Caesar's fear was gradually turning into loyalty.
To enhance the effect of the fear, Chu Yang had Caesar watch the entire process of Judge's mind being tormented by the illusion.
Caesar watched with trembling eyes until the very end, when Chu Yang used the Soul-Stealing Curse to control his mind.
After all this was done, Caesar had already knelt down in complete submission, his forehead pressed firmly against the ground.
His devout appearance resembled that of a fanatical believer.
Thus, Chu Yang achieved all his goals for this trip. He obtained Caesar and Judge, as well as the Germa Kingdom, which had once been the overlord of the North Sea.
Judge's four children are valuable in themselves.
Cloned soldiers are dispensable. These people lack independent thinking ability and have average combat power. At best, they are just moving toys, far inferior to the Shadow Clone Technique.
It would take the Germal Kingdom more than a month to travel from the North Blue back to the Grand Line, so Chu Yang didn't have time to wait for them and took Caesar back to Wano Country first.
It's always a pleasure to see old acquaintances, especially when Caesar saw the huge sea stone shackles around Quinn's neck; he was even happier.
"Hey, isn't this Quinn? What happened to you after all this time?" Caesar winked and mocked him. Back in the government's science unit, they had all looked down on each other's research.
"You're still alive?"
Quinn somehow produced a cigar, put it in his mouth, and puffed out smoke while looking at Caesar with disdain.
"I won't die even if you die."
Caesar responded with a cold laugh.
Chu Yang walked in from outside, saw the two men who were at each other's throats, and smiled. "Stop arguing. You'll see each other all the time. Just do your job properly."
Caesar immediately prostrated himself on the ground and said respectfully, "As you wish, sir."
"Boss?" Quinn looked at Caesar in surprise, then glanced at Chu Yang before immediately adding, "Boss, after the lab is completed, shouldn't we add some more staff here?"
Chu Yang snapped his fingers, and suddenly a person who looked exactly the same appeared behind him.
one by one.
Quinn and Caesar stared in disbelief as the laboratory was filled with Chu Yang's shadow clones.
"Is it enough?"
Quinn and Caesar looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Enough! That's enough!"
Chu Yang nodded, then reminded them, "Starting today, no outsiders are allowed in the lab, including fishmen and revolutionaries. Try to delay letting them know my secrets until later."
Caesar replied confidently, "Boss, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I guarantee none of them will be able to get in."
Chu Yang gave Caesar a few words of praise, then went into the innermost room.
Upon opening the door, the dying "Auntie" Charlotte Linlin was found suspended in the center of the room by sea stone chains.
"Boy, we don't have any deep-seated hatred between us, why torture me like this?"
His tattered clothes and filthy hair made the former sea emperor look particularly disheveled and wretched.
Coupled with her venomous eyes, Charlotte Linlin looked like a demon from hell.
He was still sent to hell by Chu Yang himself.
"Just like you said, there is no enmity between us. I'm just interested in your Devil Fruit ability."
Chu Yang waved his hand and created a wooden chair, then sat down in front of Charlotte Linlin.
"You won't get the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit this way, so you might as well kill me. In a few years, a new fruit will appear. You're so young, this little bit of time doesn't matter at all, does it?"
Charlotte Lingling was extremely agitated and begged Chu Yang to kill her. In just a few weeks, she had been in Chu Yang's illusion space for several years, and her mind was on the verge of collapse.
Even so, the Soul-Stealing Curse failed to work on her. It's unclear whether it was due to the unwavering resolve of a top-tier expert or because Big Mom's Soul-Soul Fruit had some effect.
"To be honest, I'm looking for the essence of a Devil Fruit, not a fruit with obvious side effects. I'm sorry, but I'll have to ask you to bear with it for a while longer."
Chu Yang smiled kindly, stood up and walked out of the room, completely ignoring Charlotte Linlin's hysterical curses behind him.
Meanwhile, the World Government is swamped with problems because of the bounty order.
Pirates, tempted by the high bounties, began to gather forces and attack the Navy's branch bases.
Four naval branches were destroyed, all officers below the rank of major general were killed, and countless soldiers were wounded.
This is an unprecedented and appalling incident!
The Marine Headquarters suddenly realized that the overwhelming number of bounty posters would bring about an even more violent upheaval than the Great Pirate Era.
……
The world of martial arts.
After crossing Zhongnan Mountain, one leaves the Southern Song Dynasty and arrives at the border of the Northern Song Dynasty.
