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

The most important thing in this town, of course, is the rewards prepared for this exam.

A large number of Devil Fruits.

The sheer number of Devil Fruits gathered here is an immense temptation for the vast majority of people on this ocean.

Led by the guild members, Dunn arrived at the place where the Devil Fruits were stored.

This is the underground location of the Town Hunter Guild.

Although it was built in a hurry, the facilities here are quite complete.

"You wait here."

Dunn waved his hand and then opened the closed door.

"who!"

A voice suddenly rang out, followed by a burst of lightning.

"It's rare that you've stayed here for so long."

Dunn spoke.

Through his tear-filled eyes, Enel, who was sitting cross-legged on a high platform, was stunned.

Why can't I see you in my heart's web?

Enel leaped up and landed right in front of Dunn.

"If your mental network continues to grow stronger, you will be able to do the same."

After giving an explanation, Dunn looked Enel up and down.

"Should we continue to get stronger?"

Enel nodded repeatedly.

He now has a much broader perspective than before, but he doesn't underestimate himself.

"You know my situation here on Sky Island."

Enel, being stared at by Dunn, began to explain.

"Besides, I am now the honorary vice president of the Hunter's Guild. The guild has entrusted me with such an important position, so I can't afford to make any mistakes."

Enel said with his head held high and great pride.

"Honorary Vice President?"

Dunn smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

However, this is probably something Crocodile tricked Enel into doing.

It's just a title.

It would be good if we could motivate Enel.

"Well done."

Dunn gave Enel his approval.

"Of course, with me here, no one would dare to come here and steal these Devil Fruits."

Enel waved his hand, and the entire underground space lit up.

Huge wooden shelves appeared in the light, almost filled with boxes; at a glance, there were at least a hundred.

"But President, I remember this thing is very precious."

Seeing that Dunn's gaze had fallen on these shelves, Enel walked to the side and spoke.

"These are rare treasures in Qinghai. Are we really going to give them all away this time?"

Upon hearing Enel's words, Dunn smiled, casually walked to the nearest shelf, and opened the box in front of him.

A banana-shaped Devil Fruit with peculiar patterns appeared in the box.

"They're just some Devil Fruits. I can take out dozens whenever I want."

Of course, the price was dozens of Devil Fruit users.

"what?"

Enel, who was following behind Dunn, looked surprised.

"There were very few Devil Fruits before, only about ten, but recently there have been a sudden increase, with Devil Fruits being delivered almost every day."

Enel, upon hearing Dunn's words, assumed that Dunn was right and made his move.

"Well, that's because there are more Devil Fruit users now, and the seas have been turbulent lately. With more Devil Fruit users dying, more Devil Fruits are naturally appearing."

Dunn wasn't surprised.

Not to mention the ability users who escaped from Impel Down, the numerous battles that have occurred on the high seas during this period have undoubtedly resulted in the deaths of a large number of ability users.

The number of Devil Fruits currently listed in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia is fixed.

With more people possessing abilities, the number of Devil Fruits that can be found will naturally decrease.

However, with more Devil Fruit users dying, the number of Devil Fruits appearing on the sea will naturally increase.

Many Devil Fruits, before they could be found and eaten by anyone, were discovered by hunters from the Hunter Guild and then brought here.

"Crocodile said before that he wanted to give a portion of the rewards to the hunters in the current guild."

Enel thought for a moment and then said.

"It's not impossible, but we'll talk about it after things here are settled."

Dunn waved his hand and said.

"Um."

Enel nodded repeatedly, looking very interested.

It seems this guy really considers himself a member of the guild; he has a pretty strong sense of belonging.

It seems Crocodile played a significant role, successfully persuading the audience.

"Deer-Deer Fruit - Deer Form"

Dunn put the fruit back in his hand and looked at the label on the outside.

"These are mostly animal-based fruits, and there are quite a lot of them, including many from aquatic animals."

Enel said with a strange expression.

"In the water?"

Dunn was also taken aback.

"Yes, but the quantity is indeed very small compared to others."

Enel wasn't surprised; he was simply stating a fact.

Dunn found it somewhat interesting, but didn't think much of it.

However, those who eat these fruits will be in trouble.

