The moment they said the advantage was theirs, they had already lost any advantage they might have had.

The Pirates on the pier sneered as they surrounded Dunn; as for Torff, who was gasping his last breath on the ground, no one cared.

From within the crowd, a robust figure suddenly lunged out, wielding claw-like weapons on both hands, moving like a feline as he leaped directly in front of Dunn.

The cold, gleaming claws swiped toward Dunn's face.

BOOM!

Even without activating Observation Haki, such speed was like a snail's pace in Dunn's eyes.

He raised his leg, coated it in Armament Haki, and delivered a direct kick, sending the Pirate who had rushed him flying.

[I hope readers remember our domain, Taiwan Novel Library has many books, ƚɯƙαɳ.ƈσɱ, super complete]

Dunn did not hold back his strength with this blow.

The kicked Pirate flew off like a cannonball, carving a straight line through the group of Pirates surrounding him.

Every Pirate in that line was sent flying upon impact.

Never mind the one who was kicked, even those who were merely struck by the collision were unable to stand back up.

This scene caused the surrounding Pirates to stumble to a halt, standing frozen in place with their sneers stiffening on their faces.

It wasn't until a massive crashing sound echoed from behind that the silence was broken.

The Pirate Dunn had kicked crashed directly into the town on the island, collapsing a series of buildings before finally falling still.

Gulp!

It was deathly quiet, and someone suddenly swallowed hard.

In the current situation, even a sound as small as that was heard by many.

"He's just one guy, and there are so many of us!"

With a roar, a towering figure charged out, gripping a giant axe in both hands like a wild bull.

The giant axe was raised high and brought down toward Dunn's head.

Dunn raised Flame in his hand, coated the blade in Haki, and calmly received the blow without even swaying.

However, the ship beneath his feet was pressed down significantly by the force, causing the stern to tilt upward.

Another figure lunged out, his sword thrusting silently toward Dunn from the side.

Dunn raised his left hand and caught the tricky blade in his grip.

"Ah~"

Seeing others take the lead, the rest of the Pirates shouted and charged forward with their weapons.

Bang! Bang!

The Pirates with flintlocks fired directly at Dunn.

Clang! Clang!

The bullets struck Dunn, emitting crisp metallic sounds as they shattered into pieces upon impact.

After his sword was caught, Asong the Lone Wolf decisively let go of the hilt and retreated, backing away repeatedly.

Whether or not someone was an opponent could be sensed from a single contact.

The previous display had been terrifying but lacked a sense of reality; now that he had engaged personally, he realized the massive gap between them.

"Running?"

Dunn flicked his wrist, throwing the sword he had caught by the tip.

Like a meteor streaking through space, the sword pierced through Asong the Lone Wolf's right chest, pinning him directly to the stone ground of the pier.

Following this, Dunn grabbed the giant axe with his left hand.

The four-meter-tall Giant Axe Onwa refused to let go of his weapon, but as Dunn gripped the blade, he was swung into the air, used like a giant weapon to smash the surrounding Pirates away.

Only when Giant Axe Onwa could no longer hold onto his weapon and was sent flying did Dunn throw the giant axe after him.

Just as he landed and had yet to recover from the dizziness, the following giant axe slammed into his body.

Crack.

The sound of shattering bones rang out.

A large circle had cleared around Dunn; the Pirates backed away with dazed expressions, colliding with those behind them, creating a scene of utter chaos.

On the ground around Dunn, many Pirates had been caught in the crossfire; some had already stopped breathing, while others were wailing in agony.

Dunn jumped off the ship, walked through the sea of bodies, and headed toward the remaining circle of Pirates.

The surrounding Pirates scrambled to retreat.

Seeing this, Dunn gripped the hilt of Flame and slowly drew the exceptionally long blade.

Then, he cast his gaze toward the one or two hundred Pirates remaining.

Should he kill them all?

A thought sprouted in the mind of Dunn.

He felt no aversion to killing at this point in his life.

On his return trip this time, any Pirates he encountered at sea who lacked value had been sent to the bottom of the ocean.

"Who the hell are you?"

Just as Dunn was considering whether or not to kill everyone present, a figure charged over from the direction of the town.

Upon landing, it revealed a man wearing a suit, though this fellow was actually a bipedal black panther.

Wait, a Devil Fruit user?

A Zoan Devil Fruit user?

Dunn's expression shifted; he didn't swing his long sword, his gaze instead locking onto the newcomer.

Ah!

A Pirate suddenly let out a shout and turned to run.

But after taking only two steps, a flying slash swept past, and the scream was cut abruptly short.

Dunn's eyes remained fixed on the arriving Devil Fruit user.

"A Swordsman?"

Seeing Dunn's slash, the Zoan user's expression turned ugly in an instant, then grew incredibly grave.

"Do you have any idea whose territory this is?"

The man attempted to use his backing to intimidate Dunn.

After all, a Swordsman was not easy to deal with.

While these individuals might not possess the speed, stamina, or defense of a Devil Fruit user, their lethality was top-tier.

Unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to have a direct confrontation with a Swordsman.

"Territory? Let's hear it."

Dunn's expression flickered as he tilted his chin upward.

The surrounding Pirates dared not make a move.

From this brief encounter alone, these Pirates had already realized the truth.

This pretty boy... no, this handsome man, was definitely someone they couldn't handle.

More accurately, they were the type of people who could be killed offhandedly.

Now, it all depended on whether this man could stop that guy.

"It seems you really don't know. In that case, leave now, and I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, if the master behind me finds out, even if you are a Swordsman, you won't be able to withstand the wrath of the one I serve."

Hearing Dunn's words, the Zoan user retorted with a warning laced with a threat.

"I told you to tell me."

Dunn frowned, emphasizing his demand once more.

"The name of that master is not something you are qualified to..."

Hearing Dunn's tone, the user immediately snapped back, perhaps out of habit from throwing his weight around here.

Finding an unexpected lead, Dunn was naturally pleased.

However, he really disliked the tone this guy was using.

BOOM!

The stone slabs beneath Dunn's feet shattered, and the next moment, his left hand, coated in Armament Haki, clamped onto the user's face.

BOOM!

The man was slammed heavily into the ground by Dunn.

Cracks spread in every direction from the head pinned beneath Dunn's left hand.

The pier became deathly silent; one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared at Dunn in horror, not even daring to breathe, holding their breath for dear life.

Some of the more timid ones were on the verge of tears.

"I said, tell me!"

Dunn pressed his left hand against the guy's head and spoke once more.
