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

"Could it be related to these two people?"

Guina pulled out two World Economic News newspapers from behind her back and looked at the headshots of the two people in the newspapers.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea: Doflamingo the Heavenly Demon and Jinbe the Knight of the Sea."

Hearing Kuina's words, Zoro leaned over and curiously looked at the people in the two newspapers.

"Could it be that Dunn has connections with these two people?"

Zoro stroked his chin and said.

"That's not a good thing. Dunn is probably no match for those two now."

Kuina looked at the newspaper's comments about the two.

These are all great pirates from the New World. Doflamingo even became the king of a country, so he must have some very powerful subordinates.

And Jinbe, the knight of the sea, is a fish-man. It is said that fish-men are generally at least ten times stronger than humans.

The fact that they were recruited by the Navy as Shichibukai speaks volumes about their strength.

A hint of worry flashed in Guina's eyes.

"Definitely not. Didn't Dunn say he wouldn't be going to the Grand Line anytime soon? Those two are both on the Grand Line."

Zoro suddenly said.

Despite Zoro's seemingly absent-minded demeanor, he always manages to spot some brilliant ideas.

"That's right!"

Guina snapped out of her daze and suddenly realized what was going on.

Dunn did say that; she was misled by the fact that Dunn had read two newspapers before.

Let's go!

Kuina put down her newspaper and waved to Zoro.

"What are you doing?"

Zoro looked puzzled.

"Go to the village to buy things. You forgot, Father asked us to buy ingredients so that he can treat Dunn to a big farewell feast after the battle is over."

Kuina understood what Koushirou meant and explained it to Zoro.

……

the other side.

The island where Dunn and Koushirou fought before is no longer suitable for combat.

Or rather, it's no longer suitable for this battle.

The island wasn't very big to begin with, and sometimes the high tide would submerge most of it.

After nearly a year of ravaging by the two, the area of ​​the island above water has shrunk considerably.

As they headed towards the more distant islands, Dunn leaned quietly against the ship's railing, gazing at the vast sea, seemingly lost in thought.

Of course, this is what Koushirou saw.

But the truth is, Dunn is looking at his data dashboard.

……

The improvement over the past year or so is significant.

Needless to say, their physical condition improved significantly once again.

The areas that were initially not very noticeable due to insufficient improvement in physical condition are now becoming clearer.

Improving physical fitness is an all-round improvement.

Now, with every increase in his physique, his strength increases by a significant amount.

At first, it might have just been about adding a little bit of strength or physique to a person, but now it's different.

After all, at his level of physical strength, any further increase would be extremely difficult.

Even for him, the rapid transformation he was previously told about has disappeared, and he has now undergone a continuous transformation.

As for the rest...

His swordsmanship and Haki skills were greatly enhanced, and he naturally didn't stop developing his Devil Fruit abilities.

Or rather, his Devil Fruit ability was also improving while he was practicing swordsmanship, and combined with his own development of the Devil Fruit, it is now the one he has mastered the best.

At the very least, he can now easily replicate the methods that Ace mastered in development. Of course, not only that, he can now also imitate the methods of Yamamoto.

But what surprised him most was that Yan was evolving into a black blade.

Although the evolution level is still very low, as long as we can see improvement, that is a goal.

Moreover, when Koushirou was teaching him swordsmanship and Haki, he repeatedly mentioned that everything in the world has its own breath.

He could now vaguely sense his own pulse or breathing.

It was a strange feeling.

It's like all things have a spirit.

But my current perception is very vague; perhaps I need to continue improving my Observation Haki.

However, the interface already provides a method for turning the weapon into a black blade.

Regardless, his strength has increased many times over compared to when he first arrived in this world a year ago.

Therefore, this fight with Koushirou is to find out exactly how strong I am.

As Dunn pondered this, his gaze fell upon Koushirou, and he saw Koushirou's calm eyes.

"I will go all out this time; I am no longer confident of defeating you."

"Okay, that's what I hope for too. I also want to make sure that I haven't wasted this year."

Dunn stood up. His body, which was just over two meters tall, did not look bulky; rather, it was slender but not thin.

"No waste?"

Koushirou's expression turned strange.

No matter who you are, even if it takes ten years, let alone a year, to achieve the kind of improvement that Dunn did is something to be overjoyed about.

However, he didn't know that Dunn was comparing himself to Wang Lufei.

From a rookie pirate who didn't even know Haki when he set sail, he mastered Conqueror's Haki in just over two years, and even awakened his Devil Fruit.

Compared to Wang Lufei, my progress is too slow.

The good thing is that Wang Lufei hasn't set sail yet.

His progress is rapid, and within a few years, he may very well stand at the top of this world.

However, as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Dunn shook his head.

Improving strength is very important.

But Dunn suddenly remembered that Robin seemed to be just over twenty years old this year. At that age, she was still hiding in the West Blue to avoid being captured by the Navy and the World Government.

Thinking about this, Dunn became somewhat distracted.

Koushirou quietly maneuvered the small boat and stopped it near a small island further away from Shimotsuki Village.

"Let's get ready to begin. Kuina and Zoro are probably already waiting."

As he spoke, Koushirou, holding onto Wado Ichimonji, leaped from the ship and landed on the beach of the small island.
