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

The Demon Giant Robin disappeared quickly, and the aura around Robin was also weakening, clearly indicating that she had overexerted herself.

"You can't use this carelessly if you encounter an enemy later."

After pulling Robin, who was crouching and covering his head in defense, up, Dunn gave him a serious reminder.

Robin's physique is not special, but the excessive use of Haki can damage her body.

If not used excessively, the wear and tear may not be noticeable.

However, Robin's first move, which marked the initial awakening of her Haki, clearly consumed a great deal of her Haki.

"I won't have much of a chance to make a move!"

Upon hearing Dunn's words, Robin lowered his hand, looking helpless.

Aside from the very beginning when Dunn had her fight against the enemy, she was no longer able to help Dunn with his later opponents.

Even now, she can't get involved.

"Too!"

Dunn nodded.

"Why don't I take the Hunter Exam this time? I want to see if I can pass."

Robin thought for a moment and then said.

Are you participating?

Dunn was about to refuse, but seeing Robin's serious look, he nodded.

"If you want to, then do it."

"I would also like to participate."

Hancock came over after seeing that Robin had stopped fighting. Hearing what Robin said, she also expressed her desire to participate in the exam.

"You're here too?"

Dunn glanced at Hancock, somewhat surprised.

"I am confident that I can pass, but after passing, I wish to board Lord Dunn's ship."

Hancock said with a look of admiration.

"My ship!"

"With the Pirate Empress's strength, this kind of test is a piece of cake, isn't it? If you want to board the ship, just say so."

Robin smiled as she looked at Hancock.

"May I?"

But Hancock wasn't going to play word games with Robin; she looked pleasantly surprised after hearing her words.

Robin's expression froze, and she looked at Hancock suspiciously.

She wasn't even sure what Hancock was thinking when she said those words.

"Give it a try if you want, it should be quite a lively event this time."

Dunn shook his head slightly.

The Observation Haki had already detected many strong individuals, most of whom were acquaintances.

Those guys should be able to cause quite a stir, but if Boa Hancock goes in, she'll definitely be a big shark.

Perhaps this could make the scene more lively.

The three didn't stay there for long. After returning, Hancock was persuaded to leave by Robin's few words.

Robin's action naturally did not escape Dunn's notice, but he was quite looking forward to it.

……

"It seems that Dad didn't suffer too much."

"Teach, you've been out there for quite a while."

Whitebeard's expression didn't change much when Teach walked in and spoke.

"Dad, I just don't know how to face you."

As the black-bearded man spoke, he held up the huge wine jar in his hands and presented it to the white-bearded man.

"What? I know you boarded that guy's ship. Did something happen to Marco and the others?"

The white-bearded man stared intently at the black-bearded man.

No, not at all.

Blackbeard shook his head. "Captain Marco and the others are still in the New World. Chairman Dunn didn't make things difficult for them, but they can't become pirates anymore. As for the waters where the Whitebeard Pirates used to operate, they couldn't have been defended without you."

The man with the black beard looked quite helpless.

The white-bearded man sized up his godson, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Previously, Whitebeard had not paid special attention to his godson Teach, treating him the same way he treated everyone else.

But now, Whitebeard felt that he had underestimated Teach.

"The Hunter's Guild didn't take over those areas?"

The white-bearded man grabbed the huge wine jar, poured himself a bowl of wine, and then asked...

"President Dunn had Captain Marco and the others establish a Hunter's Guild, but he didn't send anyone to garrison it. You know the situation in the new century, Father."

"Teach, what are you trying to say?"

After finishing the wine in his huge bowl in one gulp, the white-bearded man stared at Teach and asked.

"Dad, Chairman Dunn is determined to change this world and overthrow the World Government's rule. This doesn't directly conflict with you. If you join the Hunter Guild, you can definitely return to the New World."

With you in charge, Captain Marco and the others will definitely have a much easier time.

Teach began to speak, a genuine smile on his face.

"Oh my god, Whitebeard, you spoil your crew too much. Those guys won't even drink milk without you."

Charlotte Linlin, who had been listening the whole time, couldn't hold back any longer and started to mock her.

"BIGMOM!"

Upon hearing this, Teach turned to look at Charlotte Linlin.

