Ch. 73 - A new family member

As soon as his voice fell, Crossbones immediately two things from his front, which is the frame of the gun and the barrel.

His movements are very fast that it looks like his hands are dancing.

Meanwhile, Doflamingo looked like he was just learning how to assemble a handgun, which confuses Crossbones who was almost done on assembling the handgun while Doflamingo haven't even started yet.

"You lose! Now release them!" Crossbones yelled at him, as he pointed his gun at him, but he knew that this was useless, so he just hoped that Doflamingo would abide by the rules that he set.

"Fine fine, I'll release them. I've had my fun anyway." Doflamingo said before pressing the button on the remote control.

When Crossbones realized this, it was already too late for him to stop Doflamingo when all of his men's bodies started falling on the ground, like leaves falling from the sky.

"No! You bastard!" Crossbones ran towards the falling point and tried to catch their falling bodies, however he failed to reach there in time and all of their bodies now lay on the ground with broken bones and bloods seeping out of their huge wounds that appeared from the fall.

"Ughh! Captain!" One of his men groaned in pain.

"Hang in there!" Crossbones said while trying to use the radios in one of his men's body, to try calling for backup.

And when the other side of the radio responded to his distress call, Crossbones was about to sigh and relief and explain his situation when Doflamingo suddenly spoke from behind.

"I'm leaving now. By the way, before I forget. I planted 20 bombs all around this warehouse, so good luck saving your comrades." Doflamingo then waved his hand at him playfully before jumping out of the window, followed by the other two masked guys.

"Noo!" Crossbones then started picking up his men and tried to put them all behind his back, however it was already too late as the bombs started going off, starting at the back of the warehouse before slowly reaching his position.

*Boom!* x20

Crossbones tried to run away by atleast saving one of his men, but it was already too late as the explosions finally reached his position, killing not only his men but also himself.

***

Outside the warehouse or atleast what's left, Doflamingo was on top of the rooftop of another building, overlooking towards the warehouse that has already fallen at this time.

"Well that was easy." Doflamingo said, as his phone suddenly rang.

"Moshi Moshi! Doflamingo speaking!" Doflamingo picked it up and started first with a Japanese greeting.

"Doffy, you remember Bruce Banner right? That guy who turns into a BFGG." Matilda's voice spoke through the phone.

"Yeah? I remember asking you to find out where he is, right? Did you find his location." Doffy said.

"Yes. But the bad news is that he's out of country and trying to blend in with a small town in India." Matilda said.

"That's no bad news. Just send me the coordinates of this town, I'll just go there and grab him." Doflamingo shook his head and said.

"Alright, since you said so." Matilda said before hanging up the call and his phone rang once again, but this time it was different as it is the ringtone that indicates that he received a message.

"I should definitely treat her after this. She's been doing a good job." Doflamingo muttered as he searched for the location through Google, which he partially owned by having 46% shares of it.

"I also have many shares with other companies that will soon rise as time goes on. I'll be the fucking richest man in the planet by a few more years." Doflamingo muttered before free falling from the top of the building and disappeared when a portal opened up in the direction where he's falling.

"Hi beauty, you have a very big ass!"

*Boom!*

Suddenly, in one of the alleys, a hot blonde girl with huge ass and breasts kicked the man in the balls, strong enough for him to discover the difference of heaven and earth.

"Don't expose me. I'm in an undercover mission." The woman huffed before he continued walking in a manly manner.

Yes, this is actually Doflamingo, or his clone. Since creating his clone allows him to manipulate some of its features, he made his clone to be as womanly as possible.

Why did he do this? Well, just in case Bruce goes berserk, he doesn't want anyone to see his real face if he fought with the Hulk.

Imagine if that happened and he became the president of America. What would the people think of him if they discover some videos or a rumor spreads that the President is a monster in a human's skin.

Well, he can't afford that to happen. There are many things that will happen if that happened. Which is why he used a disguise this time so just in case the Hulk came out, he could fight with him at ease without worrying his identity going viral.

"He should be somewhere around here?" Doflamingo kept walking before stumbling upon a small condo.

