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

To hold the emperor hostage and use him to command the feudal lords!

Rayleigh clearly didn't know what that meant, but when he saw Dunn's hand on Hancock's slender waist, his eyes widened and his breathing became heavy.

"snort!"

Rayleigh gave a heavy snort and then turned and left.

Seeing this, Shakky smiled helplessly, glanced at Hancock and Dunn, and then followed Rayleigh out.

"With Whitebeard here, you'll probably want to go see your old man."

Dunn looked at the black-bearded Teach, who was forcing a smile, and then gave him a reminder.

Blackbeard was clever and immediately understood that Dunn was trying to get rid of them.

"Yes, yes, I haven't seen my dad in a long time."

He nodded without hesitation and turned to leave.

Dunn withdrew his hand from Hancock's waist, causing a change in Hancock's expression.

Then he grabbed Robin's hand, played with it, and looked at Issho and Hawkeye.

"So, Mr. Hawkeye, would you like to join?"

"To become your subordinate?" Hawkeye didn't refuse, but instead asked in return.

"No, joining the Hunter's Guild doesn't mean becoming my subordinate. I'm too lazy to deal with all that stuff. You should know my style and understand what I mean."

Hawkeye nodded upon hearing this.

He had traveled with Dunn before and could indeed sense Dunn's personality.

If he hadn't hidden it so well, then Dunn certainly didn't have any intention of ruling the world.

He doesn't seem like that kind of person at all.

If I had to say something, Dunn really is like those so-called explorers on the high seas.

"Think about it."

Seeing the contemplation on Hawkeye's face, Dunn continued speaking with a smile, while playing with Robin's slender fingers.

"There are many young people in this world with high swordsmanship talent. Instead of hoping for a good opponent to suddenly appear in the future, it is better to watch these swordsmen grow stronger step by step, and perhaps even give them some pointers."

These young people, who are already incredibly talented, might actually reach your level with your guidance.

"Then, there won't be a shortage of opponents."

As he spoke, Dunn pointed to himself.

"Unlike me, I'm not a pure swordsman at all."

"You are definitely not."

Hawkeye nodded in strong agreement regarding Dunn's last sentence.

"However, even with talent, it's very difficult to reach my level."

Hawkeye's words may sound arrogant, but those who know him well understand that he is making a judgment based on reality.

"Isn't one or two enough? Like my junior brother."

Dunn smiled upon hearing this.

"Zoro?"

Hawkeye was taken aback, then looked at Dunn with surprise.

"That kid is indeed good, but in terms of talent, he's not even as good as Kuina."

Hawkeye shook his head.

"Talent is one thing, but how high one can climb is another. I believe Zoro has the potential to become one of the world's top swordsmen, or at least one of them. As for Kuina..."

Dunn pictured Kuina, now all grown up, in his mind.

In the original future, she was not present.

Seeing that Dunn didn't continue, the people here became a little curious.

Is there anything special about this Kuina?

"Okay, what you said does make some sense. There are indeed some good young people."

Hawkeye nodded. "Besides, I came here this time to participate in what you've done. As for how to arrange it, just let me know when the time comes."

With that, Hawkeye got up and left.

Dunn didn't call him back; that was enough.

"I didn't realize you were such a talker."

After Hawkeye left, Yixiao's expression was somewhat strange.

"If I weren't so good at talking, you wouldn't have boarded my ship in the first place, would you?"

He smiled, then paused, and then shook his head, somewhat speechless.

"Everything here is completely ready, just waiting to begin. If you want to get some exercise, you can go in and test the strength of those people."

Dunn said.

"I'd rather not bother. I'd rather spend my time gambling a few rounds."

He smiled and shook his head.

"We can't let our guard down, Yixiao."

Dunn shook his head, saying with a hint of disappointment.

"I haven't seen a casino since I came up here, don't tell me there isn't one."

Yi Xiao didn't respond at all.

"The casino isn't here."

Upon hearing this, Dunn waved his hand.

Yi Xiao got up as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and slowly walked out, gripping his staff and sword.

"This guy..."

Hearing Dunn's speechless voice, Robin chuckled.

"Mr. Yixiao has always been like this, you didn't know that, did you?"

