Artificial Azure Dragon Zoan Fruit

Amidst the urgent, sharp alarm in the laboratory, a figure stumbled around like a lost, trapped beast.

"Caesar!"

"Caesar!"

His mind still somewhat chaotic, the deranged man frantically searched the research facility, his eyes red, looking for the one he hated most.

Lasers fired indiscriminately, triggering massive explosions.

This black-haired man, his face filled with murderous intent, was Dongye Huanglong.

His surname was Dongye, his given name Huanglong, and he was from Blue Star China!

Two and a half years ago, while traveling south of the Rainbow, he accidentally ate a special-patterned Amanita phalloides mushroom. It showed him the legendary Chinese divine dragon, and in his excitement, he rushed forward, wanting to touch it.

As a result, the magnificent divine dragon suddenly transformed into a speeding dump truck, directly running Dongye Huanglong into the One Piece world.

Dongye Huanglong would never forget that red dump truck with the shoddy fake license plate, "Chuan Yue · 9527"!

After transmigrating, before Dongye Huanglong could even explore this world, he was arrested as a criminal on an island for his strange behavior by a CP agent in a black suit and sent directly to the laboratory at Punk Hazard.

Over the next two and a half years, he underwent multiple large-scale modification experiments.

He survived, both luckily and arduously, through repeated painful and desperate experiments.

During these two and a half years of modification, Dongye Huanglong also learned the language of this world from the dead prisoners, whose grave grass was already two and a half meters tall, and from the scientists.

Perhaps because Dongye Huanglong was a perfect experimental subject, Doctor Vegapunk and the other scientists were very proactive in teaching him.

This allowed Dongye Huanglong not only to learn the language and writing of this world but even to acquire some professional scientific knowledge and combat skills.

However, the painful experience of being an experimental subject and the despair of constant fear filled Dongye Huanglong with resentment and anger towards these scientists.

Some scientists subjected Dongye Huanglong to endless torture and pain to test the physical data of this perfect surviving specimen.

Slashes, stabs, fire, lightning, guns, cannons, poisons poured down his throat...

Therefore, even if Vegapunk and the others had taught him something, Dongye Huanglong would never forget the bone-chilling ordeal.

And then there was Gorosei Saturn, who, simply because Dongye Huanglong glanced at him, immediately used his Devil Fruit ability to blow out his right eye.

This debt of a blown-out eye could not be forgiven and would be avenged until death!

Caesar, that bastard, was also extremely arrogant and cruel. Just a few days ago, he performed two bloodline factor experiments on Dongye Huanglong at once. This astonishing act nearly killed Dongye Huanglong.

Fortunately, Dongye Huanglong's fate was strong enough, his luck high enough, and his physique very special; he miraculously came back to life again!

Resurrected from death, Dongye Huanglong wished he could personally slaughter that dog, Caesar!

Now, finally regaining his freedom, Dongye Huanglong was going to find the scientists who had inflicted endless pain upon him.

Revenge for grievances, retribution for hatred.

Especially Caesar Clown, that smiling facade hiding a heartless scumbag.

Seeing the surging purple poison gas in the corridor, the Lunarian flames on Dongye Huanglong's body burned even more intensely. He glanced at the faint purple patterns on his body.

He walked into the dense purple poison gas without fear.

As Dongye Huanglong walked through the purple mist, the faint purple patterns on his body writhed, as if absorbing the poison gas, making his body feel very comfortable.

"Is this the bloodline factor of Poison Powder?"

Looking at these faint purple patterns, the murderous intent on Dongye Huanglong's face slowly receded, and his scarlet left eye dimmed.

"It seems that two and a half years of being a lab rat, though painful and despairing, ultimately made me stronger!"

Dongye Huanglong murmured in a hoarse voice. Both the Lunarian's super adaptability and the ability from the Poison Factor allowed him to move unimpeded within the poison gas.

"Ah!"

"Save me!!"

"Someone save me!"

Dongye Huanglong strolled through the purple poison gas, continuously trying to control his new abilities. He searched the vast research facility for an exit and the scientists.

Along the way, he kept hearing screams and pleas for help.

Some guards and researchers who hadn't managed to escape were swallowed by the purple poison gas.

Most of the experimental prisoners locked in the cells were poisoned to death on the spot.

