On Green Bit Island beside Dressrosa in the New World.
"Bang!"
Several giant trees crashed down beneath the fist of a black figure, kicking up countless clouds of dust.
"With such a powerful body, it would be a waste not to train Haki!"
After several days of adapting, black-haired Dongye Huanglong had gained preliminary control over the various abilities in his body, greatly improving his ability to protect himself.
Electricity now crackled all over Dongye Huanglong's body. Looking at his knotted muscles, he revealed a satisfied smile.
The massive wound Kizaru had left on him had vanished, and even the purple venomous markings had been hidden away.
The sheer physical strength of this body alone gave him defenses no weaker than Armament Haki.
This was the racial strength of the Oni and the Ancient Giant Tribe.
Not only was its defense astonishing and its strength immense, but its recovery ability was also comparable to that of a Zoan Devil Fruit User.
Combined with the Artificial Azure Dragon ability, Dongye Huanglong was now practically stronger than the younger Kaido of the Beasts.
Even if this absurd defense could not compare to Big Mom's Iron Balloon, it was on par with Bobby Vanchoo's innate Armament Hard Skin, capable of directly shattering ordinary Armament Haki-hardened weapons.
Perhaps because he had activated the failed bloodline of the Lion Tribe, Dongye Huanglong's black hair had grown incredibly long, no less impressive than Golden Lion Shiki's golden mane. Blue-white static constantly flickered over it, making him look like a Saiyan.
Lunarian flames also burned on Dongye Huanglong's body. After entering his Half-Dragon Man form, a pair of massive dragon horns similar to those of the Ancient Giant Tribe appeared on his head.
I wonder if all those failed modified bloodlines can be fully activated.
Dongye Huanglong clenched his fists, thinking ambitiously. He had not expected this body he had transmigrated into to possess such powerful compatibility, successfully fusing so many bloodlines through one painful experiment after another.
This Mink Tribe bloodline seemed to have only been faintly activated. He had not grown fur all over his body, or he would have been miserable.
Both the Mink Tribe bloodline and the Artificial Azure Dragon form could manipulate electric currents. Combined with the Lunarian flames, the lightning and fire abilities in his body were exceptionally powerful.
This absurdly modified body was simply stronger than someone with multiple Devil Fruit powers.
Lightning, flames, wind blades, Laser Beams, poison, invisibility, gigantification, flight, immense strength... he possessed even more abilities than Queen of Plague!
This was the greatest masterpiece produced by Vegapunk and the entire science division.
This body he had transmigrated into seemed to be the strongest compatible vessel, retaining only the best traits. The Lunarian Tribe bloodline had awakened only the Flame of Adaptation; its dark skin, white hair, and wings had not been activated.
The Mink Tribe bloodline had also activated the ability to use static electricity. He still did not know whether the Sulong form had awakened, but at least his body had not grown Mink Tribe fur.
Dongye Huanglong also had no idea what ability the failed Fish-Man bloodline modification would awaken. Could it be the Swim-Swim ability or tenfold arm strength?
But even if it awakened tenfold arm strength, it would be overshadowed by the even greater power of the Oni and the Ancient Giant Tribe.
As for the ability to breathe underwater, he would have to fall into the sea to find out.
However, after he ate the Artificial Azure Dragon bloodline fruit, this Fish-Man bloodline had already become useless. It did not matter whether it activated or not.
He would never allow anyone to knock him into the sea!
Dongye Huanglong trimmed several giant trees, carried them back one-handed to his crude little shack, and prepared to expand it.
"Dongye Lando, don't destroy the forest so casually."
A tiny golden figure quickly leaped onto Dongye Huanglong's shoulder and softly admonished him.
"Got it."
Dongye Huanglong restrained the lightning and violent aura around him, then turned and smiled at the Tontatta princess.
It was one of the rare smiles he had shown since transmigrating here.
A few days earlier, after the severely injured Dongye Huanglong regained a little consciousness, he had earned the Tontatta's trust and friendship with a single small lie.
By pretending to be Noland's descendant, he successfully persuaded Princess Mansherry to use the Heal-Heal Fruit's power to treat him with all her strength.
The Tontatta had also spared no effort in providing Dongye Huanglong with food and all kinds of medicinal herbs, helping him quickly recover from his injuries and regain his strength.
