Hearing that the Marines were also on their way, Dongye Huanglong calmed down a little. He had come today to take away the Tontatta and rob the place while he was at it, not to wage an all-out war against Doflamingo.

Otherwise, he would have brought Tyrant Kuma and Law along as well.

Right now, he needed time to take the Tontatta away. There was little point in continuing the fight.

He did not know who the Marines had sent, and that made things dangerous.

"Then there's no problem with me taking that maid away, right? Also, give me a few Devil Fruits!"

Dongye Huanglong reined in some of his violent aura. Although he had no time to keep tangling with Doflamingo, that did not stop him from squeezing out more benefits.

"I can sell you a few Devil Fruits, but that maid is family!"

Hearing that this madman was willing to cooperate, Doflamingo's mouth curled into a grin. He was confident that every client who worked with him would become part of his network, continuously bringing him profits.

After all, the Donquixote Family was famous for its excellent service. Their black, white, and gray businesses spread across the world!

"Sell? I said give them to me! And I'm taking her today. Let's see if you dare stop me!"

Dongye Huanglong's Conqueror's Haki erupted once more, and he looked like a fearless lunatic who did not care about dying. He was a vile fanatic who had killed Celestial Dragons; the world had to know that image.

"You!!"

Doflamingo narrowed his eyes as well, staring dangerously at this insane God Slayer!

"Fuffuffuffu, then I'll have Baby 5 serve you properly. As for the Devil Fruits, I'll give you two, as a token of friendship."

Feeling Dongye Huanglong's attitude, Doflamingo immediately changed his tune, treating these things as sponsorship for him.

"Wahahaha! Then thanks for the gifts."

Dongye Huanglong laughed in satisfaction. If this flamingo knew that Law was now under his command, and that he was planning to take away the Tontatta as well, he wondered whether this Underworld Emperor would turn hostile on the spot.

"Friend, if you need anything in the future, come find us. But next time, we'll be talking business."

Doflamingo suppressed his anger at suffering a loss and laughed wildly at the madman who had killed Celestial Dragons.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. We aren't short on money anyway!"

Dongye Huanglong laughed, then called for Enel and Capone Bege to get ready to leave.

Baby 5 excitedly rushed over and wrapped herself around Dongye Huanglong's arm, wearing the bashful expression of a young wife.

Seeing that her "fiancé" and the Young Master had not completely fallen out, she felt a little better and no longer felt quite so guilty. After all, the Donquixote Family had raised her for more than ten years.

"Feel free to come find us."

Doflamingo tossed a Den Den Mushi to Dongye Huanglong. This counted as reaching a preliminary cooperation agreement with the madman.

Perhaps he could use Dongye Huanglong in the future to do things even he himself would not dare do.

For example, dealing with certain Marine and World Government bases.

"Doffy, give me the contact information for the other Underworld Emperors, especially Big News Morgans and Golden Emperor Tesoro."

Before leaving, Dongye Huanglong suddenly spoke to this Underworld Broker Emperor in a tone that made it sound perfectly natural.

"Fine."

Doflamingo said with a false smile, then had Monet, the secretary who had caught up from behind, give Dongye Huanglong the private contact numbers of the major Underworld Emperors.

He also immediately had two ordinary Zoan Devil Fruits retrieved from the family treasury.

"Oh, and let me tell you some good news. I know some accurate information about Pure Gold."

After getting everything he wanted, Dongye Huanglong transformed directly into a divine dragon and flew away from the underground port with Enel, Bege, and Baby 5.

However, before leaving, he tossed out another tempting smokescreen to placate Doflamingo and endlessly lower his bottom line.

That way, when Dongye Huanglong did something even more excessive in the future, this former Celestial Dragon who longed for immortality would grit his teeth and swallow any losses.

"Pure Gold?"

Doflamingo stared at the departing giant dragon with blazing eyes, greed and desire flashing in them.

Could Experiment Subject 88 truly know accurate information about Pure Gold?

Was he fooling him, or trying to gain even more benefits?

At the very least, it gave him another thought and another sliver of hope.

Now, as the King of Dressrosa, a Shichibukai, and an Underworld Emperor, his influence had more or less reached its limit. He did not lack money either.

Besides growing stronger and dragging the Celestial Dragons down from their pedestal, immortality was another dream he pursued.

"Young Master, are we really just giving Baby 5 away like that?"

The fat Buffalo looked pitifully at Doflamingo. He had grown up with Baby 5, and they had been family and partners for many years. He could not bear to see her leave.

"Hmph, Baby 5 is an ungrateful wretch who can't be raised properly. How many messes has the Young Master cleaned up for her? Yet she dared to try to assassinate him multiple times, and now she has openly betrayed him. I will not allow her to return to the Donquixote Family."

Exploder Gladius said coldly. Although they all knew that Baby 5 had personality issues, she had dared to raise a blade against Doflamingo. They had long been unable to stand her.

"Forget it. Consider it helping Baby 5 find a new master. I hope she takes good care of Dongye Huanglong."

Doflamingo smiled faintly. With Baby 5's personality, perhaps she would even bring Dongye Huanglong a little trouble.

Besides, they knew Baby 5's character flaws well. When the time came, they could use her to gather information on Dongye Huanglong and find the Desolate Dragon Group's headquarters.

"What about the losses suffered by the Drago Family and Kibokun's people?"

Pica said in his shrill voice, his expression somewhat grim. Those people had been attacked on their territory, so the Donquixote Family had to bear at least some responsibility.

"Compensate them a little, then tell them the truth directly and let them settle accounts with that madman Dongye Huanglong themselves."

Doflamingo sneered. He also wanted to see Dongye Huanglong cause trouble for the other Underworld Emperors.

If Dongye Huanglong, that lunatic who even dared kill Celestial Dragons, managed to take down an Underworld Emperor, then the Donquixote Family could seize another enormous piece of the pie.

He had coveted the businesses of the other Underworld Emperors for a long time.

If Dongye Huanglong, this fierce dragon crossing the river, could change the structure of the Dark World, he could take a share of the profits as well.

Doflamingo had his subordinates quickly tally the losses at the underground port, restore order, and continue their business.

Meanwhile, after leaving the underground port, Dongye Huanglong returned to the Tontatta Kingdom on Green Bit.

He just had not expected to see several unexpected figures.

"Dongye Lando, please take everyone from the Riku Family with you as well."

Princess Mansherry jumped onto Dongye Huanglong's shoulder and clasped her hands as she pleaded. After some persuasion and an analysis of the benefits, Gancio and Kyros were both willing to leave Dressrosa temporarily.

Moreover, after Violet learned of the plan, her Glint-Glint Fruit ability saw Dongye Huanglong wreaking havoc in the underground port. She took advantage of Diamante leaving the colosseum he was stationed at.

Using her status as a Donquixote Family officer, she successfully took King Riku, who had been hidden among the gladiators, away and reunited him with the Tontatta, Rebecca, and the others.
