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

Dunn's own strength had a great influence on many naval officers, to the point that the beliefs of many were shaken.

Sengoku knew this, Vice Admiral Tsuru knew it, and everyone else knew it too, but Dunn's existence was like a mountain suddenly standing in front of the Navy, changing the entire situation of the sea in a very short time.

He is a figure who changed this era.

Sengoku's gaze fell on Garp, who seemed rather listless, but Garp didn't meet his eyes, as if he was lost in thought.

"Let's deal with the immediate situation first. Although the situation in Wano Country is not good, there must still be a large number of people inside who have not been affected. We must find these people and evacuate them as soon as possible. Tsuru, I'm leaving this matter to you."

Sengoku changed the subject, clearly not wanting to continue discussing Dunn's matter.

The others, naturally, refrained from continuing the conversation about Dunn and filed out to carry out the orders. Even the admirals, such as Kizaru, stood up.

"Okay." Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded, glanced at Garp, and then got up to leave. He had obviously noticed Garp's distraction, but did not ask any further questions.

A moment later, only Garp and Sengoku remained.

Under Sengoku's gaze, Garp snapped out of his daze and turned his attention to Sengoku's face.

"The situation in Wano Country is exactly as I expected, just like the situation in that other place."

Garp's expression turned serious, and his tone became very low.

"I know what you're trying to say."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo frowned, but his tone was somewhat disappointed.

He suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for the naval trio he formed with Garp and Azur when they were young.

At that time, they didn't know much; they only thought about capturing the evil pirates and contributing to the peace of the sea.

"Similar things are rare. It really was it. And that guy Rocks too..."

Garp smacked his lips, his tone revealing his displeasure.

"The matter of God Valley is long gone."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku wanted to gently tap the table to remind Garp to be careful with his words, but when his hand landed, it became lighter.

"Warring States Period, you should know that's not what I'm talking about."

Garp stared wide-eyed at Sengoku's face, but unfortunately, he couldn't read Sengoku's mind.

"The Navy cannot escape the control of the World Government. You should know that the World Government has been somewhat uneasy about the Navy lately, which is why it has taken some action."

The people of the Warring States period were somewhat numb.

Sitting in this position is really stressful.

Part of it was something the Navy had to do, part was an order from the World Government, and part was something he himself had to do.

"Sengoku, you're usually very smart, but why have you become so stupid now? The World Government's actions prove that they can't completely control the navy, and that's the opportunity."

Dunn's existence forces the World Government to focus most of its attention on him, which may also present an opportunity for the Navy.

As he spoke, Garp stood up and turned to face the door.

"At that time, the Navy might be able to do what it truly wants to do."

Upon hearing Garp's words, Sengoku paused, then let out a long breath.

"Take care of what's in front of us first. If Dunn really comes, we'll need you."

After taking a breath, Zhan Guo leaned back in his chair and said in a low voice.

"You need to watch out for those guys. Back in Impel Down, they already had the idea of ​​starting a conflict; they clearly intended to..."

Karp strode outside, leaving behind this remark.

Sengoku naturally understood what Garp had left behind.

During the Impel Down incident, the World Government wanted to take advantage of the situation to deal with those around Dunn. If they succeeded, it would inevitably lead to a direct conflict between Dunn and the Navy.

Fortunately, the situation hasn't gotten to the worst point.

"It seems that the navy is ultimately just a tool."

Warring States period muttered to himself, his voice barely audible.

He knew that in the eyes of the World Government, if Dunn could disappear, the World Government would not hesitate to sacrifice the entire Navy, or even half the world.

Dunn is far more dangerous than anyone in the past who has tried to destabilize the world government.

Even if Dunn disappears, the World Government can still easily establish world order and reorganize another navy.

Zhan Guo's lips twitched slightly. He stood up, supporting himself on the table in front of him, and turned to look at the banner hanging behind him.

……

As the elite of the navy, the navy that came this time had strong operational capabilities, especially with a large number of powerful generals.

