Establishing a Base for Development

"Clang!"

With Dongye Huanglong's permission, the Golden Bell of Shandora was struck once. The sound wasn't loud enough to reach Jaya Island ten thousand meters below, but it successfully ended the four-hundred-year conflict between the Shandia Tribe and the Angel Tribe.

Sky Island officially entered the era of Dongye Huanglong's rule.

Vegapunk, that guy, saw the Poneglyph beneath the Golden Bell. He was also familiar with ancient text. He saw the information that Poseidon would be born on Fish-Man Island, and even saw a message left by Roger.

This made Vegapunk even more interested in the Poneglyphs, desperately wanting to know about the history of the Void Century.

Under Dongye Huanglong's command, the people of Sky Island worked with all their might to build a laboratory for Vegapunk, and the progress on the Ark Maxim didn't fall behind either.

Thanks to Kuma's help, the laboratory for treating Bonney was completed immediately. The experimental equipment obtained from Egghead Island and Germa 66 was all moved out from within Capone Bege's castle.

Vegapunk and numerous scientists quickly established a complete research institute.

Vegapunk immediately used the cloning devices to create a few clones of himself.

With things initially stabilized, everyone began their own training.

Kuma also took the time to visit the Germa army with Capone Bege, handing over a batch of gold to Vinsmoke Judge and bringing back a batch of new experimental equipment needed by Vegapunk.

With money, Judge also began his own development and helped Vegapunk collect resources.

In a training ground.

Dongye Huanglong was engaged in a fierce battle with Kuma. The terrifying destructive power made Law and Bege look on with admiration.

"How about it, want to join us?"

Dongye Huanglong, exuding the terrifying aura after the battle, walked towards Thunder God Enel, who was bound with Seastone handcuffs.

"The power that could hit my God Body, is that called Armament Haki?"

Enel stared intently at Dongye Huanglong and Kuma. These two had defeated him in an instant, which made him extremely angry.

Moreover, this man who could transform into a giant dragon could not only use lightning, but also fire and lasers.

His abilities were more god-like than his own.

"That's right! And on the Blue Sea, guys like you are called Logia-type ability users. On the sea below, Logia-type users who wield magma, ice, and lasers are much stronger than you."

Dongye Huanglong said with a smile. To be honest, he really couldn't bear to treat Enel, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, as a mere experimental subject.

If he had the chance, he'd also want to recruit this man who had mastered the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to such an extent.

"Hmph! If you hadn't ambushed me, I wouldn't have been hit by you!"

Enel was extremely unconvinced. He was very confident in his speed. Falling into the hands of these two men this time was indeed due to his carelessness.

"Indeed, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's speed is very fast, and its attack range is also very wide, which is why we defeated you so quickly!"

Dongye Huanglong praised the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's abilities. If Enel had been on guard from the beginning, it would have been very troublesome for Huanglong and Kuma to capture him.

"Watch us get stronger carefully. Perhaps in the future, you'll be able to defeat them."

Dongye Huanglong continued to train Law, Lafitte, Bege, and the others in dual Haki.

"Hmph!"

Enel still refused to yield. As a god, he would not surrender to a person from the Blue Sea.

"Huanglong, find a way to get some hard metal back, preferably rare Memory Metal. Judge either doesn't want to give it, or truly doesn't have any!"

At this moment, Dr. Vegapunk, carrying a large head, hurried to find Dongye Huanglong. The quality of his clones couldn't be compromised; they had to be durable enough to fight and withstand attacks.

"Memory Metal?"

Dongye Huanglong thought for a moment, as if he remembered something. How could he have forgotten about that?

"Got it. I'll quickly find someone who can mass-produce Memory Metal!"

Dongye Huanglong said calmly. After so many days, it was time to go out to sea and make his presence known.

"Really? That's great! Remember to get it back quickly!"

Vegapunk said with surprise. Memory Metal was extremely precious. Judge had obtained some and used it all to create technological combat suits, maximizing its utility.

"I'll go right away," Dongye Huanglong said casually.

"Law, where are Bepo and the others? Prepare to pick them up."

Dongye Huanglong remembered the submarine. It seemed he needed to quietly take control of Jaya Island and establish a base there to develop submarines.

Then they would have comprehensive development across sea, land, and air.

"They're almost there. I'll have Kuma escort me down to Jaya Island then."

Trafalgar Law was training Armament Haki, sweating profusely, preparing for his revenge against Doflamingo.

"You and Lafitte will go down to Jaya Island and fight. Find a way to occupy this island."

Dongye Huanglong commanded. He wasn't sure if Hyena Bellamy, with a bounty of 55 million Belly, had taken over Mock Town yet.

However, that guy's strength was just right to be an opponent for Law and Lafitte.

"Understood!"

Law and Lafitte said, ready to head down to Jaya Island. It was just a small test, and they were confident they could complete the mission.

As for that guy Bege, he was temporarily following Kuma, acting as a cargo ship, transporting goods back and forth between Sky Island and Germa 66 in the North Blue.

"Kuma, send me to Drum Island!"

After arranging things, Dongye Huanglong said directly to Kuma. He wanted to save as much time as possible.

However, he would have to fly back alone later.

"Alright!"

Kuma didn't ask any further questions. He activated his Paw-Paw Fruit ability and sent Dongye Huanglong flying with a palm strike.

These past few days, while he went to the North Blue, Dongye Huanglong had guarded Sky Island. Now that Huanglong was leaving, it was up to him to guard Sky Island. One of them had to be here.

Inside a rapidly flying bear paw bubble, Dongye Huanglong could still look at the scenery outside.

"Finally established my own territory. The next step is continuous development!"

Dongye Huanglong grinned, finally relaxing for a rare moment. At the same time, he was preparing to make a move on his targets.

Golden Emperor Tesoro, Pirate Empress Boa Hancock – they would both be potential cadres for his faction.

How could he not recruit them if he was going to be a slave to the Celestial Dragons?

Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters in Marineford, Sengoku the Buddha was feeling a bit agitated. The Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons were both pressuring him, ordering him to capture Dongye Huanglong as soon as possible.

But ever since Dongye Huanglong attacked the North Blue Prison and stole a Devil Fruit user prisoner, he had vanished without a trace.

Now, no one knew where they were.

Furthermore, with the abilities of the Paw-Paw Fruit and the Artificial Azure Dragon, they were incredibly difficult to capture, and they were powerless for now.

What's more, even the World Government's CP Agents couldn't find any trace of them. They could only deploy more agents within the West Blue Mafia, hoping to find an opportunity to capture Dongye Huanglong through Capone Bege.
