After arriving at the King's Plateau, Doflamingo did not hand the delivery over to Yami in Dressrosa.
Knowing Yami possessed the Teleport-Teleport Fruit and the Giro Giro no Mi, he directly had Yami take him to an uninhabited island in the New World. Five large sailing ships were docked there.
Inside the five large ships were materials for creating modified humans and clone soldiers.
"Well done, Doffy."
Looking at the five full ships of materials, Yami revealed a satisfied expression, once again giving a high evaluation of Doflamingo's ability to get things done.
"Fuffuffuffu... I'm glad you're satisfied. If it's not enough, just tell me." Doflamingo gave his evil laugh.
"This should be enough for now."
Yami looked at Doflamingo with a meaningful smile: "We've been cooperating for so long, and I've always been the one taking advantage. It's a bit embarrassing!"
"How about this... As long as you find that guy for me within two years, I'll give you a gift. I believe you'll like it very much."
After speaking, Yami didn't give Doflamingo a chance to ask questions. He teleported continuously onto the five ships, then opened an air-door, throwing the five large ships into his different dimension to take back to Amazon Lily's dimension.
After doing this, Yami returned and sent the excited and motivated Doflamingo back to the King's Plateau.
After returning to Amazon Lily, Yami immediately found Nojiko, had her take out the clone soldier manufacturing machines, and then Yami began mass-producing clone soldiers.
Creating one twenty-year-old clone soldier originally took five years.
But after Yami used the Ripe-Ripe Fruit's maturing ability, a clone soldier could be produced in just five days.
The clone army that Vinsmoke Judge needed to spend a large amount of time and money to obtain, Yami, as long as he had enough materials and expended a certain amount of stamina, could create in a few days the military force Judge needed years to accumulate.
The strategic-level deterrence of the Ripe-Ripe Fruit!
Yami only spent a few months to use up all the materials on the five large ships, creating 100,000 clone soldiers.
These clone soldiers are all sleeping in the different dimension, ready to be awakened for battle at any time. They are all fearless of death and absolutely loyal fighters.
Unfortunately, the strength of these fighters is only at the cannon fodder level.
With their "fearless of death" setting, if they fight desperately, they could be on par with the 100,000 Marine elites at the Summit War.
But compared to the Pacifistas, they were still not worth mentioning.
However, in these few months, Yami, who was cultivating his mind, was not without gains.
He successfully obtained the laser technology mastered by Vegapunk and Queen.
Because... the Punk Hazard incident had erupted.
Caesar, who had secret cooperations with Doflamingo, specializing in producing contraband weapons and items, developed a poison gas monster named "Smiley" and called "Land of the Dead." When he was preparing to experiment, he was stopped by the Marines. But Caesar refused, resolutely pressed the button, and detonated Smiley.
This act made Vegapunk unable to tolerate him any longer, expelling him from the science team, and the Marines also arrested him.
But relying on his Logia-type Gas-Gas Fruit ability, Caesar escaped from the prison ship and went into hiding with Doflamingo's help.
Afterward, the Marines issued a bounty poster for Caesar, with a first-time bounty of 300 million Beri.
Smiley's explosion destroyed almost all life on Punk Hazard, and two of the three research labs were blown up.
But one research lab remained intact.
Before the poison gas dissipated, no one could touch the things in that lab for the time being.
If not for Yami, Caesar would have returned to Punk Hazard a year later, purified the island's air, and begun producing artificial Devil Fruits while continuing to develop his "Land of the Dead."
Vegapunk also abandoned everything on Punk Hazard, officially moving to Future Island Egghead to begin research on Pacifistas and Seraphim.
This one-year window meant that the contents of the last research lab on Punk Hazard became Yami's spoils.
Yami not only obtained the laser technology, but also an artificial Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.
That's right, this artificial Mythical Zoan fruit was the same one Kozuki Momonosuke ate in the original story—the artificial Animal-type Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Model: Azure Dragon.
Now, this Devil Fruit had fallen into Yami's hands.
Yami originally wanted to give this fruit to O-Tama.
In the original story, the eight-year-old O-Tama and Kozuki Momonosuke were two extremes.
One was extremely strong-willed, the other was extremely afraid of death.
After coming to Amazon Lily, O-Tama was indeed very promising. She was now Sandersonia's and Marigold's disciple, and they didn't need to worry about her at all.
With this precocious personality, she was simply more suitable for the artificial Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon form than Momonosuke.
At that time, if he matured her to eighteen, O-Tama would absolutely be one of the Black Hole Pirates' super-fighters.
But in the end, Yami did not give this Devil Fruit to O-Tama.
Not because it wasn't suitable, but... Shirahoshi wanted it.
That's right, Shirahoshi proactively requested to become a Devil Fruit user, which made Carina and the girls' jaws drop, and also greatly surprised Yami.
Is this the same Princess Shirahoshi from the original story, who was so kind that she knew who killed her mother but didn't expose the culprit?
Only after hearing Shirahoshi's explanation did Yami's group understand.
It turned out that during the half-year-long world tour last year, Shirahoshi's natural Observation Haki saw many human tragedies. Then, a few months of peace and quiet made the idle mermaid princess fall in love with reading.
The sensible Shirahoshi had an awakening. She understood the heavy responsibility on her shoulders and no longer wanted to be a burden.
Therefore, she proactively requested the omnipotent Lord Yami to let her become a Devil Fruit user.
If this had been before the Punk Hazard incident erupted, Yami would have persuaded Shirahoshi to give up the idea.
After all, her status as the Sea King was very special, and her race was the number one swimmer in the sea. If she became a "hammer" (unable to swim), it would be too much of a pity.
But now, Yami only hesitated for a moment before giving the artificial Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon form to Shirahoshi.
Shirahoshi's physique and her fish "species" were both very compatible with the artificial Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon form.
As long as she eats this Devil Fruit, she can immediately "leap over the dragon gate" and become one of the monsters of the sea.
When she awakens her Sea King powers, she will be even more suited for the title of "World's Strongest Creature" (in sea, land, and air) than Kaido.
Plus, her fishtail had already transformed. Trading the price of becoming a "hammer" for the chance to "leap over the dragon gate" was simply too worth it.
More importantly, Yami would gain a super-mount on the level of the World's Most Beautiful Woman.
