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

Karp's idea didn't come about overnight.

If he hadn't seen the possibility, perhaps he wouldn't have had this idea.

Because in a more turbulent world, it will be more difficult to maintain justice, and it is better to continue to maintain a superficial calm.

However, Dunn's appearance, and the current situation at sea, represent another possibility.

Karp wouldn't dare say that the other possibility might be better, but change is always a good thing.

He never imagined that the boy he met in the East China Sea would end up like this.

However, based on our interactions, he is at least not the kind of vicious and wicked guy.

"The Navy is not a place where I can dictate everything. Even though I am now the Fleet Admiral, Garp, don't underestimate the Navy."

After sighing, the confusion in Zhan Guo's eyes disappeared, replaced by determination.

"The Warring States period, you must acknowledge it."

Garp smiled as he looked at Sengoku.

"This world can be changed by the power of individuals; one person's power can be so great as to overturn the entire world."

Even with a powerful navy, it's only a matter of time before an uncountable force can destroy it.

But if this person were replaced by Dunn, the time would be very short.

This is also the reason why the naval admiral of the Warring States period was conflicted.

Before this, no one had ever been this powerful.

"It's almost time."

Garp looked at Sengoku, then got up and staggered out.

He was aware of the predicament the Warring States were facing, but that was none of his concern.

Next, will that guy Dunn take action against the entire Wano Country and wipe out the whole country?

……

With the navy's full-scale operation, the search for people inside Wano Country has been nearly completed.

After all, most of the navy's top combat forces have arrived this time.

However, the Navy did not follow the World Government's orders this time.

The three generals stood side by side on a huge warship, looking at the island in the distance that resembled a huge mountain wall. All three of them had solemn expressions.

"What you've done can't be hidden from me."

Akainu's eyes didn't waver as he spoke in a deep voice.

"It was just sinking the ship of the criminals who escaped from the island."

Kizaru pursed his lips in response, seemingly unconcerned.

"Sakazuki, you should understand the consequences of those monsters escaping. If this is an order from the World Government, would you still carry it out?"

Kuzan turned his head slightly to look at Akainu, his expression solemn.

Sakazuki did not offer his own response to what Kuzan said.

"The deed is done, but the most important thing now is what's at hand."

Kizaru spoke up, easing the tension.

He was naturally referring to what might happen next.

"Perhaps I'll have to fight that guy again."

As Akainu spoke, he raised his fist, and black smoke billowed from it.

Kuzan and Kizaru both frowned and stepped back.

"Have you forgotten the outcome of the previous battle? Even before, we couldn't do anything to that guy, and now, he's probably even stronger."

Kizaru shook his head.

His eyes behind the sunglasses were unclear, making it impossible to discern his current thoughts.

"So what? Justice must be served, even at the cost of our lives."

Sakassky spoke in a deep voice.

"Okay then."

A voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing the voice, the three people jolted and then looked up sharply.

"When?"

The three men were horrified and instinctively retreated in three different directions, subtly surrounding the person who had suddenly appeared.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I've never been here before, so I didn't get a good feel for the location."

Dunn stood in mid-air, looking down at the three people below.

The alarms on the warship have already sounded.

Pairs of naval officers appeared, carrying weapons, along with many officers and colonels, all staring solemnly at the figures floating in the air.

Of course, many people couldn't help but show fear on their faces.

"How dare you show your face here? You really don't take the Navy seriously."

Akainu habitually starts by making threats.

"ha?"

Dunn was taken aback when he heard this. After floating down from the air onto the ship, he turned his head to look at Akainu, who was emitting black smoke from his body.

"I dared to personally deliver Whitebeard and his men to your navy before."

Akainu's expression froze, and the scar on his face twitched slightly, clearly showing his embarrassment.

"What are you doing? If you're going to do it, then do it. The Navy has not received orders to arrest you."

Kuzan looked at Dunn with a serious expression.

He couldn't figure out what Dunn was planning to do.

If there is an intention to provoke a conflict with the navy, then things could get quite bad.

"Haha, you actually arrived early."