Conversely, some prisoners confined in sealed laboratories, awaiting various cruel experiments, were not immediately affected by the poison gas.

"Bang!!"

Dongye Huanglong expressionlessly kicked away a poisoned guard who grabbed his ankle begging for help, and ignored the pleas of other prisoners.

"The Punk Hazard poison gas explosion incident, I've finally waited for it!"

Dongye Huanglong quickly explored the passage leading out of the research facility, wanting to catch Caesar, the evil scientist who had killed him once.

How could he not avenge the killing blow?

He just didn't expect that Caesar, the guy who killed him, was also the one who indirectly saved him. It was Caesar who detonated the poison gas bomb, which now gave him the opportunity to escape Punk Hazard.

However, this did not affect Dongye Huanglong's determination to kill Caesar.

If he hadn't known his own life was tough enough, those terrifying experimental modifications would have been his death sentence. He would have ended up like those experimental prisoners, with graves several meters high by now.

For over two years, he had personally watched as they were transformed into grotesque experimental prisoners, dying in agony before his eyes.

Dozens of batches of experimental prisoners, hundreds or thousands of people, and only he had survived.

The despair and fear of facing death again and again had filled his heart, a transmigator, with endless darkness.

Dongye Huanglong walked through the purple poisonous fog with a cold expression, passing by distorted, poisoned, and dead guards. After passing several holding cells and observation rooms, he spotted a supply room.

In the blurry purple toxic gas, he suddenly saw a patterned apple locked inside a transparent glass case.

"This, this is the Artificial Azure Dragon Zoan Fruit?"

Dongye Huanglong's eyes narrowed, and without a word, he rushed in.

But the next moment, a scorching, massive flame shot out, violently blasting Dongye Huanglong away.

"Roar!!"

Within the purple poisonous fog, a giant flame dragon roared, its idiotic eyes fixed on the disheveled, unfamiliar human, Dongye Huanglong.

Clang!

Dongye Huanglong pushed aside broken bricks and crumbling walls in the ruins and stood up, his Lunarian flames burning fiercely.

"This stupid dragon can actually survive in the poison fog!"

Dongye Huanglong looked at the red giant dragon with icy eyes. As an important experimental subject in Punk Hazard, how could he not recognize this red giant dragon?

An artificial giant dragon created by Vegapunk!

Whoosh!

Dongye Huanglong's modified laser right eye erupted with light, and a terrifying laser beam instantly shot towards the artificial dragon's head.

Although Dongye Huanglong was merely an experimental subject, having undergone so many physical tests, his combat experience was no less than that of a pirate with a bounty over 100 million.

This was the struggle and effort he had made to escape Punk Hazard.

Bang!

After firing the laser, Dongye Huanglong instantly created a massive crater under his feet and vanished from his spot, charging forward at full speed. His bloated, thick arms and massive fists, carrying terrifying power, delivered the most ferocious blow to the artificial dragon.

The intellectually deficient artificial dragon, blinded by the sudden laser, had its eyes shot out. In pain, it rapidly flapped its wings, trying to escape into the air.

But as soon as it took flight, it was smashed down by a powerful, heavy fist.

"Brainless trash!"

Dongye Huanglong, as if venting, madly smashed the artificial dragon's head, splattering blood everywhere and eliciting continuous wails.

The artificial dragon struggled desperately but could not break free from Dongye Huanglong's terrifying strength.

The artificial dragon's ferocity made it realize who the strongest creature in Punk Hazard was!

This artificial dragon had extremely low intelligence and could only understand a few simple commands from its creator, Vegapunk.

It had even been sent to Mary Geoise before, for the Celestial Dragons to play with.

But because it was too stupid and uncontrollable, it almost injured a Celestial Dragon, and thus it was returned to Punk Hazard.

If it had any brains and could understand human speech, perhaps Dongye Huanglong would have subdued it and ridden it to escape Punk Hazard.

"Awesome, so strong!"

Dongye Huanglong stood in the blood, trembling with excitement. His entire body's blood had stained the white coat tied around his waist red, and it was still dripping blood.

He excitedly felt the terrifying power of his modified body, a stark contrast to the usual weakness after being injected with serums.

He was indeed the strongest experimental subject that even Vegapunk marveled at.

This combat power was even greater than future Pacifistas.

