If it was Aokiji alone before, Dawn might have just watched the show quietly and then demonstrated his strength on the sea.
But now with Garp, Dawn can do whatever he wants to die... cough cough, how come Doflamingo is so mad? Anyway, they are all mortal enemies, so he should just strike when the time is right.
When Vergo's undercover status is exposed, I'm sorry, no matter how angry you are, you will be chased by the navy and run away like a dog.
After all, he still wanted to plan the position of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. It was natural for him to lie low for a while once Vergo's affairs were exposed. As for the revenge afterwards?
If Dawn can't even compete with Doflamingo by that time, then he might as well just serve as a marine for a few years and then go to the North Sea to marry a few beautiful girls as princesses and enjoy life.
Obviously, Doflamingo's traces were not hidden. At least under the attack of Lieutenant General Crane and Rosinandi inside and outside, Aokiji and his group soon arrived at the island where the other party was hiding.
This is a very chaotic island in the Grand Line where all kinds of people gather. After the Great Pirate Era began, it became a gathering place for pirates.
The randomly discarded garbage and dilapidated buildings make this place look extremely messy, but only Dawn, Garp, and Aokiji landed on the island this time.
Because Dawn's strength needs to be tested to see if he has the ability to sail alone and capture pirates, Dawn can select an officer to verify it during the fight with Doflamingo.
This was what he had discussed with Aokiji on the ship before. Anyway, with a big boss-level Garp standing here to support him, the treatment was simply amazing.
The three of them changed into casual clothes in order not to alert the enemy. Although there were pirates with bad intentions along the way, they were all dealt with by Dawn.
Seeing that the youngest ones are the tough ones, naturally no one dares to cause trouble.
Passing through a dark alley, Dawn could see from afar a little fat man and a little girl in maid clothes standing next to him buying something, and next to them stood a guy wearing a helmet.
With Dawn's current eyesight, he could naturally see the appearance of the three people clearly.
The little fat man has buck teeth and a weird hairstyle. The little maid looks very cute and is carrying the goods she bought. As for the people around them, Dawn also recognized his identity.
At this moment, he was wearing a black helmet. The round lenses and the mask on his face covered his face. There were scars on both sides of the glasses left by the sutured wounds.
He was wearing a long black trench coat decorated with metal decorations such as gears. He didn't look like a good guy. If he were in his previous life, his image would be similar to that of a serial killer in a movie.
Gladius.
A cadre of the Don Quixote family, belonging to the Spade Pica Army, a special attack force.
Of course, this information was supplemented by Dawn based on naval intelligence after he came to this world and made enemies with Doflamingo. After all, it is really hard to remember the name of a guy with a long name and not many roles.
As for the little fat guy, Dawn didn't remember his name, but he knew that his ability was like a helicopter.
However, when seeing the little girl in maid clothes, it is not difficult to guess her identity. It is baby5. Seeing baby5, Dwayne touched his chin and couldn't help but smile evilly.
"Mr. Aokiji, Mr. Garp, leave this to me. It will just prove my progress over the years." Dawn said to the two people beside him.
"Gradius? Well, the purpose of this trip is to test the results of your practice and see the upper limit of your strength." Aokiji yawned and said lazily.
"Hahaha, Dwayne, don't lose." Cap pinched his nose and laughed, looking like he didn't care at all.
After that, the two of them stood there and watched Dawn walk towards Gladius alone.
"Who are you? What's the matter?" Gladius watched the remaining two people stop and only Dawn was walking towards him from a distance. He thought that the other party was a pirate who came to visit.
After all, have you ever seen anyone send only one person to cause trouble?
"Well, I do have something to talk to you about, but first you should fight with me to test my strength!"
Dawn snapped his fingers at any time, and countless translucent bullets appeared behind Dawn and shot towards Gladius.
"Hmph, you're here to cause trouble? You two, step back." Gladius looked at the incoming attack and greeted the two men before ignoring them.
As for Baby5 and Buffalo, when they saw the two sides fighting, they decisively ran to the back. After all, their Don Quixote Pirates would not give them extra care just because they were little kids.
"Stone blast!"
The gear-embedded device on Gladius's left arm rotated, shooting out several small gray round stones.
After being shot out, the gray round stone continued to expand in the air, and when the sphere was about to come into contact with Dawn's bullet, the sphere exploded directly.
"boom!"
The impact of the explosion blocked Dawn's dense barrage of bullets, but Dawn had only said hello to give the two little ghosts time to evacuate the battlefield, and he didn't expect to defeat the opponent.
"War song!"
Dawn was surrounded by a silver halo. He moved to the left side of Gladius and threw a straight punch.
"Little devil, you dare to provoke our Don Quixote family, you will pay the price!"
"Black Feather Arm Cannon!"
Gladius was well prepared for Dawn's close-range attack. His arms hidden under his black windbreaker had been expanding in secret, and when they collided with Dawn's fists, they would explode instantly!
"boom!"
Ashes and flames instantly engulfed Dwayne, but in just a moment Gladius's expression changed. Before he could react, a pitch-black fist with a whistling sound instantly came to his chest!
"Helmet Explodes" Gladius spat out a mouthful of blood and the helmet on his head swelled up the moment he was attacked.
Countless pieces of helmet that were splashed around by the explosion turned into high-speed blades and attacked Dawn, just like the heavy rain of pear blossom needles in ancient novels that Dawn remembered.
"Triple empty shield!" Dawn felt that the shield in front of him was about to break, so he quickly stopped and created empty shields to block it.
