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

Under the watchful eyes of a group of high-ranking naval officers, Luffy shouted out that classic line in the projected image.

Then, Garp's happy expression froze on his face.

He knew that Luffy was clamoring to become the Pirate King.

After all, ever since he met that bastard Shanks, his grandson has been acting like he's possessed, constantly clamoring to become the Pirate King, claiming it's a promise he made with Shanks.

"Ahem, kids think it's funny and they're just shouting it for fun, you guys probably think the same way, right?"

Kapuqian chuckled and said that even with his carefree nature, he felt a little embarrassed being stared at like that by so many people.

"Looks like you, Garp, haven't really educated your grandson much."

Lieutenant General Tsuru had a mocking smile on his face.

Not only her, but the others didn't really care about what Luffy shouted.

He's just a child, after all.

Nobody will take it seriously.

Garp naturally disagreed with what Vice Admiral Tsuru said.

Every time he returned to Windmill Town, he would make his grandson taste the iron fist of justice.

As it turns out, this grandson was even more stubborn than Dorag.

"The Pirate King? There won't be a Pirate King now or in the future."

Aokiji opened his sleepy eyes and spoke calmly.

"Ahem." Garp glanced around, and after the scene of Luffy and Ace defeating their opponent was cut off, he turned to look at Vice Admiral Tsuru.

"Ah-He, is something wrong?"

As he spoke, Garp gestured in the direction of Sengoku.

"There are some things, but the Warring States period hasn't made a decision yet."

As soon as Vice Admiral Tsuru finished speaking, the surrounding navy suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

The two of them looked up at the same time.

In the cut-off image, Sweat King, the middle-aged man with shoe prints, Dorrag appears, calmly looking at the group of opponents who appear before him.

"Drag!"

Many people immediately called out this name.

When Dragon was still in the Navy, he had good friendships with many people, especially Aokiji.

Of course, the most important reason is that he is Lieutenant General Garp's son.

"None of them give me any peace of mind."

Upon seeing Dragon, Garp didn't even want to speak anymore. He seemed to have no mood to continue talking with Tsuru. He pulled off his dog-head hat, covered his eyes, and remained silent.

The other naval personnel exchanged glances, then their eyes fell on the screen.

……

Sky Island.

Dorrag looked at the many people in front of him with a calm expression, but felt a little helpless inside.

Does this mean they see themselves as the weakest?

"Defeating you will allow me to become a high-ranking member of the Hunter's Guild, right?"

A strange-looking man with a long tongue resting on his knife asked in a sinister tone.

There was a stir among the people around him.

The other three groups looked at Dragon with anticipation upon hearing this.

"If you bypass this area and go to the final destination, you'll still have a chance to pass this test and join the Hunter's Guild."

Dorrag said in a calm tone.

"Becoming an ordinary hunter is not my goal."

Upon hearing this, the one who spoke first was the gossipy fellow. He brandished his knife and then swung it out suddenly.

A green slash shot towards Dragon.

Once he took action, the others did not slack off at all.

The first few who charged out, transforming into various beasts, were clearly Devil Fruit users. Several more slashes followed, clearly from swordsmen.

The others swarmed forward.

Seeing the ability user rushing towards him and the incoming slash, Dragon raised his eyelids, waved his left hand, and flicked the cloak covering his left hand.

call!

A sudden gust of wind arose.

A violent gale swept through, and the group of people who were just there had completely disappeared.

Those waiting outside the circular "dummy" where Dorrag was located were also blown away by the wind blowing from the gate of the circular plaza.

Then, a group of people fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a series of thuds.

Gudong!

Seeing those who didn't make a sound after falling, the others who originally wanted to observe immediately chickened out.

He is indeed a strong person.

Dorrag rarely takes action, and many people have never even heard of him.

It seems that the leader of this revolutionary army is incredibly powerful.

No wonder he can oversee an entire "dungeon".

"It seems this won't work."

The group arrived quickly and left just as fast, soon giving up on their idea of ​​challenging Dorrag.

Dorrag, who was inside the circular plaza, noticed this situation and shook his head.

"Looks like you're not so sure after all, are you?"

Dorrag spoke, but there was no one around him.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Dunn's voice rang out.

