In the spacious and clean room, Dunn and Robin sat side by side. In response to Robin's question, Dunn smiled.
"There's no rush to leave here. After all, this is the first branch I established myself. Besides, many pirates entering the New World will take this route."
"But this place is close to Mary Geoise and also close to Marine Headquarters. They might send more people here," Robin said after thinking for a moment.
So that's what you were worried about.
Robin's point is valid.
This includes Punk Hazard, after all, it was the location of the World Government's research institute.
Dressrosa, being the first island with only one route to the New World, is arguably the island closest to headquarters in the New World.
"Not in the short term, unless they find a way that's actually possible to get rid of me."
Dunn looked very relaxed when he said this.
They don't seem to care about that.
"So, the Navy and Mary Geoise are close to here, and I'm also close to both the Marine Headquarters and Mary Geoise."
"Mutual deterrence?"
Robin nodded knowingly upon hearing this and spoke.
"They can hardly be considered a deterrent to me. I can't completely defeat the Navy and the World Government on my own right now. After all, even if they were to intervene, I'd have to do it all myself."
"But the Revolutionary Army has contacted us."
Robin suddenly remembered what Dunn had mentioned earlier.
When Crocodile reported the news to Dunn, he mentioned the contact between the Revolutionary Army and the Hunter Guild.
Dunn told Crocodile to handle it himself.
"Even adding the Revolutionary Army won't work."
Dunn shook his head.
"If a battle of this magnitude were to break out in the current situation, the consequence would be the complete loss of control over the entire world."
Dunn shook his head.
"All right!"
Robin thought for a moment after hearing this and nodded.
Indeed, a war of this magnitude, if it were to break out, would certainly lead to global chaos.
"So, you actually plan to resolve everything in the least disruptive way?"
"I wouldn't say that, because it will struggle when it senses danger. It'll just be a matter of seeing when it can't take it anymore."
Dunn shook his head slightly, then took Robin's hand.
The skin of young, beautiful women in this world is truly amazing, almost unbelievably so.
When I first met Robin, her skin wasn't as dark as I remembered from the story. But after spending time with her, her complexion has become even fairer.
With his hand grabbed by Dunn, Robin instantly forgot what he wanted to ask.
It took me a while to calm down.
She didn't pull her hand away, watching Dunn intently playing with it.
"Since you're going to establish a branch here, you haven't said who will manage it yet. According to you, the branch needs a very capable person to oversee it."
Robin reminded him.
"Are you kidding me?"
Dunn naturally understood what Robin meant.
"Yes, Mr. Yixiao is currently helping the people of Dressrosa repair the buildings in the city, as well as the royal palace on the highlands."
Robin nodded.
"A smile won't work, not because he's not strong enough, but because his abilities can help you become stronger quickly, and they've also significantly improved my strength."
As his own external gravity lock, Dunn wouldn't let Yixiao stay here now.
Moreover, the adversaries encountered during the subsequent voyages to the New World were not isolated individuals.
Besides him, the team needs at least one other person who is also quite capable.
As for Robin...
Although she possesses the power of Devil Fruit and her strength has increased during this time, Robin is not yet at the level she was in Wano Country remembered.
Moreover, even if it is achieved, it's still not enough.
Ultimately, Robin's current physical condition is still not up to par.
And we really don't have enough manpower.
Dunn stroked his chin, many figures flashing through his mind.
Of course, most of them are pirates or marines.
There aren't many guys who are neutral and quite strong.
However, there are quite a few people in this world like Yixiao who are very powerful but have little fame.
These people aren't well-known, so unless they suddenly appear on their own, they won't be easy to find.
Seeing that Dunn was deep in thought, Robin did not interrupt Dunn. His gaze lingered on Dunn's face before falling on the hand that was still being held.
Footsteps sounded outside.
Dunn and Robin both knew who the visitor was.
Viola arrived with a little girl who looked about eight or nine years old.
Her niece, Rebecca.
The female swordsman from the Dressrosa arc, dressed in extremely revealing clothing.
However, the female swordsman is not yet grown up.
Viola led Rebecca into the room and saw Dunn gently kneading Robin 'Robin fingers while Dunn and Robin stared intently at them.
Did we come at the wrong time?
Viola had this thought in her mind, and her expression became somewhat embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Rebecca, who was hiding behind Viola 'Viola skirt, peeked out and looked at Dunn.
Was this the person who drove away the despicable Doflamingo?
Dunn remained silent, waiting for Viola to speak first.
Viola, embarrassed, forgot to speak for a moment.
Robin, however, sensed something was off and took the initiative to ask.
" Viola, is there something you need from the president?"
"Oh, it's my father!"
Viola was startled awake by Robin's voice, and nodded repeatedly, looking embarrassed.
"It is like this, my father wishes to invite you to a banquet. Dressrosa would continue to be under Doflamingo's oppression without your rescue. In addition, my father also wants to tell you about the situation in Dressrosa."
In other words, what Doflamingo left behind: the factory that manufactured Devil Fruit, and dozens of Devil Fruit.
Robin was stunned, his eyes widening suddenly.
Dozens of Devil Fruit?
Robin thought he had misheard.
She turned to look at Dunn in surprise, only to see that Dunn's expression was normal, and he didn't seem surprised by the news.
"These things should be handled by you, Mr. Dunn."
After Viola finished speaking, she looked at Dunn and waited for his reply.
"How many of those Devil Fruit are man-made?"
Upon seeing this, Dunn inquired.
"It seems that most of these are the ones Doflamingo is preparing to trade with Kaido. The others are the ones he obtained at great cost during this period, which he plans to use to Devil Fruit Kaido here."
It seems they intend to use Kaido against you, but there has been no response from Kaido's side.
Viola, who previously worked under Doflamingo, was able to gather information related to Dunn.
This was not a big secret within the Donquixote Family.
However, in Viola's eyes, although Kaido of the Beasts is a big figure in the New World and a top-tier powerhouse on the sea, he is still far inferior to Dunn.
After all, Kaido of the Beasts didn't do what Dunn did.
This is the most basic understanding everyone has.
