One week later.
North Blue · Svalbard Island · Joy Town.
"I told you, I don't know them!"
An old man with white hair said stubbornly, refusing Dongye Huanglong's question without any fear.
"Wolf, do you think Law will come to save you if he knows you're in danger?"
Dongye Huanglong strolled through Wolf's laboratory, speaking slowly. Even Vegapunk had come out of Capone Bege's castle to learn from and draw inspiration from this inventor's many technologies.
This inventor's submarine technology was quite good and worth Dr. Vegapunk's study.
Not long ago, Dongye Huanglong and his crew arrived in the North Blue using Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability.
However, unable to find Trafalgar Law's whereabouts for a while, Dongye Huanglong had to bring a few people to this Svalbard Island.
On this island lived Trafalgar Law's benefactor, the inventor Wolf.
Even Law's submarine, the Polar Dive, was a sturdy metal submarine built by this Wolf.
After Dongye Huanglong and his crew landed on Svalbard Island, they quickly found the very famous kind-hearted Wolf in Joy Town.
Wolf had once found the treasure in the temple on Svalbard Island, giving him enough funds for research and to build the Polar Dive.
He also used the rest of the money to rebuild Joy Town, which had been destroyed by pirates.
After Dongye Huanglong found Wolf, Lafitte easily hypnotized the stubborn Wolf and found his underground research facility.
Inside this underground facility were many of Wolf's inventions, and below it was an underground port, the place where that submarine was built and docked.
In Wolf's laboratory, Dongye Huanglong even found a very complete Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.
This was also the reason Wolf could tell at a glance that Trafalgar Law possessed the Ope Ope no Mi back then.
"What do you want with Law?"
Wolf looked at Dongye Huanglong and his group with great vigilance, absolutely unwilling to let Law and the others fall into danger.
"You know my background, right? I am irreconcilable with the Celestial Dragons, and Law's Devil Fruit ability makes him destined to be coveted by the World Government.
Law and I are fated partners, and I understand Law's hatred better than you do.
Notify him for me. I can help him get revenge and take down Doflamingo, provided he joins my forces."
Dongye Huanglong grinned and said to Wolf. Lafitte, who had hypnotized Wolf, successfully found a Den Den Mushi in Wolf's secret bedroom. He narrowed his eyes and beckoned to Wolf.
"Old man, I think I also know Trafalgar Law's Den Den Mushi number. I suggest you listen to our captain."
A playful smile appeared on Lafitte's pale face. The person Dongye Huanglong was looking for this time seemed to be quite a remarkable fellow!
Lafitte's admiration for Dongye Huanglong's innate precognitive ability grew even stronger.
This boss was indeed the right choice!
"You!!!"
Wolf gritted his teeth as he looked at Dongye Huanglong and the others. He also saw the big-headed doctor flipping through his research results as quickly as counting money.
"Uh, sorry, it's connected."
Lafitte suddenly said with a smile. The Den Den Mushi in his hand had successfully connected to Trafalgar Law's Den Den Mushi.
"Old man, what do you need?"
Trafalgar Law's steady voice came from the other end. Law, now 22 years old, had already been leading the Heart Pirates for six years.
He had been active in the North Blue these past few years, gathering like-minded companions. He planned to strengthen his crew for another year or two before entering the Grand Line, and then seek revenge against Doflamingo!
"Law, don't answer..."
"Hello, Trafalgar Law, I am Dongye Huanglong, the man who declared war on the Celestial Dragons a few days ago.
I can help you deal with Doflamingo, the former Celestial Dragon. Are you interested in joining my ranks?"
Dongye Huanglong took the Den Den Mushi from Lafitte's hand, directly interrupting Wolf's words, and said to Trafalgar Law on the other end.
"What did you do to Wolf?"
Trafalgar Law's icy voice came through, conveying his anger.
He would never allow anyone to harm his benefactor, Wolf.
"He's unharmed and in good spirits."
Dongye Huanglong said calmly. Meanwhile, Vegapunk and some scientists were already packing up some of Wolf's rare materials and research results, enraging the old man Wolf, who was puffing out his beard and glaring.
However, soon after Wolf realized that this big-headed fellow was the legendary Vegapunk, his attitude changed drastically.
Vegapunk was universally recognized as the world's number one scientist, and now he was praising his submarine technology. This made Wolf, the inventor, feel a little proud.
"You just wait, I'll be back soon!"
Trafalgar Law was silent for a long time. It was only after he heard a bit of the conversation between Wolf and Vegapunk that he said coldly.
"I'll be waiting for you."
Dongye Huanglong also said calmly, and then the Den Den Mushi was hung up.
In a certain sea area of the North Blue, Law, with a somber expression, ordered the submarine to be activated, heading straight for Svalbard Island.
No matter what, he had to ensure the safety of Wolf, his benefactor.
As for cooperating with Dongye Huanglong, or even joining the Desolate Dragon Group, those were matters that still needed consideration.
However, this madman who dared to declare war on the Celestial Dragons could indeed dare to make a move against Doflamingo, one of the Shichibukai. This made him worth allying with.
What's more, he had only just learned that Doflamingo was actually a former Celestial Dragon!
No wonder he could seize the member states of Dressrosa without being dealt with by the World Government.
This made dealing with Doflamingo even more difficult.
He truly needed powerful allies and partners.
Meanwhile, Dongye Huanglong's lips curved into a slight smile as he waited for Trafalgar Law to come to him.
It would be best if he could subdue Law, but Dongye Huanglong would absolutely not let this Ope Ope no Mi user leave casually.
Even making him a candidate for a Seraphim would be acceptable.
After all, the Ope Ope no Mi ability was a Paramecia.
While Trafalgar Law hadn't arrived yet, Dongye Huanglong suddenly felt like causing some trouble and decided to pay a visit to the North Blue prison.
Actually, Wolf had a brutal son who became a pirate, named Buck. He seemed to be a user of either the Drunk-Drunk Fruit or the Dissolve-Dissolve Fruit, both Paramecia.
In any case, this ability allowed him to dissolve his own body, giving him some characteristics of a Logia, making him comparable to a special Paramecia.
He could also quickly dissolve enemy swords and even intangible things like people's hearts and minds, thereby controlling others.
This was another powerful Paramecia ability.
Law, along with Wolf and Bepo, had fought with all their might, nearly dying, before barely defeating this brutal individual who had returned defeated from the Grand Line.
After being arrested by the Marines, this guy wasn't sent to Impel Down but was kept imprisoned in the North Blue prison as a cautionary tale for pirates, a benchmark for deterrence.
Now, Dongye Huanglong intended to go to the North Blue prison to obtain this guy's bloodline factor, and incidentally, make a name for himself.
Most importantly, he wanted to mess with the World Government and the Marines.
He had flown from the West Blue to the North Blue again.
They wanted to surround them? Not a chance!