"Well, but stubborn people often don't live long. After all, not everyone is as lucky as your son."

Upon hearing this, Dorrag's lips twitched violently.

"After all, he's the grandson of the naval hero Garp and the son of the Revolutionary Army leader Dragon. With that kind of status, everyone on the high seas would give him a lot of face. Oh, and Shanks has high hopes for him too."

Dunn's voice continued.

Dragon remained silent, offering no response, and continued to wait for the challengers who might appear later.

As for those he had knocked away, hunters from the Hunter's Guild quickly appeared and took these unconscious and injured people away.

Noticing that Dragon remained silent, Dunn, who was also in a circular arena resembling a gladiatorial arena, chuckled softly.

They didn't press the matter further.

His Observation Haki enveloped the entire examination area, and countless battles were taking place simultaneously.

Perhaps it's because they want to eliminate rivals, perhaps it's because they're vying for Devil Fruits, or perhaps it's because they have mutual grudges.

"It looks like it will end sooner than I expected."

Dunn muttered to himself.

In fact, at the very beginning, he considered whether to create some specific checkpoints.

But because there were too many people, he eventually gave up on the idea.

If you want to create detailed levels to test everyone, then one sky island is not enough, not even ten.

Perhaps we could extend the time and do it in batches, but that would be too troublesome.

That's why we have the simple, unified approach we have now.

However, the Hunter's Guild naturally provides special care for certain individuals.

As for the pirates mixed in with them, or those who were pirates in the past, they are not within the scope of protection.

"President!"

Just as Dunn was using his Observation Haki to observe some people, Crocodile's voice rang in his ears.

"Do you even have to report things like this in person? You deserve a rare break."

Dunn replied with a smile.

"President, you're joking. Now is not the time to rest. However, this is not the time to report on the ability users. Someone wants to contact you."

Crocodile said.

"Is someone trying to contact me?"

Dunn was taken aback.

It's obvious that the contact Crocodile mentioned is no ordinary person.

Now?

"Who?"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku".

Crocodile said in a low voice upon hearing this.

"Oh?"

Dunn raised an eyebrow and raised his voice a few decibels.

"Could it be that this guy has come to a realization?"

Dunn said with some surprise.

"You've figured it out? Chairman, you don't have some kind of agreement with the Navy, do you?"

Crocodile asked instinctively upon hearing this.

"More or less, come over here."

"yes!"

Crocodile received the order and didn't delay. He grabbed a Den Den Mushi and transformed into a cloud of yellow sand, sweeping across the examination area like a sandstorm.

"Ptooey!"

Little Bear Bepo spat out a mouthful of sand and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

How could there be a sandstorm in this place?

"Energy person!"

Law seemed unaffected, and after noticing Bepo's confusion, he explained.

"Oh? That's very dangerous. There are many people in danger here. Should we go back?"

Bello said somewhat timidly.

"Don't worry, that's Crocodile, the vice president of the Hunter's Guild."

Only this guy has this ability.

Crocodile is quite famous. While he was relatively unknown in Alabasta, his fame skyrocketed after he became the vice president of the Hunter's Guild and took over Dunn's management of the guild's development.

Naturally, information about Crocodile became more widely known.

His abilities, and his past challenge to Whitebeard that resulted in his defeat.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that he was able to stand before Whitebeard and issue a challenge is enough to demonstrate a portion of his strength.

"Let's go, be careful to avoid Doflamingo and his group."

Luo was very careful, and would avoid people even when he encountered them.

Passing the exam wasn't his goal. In Law's view, the Hunter's Guild wouldn't let him leave, so he was just going through the motions with this exam.

Moreover, he had already decided to see Dunn again, perhaps he could make a deal with Dunn using his abilities.

The sandstorm swept across a large area, but it was not so noticeable for the entire examination site.

Dunn watched as the yellow sand gathered into Crocodile, and reached out to take the Den Den Mushi that was handed to him.

The Den Den Mushi, which seemed to be in a dazed state, immediately came to life after falling into Dunn's hands.

"Help me kill someone."

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku stated his purpose directly.

"Oh? Who does the eunuch want to kill?"

"Father-in-law?"

