“That old dog Capone Bege ran too fast. By the time I arrived and discovered the secret passage under the monastery, it was too late. The entrance to the passage had been blown up, and that guy had probably already escaped.”
Seeing that Yang Ming did not express his opinion, Qingjiao, fearing that the ruthless Governor of the West Sea would take his anger out on his good-for-nothing grandson, quickly added:
"The Capone gang has been operating in the Kingdom of Troy for a long time, and Capone Bege is clearly well-prepared. If we want to capture Capone Bege alive next time, we'll probably have to be very thorough in our preparations."
Yang Ming neither confirmed nor denied the answers given by Qingjiao and Lao Cai.
Although Qingjiao and the other seven pillars had joined Yang Ming's ranks under his coercion and enticement, their relationship was not entirely one of superior and subordinate; it was more like an alliance.
Yang Ming needs the Eight Treasures Navy to radiate influence throughout the Western Sea, using the Flower Kingdom as its core, and ultimately to rule the Western Sea.
The Eight Treasures Navy also needs Yang Ming so that the Flower Kingdom can join the ranks of the top countries in the West Sea.
Both sides have needs and desires.
For this reason, Yang Ming did not demand as much from his subordinates as he did from them; all he needed was for the Eight Treasures Navy to serve him.
Yang Ming stood there, silently closing his eyes.
Enel was able to expand his sensory range by combining the Rumble-Rumble Fruit with Observation Haki. Yang Ming now also possesses the power of thunder, so he can naturally learn from him and copy his methods.
Thin arcs of azure electricity, barely perceptible to the naked eye, spread across the ground. The area covered by Observation Haki rapidly expanded, allowing the user to sense the distribution of soil and the composition of biological communities underground, and even detect several hidden passages beneath the monastery.
Old Cai was careless. He only discovered one of the secret passages with its entrance blown off, and mistakenly thought that Capone Begi had escaped through this passage.
Little did they know, Capone Begi was a cunning man. He used this illusion to deceive his pursuers, but in reality, he was using a secret passage to escape.
Capone Bege, recognized as the godfather by members of the West Coast Mafia, is clearly a ruthless figure well-versed in the Thirty-Six Stratagems.
In contrast, Lao Cai is all brawn and no brains, and he was completely fooled without even realizing it.
Seeing Yang Ming standing motionless for a long time, Lao Cai felt a surge of unease and whispered to Qingjiao:
"Grandfather, what exactly is the Governor doing?"
Green Pepper stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"The Governor was using Observation Haki to sense Capone Bege's whereabouts."
"This...this can't be right, can it?" Old Cai looked hesitant. "I've also trained in Observation Haki. Being able to cover a range of twenty meters around me is already quite difficult. Right now, Capone Bege might already be more than five hundred meters away, and he's in a secret underground passage that's unknown how deep, with layers of soil and rocks blocking the way. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to find him at all, right?"
Green Pepper glanced sideways at his good-for-nothing grandson, and said with a look of utter disappointment:
"The Governor is a dragon among men, how could we, who are like frogs in a well, possibly imagine him?"
Witt and Gotti, two Capone gang leaders, were shackled and held down by naval soldiers, overhearing the grandfather and grandson's conversation.
Witt's mouth stretched wide to the sides, revealing a long, serpentine tongue, and he let out a sinister, grating laugh.
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"
"This Governor of the Western Sea is only a ten-year-old boy, yet you Eight Treasures Navy treat him like a god. As a member of the Western Sea, I am ashamed of you!"
"You think he's tracking down the Godfather? Wrong, terribly wrong! He's completely helpless right now, hahaha..."
When Yang Ming slowly opened his eyes, Witt's laughter stopped abruptly, as if someone had grabbed his throat.
"found it!"
A glint of light flashed in Yang Ming's eyes. After his tireless search, he finally found Capone Begi's figure in the underground passage.