Not only that, the strong shock wave generated by the explosion greatly increased the lethality and speed of the fragments. Even Dawn had to continuously create air shields to defend himself on the spot.
"A little kid actually possesses Armament Haki, who are you?" Gladius said with a serious look.
"You are far from qualified to know my name." Dawn looked at Gladius in front of him and replied disdainfully.
Chapter 132 Dawn vs Gladius
Facing Gladius's solemnity, Dawn looked relaxed on the surface, but in fact he also attached great importance to the other party in his heart.
However, the opponent now obviously regarded him as an opponent who could use Haki perfectly, but in fact, Dawn's use of Haki was not as skillful as he imagined.
So psychologically, the pressure on both sides is the same.
After just a fight, Dawn discovered that the opponent mainly relied on his ability.
As for physical skills, Dwayne had the upper hand.
However, the opponent's ability is explosion, which is a very threatening ability. If you are not careful to guard against it, you may be injured in an instant. This made Dawn feel a lot of pressure in the previous confrontation.
Under this pressure, Dawn gradually became more proficient in the use of Armament Haki.
But this is normal. Relying on the increase in physical "attributes" brought by the Ouroboros, not only his physical fitness but also his talent has gradually become terrifying.
Before, perhaps due to his age, Armament Haki had always been a finishing touch, but the one-year battle in the West Sea gave Dawn feedback, coupled with the training and digestion after returning to the Navy Headquarters, Dawn's strength is now in a period of rapid growth!
This is also the reason why Dawn wanted to challenge Gladius when he saw him. He needed constant fighting to stimulate his potential and fully stimulate the "attributes" hidden in himself so that his strength could increase rapidly.
Facing Dwayne's provocation, there was no anger on Gladius' face. This guy's ability gave people a sense of irritability, but in fact he was very smart and Dwayne couldn't help but be careful.
"shave"
Dawn was determined to engage in close combat with the opponent. Although the opponent's ability was also close combat, it did not mean that he could surpass Dawn in terms of physical fitness. All that was left was to be able to defend against the opponent's attacks.
Gladius only felt a figure flash past him, and from the corner of his eye he could see a blurry black shadow coming in front of him at an extremely fast speed.
Dawn tensed his whole body and kicked out from left to right.
Gladius snorted coldly without panicking: "Since you can't stop it, then use an unstoppable method!"
As soon as he finished speaking, part of Gladius' scalp suddenly swelled up into a small ball, and exploded as Dawn approached.
"Exploding hair!"
This move was extremely insidious. Along with the explosion of Gladius' hair, his hair turned into poisonous needles as thin as cow hair with the strong impact and accelerated towards Dwayne.
"Resist the halo!"
But Dawn, who had watched the anime, knew that his opponent had such a move, and he blocked the opponent's attack early on.
At the same time, the halo suddenly exploded, directly forming a huge impact, blocking all the opponent's hidden weapons.
Then, taking this opportunity, Dawn immediately created an empty shield and wanted to engage in close combat.
He was about to get close to the other person, but the sudden sense of crisis forced Dawn to give up.
Dawn decisively used the power of the resistance halo to compress the air, endured the damage of the impact and pushed himself backwards. At the same time, countless layers of walls made of air defended Dawn in front of him.
And it turned out that Dawn was right. The next moment, the place where Gladius was standing exploded like a balloon, and the powerful explosion razed everything around it to the ground.
"Click, click, click."
The empty shield created by Dawn was constantly shattered and was constantly replenished by the air around him. As long as his defense was not broken instantly, Dawn would not be afraid of anyone.
Blast o rock o celebration!
At some point, Gladius used the moment of the explosion to set up several detonation mechanisms on the ground and waited for Dawn's arrival.
The power of this explosion is very strong.
Moreover, the surrounding ground, buildings and trees will also form debris of large and small due to the detonation, and will accelerate the flight to all directions to form secondary killing with strong shock waves.
Gladius is like a tough hedgehog. Every time he wants to engage in close combat, he has to defend himself because of his opponent's abilities.
But as long as you defend, the shock wave of the explosion will blow you away from the opponent.
"Hahaha, this kid Dawn actually still has the upper hand. His strength has improved a lot." Karp stood in the distance and watched the battle between the two sides with a big grin.
"Ah Lala, after all, he is a leader among the younger generation, but this kid must not have yet reached his full potential."
Aokiji also nodded with satisfaction. With such combat power, even at a young age, he could lead the soldiers to capture pirates on his own in the first half.
"Doflamingo should be making some movement as well, after all, there's so much noise here." Feeling the movement on both sides, the two men still ignored it and looked towards the battlefield.
As for Dawn, he knew without a second thought how Doflamingo would react after hearing the noise, and knew he couldn't delay any longer.
"I wanted to have some fun, but it looks like we have to make do with it quickly." Dawn twisted his neck helplessly.
"Little boy, if you brag, everyone will wait and see if you can still laugh."
Faced with Dawn's continuous provocations, even a clay Buddha would get angry. Gladius seemed to be so angry that his whole body swelled up.
Of course, this is not because the other party is really angry, but because of the other party’s ability.
Dawn stood still in response to Gladius's actions, but if you look closely, you can see that the silver halo under Dawn's feet is actually turning red little by little.
But what followed was an even more powerful aura growing on Dwayne.
"Two-pole blood song!"
As the silver halo surrounding his body shattered, Dwayne's appearance also changed. First, his black eyes turned scarlet red, and his temperament also changed greatly.
Revealing fierce murderous intent and anger, his blood seemed to solidify and boil in his body. The next moment, Dwayne disappeared from Gladius' sight.
