Punk Hazard, before Kaido's destruction and Akainu and Aokiji's duel, had a far grander architectural scale than Hitler had seen in anime and manga in his previous life.
The number of Marines stationed inside was also far greater than he had anticipated.
However, this was ultimately a top-secret location, impossible for outsiders to know about, so the World Government naturally hadn't dispatched high-level combat forces to guard it constantly.
"How could the Rocks Pirate Crew attack here?!"
"I don't know!"
"Quickly, send a distress call to the nearest G5 Branch!"
"We just tried to contact them! But for some reason, there's no response!"
"Could it be... Damn it! Quickly, send a distress call to the Headquarters!!"
"At the same time, first ensure the safety of the scientists! Get them all off the island! Then destroy the data!"
...The Rocks Pirate Crew's sudden attack caught Punk Hazard completely off guard. They had never imagined that one day pirates would actually invade them, and the entire island instantly fell into a state of panic.
Amidst the chaos, the Rocks Pirate Crew massacred and frantically searched for storage rooms and similar locations.
"Mama mamama! I found it!!"
Charlotte Linlin's exclamation attracted the attention of Kaido, who was closest to her. He quickly arrived and was astonished to find that the storage room Charlotte Linlin had opened was filled with gold and treasures.
"What, I thought you found the Frozen Giants."
"Mama mamama! As for the Frozen Giants, others can look for them, we prioritize stealing the treasures!"
Kaido thought about it and felt it made sense, so he and Charlotte Linlin began to pack up the treasures in the storage room.
"Haha! I found it!"
On the other side, Stussy, who was acting alone, also let out an exclamation similar to Charlotte Linlin's.
A large group of scientists in white coats instantly broke out in cold sweat as they saw the blonde beauty suddenly appear before them.
"Science Thief... Buckingham!"
"Quick! Move fast! We absolutely cannot let her get the data!"
Bang!
Stussy appeared next to several scientists as if teleporting, kicked one of them flying, then aimed her gun at another's head and fired directly, splattering blood.
After quickly killing all the scientists in the laboratory, Stussy began to organize the research data that hadn't been destroyed yet.
"Do you need help?"
"Do what? Haven't you already guessed?"
Hitler smiled and raised his head, pushing his palm forward, and several Holy Light tentacles instantly shot out.
Stussy had suffered a loss before and dared not be touched by these tentacles again. She swung her long legs and turned to run directly, showing no reluctance for the research data He hadn't had time to collect.
"Quite decisive."
Hitler smiled calmly, retracted the Holy Light tentacles that were destined not to catch her, and turned to sort through the documents in the laboratory.
"Well, no rush, you'll be my prey sooner or later!"
Licking his lips with his tongue, Hitler was already somewhat anticipating what Whitebeard's expression would be like once Stussy became his prey... "Found it!"
Whitebeard let out a slightly deep sigh.
"I didn't expect the Frozen Giants to actually exist!"
Ten minutes later.
All members of the Rocks Pirate Crew gathered around Whitebeard.
Before them was an open freezer.
The interior was dim, and cold air furiously poured out.
However, through the light shining in after the door opened, one could vaguely see.
The entire freezer space, from ceiling to floor, had countless prisoner corpses frozen, and most of them were of the Giant Race's height and build.
"Hey! Hitler ! Use your ability to go in and light it up!"
"I refuse! My ability isn't for use as a light bulb!"
"How about I teach you advanced Haki techniques when we get back?"
"Deal!!"
Hitler walked into the freezer, emitting Holy Light from his entire body, illuminating the entire freezer clearly.
The members of the Rocks Pirate Crew collectively groaned.
Except for Charlotte Linlin and Wang Zhi, who had already hidden by the side of the door, everyone else had pleasant blushes on their faces and arched their backs.
Rocks led the unaffected Whitebeard, Kaido, and Stussy into the cold storage, looking up at the countless frozen corpses on both sides of the cold storage aisle.
"Found it! It really is here!!"
Rocks was first shocked, then an endless joy surged within him.
"Hitler ! You've really helped me a great deal this time! Woa ha ha ha ha ha..."
"The legendary Great Hammer Battle Group, I've finally found it! Woa ha ha ha ha ha..."
Hitler , while maintaining the Holy Light to illuminate the freezer, mercilessly refuted Rocks.
"It's not entirely confirmed yet!"
"They are still just corpses for now. Whether they are the legendary Great Hammer Battle Group is still questionable."
Rocks waved his hand.
"No need to doubt! They are the Great Hammer Battle Group I'm looking for!"
Seeing Rocks's conviction, Hitler no longer tried to persuade him.
In fact, he also believed that this was the Great Hammer Battle Group Rocks was looking for.
After all, in his previous life, Oda rarely gave invalid information in special scenes.
The manga storyline had just entered the Giant Country arc before Hitler 's transmigration, so he wasn't clear what the Great Hammer Battle Group was, but since the Great Hammer Battle Group Rocks was looking for were Frozen Giants, then it was highly probable that these were the ones here at Punk Hazard.
"Now the problem is how to transport them back to Hachinosu Island."
Rocks's Pirate Crew ship was enormous; even a typical Marine flagship looked like a small boat next to it.
But the number of frozen Giants here was simply too great, well over a hundred, and among them were quite a few ancient Giants with heights of sixty to seventy meters.
"Hey! Shiki! I'll trouble you to use your ability to transport this cold storage back through the air!"
"I refuse! It's too tiring."
"You can take an extra share of the treasure when we get back!"
"Deal!!"
Shiki reached out and touched the floor, allowing the power of the Float-Float Fruit to permeate the entire cold storage, as well as the entire large building where the cold storage was located.
Rumble rumble rumble... Within the vast complex of buildings, a massive structure slowly rose from the ground.
Countless scientists who had not yet been killed, as well as those who had managed to board ships and escape to sea, simultaneously gasped at the sight.
"Oh no! That's the research institute where the cold storage is located!!"
"Are Rocks and his Pirate Crew trying to move the entire research institute?"
"Hey!! Look!!"
"What?!"
"Reinforcements have arrived! Haha! The reinforcements are here!!"
"Now the Rocks Pirate Crew is finished!!"
...When Rocks and his group emerged from the research institute, they saw a large fleet of Marine ships, which had almost completely surrounded Punk Hazard Island.
