Entering West Blue

On Sky Island, Baron Island in the New World.

A laboratory filled with a sense of technology stood atop the white island clouds.

Dongye Huanglong and Kuma had forcefully taken over this small sky island, allowing everyone to rest.

Vegapunk also utilized the limited resources within the laboratory to begin Bonney's first phase of treatment.

"Commander, this sky island isn't suitable as our base. It's too close to the territory of the Yonko. Furthermore, the people of this sky island mentioned they saw an Azure Dragon passing by here. If Kaido of the Beasts knows about this place, it means the strongest creature on sea, land, and air might come here to commit suicide. We must leave here as soon as possible."

Bartholomew Kuma earnestly advised Dongye Huanglong. On Baron Island, they not only had to face the pursuit of Marines like Kizaru but also worry about encountering Kaido of the Beasts. This was truly quite dangerous.

"I know. We'll rest for a bit, then head straight for West Blue!"

Dongye Huanglong looked at the crude map and said after some thought. He actually preferred to go to North Blue because North Blue had Trafalgar Law and the Vinsmoke Family, both of whom he wanted to conquer. Trafalgar Law's Ope Ope no Mi was very important, and the Vinsmoke Family's technological prowess was also crucial. The Seraphim project would develop much faster with the Vinsmoke Family's experimental equipment. However, Baron Island was currently close to the Calm Belt in West Blue, so Dongye Huanglong had no choice but to take Vegapunk and the others to West Blue first. Moreover, in West Blue, Dongye Huanglong had his sights set on Capone Bege, who possessed the Castle-Castle Fruit. With this guy, Dongye Huanglong wouldn't need to carry this laboratory around. In the future, these scientists and experimental equipment would have a place to take refuge, making it convenient for them to change locations at any time.

"Okay!"

Kuma did not object. After learning that Dongye Huanglong had a slight ability to predict the future, he trusted the man even more. Kuma had once been a slave with his father in Mary Geoise, so he felt a strong sense of identification with Dongye Huanglong, an experiment subject, even feeling a sense of kinship. Dongye Huanglong's Lunarian bloodline and Ancient Giant bloodline made Kuma, a Buccaneer, feel a sense of closeness.

"Vegapunk, this time we're going to West Blue to find a Castle-Castle Fruit user. You'd best create an artificial human suitable as a Paramecia Green Blood carrier first."

Dongye Huanglong said to Vegapunk. In order to create more perfect clones, both Dongye Huanglong and Kuma were willing to contribute their genes and bloodline factors. As long as the funds and resources were in place, Vegapunk could immediately mass-produce a batch of clone warriors. At that time, Dongye Huanglong would obtain a large number of Supernova-level Pacifistas!

"Sigh, we don't have the resources for Seraphim right now, and you have Kaido of the Beasts' bloodline factor, as well as bloodlines from many races. It's too difficult to cultivate your clone. However, Kuma's Buccaneer bloodline should be able to be cloned. Moreover, Kuma's bloodline combined with the Lunarian bloodline would be very suitable as the first Seraphim experiment subject."

Vegapunk said with a troubled expression. Lacking money, resources, and time, he was utterly incapable of dealing with other matters. Dongye Huanglong and Kuma, these two rare race members and experiment subjects, gave him many ideas, but he just lacked the money and time to research them.

"Forget it, forget it. You treat Bonney first, I'll figure out the rest!"

Dongye Huanglong said. It seemed he could only forcibly subdue Capone Bege, the Mafia Godfather. Once the Seraphim technology was perfected and a Seraphim with the Castle-Castle Fruit ability could be created, he could abandon Capone Bege at any time.

After resting for a day or two on Baron Island, Dongye Huanglong, now full of energy, prepared to drag the laboratory away from this sky island. He needed to cross the Calm Belt and enter West Blue.

"By the way, Kuma, can your ability send me and the laboratory to West Blue together?"

Dongye Huanglong suddenly asked while dragging the massive laboratory. To be honest, he didn't want to fly that far, but he didn't know if Kuma's ability could send such a huge laboratory flying.

"...I'll try!"

Kuma swallowed and said, looking at the massive laboratory and the giant dragon. Dongye Huanglong, transformed into a giant dragon,'s eyes lit up. He immediately hugged the laboratory, protecting it to prevent it from being smashed to pieces upon landing. With a serious expression, Kuma crossed his arms and unleashed an enormous Air Bear Paw.

"Commander Huanglong, there might not be enough energy to send you to your destination. You'll need to be careful protecting the laboratory then."

Kuma desperately activated his Paw-Paw Fruit ability, veins bulging on his arms, and sent the giant laboratory and the giant dragon flying together.

"Divine skill, Kuma! The Paw-Paw Fruit ability is truly a bug-level ability!"

Inside the giant bear paw bubble, Dongye Huanglong shouted excitedly. With Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability, coupled with Dongye Huanglong's advantage in plot knowledge and intelligence, he could completely establish his own faction in the shortest possible time. How much time this would save!

"Commander, the power of this bear paw bubble might not be enough to leave the Calm Belt. You must keep an eye on it."

Kuma also teleported into the laboratory, panting as he said to Dongye Huanglong. To send this massive laboratory flying, he had already exerted most of his strength. Now, the safety of himself, Bonney, and Vegapunk was entrusted to Dongye Huanglong.

"Understood. With me here, you'll all be safe!"

Dongye Huanglong smiled. Being able to use the Paw-Paw Fruit ability to accelerate and cross more than half of the Calm Belt already saved him a lot of effort and time. Kuma's super-giant travel balloon burst after flying for less than a day. Dongye Huanglong had to use Flame Cloud to continue carrying the laboratory and cross the remaining distance of the Calm Belt.

After flying for another half a day, Dongye Huanglong and his group finally entered West Blue.

On a remote, desolate island.

Dongye Huanglong landed the laboratory to rest and recover his strength.

"I know about the West Blue Mafia. The pirate Capone Bege is quite famous. The island they are stationed on is called Nostra Island."

Inside Vegapunk's large head, information about Capone Bege was easily found. As a scientist, he paid attention to everything happening at sea, searching for things that interested him or some interesting Devil Fruit abilities.

"Then let's rest for a bit and go find him directly!"

A look of determination flashed in Dongye Huanglong's eyes. Any target he set his sights on would absolutely not escape his grasp!

Because the weather and magnetic fields in the Four Seas are very normal, there's no need for a Log Pose when sailing. One can find the various islands of West Blue using just a sea chart.

Furthermore, Vegapunk also had maps of the Four Seas, a detailed special edition from the World Government.

Every affiliated nation and non-affiliated nation was clearly marked!

After resting, Dongye Huanglong and his group continued towards their target.

Two days later, on Nostra Island.

A massive shadow loomed over the Mafia's headquarters. A colossal Crimson Giant Dragon appeared in the sky, its terrifying pressure causing the Mafia members to panic!

Capone Bege looked at the giant dragon in the sky, and the cigar in his mouth fell out.
