The Three Admirals About to Take Office! The Furious Sengoku

Aside from Shimotsuki Village in the East Blue, he had sent a batch of pirates to the 16th Branch to earn some starting capital, and it was likely those pirates who had leaked the information.

He was not a pirate, and since the person in question was Garp, he had no intention of joining the Marines; even if he were found, the man likely wouldn't force the issue.

If it were anyone else, he would have to consider leaving this place immediately to avoid bringing trouble to their doorstep.

Dunn was lost in thought, and Koshiro was doing the same.

He watched Dunn walking silently ahead, then glanced at his daughter, Kuina.

He had previously worried that Dunn's appearance would make Kuina's competitive spirit even stronger and her personality even more stubborn.

However, looking at it now, the result actually seemed quite good.

But in truth, he hoped his daughter could live a stable life in Shimotsuki Village; that would be the safest path.

After all, in this era of pirates, the sea was far too dangerous.

Unfortunately, it didn't look like Dunn would be staying in Shimotsuki Village for very long.

If she could wait a few years, perhaps she could go out and see the world with him.

If Dunn were there to look after her, Kuina would likely be much safer.

After returning to the dojo, Koshiro told the three of them to find something to do, while he returned to his own room.

"You want to use the power of a Devil Fruit to bridge the gap in your body, or rather, your constitution?"

Dunn looked at Kuina, who was staring straight at him, and spoke as he began to walk outside.

Kuina was stunned, but she turned and followed, and Zoro immediately tagged along as well.

"Yes."

Kuina did not deny it.

"Don't you think that relying on external forces to increase your strength isn't pure swordsmanship?"

Dunn was a bit curious.

He didn't care about such things himself, but he knew that in this world, some people held very pure beliefs regarding the way of the sword.

"Why would you think that? That would still be my own power."

Kuina was puzzled as to why Dunn would say that.

"Isn't a swordsman supposed to dedicate everything they have to the sword in their hand to reach a higher realm?"

Dunn led the two of them through Shimotsuki Village, where people greeted them from time to time.

"So that's how you reach a higher realm."

Zoro looked enlightened.

Right now, he hadn't thought much about swordsmanship at all; at most, he just remembered an old man telling him about swords a short while ago.

"But it would still be my sword."

Kuina shook her head slightly.

What Dunn said was actually correct; Kuina did feel that this was a bit of a shortcut.

But Dunn's appearance had made Kuina realize the gap between herself and true monsters.

Even with Zoro, she could now feel that her strength was being surpassed by him.

"If that's the case, then when I set sail in the future, I'll keep an eye out for you."

Dunn looked at Kuina and then said with a smile.

"Dunn, what about me? What about me?"

Zoro jumped up and down on the side.

"You get nothing."

Dunn shook his head flatly. Zoro instantly bristled and lunged at Dunn, only to be grabbed by the collar.

He struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free from Dunn's grip.

"Pfft!"

Seeing this scene, Kuina couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I'll treat you two to something to eat. Take whatever you want; your senior brother is paying today."

Dunn waved his hand and tossed Zoro aside.

"Then I won't be polite."

Zoro stopped trying to get close to Dunn and turned his grief and indignation into appetite.

Shimotsuki Village inherited some of the customs of Wano Country, and naturally, most of their food preparation methods also came from Wano Country.

Kuina and Zoro didn't hold back at all, while Dunn bought a newspaper.

The president of the World Economic Journal was a bold man who dared to report on any news, no matter what it was.

But the benefit of this is that through the newspaper, one can see the major events happening recently.

After getting his hands on it, Dunn's first glance fell upon the front page of the newspaper.

Three figures wearing Marine uniforms stood together.

[The Marine's Strongest Combat Power]

Looking at the headline in the paper, Dunn narrowed his eyes.

Kizaru, Akainu, Aokiji!

While paying Kuina and the other person, he carefully read through the report.

Fleet Admiral Kong was about to step down, Admiral Sengoku was being promoted to Fleet Admiral, and three Admiral candidates would be promoted to Admiral simultaneously.

Looking at the newspaper, Dunn felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he were watching the history of this world, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.

However, his eyes, carrying that smile, looked down from a position of superiority.

Perhaps it was the angle at which he looked at the newspaper, or perhaps it was something else.

"Dunn!"

Kuina's voice rang out from the side, and a skewer of dango was held out to Dunn's mouth.

Dunn subconsciously opened his mouth and bit one off; the taste was not bad.

East Blue, Foosha Village.

Garp, dressed in casual clothes, looked at Luffy, who was covered in bumps.

Clearly, just a moment ago, Garp's Fist of Love had landed on Luffy.

"Damn you, Shanks!"

Garp's tone was quite unfriendly.

"Don't you dare insult Shanks! I'm going to set sail in the future; I'm the man who's going to become the One Piece!"

Hearing his grandfather speak about Shanks, Luffy was furious, shouting with an unyielding expression. Of course, perhaps it wasn't even about being unyielding; he just did whatever came to his mind.

Garp was enraged, clenching his fist, ready to teach his grandson a lesson.

Brrr-brrr!

The sound of a Den Den Mushi rang out.

Garp lowered his fist, pulled out the Den Den Mushi, and answered it. The Den Den Mushi then twisted and changed, taking on the appearance of a braided beard and a seagull on its head.

"Garp, how is the matter I entrusted to you going?"

Sengoku's voice rang out.

"What matter?"

Garp asked subconsciously, then realized, "Ahem, I'm looking for it."

"Garp!!!"

Sengoku's roar came through the Den Den Mushi, causing Garp to subconsciously hold the device further away.

"You bastard, what did you go back to the East Blue for? Do you really think you went on vacation?"

Sengoku's roar sounded again.

Garp felt a bit awkward and raised his hand to scratch his face.

"No, no, I'm looking for it, aren't I? You know the East Blue is so big; finding one person in the East Blue is very difficult."

Garp made excuses for himself, but how could Sengoku not know his own comrade?

Hearing that tone, he knew that this guy Garp had been slacking off for a whole month and had even forgotten the task.

A sound of deep breathing was clearly audible from the other side, and after a long while, Sengoku's voice sounded again.

"Since that's the case, then end the mission. You should have seen the newspaper; you need to make an appearance this time too."

"It has nothing to do with me."

Hearing Sengoku's tone soften, Garp picked his nose with his left pinky finger, his tone indifferent. Then, as expected, Sengoku exploded.

The super-high-volume roar made the young Luffy cover his ears, looking terrified.

What kind of monster is this?

He sounds even fiercer than Grandpa.

Thinking of this, Luffy quietly retreated, wanting to escape from the room.

The moment he moved his feet, he felt an unbearable, sharp pain coming from the top of his head. He fell to the ground screaming, rolling around while clutching his head; his fruit powers were completely unable to resist this kind of pain.

Perhaps, Monkey D. Luffy having a bad brain had something to do with this.
