Dunn returned to a destroyed island, found that the news had spread, and decided that the attention could help him build a reputation for the Hunter Association.

• Sengoku warned Garp that Dunn’s conflict with Doflamingo could cause serious trouble, and Garp agreed that Dunn might be better off staying out of the Navy.
• Garp told Aokiji that the Navy would not give Dunn a bounty because his actions were part of a personal grudge and had harmed no civilians.