Witt and Gorty were initially incredulous until Yang Ming gripped the hilt of his Zanpakuto tightly with both hands.
"My greatsword is already itching for a strike!"
Flames and lightning coiled around the blade, and Yang Ming, like a war god emerging from mythology, slashed down along the death line formed by all things, splitting the earth in two.
Chapter 184 Capone Bege: I just want to be beaten to death by everyone here.
The earth has cracked open!
Seeing the enormous knife mark that had cleaved the entire monastery in two, even splitting the earth in two and leaving a trench hundreds of meters long and wide enough for a person to crawl through, and even clearly revealing the secret passage hidden beneath the monastery, everyone present was utterly horrified.
Vittor and Gotti, two Capone gang leaders, had never seen anything like this before.
Fear and unease haunted them like a nightmare. Coupled with the serious injuries they had sustained in the previous battle, the double blow to their physical and mental health caused them to faint.
Seeing the foul-mouthed Victor unconscious, Old Cai smacked his lips, seemingly wanting to say something, but lacking in refinement, he could only utter:
"Fuck!"
Ignoring everyone's surprise, Yang Ming instructed Tina to stay on the surface to wipe out the remnants of the Capone gang and those corrupt nobles who were exploiting the people. Then, he took Shiryu of the Rain and Fujitora Issho and jumped into the ground crevice, landing in a narrow underground passage.
Following Capone Bege's route, the three of them ran wildly.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from League of Legends. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"
"Yes!"
In Yang Ming's line of sight, a lottery wheel that was invisible to others gradually appeared, divided into four sections: normal skills, hero skills, equipment and items, and hero skins.
Common skills: Barrier, Cleanse, Insight, Ignite, Weakness, Blink, Ghost Step, Heal, Clarity, Guardian, Crossbow, Retribution, Mark, Teleport.
Hero Abilities: Shattering Flame, Lava Shield, Alpha Strike, Meditation, Wuju Style, Void Blade, Energy Pulse, Void Sphere...
Equipment and items: Hextech Belt, Righteous Glory, Twin Shadows, Trinity Force, Boots of Speed...
Hero Skins: Future Warrior, Steel Wings, Lu Bu (Fengxian), Champion's Blade...
【Darkfire】: After casting 4 skills, your next damaging skill will stun for up to 1.75 seconds.
While Yang Ming was taking stock of his gains, Capone Begi finally managed to get up from the ground in a disheveled state.
Throughout the narrow underground passage, loose stones could be seen everywhere, and some unlucky souls even had their heads smashed by falling stones from above, lying in a pool of blood.
"What... just happened?"
Capone Becky felt a ray of sunlight fall on his head, and just as he was wondering why there was sunlight below, he suddenly looked up.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but you'll be shocked when you look at it.
When Capone Becky saw the geological layer above him being artificially cut open, revealing a narrow gap, his jaw nearly dropped to the ground. He could only take a deep drag on his cigar to calm himself down.
Capone Bege is not a person without knowledge. To gain the appreciation of Shiki the Golden Lion and become Shiki the Golden Lion's pawn in his schemes for the West Blue, Capone Bege must have witnessed Shiki the Golden Lion's strength.
When he saw the slash mark, Capone Bege's first thought was:
"Could it be that the old man has arrived?"
Caponebe quickly dismissed the idea.
He knew that since escaping from prison, Shiki the Golden Lion had been lying low in his hometown in the West Blue, biding his time in order to accumulate strength, return to the Grand Line, and reclaim everything he had lost.
Before achieving this goal, Shiki the Golden Lion will absolutely not show himself easily, so as to avoid alerting the enemy and being subjected to a strong encirclement and suppression by the Marine Headquarters.
In other words, someone else was able to leave this astonishing slash mark.
"Besides the old man, who else in the entire West Sea has this kind of strength?"
"Could it be that……"
Caponebeki couldn't help but feel apprehensive about the very idea he had in his mind.
