This is East Blue!
Dunn calmly looked at Doru, the pirate with a wild expression, who had a bounty of 2.5 million Berries.
According to stereotypes, most pirates are clueless, and when they don't encounter a crisis, they are usually arrogant and conceited.
A bounty of 2.5 million Berries is just small fry, even in the weakest East Blue.
However, what caught Dunn's attention was a green label above Doru's head.
ăElite Pirateă
Is this the system's evaluation of enemies?
Dunn's gaze swept over the other pirates gathered around him.
They all had gray labels.
ăMinionă, ăCannon Fodderă, ăCommoneră
Is it a fixed evaluation or an evaluation relative to himself?
Dunn pondered.
But his calm demeanor angered Doru, who was holding a knife in front of him.
Having been at sea for a year and raided several islands, although he hadn't plundered any valuable treasures, the weaklings he faced all showed expressions of fear.
Now, this brat in front of him, with a knife already at his neck, actually dared to be distracted.
Especially feeling the pirates gathering around, Doru felt his authority was being challenged.
"Damn brat, you're very arrogant!"
Doru's face showed a fierce expression, his tone became gloomy, and his right hand holding the knife suddenly exerted force, slashing across Dunn's neck.
Too easy!
Doru was stunned, then his eyes looked at Dunn, who had shifted his gaze to him.
The wound on the neck, where the knife had just slashed, was burning with orange-red flames, with not a drop of blood flowing out.
After the flames extinguished, the wound had already healed.
ăCurrent HP: 100%ă
Doru subconsciously took a step back, looking at Dunn in terror.
Although his intelligence wasn't high, that scene just now made him understand that the person in front of him was not someone he could deal with.
Dunn glanced at Doru, the flames wrapped around his body completely receded, and he walked towards the pirate ship docked on the shore.
The surrounding pirates were all as silent as cicadas, hurriedly making way and watching Dunn's back leave.
Gulp!
Doru swallowed hard.
"Captain?"
A pirate, who looked like a small leader, carefully approached and called out, startling the terrified Doru awake.
"Bastard!"
After being startled awake, Doru seemed to be somewhat mortified, his curved saber in his hand trembling slightly.
"Board the ship!"
Under the gaze of many pirates, Doru finally spoke after holding it in for a long time.
This was a deserted island; if they didn't board the ship, it would be a death sentence.
After the flames extinguished, presumably nothing would be left on the island.
As for swimming to another island?
They only had one choice: return to the ship and await an unknown fate.
And Dunn, of course, understood this.
Apart from knowing that this was the East Blue of the pirate world, he knew nothing else, so he needed a guide.
Of course, these pirates were also walking money bags for him.
After all, this world had Pirate Hunters.
A moment later, Dunn sat behind a wooden crate, with dozens of pirates standing opposite him, their faces filled with apprehension.
"Where is the nearest Marine Base?"
Dunn asked, scrutinizing these pirates.
At his question, the group of pirates exchanged glances, then their gazes fell on Doru, who was standing at the front.
Doru naturally noticed this situation and cursed inwardly.
"Marine Branch 16!"
"Set sail, head to Branch 16." Dunn nodded, smiling.
"But we're pirates!"
Doru's eyes nearly popped out at the words, and he instinctively shouted.
The other pirates also stirred.
Snap!
Upon hearing this, Dunn raised his hand and snapped his fingers, a spark bursting forth from his fingertip.
The next moment, with a boom, the spark expanded, instantly transforming into a large fireball over a meter in diameter.
The agitated pirates retreated in terror, staring in awe at the fireball hovering at Dunn's fingertip.
"Set sail!"
Dunn spoke again, and this time, these pirates quickly became busy.
No one wanted to experience what it felt like to be hit by a fireball.
All the pirates started to get busy; even those who had nothing to do pretended to be busy, fearing that Dunn would target them.
Only after the fireball disappeared did the pirates on the ship collectively sigh in relief.
And Doru, apprehensively, put the treasures he had collected from the island into a bag and presented them to Dunn.
In the face of unknown great fear, even a fool would know what choice to make.
"Is this the East Blue?"
Dunn glanced at the treasures, not really understanding their value, so he simply asked what he wanted to know.
"Yes, sir!"
Doru's previous arrogance had completely vanished; he was now incredibly honest, almost on his knees as he answered.
"Do you know Windmill Village?"
Doru looked bewildered.
"Do you know Shimotsuki Village?"
Doru became even more confused.
"Do you know Garp?"
Seeing Doru's expression, Dunn asked again.
"Navy Hero Garp?"
Doru hesitated, apparently confused to hear Garp's name from Dunn.
Oh, he knows Garp.
Dunn nodded, it seemed he wasn't completely clueless.
"Who is the Fleet Admiral?"
Dunn asked again.
Doru's expression became bewildered once more.
This guy knows some things, but not much.
After questioning him for a full half-hour, Dunn still hadn't gotten a clear understanding of the current situation.
Even if he knew Garp, Doru only knew the name, that he was a great figure beyond his reach, and he didn't even know that Garp also came from the East Blue.
As for what time it was, he was completely clueless.
It wasn't until Doru felt he knew nothing, and, looking at the calm Dunn, felt that Dunn was about to get angry, that he produced a newspaper and hurriedly left.
Year 1511 of the Sea Calendar.
In the corner, there was a photo of Doru and his bounty of 2.5 million Berries, perhaps that's why it was kept.
"Boa Hancock, Empress of Amazon Lily Kingdom, Captain of the Kuja Pirates, with a bounty of 80 million, has agreed to join the Marine and become a Shichibukai."
Dunn looked at the big news that occupied an entire page of the newspaper.
Then, looking at the slightly youthful face of the Pirate Empress, Dunn blinked.
"So, there are probably eight or nine years left until Wang Lufei sets sail?"
Dunn recalled the memories in his mind; he couldn't remember the exact date, but it should have been around 1520.
Of course, Dunn was only thinking about this to determine the current time, in order to formulate his next plan, or rather, his plan to become stronger.
The Flame-Flame Devil Fruit gave him a safety net, and his data-based ability was his trump card.
But Haki and swordsmanship, he would not give up.
Since it was the East Blue, Shimotsuki Village was a must-visit, as it was likely the easiest place for him to obtain Haki training methods and learn good swordsmanship here.