As the carriage passed the border between the two countries, Chu Yang stood by the boundary marker in a daze. Even after being in this world for so long, he still couldn't get used to treating the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties as two separate countries.
The thought that once they left the Northern Song Dynasty, their next stop would be the Ming Dynasty filled Chu Yang with a sense of disorientation.
"This is such a mess..."
Huang Rong and Mu Nianci were cooking when they heard Chu Yang talking to himself. Mu Nianci looked at Huang Rong, completely bewildered.
"What's wrong with Brother Chu?"
"Never mind him. He's always been like this, spouting nonsense all the time. It's probably a side effect of cultivating immortality. Now it seems that not having the chance to cultivate immortality is a good thing, at least his brain won't go haywire."
"Rong'er, is Brother Chu's condition really that serious?"
"Hmph! You've only known him for a few days. Just wait and see, once he goes crazy, let's see if you'll still be able to call him Brother Chu."
Mu Nianci blushed and stopped talking, lowering her head to help Huang Rong.
Before long, the meal was ready. Huang Rong was skillful and the carriage was well-stocked with food. The meal included chicken, fish, vegetables, and meat. The variety of dishes made it seem more like a picnic than a journey.
"Xiao Chu, when we were in the city earlier, I heard that the Northern Song Dynasty was going to hold some kind of grand event. Shall we go and take a look?"
Huang Rong's eyes darted around; at the tender age of fifteen, she was exceptionally clever and mischievous.
Chu Yang rolled his eyes. "No wonder you cooked so many dishes today. You had ulterior motives all along."
Huang Rong put her hands on her hips and retorted angrily, "I make this much every day, okay? Look at you, you're almost getting fat!"
Chu Yang found it a bit funny. How could he possibly gain weight? The energy provided by the food wasn't even enough for his body's circulation.
"go Go."
Chu Yang felt a little embarrassed thinking about how he had been taking them to camp in the wilderness recently in order to speed up their journey.
Although the carriage was spacious and had everything, it lacked human warmth. After a while, one would still miss the warmth of everyday life.
Not to mention the two of them, Chu Yang himself also wanted to go to the city for a stroll.
Having been a teacher for so long, he fondly remembers the days when a group of children were noisily around him.
Huang Rong and Mu Nianci held hands and cheered.
After lunch, the carriage continued its journey, but this time they headed towards a more populated area. Huang Rong inquired along the way and finally learned the name of a place.
Juxianzhuang.
After storing the carriage at the inn, Chu Yang and his companions went out onto the main street. Without needing to ask any passersby, they simply followed the surging crowd and found Juxian Manor.
Today, heroes have gathered together. A group of self-proclaimed knights have come together to discuss how to deal with Qiao Feng, who has now become a Khitan.
"A just brawl..."
Chu Yang clicked his tongue, making a meaningful comment.
“My father has always looked down on those who call themselves heroes, but he has great respect for this Chief Qiao. I suppose he is not someone who has earned his reputation in vain.”
Huang Rong had heard the rumors about Qiao Feng, how a great hero had become a pariah in just a few months, which made her sigh with regret.
"Qiao Feng has a long history of misdeeds, and it is an undeniable fact that he has killed many senior martial arts masters. Your father was somewhat blind to his talent."
The cold laughter grew louder as it approached. Huang Rong heard someone cursing her father and immediately turned around, glaring angrily.
The newcomer was dressed as a beggar, but his clothes were spotless. He had an upturned eye and looked very sinister. He was spouting nonsense at Huang Rong.
"Who do you think it is? It's just a young girl. No wonder she speaks so carelessly."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Huang Rong flashed forward and slapped the beggar several times, sending him flying.
"Ouch!"
The beggar fell heavily to the ground. The next second, a group of beggars rushed out from the crowd, surrounded him, and helped him up.
Elder Quan, are you alright?
"Elders, I am fine. That brat was ruthless and should not be a member of the righteous path."
The beggar named Elder Quan glared at Huang Rong through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing this, one of the beggars stepped forward from the crowd and, filled with righteous indignation, cupped his hands to Huang Rong, saying, "Young lady, Elder Quan misspoke just now, but you don't deserve to be so cruel next time."
Huang Rong sneered, "He deserved to be beaten for insulting my father!"
Upon hearing this, the other Beggar Clan elders glanced at Elder Quan with disdain. In ancient times, filial piety was highly valued, and it was considered extremely disrespectful for a son to scold his father. No wonder the elder reacted so strongly.
However, the next second, Huang Rong's words offended them all.