However, Wano Country is already corrupt internally, and the situation is extremely bad.

Monsters infected by this evil power and turned into demons simply have their inner malice become so powerful that it controls their behavior.

Simply put, having a brain is far more dangerous than not having one.

They will consciously attack other normal people, which means that at least 80% of people can no longer be called human beings.

And this evil force is spreading wildly.

According to the World Government's orders, the Navy cannot stop this spillover, but some people clearly don't think so.

On the frozen sea, Kuzan stood on the ice, looking at the ship completely frozen in front of him.

The ship that left Wano Country was not only frozen solid, but the monsters on board, with their hideous faces and non-human features, were also frozen solid.

Swish!

A golden light gathered beside Kuzan, and Kizaru, dressed in a yellow striped suit, appeared beside him with his hands in his pockets.

"Hey, Kuzan, this isn't the same as an order."

Kizaru pouted as he spoke, his brown sunglasses obscuring his eyes, making his expression somewhat enigmatic.

"Releasing these things out would be a disaster; once they're released, it's practically impossible to control them."

Kuzan didn't seem to care that Kizaru had discovered his actions; instead, he offered an explanation.

"That's true, but you're doing it too slowly."

Kizaru muttered something, his right hand, which was in his pocket, twitched. He raised his hand and pointed his index finger at the frozen ship and monster on the sea. Then, a golden beam of light shot out from his index finger.

The ice-covered ships that were hit were instantly reduced to a shower of ice crystals.

"Wow, your power..."

Kizaru frowned, his tone somewhat surprised.

As a colleague, Kizaru was very familiar with Kuzan's power, but now Kuzan's use of ice abilities was clearly even stronger.

"Should we do it?"

Kuzan didn't reply, but instead asked a question in return.

Kizaru nodded as he watched the scene transform into countless ice crystals after being swept by the golden light.

"Alright, it's good to stretch our legs a bit before that guy arrives."

Kuzan nodded slightly upon hearing this. "Then we need to act quickly. The current situation doesn't allow us to waste any more time. It won't be easy to block these guys; some have already gone too far."

"So, those are yours to handle, Admiral Kizaru."

"You really know how to order people around, General Kuzan."

After making a sarcastic remark, Kizaru's body transformed into golden light and soared into the sky.

After Kizaru left, Kuzan didn't rest either, continuing his own actions.

Many in the Navy were aware of Kuzan's actions, but no one talked about it.

Even Akainu, who strictly enforces the law against the World Government, didn't pay much attention to this matter.

boom!

Lava erupted directly in the heart of Wano Country's Flower Capital.

Standing atop a dilapidated building, Akainu, cigar in mouth, gazed at the scene before him with a hostile expression.

Compared to not long ago, the Flower Capital can now be described as a ghost town or a demon castle.

Many battles had clearly taken place here; the small Flower Capital was already unrecognizable before Akainu arrived.

The people who used to live here—no, they can no longer be called human beings.

This place has been completely turned into a monster's lair.

Facing the swarming monsters, Akainu slightly bent his knees, leaped into the air, and as his right fist pulled back, it completely transformed into lava.

boom!

Countless lava flows fell from the sky.

Similar scenes are unfolding within Wano Country.

Of course, the methods might not be as decisive as Akainu's, but the results are similar.

A flash of light, and the surrounding demonic monsters were beheaded with a single strike.

Gion, who hadn't sheathed his sword, looked at the monsters that were still moving after being beheaded, his eyes filled with solemnity.

"These things are really dangerous. If they really spread, the world will be in danger."

Seeing that Gion had stopped attacking, Chaton quickly spoke up.

"Let's go in and find someone. This should be a mine; I can sense there are still people inside."

Gion ignored Chaton and instead gave orders to the female marines behind him.

"These guys aren't dead yet."

Chaton stepped forward, his hands, covered in Armament Haki, flipping over the body of a headless monster, and said to Gion.

"We're just temporarily unable to move, but these things..."

