Devil Sheriff Lafayette

On Nostra Island.

Dongye Huanglong and Capone Bege returned to this Mafia island aboard the Flame Tank Battleship Castro.

They did not need this warship for their trip to North Blue, so Bege could only sail his flagship back to their base first.

Capone Bege was also filled with curiosity about the upcoming "cross-sea tour."

"Godfather!! You're back!"

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

When Gunslinger Vit and Killer Gotti saw Capone Bege and Dongye Huanglong return, they hurriedly reported the intelligence from the island to Bege.

"Devil Sheriff Lafayette?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Dongye Huanglong's face. He had not expected to encounter that man here. Was it a coincidence?

"Didn't the boss want to recruit him? This is the perfect opportunity."

Capone Bege grinned around his cigar. Now that Dongye Huanglong had declared war on the Celestial Dragons, he naturally wanted this crew to grow as strong as possible.

Bang!

Just then, a body came crashing out of the bar. A Mafia member dressed in a black suit fell to the ground, blood spraying from his mouth and nose.

This scene made Capone Bege, Gunslinger Vit, and the others' expressions change drastically!

Someone actually dared to attack their men. They were simply courting death!

"Yo~, Boss Capone, how careless of you. CP Agents have already infiltrated your underlings."

At that moment, a flippant voice drifted out from the bar. A thin man in a black top hat slowly walked out, twirling a Noble Cane Sword.

His pale face carried an air of indifference and mockery toward life.

"CP Agents?"

Capone Bege frowned and gave a signal. Gunslinger Vit and Killer Gotti immediately rushed over to inspect the severely wounded Mafia subordinate.

"Greetings, powerful Mr. Huanglong! My name is Lafitte. It is an honor."

After glancing at Capone Bege, Lafitte quickly removed his top hat, bent at the waist, and gave Dongye Huanglong a respectful noble's bow, appearing every bit the elegant aristocrat.

But everyone in West Blue knew just how vile and cruel this man was.

During his time as a West Blue sheriff, he had brutally tortured and killed countless pirates and prisoners.

No matter how serious or minor their crimes, none could escape his vicious hands.

Because of his cruel, bloodthirsty nature, the kings of several allied nations had jointly expelled him.

"You came specifically to find me?"

Dongye Huanglong raised an eyebrow. After earning such a notorious reputation through his arrogance, he had actually attracted some madmen to seek him out.

"Mr. Huanglong, daring to declare war on the World Nobles is truly insane—truly thrilling.

I want to follow you and go mad for a while. Maybe then I'll get to kill a few kings and Marine Generals myself."

A trace of cruelty flashed in Lafitte's eyes. He had remembered every king who had expelled him.

If he had the chance and the strength, he would settle every grudge!

"Let me see what you can do."

Golden light flashed in Dongye Huanglong's eyes, lightning crackling from his hands as a powerful aura spread outward.

"Wait, wait, wait, Desolate Dragon Group Leader! I'm better at hypnosis and diplomacy. I'm no match for you!"

Frightened by Dongye Huanglong's imposing aura, Lafitte hurriedly retreated. A pair of white feathered wings rapidly grew from his back, lifting him off the ground.

He truly feared that Dongye Huanglong would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

This was a vicious criminal with a bounty of 500 million!

"I need obedient subordinates. Can you manage that?"

Dongye Huanglong smiled at Lafitte. The Laser Beams in his eyes were aimed at the flying Lafitte. If he dared to run, Huanglong would not let him go.

"Isn't that only natural, Captain?"

The clever Lafitte instantly understood Dongye Huanglong's meaning. Smiling, he descended to the ground, folded away his wings, and respectfully bowed to his new boss.

"Not bad. You're a smart man!"

"Come on, show us what you can do. Find a few more CP Agents and let's have some fun."

Dongye Huanglong withdrew his aura and smiled at this newcomer who had voluntarily joined them.

"As you wish, my captain!"

"Boss Capone, please have your men cooperate."

Lafitte spoke with a wild smile, while Capone Bege gathered all his men with a grim expression.

He did not know whether CP Agents had infiltrated his many members.

If they had, then he was in some danger.

These omnipresent spy agents could strike him fatally at the moment he least expected.

Lafitte looked at the Mafia members. His pupils transformed into hypnotic circular patterns resembling the Rinnegan, while his bewitching voice guided the underlings.

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

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

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

Dongye Huanglong suddenly asked Kuma. Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability could not only repel conceptual things such as injuries, illnesses, and pain, but could even copy and repel his own memories.

If it could be used on others, then any spy who came would die. And as for intelligence and memories, they could have whatever they wanted!

"I need to try."

Kuma replied calmly. He had never attempted to develop such techniques. It was only while treating countless elderly people and patients in the Sorbet Kingdom that he had developed moves like "Healing of Hidden Wounds."

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

Dongye Huanglong narrowed his eyes. If Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit could tamper with other people's memories, then Charlotte Pudding, the Memory-Memory Fruit User, did not seem so important after all.

Besides, Vegapunk's technology could also erase memories.

With these people, Dongye Huanglong could establish a massive force on the level of the Four Emperors in the shortest possible time and gradually launch assaults against the World Government.

Under Lafitte's hypnosis, the Mafia members fell victim one after another. Their minds grew hazy as they came under Lafitte's control and began muttering to themselves.

Unable to bear the pressure of this test, seven or eight Mafia members suddenly erupted and fled in all directions.

"Hmph. Kill them!"

Capone Bege gave the order with an icy expression. Gunslinger Vit and Killer Gotti immediately opened fire wildly, killing those fleeing traitors and infiltrators.

Dongye Huanglong and Kuma also acted in succession, using Laser Eyes and air cannons to knock down several fairly powerful men.

Swinging his cane sword, Lafitte walked toward the men who were not yet dead with a smile and began hypnotizing and interrogating them.

"Yo, there are pawns planted by the underground Dark World, as well as CP Agents from the World Government..."

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

"Your skills aren't bad. Welcome to the Desolate Dragon Group."

Dongye Huanglong said to Lafitte with a faint smile, formally taking in this navigator and diplomat.
