Chapter 139 Misunderstanding Cleared Up, Those Who Obey Orders But Not Summons
"You two gentlemen from the Red Team, stop! And Erlang, stop too! It's a misunderstanding!"
Just as the fierce battle was raging, Taigong Wang's voice came from afar, and he finally arrived riding his Qilin.
However, the two were inseparable during the fierce battle, with Roger fighting desperately because he was worried about the safety of his Master and partner.
He encountered the competitive Yang, and for a moment he found it difficult to stop!
And just as this fierce battle was slightly affected by Taigong Wang's voice.
Blackbeard looked down at Yang Chuo, Luffy, and Roger, who had been successfully held back, and a sinister smile of triumph spread across his face.
"Hahaha—Hit me! Hit me to your heart's content!"
He growled at the count, "Quick! Now! Let's go!"
The count immediately unleashed the full power of shadow, causing the black mist to contract sharply and its speed to increase dramatically.
They fled in the opposite direction from Albana and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.
Taigong Wang forcefully intervened, using the God-Slaying Whip to release energy and separate the three people engaged in fierce combat, and urgently explained the situation.
"That's Blackbeard's trick! Yang is a friend, not an enemy! He's chasing Blackbeard!"
Meanwhile, Blackbeard and the Earl had already fled with Nami and Chopper, disappearing without a trace.
"What?! It's an illusion?!"
Luffy was stunned, staring at the empty sky, before realizing he had been tricked.
"Aaaaaah! That bastard Blackbeard!! Nami! Chopper!"
He was so angry that he yelled and roared angrily at the sky.
Roger sheathed his sword, his face grim. He looked at Yang Chuo, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said...
"That spearman is skilled! We were reckless just now and got tricked by that guy; it's my fault."
He was a bold and outspoken man who readily admitted his mistakes, but his eyes held an even stronger murderous intent towards the black-bearded man.
Yang Chuo also withdrew his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword and closed his Heavenly Eye. Although his expression remained cold, he nodded slightly in acceptance of Roger's apology.
He glanced in the direction where the black-bearded man had disappeared and said calmly.
"It's alright. That wicked lord is extremely cunning. Once this matter is settled, I will personally go and settle accounts with him."
Although he said that, Yang still remembered how Blackbeard had tricked him with illusions, causing the target to escape.
Luffy's simple yet burning fighting spirit, and Roger's bold, powerful, and courageous attitude in admitting his mistakes, also left some impression on him.
A misunderstanding caused by a trick led to Blackbeard's escape once again, but it also allowed the Red Team to see Yang Chuo, a powerful fighter.
He then had his first, less-than-pleasant but mutually respectful, encounter with Roger.
The mission to rescue Nami and Usopp has become more urgent and difficult.
Taiko-no-Wang briefly explained the current situation to them. After Luffy roared at the sky for a while, he suddenly turned around.
Those eyes, which were always full of sunshine and silliness, were now burning with unprecedented anxiety and anger.
"Zoro! Sanji! Usopp! And Bonney's father, they're still in the World Government's hands! We have to go save them!"
Roger pressed down on his shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"Calm down, kid. Albana is a den of thieves. The Five Elders, the Knights of God, and those Black Faction heroes are all there."
"Forced entry is not the solution."
Although he was also anxious, as a pirate king who had experienced countless storms, he knew that acting impulsively would only make the situation worse.
At this moment, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to Yang Chuo, who had just stopped fighting.
Yang Chuo was clad in silver armor, wielding a three-pointed, double-edged sword, and the divine mark on his forehead had disappeared.
But that sacred and inviolable aura still commands respect.
He naturally heard Luffy's words and realized that those people held captive by the so-called "World Government" were the companions of the man before him.
However, his situation was now somewhat awkward.
In terms of the summoning relationship, he came in response to Taikomochi's summons and should belong to the Black Faction, which is on the same side as the World Government.
It seems that Taigong Wang, my uncle, is also lurking on the side of the World Government with some kind of purpose.
But who is Yang?
The True Lord of the Pure Source Wonderful Way obeys orders but not decrees, attained sainthood in his physical body, was upright and unyielding, and valued righteousness above all else.
Although he came on the orders of his uncle, he was by no means someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong and was an accomplice to evil.
Blackbeard's despicable act of taking hostages and using trickery had already disgusted him, and if the World Government were to do the same, it would be far from the right thing to do.
Taigong Wang rode his Qilin (a mythical creature) and arrived gracefully, still with that same smiling face.
He glanced at Yang, then at the anxious Luffy and the composed Roger, and spoke.
"Erlang, it seems the situation is more complicated than we thought."
Yang nodded slightly, looking at Taigong Wang, his tone calm but with a hint of inquiry.
"Uncle-Master, what is the purpose of our journey? If it is for the righteous cause, detaining the innocent and coercing others is not the act of a hero."
His words clearly demonstrated his attitude.
He doesn't blindly follow orders just because of factional affiliation; he has his own sense of right and wrong and his own code of conduct.
Taigong Wang laughed and said, "Hehe, of course it's not to do anything despicable. However, the overall situation is like a game of chess, and sometimes we have to make a move."
"Nephew, now that you've shown yourself, come with me back to Albana to report. As for the Straw Hat Pirates' companions—"
His gaze swept over Luffy and Roger.
"The World Government is unlikely to harm them for the time being, after all, they are important bargaining chips."
These words were meant for Yang, but also for Luffy and Roger, carrying both reassurance and a hint of reminder.
With the hostage in hand, we are hesitant to act rashly.
Luffy was about to say something when Roger grabbed him.
Roger nodded to Taigong Wang.
