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

The New World, where Hades resides, was formerly the Land of Harmony.

"You're badly injured this time."

Lieutenant General Tsuru looked at Sengoku with a solemn expression, her tone very serious, clearly indicating that this matter had exceeded her expectations.

"I had considered what they might do, but the Five Elders themselves came to kill me..."

When Zhan Guo spoke, the large knife wound on his chest was pulled at his lips, causing him to frown slightly.

Lieutenant General Tsuru waved his hand.

The ship's doctor, who had just finished bandaging Sengoku's wounds, glanced at the bandages on Sengoku's chest that had turned red again, hesitated for a moment, and then left with a few assistants.

"But this time it's strange."

Seeing the person leave, Lieutenant General Tsuru stepped forward and whispered something.

"Something must have happened that made the Five Elders restless."

Although the wound in his chest was very painful, Sengoku's expression remained relatively calm, and his tone was also very composed.

"Is it related to Dunn?" Lieutenant General Tsuru guessed.

If Sengoku's guess is correct, the only one who could make the Five Elders uneasy is Dunn.

"That must be it. Could it be that he went to Mary Geoise?"

Sengoku looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru.

"No news has been received."

"No news? Ah He, what do you think could make them make such a decision? Assassinating me is not a good option."

After thinking for a moment, Zhan Guo asked.

"Indeed, although you are the Fleet Admiral, in the current situation, assassinating you would be of little use; they can see that clearly."

Lieutenant General Crane shook his head.

"The navy will be in chaos for a while, but it will still make a choice eventually."

The Warring States period nodded.

Indeed, with the previous orders issued, a portion of the Navy had already completely betrayed them, and the World Government's current situation is not good.

Even if he dies, the final outcome won't change much.

Unless the World Government believes that chaos in the Navy will give them an advantage over the Hunter Guild and other rebel forces around the world.

But now, he sees no such signs.

"News of your attack has not been suppressed; the Hunter's Guild should have received the news by now."

"Lieutenant General Tsuru said in a low voice."

"Um."

The Warring States period nodded.

"I'm injured, so if that kid really wins, I hope he'll keep his promise."

"That shouldn't be a problem. As he said, the Hunter's Guild is indeed not suitable to be the sole maintainer of order, but the Revolutionary Army is also making a lot of moves right now."

As Lieutenant General Tsuru spoke, he mentioned the revolutionary army.

"Drag has always wanted to do this, but the Revolutionary Army was not strong enough before. Now that the Hunter Guild is in front of them, the Revolutionary Army is less targeted and attacked. He will not miss this opportunity."

At this point, Zhan Guo stood up and stretched his arms.

"You need to rest now."

"That won't do."

The Warring States period shook its head.

"I've had injuries of this level many times when I was younger."

Hearing Sengoku boast, General Tsuru was speechless.

"Send a reminder to the Hunter's Guild; the next target might be a high-ranking member of the Hunter's Guild."

"Um."

Lieutenant General Tsuru did not object.

Currently, they are on the same side.

As the main force of the Hunter Guild, chaos is unacceptable now.

Although Dunn is highly unlikely to be in any danger, the situation could still change if the guild's leadership suffers a blow or is successfully assassinated.

Having made the choice, I don't want such variables to occur.

……

Crocodile received the reminder from the Navy and turned his head to look to the side.

Dunn sat relaxed in a chair to the side, watching the busy Reiju.

"The Navy's warning suggests that the World Government might send someone to assassinate me."

"Yes, everything has been arranged, right?"

Dunn nodded upon hearing this, without looking away.

"The arrangements have been made, but we won't target the other branches."

Crocodile's expression turned strange at this point.

I never imagined that the Hunter Guild's decentralized organization had this advantage.

Even if one of the branches is attacked, or if the branch leader is assassinated, it will not affect the others.

"However, I didn't expect that you, the president, would come in person."

Crocodile was deeply moved by this.

Unexpectedly, the president, who is usually rarely seen, would personally show up because he was worried that he would be assassinated.

"Oh, you mean this? I just wanted to give Im a heads-up."

