Subduing Vinsmoke

Dongye Huanglong's words made Reiju's pupils constrict sharply!

He actually wanted to kill the supreme commander of the Germa Kingdom and king of a World Government-affiliated nation.

"Gulp~"

"No!"

Reiju swallowed hard and answered with difficulty. The man's aura and gaze made her extremely uncomfortable.

Those golden Laser Eyes made even her skin sting.

"That's such a pity!"

"Then tell me, if I asked Judge to give you to me in exchange for his life, would he agree?"

Dongye Huanglong walked up to Reiju, pinched the pink-haired beauty's chin, and asked with a teasing smile.

"I don't know... I will accept any order from him!"

Reiju clenched her fists and turned her face away, speaking as though without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"I know where Sanji is. Are you interested in following me? I can help you escape Judge's control."

Dongye Huanglong pinched Reiju's cheek with a smile, then turned and walked toward the edge of the snail island ship, where he watched Judge drag Yongji ashore.

Boom!!

One of the island ship's structures was reduced to ruins beneath Kuma's enormous Ursa Shockwave, while Spark Red Ichiji was slapped to the ground by Kuma.

A massive bear paw imprint appeared in the ground, crushing Ichiji deep underground.

Ichiji was now battered and bleeding, his glasses shattered, yet his eyes remained defiant.

But against Kuma's terrifying strength and repelling power, Ichiji's right arm had been completely twisted out of shape, leaving him with less than half his ability to resist.

Elsewhere, Capone Bege, the Castle Human, was taking Electric Blue Niji's attacks head-on, while Law and Lafitte continuously carved wounds into Niji from the flanks, leaving numerous gashes in the combat suit made of Memory Metal.

"I refuse to believe I can't cut you!"

ROOM: Amputate!

Law gripped the Demon Blade Kikoku and continuously charged up his attack. Seizing the moment when Niji kicked Bege away, he slashed at Niji's long leg.

Clang!

As the blade flashed, a lower leg flew into the air before the delighted eyes of the others, while Niji stared in shock at his severed limb.

"How could this be?! Impossible!"

Electric Shock Punch!

A massive surge of electricity erupted from Niji's body as he furiously blasted Trafalgar Law away with both fists.

Having lost a leg, Niji was deeply unaccustomed to it, and Lafitte had already swept his severed leg far away with his wings.

"I'll kill you!"

Electric Flying Kick!

Consumed by rage, Niji charged madly at Law, the culprit behind it all. Bege and Lafitte both wore savage smiles. Their chance had come.

"Law!"

The two rushed toward Niji's back, launching an attack on the powerful Cyborg from behind.

"I know!"

ROOM: Exchange!

ROOM: Amputate!

Law understood their intentions as well. In an instant, he switched places with Bege, letting the Castle Human take Niji's fierce frontal blow while he moved behind Niji and severed his right arm with another slash.

Then Law exchanged places with Lafitte and continued by cutting off Niji's left arm with another slash.

By the time Niji kicked Bege away, he had become a helpless beast with only one leg left.

"From now on, you're our toy!"

Capone Bege wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Niji's strength really was formidable; even his castle had nearly failed to withstand it.

But next, the three of them would take their revenge by using Niji as a punching bag.

Seeing that the battle was decided, Dongye Huanglong and Kuma both nodded lightly.

These three had some skill after all. At least they were not so useless that they could not defeat a single Cyborg.

Meanwhile, Judge looked at the large number of fallen clone soldiers, his expression turning extremely ugly.

"Conqueror's Haki!"

Judge gritted his teeth. His soldiers could clearly withstand ordinary Conqueror's Haki; seven or eight years ago, they had even endured Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki.

Why had so many fallen beneath the Conqueror's Haki of Dongye Huanglong, this experimental subject?

Could Dongye Huanglong's Conqueror's Haki be far stronger than Doflamingo's?

If that was the case, then his numbers-based tactics were completely meaningless.

"Why are you attacking us?!"

Judge rose to his feet with an Electromagnetic Spear in hand, tossing the heavily injured Yongji aside as he glared fixedly at Dongye Huanglong.

He did not invoke his identity as the king of a World Government-affiliated nation, nor did he use the World Government or the Navy to threaten Dongye Huanglong, because this man was a ruthless figure who had declared war on the Celestial Dragons.

"I need some experimental equipment. I was worried you wouldn't cooperate, so I let you see our strength first."

Dongye Huanglong spoke indifferently. Meanwhile, under the protection of Leo, Bepo, and the others, Doctor Vegapunk had also boarded the Saint Germain.

"It's you! Vegapunk! You actually escaped the World Government's control!!"

The moment Judge saw Vegapunk's enormous head, he cried out. He had never imagined that Vegapunk was the one behind Dongye Huanglong.

No wonder the World Government's recent news had been so strange, as though it had been relentlessly targeting Dongye Huanglong. It turned out Vegapunk had escaped.

"Old friend, I came to borrow some cloning equipment and materials. I hope you won't refuse."

Vegapunk glanced at Dongye Huanglong, then spoke to Judge with a smile.

Back then, M-Team had even robbed banks for research funding.

Come to think of it, Vegapunk had once been a robber too.

"You wanted equipment, so why attack us?!"

Judge gritted his teeth in fury. His three sons had been seriously injured, a large number of clone soldiers were wounded, and several Snail Sea Ships had been destroyed. How much money would that cost him?

"We were worried you wouldn't agree."

Vegapunk gave an awkward laugh. There was nothing he could do; he was now working under Dongye Huanglong and did not have much decision-making authority.

"You must trade the technology in his body for it!"

Judge glanced at Dongye Huanglong before turning to Vegapunk. He was truly covetous of Dongye Huanglong, this experimental subject.

If he had several experimental subjects as powerful as Dongye Huanglong under his command, his Germa Kingdom could become as strong as one of the Four Emperors in no time.

Then the Vinsmoke Family could dominate the North Blue with overwhelming force and fulfill their dream of unifying the North Blue.

"Do you have the capital to negotiate terms right now?"

At that moment, Dongye Huanglong stepped forward and directly grabbed Judge by the throat.

"Vegapunk, bring the science team. Whatever you see here that you want, move it out."

Dongye Huanglong spoke expressionlessly, then threw Judge aside.

"And if you're not afraid of the World Government, I'll give you an opportunity to cooperate.

You secretly gather supplies for us, and I'll provide all the funding and some powerful technology. I can even help you build a stronger Germa Kingdom!"

Dongye Huanglong spoke to the livid Judge, even calling Reiju over to massage him.

Seeing that her father and brothers were in Dongye Huanglong's hands, Reiju could only obediently walk behind Huanglong and knead the shoulders and back of this brutal man.

"You possess Artificial Devil Fruit technology and Bloodline Fusion Technology? I want those!"

Judge's expression remained conflicted for a long time, as though he were making a choice between the World Government and Dongye Huanglong.

If it was merely a secret partnership with Dongye Huanglong to gather supplies for them, then this business could still be done.

At the very least, he could retain his status as the ruler of a World Government-affiliated nation on the surface, then use the black, white, and gray channels to gather all kinds of resources.