If it were truly an aquatic animal, eating it would turn it into a landlubber, rendering the fruit's maximum power useless; it could only be used to enhance physical strength or serve a special purpose.

But then you think about Kaido's Fish-Fish Fruit.

It's normal to have others as well.

"Go further in and you'll find Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, and at the very back there are a few Logia-type ones too."

Enel noticed that Dunn didn't react much, so he began to explain the situation.

"What kinds of natural sciences are there?"

Dunn nodded upon hearing this, not surprised, but just asking casually.

"Swamp, vines, mud, ice, soil, gale."

Enel recalled for a moment and then said.

"Um!"

Dunn nodded.

If used properly, and the person who eats the fruit is quite strong, then the Logia type can indeed play an extraordinary role.

However, the last three...

"Ice, mud, gale?"

Dunn glanced at Enel, then stepped into the depths.

"The effect is probably not as good as that of the admiral."

Enel caught up and explained.

"You know?"

Dunn asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, the Ice-Ice Fruit user was a pirate who was surrounded and killed by our guild's hunters. However, he could only create some ice weapons and small-scale ice, not something a Marine Admiral could do to freeze the sea."

"It could also be that the ability users are too weak, uh, that's what Crocodile said."

Enel explained.

It might be a lower-ranking fruit.

Dunn nodded slightly, thinking to himself.

While the strength of a user's ability is not entirely determined by the fruit itself, the fruits themselves should indeed have varying degrees of power.

Of course, this doesn't necessarily represent actual strength.

However, these three methods are definitely quite useful.

Especially that soil.

Although it's unclear whether there have been any rumors about this fruit on the high seas in recent years, if the user who ate this fruit were to develop its abilities to the fullest extent, it would be incredibly useful, not to mention reaching the level of the three admirals, even just getting close to it.

If the soil doesn't disappear or dissolve after contact with seawater, then the effects of the Soil Fruit will be even greater.

Perhaps it's possible to create islands and landmasses out of thin air.

With that thought in mind, Dunn went to the six boxes at the deepest part of the room, opened them one by one, and glanced at them.

They each have their own unique characteristics.

The Ice Fruit has a crystal-jelly-like texture; the Earth Fruit is yellowish-brown like a pineapple; and the Gale Fruit is blue with wind patterns.

After picking them up and examining them, Dunn put them back.

Although he is now certain that he is not limited in quantity and can eat more Devil Fruits.

However, these three stones did not help him much.

Are there any Ancient or Fantasy Zoan-type species?

After closing the box, Dunn asked.

"Yes, there are a few ancient species, but only one fantasy species."

As soon as he finished speaking, Enel's body transformed into a bolt of lightning, then instantly solidified back into a body, holding a box in his hand.

"Zoan Type, Wolf-Wolf Fruit, Three-Headed Wolf"

As he spoke, he handed the box to Dunn.

"A three-headed wolf?"

Dunn shook his head, took it, opened it and took a look. The round Devil Fruit had three protrusions, which looked like three wolf heads.

"Consider it a reward later."

After taking one look, Dunn lost interest.

"Most of those ancient species are dinosaurs or something, and a few are wild beasts."

Enel said this with a hint of disdain in his tone.

Having eaten what is said to be the most powerful Devil Fruit, he naturally looked down on these other fruits.

"Okay, let's organize this first, then see the size of the participants in this exam, and then decide how much to allocate."

"I don't want to get involved in that."

Enel shook his head.

In his view, this was definitely a big problem.

"Let Crocodile handle it."

"President!"

A voice rang out from outside.

"The Whitebeard has arrived and requests to see you, Chairman."

The sounds outside were uneventful, lacking any apparent emotional fluctuation.

"Bring him down."

Dunn spoke, and then there was silence outside.

"That guy is tough to deal with; I don't think I'm a match for him."

Upon hearing the name "Whitebeard," Enel spoke with a solemn expression.

"Well, that's normal. If you can defeat him, there won't be many people on this ocean who can deal with you. Maybe only I can."

Dunn turned to look at Enel and said.

Although Whitebeard is old, his strength hasn't declined much from his peak. If it weren't for his physical condition, he would be even stronger.

