One Piece: Burning the Prison Clothes in the Setting Sun, Mihawk is dumbfounded.

That's all for today!

Dunn waved his hand and turned to walk towards the dock.

Kuina and Zoro, who had just gotten up, looked curiously at Dunn's retreating figure.

That direction isn't towards Ichishin Dojo.

The dock in Shimotsuki Village.

The people on the dock watched in shock as the massive warship approached the pier, but did not get too close.

"It's a naval warship!"

Although I've never seen one before, only naval warships can have this shape and be this big.

Of course, the most important thing is the naval insignia on the huge sails.

"Why are the Navy here? Are there pirates nearby?"

Someone said in a somewhat frightened tone.

His words made many people look fearful.

No pirates had ever come to Shimotsuki Village before, after all, the East Blue is very large and there are very few pirates.

But they had seen plenty of information about the brutality of pirates in the newspapers.

On the dog-headed warship.

"Lieutenant General Garp!"

Garp's adjutant, Marine Headquarters Captain Bogart, stood in front of Garp, stood at attention, and shouted.

Garp, dressed in his navy uniform, was dozing on a beach chair when Bogart's shout startled him awake, causing him to blow snot bubbles.

Garp opened his eyes and yawned.

"arrive?"

"Yes, Vice Admiral Garp, Shimotsuki Village, East Blue."

Bogart turned his head to look at the small island not far away and nodded.

"Okay, you guys wait here."

After standing up and stretching for a bit, Garp looked up at Shimotsuki Village, then leaped over a hundred meters into the air and landed towards the village.

As someone who had followed Garp for over twenty years, Bogart was very familiar with Garp's behavior and was not at all surprised by Garp's actions.

He skillfully directed the navy personnel on the warship to lower anchor and wait on board.

Meanwhile, Garp landed directly on the dock.

His action clearly startled the people on the dock.

Who would jump so high and so far? Before Garp could even speak, the villagers of Shimotsuki Village on the dock scattered like birds and beasts.

Forehead!

Garp scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

I think I scared these people.

and many more!

Garp, who was about to use his Observation Haki to see if he could find the person, paused and turned to look in the direction of the town, which was also the direction in which those people had fled.

A young man dressed in a loose robe walked over slowly.

Suddenly, Garp realized that this boy was the one he was looking for.

Dunn looked calmly at the tall figure standing on the dock and slowly approached.

Compared to the exaggeratedly large monsters on the sea, this body is rather small, but its thick frame contains terrifying power.

Meanwhile, Karp was also sizing up Dunn.

He wasn't very old, looking no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, just as described in the intelligence report.

He has a slender and well-proportioned figure, a steady gait, and looks very powerful.

He is indeed a promising talent.

This is Karp's judgment.

Thinking of this, Karp stood still and watched as Dunn walked up to him.

"Dunner, the Pirate Hunter?"

Karp grinned and asked.

"Hmm, the naval hero Garp?"

Upon hearing the question, Dunn nodded in agreement, then asked a question in return.

"Huh?" Garp was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his already graying hair.

"Looks like I'm still quite famous, hahaha!"

As he spoke, Garp burst into laughter.

"..."

Seeing Karp laughing to himself, Dunn looked at him speechlessly.

People in this world seem to just love to laugh.

"Are you happy?"

Seeing the other person continue laughing, Dunn asked with a helpless expression.

"I'm happy, after all, I'm still quite famous."

Upon hearing the question, Garp stopped laughing and answered Dunn's question in a way that was down-to-earth, or rather, in line with his character.

"Come join the Navy, Dunn! You have great talent, don't waste it."

Garp extended an invitation directly.

"don't want!"

Dunn shook his head directly.

"Why? Isn't being a Marine better than being a pirate hunter?"

Upon hearing Dunn's refusal, Karp withdrew his hand and asked a question out of curiosity.

"I am currently engaged in spiritual practice, so it's not possible."

Dunn thought for a moment and gave an answer.

"You can still train even if you join the Navy; there are many strong individuals in the Navy."

Upon hearing this, Garp chuckled and spoke up.

"But I've heard that if you join the Navy, you have to take orders from the Celestial Dragons," Dunn said softly after a moment of silence.

Karp was taken aback, his smile faded, and after scrutinizing Dunn's face for a while, he slowly nodded.

"I see, I understand."

After saying that, Garp turned around, leaped up, and headed towards the warship.

"Could this old man have misunderstood something?"

Karp's reaction puzzled Dunn.

"Looks like another young man who distrusts the Navy because of the Celestial Dragons."

Karp sighed.

He was well aware of the Celestial Dragons' reputation on the high seas.

Even he himself, the reason he didn't get promoted to general, wasn't it because he didn't want to deal with these annoying guys?

If you don't want to do it yourself, don't force others to.

After landing back on the warship, Garp sat down on a beach chair.

"Set sail and return to headquarters."

"Karp said with his eyes closed."

"Lieutenant General Garp, target?"

Bogart looked at Dunn on the dock with some confusion and asked.

"The person isn't here; they probably came here and then went somewhere else."

With his eyes closed, Garp answered.

Forehead!

Bogart was taken aback. After turning to look at the dock, he immediately ordered the warships to set sail.

Whether what Garp said is true or not is not important; just treat it as true.

On the dock.

Dunn watched as the warship slowly set sail, turned its bow, and left.

Garp is a very easy-going old man.

Shaking his head slightly, Dunn turned back and saw Koushirou with his hands in his pockets in the distance.

"trouble!"

Dunn sighed and walked over.

"Did the Navy come for you?"

Koushirou saw Dunn approaching and asked him a question.

"Yes, they invited me to join the Navy, but I declined."

Dunn nodded in agreement and stated the Navy's objective.

"You refused?"

Koushirou was taken aback.

"Well, I don't want to be in the navy, you know that's my wish."

Dunn began to speak.

"And then you refused, and they just went back so easily?"

"It's Garp who's here."

Dunn looked at Koushirou and said.

Garp?

Koushirou's body trembled.

He knew Dragon's identity, and naturally he also knew that Dragon's father was Vice Admiral Garp of the Navy Headquarters.

Of course, he also knew something about this Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

If it's him, then it's not surprising.

"However, my dual-color Haki has already awakened, so I probably won't stay here for too long."

Dunn began to speak.

"I knew you wouldn't stay here for long, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

Upon hearing Dunn's words, Koushirou was deeply moved.

In less than two months, Dunn had become much stronger.

He could clearly sense that he had even made significant progress in swordsmanship.

"You're going to the Grand Line?"

Koushirou knew that Dunn knew a lot of things, so he asked directly.

"No, I won't go to the Grand Line until I'm absolutely certain I can handle those powerful pirates there."
