That sounds like something you would say.

Dunn wasn't surprised at all when he heard Boa Hancock say that.

Except for certain people, Boa Hancock is just like that.

"Since you've already made up your mind, Robin!"

Dunn nodded.

Putting aside Boa Hancock herself, the help she provided was a great asset to Dunn, so he naturally wouldn't refuse it.

As Dunn's voice rang out, footsteps sounded outside the door. Robin peeked in, glanced at Boa Hancock, and then looked at Dunn.

"Finished training?"

Seeing Robin's furtive expression, Dunn raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Uh, yes!"

Robin felt a little guilty upon hearing this, and then nodded, but then she remembered that Dunn's Observation Haki could cover the entire island, and her face immediately turned awkward.

"She'll be on the ship soon, so could you show her around and explain the rules?"

Dunn pointed at Boa Hancock.

rule?

What are the rules?

Robin's eyes widened in confusion.

There weren't many rules on Dunn's ship; it was just the two of them and Yixiao before.

But Robin didn't refuse and waved to Boa Hancock.

Boa Hancock didn't refuse; in fact, she was happy that Dunn hadn't rejected her.

After watching the two women leave, Dunn put away his smile, stood up, and became serious. Then, his body transformed into a streak of fire and flew into the sky, arriving at the King's Plateau Dressrosa in the blink of an eye.

The aftermath of Dunn's earlier actions here resulted in damage to the palace buildings.

At the highest point, a cloaked figure stood looking down at the intermittent flashes of lightning in the city below, accompanied by the occasional rumble of thunder.

" Devil Fruit User Rumble-Rumble Fruit, I never imagined you had such a companion."

The cloaked figure spoke with his back to Dunn, clearly having noticed Dunn's approach.

"There are many things you wouldn't expect!"

Dunn naturally recognized the person in front of him; he had met him once in Shimotsuki Village in the East Blue Shimotsuki Village and had even helped him master Armament Haki.

"You came to see me?"

Dunn stepped forward, walked to the cloaked man's side, and looked down at the city below.

The wind high above ruffled the hood of the cloaked figure's head, revealing a profile with unusual patterns.

Monkey D. Dragon, leader of the Revolutionary Army.

"Yes, I came to find you!"

Upon hearing this, Long turned to look at Dunn, his eyes filled with amazement.

"When I first met you in Shimotsuki Village, I felt you had great talent, but I never expected you to become stronger so quickly."

Dragon meant it sincerely.

Everyone who knows Dunn is shocked by this.

The dragon, however, felt it more acutely.

After all, it was with his help that Dunn mastered Armament Haki, although he understood at the time that it was only a matter of time before Dunn mastered Armament Haki.

But Dunn, who had only just mastered dual-color Haki at that time, had already become one of the strongest warriors on the sea in less than two years.

This rate of improvement is so fast, even cheating wouldn't work.

"Actually, I didn't expect it myself."

Upon hearing Long mention this, Dunn chuckled and shook his head slightly.

"When I went to Shimotsuki Village, Koushiro asked me about it. At the time, all I wanted was to live freely in this world."

Thinking back to his thoughts shortly after arriving in this world, Dunn's smile widened.

"However, after leaving Shimotsuki Village, you'll always encounter all sorts of things and meet all sorts of people, and your thoughts will change."

"That's absolutely right!"

Hearing Dunn say that, Long nodded in deep agreement.

He thought about his initial thoughts when he joined the Navy, his later dissatisfaction with the Celestial Dragon and the World Government, and his eventual disappointment with the Navy.

Long sighed.

"What you did to Mary Geoise had a really big impact."

After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself, Long turned his head and said to Dunn with a serious expression.

"That was by chance. Actually, I only wanted to kill a few Celestial Dragon at first, but I got carried away with the fight and couldn't stop."

Upon hearing Long mention this, Dunn spoke calmly.

Looking at Dunn's expression, Long was quite moved.

That's easy for you to say.

"What? Did what I did affect your plans?"

Dunn glanced sideways.

"It certainly has an impact, but it's a positive one."

Upon hearing this, the dragon shook its head in reply.

" The Revolutionary Army's situation has caught the attention of the World Government. I had sensed before that the World Government and the Navy were paying increasing attention to the Revolutionary Army. If you hadn't intervened in Mary Geoise this time, perhaps the World Government and the Navy would have taken action against the Revolutionary Army soon."

"So, I'm saying I helped you? And how about a thank you?"

Dunn was taken aback, somewhat surprised by the dragon's suggestion.

"Of course, I am grateful. For example, I helped you establish a large number of the Hunter Guild branches in the Four Blues and Paradise. Until all your people arrive, I can arrange manpower to help these branches operate."

The dragon didn't shy away from the question; it seemed it had already considered it, so it answered directly.

" Crocodile mentioned it to me before."

Dunn said upon hearing this.

"Yes, after the Mary Geoise incident, I sent people to contact Crocodile to discuss cooperation, but before that, there weren't many people willing to cooperate with us."

The Revolutionary Army was helpful in establishing the Hunter Guild branch, but if the Hunter Guild Revolutionary Army to provide assistance in the future, it would be of great benefit to the Revolutionary Army as well.

At the very least, the Hunter Guild will definitely attract a lot of attention from the World Government in the future, preventing the World Government from focusing all its attention on the Revolutionary Army.

"Actually, destroying the World Government is not difficult for me now."

After hearing what Long said, Dunn remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"I know!"

Upon hearing Dunn's words, Long immediately nodded.

But you didn't do it.

"Yes, if we do that, the world will really descend into chaos. The Hunter Guild's current capabilities are insufficient to maintain order in such a situation."

" Dunn, do you want to be the King of the World someday?"

Long turned to face Dunn and asked with a serious expression.

" King of the World?"

Upon hearing this, Dunn glanced sideways at the solemn-looking Long and smiled.

"My original ideals have not changed. In fact, whether the world will be orderly or chaotic in the future, or whether the people in this world live well or poorly, has little to do with me."

You can think of me as just being bored and looking for something to do.

"That's not the answer I want to hear."

Long was taken aback, then frowned slightly and said...

Even Dunn that he wanted to be the King of the World would be a better answer than this.

This answer suggests that Dunn doesn't really care what the world will become.

"But don't worry, since I'm going to do it, I naturally want to do it well. After all, I'm bored!"
