Looking at Dunn's smiling face, Long pondered Dunn's words and found himself increasingly unable to understand Dunn.

It's normal that he can't see through it.

Dunn didn't have any lofty ideals or anything like that he felt compelled to achieve in this world.

Along the way, they dealt with problems as they encountered them. Even the establishment of the Hunter Guild was something that Dunn only became interested in after Robin brought it up.

Dunn will do his best, but if he can't, he won't make things difficult for himself.

Long believed that someone who could reach Dunn's level of strength must have a firm will and a goal that constantly motivated him to become stronger.

Only someone like that has something to support him in continuing to grow stronger.

But Dunn doesn't need that.

After all, getting stronger is as simple as keeping an eye on the changes on the panel.

"If you're leaving, please give Crocodile something to take back with you."

Seeing the dragon deep in thought, Dunn spoke up.

"Um?"

Long was taken aback and gave Dunn a questioning look.

"This place used to be controlled by Doflamingo. He collected some Devil Fruit and brought them to Crocodile for me to use later."

Dragon was speechless upon hearing this.

He, Monkey D. Dragon, leader of the Revolutionary Army, you want me to be a deliveryman?

"Can!"

The dragon nodded.

But after a moment, Dragon stared blankly at the box in front of him, at the Devil Fruit piled up inside like fruit, and gave Dunn a puzzled look.

Are these called some?

Even as the leader of the Revolutionary Army, he had never seen so many Devil Fruit placed together.

"Don't be surprised, Doflamingo got them, and most of them are Artificial Devil Fruit. Although they have some of the characteristics of Devil Fruit, their flaws seem to be significant."

These Artificial Devil Fruit are definitely not as effective as the originals.

However, for most people, Devil Fruit are just legends. Let alone Devil Fruit, they may not even have seen a Devil Fruit user.

These Artificial Devil Fruit, if you insist on talking about their value, certainly have some, but apart from Kaido, they don't really have that much value to anyone else.

It's all because Kaido insisted on creating the Beasts Pirates.

This guy wants all his subordinates to be Zoan users.

Ke'ai Duo doesn't want to be a kindergarten principal; she wants to be a zoo principal.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have cooperated with Doflamingo.

But if you think about it this way...

Dunn stroked his chin.

"Keep these Artificial Devil Fruit; take the rest back with Crocodile."

After thinking for a moment, Dunn pushed the box containing the Artificial Devil Fruit aside.

Seeing Dunn's actions and looking at the box containing more than a dozen Devil Fruit, Dragon nodded.

"Okay, I'll deliver it."

"Well then, farewell. I should head out to explore the New World now."

Dunn waved his hand.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing Dunn kick people out, Long was speechless for a moment before remembering his other purpose for coming here.

"I plan to launch the operation ahead of schedule and establish the name of the Revolutionary Army. I hope to borrow your name in return."

Long took a deep breath and said.

Since we're cooperating, we should naturally aim to maximize our benefits.

Moreover, this incident didn't cause Dunn any loss, since the World Government had long been watching him and hated Dunn to the core.

"Well, no way!"

Dunn resolutely refused.

Long's expression froze, and he stared directly at Dunn.

"It's not that I don't want the Revolutionary Army to use my name, but there's an old monster among the Celestial Dragon. You should have heard of her. She possesses a weapon that launches powerful attacks from the sky, which is suspected to be the Ancient Weapon Uranus."

It seems unusable regularly, but it's okay to use occasionally. Back in Dressrosa, she used that thing to launch an attack, but I neutralized its power.

"Now that you're openly using this name, you must have already planned for many countries to raise their banners in rebellion against the World Government. But are you sure you can handle the consequences?"

Dunn's news caused Long's expression to change drastically.

His expression shifted, then he nodded firmly.

"Okay, I understand."

"The time isn't right yet. Anyway, these things can't be done in a short time. You just need to stretch out the time, and the originally complicated things will become simpler. Here's a hint: Vegapunk is very important."

"You mean, Vegapunk has something to do with this weapon?"

Upon hearing this, Long asked in confusion.

He certainly knew Vegapunk; he had met Vegapunk when he was still in the Navy.

He also knew that Vegapunk possessed some technologies that were far ahead of the rest of the world.

However, the World Government keeps a very tight watch on such an important person.

When Borsalino was a Vice Admiral, he spent a lot of time protecting Vegapunk, and he didn't completely give up that task after becoming Admiral.

"There is a connection. That thing that resembles the Uranus has a defect, probably related to energy or something else. If we can solve these problems, we might be able to launch a series of attacks, which would definitely pose a great threat."

"Of course, for you."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, the dragon nodded solemnly.

After saying that, Long picked up the box with the lid closed with one arm, glanced at Dunn, and turned to leave.

Dunn watched Long leave, shaking his head slightly.

In fact, it poses a huge threat not only to the Revolutionary Army, but also to the Hunter Guild.

After all, he couldn't possibly block all of that thing's attacks, so the key was still Vegapunk.

However, when exactly was that so-called Mother Flame created?

Sabaody Archipelago.

Crocodile looked at the beautiful woman dressed in flamboyant attire before him with a serious expression.

"Queen Stussy of Pleasure District, how dare you come here so openly? You seem to have a lot of nerve."

Although the World Government hasn't directly taken action against the Hunter Guild yet, there are definitely many people watching this situation.

This woman dares to come so directly; isn't she afraid of the World Government?

"If I were worried about these things, I wouldn't be sitting here."

Stussy brushed a strand of golden hair behind his ear, glanced at Crocodile, and smiled, saying, "You seem really relaxed."

"So what?"

"I'm just very optimistic about the Hunter Guild's future and want to invest in advance. You know, the Underworld has a lot of resources, and you're probably short of funds, right?"

Stussy looked confident.

"I'm sorry, although the guild leader said I would have full authority over guild affairs, and I agree with what you said, the guild leader may not necessarily agree."

"After all, Doflamingo is also a big figure in the Underworld, and he was only recently driven out by the chairman."

"Don't worry, I don't have any strings attached. In fact, I can join the Hunter Guild myself. Are you really not interested?"