Enel himself had not experienced any life-or-death battles. Although his Devil Fruit ability was powerful, his combat experience, fighting spirit, and raw strength were significantly inferior to Whitebeard's.

They can only hold them off for a while thanks to their Devil Fruit abilities.

But a powerful figure like Whitebeard would surely have his own way of dealing with a Logia-type Devil Fruit user like Enel.

Enel was somewhat unconvinced by Dunn's words, but he didn't say much.

However, the thought of Bibi was on everyone's mind.

Shortly after, heavy footsteps sounded outside, then the door opened and the white-bearded man walked in.

After glancing around, he spotted Dunn and Enel in the distance.

"So, what exactly do you plan to do with us?"

The white-bearded man walked toward Dunn, saying as he did so.

"So you've really accepted your fate?"

Seeing the white-bearded man approach and hearing his words, Dunn smiled and spoke.

"A loss is a loss. I don't have many people who refuse to admit defeat. But what are your thoughts?"

Whitebeard remembered that Dunn said a huge change was about to happen on the high seas.

He also wanted to see what Dunn was planning to do.

"The Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates are gone. The era of pirates is coming to an end."

Seeing the white-bearded man approaching, Dunn walked to the shelf beside him, opened a box, and looked at the Devil Fruits inside.

The Paramecia-type Magnet-Magnet Fruit is only one generation different from the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, but their power is worlds apart.

"Gurarararar, Dunn, I admit you're strong, but the current state of the ocean isn't something you can decide with just a few words. You seem to be certain that you can defeat the World Government."

The white-bearded man looked at Dunn, his gaze falling on the box in front of Dunn, then sweeping over the hundreds of boxes around him, somewhat shocked.

"While pirates will not completely disappear, their era has indeed passed."

Dunn turned to look at the white-bearded man, his tone firm.

"When I say it's over, it's over."

"As for the World Government, I don't even consider it a threat."

Dunn's words made the white-bearded man's expression stiffen. Thinking about what Dunn had just said, the white-bearded man stared at Dunn with a solemn expression.

"No matter how strong you are, you can't suppress the entire ocean by yourself."

That's because you're not strong enough.

Dunn smiled upon hearing this and replied.

Am I not strong enough?

The white-bearded man's eyelids twitched, but considering that he had lost to the person in front of him, he realized that what he said wasn't wrong.

"That's how it is. Although I never intended to actually rule the world, giving most people a new way of life seems like a good idea."

Dunn turned around and closed the box.

"Relying on your Hunter's Guild? Without people, they'll have a hard time surviving."

Whitebeard admitted that if Dunn were willing to do it himself, it might actually be possible.

However, if Dunn doesn't do it, then no matter how powerful the Hunter's Guild is, it won't be able to do it.

"What if the navy and the revolutionary army are included?"

"If it really doesn't work, then let's see what direction they can take the world in."

Dunn shook his head slightly.

"What do you mean by that?"

Whitebeard sensed something else in Dunn's words.

"I probably won't be in this world for long. If you're still alive before I leave, I won't kill you."

Dunn's words left Enel completely bewildered.

But Whitebeard understood.

Dunn meant that if Whitebeard hadn't reached the end of his life before he left this world, then Whitebeard wouldn't take his Devil Fruit.

But what does it mean to not stay in this world for long?

"Alright, you guys have plans for the future. You'll be playing very important roles in this Hunter Exam. How about the main villain?"

Dunn didn't offer much explanation, turning back to smile at the white-bearded man.

"Sure, I don't care about that."

Whitebeard didn't care about villains or anything like that.

As for what Dunn said, we'll find out later.

But a sense of unease also arose in Whitebeard's heart.

Dunn's words actually revealed a sense of isolation from the world.

This feeling is dangerous.

Because such emotions could bring unimaginable crises to the world.

The white-bearded man left with a solemn expression and returned to his temporary residence.

"That person has arrived."

After Whitebeard sat down, he glanced at Golden Lion and Charlotte Linlin.

"Stop thinking those thoughts. If you do, that person will kill you."

"Mama mama mama".

Charlotte Linlin looked at the gloomy-faced Golden Lion and burst into laughter.