"Your children are in a similar situation. When Chairman Dunn was around, things might have been fine, but now that Chairman Dunn has returned to Paradise, do you think your children can protect the kingdom?"

Teach's words made Charlotte Linlin's face stiffen, and then she stared at Blackbeard with a gloomy look.

Do you know who you're talking to?

Charlotte Linlin unleashed a burst of Conqueror's Haki.

"Hahaha, Dad's right here with me."

Seemingly unaffected by Conqueror's Haki, Blackbeard let out a burst of maniacal laughter.

"So, you have this kind of talent too, Teach. You hid it very well."

The white-bearded man looked at Teach with surprise and spoke.

"It's just that Dad has only just awakened."

Teach scratched his curly hair, looking completely sincere.

But when he said that, not only did Whitebeard not believe him, but even Charlotte Linlin, with her gloomy expression, and the Golden Lion, who was watching the show from the side, stared intently at Teach.

"Whitebeard, it seems like no one on your ship besides you has awakened Conqueror's Haki, right?"

The golden lion spoke.

"It's no wonder those guys who follow him around will never awaken Conqueror's Haki."

Speaking of this, Charlotte Linlin is no longer sleepy.

She herself was indeed outmatched by Whitebeard, but her son Katakuri possessed Conqueror's Haki.

Although Katakuri was suspected of betrayal in this defeat, Charlotte Linlin, who could accept defeat, didn't blame her children too much.

Or rather, they didn't take it seriously.

After all, in her eyes, it was Dunn who caused her failure.

It's too embarrassing to be defeated by your own children.

"You really didn't have it on the ship?"

Whitebeard asked again, and Teach instinctively wanted to continue with the same answer, but he paused before he could finish.

He glanced at the white-bearded man's expression, then sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Hahaha, Dad, it's okay to tell you now. Not bad, I awakened Conqueror's Haki on your ship."

Tichy admitted it outright.

"Why don't you show it? What do you want to do?"

"Of course, I'll follow Dad."

Teach grinned as he answered.

"By the way, I'll help Dad find something. After all, that thing is really hard to find. If I can't find it, I'll continue to be Dad's obedient son."

Teach was very serious when she said that.

"What are you looking for?"

"Dark-Dark Fruit".

When Teach mentioned this, he was clearly very excited.

"???"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three men, including the white-bearded man, all became strange.

"Could it be?" Teach noticed the change in the three people's expressions, and a thought struck him, his face showing excitement.

"Do you know where it is? Tell me, where is the Dark-Dark Fruit?"

Teach suddenly stood up, unleashing a considerable amount of Conqueror's Haki.

"Heh heh heh heh, so that's what you were after."

The golden lion's maniacal laughter rang out, filled with a sense of anticipation for a good show.

"I know where that thing is, but do you dare to go get it?"

"Where?"

Blackbeard stared intently at the golden lion.

"Dunne ate the fruit."

Whitebeard looked at Teach, whose face was somewhat deranged, and suddenly spoke.

In an instant, the Conqueror's Haki emanating from Teach dissipated, his face stiffened, and he looked up at Whitebeard with a blank expression.

"Eaten? Chairman Dunn?"

The black-bearded man's voice was filled with disbelief.

"But he clearly!"

The man with the black beard looked utterly incredulous.

Dunn clearly ate the Flame-Flame Fruit, so why would his father say that?

"As for why he was able to do it, don't look to me, I don't know, but he did eat that fruit."

The white-bearded man shook his head.

Teach slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with confusion.

"It's really delightful to see people's expressions of shattered hope."

The Golden Lion grinned, looking at Teach with amusement.

boom!

The fist, enveloped in a white sphere of light, slammed down.

"You bastard, are you crazy?"

Amidst the violent tremors of the ground, the golden lion, hovering in mid-air, roared, its eyes fixed on the white-bearded creature.

"Teach said that if we don't find that thing, he'll always be my good son. He's my family. Shiki, you're mocking my family. Looks like you want to test my fists."

The white-bearded man said this after withdrawing his fist.

Seeing Whitebeard's reaction, the Golden Lion's lips moved slightly, his eyes fixed on Whitebeard, before he let out a cold snort and landed some distance away.

"Dad."

