Thunder God Island

On Green Bit.

The Tontatta and several members of the Riku Family had all entered Capone Bege's castle within his body.

Dongye Huanglong transformed into a giant dragon, carrying Enel and Capone Bege as he flew straight toward Punk Hazard.

Inside the body castle, Violet looked at Baby 5. She had never expected this female officer of the Donquixote Family to betray Doflamingo and join Dongye Huanglong's ranks.

"Don't look at me like that. You betrayed the Young Master too."

Seeing the hostile looks from Violet, Rebecca, and the others, Baby5 replied unhappily. She had followed her fiancé willingly, and even Doflamingo had personally agreed to it.

"I was only forced to join the Donquixote Family!"

Violet said coldly. Back then, she had traded her loyalty to save King Riku's life.

Although the Riku Family had been burdened with unforgivable crimes, at least Rebecca was no longer hunted by the Donquixote Family and had been given a chance to live.

"Hmph, I'm no longer an officer of the Donquixote Family. From now on, I'll be Lord Huanglong's personal maid. Lord Huanglong needs me to serve him like a wife."

Baby5 did not want to dwell on past grudges with Violet. From now on, she would be Dongye Huanglong's woman and only needed to listen to him.

At the thought of living happily with Dongye Huanglong in the future, Baby 5's face flushed again.

She wondered whether Lord Huanglong would hold a grand wedding for her.

Violet looked at this lovestruck woman and no longer treated her with hostility.

After all those years in Dressrosa, she knew about Baby5's personality flaw. Because of it, Doflamingo had killed quite a few people who had set their sights on Baby5, while Baby5 herself had tried to chop Doflamingo down several times.

Within the Donquixote Family, Baby5 was the only one who had ever dared to lay a hand on Doflamingo.

In the skies outside.

"Being able to ride on the boss's dragon body truly is an honor."

Capone Bege held down his hat. The cigar in his mouth glowed as it burned in the gale, and he watched the sea rapidly recede below them with excitement.

This was far more thrilling than being inside Kuma's paw bubble.

"This Blue Sea is even more magnificent than the White Sea!"

Enel gazed at the boundless ocean and suddenly felt that his worldview back on Bika had been far too shallow.

Dongye Huanglong held the Eternal Pose Vegapunk had provided and followed its direction toward Punk Hazard, the island of poisonous gas.

By now, the poison gas on that island should not have been cleared yet, and it should still have been abandoned by the World Government.

I wonder if that bastard Caesar has escaped yet!

Dongye Huanglong thought again of the evil scientist who had killed him once. Although Caesar had given him the poison factor and the transparency factor, and had even bombarded Punk Hazard with poison gas to give him a chance to escape, the grudge still had to be settled.

Before killing Caesar, however, he needed to figure out how to squeeze everything out of him as compensation.

The Logia-type Gas-Gas Fruit ability that bastard possessed was also an exceedingly rare Devil Fruit ability!

But Vegapunk's research had yet to develop the technology for Artificial Devil Fruits of the Logia type. Even Devil Fruit recovery technology was still immature and remained only theoretical.

Forget it. I'll think of a way to torture him when the time comes!

Dongye Huanglong continued flying, but before long, they passed a violent island flickering with lightning.

Both Dongye Huanglong and Enel's eyes filled with surprise.

"It's Thunder God Island, one of the New World's first three islands!"

Capone Bege said in shock. Its name alone made it clear what the island was known for: violent lightning that never ceased.

This island was also the most dangerous of the first three islands. Among the three-in-one Log Pose routes in the New World, its needle was the most unstable, as the island's magnetic field was extremely erratic.

After leaving Fish-Man Island, the three islands recorded by the Log Pose were Thunder God Island, Biris Chirred Island, and Mysterious Island.

"Thunder God Island? It has the same name as my title!"

Enel's eyes were already filled with longing. He felt as though this island existed specifically for him and that he could become stronger there.

"Then let's go take a look!"

Dongye Huanglong could also feel the Lightning Power within his body faintly stir. This place would probably be even more appealing to Enel, a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user.

As the giant dragon landed on the shore at the edge of Thunder God Island, several bolts of lightning struck them before long.

This frightened Capone Bege so badly that he had no desire to venture deeper into the island, where dense lightning flashed everywhere.

"Bege, throw Kibokun out. Wait here for now.

Enel, use gold to make several lightning rods for Bege."

Dongye Huanglong, now back in human form, said as lightning crackled over his body. He and Enel had just taken several bolts head-on, and the sensation had been quite intense.

But the benefits were also considerable. They could both feel that this place was better suited for cultivating.

"Desolate Dragon Group Leader, my elder brother is Giberson, the Underworld Emperor known as the Hidden Master. He has considerable influence across the seas. If you release me, I guarantee that we will give you satisfactory compensation."

The moment Kibokun came out, he hurriedly addressed Dongye Huanglong respectfully. If anyone else had dared lay a hand on him, he would have cursed them out and invoked Giberson's name to threaten them.

But before this peerless ruthless man who had dared to kill Celestial Dragons, he did not dare utter a single threatening word.

He was afraid that trying it would mean dying.

"Behave yourself, and perhaps I'll release you after a while!"

Dongye Huanglong carried Kibokun into Thunder God Island, with Enel following close behind. Enel even transformed into lightning and flew into the air, wildly absorbing lightning while replenishing his four thunder drums.

"Lord Huanglong, I'll obey! I really will! Don't take me somewhere I'll be struck by lightning!"

Kibokun cried out in terror, only to be struck by a bolt of lightning as he spoke. Black smoke rose from his body as he convulsed uncontrollably.

With medium- to low-purity Seastone handcuffs on his wrists, he had no strength to use Armament Haki and could only endure the lightning with his body.

"Remember this. Obey properly. Don't do anything unnecessary, and don't say anything unnecessary. Otherwise, I'll leave you on Thunder God Island."

As another bolt of lightning struck Kibokun, Dongye Huanglong smiled faintly. He would scare this fellow into submission first.

Once they reached Punk Hazard, it would be much more convenient to move those enormous experimental instruments.

"Yes... I will absolutely obey every command you give."

Kibokun was struck numb, his skin charred black. To survive, he could only agree to any demand Dongye Huanglong made for now.

"Very good!"

Dongye Huanglong threw Kibokun back into Capone Bege's golden lightning-rod formation, then went with Enel to explore Thunder God Island and cultivate their Lightning Power.

Meanwhile, a flamingo pirate ship that had set sail from Dressrosa successfully picked up Caesar Clown, who had escaped from a New World Marine prison, in a certain stretch of sea.

After Doflamingo used a mixture of threats and incentives to bargain with Caesar, the evil scientist officially reached a partnership with Doflamingo and submitted to the Underworld Emperor.

Because Doflamingo wanted Artificial Devil Fruits, Caesar could only make Punk Hazard, an island with complete experimental equipment, his base of operations.

Thus, Doflamingo sent Monet and part of his men to secretly accompany Caesar to Punk Hazard, intending to clear the poison gas first.
