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

Of course, all of this is predicated on the fact that what happens next is exactly as he expects.

What he needs to do now is wait for the large-scale mobilization of Shinigami in Soul Society to see if it will cause any turmoil.

As for Aizen, Dunn simply sent him to Hueco Mundo, along with those Shinigami who hadn't yet awakened their true forms.

However, at this point, Aizen probably cannot fully fuse with the Hogyoku.

After all, one important factor is still missing.

According to the original storyline, the fusion of the Hogyoku would take a considerable amount of time, but a woman in the present world can help the Hogyoku fuse ahead of schedule.

However, according to the current timeline, that woman does not yet exist.

However, if the present world has already existed for a time, then his guess can be basically confirmed.

On the Rose Hunter.

"Are you staying on the ship this time, or coming with me to the mortal world?"

Dunn looked at Robin and the other two and asked them a question.

"Will it be dangerous?"

Robin asked, and that was her focus.

"It's not dangerous. There's nothing here that could put me in danger anymore."

Dunn shook his head.

"Of course I'll go and help Lord Dunn."

Hancock immediately responded.

"Unfortunately, I am too weak to help Lord Dunn."

The maid seemed a little downcast.

"If this operation goes smoothly, we will be able to return to our previous world soon."

Upon hearing the maid's words, Dunn raised his hand, patted the maid's head, and then spoke.

"Can we go back now?"

The three women were all taken aback, their faces showing surprise and delight.

Although I haven't been in this world for very long, after leaving that world, I still feel somewhat like a rootless duckweed.

The three women were naturally overjoyed to hear Dunn say they could go back.

"So you'll all wait here this time. I'll temporarily isolate this space."

As Dunn spoke, he raised his hand and set up a spatial barrier around the entire ship.

"This ability? If it's isolated, won't even you be unable to leave?"

Robin knew that Dunn possessed spatial abilities, but once such an ability was used, the person using it would also be trapped within that space.

"We can leave using the power of the Door-Door Fruit."

Dunn waved his hand.

"It won't take long."

"Then you have to be careful," Robin said. She now understood that Dunn didn't want them to come along this time, so she didn't insist.

However, I felt a sense of loss regarding my own power.

Hancock, on the other hand, was a bit more obvious; after all, she wasn't good at hiding her emotions.

I felt somewhat frustrated that I couldn't help Dunn.

Just as the maid said.

Not long after, Dunn, having settled the three women, went directly to Hueco Mundo.

Watching the massive Hollows bustling about like worker ants, a huge complex of buildings was being constructed.

"This guy..."

Aizen is clearly more skilled at using these Hollows than he is.

As soon as Dunn appeared, two figures were in front of him.

Looking at the two women in front of him, Dunn was somewhat surprised.

"That guy succeeded? So quickly?"

Neru and Halibel, the two Hollows who were previously partially and completely uncorrupted respectively, are now fully corrupted.

Nilu, who had a sheep bone mask on her head, nodded quickly upon hearing this.

"Not just us, there are other guys too."

Harribel stood with one hand on her hip, looking at Dunn with a hint of eagerness in her expression.

She clearly wanted to test how long she could hold out against Dunn with her current strength.

Dunn didn't pay attention to her attitude.

These Hollows, which evolved from Hollows, originally all had unruly personalities.

Even someone like Nel has this kind of personality.

When Dunn met Aizen, Aizen had just put away the Hogyoku.

"Don't be so wary of me. I'm not interested in this at all."

"Not interested? That's because you don't know what it means."

Hearing Dunn's words, Aizen smiled.

"It can fulfill the holder's wishes."

"These are just your wishes, don't include me in them."

Dunn's words made Aizen's expression stiffen. Dunn's tone, which sounded like he was saying that everyone was mediocre, made Aizen very uncomfortable.

However, he had never been able to see through Dunn, including his previous encounter with the captain.

Dunn seemed completely unaffected.

It was as if the world was a playground to him.

Aizen, living in this world, always felt suppressed.

"I came here because I'm going to the mortal world afterward, and this thing in your hand needs a catalyst to fully integrate, so that you can completely master the power that surpasses the Grim Reaper."

Dunn looked at Aizen and said something that made Aizen's heart skip a beat.

"What catalyst?"

Aizen couldn't help but press for an answer.

Because the fusion of the Hōgyoku does indeed take time, and a very long time at that.

"A skill or power, which needs to be sought in the real world."

After speaking, Dunn turned and looked in another direction.

Rukia Kuchiki, bound by chains of runes that flickered between light and shadow, was glaring at them through gritted teeth.

How do I find it?

Aizen noticed Dunn's gaze, but he didn't care about Rukia at the moment and continued to press for the information he wanted to know.

"You'll have to find that yourself, but of course, you don't have much time."

Aizen fell silent upon hearing this, his mind beginning to recall what Dunn had said earlier.

What bothered him most was that Dunn had repeatedly asked him about the fact that Karakura Town was the only place in the present world.

At the time, he didn't think much of it, but after connecting it with Dunn, Aizen also began to feel that this world was fake or absurd because it was created by someone.

Especially since Dunn is now clearly an outsider, his words seem to carry more weight.

Some things may not seem unusual to those directly involved, but are very clear to bystanders.

"I see."

Aizen nodded, and did not ask any further questions.

Dunn's attitude clearly indicated that he didn't want to talk about it, or perhaps he only knew that such power existed, but he wasn't quite sure where it came from.

"I will borrow the abilities of these broken beings."

Aizen looked at Dunn and said.

Upon hearing this, the Broken Faces standing around all looked at Dunn.

Even though it was Aizen's help that allowed them to become Arrancars and gain even greater power.

However, these Arrancars were clearly more wary of Dunn's power.

In Hueco Mundo, strength is everything.

Upon hearing this, Dunn glanced around. The Arrancars around him were all fairly familiar, and their appearances were almost identical to those in his memory.

"Do whatever you want, but the Soul Society will be active in the human world soon."

Dunn reminded him.

"That's the epicenter of the conflict. What would happen if we destroyed it?"

Aizen wasn't surprised to hear this. Dunn had already said that, and with this commotion in Soul Society, the Shinigami would definitely take it seriously.

Dunn waved his hand, without saying anything.

As for what will actually happen, we'll only know after it happens.