Teach was awakened by the commotion caused by the white-bearded man's attack, and his expression was complicated.

People on the high seas all have their own pursuits, and Teach's pursuit is to find the fruit that is destined to be his.

Now that he heard that Dunn had eaten the Dark-Dark Fruit, Teach was momentarily at a loss about what he should do in the future.

Footsteps sounded from outside, and several hunters from the Hunter's Guild ran in. They looked at the numerous cracks in the ground, then at the four people here, and then quickly retreated.

"Get out. I'll think about what you've said."

The white-bearded man looked at Teach and could tell that no matter what he said, the guy might not listen.

It seems that the so-called Dark Fruit is really important to him.

But now, he should think carefully about what to do next.

Teach left dejectedly. Just as he stepped out, he paused, his expression stiffening. A fierce glint flashed across his face before disappearing.

"Looking for this?"

On Dunn's left hand, a deep, dark mass lurked, as if it could suck everything in.

Teach's breathing quickened instantly, his eyes fixed on the darkness in Dunn's left hand.

The thing I dreamed of was right in front of me, but unfortunately, I could no longer have it.

Even if he could kill Dunn, he wouldn't be able to take the Dark-Dark Fruit from Dunn.

Moreover, killing Dunn?

This thought only flashed through Teach's mind and then disappeared.

This is no less difficult than controlling the world.

"no."

Teach kept his head down.

"Okay, go do your own thing!"

Upon hearing Teach's answer, Dunn nodded and walked past Teach.

Tichy glanced back at Dunn's retreating figure, his face full of dejection.

But then he paused, taken aback.

"My own business? What am I supposed to do?"

Dunn's arrival was clearly not unexpected by the three men, including Whitebeard.

Although Whitebeard controlled his strength, the effects of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit were indeed significant.

And the only one who can suppress the three of them right now on the Sky Island... no, in this world, is Dunn.

The hunters of the Hunter's Guild will definitely report to Dunn.

"There was quite a commotion."

After glancing at the marks on the ground, Dunn walked calmly to the middle of the three.

"You don't care about what's happening in the new world? You don't want to control it?"

The white-bearded man looked at Dunn and asked a question.

"Most of your sons are quite talented. After all, those who have reached this level are among the most hardworking and talented in the world. However, you have been too protective of them."

Dunn turned to look at the white-bearded man and spoke calmly, describing a fact.

"Those are my family members."

The white-bearded man frowned.

Even family members must be released to face the challenges. Even baby birds know that they must leave the nest when they grow up.

Dunn shook his head.

"There are many hidden strong individuals in the New World. Even without Kaido, there would be others."

"so what?"

Dunn smiled at the white-bearded man, but the smile made the white-bearded man very uncomfortable.

"Anyway, they were just pirates before."

Dunn's words caused the three men, including the white-bearded man, to change their expressions.

"I was already being lenient by letting them go before."

"As for now, if they do a good job of what they were told, it's not impossible to loosen the reins a bit more. But right now, they're not even doing as well as Katakuri."

As Dunn spoke, he glanced at Charlotte Linlin.

The woman had her mouth full of sweet, creamy cream and seemed not to hear what Dunn said.

"Or, you could do what Teach suggested, so you could continue to protect your sons."

Dunn turned around and delivered another blow.

Frankly, Dunn's statement was an insult to Whitebeard.

But now the tall figure remained motionless, his expression quite complex.

"Logically speaking, someone like you wouldn't show such an expression; you're not even afraid of death."

Dunn turned and took two steps closer to the golden lion before continuing to speak.

"You don't look like Edward Newgate anymore."

"I'm a white-bearded man."

Whitebeard suddenly stood up.

"Quiet!"

Dunn waved his hand calmly.

"I didn't take your name away."

Whitebeard almost cursed when he heard this.

The golden lion's face was contorted, clearly struggling to suppress his laughter.

"You knew Teach wanted the Dark-Dark Fruit, so you took him away alone?"

Whitebeard took a deep breath and suddenly shifted his gaze to Blackbeard Teach.

"Yes, that's it!"

Dunn nodded, without denying it.

"Furthermore, if there's anyone in your pirate crew who can come close to you, or even surpass you, I have high hopes for them."
