Chapter 56: The Slaver King’s War Preparations
The Kingdom of Thutmose, as mentioned before, is a desert country, but it is different from Arabasta because it is located in the South Blue and has normal seasonal changes, and its most beautiful season is winter.
In winter, the entire island will be covered with snowflakes, covering the golden sand sea with a layer of ice and snow. The mixed scene of white and gold gives people a visual beauty.
The entire kingdom, although it is a medium-sized island, has only one city, called Shabak, or Sand City.
The vastness of the territory, the scarcity of inhabitants and the desert environment gave the impression of weakness and poverty. Even the pirates passing by didn't bother to stop, considering it a waste of time.
But what the world doesn't know is that beneath the surface capital of Shabak, there is an extremely wide underground space. Endless buildings shone with yellow lights, weaving screams, cries, moans and lamentations in the air, impregnated with despair and suffering.
Soldiers with green necklaces, dressed in white tunics, carrying whips, axes, spears or rifles, patrolled everywhere. Their expressionless faces gave them a terrifying appearance.
Looking into the distance, you can see the tallest and eye-catching pyramid building, which is the real palace of the Kingdom of Thutmose.
Just now, King Taklama, the famous 'Slaver King' in the underworld, has received news that the Navy's fleet is about to capture him.
Sitting on the golden throne, he showed no reaction. The senior officials under him were also unable to interpret the expression of this monarch.
Because King Taklama wears a golden mask on his face, and his clothes are in a typical pharaonic style, with white robes, wide neck ornaments and a golden scepter in his hand.
In the great stone hall stood four great officials dressed in white, with two sturdy soldiers guarding on either side.
