In the Tontatta Kingdom, Princess Mansherry was persuading Gancio to move the entire Tontatta tribe to a Sky Island.

The primeval forest of God Island Apis could easily accommodate the entire Tontatta tribe.

Meanwhile, Leo and the other Tontatta warriors who had gone out to sea were boasting about their various adventurues, drawing envious glances and filled with longing from many Tontattas.

"Mansherry, what will happen to the King Riku's Royal Family if we all leave? Are we going to abandon Green Bit and make the King Riku's Royal Family abandon Dressrosa?"

Gancio was also very conflicted. If they could move the Tontatta tribe to a Sky Island, they would certainly be safer and live better lives. However, their allies, the King Riku's Royal Family, were being oppressed by the Donquixote Family. Princess Violet was forced to join the Donquixote Family and work for Doflamingo, while King Riku was fighting in the coliseum. Only Rebecca was living a difficult life outside, with only a Toy Soldier taking care of her. If the Tontattas didn't occasionally help Rebecca, she would likely have an even harder time.

"I suggest we send Princess Rebecca to a Sky Island too, so she can train with the other warriors," Leo said to Gancio. He had witnessed Bartholomew Kuma's power, and with Kuma's guidance, Princess Rebecca would surely fare better than fighting in the Dressrosa coliseum.

"That's right, Dongye Lando also promised Lord Law that he would overthrow the Donquixote Family within two years," Princess Mansherry added, recounting the feud between Trafalgar Law and Doflamingo.

"Then I'll go ask the Toy Soldier for his opinion," Gancio said after some thought. It seemed like taking Rebecca and the Toy Soldier to a Sky Island wasn't a bad idea; they could return with Law later. With that, he prepared to go find the Toy Soldier and Rebecca. They had a base in the flower fields of Dressrosa, which was where the Tontattas and Rebecca kept in contact.

"Hurry then, or Lord Dongye Lando will be leaving Dressrosa for another island soon," Mansherry urged. She had already given the order for the tribespeople who wished to go to the Sky Island to pack their belongings and prepare for the move. Almost all the young people and children were willing to leave Green Bit for a Sky Island. Only some of the elders, reluctant to leave their homeland, were hesitant. These elders were waiting for the final order from Chief Gancio; if the chief decided to move, they would have to leave with everyone else.

Hearing that the Tontatta chief Gancio was going to Dressrosa to discuss matters, Dongye Huanglong and his two companions also went to Dressrosa, planning to explore the underground port of Dressrosa and see what treasures they could seize.

Dressrosa - Underground Port.

A large number of toys were diligently moving various goods, with military arms being the most common.

"Hurry up! This time, our Country of Suna will show the Country of Flowers our might!" a general from the Country of Suna in West Blue shouted. Their country had officially declared war on the Country of Flowers. The Country of Flowers, a pirate nation, harbored pirate forces like the One to Eight Treasure Marines, making them very powerful. Therefore, they could only purchase powerful weapons from the territory of Yonko Kaido of the Beasts through the underground intermediary JOKER on a large scale to fight the Country of Flowers to the end. They were buying guns, ammunition, and even poison gas bombs in a frenzy, determined to defeat the Country of Flowers.

"Beep beep beep! Brother, with so much cargo, why don't you find help from our Sea Transport King's Deep Ocean Current Fleet to transport it? We happen to have a fleet going to West Blue, and I can give you a 10% discount if it's your first time doing business with us." A middle-aged man wearing a black double-horned captain's hat shouted to the general from the Country of Suna, trying to drum up business. After all, returning from Dressrosa in the New World to West Blue was not exactly safe.

"Hahaha~, it's safer to use our Hider's warehousing and transfer services," a tall, thin man holding a two-and-a-half-meter-long needle also chimed in. They had just received a large order from Doflamingo to transport goods to a certain island. However, they didn't mind taking on a couple more orders to earn more money.

"Kibokun, are you trying to die? Daring to steal business from our Deep Ocean Current Fleet!" Umio's nostrils puffed out two streams of white mist, and his fierce vertical pupils glared unhappily at his old rival.

"Hahaha! Business is about mutual agreement, you can't force customers, can you?" Kibokun was not afraid of the big guy at all. Their bosses were all Underworld Emperors, so who was afraid of whom? Besides, this was JOKER's territory, and he didn't believe Umio would dare to make a move in this underground port.

"Hmph!" Umio clenched his fist and held back. JOKER, the underground intermediary emperor, had a lot of influence now, operating in both legitimate and illegitimate circles. Not only had they established connections with the World Government and affiliated nations, but they had also opened up sales channels with the Yonko. Now, a portion of the business for the Sea Transport King and the Hider came from JOKER. This guy was also very smooth, maintaining good relationships with various Underworld Emperors, achieving a win-win situation where everyone made money together.

"Hehehehe, JOKER's connections are truly vast, to be able to handle so many slaves!"

A blond man in a mask descended, counting money and laughing heartily. Behind him, masked figures carried money chests, drawing significant attention.

"Those lunatics from the Drago Family, the kidnappers!"

Umio and Kibokun narrowed their eyes, watching the group bearing scythes like the Grim Reaper.

Their boss was the Grand Undertaker Drago Pairo, who controlled the New World's assassin industry, handling most of the killings, kidnappings, human trafficking, and organ trading... all those wicked deeds.

Compared to them, Sea Transport King Umit's Deep Ocean Current Fleet and Hider Kiberson's warehousing business were practically model citizens.

Although they occasionally engaged in betrayal among themselves, as businessmen, they generally followed the rules.

The arrogant Drago Family, openly carrying their money, boarded their yellow lion warship, preparing to leave JOKER's cargo hub.

Just then.

Crack!

With a sound of lightning, a bare-chested man with long ears suddenly appeared amidst the thunderous light on the central mast of the yellow lion warship.

"Yeahaha~, so many ants here!"

Enel grinned, his half-open, dead fish eyes excitedly looking at the targets he could now engage.

Whoosh!!

A flash of blade, and a masked man in yellow overalls, wielding a long-handled scythe, severed the stranger who dared to board their ship.

Crack crack!

"Truly arrogant!"

Enel's upper body flew into the air, but his face showed no fear. Instead, he glared ferociously at the masked man who had cut him in half.

Sixty Million Volts: Thunder Dragon!

Enel's upper and lower halves transformed into lightning elements, becoming a thunder dragon that sped towards the masked man still in mid-air.

"A Logia-type ability user!"

Umio and Kibokun, cadres of the Underworld Emperor, widened their eyes, looking at the unfamiliar man.
