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

Change the environment?

That's true, but it's based on the fact that Dunn's ability ignores the nature of seawater.

However, this is meaningless.

"It's resolved. Let's continue. We should receive some news soon."

The ship began to move, and over the next few days, it cleared two more islands and encountered some hunters carrying out orders to eliminate monsters.

Crocodile's report arrived quickly.

"President, as you instructed, the priority cleaning area has been cleaned up and the boundaries have been demarcated. The next step is to clean up gradually until it is completely clean."

"What about the World Government and the Navy?"

Dunn nodded upon hearing this, and then asked a question.

"The World Government hasn't reacted much yet, probably because of your intervention earlier, Chairman, which left them temporarily without command or time to act. As for the Navy..."

Crocodile paused, his tone somewhat strange, "They're fighting amongst themselves, some of them are former naval forces that rebelled against the Allied Forces and the Guilds, and they're probably acting on orders from the World Government."

However, another group of naval forces is now on the move, targeting this group that is suspected of carrying out orders from the World Government.

"It seems the previous attack made Sengoku determined."

Dunn offered his own guess.

"I understand the admiral's predicament."

Crocodile said in a deep voice, "The Navy's current situation is indeed difficult to handle, but if it wants to become the maintainer of the future order, the Navy must make its position clear."

"It seems you're convinced we'll win."

Dunn smiled, and a glass of sweet and sour juice was placed in front of him.

Dunn nodded slightly to Hancock and then continued speaking.

"Crocodile, the situation is now at a stalemate, and it's starting to reverse course, isn't it?"

"Yes."

Crocodile was puzzled by this, hadn't he just reported it?

"President, do you mean a swift counterattack?"

He thought Dunn was not satisfied with the current speed.

"No, a stalemate is fine, there's no need to rush. After all, that birdman Morgans has reported on the situation in Mary Geoise."

Thinking of this, Dunn raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows.

"There's no need to hide this kind of thing. If it weren't for your intervention, Chairman, we wouldn't have reached a stalemate so quickly."

Crocodile, on the other hand, didn't seem to care.

It's perfectly normal for something that can boost morale to be reported.

After all, once this report was published, many countries that had previously been observing the situation immediately joined the ranks of those resisting the world government.

The forces resisting the world government have expanded once again.

Isn't this a good thing?

"The pressure on Im is already immense."

Dunn said.

"Chairman," Crocodile's voice turned serious.

"You've done enough; there are some things they need to do themselves, and that's necessary."

"Are you lecturing me?"

Dunn's voice sounded somewhat strange upon hearing this.

"How could that be? I was just stating my opinion. I actually guessed some of it."

Crocodile spoke, seemingly hesitant about how to continue, before slowly opening his mouth after a moment.

"Even if a disaster were to occur that affects the world or even lead to its destruction, the cause would not lie with you, Chairman. Mary Geoise is the one behind it all."

"Oh, you're not stupid after all."

Dunn smiled.

"If I were an idiot, you wouldn't have chosen me to help you establish the Hunter's Guild."

Crocodile's voice became calm.

"So, President, just do what you need to do. I think if you're willing, you can probably resolve all of this in a very short time."

"You trust me that much?"

"The Five Elders who control the world are like helpless infants in your hands. I really can't imagine what else can stop you."

"Indeed, but I have my own plans. Just focus on your own business."

"clear."

Although Crocodile expressed his thoughts, he immediately obeyed Dunn's orders.

Dunn hung up on the Den Den Mushi.

"Looks like this guy has changed a lot."

Dunn placed the Den Den Mushi on the table and smiled as he spoke.

"After going through so much, it's normal for things to change."

Robin wasn't surprised.

"Besides, we all change quite a bit, you just haven't noticed."

"Is that my fault?" Dunn raised an eyebrow.

"How could that be? You've just taken this change for granted."

Robin said as he sat down next to Dunn.

"It seems we don't have much time left to spend together."

"Not necessarily. Who knows when she'll appear? If it takes too long, like that sand crocodile said, it's not impossible to deal with her at a cost."

Dunn spoke softly, but with great confidence.

"To define and clear out the area, just like he said earlier," Robin said with a smile.

"There's no better way."

Dunn shook his head.

Im's abilities were troublesome even for him, let alone for others.

Perhaps further enhancing Conqueror's Haki could counter her ability, but Dunn wasn't sure to what extent.

As for Vegapunk's giant robot?

Dunn fell into deep thought.

Where is Vegapunk now?

Dunn asked.

"On Skypiea, the Revolutionary Army is about to begin its operation, and Vegapunk did not leave immediately."

When Vegapunk was mentioned, Robin rolled her eyes, looking rather speechless.

"This guy knows a lot of secrets..."

Dunn stopped talking as he spoke.

Forget it, at this point, there's no need for this kind of thing anymore.

Or rather, it's useless to him; he's neither Nika nor the so-called inheritor of Nika's spirit.

If such a thing really exists, it should be given to the people of this world.

"What secret?"

Robin's eyes lit up with curiosity.

"If you're curious, go ask Vegapunk yourself. I don't know much either, but it's probably about the secrets of that huge kingdom from the past, and that blank period in history."

Dunn waved his hand.

"Does he know?"

Robin stood up and ran off, clearly to contact Vegapunk.

It seems that Robin hasn't forgotten his hobby.

"Dunne".

After seeing Robin run away, Kuina sat down in the spot where Robin had been sitting and turned to look at Dunn.

"Zoro wants to act alone."

Dunn really didn't expect Guina to say something like that.

"By staying by your side, we will never be able to grow up."

Upon hearing this, Dunn turned to look at Kuina, then at Zoro standing to the side.

Zoro looked embarrassed and avoided Dunn's gaze.

"If it were anything else, I could agree to it, but not this."

Dunn shook his head directly.

"You've seen the destructive power of that stuff. Once someone gets infected, even I can't save them."
