Coercing and Enticing Vegapunk

The Crimson Giant Dragon, transformed from Dongye Huanglong, descended upon Egghead Island carrying a terrifying pressure.

The uncontrollable Conqueror's Haki erupted once more, instantly causing most of the scientists and researchers to roll their eyes.

"Vegapunk, I'm here to take you away! News of your research on the Poneglyphs has already leaked!"

Dongye Huanglong roared to the sky, his voice echoing across the small island of Egghead.

This scene was also transmitted to Mary Geoise via the island's numerous Surveillance Den Den Mushi.

Saint Saturn, the Science Guarding Warrior God, who was monitoring Egghead Island, his expression turned grim.

How did Experiment Subject 88 find Egghead Island so quickly?

Had Vegapunk and Subject 88 colluded?

There was a conspiracy at play!

Furthermore, Vegapunk had actually researched the Poneglyphs?

This was something the World Government absolutely would not permit!

It seemed Vegapunk had committed another grave offense.

If not for the fact that he still needed Vegapunk's intellect and research capabilities, he would have annihilated this restless scientist!

"Kizaru!! Go to Egghead Island immediately and bring Vegapunk back. Subject 88 is already there!"

Saint Saturn, his face dark, called Kizaru, ordering him to depart at once and provide support to Egghead Island with the utmost speed.

This was Saint Saturn's miscalculation.

He hadn't expected that the highly secretive Egghead Island would be found by Subject 88 so quickly.

What was going on?

However, when he learned that Tyrant Kuma had also appeared on Egghead Island, his expression became even more troubled.

The Revolutionary Army was involved too!

Had Subject 88 joined the Revolutionary Army?

This thought made Saint Saturn somewhat angry. How could this most perfect experiment be used as a stepping stone for the Revolutionary Army!

Kizaru, who was near an island in the Punk Hazard sea area, frowned deeply upon receiving the call from the Five Elders.

"My heavens, how did the severely injured Subject 88 fly from the first half of the New World to Egghead Island in the latter half!"

Kizaru's scalp tingled. He immediately ordered a swift reinforcement to Egghead Island. The distance from the Punk Hazard sea area to Egghead Island was too great, and he couldn't fly there directly, so he could only travel by warship.

On Egghead Island, Dongye Huanglong was engaged in a close-quarters battle with a CP0 agent.

'Rokushiki: Finger Pistol!'

The CP agent, dressed in a white suit, used Soru to approach Huanglong at high speed, his index finger imbued with Armament Haki, stabbing towards Huanglong's heart.

"This level of attack can't hurt me anymore!"

Dongye Huanglong, the Half-Dragon Man, sneered, ignoring the CP0 agent's attack and lunging with his powerful Dragon Claw towards his neck.

"Crack!"

The CP0 agent's Armament Haki-infused finger pistol snapped directly, unable to pierce Dongye Huanglong's chest.

"Ah!"

'Armament: Tekkai!'

As the CP0 agent cried out in pain, Dongye Huanglong snapped his neck. A large amount of hot blood splattered onto Huanglong's dragon scales.

The pinkish dragon scales seemed to absorb the blood, turning crimson.

"Did you use Tekkai?"

Dongye Huanglong, dropping the CP0 agent whose skin had turned red and black, asked with a mocking grin.

"Saturn, I know you're watching this scene and hearing this sound!

Remember, this is my first act of revenge. This eye will remember you forever!"

Dongye Huanglong looked at a Surveillance Den Den Mushi on the wall, smiling ferociously. After speaking, his right eye shot out a Laser beam, blasting the Den Den Mushi.

In Mary Geoise, Saint Saturn clenched his cane, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He was actually being threatened by an ant!

At this moment, Vegapunk walked out with a grim expression, ignoring Momotaro's frantic pulling.

"Huanglong, what are you talking about? What Poneglyphs? I don't know what nonsense you're spouting! And I'm not leaving with you now."

Vegapunk shouted at Dongye Huanglong with a conflicted expression. He couldn't leave the World Government yet. He wanted freedom, but he was also reluctant to give up the World Government's abundant resources and substantial funding.

Therefore, he had to suppress the matter of researching the Poneglyphs to avoid being purged by the World Government.

Moreover, leaving with Dongye Huanglong now would not only mean no money for further research but also make him a wanted criminal by the World Government, preventing him from researching in peace ever again.

He knew that back at the Ohara ruins, he had the chance to leave with Dragon, but Dragon's Revolutionary Army was too poor to support his research.

Dongye Huanglong was even poorer now, practically penniless, so he had no reason to leave with Huanglong.

Dongye Huanglong's circumstances were worse than Dragon's.

"Doctor, stop hiding it. You're researching the Void Century. Speaking of which, I also know where the Sun God Nika is."

Dongye Huanglong grinned at Vegapunk, also speaking to Saturn.

Hearing the name Sun God Nika, Kuma's eyes lit up. Could the Rhythm of Liberation Nika reappear?

"Also, you've modified my body so many times. It's time for you to pay me back!"

Dongye Huanglong walked step by step towards Vegapunk, ignoring Momotaro who blocked his path.

"Subject 88, Uncle Kizaru is on his way. I advise you to leave quickly and don't lay a hand on the Doctor!"

Momotaro held his large axe. He felt a terrifying pressure from Dongye Huanglong. This unrestrained, tyrannical aura was more oppressive than Kizaru's.

"Huanglong, I know it was wrong of me to modify your body, but I had no choice."

Vegapunk swallowed, speaking a little sheepishly. However, he really didn't want to leave with Huanglong, the pauper.

"Doctor, I'm not short on money. I can give you as much as you want, and let you research freely. Isn't that enough?"

Dongye Huanglong looked at Vegapunk dangerously. Meanwhile, Kuma had already taken down a large number of CP agents, not allowing anyone to attack Huanglong.

"You have money?"

Vegapunk looked at Dongye Huanglong skeptically. He still didn't quite believe it. If money wasn't an issue, he might consider it.

More than twenty years ago, before he was captured by the World Government, it was the Underworld Emperor, the King of Loan Sharks, Fudou Feld, who provided them with funds for research.

If Dongye Huanglong wasn't short on money, he could gradually build his own research laboratory.

After all, in this world, as long as you have money, you can definitely find the Underworld Emperor to help you get any resources you desire.

Dongye Huanglong walked past Momotaro and stood beside Vegapunk, whispering in his ear.

"I've already found the Golden City Shandra and mastered the secret of the Golden Emperor Tesoro. I'm not short on money!

And I know you read Ohara's books in Elbaf and are researching Poneglyphs.

I also know about this clone, Stussy...

The World Government won't let you go!"

Dongye Huanglong whispered in Vegapunk's ear, intending to use various information and secrets to coerce and entice him.

In any case, today, Vegapunk had only one path: to leave with Dongye Huanglong!
