On Nostra Island.

Dongye Huanglong and Capone Bege, along with others, returned to the Mafia island aboard the Flame Tank Battleship Castro.

They hadn't needed the battleship for their trip to the North Blue, so Bege had brought his flagship back to their base first.

Capone Bege was also full of curiosity about the upcoming 'cross-sea journey.'

"Godfather! You're back!"

"Godfather, that Devil Sheriff is on the island!"

Gunslinger Vit and Killer Gotti saw Capone Bege and Dongye Huanglong return and quickly reported the island's intelligence to Bege.

"Devil Sheriff Lafitte?"

Dongye Huanglong showed a hint of surprise on his face. He hadn't expected to encounter that guy here. Was it a coincidence?

"Boss, didn't you want to recruit him? Now's the perfect opportunity."

Capone Bege said with a smile, biting on his cigar. With Dongye Huanglong declaring war on the Celestial Dragons, he naturally wanted his crew to be as strong as possible.

"Bang!"

Just then, a body smashed out of the bar, and a Mafia member in a black suit fell to the ground, blood gushing from his nose and mouth.

This scene caused Capone Bege and Gunslinger Vit's expressions to change drastically!

Someone dared to lay hands on their people? This was practically suicidal!

"Yo~, Boss Bege, how careless of you. CP Agents have infiltrated your ranks."

At that moment, a flippant voice echoed through the bar. A slender man wearing a black top hat slowly emerged, twirling a Noble Cane Sword.

A pallid face was etched with a disregard for life and a hint of mockery.

"CP Agent?"

Capone Bege frowned. He gave a signal, and Gunslinger Vit and Killer Gotti immediately rushed over to check on the severely injured Mafia subordinate.

"Greetings, powerful Mr. Huanglong! My name is Lafitte, a pleasure to meet you."

After glancing at Capone Bege, Lafitte quickly removed his hat, bowed, and offered Dongye Huanglong a respectful noble bow, like a true, elegant aristocrat.

However, those in the West Blue knew just how vile and cruel this man was.

During his tenure as Sheriff of the West Blue, he had tortured and killed countless pirates and criminals.

Regardless of the severity of their crimes, none escaped his deadly grasp.

Due to his cruel and bloodthirsty nature, the kings of several allied nations had jointly petitioned for his expulsion.

"Are you here specifically for me?"

Dongye Huanglong raised an eyebrow and said. After building his reputation as an arrogant madman, he was indeed attracting some lunatics to seek him out.

"Mr. Huanglong daring to declare war on the World Nobles is truly insane, so exciting. I want to follow you on this madness. Perhaps I can take down a few kings and Marine Generals then."

A cruel glint appeared in Lafitte's eyes. He had not forgotten the kings who had expelled him. If he had the chance and the strength, he would settle old scores!

"Let me see what you've got."

Golden light flashed in Dongye Huanglong's eyes, and crackling lightning erupted from his hands. A powerful aura spread outwards.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Commander Huanglong, I'm better at hypnosis and diplomacy. I'm no match for you!"

Lafitte, startled by Dongye Huanglong's aura, quickly retreated. A pair of white feathered wings rapidly grew from his back, and he lifted off the ground. He was indeed a little afraid that Dongye Huanglong might attack without a word. This was a criminal with a bounty of 500 million!

"I need subordinates who will obey me. Can you do that?"

Dongye Huanglong looked at Lafitte and smiled. The Laser Beam in his eyes was aimed at the flying Lafitte; if he dared to escape, Huanglong wouldn't let him go.

"Isn't that a given, Commander!"

The intelligent Lafitte instantly understood Dongye Huanglong's meaning. He landed with a smile, retracted his wings, and bowed respectfully to his new boss.

"Not bad, a smart man!"

"Come on, show me your skills. Find a few more CP Agents to play with."

Dongye Huanglong retracted his aura and said with a smile to the newcomer who had actively pledged his allegiance.

"As you wish, my Commander!"

"Boss Bege, please have your subordinates cooperate."

Lafitte said with a wicked grin, while Capone Bege, with a grim expression, gathered all his subordinates. He didn't know if there were any CP Agents mixed among his many members. If there were, he was in a bit of danger.

These ubiquitous spy agents would deliver a fatal blow at the most unexpected moment.

Lafitte looked at the Mafia members, his pupils transforming into the hypnotic circles of the Rinnegan, his devilishly charming voice guiding his subordinates.

"Is this guy's Bird-Bird Fruit ability some kind of Mythical Zoan?"

Dongye Huanglong watched Lafitte's performance with great interest. This guy's ability might not be an ordinary Zoan; it was truly mysterious.

"Speaking of Kuma, your Paw-Paw Fruit ability can repel your own memories. Can it repel other people's memories too?"

Dongye Huanglong suddenly said to Kuma. This guy's Paw-Paw Fruit ability could not only repel conceptual things like injuries, illnesses, and pain, but it could even replicate and repel his own memories.

If it could be used on others, then any spy would be dealt with, and he could have any intelligence or memory he wanted!

"I need to try it."

Kuma said calmly. He hadn't tried developing these skills yet. He had developed techniques like 'Yin Injury Healing' in the Sorbet Kingdom to treat many elderly and sick people.

"Then develop it well. Your ability is powerful and bizarre!"

Dongye Huanglong narrowed his eyes and said. If Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit could affect other people's memories, then Charlotte Pudding, the memory-devil-fruit user, didn't seem so important anymore.

Moreover, Vegapunk's scientific technology could also achieve memory erasure.

With these few individuals, Dongye Huanglong could establish a vast Yonko-level force in the shortest possible time, gradually launching an assault on the World Government.

Under Lafitte's hypnosis, the Mafia members one by one fell under the spell, their minds becoming dazed. Controlled by Lafitte, they began to mutter to themselves.

This bizarre scene caused some members to be unable to bear the pressure of the test. Seven or eight Mafia members suddenly erupted and fled in all directions.

"Hmph, kill them!"

Capone Bege ordered with a cold expression. Gunslinger Vit and Killer Gotti immediately opened fire madly, killing these escaped traitors and rebels.

Dongye Huanglong and Kuma also made their moves, knocking down several strong individuals with Laser Beams and air cannons.

Lafitte swung his cane sword, smiling as he approached those who were not yet dead, and began to hypnotically interrogate them.

"Well, there are pawns planted by the underground dark world, and there are CP Agents from the World Government..."

As Lafitte interrogated them one by one, he soon learned their identities.

"You're quite capable. Welcome to the Desolate Dragon Group."

Dongye Huanglong said to Lafitte with a faint smile, officially accepting this navigator and diplomat.