Upon hearing this, Dunn casually responded with a comment.

Should I still be moved?

Crocodile's expression froze, and he thought to himself.

Upon hearing this, Reiju's expression shifted slightly, and she subtly moved her legs, which were crossed at an angle.

Then she looked up at Dunn.

"President, when do you want to keep watching?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Dunn looked up and glanced at Reiju.

"It's quite beautiful, so I want to take a second look."

Dunn made no attempt to hide his thoughts.

Crocodile: ...

Should I leave?

"Anyway, there's nothing else to do. No one would refuse to appreciate beautiful things, right?"

As he spoke, Dunn turned to look at Crocodile.

Seeing this, the crocodile was unsure whether it should be wise to chime in with a comment.

But Reiju also contributed to the establishment of the guild; if it weren't for someone sharing the burden, he might have really died from exhaustion.

"Ahem, that's one way of putting it."

Crocodile coughed, his mind racing.

"President, this is just speculation. If it didn't happen, are you planning to stay here indefinitely?"

Crocodile came up with a topic, then abruptly changed the subject.

"Of course not, I'm very busy too."

Dunn shook his head upon hearing this.

"busy?"

Crocodile looked at Dunn, who seemed relaxed, and shook his head helplessly.

Busy? That's a lie.

But he wouldn't dare to complain like that.

"What? You don't believe me? Do you think I didn't do anything?"

Seeing Crocodile's expression, Dunn spoke in a serious tone.

what?

Is the chairman secretly plotting something?

Crocodile was immediately suspicious upon hearing this, and Reiju, who was standing next to him, also put down what she was doing and looked at Dunn, clearly curious as well.

"Tell me, with my abilities, how well do you think I can survive in this world?"

"Do as you please." Crocodile pondered for a moment upon hearing this, and then gave his own answer.

Because he dreams of it, but he can't do it.

"If you don't do what you're doing now and don't establish the Hunter's Guild, then no matter what you do, the World Government will pretend not to see it."

He added.

"So, everything I've done is for you."

Dunn nodded slightly upon hearing this, seemingly quite satisfied with Crocodile's answer, and then casually remarked.

"It's not my world, although I did start out just to have some fun."

Dunn leaned back slightly, his body very relaxed.

"I asked that person, and he said that the Hunter's Guild is a behemoth in his world, even controlling every aspect of the world."

Dunn's words caused Crocodile's expression to shift slightly.

He suspected that Dunn and the telekinetic young man came from the same world.

But Dunn never mentioned any of this.

But Dunn also knew a lot about that world, and even the Hunter Guild seemed to have been modeled after that world.

That's why he was so curious.

"Don't make wild guesses." Dunn smiled upon hearing this. "Although I know, I'm definitely not from that world. I just happen to know some things about that world."

"This can't be explained by mere coincidence."

Crocodile, of course, did not believe it.

"So, you talked to him? Do you think the Hunter's Guild is capable of doing that?"

Dunn was somewhat curious.

"This..." Crocodile hesitated.

Indeed, he had this thought after learning that there were behemoths like the Hunter's Guild in other worlds, and that they had even greater control over the world.

But after asking and understanding the details, he gave up.

We can't say we're giving up.

However, achieving that level is not something that can be done in a short time.

In fact, it's not even possible to do such a thing in one's lifetime.

This requires a very long time to accumulate before the possibility of success can be seen.

Moreover, based on what he knows now, there are not only Hunter's Guilds in that world, but also many countries, as well as gray areas that countries and guilds cannot interfere with.

"Is it difficult?"

Seeing Crocodile's hesitation, Dunn smiled.

"To some extent, great power represents great responsibility, and only in this way can it last. If you want to enjoy this great power but do not want to bear the corresponding responsibility, then the situation is not good."

"So, Guild Leader, that's why you didn't want to directly interfere in the guild's management in the first place?"

Crocodile was taken aback, then asked seriously.

"I just find it too troublesome. Besides, I don't need that kind of power. My power doesn't come from responsibility, but from my own strength."

As Dunn spoke, he raised his hand, and a ball of flame rose from it.