Deng En's words left Sengoku momentarily bewildered, as he didn't understand the meaning behind the title "Deng En."

"Former Fleet Admiral, Steel Bones Sky!"

Although he didn't understand what Dunn meant by "father-in-law," he understood the sentence, so he directly stated his purpose.

Crocodile, who was standing nearby, gasped after hearing Sengoku's words.

The current admiral wants to kill the former admiral, and he's even asking the enemy's boss to carry it out.

Is he crazy, or is the world crazy?

"Who?"

Dunn was taken aback.

He was genuinely surprised.

Isn't this Steel Skeleton Kong currently in charge of the World Government?

and many more?

Dunn narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Crocodile beside him.

"Is the World Government going to take over the Navy? Or is it going to take over that Pluton?"

"We have them all!"

Sengoku did not hide anything upon hearing this, and his simple and clear answer made Crocodile instantly understand the current situation.

The World Government is not prepared to let Sengoku control the navy.

But is the current situation in the Warring States period a sign that they are preparing to formally defect?

This is interesting.

As expected of the chairman, has he managed to turn the entire navy against him?

"If you agree, the Navy will strive to remain neutral in the future and will no longer interfere in your affairs and those of the World Government."

"hehe!"

Upon hearing this, Dunn smiled.

"Can you have complete control over the navy?"

Dunn countered with a question.

There was no response from the Warring States period.

"However, it's not impossible."

Dunn stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

What are your requirements?

The Warring States period understood and asked directly.

"I killed the man, but the Navy will send a few people to join the Hunter's Guild."

"Who?"

Sengoku's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked.

"Hmm, Momousagi, Tina, and, um, Dor."

Dunn thought for a moment and said.

"you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo was taken aback at first, then his expression turned strange.

These three are all renowned beauties in the Navy. What is Dunn planning to do?

"Don't overthink it. It's just that it's not my style to act without asking for anything in return. Although I've done it before, we're not even allies now, right?"

Dunn said with a smile.

"I cannot agree to that."

Sengoku hesitated for a moment and then refused.

"Then..." Dunn shook his head upon hearing this. Since they wouldn't agree, so be it. In any case, the fact that Sengoku was able to contact him this time and ask him for help meant that it was only a matter of time before they broke with the World Government.

In that case, it doesn't matter whether he takes action or not; it's just a matter of whether the Navy splits up.

Perhaps the Warring States will seek help from others.

"I will personally join your Hunter's Guild."

Sengoku's voice came through the Den Den Mushi, and Crocodile's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Dunn's expression stiffened.

I underestimated this guy.

"You've made up your mind? You should understand the consequences of your actions?"

"Ahem, how about we let Garp join?"

Sengoku coughed lightly and said, panting heavily.

"Ha, what do you think? What good would it do us to have that stubborn old man join us?"

"Is that not allowed?"

"It's possible, but I don't think you can do it."

Dunn shook his head.

"Then..."

Zhan Guo hesitated, his mind racing, trying to find a solution that could persuade Dunn.

Although he didn't know what Dunn's intentions were in revealing the three female marines, Sengoku felt uneasy and didn't ask the three women what they thought.

His eyes were fixed on the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooped-up nippon).

The ambiguous smile on the Den Den Mushi in his hand made Sengoku frown slightly.

He said it unconsciously when he spoke.

He subconsciously believed that he could only be in charge of his own life.

"Don't even think about it. Just tell me the exact location, and I'll take action. But remember, the Navy owes me a favor. And remember, it's not you, it's the Navy."

Dunn seemed to be getting impatient, and the Den Den Mushi was hung up after he finished speaking.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo breathed a sigh of relief, but then sighed again.

trouble.

On the Sky Island side.

Crocodile hesitated after Dunn hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Ask whatever you want.

Seeing his expression, Dunn waved his hand.

"What about the navy?"

"When I went to deal with the Wano Country matter before, I met with Sengoku. The Hunter Guild is not suitable as the maintainer of the future order. The Navy is the most suitable, but it is a Navy that is not under the control of the World Government."

Therefore, I ordered the navy to remain neutral in any future wars.

"Such a big deal!"

Crocodile was speechless upon hearing this.
