Dunn gave Annie the Intelligence Potions and rested with her while the island’s storm cleared. After three days, he had gathered about 400 pirates across four ships and was eager to raise his bounty so he could advance to the third tier.

• Dunn gave Annie the Intelligence Potions, and they began taking their Attribute Potions while resting on the island.

• Dunn divided the ordinary pirates among the four ships and looked forward to raising his bounty and advancing to the third tier.

Dunn tested his Conqueror's Color Haki and discovered that repeated exposure could raise his crew's willpower, so the fleet slowed down to let the pirates train. A month later, the crew had grown stronger and Dunn's ships were operating as a pirate fleet near the main shipping lane.

• Annie left to contact her family, gather information, and find a naval port for them to attack.
• Alone on deck, Dunn steeled himself to target soldiers rather than civilians, though he still felt uneasy about killing them.

The Boll Family argued over Annie’s mission and the resources spent hiring the [Oathkeeper], with Annie’s father giving her one final chance to prove herself. Annie then brought Dunn information on a third-tier naval target, Morin, whose abilities and troops made him a suitable test of Dunn’s strength.

• Annie’s father told the family that Annie would receive one last chance to demonstrate her potential before they gave up on her.
• A few days later, Annie gave Dunn information about Morin, a third-tier [General] in waters a dozen or so days’ sail away.
• Dunn learned that separating Morin from his soldiers would weaken him, making him a fitting opponent, though Dunn still doubted his own strength compared with Jaeger’s.

• The pirates fired a signal flare and bombarded the harbor, waking the soldiers and plunging Pulan Harbor into chaos.
• Morin charged Dunn with his spear, and Dunn blocked his upward sweep with his Guard Sword.

• Green and the others joined the battle, helping stabilize the fighting as the regular army’s professionals and the pirates’ forces reached a bloody stalemate.

Dunn fought Morin, using his silver mirror to survive a spear thrust and misleading Morin about his abilities. He exploited Morin’s vulnerability to make him dodge, but Morin then launched a furious assault that left Dunn struggling to defend himself.

• Morin’s spear struck Dunn over the heart, but the silver mirror hidden there stopped the blow from killing him.
• Morin mistook Dunn’s equipment and resilience as signs that he belonged to a powerful faction and was a physical-side Professional, while Dunn refused to clarify.

Dunn defeated Morin by regenerating from a seemingly fatal head wound and draining the blood from Morin’s body, but Morin began transforming his Battle Aura into forbidden killing aura. The battle at Pulan Harbor remained unresolved as both sides witnessed Morin’s return to the battlefield.

The Wesley fleet discovered the massacre and vowed to pursue Dunn, while the Boll Family discussed Dunn’s potential and arranged to protect Annie and contact the Nobeli Kingdom.

• Hoffman explained that Morin had wanted him to become an [Illusionist] and conceal his massacres, then declined Dunn’s offer to join the group.

• Dunn suppressed his anger over fleeing and began looking for a target on which to vent it.

After the fleet entered uncharted waters, Dunn and the pirates kept watch for sea monsters until a giant tentacled beast attacked and destroyed one of their ships. Dunn killed the monster with blood manipulation, leaving the fleet to face the dangers of the uncharted waters without its threat.

• Dunn maintained Observation Haki while Annie and the crews carefully navigated the uncharted waters.
