"Call me Boss or Captain from now on!"
Dongye Huanglong helped the man up, then handed him a red apple. This apple-loving fellow had neither seen nor eaten an apple in his current memories.
"Boss God? Captain God? Then I'll call you Boss God and Captain God from now on!"
Enel said earnestly. This god was far too powerful; even his lightning body had been beaten into helpless submission. He surely had not even used all his abilities yet.
Because he had not used that flame power.
"Thank you for your gift, Boss God!"
Enel took the apple and spoke, then cautiously took a bite. His eyes immediately lit up.
It was so sweet, with his favorite crisp texture. It was a delicacy he had never tasted before.
"Delicious! Thank you, Boss God!"
Enel thanked him again and quickly ate the apple. As for why he liked calling the new god Boss God, perhaps it was because he did not quite understand the word "boss." It sounded grander and more mysterious than Captain God.
Only after seeing that Enel was unlikely to be putting on an act did Dongye Huanglong bring his new subordinate over to introduce him to the others again.
Vegapunk, Kuma, and the others also tactfully got acquainted again with this Rumble-Rumble Fruit User who had "turned over a new leaf."
Capone Bege, Law, and the others had not expected Dongye Huanglong to actually tame this lofty "god"!
Still, it was a good thing. The addition of a Rumble-Rumble Fruit User would only make their crew stronger and stronger.
At another small meeting, Dongye Huanglong briefly explained Enel's situation and told them not to bring up the past.
Dongye Huanglong also intended to keep Enel by his side often, training him into a powerful combatant and limiting his contact with the people of the Sky Islands.
However, this fellow was arrogant too. He could not be bothered with anyone weaker than himself.
In Enel's eyes, he bore the title of Thunder God. He was naturally several levels above those people, and all he needed to do was obey Boss God's orders.
Seeing Enel's haughty attitude, Law, Bege, Lafitte, and the others could not be bothered with him either.
But before long, Enel gained someone else he respected: Kuma, who taught him Armament Haki.
He even called Kuma Bear God, placing him on the same level as himself. As expected of Boss God's right-hand man.
After several days of adjustment, Enel had more or less integrated into the group.
"It's time to go disgust Saturn again."
Seeing that Enel had recovered most of his combat power, Dongye Huanglong prepared to set out once more.
This time, aside from picking up another group of Tontatta from Green Bit, they also had to head to Punk Hazard and bring back the lineage factor extractor to prepare for planting Artificial Devil Fruits.
"Bege, you're coming with me this time too."
Dongye Huanglong naturally had not forgotten this cargo hauler. They really did need his giant castle to transport goods this time.
"Understood."
Capone Bege bit down on his cigar and spread his hands. He had already accepted his fate as a cargo box. During this period, he and Kuma had gone to Germa in the North Blue to haul supplies.
Moreover, his Flame Tank Pirates had narrowly evaded the Marines' encirclement and safely entered the Grand Line.
They only needed some more time to reach Jaya Island.
That put him in a fairly good mood.
Princess Mansherry, Leo, and the other Tontatta warriors also wanted to return, preferably to persuade the entire Tontatta tribe to come along.
They would head to Green Bit first, then go to Punk Hazard themselves, since Kuma only had location markers for Dressrosa and Green Bit.
It was Enel's first time leaving the Sky Islands, and he looked somewhat curious.
Because he had lost the memories of ruling the Sky Islands, he had also forgotten his dream of the Endless Earth. For now, he had no particular goal.
Dongye Huanglong set a small goal for him: master Armament Haki, then make the title of Thunder God known across the seas.
Enel was extremely confident about this. He would let this sea witness the power of the Thunder God!
After Kuma slapped Bege, carrying everyone inside him, flying away, he continued guarding their home and protecting his beloved Bonney.
After Dongye Huanglong left, Law also went down to Jaya Island, took his Heart Pirates, and roamed the nearby waters.
Lafitte continued consolidating his secret rule over Jaya Island.
On the Sky Islands, only the two bodyguards Sentomaru and Vivi remained, along with little Aisha, who was diligently training.
New World, Green Bit Island.
As a massive bear-paw crater appeared in the ground, Capone Bege crawled out from inside it.
Dongye Huanglong and the others then emerged one after another. The excited Princess Mansherry, Leo, and the other Tontatta warriors immediately ran back to the Tontatta Kingdom to persuade Gancio and have more of their people move to the peaceful Sky Islands.
On the Sky Islands, the Tontatta would no longer need to hide. They could live openly among the larger humans.
"Boss, should we rob Doflamingo? I heard that Shichibukai is very rich."
Capone Bege clenched his cigar between his teeth, golden light flashing in his eyes as excitement appeared on his face. Taking down a Shichibukai and pulling an Emperor of the Sea from his throne was the dream of every ambitious pirate.
"Once the Tontatta make their decision, we'll head to Dressrosa and cause a scene. That underground port should have plenty of good stuff!"
Dongye Huanglong smiled as well. As an intermediary in the underground Dark World, Doflamingo handled a great deal of goods every day.
Perhaps some of it included rare resources Vegapunk needed.
Since they were already here, how could they not do a little looting?
"I love how reckless you are, Boss!"
Capone Bege grinned. This boss even dared to kill Celestial Dragons, so what was there that he would not dare to do?
Robbing a Shichibukai was nothing at all!
"Are we going to destroy something? Boss God, I want to try my strongest move."
Enel was also extremely excited. Lightning flashed in his eyes. He had originally developed a powerful technique capable of destroying Bika.
But before he could use it, Bika had already been destroyed, and even he himself had been captured by Boss God.
"Then destroy this King's Highland and announce the arrival of the Thunder God to the world."
Dongye Huanglong laughed loudly. In truth, he also wanted to exchange a few moves with Doflamingo and see just how strong this former Celestial Dragon with all Three Types of Haki really was.
His awakened String-String Fruit ability should be quite formidable, right?
"Then I won't hold back."
Excited light shone from Enel's dead-fish eyes. He wanted to see just how terrifying his strongest move was.
At that moment, on King's Highland, Doflamingo was also exceedingly excited.
"Fuffuffuffu! Did you really get him out?!"
Doflamingo sat crouched on his throne, holding a Den Den Mushi with three fingers as he grinned.
"He successfully escaped the G-5 Fortress prison. I arranged a small boat for his escape."
A deep, magnetic voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, its tone exceptionally steady.
"I won't forget what you've done, my family."
Doflamingo said with a smile, his eyes already filled with plans to retrieve the world's second-greatest scientist and begin his Artificial Devil Fruit enterprise.
"Don't mention it, Doffy. We're family."