Even the pair of pants he wore had been "borrowed" by the Tontatta from Dressrosa.
The blood-soaked white lab coat he had been wearing had already been thrown away.
Watching these Tontatta resort to stealing just to support him—
It made Dongye Huanglong, who had endured darkness and hardship, feel the true goodness and beauty of this world for the first time.
These kind Tontatta also brought a little warmth to his heart.
"Dongye Lando can ask Leo and the others to help build the house. They work very quickly."
Princess Mansherry said happily. After Dongye Huanglong had secretly taken her to stroll through Dressrosa's Prosperity Street yesterday, she now wanted to go there with him again.
Ever since Doflamingo became Dressrosa's New King, the residents of Dressrosa had no longer treated these "fairies" as kindly as they had during the reign of King Riku's Royal Family. They even captured them and sent them to auction.
They had even overheard Donquixote Family officers saying that a batch of captured Tontatta warriors had been sold to a Yonko Great Pirate named Big Mom for breeding and collecting.
The news had terrified them.
At the thought of their tribespeople being ravaged by enormous humans, they became even more afraid.
As a result, the Tontatta greatly reduced their trips to Dressrosa for fun and to "borrow things."
The women, children, elderly, and weak within the tribe were forbidden from crossing the bridge. Only a select group of elite Tontatta warriors were permitted to go to Dressrosa to "borrow" things.
That was why Dongye Huanglong taking Princess Mansherry to Dressrosa for a little outing yesterday had made the Tontatta princess so happy.
"There's no need to trouble Leo and the others. I'll just throw something together."
Dongye Huanglong said as he patted Princess Mansherry's little head. This wooden hut was merely a temporary shelter; he could not remain on the little island of Green Bit forever.
He needed to grow stronger, build up his forces, and take revenge!
"It's no trouble. 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 strength. One ability after another had emerged without end, broadening their horizons.
They admired Dongye Huanglong more and more.
Four hundred years ago, Noland had saved the Tontatta and become their hero and benefactor. Now, they firmly believed that Dongye Huanglong would become their new hero as well.
After witnessing Dongye Huanglong's strength, Gancio, the Tontatta chief, had begged him to help King Riku's family overthrow Doflamingo's rule.
Then these little fairies could return to the peaceful lives they once had.
Over the past few years, the Donquixote Family had captured dozens of Tontatta for auction, making the Tontatta now too afraid to cross the bridge into Dressrosa to "borrow" things.
Gancio had even wanted to beg Dongye Huanglong to rescue the tribespeople who had been sold away.
Dongye Huanglong considered it briefly before agreeing to Gancio's request, saying that he would do his best to help them.
However, at this stage, he needed more time to grow stronger and develop.
The honest Tontatta immediately declared that they were willing to follow Dongye Huanglong, advancing and retreating with him, living and dying together.
The Tontatta's initiative in drawing close gave Dongye Huanglong, who currently had nothing and no foundation, an immediate plan: use the Tontatta as his base and build his own force from scratch.
These Tontatta who had practically fallen into his lap were an extremely easy race to control. There was no reason to refuse them.
Moreover, the Tontatta possessed four Devil Fruit Users: the Paramecia Heal-Heal Fruit, the Stitch-Stitch Fruit, the Zoan Bug-Bug Fruit's Wasp Model, and the Hercules Beetle Model.
Among them, Princess Mansherry's Heal-Heal Fruit ability was the one Dongye Huanglong valued most.
Every Tontatta was a powerhouse with incredible speed and decent combat ability. Their only flaws were that they were somewhat timid, could not lie, and were easily deceived.
The Tontatta were also natural green-thumbed managers, highly skilled at cultivation. Perhaps they would prove useful in the future.
Caesar had not yet escaped prison and thrown himself into Doflamingo's arms, and Artificial Devil Fruit cultivation had not begun.
Therefore, the Donquixote Family had not yet captured Tontatta on a large scale to help plant trees, saving Dongye Huanglong some trouble.
Of course, most importantly, the Tontatta now trusted Dongye Huanglong deeply and were very obedient.
How could Dongye Huanglong possibly abandon a race that had practically offered itself to him and had also saved his life?