A loud laugh rang out, and then Karp walked towards Dunn while picking his nose.

When he walked up to Dunn, he put down his nose-picking hand and tried to pat Dunn's shoulder, but Dunn avoided him with a look of disgust.

Garp wasn't embarrassed after missing his target.

"What are you all doing here? Have you finished your business?"

Garp waved to the surrounding Marines who were on guard, and said calmly.

"Lieutenant General Garp."

Upon hearing Garp's words, the surrounding Marines exchanged bewildered glances.

Garp simply waved his hand.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding navy quickly retreated.

"If we really have to take action, there's no point in keeping them alive," Dunn said after nodding slightly.

"Give me some face."

Garp was speechless upon hearing this. Although it was indeed the case, wasn't it inappropriate to say it directly, especially in front of the Navy?

Dunn glanced at Karp, then nodded slightly.

Then his gaze fell once more on the three admirals who had not yet left.

"So, should we stretch our legs a bit? This is a good opportunity for me to warm up; I haven't really been doing much exercise lately."

"Stop! Stop!"

Garp raised his hand to stop him.

"Let's save our actions for next time. You're not here just to target Wano Country this time, are you?"

Karp looked at Dunn with a questioning gaze.

"I've brought you a gift."

Dunn smiled, activated his Observation Haki, and instantly located Sengoku's location.

"Let's go, there's no point in talking to you. We still need to talk to your admiral."

As soon as Dunn finished speaking, a door appeared in front of him, and Dunn stepped inside, disappearing completely from sight.

Garp's expression froze on his face, his eyes somewhat vacant.

The three generals looked at each other, their brows furrowed.

"Wait, is this a Devil Fruit ability? I didn't know the Flame-Flame Fruit could do something like this."

Kizaru's tone was somewhat exaggerated.

"This isn't the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit at all."

Akainu's expression was extremely solemn.

What else is this guy hiding?

Has the rule of only being able to eat one fruit been broken?

……

The temporary office during the Warring States period.

Dunn stepped out.

Sengoku looked up at Dunn as he emerged from the green portal, his pupils suddenly contracting.

"Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit".

Zhan Guo spoke in a deep voice.

"Good eye."

Dunn nodded upon hearing this, showing no intention of hiding anything.

After he finished speaking, he walked to a seat to the side and sat down.

"What other abilities do you possess?"

Sengoku stared at Dunn and spoke again.

"Well, although I do mind, I won't just tell you that. Besides, are you sure you want to argue about this with me right now?"

Upon hearing this, Dunn smiled and asked in return.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Dunn's current state, Sengoku understood that Dunn had no intention of making a move.

It seems like there's something to say.

"I just wanted to ask you what the future of the Navy is!"

"How do I do it?"

Sengoku frowned and looked at Dunn. He naturally understood what Dunn wanted to ask, but it was interesting that the words came from Dunn's mouth.

"We can both foresee what will happen in the future. I will not stop. It will only end when one side is completely defeated or even disappears, and that time will not be long."

Dunn made it clear directly.

"You want the Navy to be on your side?"

When Zhan Guo spoke, his tone sounded somewhat speechless.

He was indeed speechless.

Dunn is indeed powerful.

But is it really possible to win over the navy with just empty words?

"no."

Dunn shook his head.

"I just hope the Navy will stay out of future disputes."

"Do you think this is possible? And why should I agree to it?"

The Warring States period shook its head.

"No matter what happens in the future, there will still be a force needed to maintain order in the world. The Hunter Guild is not suitable. Its existence means that the organization will be very loose and cannot do such a thing."

Dunn spoke calmly.

"Therefore, the existence of the navy is necessary, but the future navy will no longer need to obey anyone's will and act solely for the sake of justice."

Dunn sighed.

"I have no interest in becoming the king of the world."

Deng En's words startled Sengoku, who then looked at Deng En with a puzzled expression.

"If you don't want to, then what about your current conflict with the World Government?"

"Would you believe me if I said it was just a coincidence?"

Dunn looked at the Warring States period.

"However, I really couldn't stand it, so I took action."