If his guess is correct, the Governor of the Western Sea is only ten years old now, yet he already possesses such formidable strength. When he comes of age, will he turn the world upside down?
Ignoring everything else, even his remaining subordinates, Capone Bege ran straight into the depths of the secret passage. He knew that once he left this passage, he would be able to reach a hidden dock on the coast, where boats were already prepared. As long as he boarded a boat, he could leave this place of trouble.
Unfortunately, ideals are beautiful, but reality is harsh.
Capone Begi had only walked two or three hundred meters when he heard screams of agony coming from behind him.
A short while later, a whooshing sound came from behind.
Capone Bege seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Before Shiryu of the Rain's slash could even arrive, he dodged to the side as if he had foreseen it, thanks to the warning of his Observation Haki. He rolled over and narrowly missed the sharp blade.
Pressing down his black round cap, Capone Becky looked up and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, three figures gradually approached.
The man on the far left, dressed in a jet-black prison warden uniform, exuded an aura of a demon that made people feel uneasy from afar. The famous sword Thunderstorm in his hand dripped crystal-clear drops of blood, and his cold and ruthless eyes, like those of a vulture, were scrutinizing Capone Bege from head to toe as if he were a fish on a chopping board.
The person on the far right is wearing a loose, worn-out kimono and thick wooden clogs. His eyes are closed, and he holds a blind man's cane. His every move seems ordinary, but to a master, this blind man is flawless and always in a state of alert, ready to draw his knife at any moment.
These two individuals would be top-tier experts anywhere.
At this moment, however, these two top experts were like two generals, one step behind the young brigadier general in the middle, their humble posture clearly showing that the young brigadier general was in charge.
The boy had black hair and black eyes, flames burning his sword, and lightning crackling around him. His white navy cloak fluttered in the heat, and beneath his flowing bangs, a pair of scarlet eyes revealed a domineering sharpness. His seemingly youthful face made it easy to overlook his actual age and mistake him for a high-ranking admiral from the Navy Headquarters.
Capone Becky felt a chill run down his spine.
The moment he saw Yang Ming, the warning sound of his Observation Haki was like a raging ocean, instantly engulfing him.
"Danger! Danger! Danger!"
The boy before him gave Capone Bege a sense of déjà vu, like meeting Shiki the Golden Lion. The humility and cowardice of a creature at the bottom of the food chain encountering a predator at the top of the food chain surged into his mind in an instant.
No words are needed; the answer naturally comes to mind upon seeing this young brigadier general.
"Governor-General of the Western Sea! Brigadier General Yang Ming!"
Capone Bege, almost under the pressure of the powerful auras of the three strong men, gritted his teeth and uttered Yang Ming's name.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
The four characters "Governor of the West Sea" are like a five-finger mountain pressing down on the heads of all the pirates in the West Sea. Whenever they think of Yang Ming, they feel immense psychological pressure.
Yang Ming paused, and an invisible Conqueror's Haki unilaterally spread towards Capone Bege.
Conqueror's Haki is directly related to a person's strength, influence, and magnanimity. Yang Ming's influence is growing rapidly, and his Conqueror's Haki is no longer what it used to be. Even Capone Bege, one of the twelve Supernovas in the original work, could not resist the pressure from Yang Ming and knelt on one knee.
Capone Becky's upper and lower teeth chattered incessantly, making a "clattering" sound.
In a daze, he felt as if he were sitting in an old house in a forest, with terrifying beings outside who could reach out and pluck the stars from the sky.
The combined effects of illusion and domineering power tormented Capone Bege's mind.
The devilish whispers rang in Capone Bege's ears, like a last straw for a drowning man, giving him a glimmer of hope for rescue.
Where is Shiki the Golden Lion hiding?
The lingering sound waves persisted in the narrow underground passage, and Capone Becky, despite his loss of composure, found his mouth opening and closing unconsciously.
"he is……"
