Cooperation

This was the first time Sirius had met Dragon.

Their appearance was pretty much as he had imagined.

He was tall and robust, with a firm and composed gaze.

You can tell at a glance that he's an extraordinary man.

"I've been looking forward to this meeting for a long time," Dragon extended his hand to Sirius.

Sirius chuckled softly and reached out to shake Dragon's hand. "So, Dragon, what brings you here?"

He didn't mince words at all; he went straight to the point.

Dragon smirked. "I've noticed you ever since Mr. Sirius and your Beasts Pirates."

"Oh?"

Sirius somewhat surprised, so why are you guys paying attention to a pirate if you have nothing else to do?

"Shall we sit down and talk?"

Dragon looked at Koshiro, "Mr. Koshiro, I'm sorry to have troubled you again."

"It's nothing, just relax." Koshiro was still smiling.

It seems that he is indeed an important partner of the Revolutionary Army, or rather, he is actually a member of the Revolutionary Army.

Dragon and his group sat down in the dojo, with Sirius and his companions sitting opposite them.

In terms of sheer presence, Sirius's side had won a complete victory. Jack and Maria, both towering figures, were awe-inspiring to the Revolutionary Army.

It seems the bear didn't follow, otherwise it wouldn't have suffered such a loss.

There's no need to hide yourself from your friends.

Dragon said.

As he spoke, the Revolutionary Army behind him also removed the cloaks that concealed their faces.

Sirius glanced at these guys briefly.

Well, not only is the bear gone, but the Okama King is gone too, and Inazuma is gone as well.

There wasn't a single familiar cadre among them.

Oh no, it's not entirely without them.

There was a yellow-skinned Fish-Man wearing a white karate uniform, and beside him was a smiling blonde girl in a dress.

"Fish-Man?"

Jack noticed the Fish-Man and was somewhat surprised. "Are there Fish-Man in the Revolutionary Army?"

"Of course, my name is Haku."

The Fish-Man solemnly replied, "Our Revolutionary Army's goal is to liberate all the oppressed people in the world and overthrow the Celestial Dragon who exploit the world. Fish-Man, or mermaids, are the most oppressed race!"

Jack paused for a moment, then grinned. "So, there are guys like you too?"

"How?"

Dragon was somewhat surprised. "Haku is Fish-Man, is there something wrong with that?"

"Because Jack is Fish-Man too,"

Sirius casually remarked, "I also encountered a group of very annoying Fish-Man earlier."

"Hey! Is the big guy Fish-Man too?"

The blond girl was astonished. "I can't tell at all! There's such a big difference between you and Haku and Mr. Tiger."

"Is that not allowed?"

Jack scoffed.

Although his Fish-Man features are somewhat concealed, that doesn't change the fact that he belongs to a particular race.

"And also, the Tiger you mentioned—" Jack asked, "Are you talking about Fisher Tiger?"

Even Jack, who was in the New World at the time, had heard of that man's reputation.

"That's right!"

The blonde girl smiled brightly, "He is my great benefactor!"

"Tiger?"

Yamato blinked, then nudged Sirius's shoulder, looking somewhat confused, and leaned closer. "Tiger, who is that?"

Sirius laughed and said, "He's a great hero."

"Hero?"

What is a hero?

Sirius believed that, regardless of the reason, being willing to stand against the powerful for the oppressed was the most heroic act.

Haku heard Sirius's words, smiled at Sirius, and then solemnly said, "That's right, Brother Tiger is a hero of the entire Fish-Man Race!"

"The reason I joined the Revolutionary Army is to carry on Brother Tiger's will! One day, we will bring Fish-Man Island to the surface! Let Fish-Man and Mermaids also bask in the sunlight! Let us live openly and proudly under the blue sky alongside humans!"

Jack was somewhat stunned.

Fish-Man, my fellow fish, aren't all of them like Arlong after all?

"Haven't you always wanted to know what Fish-Man Island looks like?"

Sirius laughed and said, "This is a good opportunity, Jack. Go and ask Mr. Haku about it."

Jack nodded slightly, then gave Haku a questioning look.

"Fish-Man Island? It has indeed been a long time since I've been back," Haku said with a smile. "Since Mr. Jack is curious, I will certainly tell you everything I know."

They went into the yard.

The blond-haired girl followed along with a grin.

"As expected of your partner Mr. Sirius."

Dragon suddenly said that.

"Huh? Why?"

"Ordinary Fish-Man pirates would never be moved by Haku's words," Dragon said with some emotion. "They are just driven by hatred or greed."

He looked directly into Sirius's eyes. "But you are different, and that's evident from Mr. Jack."

"When we were with the Beasts Pirates, we never raided any country; on the contrary, we always brought peace to those countries."

"The nobles, who despise the cruel oppression of the people, admire the warriors who fight for the people and for the country."

"Mr. Sirius, on this vast ocean, without a doubt, you are the most unique pirates."

"Mmm-hmm,"

Yamato nodded in deep agreement, "That's exactly how Sirius is!"

"I must say, he truly lives up to his reputation as captain."

Luo chuckled lightly, "He always does things that don't match his infamous reputation."

Some understood why the Revolutionary Army had come knocking on their door.

Because they are so special.

"So?" Sirius raised an eyebrow, not particularly concerned.

"So I think we are natural allies."

Dragon said earnestly, "The World Government is the root of all the turmoil on this sea. Only by overthrowing them, by overthrowing the Celestial Dragon, will all the chaos and disorder disappear."

"The world needs your help, Mr. Sirius."

"Does the world need me?"

Sirius chuckled. "Forget it, Mr. Dragon."

Dragon was slightly taken aback.

"Saving others is a noble thing, but it's not something I want to do."

Sirius spoke leisurely, "In fact, I didn't intend to save anyone; I was simply acting according to my own likes and dislikes."

"That's what Sirius always says."

Black Maria said with a smile.

"Mmm-hmm," Yamato nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, "It's always been like this since I was little."

"Is that so? Acting according to your own likes and dislikes?"

Dragon wasn't disappointed; instead, his smile widened. "A remarkable statement."

It's truly remarkable that there are no vested interests involved, and everything is based solely on likes and dislikes.

"But one thing is certain, Mr. Sirius,"

"The government is our common enemy," Dragon said.

"That's true." Sirius nodded in agreement.

Although he had no intention of actively opposing the government, the government was always haunting him and kept causing him trouble.

"So, Mr. Dragon, although we can't cooperate, I can introduce you to a potential partner," Sirius said with a smile.

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

"Judge."

Sirius, "Vinsmoke Judge, he also wants to fight against the government, and he's in the East Blue right now."

Dragon frowned. "Vinsmoke, Germa?"

"Judge is a very outstanding scientist,"

Sirius said, "Although he's a scumbag, he's only a scumbag at home; he still has some sense of morality when it comes to outsiders."

Isn't that right?

Germa is a renowned mercenary group in the Underworld; who would dare hire them if they didn't have a sense of honor?

Besides, the government already dislikes them, and if Judge dares to cause trouble again, the story of the Marine Hero Sora will be more than just a story.

Is that so?

Dragon nodded. "Thank you very much, Mr. Sirius. I will send someone to contact them as soon as possible."

"Then, in return, Mr. Dragon, shouldn't you do me a favor?"

Sirius asked.

"Of course," Dragon without hesitation.

"Do you know that guy from CP0 called Vulture?"

"Vulture?"