"I thought he would change a bit."

Dunn answered.

"How can hobbies change? Besides, this is the only hobby Mr. Yixiao has."

Robin's hand, which wasn't being held by Dunn, was placed on Dunn's shoulder.

"Speaking of which, how have you been lately?"

Dunn turned his head to look at Robin beside him.

The standard, form-fitting, lightweight clothing perfectly showcased her figure, which was in no way inferior to Hancock's.

Her fuller figure looked even better than when we last met.

"Exceptionally gifted!"

Dunn couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

Noticing Dunn's gaze fixed on her chest, Robin instinctively wanted to shrink back, but then realized Hancock was watching her intently, so she blushed slightly and straightened her chest.

Seeing that Robin almost bumped into his face, Dunn got up and touched his nose.

"Come on, let me see how much stronger you've gotten lately."

Noticing Dunn's action, Robin's lips curled up slightly.

Knowing Dunn well, she understood that Dunn's gesture indicated a slight embarrassment.

But the meaning it conveyed delighted Robin.

This guy is so clueless about romance.

"Speaking of which, I'll give you a surprise."

Robin looked mysterious.

"Oh? The fruit has awakened?"

Upon hearing this, Dunn raised an eyebrow.

"Couldn't you just pretend you didn't know?"

Robin said, feigning displeasure.

Hancock, watching Dunn and Robin chatter away, wanted to chime in but didn't know how.

She saw Dunn leading Robin to the back and followed them.

The three left the Hunter's Guild branch and then went directly into the nearby Trial Grounds through a passage.

"President!"

The guild members guarding the massive gate instinctively stood at attention upon seeing Dunn.

"I need to go in and check the situation."

Dunn waved his hand.

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper immediately responded and quickly opened the gate.

"President, would you like someone to show you the way?"

Seeing Dunn about to go in, the hunter beside him quickly asked, looking somewhat eager to try it out.

"No need."

Dunn waved his hand and led the two women into the enormous trial ground.

"That must be Miss Robin, right? The oldest member who's followed the chairman the most."

"Of course, but the other one is the Empress of Amazon Lily, who is now a partner of the guild."

Robin and the Empress are quite famous on the high seas.

Empress Boa Hancock needs no introduction. She was already famous throughout the seas before Dunn became famous, and she became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea based on her own strength.

As for Robin, although she doesn't have any particularly outstanding achievements, the outside world isn't very clear about Robin's strength.

But Sihai had always been by Dunn's side, and she was always there whenever Dunn caused trouble.

His fame is now no less than Hancock's.

"Crocodile did a great job!"

Walking alongside Dunn, Robin looked around.

It's completely unrecognizable as being on a floating island now.

The ground beneath our feet is solid, surrounded by lush vegetation and even various wild animals.

In the distance, a strange bird with a huge wingspan took off, and even further away, a huge roar could be heard, clearly some kind of large beast.

"really!"

Dunn nodded, indicating his approval of Crocodile's actions.

"Is there anything I can do to help Lord Dunn? I would very much like to do something for Lord Dunn."

Hancock held her hands to her chest, looking quite expectant.

"The cooperation between the guild and Amazon Lily now depends entirely on you, and that's enough."

"That's not enough. I want to do more for Lord Dunn."

Hancock immediately shook her head upon hearing this, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Lord Dunn, since Her Majesty the Empress has said so, why don't you agree?"

Robin suddenly spoke up from the side.

The tone sounded very serious, but it was clearly a joke.

"Okay, then we'll think about what to do later."

As Dunn spoke, he pointed to a large open space not far ahead.

"This is fine."

As Dunn spoke, he flashed to the center of the open space.

"Giant Blossoms!"

Robin did not hesitate at all.

She knew that even if she became stronger, there was still a huge gap between her and Dunn, and she couldn't possibly hurt Dunn, so she made her move directly.

Countless white and pink petals appeared out of thin air, filling a vast area.

Accompanied by the familiar floral fragrance, the scattered petals instantly coalesced.

An enormous half-robin appeared not far in front of Dunn.

"Giant Karate - One-Shot!"

Within the petals, Robin's body appeared in front of the half-giant Robin. As he spoke, the petal-like hands waving behind the giant Robin swept and struck Dunn.

boom!

