Familiar Faces on Dressrosa

New World · Dressrosa, Upper.

"Trash!"

In a secluded alley, Dongye Huanglong dropped the corpse of a pirate and robbed him of all his Belly.

Dongye Huanglong felt no pressure killing these pirate scums.

With the money he had, he bought a new set of clothes on the streets of Dressrosa, then began to gorge himself on the world's delicacies, also buying some pastries for Mansheli and the others.

He had spent a long time coaxing Mansheli today before he could land on Dressrosa alone.

It was because he intended to kill and rob people, and it would be difficult to do so with a pure young girl like Mansheli.

Two days ago, he had taken Mansheli to see some of Dressrosa, but because they had no money, they hadn't bought anything and Mansheli had urged him to return.

Today, he was determined to prey on the prey, to rob to his heart's content!

'Caesar, that dog, hasn't escaped prison yet, so there's no chance for revenge for now. As for Gorosei Saturn, that's a bit of a distant target. I'll get my Haki first.'

Dongye Huanglong walked along the bustling main road, biting into roasted meat, his cold eyes scanning for the next pirate scum to enrich his wallet.

At the same time, he was also looking for a way to obtain Haki in Dressrosa, to see if there was any black market.

If Blackbeard Teach could hide for twenty to thirty years waiting for the Dark-Dark Fruit to appear, then it wouldn't be a problem for him to hide for a year or two to learn Haki.

If Dongye Huanglong were willing, he could even defect to the Whitebeard Pirates, infiltrate for a year or two, intercept Blackbeard, and snatch the Dark-Dark Fruit.

But Dongye Huanglong wasn't a freak like Blackbeard; he shouldn't be able to eat a second Devil Fruit ability.

However, if he had the chance, he would still find a way to snatch the Dark-Dark Fruit and prevent Blackbeard from rising.

Just then, a commotion arose from the lively street.

"Baby 5, please marry me! I need you to accompany me for the rest of my life!"

A lecherous-looking young man, holding a bunch of wildflowers he had casually picked, proposed to a tall, beautiful woman in a maid outfit.

His leering expression made it easy for others to sense his ill intentions.

However, the beautiful maid shyly blushed and did not refuse the man's proposal, seemingly unable to discern the young man's wicked intentions. In fact, there was a hint of blush on her face, making her look even more alluring.

'A free maid, Baby 5?'

Dongye Huanglong immediately recognized the beautiful maid who couldn't refuse anyone. She was also a Paramecia-type Arms-Arms Fruit user, possessing decent combat power.

But her development ability was truly terrible, a waste of this god-tier fruit.

Just as the lecherous young man felt he was about to win the beauty's hand, many of the onlookers, residents of Dressrosa, were watching the young man from another island with amusement.

Dongye Huanglong's gaze suddenly flickered to a spot in the air, and his expression turned serious.

It was that flamingo's String-String Fruit ability!

As expected, just as Baby 5 was about to agree to the lecherous young man's proposal, an invisible thread instantly pierced the young man's heart.

A large amount of blood quickly seeped through his white clothes.

"Ah~"

The lecherous young man looked at his chest in horror, feeling a piercing pain in his heart.

What was going on!

"Hahahaha, truly an ignorant outsider! He dares to provoke a cadre of the Donquixote Family, he deserves to die!"

A resident of Dressrosa laughed heartily. Every week, he saw ignorant fools killed by King Doflamingo.

It was just like a duel in the coliseum, full of excitement.

The reason for all this was because Baby 5, the beautiful cadre who couldn't refuse anyone, was involved.

It was fine if Baby 5 helped with small favors, but anyone who dared to propose to Baby 5 or swindle her would be ruthlessly purged by Doflamingo.

"Ah! Damn Young Master! I'm going to kill you!"

Seeing the man in front of her suddenly fall dead, Baby 5 furiously charged towards the King's Highland to settle accounts with Doflamingo.

She hated how her Young Master killed people who needed her, time and time again!

She truly longed for people to need her!

Why did he have to kill her "fiancés" again and again?

Seeing the crowd of onlookers scatter, the Donquixote Family's soldiers quickly came out to clean up, dragging away the corpse. The entire process was smooth and practiced, their operations extremely skilled.

Dongye Huanglong finished his roasted meat and watched the scene with a blank expression.

This was the world of One Piece, where human lives were as cheap as grass.

The weak couldn't even choose how they died.

'I haven't learned Haki yet, so I shouldn't interact with someone like Doflamingo for now.'

Dongye Huanglong threw away the bone, temporarily abandoning the idea of using Vergo's secret to exchange for a Haki training method.

He even temporarily put aside the thought of tricking Baby 5.

That Ten Great Yaksha was notoriously ruthless and vengeful.

He remembered that after Doflamingo found out about Tesoro stealing the Gold-Gold Fruit, he chased Tesoro for over a year.

It wasn't until Tesoro's strength could fully contend with Doflamingo that the two sides put aside their hatred and slowly became business partners.

It had to be said that Tesoro was no simple guy; he was incredibly bold, and his abilities were a perfect match for the Gold-Gold Fruit.

In just three to four years, he had awakened the Gold-Gold Fruit's power. He truly was exceptionally talented.

Thinking of Tesoro's past status as a Celestial Dragon slave gave Dongye Huanglong an idea.

Coupled with the fact that Tesoro's girlfriend, Stella, had died at the hands of the Celestial Dragons, there might be a chance to bring him into his own faction.

If successful, Dongye Huanglong would no longer lack money and would also gain a powerful ally.

Of course, the prerequisite was still his own strength, to be worthy of cooperating with such a ruthless individual.

Otherwise, relying solely on threats, a figure like Tesoro would only try to find ways to eliminate him.

Dongye Huanglong watched Baby 5's receding figure, his eyes narrowing. The thought of Doflamingo's Celestial Dragon bloodline reminded Dongye Huanglong of Saturn, the Celestial Dragon who had cost him an eye.

Although Doflamingo now also resented the Celestial Dragons, he simultaneously desperately wanted to become a Celestial Dragon again.

It was just that the Celestial Dragons were unwilling to accept him.

Since he had taken in the Tontatta, Dressrosa and the Donquixote Family would definitely be among his targets.

With sufficient strength, Dongye Huanglong would unhesitatingly take everything from Doflamingo.

During his two and a half years as an experimental subject on Punk Hazard, he had completely seen through the rules of this world.

The strong prey on the weak, and the victor takes all!

Just as Dongye Huanglong turned to find the next unlucky pirate and black market, a massive figure appeared in his field of vision.

Beneath the huge hooded cloak, Dongye Huanglong saw a familiar face.

And the wooden box held in the giant figure's hand made Dongye Huanglong recall something.

It was him!

This guy hadn't gone to find that Vegapunk, the big-headed scientist.

Dongye Huanglong thought of his 'old friend' Vegapunk, his mind racing, and a grin suddenly spread across his lips.

Without a word, he followed.

By following this guy, it seemed he could get his hands on the Haki training method, even trick him into joining his ranks, and at the same time, find Vegapunk's new hideout.

These thoughts made Dongye Huanglong tremble with excitement.