On the third floor, Doflamingo saw Bruce himself, looking around suspiciously before entering one of the rooms, probably the room he rented to live in.

"Gotcha." Doflamingo muttered, before entering the building and walked through the stairs.

***

Inside Bruce's room. After closing the door, he sighed in relief before bringing his groceries to the table and sat on the mat.

Earlier, he tried to look for a cure to Hulk but found none, so he decided to see other methods to kill or suppress the Hulk. In the end, he has to resort on managing his anger issues once again, just like what he did back in Brazil.

"Inner peace." Sitting on the mat, Bruce breathed in and breathed out, while trying to think about positive thoughts instead of negative.

*Knock* Knock!*

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, which caused Brucd Banner to panic and thought that the Military or FBI found out his location.

Just when Bruce was about to find a way to escape, the door was forcefully opened and a woman with blonde hair, walked in.

"Are you Bruce Banner?" When the woman turned her eyes on him, she asked.

"Y-yes. Who are you?" Bruce cautiously asked.

"You might not know me in this form, so how about this." As soon as the woman said that, her force suddenly morphed and turned into a man with a large grin on his face.

Bruce squinted his eyes on this, although he was shocked, but he was more shocked when he remembered who is the man in front of him.

Whenever he turns back into his human form after Hulk, Bruce remembers a little bit of his memories or what happened during Hulk's phase.

And from this memories, he remember this person, the man who thrashed him and treated him and the Abomination as if they're some kind of kids playing around.

"I think I know you." Bruce muttered while pointing at him.

"Of course you do, I kicked yours and your friend's ass a few days ago." Doflamingo chuckled.

"...Why are you here? Look, I don't want any trouble." Bruce thought that Doflamingo was here to settle some grudges, so he tried to become as peaceful as possible, he doesn't want Hulk, rampaging again.

"I'm just the same. In fact, I'm here to offer you something. You're afraid of hurting those people around you right? How about coming with me. You don't have to worry about Hulk. You saw me killing the Abomination, right? It might be hard to believe me but I could stop the Hulk whenever he goes out. I could also solve your problems with the military. Under my protection, not even the Government itself could do anything to you." Doflamingo said before continuing.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Donquixote Doflamingo, you can call me Doffy. I want to extend an invitation for you to join my family." Doflamingo fixed his clothes before formally introducing himself.

"You just want my blood right? You're the same as them, you only want to experiment with me." Bruce replied, suspiciously.

"I don't need your blood. I need your brains. You see, my family lacked a very smart person in Biology. Yes, I already have someone capable of that but he can't be compared to you. You're like Tony Stark but in Biology instead of technology." Doflamingo then praised him.

"....Thanks." Bruce shyly thanked him.

"Look, I'm not forcing you to come with me. I just hoped to help you and use your potential for something good." Doflamingo said before preparing to leave.

Just when he was about to step out of the door, Bruce finally made a decision and voiced out.

"Wait! I'll come with you." Bruce said.

"You won't regret your decision." Doflamingo smiled and said before telling Bruce to pack his things.

After packing his things, Bruce asked him about something.

"How did you even know I was here? And how are we gonna get out of this country? Do you have a private plane or something?"

"Woah, relax. Don't barrage me with too many questions. For your first question, I tracked you with the help of a family member, and yes I have a private plane but we won't be using that because it's too much hassle. Instead, we'll use this." Doflamingo answered his questions one by one, before opening a portal right after he finished his sentence.

"What?" Bruce looked at this phenomenon with shock filled eyes.

"I'll explain later. How about meeting with the others first? And also I'll guide you to your room and the Laboratory." Doflamingo said before stepping inside and waited for Bruce to come out of his shock state and follow him.

"T-this is a gateway between different regions in the universe? Or Portal in short." Bruce muttered as he picked up his duffel bag and entered through the portal, while carefully watching how he goes through, the size, shape and if he felt something weird when crossing through it.

"Amazing." Bruce muttered.

"You'll get a chance to study the portal, how about dropping into your room and meet up with the other members?"
