kingdom of Lulucia, the royal palace was a man-eating devil's den.
The low-level tax farmers don't know the real inside story. Even if Sauron cuts off his head, he can only get the lies he made up before his death, but not the truth.
Zoro held up the Sandai Kitetsu, his movements casual yet with unquestionable majesty, and gently tapped the creditor's face with the blade.
Every slap made the creditor's heart tremble violently. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and his face turned as white as paper.
"Get out!" Zoro spat out a word coldly. The voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in the creditor's ears.
The creditor seemed to be under a spell of immobilization. He was stunned for a moment, and then he ran towards the street as if he was pardoned. He was afraid that if he ran too slowly, the pirate would change his mind and kill him.
The most important thing right now is to save people. Zoro didn't want to waste time with a bastard. He jumped onto the city wall and stood on the top of the wall overlooking the interior of the palace.
Zoro stood tall on the wall, the breeze blowing gently, blowing his dark green clothes.
He closed his eyes slightly, and the special power of Observation Haki spread rapidly from him like an invisible ripple, spreading into the palace.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and the strands of hair on his forehead swayed gently. In his perception, every corner of the palace gradually became clear.
The noise of the crowd and the patrolling footsteps of the guards were all transmitted into his brain for preliminary comparison and analysis, looking for Miranda's trace.
As his observation Haki continued to penetrate deeper into the palace, Zoro tried hard to distinguish Miranda's unique scent from the various scents.
She was a woman with a bad aura all over her. Miranda was full of negative energy and had left a deep impression on him during their previous interactions.
The searching time passed by minute by minute, but Zoro's search still made no obvious progress. The atmosphere in the palace was complicated and chaotic, interfering with his judgment.
But he was not discouraged at all. He still used his Observation Haki to move around the palace in an orderly manner, passing through one room after another.
Finally, in a dark corner deep in the palace, Zoro caught that familiar and faint breath.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, telling him that he had found it!
"It's such a dirty place. I've never seen people so bad."
Although Miranda's breath was weak, it was enough for Zoro to determine her location. There were many other people's breaths around the woman. When a group of slaves with weak breaths gathered together, nothing good would ever happen.
The location of Green Algae Head Station was too conspicuous and was soon discovered by the guards in the palace. Whistles began to sound one after another.
The news of the invasion of foreign pirates quickly spread within the palace. Moreover, they were well-known pirates, and Zoro's facial features were not difficult to recognize.
Before Zoro could take action to rescue the people, a team of more than a dozen musketeers were urgently recruited. They suddenly appeared under the city wall, began to line up with their guns raised, and aimed their guns at the pirates.
As guards using cold weapons continued to recruit more soldiers, a leading general recognized the pirate's identity and called out, "Zoro of the Straw Hat Pirates, I thought you were dead. Why did you show up in the Kingdom of Lulucia?!"
Since the Battle of Marineford, the Straw Hat Pirates have been missing for many years, but the Navy's bounty order has not been withdrawn.
For a general guarding the royal palace, recognizing pirates with names is a basic skill for the job, so it is important to have this kind of vision.
"My friend was captured by you. Since you don't want to give it to me, I can only take it back myself."
Dozens of cold gun muzzles were pointed at Sauron. The king's guards had unfriendly looks, and their eyes were full of ferocity and vigilance. As long as Sauron made the slightest movement, they would shoot without hesitation.
"Fire!"
Following the order, the king's guards opened fire immediately, and instantly bullets whizzed towards Sauron like raindrops.
At the moment the bullet was fired, Zoro moved slightly and leaned forward. The sword in his hand was drawn out like lightning, and a sharp sword slash burst out from the blade.
The sword was drawn and slashed at everyone present with devastating force. The king's guards, who were originally very aggressive, were completely unable to resist this powerful sword energy.
Wherever the sword energy passed, the guards were chopped to the ground, screaming in agony, and the cold and hot weapons in their hands were broken into two.
The king's guards, who had just been armed to the teeth, now lay on the ground in a mess, having lost their combat effectiveness.
And Zoro still stood firmly in the same place, looking at the place he had just discovered. This place was really a den of filth and Miranda's current situation could not be delayed any longer.
"It's still more free to be a pirate"
In the palace filled with tension, Zoro jumped high into the air with a nimble figure like an eagle.
He was filled with surging momentum, and the sharp blade in his hand was flashing a cold light under the sunlight. At this moment, his eyes were firm and sharp as he stared at the ground below, brewing a fatal blow.
"Itsaurus: Great Chenhan!" Zoro roared, his arm muscles bulged instantly, and he swung the long sword in his hand with all his strength.
An extremely powerful slashing wave, with the momentum of creating the world, rushed down from top to bottom like a raging torrent.
Wherever the slashing wave passed, the air was violently torn apart, making a piercing scream. This horrifying force heavily hit the ground of the palace.
In an instant, the earth shook violently, soil and rocks flew everywhere, and the buildings on the ground suffered devastating damage. The strong impact force made the earth like fragile paper, which was easily penetrated.
With a dull thud, a huge gap appeared on the ground of the palace. The crack continued to spread in all directions, like a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open.
The cut soil and stones rolled to the side, gradually revealing a hollow underground. It seemed that the underground of the palace had been dug out since some time ago.
A foul smell suddenly emerged from the ground, and an eerie atmosphere filled the air. The biggest secret of the Kingdom of Lulucia is hidden here.
Everyone around was shocked by Zoro's powerful strength. Looking at the cracked earth, their faces were filled with amazement and awe.
Zoro, who was in the air, did not stop. After briefly gaining momentum in the air, his figure shot directly into the dark and bottomless underground palace.
Miranda and the group of slaves are all underground. The ugly true face of King Sezi's family will be revealed in the bottomless underground.
