Hawkeye's sudden move surprised even Dunn.
What's up with this guy?
The Black Blade Night, Emission with Armament Haki, swung down, but a longsword formed from golden light blocked the descending Black Blade.
The sword energy sliced the house open.
Dunn squinted at the longsword in Kizaru's hand, which was condensing golden light.
Impressive! The elemental longsword blocked the Black Blade Emission in Armament Haki.
That makes sense, though; after elementalization, it's possible to encounter Armament Haki- Emission.
However, encountering it does not eliminate the elementalization.
"You'll keep the house company!"
Just as the two were locked in a power struggle and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Dunn spoke up.
One sentence plunged the atmosphere into a freezing point.
"You can't let the Navy know what you just said."
Hawkeye turned to look at Dunn and said in a serious tone.
When it comes to the Celestial Dragon, no amount of attention is too much, even if the other party is Marine Admiral.
"It's alright, I was planning to notify the Navy in advance anyway."
Dunn waved his hand.
Upon hearing their words, Kizaru finally composed himself.
What exactly do you want to do?
Kizaru thought Dunn was much bolder than those pirates.
He dared to say he would attack Celestial Dragon in front of a Marine Admiral.
"You already know that."
Dunn stepped forward, Kizaru withdrew, and Hawkeye slung the Black Blade back over his shoulder.
Kizaru stared at Dunn, then raised his hand and threw out a Den Den Mushi.
Someone wants to contact you.
After saying that, Kizaru turned and left, his body turning into specks of golden light and disappearing on the spot.
Looking at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, Dunn roughly guessed who wanted to contact him.
After all, there aren't many people who can command Kizaru.
"Brubrub!"
The wait wasn't long; the Den Den Mushi opened its eyes and made a sound.
After sitting down, Dunn glanced at Hawkeye and answered the Den Den Mushi in his hand.
"I am from the Sengoku!"
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku's calm voice rang out.
Hawkeye's pupils contracted as he stared at the Den Den Mushi in Dunn's hand, without saying a word.
" Fleet Admiral, what do you want with me?"
Having already guessed, Dunn was not surprised and asked calmly.
"If I asked you to leave Sabaody Archipelago now, you certainly wouldn't agree."
"Oh? Aren't you going to ask? What if I agree?"
Dunn raised an eyebrow.
"So, you agree to leave Sabaody Archipelago now?"
"Disagree!"
Dunn said directly, his tone firm.
Den Den Mushi remained silent for a while on the other end of the Sengoku Den Mushi, seemingly adjusting to the way he was talking to Dunn.
"I'm not here to joke with you."
When Sengoku spoke again, his tone was noticeably more serious.
"So, what does Fleet Admiral Sengoku want with me?"
Dunn remained calm and composed.
"My bottom line is that I cannot lay a hand on Celestial Dragon; I can disregard everything else."
"Sengoku," he said.
"Well, I can't guarantee that."
"I've heard Garp talk about you, Pirate Hunter Dunn. You might not be aware of the consequences of attacking Celestial Dragon."
"I understand perfectly well."
"If Celestial Dragon is injured, then the entire Sabaody Archipelago will not be spared."
"So, you're threatening me?"
Dunn was taken aback, his tone full of surprise.
Why do you think I would care about these things?
"And what about your Hunter Guild?"
"If they get suppressed by the navy because of this, it means I chose the wrong people. Then I'll just find new ones and build another one somewhere else."
Dunn said calmly.
Sengoku seemed to be reminding him of the consequences of attacking the Celestial Dragon, but his words seemed to have the opposite effect.
Dunn didn't think that the Sengoku was unaware that saying this would lead to this situation.
Was this guy doing it on purpose?
"If that's the case, I'll send Admiral Sakazuki and Admiral Borsalino, if you're capable of handling them."
The Den Den Mushi was disconnected.
Dunn looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, a thoughtful expression on his face.
As expected, this Fleet Admiral had ulterior motives.
Are there only two Marine Admiral facing them this time?
No one will be coming from Mary Geoise.
After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Dunn opened them, put away the Den Den Mushi, and stood up.
"It's night, I'm going out."
Dunn looked at the darkening sky outside. It wasn't very noticeable in the Sabaody Archipelago because there were many light sources here, most of which were the light from the mangrove bubbles themselves.
Hawkeye watched Dunn leave.
The conversation between Sengoku and Dunn had left him somewhat puzzled.
After leaving, Dunn went to find Rayleigh on his own.
"So, if I get your boat coated tomorrow, are you sure you don't want to leave?"
Rayleigh looked at Dunn, who had come alone, and said.
"I'm not leaving, I still have things to do."
Dunn waved to Shakky, Shakky then placed a glass of juice on the counter.
"The coating is fine, but are you really going to attack the Celestial Dragon? That's not your real purpose, is it?"
Rayleigh looked at Dunn.
He felt that Dunn seemed somewhat irrational at the moment.
Since meeting Dunn, Dunn has always acted very rationally.
"After arriving in this world, there are some things I need to do, but this time my goal is definitely not to attack the Celestial Dragon."
Dunn glanced at Rayleigh and a smile appeared on his face.
"Not now."
If that wasn't the purpose this time, will you do it in the future?
Rayleigh looked at Dunn, who was smiling, picked up the bottle, took a sip, and looked puzzled.
"What kind of cool nickname do you think I should have?"
Dunn suddenly spoke, uttering something completely irrelevant.
"Ah?"
Rayleigh was completely baffled by Dunn's thought process.
" Dark King Rayleigh; Kaido; Pirate King Roger —each name is resounding and highly recognizable."
Dunn stroked his chin and said in a relaxed tone.
"Can you make this decision yourself? These titles were all given to you by others."
Rayleigh shook his head and said.
"That's something we can decide."
Dunn spoke, he stroked his chin, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.
"What should we name it? We can't really call it ' Hunter King,' that's too tacky."
Dunn's words made Rayleigh and Shakky exchange glances, looking at Dunn who was deep in thought.
Is this guy crazy?
It might really be true!
Or should we move further away?
Isn't that too obvious?
"I have a feeling you guys are thinking about something bad?"
The two men's winking and exchanging glances did not escape Dunn's notice.
"No, a name doesn't matter as long as it's easy to remember. After all, what's important is the person behind the name. Even if it's an ordinary name, as long as the person behind it is powerful enough, then it's a good name."
"That makes sense!"
Upon hearing this, Dunn turned to look at Rayleigh in surprise.
"You really did spend those decades at sea; you've certainly gained some experience."
Dunn looked on with a sigh.
Rayleigh:...
You bastard, when I fought you before and helped you master Conqueror's Haki Emission, you didn't even praise me.
