Dunn listened to Crocodile's report on the Skypiea.
As per the previous plan, Enel created the Skypiea region, also known as the Kingdom of God, which became the place where the Hunter Exam were later held.
"Where's the funding?"
After listening to Crocodile's report on the Skypiea, Dunn thought for a moment and asked.
"I thought you, President, didn't care about this!"
Crocodile spoke in a tone that seemed somewhat sarcastic.
Dunn raised an eyebrow and gave Crocodile a look.
"Ahem, we have enough funds!"
Upon seeing Dunn's gaze, Crocodile immediately became serious.
"Actually, recently various people have been sending funds to the guild, including Stussy from before, and those people from the Underworld, who seem to be secretly sending funds to the guild as well."
Oh, and Gilder Tezog.
"The guy who ate the Gol-Gol Fruit?"
Dunn was somewhat surprised to hear the name.
"Yes, this guy also suddenly appeared in the last few years, and he seems to have some connection with Doflamingo."
Crocodile wasn't surprised that Dunn knew this person, and nodded in explanation.
"Yes, he stole the Gol-Gol Fruit from Doflamingo."
Dunn stroked his chin and said.
Speaking of which, Doflamingo seems to have handled quite a few famous Devil Fruit.
The Op-Op Fruit, the Gol-Gol Fruit, and even the originally future Mera Mera no Mi —this guy is really good at finding Devil Fruit.
"Alright, I'm very relieved to leave this to you. You did a great job!"
After standing up, Dunn patted Crocodile on the shoulder.
"Oh, by the way, those who join the Hunter Guild can't act like pirates. If someone like that exists, you know what to do."
"Clear!"
Crocodile nodded upon hearing this, his expression very solemn.
This concerns the future development and reputation of the Hunter Guild.
If you really get a bad reputation, it will take a lot more effort to correct it later.
"I'll head back first. You heard it too, Issho and Kaido are fighting. Maybe if I hurry back, I can still make it back in time."
"President!"
Seeing that Dunn was about to leave, Crocodile immediately called out to Dunn.
"What are you going to do next? Are you going to fight for control of the New World, which is controlled by those three pirate kings?"
Crocodile asked Dunn directly about his next plans.
After all, in his view, Dunn's entry into the New World would most likely lead to a conflict with these three kings of the pirate world.
For example, how long have we been in the New World?
They have already clashed with Kaido.
"That's highly likely. In the New World, I'll find suitable people to establish Hunter Guild branches on suitable islands. You can send someone to contact these branches."
"Understood."
Crocodile nodded.
However, after thinking of Whitebeard, he hesitated for a moment before speaking again, this time as a request.
"If you, Chairman, are determined to fight the Whitebeard Pirates, please allow me to join the battle!"
"What? You want to challenge Whitebeard again?"
Upon hearing this, Dunn immediately understood Crocodile's plan.
After all, Crocodile was forced to retreat to Paradise after being defeated by Whitebeard, and then began to plan his Gensokyo project.
My mentality was completely shattered.
Similar to Gecko Moria's situation.
"I really want to try again."
Crocodile spoke with a very solemn expression.
"Sure, Crocodile, I really hope to see you defeat that old man."
Dunn smiled and agreed to the request.
"Thank you, Chairman!"
"No need for thanks, after all, we're on the same side now."
With a wave of his hand, Dunn walked outside.
Upon reaching the doorway, Dunn stopped and turned around. "Arrange for a ship to take Boa Hancock back to Amazon Lily as soon as possible. Also, if the Navy and the World Government attack the Hunter Guild, just retaliate."
To what extent should it be done?
"It will be all right!"
After saying that, Dunn strode out, and then a loud explosion was heard outside.
Crocodile knew Dunn was gone without even seeing him.
Hancock and Raleigh Shakky also heard the noise when Dunn left.
"I can handle this on my own."
Boa Hancock looked at Rayleigh and said, "Clearly, Dunn's decision to send her back to Amazon Lily has upset her."
When someone is in a bad mood, their tone is naturally somewhat unfriendly.
" Boa Hancock, this is no small matter."
Rayleigh and Shakky naturally understood Boa Hancock's personality.
"This is not a time for you to act recklessly."
Rayleigh's expression was serious.
After all, if the Navy and the World Government were to actually take action against Boa Hancock, who had been stripped of her Shichibukai title, and also attack Amazon Lily, the casualties would certainly be significant.
On Crocodile's side, however...
Because Crocodile's current status is special.
Although he lost his status as Shichibukai, his current position as the vice president of the Hunter Guild is far more prestigious than Shichibukai.
After all, Dunn is backing the Hunter Guild.
The terrifying sword marks on the Red Line are something that everyone who reaches the Sabaody Archipelago must see for themselves.
" Boa Hancock, what you need to do now is return to Amazon Lily immediately to deal with what might happen next. Only after this is resolved can you return to Dunn's side."
Shakky took the cigarette out of her mouth and said abruptly.
Boa Hancock was taken aback for a moment, but after understanding Shakky's words, she immediately nodded.
"Then let's go back quickly!"
With that, Boa Hancock got up and left.
Rayleigh and Shakky looked at each other in bewilderment.
"That's a really useful reason."
Rayleigh couldn't help but sigh.
"There's nothing we can do about it; this kind of thing seems to have happened frequently among the emperors of Amazon Lily throughout history."
Shakky lit another cigarette and said.
"Yes, that includes me."
Headquarters.
" Dunn has returned to Sabaody Archipelago; that's the report from our people who were monitoring the Hunter Guild."
The Sengoku period was marked by a serious expression.
Do you know why he returned?
Vice Admiral Tsuru sat upright, clearly very concerned about Dunn's return.
"Returning with Boa Hancock at this point in time, what comes to mind?"
"The matter of revoking Boa Hancock and Crocodile's Shichibukai titles?"
After a moment of contemplation, Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke.
"That must be the reason. After all, judging from the current situation, Crocodile played a significant role in the establishment of the Hunter Guild."
Or rather, Dunn might be the one making the main decisions, while Crocodile was the one implementing them. It seems Dunn values him highly.
This return may also serve as a warning to the World Government and the navy.
Sengoku rubbed his temples and said.
"That's true."
Vice Admiral Tsuru had also considered this point.
"However, we never planned to take action against the Hunter Guild now, after all, the conflict between the Hunter Guild and the pirates is already quite obvious."