And the first batch of Pacifistas could deal with Supernovas with bounties of two to three hundred million.

This meant that Dongye Huanglong, with just the powerful strength of this body, was already on par with, or even stronger than, a Supernova.

If he learned Haki, he would directly rival pirates with bounties over 500 million!

He jumped off the dragon's head and delivered the final blow to the dying artificial dragon, punching through its head.

Dongye Huanglong looked at the dragon's corpse, roughly tore off a dragon thigh, and his Lunarian flames erupted.

Soon, Dongye Huanglong was ravenously tearing into the semi-cooked dragon meat, which was oozing blood.

After a full meal, he recovered most of his stamina and continued towards the supply room. He smashed the glass case with a punch and took the purple, patterned apple into his hand.

"Artificial Azure Dragon!"

Holding the artificial Devil Fruit, Dongye Huanglong's cold face revealed a hint of longing.

In his original world, how he longed to transform into a divine dragon and live freely.

This was probably why, after eating poisonous mushrooms, he mistook a truck for a divine dragon.

Because he, Dongye Huanglong, truly loved divine dragons. He was a genuine dragon enthusiast, not someone who only paid lip service to dragons.

During his time as a test subject, he had repeatedly tried to obtain this artificial Devil Fruit and find an opportunity to escape Punk Hazard, that hellhole.

To achieve this, he had pleaded with Vegapunk multiple times, volunteering to be the test subject for this artificial Devil Fruit.

But in the end, he didn't get his wish. Vegapunk wouldn't allow anyone to consume this "failed product."

Now that Punk Hazard had descended into chaos, Dongye Huanglong had finally succeeded in obtaining the fruit, but he no longer felt the urgency and determination he once had.

He wasn't sure how potent the potential of this artificial Devil Fruit was, or if it would affect his future strength.

At the same time, he didn't know if the bloodline factors within him would repel the Devil Fruit's abilities.

But the next moment, he thought of Queen of Plague and the Seraphim, and his gaze firmed up again.

He needed more power now to get revenge on Caesar and Gorosei Saturn.

Those two guys, one had taken his life, and the other had blown out his right eye!

He wouldn't be a man if he didn't avenge this!

Besides, he possessed so many powerful bloodlines. Even if the Artificial Azure Dragon ability had some flaws, the impact wouldn't be significant. At worst, he could focus on hand-to-hand combat and Haki in the future.

There was also another point: after undergoing the Lunarian Tribe bloodline modification experiment, he hadn't grown wings or turned white-haired with brown skin. He had only gained the Lunarian's adaptation to fire.

Therefore, he now needed a flying ability to escape Punk Hazard!

Most importantly, the divine dragon was the totem of his China.

Whether he was strong or not was temporary, but looking cool was a lifelong pursuit!

His eyes narrowed, and he no longer hesitated, directly biting into the Artificial Azure Dragon Zoan Fruit.

"Ah!!"

"Roar!!"

Dongye Huanglong let out a furious roar. His neck suddenly elongated, and a ferocious dragon head instantly appeared. His hands transformed into dragon claws, and his feet followed suit.

"Ah, damn it! It really is pink scales!"

Dongye Huanglong exclaimed in annoyance as he looked at the garish pink dragon scales on his body, finding it extremely unfitting for the majestic and divine aura of a dragon form.

But the next moment, orange-red Lunarian flames erupted from his dragon body and claws. Streaks of purple poison patterns spread across the pink dragon scales, making the entire dragon appear crimson.

As the dragon roared in anger, this crimson little dragon began to swell rapidly, blasting apart the entire laboratory. Its dragon horns became incredibly sharp, piercing the sky, and its dragon fangs grew immensely, becoming extremely sharp and ferocious.

"Could this be... could this be the failed Ancient Giant bloodline being reactivated? Does that mean..."

The crimson dragon's body continued to expand, and the immense power belonging to the Ancient Giant tribe and the Oni Tribe surged forth ceaselessly.

"Evil hahahaha!!"

A crimson divine dragon, thousands of meters long, burst through the research institute and appeared above the Punk Hazard facility.

Amidst excited laughter, the crimson dragon ascended into the sky, treading on purple-red flame clouds.

On the sea, many top scientists who had already evacuated Punk Hazard heard the terrifying dragon roar from their warships. They all looked towards the island in shock.