It wasn't bright, and even at such a close distance, I couldn't feel any increase in temperature.

But Crocodile and Reiju both felt an extreme sense of danger.

"And that's how chaos arose."

Dunn shook his head as he spoke.

"This is unavoidable as long as humanity exists."

When Reiju said this, her expression was somewhat cryptic.

"Then do what you can. After all, the future of this world is in your own hands."

"I have a feeling that you're giving your last words, President."

Crocodile muttered a complaint under his breath.

"Indeed, I will be leaving soon, perhaps not for long. After that, I will leave it to you."

"Leave this world?"

Reiju looked at Dunn curiously.

"Yes, I don't know if I'll be able to come back." Dunn nodded.

"Why? Is there nothing in this world that you cherish?"

Reiju became even more curious.

In her view, Dunn already had everything he could want in this world.

Moreover, with Dunn around, there is a high possibility that they will defeat the World Government in the future.

At that time, Dunn will hold the greatest power in the world.

Even though Dunn just said that power equals responsibility, who can force someone to take responsibility if they don't want to?

Besides, aren't there many people eager to help him take on these responsibilities?

For example, Crocodile.

Therefore, she couldn't understand why Dunn would give up all of this.

"Robin and Boa Hancock, can you really let them go, Master?"

Crocodile looked at Dunn and asked.

"Sigh, there's no other way. This is my only choice. Of course, would you choose to destroy the world or leave?"

Dunn sighed, looking rather helpless.

"The end of the world?"

Crocodile understood instantly.

It's still related to that Im.

"If you guess it, just keep it to yourself."

Dunn waved his hand.

"As you can see from the current situation at sea, this is actually only a small part of the whole picture."

"If that's the case, the world will indeed be destroyed."

Crocodile said, but then frowned.

"But if that's the case, when that person leaves, it might directly ignite the world."

"right."

Dunn nodded.

This is possible, and very likely, but if Crocodile could think of it, Dunn certainly could too.

Then we need to speed things up.

The spark he left behind, the spark in that illusory body, was waiting for this opportunity.

If it's fast enough and puts enough pressure on her, she won't have time to finish these things.

There's really only one problem now.

After Im disconnects, will those who were once planted with the seeds be immediately transformed?

If that's the case, then there's not much that can be done.

If not, then the matter is perfectly resolved.

"It really is..."

Crocodile raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

"The World Government has controlled this world for too long; you are utterly useless."

Seeing his actions, Dunn curled his lip.

"us?"

"Not only you, but also the people of this world over the past few hundred years."

Dunn shook his head.

Even with such oppression, not many people are resisting.

Of course, there might be, but it didn't cause much of a stir.

In a world without supernatural powers, perhaps it's still possible.

But it's really difficult to deal with when an individual's power can override other worlds.

Crocodile thought Dunn was being sarcastic, but couldn't think of any reason to refute him.

It's because Dunn said it directly: they're not from this world.

Given this position, what can you do?

"They're here."

Crocodile was about to speak when Dunn raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Huh? They're really here?"

Crocodile instantly understood what Dunn was talking about and was quite surprised.

"Our internal situation isn't completely cleaned up."

Dunn turned to look at Crocodile.

Dunn's words made Crocodile instantly understand what was going on.

An internal spy leaked the location and assisted the assassin in getting there.

"I'll send someone immediately..."

Crocodile stood up.

"Never mind, let them come over."

Dunn waved his hand to stop him.

What if other parts get hurt?

"Don't worry, since it's an assassination, they won't make a big fuss. They'll come stealthily. What if you escape? After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event."

Even if Dunn wasn't there, if an assassination attempt fails once, it's unlikely that there will be another opportunity.

As soon as Dunn finished speaking, the ground trembled violently.

Countless vines and trees grew from the surrounding ground, and in a very short time, they transformed into a giant flower bud, sealing off the place where Dunn and his group were.

"Success! Let's move! Wait, who are you?"

The voice, which had been somewhat languid, began to speak, but then its tone changed, becoming high-pitched and filled with shock.
