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

It's not that we don't use it, but rather that there's no real need for it anymore.

After all, in the beginning, Dunn needed a certain amount of imagination to develop the fruit's abilities.

Having a clear and specific goal will lead to better results in developing the product.

And that's exactly what happened.

However, Dunn became increasingly adept at using the Flame-Flame Fruit's power, and the techniques he had originally developed were merely methods of application.

But in any case, it did help him a lot at the beginning.

Now that Robin has asked, Dunn has no reason to hide anything.

"That's true. I've told you about the situation in our world and what this world is like now."

Robin nodded in understanding.

If what Dunn said is true, then Dunn can indeed understand a lot of things, whether it's this world or the world she came from before.

"Wait, if it's really as you say, then a good story needs a lot of exciting plots, and there must be a protagonist, as well as the protagonist's biggest rival."

Robin suddenly paused, his eyes lighting up.

"So, who is the protagonist of our world?"

Robin's question drew the attention of Hancock and Baby5, who had clearly been listening to Dunn and Robin's conversation.

They are also very curious about what Robin is talking about now.

"Well!"

Dunn smiled upon hearing this, his eyes sweeping over Robin's face.

"Yes, you're absolutely right. But speaking of the protagonist, you've met him, and in a world without me, you were a crew member and historian on his ship."

"I'm a crew member of the protagonist? So the protagonist is a pirate?"

Robin was taken aback by what he heard, and then asked thoughtfully.

"Imagine carefully, among the people you've met, are there any who seem like the main character? There are many stories in the world before, and similar things happen in history."

Since Robin was a historian, Dunn gave him that hint.

"It's hard to imagine."

But Robin shook his head after a moment of contemplation.

Because of what Dunn said, Robin recalled that many people she had met before had similar characteristics.

But if I had to say, Dunn is the one who fits the bill best, and Dunn did indeed do what the protagonist was supposed to do.

"Lord Dunn, what about me?"

Hancock sat down next to Dunn, pressing her entire body against him, and asked with a blush.

"Your words..."

Dunn then stopped Hancock by the waist, deliberately drawing out his words.

"As for you, of course you've fallen for the protagonist."

After a pause, Dunn suddenly smiled and said.

Robin chuckled and shook his head at the sight.

Indeed, the world has changed dramatically since Dunn appeared.

Just as Dunn said...

Robin raised his hand and pressed it against his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat clearly.

After all, being alive is real, so there's no need to think about it too much.

"So, Dunn, what about this world?"

Leaving aside the original world, Robin then asked Dunn about the current world.

"You've seen it before."

Upon hearing this, Dunn raised his chin.

"I've seen him before? That Grim Reaper?"

After a moment's thought, Robin immediately identified who Dunn was referring to.

After all, Dunn seemed to care about him somewhat.

If someone can make Dunn act this way, then he is clearly not an ordinary person.

"So, that Grim Reaper isn't the protagonist, but rather the protagonist's greatest antagonist, someone like Im?"

Robin then asked.

"Smart, but only half right. After all, if a story is exciting, it usually takes a long time to develop."

"Oh, I understand." Robin nodded in understanding as Dunn said this.

"The final villain of a phase?"

"Yes."

Dunn smiled and answered, then pointed in a direction.

"He's over there now, but after this, he'll probably try to get close to me. As for his purpose, there are many possibilities."

"So, Dunn, you want to study the power of this world and start with him?"

"Hmm, this person is a good candidate."

Dunn naturally wouldn't hide it from Robin, and nodded in acknowledgment of his purpose.

"Lord Dunn, you are already very strong."

Hancock rested her face on Dunn's shoulder and spoke softly, her eyes fixed on Dunn's face.

"There have indeed been some achievements, but since we have come to this world, there will inevitably be other worlds in the future, and even stronger beings will appear."

Dunn shook his head upon hearing this.

If you don't have such thoughts, then wait for the space to open and return, then become the strongest in the world and live out your life.

But Dunn didn't want to do that.

After all, he also had a dream of conquering all the heavens, and since there was a method, he naturally wanted to try it as much as possible.

"Whatever you do, Lord Dunn, I will follow you."

The maid who had been listening quietly suddenly spoke up.

"Me too."

Hancock quickly echoed this.

"No need for that. Just think of it as traveling the world. It's a good thing, after all, not many people have this kind of opportunity."

Dunn said this, but then he thought of the guys he had seen before he traveled through countless stories, and shook his head helplessly.

Maybe I'm one of them.

But as he told Robin, they were all truly alive.

Therefore, there's no need to think about such things for now.

"Would you like to see it?"

Dunn raised his finger and pointed in the direction where the Observation Haki had shown the Grim Reaper, then asked the three women beside him.

Will a battle break out?

Robin asked, but by the time she asked, she had already confirmed it.

After all, it seems that the relationship between the Grim Reaper and these Hollows is not peaceful at all.

Or perhaps it's more like the relationship between pirates and the navy, or the relationship between hunter and prey.

Given this kind of relationship, it's highly unlikely that the two sides will avoid conflict when they meet.

"That's for sure, it just depends on how intense the conflict becomes."

Dunn nodded.

"Shall we go take a look?"

Robin thought about it and became somewhat curious.

The power that Dunn wanted to study must have some merit.

As a scholar with a strong sense of curiosity, knowing about such a thing naturally makes one want to see it for oneself.

"Let's go then."

After saying that, Dunn stood up, loosened his grip on Hancock's waist, then spread his arms to block Robin and the maid, leaped into the air, and disappeared into the distance after a few bounds.

Hancock, now free, couldn't help but twitch her lips at the sight, before leaping up to follow.

The Hollows that had gathered in the great forest began to move in a regular pattern, converging in one direction.

"These guys don't seem to be completely mindless."

Robin, who had discovered this, said in Dunn's arms.

"It's just a hierarchy suppression. Higher-level Hollows can control the movement of lower-level Hollows, especially Hollows like these that don't really have much intelligence. They will instinctively follow instructions, but it's unlikely that they can carry out any detailed tasks."
