Green Bit and the Tontatta

On Green Bit Island, next to Dressrosa in the New World.

"Bang!"

Several giant trees collapsed under the fist of a black silhouette, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"This powerful body would be wasted if I don't train Haki!"

Dongye Huanglong, with his black hair, had, after these few days of adaptation, gained preliminary control over the various abilities within him, granting him significant self-preservation capabilities.

At this moment, Dongye Huanglong was enveloped in crackling lightning. He looked at the bulging muscles on his body and let out a satisfied smile.

The massive wounds left by Kizaru had vanished, and even the purple venomous patterns had been concealed.

The sheer physical strength of this body alone gave him a defense comparable to Armament Haki.

This was the racial power of the Oni Tribe and the Ancient Giant Tribe.

Not only was his defense astonishing and his strength immense, but his recovery rate was also comparable to a Zoan Devil Fruit user.

Combined with the Artificial Azure Dragon ability, Dongye Huanglong was now even stronger than a young Kaido of the Beasts.

This exaggerated defensive power, while perhaps not on par with Big Mom's Iron Balloon, was comparable to Bobby Vanchoo's innate Armament Hard Skin, capable of directly shattering ordinary Armament-infused weapons.

Perhaps due to the activation of a failed bloodline from the Lion Tribe, Dongye Huanglong's black hair had become incredibly long, rivaling Golden Lion Shiki's golden locks. It constantly crackled with blue-white static electricity, making him resemble a Saiyan.

Dongye Huanglong's body was also burning with Lunarian Tribe flames. Upon entering his Half-Dragon Man form, he would sprout a pair of massive dragon horns, similar to those of the Ancient Giant Tribe.

"I wonder if those failed modified bloodlines can all be fully activated."

Dongye Huanglong clenched his fist, thinking with ambition. He hadn't expected that after transmigrating, this body's compatibility would be so strong, successfully merging so many bloodlines through repeated painful experiments.

This Mink Tribe bloodline seemed to have only been subtly activated, as he hadn't grown fur all over his body, which would have been uncomfortable.

The Mink Tribe bloodline and the Artificial Azure Dragon form could both control electricity. Coupled with the Lunarian Tribe's flames, his lightning and fire elemental abilities were incredibly potent.

This exaggerated modified body was even more formidable than a multi-Devil Fruit user.

Lightning, flames, wind blades, laser beams, potent poison, invisibility, giantification, flight, immense strength... he possessed more abilities than Queen of Plague!

This was the ultimate masterpiece created by Vegapunk and the entire science division.

His transmigration body seemed to be the strongest compatible form, retaining the best traits. The Lunarian Tribe had only awakened its adaptability to fire; his brown skin, white hair, and wings remained dormant.

The Mink Tribe had activated the ability to utilize static electricity. He wasn't sure if the Sulong state had been activated, but his body hadn't grown the characteristic fur of the Mink Tribe.

Dongye Huanglong was also unsure what ability the failed Fishman bloodline modification would awaken. Perhaps enhanced swimming or tenfold strength?

However, even if he awakened tenfold strength, it would be overshadowed by the power of the more potent Oni Tribe and Ancient Giant Tribe.

As for the ability to breathe underwater, he would only know if he fell into the sea.

But after consuming the Artificial Azure Dragon bloodline fruit, the Fishman bloodline had become redundant. It was fine if it didn't activate.

He would never allow himself to be pushed into the sea by anyone!

Dongye Huanglong tidied up a few giant trees, lifted them with one hand, and returned to his simple hut, preparing to expand it.

"Dongye Lando, don't just go around destroying the forest."

A small golden figure quickly leaped onto Dongye Huanglong's shoulder and said softly to him.

"Got it."

Dongye Huanglong suppressed the lightning and savage aura emanating from him, turned, and smiled at the Tontatta princess.

This was one of the rare smiles he had shown since his transmigration.

A few days prior, the heavily injured Dongye Huanglong, after regaining a sliver of consciousness, had obtained the trust and friendship of the Tontatta with just a small lie.

By impersonating a descendant of Noland, he had successfully convinced Princess Mansherry to use the Heal-Heal Fruit's abilities to fully heal him.

These Tontatta had also spared no effort in providing Dongye Huanglong with food and various medicinal herbs, helping him quickly recover from his injuries and regain his strength.

