Chapter 257

However, the next scene made everyone gasp in surprise.

After slipping away from everyone's sight, the Hanny before them suddenly became seductive.

Then, their face changed rapidly, revealing the face of Mr. 2.

【Holy crap, is that really how it is!】

【What kind of wild imagination is this? I never would have thought of that!】

【So the Vice Warden was Mr. 2 in disguise; that clears all three of them of suspicion!】

【From the Warden's perspective, two of them are dead and one has fled to the third underground level, so no one will hunt them down wherever they go next!】

【Incredible, absolutely incredible, they actually used their brains!】

【Mr. 2's ability is so useful, it's just too versatile!】

This plot twist caught everyone off guard, and they couldn't help but applaud.

It effectively bought them a brief moment to shake off all their pursuers.

"Finally saved! Let's run, no one should be paying attention to us now!"

Mr. 3 wore a triumphant smile.

It really hadn't been easy.

But now, he was about to become the next legend.

Having escaped the Great Imperial Prison, he believed his reputation in the martial arts world would surely reach new heights.

"No, we have to go save Luffy!"

Mr. 2's words plunged Mr. 3 back into the abyss.

Seeing that this damn eunuch was still so stubborn, Mr. 3 felt his scalp tingle.

"Are you crazy? How are we going to save him? With what?"

"You'll only get everyone killed!"

"I'm not going!"

"If you're not going, then go die right now! In everyone's eyes, you two are already dead anyway!"

The sudden sharpness in Mr. 2's demeanor reminded everyone of his former identity.

That's right, don't be fooled by the sentimental Mr. 2 now.

Everyone had forgotten that he used to be part of an assassin organization.

And at the escort agency, he was specifically responsible for infiltration and special operations.

This was practically moral blackmail, but no one blamed him.

After all, their lives were saved by him; what's wrong with him asking for a favor?

"I'm curious, are you really that close to him?"

"As far as I know, you've only met the Straw Hat crew a few times!"

Mr. 3 was speechless. Please, big brother, we used to be colleagues, didn't we?

"How can friendship be judged by time!"

Mr. 2's words immediately shut them both up.

The three of them fell into silence.

"This guy Mailun is a notorious figure in the martial arts world; at least, I've never heard of anyone who can cure his poison!"

At this moment, Buggy also looked serious.

Countless martial arts heroes had fallen at the hands of this man over the years.

And before they died, they suffered fates worse than death.

Mr. 2 also fell silent. He didn't even know if Wang Luffy was still alive.

But even if he were dead, he had to see the body and carry it out.

"I've got it, I know someone!"

"He will definitely be able to save Luffy!"

Seeming to have thought of something, Mr. 2's eyes suddenly lit up, and he wore a look of adoration.

"Have you two heard of this legend within the Great Imperial Prison?"

Both of them looked confused, but eventually, the well-informed Buggy had some inkling.

"Are you talking about that last member of the Eunuch Faction? The one who angered the Imperial Clan and was locked in the prison..."

"Exactly, the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old!"

"Ivankov!"

As Mr. 2 spoke, the adoration in his eyes was undisguised.

That was the pinnacle of their kind. The legendary greatest member of the Eunuch Faction!

"Does that person really exist? I've only heard the legends!"

Whether they had heard of him or not, Mr. 3 didn't know; he just wanted to run.

Mr. 2 didn't care about them and led the two of them off.

This king among eunuchs was locked away in the hidden Extreme Cold Hell.

With the Vice Warden's face, moving around was very convenient.

One could only regret not discovering this sooner.

But as soon as they entered the Extreme Cold Hell, the three of them couldn't hold on.

Although they were mentally prepared, the bitter cold was still more than the three of them could bear.

"The cold wind in here actually has the effect of sealing internal energy, how is that possible!"

Buggy said in disbelief.

"It is said that this Extreme Cold Hell contains the internal energy of the Commander, Shangguan Shangguan Shangguan Kuzan."

"Ordinary prisoners have their internal energy slowly worn away by the energy in this cold wind! It makes you feel this agility in the most extreme way."

Mr. 2 was already stuttering as he spoke.

Imagine standing naked, without any protection, in a minus 40-degree cold wind.

If the three of them weren't martial artists who trained regularly, they probably would have frozen to death in an instant.

But having lost the protection of their internal energy, the three of them could barely take a step.

Every step taken was extremely arduous.

The prisoners here lived a life worse than death every day. Because of their martial arts training, they wouldn't freeze to death immediately, but this pain had to be endured in full.

Everyone tried their best to stay in place, curling into a ball, attempting to gain a sliver of warmth.

But Mr. 2 had to keep moving forward.

His eyelashes, tears, and snot had all frozen into ice cubes.

Yet his footsteps did not stop.

The audience watching this scene was also moved.

【Honestly, if Mr. 2 gave up now, I wouldn't blame him!】

【How many times have they even met? It's really not worth it!】

【I think Mr. 2's character design is flawed. I know the author wants to create a loyal and righteous eunuch image, but doesn't this feel too abrupt?】

【Those who say it's abrupt haven't looked closely at the previous plot. Mr. 2's background is that of a cruel assassin, moody and very sensitive. Because he is a eunuch, he has never experienced true friendship.】

【It is precisely because of this paranoid personality that he cherishes this hard-won, true friendship so much.】

Thinking about it carefully, Wang Luffy is worth it.

Looking at it from another angle, if I were asked to be friends with a eunuch, I probably wouldn't be willing either.

But Wang Luffy really hung out with him.

Mr. 2 was still moving forward step by step, unaware that danger was approaching.

Several ferocious ice wolves slowly surrounded them.

If they were outside, these wolves would have been beaten into mincemeat by Mr. 2.

But now, let alone his long-practiced martial arts, even moving his arms was a difficult task.

Watching the wolves tear into them, Mr. 2 had no ability to fight back.

Many viewers couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Although there was no direct footage, the scraps of clothing and blood all over the ground proved the consequences.

One could only sigh that it's not easy being a good person.