Dunn raised his left hand and collided with the giant hand that came crashing down.

The gust of wind generated by the giant hand's slap caused Dunn's clothes to flutter.

"Slapping repeatedly!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Robin unleashed a barrage of arms from behind him, slamming them down on Dunn.

"Isn't that one?"

Seeing this, Dunn smiled and asked.

The giant Robin's face is exactly the same as Robin's, but it's a proportionally enlarged version.

However, the regular patterns on the body appear to be formed by stacked petals.

Inadequate welfare benefits.

"In that case, I can't use that move."

Robin was taken aback when he heard Dunn say that, but then he understood what Dunn meant.

"Besides, as you said, the Mori-Mori Fruit would be more suitable."

Robin crossed his arms over his chest and said very seriously.

"That's true."

While I really want to see Robin use her Thousand Hands technique, it's not really appropriate, and it would also have many drawbacks for Robin.

The form you see now is not Robin's awakened form.

Dunn could tell at a glance.

At this point, the fruit has only reached a certain stage of development and is just one step away from awakening.

It seems that only when the demon blossoms can it be considered a preliminary awakening.

But this is not bad either.

After all, Robin hasn't experienced much compared to her predecessors, and it's already quite remarkable that she has developed her Devil Fruit ability to this extent at such a young age.

This was only possible because he and Yixiao had guidance, and because of his broad vision and knowledge.

But as for physical constitution...

In just a short while, Dunn could sense that Robin's aura had weakened a little.

"What else?"

Dunn waved.

Seeing Dunn's expression, Robin bit her lip slightly.

Can't this even surprise Dunn?

Do we really have to use that?

But wouldn't Dunn like that look?

Robin was very conflicted.

"bring it on."

Robin had reservations, but Dunn saw right through her thoughts.

Just as Robin knew Dunn well, Dunn also knew Robin well.

Has awakening truly been mastered?

"No matter what, you'll always be my Robin."

Dunn raised his hand.

"good!"

Robin's expression shifted upon hearing this, and he looked at Dunn with both eyes.

"The Devil Blossoms!"

As Robin finished speaking, the half-giant Robin behind her suddenly twisted and then turned into countless flower petals.

The petals converged into a giant tornado, and a powerful aura was brewing within it.

Hancock, who was not far away, looked at Robin in surprise, then her eyes were fixed on the dancing petal tornado.

"This is?"

Unlike the half-giant, this time, after the petals condensed, a complete giant stood behind Robin.

Dark skin, huge feet, and black hair that hung down to his chest.

A pair of enormous dark wings suddenly unfurled from behind the giant.

A violent and furious aura emanated from the giant Robin.

It's not a domineering color, but a unique aura.

It's somewhat like a variant of Observation Haki.

Dunn stared at the enormous demon Robin.

Superman's awakening is definitely true.

However, Robin clearly didn't have a good grasp of it, and by using Haki so recklessly, she couldn't maintain this form for long.

Robin is not one of those physical monsters on the sea.

Seeing Dunn scrutinizing the giant behind him, Robin noticed that there was no ill intent in Dunn's eyes, but rather a sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness.

Being stared at by that gaze, Robin, who had the same senses as a giant, felt a burning sensation all over her body.

The seemingly ferocious giant Robin instinctively crossed his arms over his chest.

Seeing this action, Dunn coughed lightly and looked away.

"Good, attack me."

Dunn waved.

Swish!

At an even faster speed than before, almost in the blink of an eye, arms wrapped in Armament Haki as if made of rubber reached Dunn, and several hands grabbed him tightly.

Then, Dunn watched as the demon giant Robin drew ever closer.

He was slapped on the chest by several hands, feeling the pressure from the giant hands.

Dunn was somewhat helpless. His body disappeared into thin air, and then a ball of flame condensed into Dunn's figure beside Robin.

Boom!

Robin loosened her arms from across her chest and pressed her hand against her head.

The Demon Giant Robin also raised his hands to protect his forehead.

"Alright, I understand your abilities, but what about that last move?"

Dunn savored the feeling from just now, then smiled at Robin.

"It's pretty good."