Even the pants he was wearing had been "borrowed" from Dressrosa by the Tontatta.

The blood-soaked white coat he had been wearing had been discarded.

Seeing these Tontatta steal to support Dongye Huanglong...

This made Dongye Huanglong, who had experienced so much darkness and hardship, feel the true goodness and beauty of this world for the first time.

These kind Tontatta had also brought a sliver of warmth to Dongye Huanglong's heart.

"Dongye Lando can ask Leo and the others to help build the house; they work very fast."

Princess Mansherry said happily. Yesterday, after Dongye Huanglong had secretly taken her to the prosperous streets of Dressrosa for a visit, she now wanted to go again with him.

Since Doflamingo became the new king of Dressrosa, the residents there were no longer as friendly to them, the "fairies," as they had been during King Riku's reign. They would even capture them for auction.

They had even overheard conversations among the Donquixote Family executives, revealing that a group of Tontatta warriors had been captured and sold to a Yonko pirate known as Big Mom for breeding and collection.

This news had filled them with dread.

The thought of their kin being ravaged by the enormous Big Humans made them even more terrified.

Therefore, the Tontatta had significantly reduced their visits to Dressrosa for fun and "borrowing things."

Women, children, the elderly, and the weak of the tribe were not allowed to cross the great bridge. Only a select group of elite Tontatta warriors were permitted to 'borrow' things from Dressrosa.

That's why Princess Mansherry was so happy yesterday when Dongye Huanglong took her to visit Dressrosa.

"No need to trouble Leo and the others, just a casual arrangement will do," Dongye Huanglong said, patting Princess Mansherry's small head. This wooden hut was only a temporary shelter; he couldn't stay on the small island of Green Bit forever.

He wanted to become stronger, he wanted to build his own force, he wanted revenge!

"It's no trouble at all! We're happy to work for Dongye Lando. You're a great adventurer and hero, just like Lord Noland!" Princess Mansherry said with a serious expression. Over the past day or two, they had witnessed Dongye Huanglong's power, with his endless array of abilities opening their eyes.

Their admiration for Dongye Huanglong grew with each passing moment.

Four hundred years ago, Noland saved the Tontatta, becoming their hero and benefactor. Now, they firmly believed Dongye Huanglong would become their new hero.

After witnessing Dongye Huanglong's strength, the Tontatta chief Gancio pleaded with him to help King Riku's lineage overthrow Doflamingo's rule.

Then, they, these little sprites, could return to their former peaceful lives.

In recent years, the Donquixote Family had captured dozens of Tontatta for auction, making the Tontatta too afraid to cross the great bridge to 'borrow' things from Dressrosa.

Gancio even wanted to beg Dongye Huanglong to rescue their captured tribespeople who had been sold off.

Dongye Huanglong thought for a moment and then agreed to Gancio, promising to do his best to help them.

However, at this stage, he needed more time to grow stronger and develop.

The honest Tontatta immediately declared their willingness to follow Dongye Huanglong, to advance and retreat with him, sharing life and death.

The Tontatta's proactive approach gave Dongye Huanglong, who was currently penniless and without any foundation, a plan: to establish his own force starting from zero, using the Tontatta as a base.

This freebie Tontatta tribe was very easy to control, so why not take them?

Moreover, the Tontatta tribe possessed four Devil Fruit users: the Paramecia-type Heal-Heal Fruit, the Stitch-Stitch Fruit, the Zoan-type Bug-Bug Fruit: Wasp Model, and the Hercules Beetle Model.

Among these, Princess Mansherry's Heal-Heal Fruit ability was the one Dongye Huanglong valued the most.

Every Tontatta was incredibly strong and incredibly fast, possessing considerable combat power. They were just a bit timid, incapable of lying, and easily tricked.

The Tontatta were also natural green managers, exceptionally skilled in cultivation, which might prove useful in the future.

Caesar had not yet escaped prison to fall into Doflamingo's embrace, and the cultivation of artificial Devil Fruits had not yet begun.

Therefore, the Donquixote Family had not engaged in large-scale capture of Tontatta to help with tree cultivation, sparing Dongye Huanglong some trouble.

Of course, the most important thing was that the Tontatta currently trusted Dongye Huanglong implicitly and were very obedient.

How could Dongye Huanglong abandon this conveniently delivered tribe, who were also his saviors?