After hearing Chaton's words, Gion, who had given the order, stepped forward, flipped a monster over, and frowned.

"I can still use my previous abilities."

Chaton picked up where Gion left off.

If it were just a matter of losing one's mind and turning into a mindless monster, that would be one thing.

If, after becoming like this, one can still use their previous methods, then it will be extremely dangerous.

The blades flashed again, this time more intensely, flying from the sword in Gion's hand and completely shattering the monsters in front of him. Their previously moving bodies now remained completely still.

"fine!"

Gion nodded gently.

"Act quickly, we don't have much time."

With only three days to go, Zhiyuan didn't think Dunn was just making empty promises.

Perhaps, in three days, this island, this country, will be completely gone.

"That guy..."

Upon hearing Gion's words, Chaton, who had been crouching down to examine the monster's body, stood up.

"They're really tough to deal with now."

Gion didn't respond this time.

Because this is a consensus.

The Navy was moving quickly, and Dunn was moving as well.

With a flash of fire, an island with tens of thousands of inhabitants vanished completely in the flames, as if it had never existed at all.

The flames coalesced in the sky to form Dunn's body.

He looked down at the sea below, where only steam remained, his expression calm.

"This won't work."

Dunn shook his head slightly.

To completely resolve this, we need to work on Im.

Ultimately, these people are all spare bodies left behind by Im. As long as Im, the instigator, is dealt with, these people will be irrelevant.

After all, there are too many of them. If we really wanted to clean them up, we would probably have to wipe out the entire ocean.

Putting aside the large amount of time it takes, even Dunn himself isn't sure if he can continue doing something like this.

"A lockdown?"

Dunn raised his hand and touched his chin, analyzing how to deal with Im's ability.

Simply killing Im is useless; she can easily transfer to other people, seemingly without any limitations.

Of course, it's impossible to have no restrictions.

But how to control Im's ability?

If this can be done, killing Im will not be a difficult task for Dunn now.

"A lockdown is difficult, but isolation is possible."

Dunn suddenly paused, an idea flashing through his mind.

Or perhaps he had this idea before, but it was somewhat vague at the time.

Now that I think about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible.

With this in mind, Dunn said he took out a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter).

"President!"

Crocodile's voice rang out.

Looking at the Den Den Mushi's excessively dark circles, Dunn twitched the corner of his mouth.

Isn't it a bit too much to exploit this crocodile's labor like this?

"How's the investigation into those special islands going?"

Although I think this way, it's just a thought; taking a break is impossible.

"What's special... Oh, I see."

Crocodile was taken aback at first, then seemed to realize something.

"There is some news, but the situation is somewhat special."

Upon hearing this answer, Dunn's eyes lit up.

"Explain in detail."

"Indeed, many of the situations mentioned by the president have occurred. However, these special islands seem to appear only at specific times or under special circumstances. Often, it is the people who first discovered them who have landed on these islands."

But when they tried to search for them again, the islands had vanished, as if they had never existed.

"Um."

Dunn gave a soft "hmm" to indicate that he was listening.

"I sent people to the location mentioned in the message, and there were indeed no islands there, but the message didn't seem fake, and this kind of thing isn't actually uncommon."

Crocodile clearly found this matter quite peculiar, and he seemed much more alert when he reported it.

"Add more people to continue investigating this matter."

Dunn gave Crocodile a mission.

"Um, President, all our current staff are still focused on the exams. We need to make sure the whole of Dahai is aware of them and select suitable candidates. This requires a lot of manpower."

Crocodile clearly felt somewhat embarrassed.

"That's what you need to consider."

"..."

Dunn's words silenced the Den Den Mushi.

"I understand!" After a long while, Crocodile's voice finally came through the Den Den Mushi.

"However, there are now many spies infiltrated within the guild, and I can confirm that many of them are from the World Government."

"It's alright. As long as these people don't cause any trouble, don't deal with them for now. Let them do the work, or hand this matter over to them."

Dunn's expression shifted, and then he spoke.