"In that case, I would like to trouble you and this spearman to do what you can to help the brat's crew."
He said this to Taigong Wang, but his gaze was sincerely fixed on Yang.
He could tell that this newly arrived heroic spirit was of upright character.
Yang met Roger's gaze, remained silent for a moment, and then calmly said...
"If he is unharmed, I will not stand idly by and watch this bullying happen. However, if he seeks his own death, he cannot blame anyone else."
He meant that even if Zoro and the others resisted fiercely, he wouldn't blindly side with them.
But this is the best promise we can get right now.
"Thank you!" Roger said solemnly.
Although Luffy was still anxious, he knew that now was not the time to act recklessly. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"I will definitely rescue everyone! Absolutely!"
Taigong Wang smiled and said to Yang, "Nephew, let's go. There are still some things I need to report to my superiors."
His words had a hidden meaning.
Yang nodded, took one last look at Luffy and Roger, and then transformed into a golden light, flying towards the Albanian Palace along with Taigong Wang's Qilin.
Conference room at the Royal Palace of Albana.
The atmosphere remained tense. Shamrock had been moved to a quiet room to rest, where he was under the care of a special person.
Arjuna was bound and imprisoned by chains specially made by Taigong Wang, incorporating incantations.
Blackbeard's crew, along with Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and the unconscious Kuma, were imprisoned in the deep dungeons of the palace, under the close watch of the CPO and the Knights of God.
The Five Elders and Garin Saint did not look too good.
Blackbeard escaped, leaving behind Arjuna and most of the prisoners, but the escape of a dangerous individual and two hostages still left a hidden danger.
More importantly, the newly summoned heroic spirit Yang doesn't seem to be very obedient.
Just then, Taigong Wang and Yang returned.
All eyes instantly focused on Yang, especially on the gleaming three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand.
His overwhelming strength just now left a deep psychological scar on everyone.
"Taigong Wang, Lord Yang Chuo." The Environmental Martial God Jin Xing spoke first, his tone tinged with caution.
"What was the outcome of the pursuit?"
Taigong Wang sighed and shook his head.
"I'm ashamed to say that the black-bearded man was quite cunning. He used his shadow abilities to create illusions, causing a misunderstanding between Junior Nephew Yang and the Straw Hat Boy, and took the opportunity to escape. I only managed to save these two."
He shrugged, empty-handed, clearly having failed to save the person.
Upon hearing this, the Five Elders' expressions darkened even further.
Garin Sheng snorted coldly.
"Let them run away! We still have the main leverage!" Yang Chuo
He looked sharply at Yang Chuo.
"Why didn't you explain yourself immediately? Instead, you attacked him. If you had revealed your identity sooner, perhaps Blackbeard wouldn't have succeeded!"
"Or they could have gone all out and killed both the Straw Hat Pirates and Roger. Why did they return empty-handed?"
These words carried a clear sense of questioning and shifting blame.
Yang Jinbo glanced at Jia Linsheng with calm, unwavering eyes.
This caused Garin, a powerful member of the Knights of God, to feel an inexplicable pressure, and he was unable to continue speaking.
"When I was pursuing the enemy, I had no time to think about anything else." Yang Chuo's voice was calm but carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Besides, you're quite comfortable sitting here. If you're so inclined, why don't you go and chase after them yourselves?"
"In the end, if I hadn't intervened beforehand, you might have actually agreed to Blackbeard's demands. Now you're getting the benefit and acting innocent, it's truly laughable."
He shifted the responsibility back with a single sentence, making his meaning very clear.
Garin Sei's face flushed red, but he dared not actually retaliate.
The Five Elders also observed that this new Heroic Spirit was powerful and seemed to have quite a temper, making him difficult to control.
The scientifically defending war god Satan Saint quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Alright, let's leave that matter aside for now. Lord Yang's strength is exceptional, and his arrival is a great help to us."
"The most urgent task is to discuss how to deal with the Red Army and what to do with the prisoners."
He deliberately emphasized the word "disposal" a little more, as if he were testing the waters.
Yang Chuo frowned almost imperceptibly.
Taigong Wang immediately chimed in.
"Exactly, exactly. Those prisoners are of great importance and need to be carefully guarded. They may serve as important bargaining chips in negotiations with the Red Army. We must not neglect them or lose their lives, otherwise their value will be greatly diminished."
His words, seemingly made in consideration of the World Government, were actually a covert act of protecting people.
Yang glanced at Taigong Wang, said nothing, but tacitly agreed with his statement.
The five elders exchanged glances, temporarily suppressing some more radical ideas.
It seems that Yang is quite averse to the mistreatment of prisoners, so it's best not to provoke him for now.
"In that case, keep a close watch on them for now," Venus finally ordered.
"Your Excellency Taigong Wang and Your Excellency Yang Chuo, we will need your strong support in dealing with the Red Team next."
"It's my duty." Taigong Wang agreed with a smile, while Yang Ze simply gave a faint "hmm" in response.
His gaze seemed to casually sweep across the direction of the dungeon. Although his Heavenly Eye was not activated, his powerful perception had already allowed him to roughly pinpoint the location and condition of Zoro and the others.
He stayed here both on his uncle's orders and to monitor the World Government to ensure they wouldn't take any excessive actions against the hostages.
At the same time, he was also observing what this so-called world government, and the vague yet powerful entity behind it, truly intended to do.
The game in Alabasta has become even more unpredictable with the addition of Yang, a heavyweight piece with a delicate position.
The black team is not a monolithic entity, and the red team faces unprecedented difficulties in rescuing members.
An even bigger storm is brewing.
