Law Joins

Dongye Huanglong strode toward the heavily wounded Trafalgar Law, who was coughing up blood, wantonly releasing his Conqueror's Haki as black-red lightning spread through the area.

"With your current strength, taking revenge on Doflamingo is basically impossible."

Dongye Huanglong's long Dragon Tail swiftly coiled around Law's slender body. Looking at Law's defiant expression, he spoke indifferently.

ROOM: Amputate!

Provoked by Huanglong's contemptuous gaze, Law forcibly activated his Ope Ope no Mi ability and slashed at Dongye Huanglong's Dragon Tail.

But something that shocked Law happened.

The Ope Ope no Mi ability, which could cut through anything, was actually stopped by the Dragon Scale. Sparks flew continuously, yet it could not cut through at all.

"The Ope Ope no Mi ability isn't invincible. If someone's defense is strong enough, or their Haki is strong enough, you won't be able to cut them."

Dongye Huanglong grinned. His fist crackled with lightning as he slammed it into this unruly fellow.

"Aah!!"

Trafalgar Law cried out in agony, his eyes nearly rolling back as blood continuously seeped from the corner of his mouth. He could feel that his body had suffered massive trauma and needed treatment quickly.

"Please let Law go! Please..."

At that moment, Wolf ran over anxiously and repeatedly begged Huanglong for mercy. He even tried to pry apart the thick Dragon Tail coiled around Law, but the current running through it quickly shocked him to the ground.

"I'm only making this guy recognize the gap in our strength."

Dongye Huanglong's Dragon Claw gripped Law's shoulder. Purple patterns surged across his Dragon Scale, and Law's arm immediately turned purple as Huanglong's deadly poison entered his body.

"Even with the Ope Ope no Mi ability, purging poison won't be easy, right?"

Dongye Huanglong released his Dragon Tail and tossed Law onto the ground, speaking casually.

The Ope Ope no Mi ability was more effective at treating external injuries, but purging this deadly poison would still take Law a long time.

"You!!"

Law immediately activated his Ope Ope no Mi ability and cut off his poisoned arm to prevent the toxin from spreading through his body.

"So, our strength is pretty good, isn't it?

Oh, right. Kuma is no weaker than Doflamingo. Joining us now is the right choice."

Dongye Huanglong casually waved out a Flame Cloud, sat on it carelessly, and looked down at Law and Wolf.

Trafalgar Law stared at Dongye Huanglong, his expression shifting uncertainly.

He now had a certain understanding of Huanglong and the others' strength. They truly had the power to deal with Doflamingo.

But he did not want to disband the Heart Pirates, nor did he want to part ways with Bepo, Penguin, and the others.

"Law, hurry up and treat your arm!"

Wolf stared anxiously at Law's severed purple arm. If this dragged on any longer, that arm would be completely ruined.

"I'll join you with my subordinates. You have a responsibility to help us grow stronger, and I want to keep the Heart Pirates' flag!"

Trafalgar Law threw his poisoned arm to Dongye Huanglong and spoke with a resolute gaze. The Heart Pirates were the lifeblood he had built with his companions; he would not let them disappear.

"Bege's Mafia is still around. One more pirate crew makes no difference."

Dongye Huanglong spoke blandly. The poisonous patterns on his palm writhed, drawing the poison back out of the severed arm before he tossed it back to Law.

Like putting together a toy, Law directly reattached the severed arm to his body.

Kuma, Bege, Lafitte, and the others clicked their tongues in amazement at the sight. This Ope Ope no Mi ability was truly bizarre.

Meanwhile, big-headed Vegapunk's eyes gleamed. He had long wanted to cut off his ever-growing head, which had already seriously affected his research.

With the Ope Ope no Mi ability and his medical knowledge, it seemed his clone project could finally be put into action.

"Since Law is going to follow you, please take me with you as well. I'm willing to become Doctor Vegapunk's assistant."

Seeing that Law was joining Dongye Huanglong's forces, Wolf spoke up as well.

On the one hand, he did not want to be separated from Law and the others. On the other, he wanted to stay by Doctor Vegapunk's side to research and learn more.

"Welcome, welcome! Your mechanical and submarine technologies are excellent. I look forward to working with you."

Doctor Vegapunk immediately clasped Wolf's hand and spoke happily. He had just discovered blueprints for an aircraft among Wolf's research materials, which greatly interested him.

With an inventor who shared his ambitions, he would surely come up with even more brilliant ideas in the future.

"Then let's go together. Our next target is the Vinsmoke Family of Germa 66!"

Dongye Huanglong casually recruited this old inventor. Even having him build submarines would be quite useful.

"You're going after Germa?"

Law stared at Dongye Huanglong in shock. Germa's evil army was the nightmare of the entire North Blue.

Law himself had longed to obtain a Germa combat suit that could transform.

Countless people in the North Blue had been captivated by the Germa warriors featured in serialized comics.

Law, Hawkins, Drake, and other Supernovas were all fans of transforming combat suits.

"They have ready-made cloning machines and modification equipment there. I think you'll like them, Vegapunk."

Dongye Huanglong said with a faint smile. If he could take them by force, then of course that was more convenient.

"Judge's things? But his clone army and Cyborg soldiers are not to be underestimated. You need to prepare thoroughly."

Vegapunk also knew that Judge had used Lineage Factor technology to build an evil army that had caused plenty of bloodshed in the North Blue. He was rather disgusted by such slaughter.

The power of science should be used to protect humanity and develop productivity, not for killing and violence.

"Then pack up and prepare to leave.

Law, go make arrangements for your subordinates as well. Before long, we'll be heading to the Grand Line."

Dongye Huanglong quickly made the arrangements. He also had Kuma take Law to discuss with Vegapunk how to improve Bonney's treatment plan and speed up her recovery.

When Princess Mansherry and the Tontatta learned that Law also deeply hated Doflamingo, they quickly became acquainted with him.

Law also liked Mansheli, who possessed the Heal-Heal Fruit. He felt that combining the Ope Ope no Mi ability with the Heal-Heal Fruit was simply a perfect match.

With Vegapunk's medical knowledge and wisdom added to the mix, they felt they could cure any disease!

The smile on Kuma's face grew ever brighter. The sooner Bonney was cured, the happier he would be.

During the remaining time before their departure, Dongye Huanglong continued training his Haki, especially his relatively weak Observation Haki.

Lafitte and Capone Bege were also following Dongye Huanglong to learn the two types of Haki.

To stay beside a world-class wanted criminal like Dongye Huanglong, they needed enough strength. Otherwise, they would sooner or later be taken out by CP Agents or Marine Generals.

Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Upon receiving news that Dongye Huanglong had attacked a North Blue prison, Sengoku the Buddha was furious.

How had this Dongye Huanglong gone from the West Blue to the North Blue again?!

Dongye Huanglong's Artificial Azure Dragon ability and Tyrant Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability made their movements far too fast. The World Government and Marines found it difficult to hunt them down.

These abilities gave Sengoku the Buddha and Staff Officer Tsuru a terrible headache. They had no idea how to deal with them; they were even more troublesome than Golden Lion Shiki.
