Elemental Devil Fruit Weapon Creatures

Inside the research facility on Punk Hazard.

Under Dongye Huanglong's terrifying pressure, Popper Kibokun obediently activated his Pierce-Pierce Fruit ability, helping Dongye Huanglong pop the experimental equipment one piece at a time and turn it into shriveled balloon-like shapes.

They were then folded up, sorted, and stored inside Capone Bege's castle body.

Under the original plan, Vegapunk and the scientists had already drawn up various lists and abandoned some large equipment that was inconvenient to transport.

But now that they had Kibokun, the Pierce-Pierce Man, Dongye Huanglong intended to take away everything that could be moved.

Caesar, beaten black and blue by Dongye Huanglong with both legs shattered, was shackled in Seastone handcuffs and tossed aside like a filthy rag.

Having vented enough, Dongye Huanglong did not immediately kill the man. After all, the Logia-type Gas-Gas Fruit within him still had research and recovery value.

If he killed him now, that Logia-type ability would simply respawn randomly somewhere in the world.

Monet, the Snow-Snow Fruit User, had also become Dongye Huanglong's prisoner. After being fitted with Seastone handcuffs, she was locked up.

Dongye Huanglong had sent Enel to hunt down all surviving prisoners and Donquixote Family members on the island.

Meanwhile, Dongye Huanglong was dealing with the purple salamander slime formed from condensed poison gas.

Under Dongye Huanglong's threat of death, Caesar had already handed over basic command of this venomous Devil Fruit ability monster.

Looking at the venom salamander, Dongye Huanglong fearlessly plunged his dragon claw into its concentrated venom body. The purple poisonous patterns on his body writhed rapidly as they crazily absorbed the monster's venom.

"This saves me quite a bit of time."

This venom salamander had spent seven or eight days absorbing the purple poisonous mist on Punk Hazard, gathering most of the island's poison gas into its body, condensing it into venom, and becoming a massive slime salamander.

Now Dongye Huanglong was naturally seizing the venom salamander's hard-earned results to strengthen his own toxic ability.

As Dongye Huanglong absorbed it, the venom salamander gradually shrank from dozens of meters long to only a few meters, beginning to resemble a slime pet.

This kind of Devil Fruit weapon was easier to tame than the artificial giant dragon created by Vegapunk.

Devil Fruit weapons such as Mr. 4's Dachshund Cannon and Spandam's Elephant Sword - Funk Fried had been sold through several hands after their creation.

Those Devil Fruit weapons would also obey the commands of their new master.

Now that Dongye Huanglong had become the venom salamander's new master, it would not resist no matter how he pinched, beat, or kneaded it, obediently following every command.

Of course, with the simple instinctive awareness of these Devil Fruit weapons, they could only understand a few basic commands.

The emergence of these Devil Fruit weapons, along with the conscious resistance displayed by Artificial Devil Fruit Users, proved that Zoan Devil Fruits indeed possessed a certain biological will.

The wills of Mythical Zoans were even stronger.

Legend had it that the Sun God Nika Fruit could even hide from the World Government's search.

That was a little absurd!

Dongye Huanglong amusingly led the venom salamander around the island, continuing to absorb some of the poison gas.

However, Dongye Huanglong ultimately did not completely clear the poison gas from the island, lest it be occupied by the World Government again or become the island where Akainu and Aokiji dueled.

In the future, Punk Hazard, the poison gas island, and Thunder God Island, the lightning island, would both become Dongye Huanglong's territory.

Dongye Huanglong looked at the venom salamander, which could split its body into large numbers of small poison gas slimes. Its vapor-and-liquid body could also ignore physical attacks, leaving him very satisfied with this new pet.

It was also highly venomous and could easily poison ordinary enemies. The small slimes it split off could even explode when exposed to fire, increasing their destructive power.

It truly rivaled Big Mom Charlotte Linlin's high-level Homies.

"Let's go, Slime!"

Dongye Huanglong gave the command. The small slime fragments that had been absorbing poison gas slowly gathered together again, forming a slightly larger venom salamander that followed behind its new master like an eager big dog.

The appearance of this poison gas monster reduced Dongye Huanglong's desire to kill Caesar by another fraction.

He wondered whether that guy could continue creating elemental Devil Fruit weapon creatures such as thunderclouds, flames, swamp mud, snowflakes...

If he could, Dongye Huanglong could also make low-grade versions of Thundercloud Zeus or Sun Prometheus and achieve the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit.

Sure enough, the path of combining technology with Devil Fruit abilities was worth studying further.

When Dongye Huanglong returned to the research facility, Kibokun was lying flat with his tongue hanging out from exhaustion. In a single day, he had popped nearly an entire research facility's worth of equipment, far exceeding his previous workload.

Thanks to the Tontatta's efforts, nearly the entire research facility had been emptied out. Even scattered research materials had been gathered up.

"Boss, we can leave now!"

Capone Bege looked at the exhausted Kibokun and reported to Dongye Huanglong with a smile. With this Pierce-Pierce Man, everything had become much more convenient.

This time, they had also captured two Logia-type Devil Fruit Users. If they could subdue them both, then together with Enel, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit User, they would have three Logia-type Devil Fruit Users.

"Mansheli, heal that dead dog. Don't let him die!"

For the sake of his elemental Devil Fruit weapon creature plan, Dongye Huanglong had decided to spare the man's life and make him create greater value.

If he ever found him unpleasant to look at, he could just beat him up. He could not let him die so easily.

"Alright!"

Princess Mansherry scattered a Healing Dandelion over the gravely injured Caesar. His broken legs recovered, and the swelling and bruising on his face also faded considerably.

"I hope you can make a few Devil Fruit weapon creatures like Slime in the future. Otherwise, if you're of no use to me, I'll make sure to teach you a proper lesson."

Dongye Huanglong grinned at Caesar, his 'mortal enemy.' The coldness in his voice made Caesar tremble all over, and he hurriedly nodded through tears.

As everyone returned one after another to Capone Bege's castle body, Dongye Huanglong transformed into a divine dragon once more. Taking Bege and Enel with him, he flew directly away from Punk Hazard and returned to the sky island.

Over in Dressrosa, Doflamingo, who had been in a fairly good mood, was gathering a large quantity of supplies to send to Punk Hazard, hoping Caesar could produce the raw materials for Artificial Devil Fruits as soon as possible.

"Those Tontatta were really all taken away?"

As the officers exploring Green Bit returned, Doflamingo's expression darkened again.

He had originally wanted to capture some Tontatta to cultivate Artificial Devil Fruits, but after Enel destroyed the bridge to Green Bit, even the entire Tontatta tribe had vanished without a trace.

Dongye Huanglong had gone too far this time.

In that case, he could only arrange for ordinary people to cultivate the Devil Fruits. The efficiency would likely drop significantly.

When he contacted Monet on Punk Hazard again to ask about the progress, the unanswered Den Den Mushi made Doflamingo's face darken even further.
