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

"but..."

Seeing the expressions on Kuina and Zoro's faces, Dunn changed the subject.

"I can have Crocodile assign you to other hunter teams, and you'll become more and more adept at dealing with this kind of tactic."

"May I?"

Guina was taken aback and immediately asked.

"sure."

Dunn nodded, seemingly not intending to say anything more.

After opening the door, Dunn gestured for Kuina and Zoro to go inside.

The two exchanged a glance and prepared to go inside.

"Wait."

As Dunn spoke, he raised his hand, and a knife that was leaning against the outside of the cabin not far away flew up.

Zoro caught the sword with his hand.

"The first generation Kitetsu, if we can subdue it, can be used as a decent weapon."

"You really gave it to me?"

Zoro looked at the sword in his hand with surprise.

The first generation Kitetsu was incredibly famous.

This is a rare and renowned sword, a weapon coveted by every swordsman.

"It's useless to me."

Dunn waved his hand. "Just tell Crocodile your demands, and he'll take care of it."

Dunn began to speak.

"Um!"

The two nodded in unison, then stepped inside.

After the two disappeared, Dunn closed the door, his expression somewhat puzzling.

"Why let them leave? They didn't seem very determined."

Dunn didn't say anything, but Hancock was quite curious.

Although she's love-struck, Hancock isn't stupid; on the contrary, she's quite clever. She can tell that Zoro and Kuina's thoughts aren't certain, and that Dunn seems to have agreed too readily.

"Time is running out."

Dunn looked up at the sky, then smiled at Hancock.

"To bring Baby 5 back, I need to send you somewhere first."

As Dunn spoke, he turned his head and looked in one direction.

That's the direction of the doldrums.

According to her senses, the closest seed of Im's power to that location is not close at all, and it would probably take her quite some time to get there.

"you mean?"

Hancock paused for a moment, then placed her hand on Dunn's shoulder, her face full of surprise.

"Can we come together?"

"There's enough time, but it hasn't fully materialized yet."

Dunn's expression was somewhat strange.

The ember he left on the monster could indeed sense, through the creature's perception, that a power similar to the one on the monster was emerging, though it was still very weak.

"Okay, I'll go."

Hancock released her grip and quickly walked away.

Teach, who was not far away, heard Dunn's words and his face was full of conflict.

Having been on this ship for so long, he naturally understood what Dunn was planning to do.

Now it sounds different from what Dunn said before.

Even him?

But he wasn't ready yet.

"Don't you want to go? You have your own reasons?"

Dunn noticed Teach's change in expression and turned to look at him, startling Teach, who instinctively shook his head.

"Then you can stay. I wasn't planning on bringing anyone else with me anyway."

Dunn waved his hand.

Dunn didn't really have any plans for Teach, but he was quite capable, and at least after he left, he wouldn't reveal his ambitions for a while.

Moreover, even without Dunn, the present day is not a time for him to freely indulge his ambitions.

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Teach pondered for a moment, wondering if it was a verbal trap set by Dunn. However, he felt that Dunn wouldn't go to such lengths, as his strength meant he didn't need to.

If we really wanted to take action against him, we would have done it immediately.

So he nodded directly.

Shortly after, Hancock and Robin emerged from the cabin with Baby 5.

"Lord Dunn."

Baby5's eyes lit up when she saw Dunn.

After shouting, she raised her hand, and her arm moved rapidly, conjuring up various sci-fi-looking weapons.

"You can imitate all the abilities Vegapunk uses?"

Dunn looked at it, nodded, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, but those things are too complicated, and I'm still a little dizzy."

When she learned that Dunn wanted her to try imitating those weapons, Baby5 agreed without hesitation.

Although doing so would give her a headache.

However, the result was good.

"What a pity."

Dunn sighed as he spoke.

"I destroyed the Heavenly King before. If it's still there, perhaps you can give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Baby5's smile immediately became forced.

As a poor student, these things alone made her feel like she was about to die.

As for the Heavenly King, she certainly knew that it was an ancient weapon, and its power was terrifying.

But even if she could imitate this, she would definitely have to learn a lot, and she would probably really die by then.

"Can we come along?"

Robin walked to Dunn's side and asked in a low voice.

Robin was naturally disappointed when Dunn said he couldn't take her with him.

But since Dunn had said that, Robin naturally wouldn't insist or put Dunn in a difficult position.

But now things have taken a turn for the better.

"The plan has changed."

Dunn nodded.

"The ember I left on that phantom can sense a similar power, but the passage still needs time to form."

"So, we can arrive ahead of schedule?"

Robin understood instantly.

"Okay, I'll send you over first, and when it's almost time, I'll drive Im over there."

Dunn nodded.

"it is good."

Robin nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Since Dunn said so, he must be confident.

"Let's go."

Dunn looked at Teach as he spoke.

Teach immediately understood Dunn's meaning. Using his direct drive ability, the ship began to turn in the air, its target being the huge green portal that had suddenly appeared on its left.

"After it appears, I will try to reinforce the passage using my spatial abilities. If I succeed, all the better. If I fail, I will have to stay in that world for a while."

"clear."

Robin nodded.

Since there are open channels now, there will be more in the future.

Even if we can't return to this world this time, we can certainly do so when the passage opens again.

That means there's not much to worry about anymore.

Teach heard Dunn and Robin's words and kept them in mind.

In fact, Dunn naturally hoped that Dunn would leave this world.

In his view, Dunn's abilities were far beyond what was expected.

With Dunn around, there will always be someone weighing down on the world.

But now, even if you leave, you can always come back later, so if you want to cause trouble, you have to keep it to yourself.

Swish!

The ship moved forward, flew into the huge green gate, and then the gate closed.

……

Crocodile looked at the two people in front of him and frowned slightly.

It's not that I find it difficult to arrange things for them, but rather that I feel there's something strange about this whole thing.

"The president just agreed to it like that?"

He asked again to confirm.

Seeing Kuina and Zoro nod in unison only made him feel more puzzled.
