Lan Luo and Kaido's battle lasted for two days and two nights, finally ending with Kaido's compromise. He had no choice; all his subordinates had turned into stone statues. Although he himself could escape, his Pirate Crew would be finished.
King was also defeated by Kuina, mainly because the Extremis Virus was a bit unfair; she could recover from injuries, and she also had the recovery ability of a Mythical Zoan. In the end, Kuina broke through and advanced to a Great Swordsman, and she also learned Ryuo during the battle. Lan Luo had taught her the principles before, but she lacked combat experience. This time, facing a real crisis, she integrated everything she had learned.
Lan Luo felt that King suffered a disadvantage due to his Devil Fruit. If he had been a Mythical Zoan with powerful recovery, he definitely could have defeated Kuina. Of course, after her advancement, Kuina wouldn't be able to defeat him.
To Kaido's surprise, Lan Luo did not occupy Wano Country. He only took his daughter, killed Orochi, and supported a woman to become the Shogun, promising that as long as she was protected, they could continue to have the right to mine Sea Stone.
Kaido eventually agreed. After all, in the Pirate World, strength is paramount, and Lan Luo and his crew indeed possessed the strength of a Four Emperors crew.
Lan Luo held the Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Yamata no Orochi in his hand. This was the second Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit he had obtained, not counting the imitation Azure Dragon Fruit he got at Punk Hazard.
Not only that, Lan Luo also obtained three Great Grade Swords. The one from Komurasaki was a trade; he promised her the position of Shogun, and Lan Luo delivered.
Lan Luo didn't want to make any deals with Tenguyama Hitetsu. After directly controlling him, he made him hand over the two famous swords and the Poneglyph he possessed.
Ame no Habakiri, ranked among the Twenty-One O Wazamono. Its scabbard has floral carvings, and its tsuba is three-lobed. It was forged by a famous swordsmith from Wano Country.
Enma, ranked among the Twenty-One O Wazamono. Its scabbard has floral carvings, and its tsuba is three-lobed. It was forged by the famous Wano Country swordsmith Shimotsuki Kozaburo. This sword can absorb Haki and then release Haki power beyond its own through slashes.
Nidai Kitetsu was forged by Kozuki, the ancestor of Tenguyama Hitetsu of Wano Country, and is ranked among the Twenty-One O Wazamono. The hilt of Nidai Kitetsu is similar in appearance to sandai kitetsu.
Robin also obtained the Red Poneglyph. Lan Luo placed the entire Poneglyph into his ring, planning to collect all such texts onto his airship in the future.
On the airship, Nami happily asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Dressrosa. There are two Devil Fruits there that we need to get our hands on." After obtaining Vegapunk's Devil Fruit research data, Lan Luo had always wanted to change the drawbacks of Devil Fruits. Others might not be able to, but with the life-coding function of the Extremis Virus, he could change the fear of seawater. He could modify and create the souls within Devil Fruits. For example, by combining the Mera Mera no Mi and Don Achino's Heat-Heat Fruit, the flame could freely switch between 1 and 10,000 degrees.
"Let's go!" Lan Luo said and then went to the laboratory. Ever since Lan Luo resurrected Vegapunk, he had been helping Lan Luo install the Ark Reactor's particle collider and solve its energy source issues.
Inside, there were over a dozen of Lan Luo's clones and Vegapunk installing the materials for the Ark Reactor.
"The level has been measured, and the refraction angle has been calibrated. We just need to stop the airship. We can't experiment in the air; it's too dangerous," Vegapunk said, seeing Lan Luo continuously making adjustments in his hand.
"Doctor, have you decided to separate your head? Do you want to sign a magic contract so you can also use the clone function?" Lan Luo also wanted to use a magic contract to restrain Vegapunk's conscious splinters.
"My head is too big, which makes experiments inconvenient. I have already perfected the research on brain separation surgery," Vegapunk replied after thinking for a moment.
Lan Luo also wanted to see Vegapunk's clones, so he didn't refuse. If this worked, Lan Luo could add his soul to an AI, and with the regeneration cradle technology, his split consciousness would be powerful. However, he also feared being backlashed if they gained independent thought.
Although Vegapunk had said that his clones all had their own lives, Lan Luo didn't believe it. Didn't Vegapunk in the original story get betrayed by his own clones?
Three hours later, Lan Luo and his group arrived above the Dressrosa Royal Palace.
They opened a Rune Wormhole directly from the airship, stepping through it to arrive inside the Royal Palace on the King's Plateau.
Lan Luo immediately used his Observation Haki to sense. The first person he found was the user of the Heal-Heal Fruit, Princess Mansherry of the Tontatta Tribe. Mansherry was currently alone, imprisoned in a small room deep within the Royal Palace chapel, and seemed to be crying.
Sugar was still at the toy factory, and Lan Luo also sensed Trebol next to her.
The Hobi Hobi no Mi can turn anyone it touches into a toy of the user's choosing, and the type and style of the toy are entirely determined by the user's preferences. For example, the target might be turned into a doll or an animal plushie, etc. However, the size of the target turned into a toy is proportional to their original height before being transformed. Furthermore, people related to the target turned into a toy (such as relatives or friends) will lose "all" memories of having interacted with the transformed individual.
This Devil Fruit was a bit overpowered, so Lan Luo wanted to keep her under his control as much as possible.
"Fufufu, I never expected Lord Lan Luo to visit humble Dressrosa. What an honor," Doflamingo said, slowly emerging from inside, sweat beading on his forehead. He had golden hair, wore sunglasses, a pink feather coat, capri pants, and habitually wore pointed shoes.
Next to him was a secretary. Lan Luo recognized her as Monet, Sugar's older sister, who hadn't undergone surgery yet.
"Doffy, bring Mansherry of the Tontatta Tribe and Sugar up. I need a blood sample," Lan Luo said coldly. He wouldn't be polite to Doflamingo; with his strength, he could simply take them by force.
Doflamingo just laughed wildly, his eyes even seeming to shed tears as he laughed. Lan Luo could see the veins throbbing on his forehead, clearly indicating extreme anger.
After laughing for a while, Doflamingo stopped and said, "Please wait, Lord Lan Luo. I'll have Monet bring them over."
Lan Luo and his group nodded, unceremoniously sitting in the royal hall and activating their Observation Haki.
Not long after, Monet arrived with Sugar and a birdcage. Upon closer inspection of the birdcage, it was revealed to contain Princess Mansherry of the Tontatta Tribe.
Accompanying them were Donquixote Family executives Trebol, Pica, Lao G, and Diamante.
Lan Luo signaled Chopper to take blood samples, then smiled at Doflamingo, "Don't worry, I won't make a move here." He then released his Haoshoku, targeting the Donquixote Family. All the executives instantly lost their fighting power and half-knelt on the ground. Doflamingo, the only one standing, was also drenched in sweat. This was the monster who defeated Kaido; he couldn't even think of making a move.
