The Desolate Dragon Group

"A correct choice!"

A hint of a smile finally appeared on Dongye Huanglong's indifferent face. He hadn't expected his first member to be Tyrant Kuma.

This was something he had never considered before.

"Then, Mr. Huanglong," Kuma asked gently after composing himself, "what is our organization called?"

"We'll call it the Desolate Dragon Group!!"

A powerful aura erupted from Dongye Huanglong, with small black and red lightning crackling around him. Bonney, inside the wooden box, suddenly felt a suffocating sensation, her eyes rolling back.

"Calm down, Desolate Dragon Group Leader. Bonney can't handle that Conqueror's Haki."

Kuma quickly stopped Dongye Huanglong. Why is this new boss just randomly releasing Conqueror's Haki?

"My apologies, I haven't quite mastered it yet," Dongye Huanglong said, calming himself. He didn't know how to train this Conqueror's Haki; it was still very unrefined.

He had awakened it unintentionally under Kizaru's pressure, which was also unexpected.

However, not only did he possess the Oni Tribe bloodline of Kaido of the Beasts, but he had also consumed the Artificial Azure Dragon Zoan Fruit created from Kaido's bloodline factor. Combined with his rage and unwillingness to yield, it wasn't impossible for him to awaken Conqueror's Haki.

"It's fine. Then, Group Leader, when can we visit the Heal-Heal Fruit User and the Op-Op Fruit User, as well as that doctor who can perform Stem Cell Transplantation?" Kuma asked with a hopeful smile. He would gladly sacrifice himself to heal Bonney.

"Don't worry, those individuals are also among my targets. And the Heal-Heal Fruit User is on this island. Also, when you go to find Vegapunk, you should have an Eternal Pose for Egghead Island, right? Speaking of which, I'm quite familiar with that fellow Vegapunk; he modified this eye of mine. And you know the one who blinded me – that immortal old man, Satan of the Five Elders!"

Dongye Huanglong grinned. Thinking about the experiments Vegapunk had conducted on him and the revenge for his blinded eye at Satan's hands, his eye throbbed faintly. However, he didn't resent Vegapunk that much; after all, the man was a scientist with some bottom line. Still, Dongye Huanglong intended to make Vegapunk work for him his entire life to repay this pain.

"The Heal-Heal Fruit User is on this island?" Kuma exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected the user to be here. If Bonney could be healed now, the heavy burden that had weighed on his heart for years would be lifted. He even overlooked Satan, one of the Five Elders who had nearly killed him at God Valley.

"Don't get too excited. The Heal-Heal Fruit primarily treats external injuries. It might be ineffective against incurable diseases like the Azure Scale Disease, just like your Paw-Paw Fruit ability." Dongye Huanglong poured cold water on Kuma's hopes, as he wasn't entirely sure if the Heal-Heal Fruit would be effective.

Yet, Kuma was still happy; at least there was a glimmer of hope for a cure.

"Also, please teach me Armament Haki and Observation Haki. We'll stay on this island for the next couple of days and have the Heal-Heal Fruit User treat Bonney. If Bonney cannot be completely cured, we'll immediately set off for Egghead Island to find Vegapunk. Otherwise, if Kizaru has free time to go to Egghead Island, it will be difficult for us to meet Vegapunk."

Dongye Huanglong mused. He planned to snatch Vegapunk and formally collect the first wave of interest from the World Government. Most importantly, the Pacifistas, Vegapunk's clones, and the Seraphim had not yet been created. He intended to seize all of it to retaliate against the World Government, and also to build his own foundation. As for the vast funds needed for experiments, besides the gold from Sky Island, Golden Emperor Tesoro would also be a target for Dongye Huanglong. He was determined to turn this world upside down to avenge his deep-seated hatred.

"Okay."

Hearing Dongye Huanglong's plan, Kuma immediately picked up the wooden box containing Bonney and followed him. On the way, Kuma diligently taught Dongye Huanglong the theories of Observation Haki and Armament Haki, bit by bit. Dongye Huanglong soon brought Kuma and his daughter back to his humble wooden hut.

"Huanglong, are the legendary Tontatta really real?" Bonney said excitedly from inside the box. She had spent years in a church in the Sorbet Kingdom, unable to even step outside. She had read many books, and her dream was to travel and adventure to every island with Kuma.

"Bonney, be polite. You should call the Desolate Dragon Group Leader 'Brother'," Kuma said sheepishly, looking at Dongye Huanglong. He had endless doting affection for the somewhat rough Bonney.

"You'll meet them soon. The Tontatta Princess is the Heal-Heal Fruit User, and they are all my friends." Dongye Huanglong said calmly, then began training to awaken Observation Haki under Kuma's guidance. These incredibly fast and small Tontatta would be perfect for Dongye Huanglong to practice his Observation Haki against.

As for Armament Haki, Tyrant Kuma frankly stated that Dongye Huanglong was the most talented man he had ever seen.

With such a powerful physique, a little training would be enough to easily awaken Armament Haki.

Under Tyrant Kuma's guidance for an hour or two, his Armament Haki began to show signs of awakening.

This greatly shocked Tyrant Kuma.

Meanwhile, Mansheli and Leo, summoned by Dongye Huanglong, cautiously observed Tyrant Kuma, this giant human.

"Dongye Lando, is he really your friend?"

Mansheli hopped onto Dongye Huanglong's shoulder, looking at Tyrant Kuma with some fear. His massive body looked quite menacing.

"Hello, Princess of the Tontatta Tribe."

Tyrant Kuma also greeted them with a gentle smile. Especially after learning that this Tontatta Princess was a Heal-Heal Fruit User, his eyes filled with longing.

"Dad, is it really a Tontatta? Can I come out now? I want to see the Tontatta!"

Bonnie asked excitedly from inside the wooden box, eager to experience this wondrous world.

Hearing Bonnie's words, Tyrant Kuma looked at Dongye Huanglong's simple wooden hut and then at the dark clouds in the sky.

There probably wasn't much direct sunlight now, so perhaps he could let Bonnie out for a bit.

However, he still took out a canvas to provide some cover before opening the sealed door of the wooden box.

"Don't come out from inside,"

Tyrant Kuma said gently. Dongye Huanglong, along with Mansheli and Leo, walked to the front of the giant wooden box, allowing Bonnie to see these Tontatta.

"So small!"

Bonnie's eyes sparkled as she looked at Mansheli on Dongye Huanglong's shoulder, wishing she could immediately pick her up.

However, these Tontatta were quite wary, watching Tyrant Kuma and Bonnie.

"Bonnie, wear this Chestnut Hat, and then call me brother. Maybe the Tontatta will warm up to you."

Dongye Huanglong smiled and handed Bonnie a hat carved from wood. He had worn it himself a couple of days ago, which had completely won him the Tontatta's trust.

"Really?"

Bonnie immediately took the Chestnut Hat and looked at the adorable Tontatta with excitement.

"Dongye Lando, is she also one of your people?"

Upon seeing Bonnie's Chestnut Hat, these Tontatta, suffering from their typical facial blindness, immediately assumed Bonnie was also a descendant of Lando, their tone becoming cheerful.
