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

Dunn's decision was not made on a whim.

Since he came into this world, the only truly top-tier powerhouses he has encountered are Garp and Dragon.

When Dunn first met Dragon, he hadn't even mastered both types of Haki, nor had he tested the gap between himself and these top-tier powerhouses.

Now that he's actually run into Garp, Dunn naturally wants to give it a try.

Dunn didn't lower his voice, and the marines who were busy on the warship, as well as Bogart who was in charge, were all stunned.

They all turned to look at Dunn, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

A challenge to Vice Admiral Garp?

Is this person crazy?

You're just asking for trouble.

Karp, on the other hand, paused for a moment after hearing Dunn's words, and then laughed.

"Want to try my fist? No problem."

Although he failed to recruit Dunn into the Navy, Garp had a very good impression of Dunn based on his two meetings with him and the conversation just now.

"Then let's find a deserted island."

As Karp spoke, he looked at Bogart.

Bogart was about to salute and accept the order when Dunn raised his hand to stop him.

Dunn knew he was no match for Garp in his normal state; he just wanted to see the difference in skill, not to ask for a beating.

"It's fine as long as we're on the boat."

On the ship?

Upon hearing this, Karp turned around, looked Dunn up and down, his gaze falling on the sword Dunn had placed beside him, and nodded.

His fists collided with his chest, producing a dull thud.

Armament Haki was already wrapped around his fists.

Seeing this, Dunn took a deep breath and hardened his Armament Haki.

boom!

Without exchanging a word, the two clashed fists.

Karp's eyes widened suddenly as he looked at Dunn, who staggered back a few steps.

"What incredible strength!"

Even in this world, human strength has its limits, and special races have even higher limits.

Just now, Karp had already felt that Dunn's strength was far beyond what was expected.

As for Dunn, although his expression remained unchanged, the sharp pain from his fist surprised him.

Armament Haki hardening reduces the sensation of pain.

But even though I used all my strength just now, my fist still hurts a lot.

This pain felt like when he punched a rock with all his might before he time-traveled.

He glanced down and saw that his right fist hadn't changed much.

"Kid, scared already?"

Seeing Dunn staring at his fist, Karp put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily.

Most of the navy personnel on the warships stopped what they were doing and watched the exchange.

"Afraid?"

Dunn gave a soft snort.

You won't die; at most, your health will just decrease a bit.

After all, the results of this experiment are not yet available.

Dunn pushed off with his feet and swung both fists at Karp.

"Faster!"

"Kid, are you out of strength?"

"The quantity is good, but the quality is poor."

"If you want to be like me, you'd better flatten a few mountains with your fists first."

Garp kept spouting trash talk.

Dunn was initially a little annoyed, but as the fight progressed, he calmed down.

boom!

Dunn swiftly swung his fist and slammed it heavily into Garp's eye socket, sending himself flying.

The surroundings became completely quiet.

Karp, his eyes dark, stared at Dunn as he got up from the ground, baring his teeth in a grimacing expression.

"Good heavens, you're willing to take a punch from me just to get a chance to land one on me."

Dunn was panting, his eyes fixed on Karp.

He admitted that he had miscalculated.

This old guy always hits people in the face.

However, data is still exerting its power.

His health had dropped below 50, especially the last hit, which reduced his health by 7%.

"We still need to practice!"

Dunn muttered to himself, then waved his hand at Garp, who was making a stance.

"I'm not playing anymore."

Garp was taken aback and stopped his stance.

The surrounding naval soldiers looked at Dunn, whose expression hadn't changed much, and then at Garp, whose eye had a black rim.

Did Lieutenant General Garp suffer a loss?

Karp looked Dunn up and down and naturally noticed the abnormality in Dunn, but he did not point it out directly.

Soon after, two beach chairs were placed side by side on the deck of the sailing warship.

Dunn lay silently in a chair, pondering the exchange he had just had.

Garp naturally didn't go all out.

That last punch was probably where he really put in some real skill.

Ultimately, we still need to strengthen our physique.

For him, strengthening his physique meant increasing his health and defense, and also improving his mental abilities.

"Hey!"

A bag of rice crackers was handed to Dunn.

Dunn didn't stand on ceremony.

He had tried this snack before; he wouldn't say he liked it, but he certainly didn't hate it either.

Seeing Dunn take the bag, Karp picked up another bag, his dark-rimmed eyes fixed on Dunn.

"Your body is good, and your aura is also quite impressive, but you haven't experienced much combat. Your stamina is good, but your hardness isn't enough."

Karp immediately saw through Dunn's situation.

"You can easily deal with those weaker opponents, but once you face someone who has a better grasp of Haki than you, you'll probably be in for a tough fight."

"I know."

Dunn nodded in response, chewing on a rice cracker.

"Are you really not considering it?"

"No way. I'm not a naval hero; there are some things I can choose not to do."

Dunn said vaguely.

Garp was taken aback, but immediately understood what he meant. He nodded, his heart filled with regret.

At this age, his personality, talent, and even his abilities are all outstanding.

But having said all that, he decided not to try again.

"I hope I won't see you on any more bounty posters."

Garp said meaningfully.

"I can't really make that decision, since the bounties are issued by the Navy and the World Government."

Dunn shook his head.

He really had no intention of becoming a pirate.

He wasn't interested even in adventurers who claimed to be pirates.

But many things will definitely happen afterward, and it's inevitable that we'll clash with the Navy and even the World Government. At that point, it's uncertain whether there will be a bounty.

Therefore, you need to become strong enough to handle any threats you encounter before that happens.

"What about the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Interested?"

Suddenly, a thought struck Garp, and he asked in a flash of inspiration.

Dunn and Jinbe had met, but the specifics are unknown. However, judging from Dunn's demeanor, he probably didn't suffer any losses.

I've heard that the World Government has recently been in contact with Hawkeye, seemingly wanting to invite him to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After all, there are still vacancies.

Shichibukai?

Dunn glanced at Karp and shook his head again.

"You're really hard to talk to."

Nothing works; he shakes his head as soon as he opens his mouth.

After making a sarcastic remark, Garp closed his eyes and remained silent.

"Contact with Vice Admiral Garp and Admiral Aokiji."

As soon as Garp closed his eyes, Bogart came over and handed him a Den Den Mushi.

"What business do you have with me?"

Garp took the Den Den Mushi and said casually.

"Teacher, the Demon Child is hiding in the Western Sea. I happen to have some free time and want to go check it out."

A somewhat lazy voice rang out.

Dunn was taken aback and turned to look at the Den Den Mushi in Garp's hand.
