300 Million Berry Bounty

A few days later.

A brand-new bounty poster, carried by a News Bird, spread to the Four Seas and the Grand Line.

Those who received the newspaper and bounty poster were very curious about this newcomer who had suddenly appeared.

"Fufufufu~, so this is the guy who escaped from Punk Hazard?

A bounty of 300 Million Berries on his first appearance, it seems the World Government thinks highly of him!"

On the King's Plateau in Dressrosa.

Doflamingo, holding Dongye Huanglong's bounty poster, laughed wildly. The eyes beneath his sunglasses were devilishly charming and unrestrained, as if he were contemplating how to extract profit from this newcomer.

He felt that there were many secrets hidden within this newcomer.

According to Vergo's secret intelligence, Kizaru had transferred most of the G-5 Fortress's forces to the latter half of the New World, indicating that something major had happened.

Doflamingo immediately activated his underworld intelligence network, wanting to know what exactly had transpired with the World Government.

They actually gave such a high bounty to an escaped experiment subject.

The secrets within might be more valuable than rescuing Caesar.

Revolutionary Army Headquarters - Baldigo Island.

"Is this your new captain?"

Dragon looked at the photo of Dongye Huanglong, frowning with a troubled expression. He had 'given' both Kuma and Vegapunk to this experiment subject.

He hadn't expected Vegapunk to be willing to leave with Dongye Huanglong. He had invited Vegapunk years ago, but Vegapunk had flatly refused.

Back then, he was penniless and couldn't support Vegapunk's research, which was understandable.

But now, Dongye Huanglong was also penniless, and couldn't compare to the Revolutionary Army, which had a bit of wealth now.

What was going on!

Was this a disregard for the Revolutionary Army's financial strength?

"I wonder if I can recruit this guy into the Revolutionary Army,"

Dragon murmured softly. According to Kuma's intelligence, Dongye Huanglong deeply hated Satan and also wanted to overthrow the World Government, which aligned with the Revolutionary Army's goals.

It was just that Dongye Huanglong possessed Conqueror's Haki and was unwilling to submit to Dragon.

This made things a bit difficult.

However, thinking of Silvers Rayleigh, the first mate of the Pirate King Roger, who was also a Conqueror's Haki user, Dragon felt a desire to recruit Dongye Huanglong into the Revolutionary Army and cultivate him as the next leader.

He wondered if Dongye Huanglong would be willing.

Currently, Dragon was intentionally nurturing Sabo, a young man of immense talent. However, Sabo lacked Conqueror's Haki, which was a significant drawback.

After all, to grow into a top-tier powerhouse, Conqueror's Haki infusion was the most crucial offensive technique.

"I'll have Kuma sound him out then,"

Dragon said with sharp eyes. He was extremely covetous of Vegapunk's research capabilities, and by securing Dongye Huanglong, he could also gain two powerful combatants, Dongye Huanglong and Kuma.

Kuma had repeatedly boasted to Dragon about Dongye Huanglong's terrifying potential, believing that Dongye Huanglong would surely grow into a monster like Kaido of the Beasts.

This filled Dragon with interest in Dongye Huanglong as well.

Wano Country - Onigashima.

"Experiment Subject 88? Did another guy escape from the lab?"

Kaido of the Beasts looked at the latest bounty poster with interest, as he himself had once escaped from a laboratory.

"Brother Kaido, should we recruit him into our Beasts Pirates?"

King the Conflagration looked at the photo of Dongye Huanglong, attracted by the familiar flames on him. This stirred his dormant heart.

Could this Experiment Subject 88 be one of his kind?

But why didn't he have tan skin and white hair, nor the black wings of the Lunarian Tribe?

However, thinking of Dongye Huanglong's identity as an experiment subject, King the Conflagration's thoughts became somewhat agitated.

It seemed he wasn't his kind, but a modified experiment subject.

"Ulogloglog~, then let's recruit him!"

Kaido of the Beasts shouted, taking a swig of alcohol, and laughed loudly. He also wanted to see if Dongye Huanglong, this experiment subject, was as powerful as him and King.

After all, their initial bounties weren't as high as 300 million.

He wondered if Dongye Huanglong was truly worth that price!

It would be even better if Dongye Huanglong was a Zoan Devil Fruit User, as he could be recruited into their Tobi Roppo.

Currently, Ulti and Page One were still too young, and their bounties were lower than Dongye Huanglong's.

New World - Moby Dick.

Fire Fist Ace, who had recently joined the Whitebeard Pirates, was drinking with Jinbe and Teach.

"Hey, another monstrous newcomer has appeared. But seeing the title 'Experiment Subject 88', I know he's a pitiful fellow.

"Then I won't make a move on him. After some time, I'm going to take down a Shichibukai!"

Fire Fist Ace laughed heartily while drinking. He had already fought Jinbe, one of the Shichibukai, and after five days and five nights, neither of them had gained the upper hand.

So, he could only look for other Shichibukai to fight.

Now that he had become the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, he urgently needed to defeat some major pirates to increase his fame and bounty.

Otherwise, he would be too embarrassed to be the Second Division Commander with such a low bounty.

"Ace, don't act rashly. Every Shichibukai is not to be trifled with!"

Jinbe warned him. Among the Shichibukai he had encountered, each one was terrifying. Especially monsters like Hawk Eyes Mihawk, the Pirate Empress, and Doflamingo, who made him feel a great sense of crisis.

Ace was still young and had plenty of time to grow. There was no need to challenge these veteran pirates so soon.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll pick the weakest one."

Fire Fist Ace laughed loudly. After fighting Jinbe, he knew his own strength. He was confident he could defeat the weakest of the Shichibukai.

"Experiment Subject..."

Whitebeard Newgate looked at the news about Dongye Huanglong. For some reason, he thought of that woman, Bakkin. He shook his head, casting the greedy and snobbish woman out of his mind.

It was these sons who made him happier.

If he had the chance, he wouldn't mind taking in a pitiable experiment subject like Dongye Huanglong under his wing, letting him feel his father's warmth.

In the rain-soaked land of Alabasta.

Nico Robin summarized the information for Crocodile, but this Sand Crocodile had no time to pay attention to such newcomers. He was currently focused on overthrowing the country and finding the whereabouts of Pluton.

Because the Nefertari Royal Family's original status as Celestial Dragons made Crocodile very wary of the World Government's attention, he could only slowly build his identity as the country's hero, step by step overthrowing Cobra's rule.

Nico Robin, however, paid more attention to Dongye Huanglong. She felt that this guy would definitely cause bigger trouble in the future.

The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock of Amazon Lily, as usual, completely disregarded this news.

The Big Mom Pirates, the Red-Haired Pirates, and the other Shichibukai were not paying much attention to the newcomer Dongye Huanglong.

Instead, the quadrennial World Government Conference attracted their attention more.
