In Whitebeard's eyes, or in most people's eyes, once you're at sea, you don't need to follow the island's rules.
It's just that everyone has their own way of doing things.
Whitebeard was like that, and so were everyone else.
Dunn's first known title was "Pirate Hunter," a title the Navy could heavily promote at the time.
This was also the initial understanding that people on this vast sea had of Dunn.
Although the title still belongs to Dunn, in the current situation, simply being Pirate Hunter no longer represents Dunn's style of doing things.
Actually, I really want to meet him.
Whitebeard's words made Shanks laugh out loud.
"That's true. Hawkeye traveled with him for a while, and you're friends with Hawkeye, so you should have similar topics to discuss."
Whitebeard was taken aback by what he heard, then nodded in agreement.
He still remembered the fight he had witnessed between Shanks and Hawkeye in the past.
The clashes between those Top-tier Swordsman on the high seas were truly unforgettable.
"However, I have other things to do next, so I have to move on."
After finishing his Shanks, Shanks stood up, shook his cloak to cover the hilt of his sword, and turned to leave decisively.
However, this kind of thing is very common at sea.
When they meet, they either fight or sit down for drinks and a banquet, and then they go their separate ways.
" Pops!"
After Shanks left, Marco the pineapple head came over.
"This Dunn is really not someone to mess with. Now that we've entered the New World, we'll definitely run into him someday. Should we make some preparations in advance?"
It wasn't that Marco was overthinking things; it was just that Dunn's presence was so oppressive.
Now, no one dares to say they can remain undefeated against Dunn.
Even if this person is the World's Strongest, Whitebeard.
"Gulalalalala, don't worry, I'm not so old that I can't move."
Whitebeard laughed heartily upon hearing this.
Marco looked at the bandages on Whitebeard's body and the IV drip in his arm, his expression somewhat helpless.
The hidden wounds left by decades of fighting at sea are beginning to show their consequences.
Whitebeard's body has deteriorated due to these hidden injuries, though it's not very noticeable at the moment.
But as the Whitebeard Pirates ' ship's doctor, Marco knew very well that once this kind of hidden injury began to affect the body, the effect would become faster and more severe.
If too many hidden injuries flare up, the body may collapse rapidly in a short period of time.
Fortunately, Whitebeard's physique was simply too amazing.
Marco can only do his best to repair the effects of these hidden injuries; a complete cure is impossible.
Dressrosa.
I underestimated King Riku.
Dunn originally thought Dressrosa would be in chaos for a while, but King Riku, the former king of Dressrosa, had been hiding his identity and accumulating strength after his country was taken away, looking for an opportunity to retaliate.
However, as the saying goes, in the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are useless.
Before Dunn arrived, this was how Doflamingo was to King Riku.
The same applies to Dunn for Doflamingo.
Many of the toys made of Sugar were formerly part of the royal guards of Dressrosa.
Sugar's powers disappeared, and those who had disappeared from many people's memories reappeared.
"Apologize?"
Robin and Dunn stood on the roof of a room, looking down at the crowd gathered in Dressrosa.
King Riku had gathered his people, knelt down and apologized to the entire nation.
"This is his determination."
With a smile, he held his sword, his voice seemingly carrying an expression of admiration for King Riku.
Dunn glanced at him sideways and smiled.
"Perhaps this is just a response he's taking to regain power; after all, without doing this, power won't return to his hands."
"Mr. Dunn!"
Viola, standing to one side behind Dunn, looked helpless upon hearing this.
She, the daughter of King Riku, is still here.
"Regarding the false rumors circulating now, Father intends to find a way to explain what you did for Dressrosa."
Viola pretended not to hear what Dunn had just said and began to explain her reasoning.
What did I do?
Upon hearing this, Dunn asked in return.
"I'm only here to deal with Doflamingo; your affairs are just incidental."
Dunn waved his hand.
"All right!"
Viola immediately understood that this was not an important matter at all for Dunn.
So, being as clever as she was, she immediately changed the subject to one that Dunn was more interested in.
"What are your orders regarding the Hunter Guild?"
Upon hearing this, Dunn raised his hand and patted Robin on the shoulder beside him.
Robin nodded, glanced at Viola, and then turned and left with her.
" Dressrosa isn't considered a powerful force in the New World. It used to have one Shichibukai, so other pirates didn't dare to act recklessly here. Are they planning to use the Hunter Guild as a deterrent for Dressrosa?"
After Viola and Robin left, Yixiao suddenly spoke up and said these words, which surprised Dunn.
"Don't you see it very clearly?"
"I'm blind, and I suspect you're deliberately trying to rub salt in my wounds!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Xiao paused, her voice carrying a hint of speechlessness.
"No, but you're right. Dressrosa was Affiliated Nation of the World Government before, and it maintained that status even after Doflamingo took it over."
Dunn stroked his chin as he spoke, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
Completely overthrowing a power that controls most of the world is no easy task.
Having controlled the world for so many years, the World Government and the Celestial Dragon ' deterrent power has deeply penetrated people's hearts. In addition, the ocean in this world separates the islands, and there is very little direct contact between the islands. Apart from forces like the Revolutionary Army that deliberately do this, it is unlikely that anyone else will be able to stir up trouble.
It's just a minor skirmish at most.
Of course, if they were to completely destroy the World Government, the Celestial Dragon, and the Navy with their invincible power that surpasses everyone else.
Being so powerful that no one dares to have any other thoughts is also acceptable.
However, he is not yet able to achieve that level.
By peeling back the layers, they gradually erode the World Government's control over the world.
This is why Dunn had Crocodile establish the Hunter Guild in the Four Blues and Paradise.
However, this cannot be done in a short time.
Furthermore, World Government will not stand idly by.
Even now, out of fear of his strength, they haven't dared to make any moves.
However, the large-scale appearance of the Hunter Guild branches afterward alerted the World Government to the danger, and despite their fear of his strength, the World Government would still take action.
That will be the time for a true full-scale confrontation.
However, those who do evil will not escape punishment.
The Celestial Dragon' past actions have sown the seeds of numerous hidden dangers for themselves.
Perhaps, those who were originally afraid to resist also need an opportunity.