That strike on the Red Line was a declaration to the world that it was about to change.

"Alright."

Sengoku's lips twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, but he didn't know whether he should or not. In short, his expression became extremely strange.

Garp and his group, who walked in from outside, broke Sengoku's composure.

"A large part of the reason the World Government controls the Navy is due to its funding. Apart from that, you can easily handle everything else. It's a simple matter, isn't it?"

Dunn glanced at the people who came in and spoke again.

"Where's the gift? What did you give?"

Upon hearing this, Garp started shouting.

The Warring States period looked puzzled.

"There!"

Dunn raised his hand and pointed to the location of Wano Country.

"Wano Country?"

Karp was taken aback and asked in confusion.

If it were Wano Country, would you need to send it?

"An ancient weapon is buried beneath Wano Country."

"Pluto!"

Lieutenant General Crane spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes, it's Hades."

Dunn nodded.

Those around him looked surprised, clearly unaware of the news beforehand.

"A massive warship comparable to a country."

Dunn stood up as he spoke.

"Think about it. But whether you agree or not, you can have everything in Wano Country."

Dunn said this as he walked outside.

"Wait, aren't you worried we'll use this against you?"

Karp stared wide-eyed at Dunn in astonishment.

Dunn paused, turned to look at Garp, gave him a look, and then left.

Garp raised his hand and scratched his head.

"Even Hades poses no danger to him. If he can destroy the entire island, then destroying the Ancient Weapons is not difficult. In the end, the Ancient Weapons are still used to deter the maritime nations."

Lieutenant General Tsuru explained.

Pluto is useful to the Navy, but not so much to Dunn.

Even if Hades is powerful, it's still only as powerful as a single strike from Dunn himself, and it's not even as powerful as a single strike from him. So what's the point?

But it's different for the navy.

An ancient weapon of immense power, it has a considerable deterrent effect in the hands of the navy.

"Pluto?"

Sengoku took a deep breath and looked up at the arriving crowd.

"Have the navy withdraw from Wano Country, and have other warships retreat and leave the waters surrounding Wano Country."

Sengoku didn't know how powerful Dunn's attack would be, but he felt that Dunn wouldn't spend a lot of time cleaning up Wano Country's interior.

He recalled Dunn's previous actions, which is why he gave such an order.

"Yes, I gave the order before I came."

Lieutenant General Crane nodded.

When Dunn arrived, she knew she couldn't stay in Wano Country any longer, so she gave the order in advance.

"Marshal Sengoku, what did he mean by what he said earlier?"

Akainu looked at Sengoku and asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo felt a headache coming on. After thinking for a moment, he simply repeated what Dunn had said earlier.

Kuzan and Garp remained calm, Kizaru's expression changed slightly but he didn't speak, while Akainu frowned deeply.

"This was the choice he gave us."

Lieutenant General Tsuru glanced at the crowd around him and began to explain softly.

"This choice is crucial for the Navy; you could even say it determines whether the Navy will continue to exist."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the Warring States period.

"Moreover, this kid did it on purpose. As long as the Navy chooses not to take action in the future, it can be confirmed that they are at odds with the World Government. If the World Government wins, the Navy will face a purge."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo nodded.

He could naturally have thought of Lieutenant General Tsuru's reminder.

Although Dunn said he wanted the Navy to remain neutral, the current situation is that the Navy is not qualified to maintain neutrality.

Of course, perhaps in Dunn's eyes the navy could prevail, because in Dunn's eyes, victory was inevitable.

Everyone looked to Sengoku, but Sengoku was unable to make a decision at that moment.

Moreover, he knew that news of Dunn's appearance and conversation with him had probably already reached the World Government.

He didn't think the navy was a monolithic entity.

Even though the World Government's personnel were intentionally isolated, some inevitably remained loyal to the World Government.

"Never mind, let's deal with the immediate matter first. Since he said so, let's get Hades into our hands first."

After careful consideration, the Warring States period made its decision.

Putting everything else aside, getting Pluto might give us more leverage.

No matter what the future holds, having more leverage is always a good thing.
