However, it seemed Satan had no intention of acknowledging Huanglong, that lowly experimental subject, nor was he able to contact Huanglong and Vegapunk through the CP0 agent's Den Den Mushi.
He simply watched in silence as Huanglong snatched Vegapunk away.
"Satan, you should still remember Bartholomew Kuma, that Buccaneer?"
"With his Paw-Paw Fruit ability, he can easily send these guys all over the world. I hope you can find the scientists whose families you've taken hostage, one by one!"
Huanglong aimed the surveillance Den Den Mushi at Kuma, making Satan look again at the descendant of the Buccaneer Tribe.
Back in God Valley, a nine-year-old Kuma had just eaten the Paw-Paw Fruit. Under Big Mom Charlotte Linlin's interference, he narrowly escaped from Satan, and successfully rescued over five hundred slaves and residents of God Valley.
His stamina was terrifying, as if he were an inexhaustible perpetual motion machine, constantly using the Paw-Paw Fruit ability to send people flying.
This was the strength of the Buccaneer Tribe; they possessed not only unparalleled stamina and defense but also terrifying strength comparable to giants.
"Kuma, send those scientists to remote islands in the sea."
Dongye Huanglong said with a somewhat cold expression. If Vegapunk hadn't strongly opposed Huanglong killing the scientists who refused to follow him, why would he have chosen this method to annoy the World Government?
Moreover, since Satan didn't even want to acknowledge Dongye Huanglong, there was no way he would pay a ransom to get these scientists back.
Satan probably wanted to utterly obliterate Huanglong right now. In decades, no one had dared to speak to him like this.
"Okay!"
Kuma quickly replied. As long as he wasn't directly killing anyone, it was fine. He swiftly sent flying some of the uncooperative scientists whose families were held hostage by the World Government, forcing them to fend for themselves.
Under Huanglong's imposing presence, a portion of scientists and researchers were also willing to leave with him.
Vegapunk and Huanglong carefully selected them, weeding out those with impure intentions and excluding those who had been forcibly made into Vivre Cards by the World Government.
Dongye Huanglong successfully took in one-third of the talents from this science division.
These scientists were all top talents who had been coerced or lured by the World Government through various means, and now they had become Huanglong's spoils of war.
As a laboratory floated up on a Flame Cloud, these scientists moved their research results and experimental equipment aboard.
The stem cell transplantation medical equipment, which Huanglong and Kuma valued most, was also loaded onto the floating laboratory.
"Can your stamina really allow you to float this laboratory across the ocean?"
Vegapunk asked Dongye Huanglong with some concern. He had now bet his life and entire fortune on Huanglong.
"Don't worry, just follow along!"
Dongye Huanglong said. He remembered that in the latter half of the New World, there was a Sky Island. When the Supernovas Kid, Hawkins, and Appo formed an alliance, Kaido of the Beasts was on that Sky Island when he jumped down.
Another Supernova, Urouge, had also recuperated on that Sky Island.
Dongye Huanglong now wanted to temporarily go to that Sky Island to lie low and avoid the pursuit of Kizaru and Satan.
Besides, Bonney also needed time to heal.
As for whether they would coincidentally run into Kaido of the Beasts, that would depend on luck.
As the laboratory flew up, Huanglong transformed into the Crimson Giant Dragon and left Egghead Island with the laboratory.
As he departed, Huanglong didn't forget to unleash a Flame Dragon Breath on Egghead Island, completely destroying several research facilities on the island and eliminating all of Satan's surveillance Den Den Mushi and those CP agents.
Meanwhile, Kuma instantly returned to the sailboat, picked up Bonney and all the Tontatta, and transferred them to the floating laboratory.
This sailboat, like the warships at Egghead Island's port, was destroyed by Dongye Huanglong at any moment, leaving nothing behind.
Dongye Huanglong excitedly left with the floating laboratory, which contained his entire fortune in this world.
Inside the laboratory.
Vegapunk had already begun examining Bonney's condition.
As the world's foremost scientist, Vegapunk was a genius and his medical skills were also formidable.
"She can be cured!"
With Vegapunk's affirmative tone, Kuma, holding Bonney, shed tears of joy, weeping uncontrollably.
Even Momotaro and some scientists were moved by Kuma's sincere emotions, their eyes welling up with tears.
"This Tontatta Princess is a Heal-Heal Fruit User? That's wonderful! Bonney's treatment time might be shortened a bit."
Vegapunk looked at Princess Mansherry, the Tontatta, with great interest, even more intrigued by the principles of the Heal-Heal Fruit.
After creating the Zoan Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit, Vegapunk had already begun researching Paramecia Devil Fruits, which was top-tier technology he was preparing for the Seraphim project.
He hoped Dongye Huanglong would have enough money in the future to support his research.
Fortunately, Dongye Huanglong also possessed lightning abilities, which allowed Vegapunk to store this electricity to maintain the laboratory's operation.
Now Vegapunk could perform a series of examinations and surgical plans for Bonney.
Meanwhile, Kuma was assisting Dongye Huanglong in searching the skies for the Sky Island in the New World.
Kuma also sought help from Dragon and found the island where the legend of Sky Island circulated—Yinlan Island.
And directly above Yinlan Island was the Sky Island, Baron Island.
As Dongye Huanglong led the laboratory to Baron Island for a rest, Saint Saturn flew into a rage in Mary Geoise. Kizaru, who had not yet arrived at Egghead Island, was berated.
Satan once again ordered Kizaru to conduct a large-scale search for Dongye Huanglong and Vegapunk, determined to capture the strongest experimental subject and the strongest scientist.
"We should also capture that descendant of the Buccaneer Tribe, Kuma!"
Upon hearing this order, Kizaru's lecherous face contorted into a grimace once more. After all, Egghead Island was located in the latter half of the New World, very close to the territory of the Yonko, Kaido of the Beasts.
As a Marine Admiral, how could he dare to act with impunity in the latter half of the New World?
Even if Sakazuki were to join them, they wouldn't dare to undertake large-scale operations.
If they were to be surrounded by two or three Yonko pirate crews, even if the three Admirals were present, they would be in serious trouble!
Kizaru could only agree to Saint Saturn while employing his usual slacking tactics, pretending to search for Dongye Huanglong and Vegapunk.
He was terrified of provoking the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.
Meanwhile, Marine Headquarters also received Saint Saturn's order and officially issued a warrant for Dongye Huanglong.
Given that even Tyrant Kuma, with a bounty of 296 million Belly, seemed to obey Dongye Huanglong.
Coupled with Saint Saturn's intense dislike for Dongye Huanglong, this lowly Experiment Subject 88, Saint Saturn set Dongye Huanglong's initial bounty at 300 million Belly.
He also bestowed upon Dongye Huanglong the permanent title of Experiment Subject 88.
He ordered Sengoku not to allow Dongye Huanglong to be given any other title, and even notified Big News Morgans that Dongye Huanglong must absolutely not be given any other nicknames.
Saint Saturn wanted this ant, Dongye Huanglong, to bear this humiliating experiment subject number for his entire life.
A low-class experiment subject dared to threaten him, the world's highest authority.
Experiment Subject 88, Dongye Huanglong, must die!
