Cooperation After Cooperation, the Visitor
Sirius is playing a game with Yamato.
So much time has passed, and Black's gaming skills have undergone several iterations, evolving into a completely new realm.
Even in Sirius's previous life, this would be considered a fairly high level.
It's definitely the best choice for killing time.
Then a gust of wind passed through the window and swirled in the room, finally gathering and coalescing into the shape of a man.
The dark green cloak was still fluttering in the wind, and her long, jet-black hair was also flying in the air.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Sirius."
The visitor said.
"Hey! Dragon! Long time no see!" Yamato greeted him happily.
"Long time no see, Yamato," Dragon said with a smile.
The partner that Hiyori was referring to was him.
If you want to liberate Wano Country, where could you find a better partner than revolutionaries?
They had already spontaneously overthrown corrupt royal rule and liberated countries around the world.
Hiyori's request for cooperation was a perfect match for them.
Hiyori can use their strength to defeat Orochi and drive the Beasts Pirates out of Wano Country.
The Revolutionary Army can also receive a large number of reinforcements in Wano Country. The samurai of Wano Country are very powerful, and they can also get the support of such a powerful country.
This is a win-win situation.
"Let's talk about cooperation."
They decided to postpone catching up on the past; Dragon was very serious about it.
After all, he's not here as a friend now; he's the leader of the Revolutionary Army and responsible for all those who follow him.
Then he saw Sirius wave his hand, "Don't ask me about this, go find Hiyori."
"She's the one who wanted to liberate Wano Country, and she's also the one who proposed cooperating with you."
Dragon nodded. "Okay."
The situation had already been explained in the previous call, and Dragon knew that Sirius was in a difficult position, caught between Hiyori and Kaido.
He transformed into a gentle breeze once more and disappeared from the room to find Hiyori.
Yamato put down the controller, and said with a sigh, "If we add Dragon and the Revolutionary Army to the mix, Father has no chance of winning."
"What?" Sirius looked at her with a smile. "Do you want to help Teacher Kaido?"
"How could that be! Father would never need our help."
Yamato said solemnly, "Besides, what Father did wasn't a good thing to begin with!"
To describe it as good or bad is a truly naive statement.
However, Yamato is right; Teacher Kaido will absolutely not accept their pity.
"But it doesn't matter," Yamato immediately said with a grin, "We just need to do what we're supposed to do, right?"
"That's right,"
Sirius reached out and ruffled her hair. "Just do what you want to do. Nothing else is for an idiot to worry about."
"Idiot? Sirius, you bastard!!"
Enraged, Yamato pounced on Sirius.
Just do what you want to do.
This was a state that Sirius and Yamato had decided on when they were very young; it was the state they wanted to achieve.
Just like now.
Hiyori and Dragon talked for the entire afternoon, and Sirius didn't ask them what they talked about.
However, after the two concluded their cooperation negotiations, both wore bright smiles.
Sirius thought that the negotiations must have yielded significant results.
Sirius originally intended to attend a celebratory banquet, but Dragon said...
"Sirius, you and Tesoro are quite familiar with each other, aren't you?"
This question Sirius somewhat off guard.
Then he nodded and said, "We're not particularly close, but at least we can talk."
"So,"
"Could you introduce me to him?" Dragon asked.
"Yeah?"
Sirius raised an eyebrow. "This is quite an interesting experience. Can you tell me, Dragon, why?"
"In the last year or two, we have received a lot of funding."
Dragon did not intend to hide Sirius.
One thing he was very clear about was that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Sirius Pirates would be their most steadfast allies.
"Actually, it wasn't just us; many government resistance organizations received the same thing."
"Oh?" Sirius had already vaguely guessed it.
"So I thought perhaps we had a very reliable ally of the Hidden Ones, so I investigated."
"Is it Tesoro?"
"Certainly."
"I see."
Sirius nodded slightly.
Tesoro really does what he says he'll do.
They really put their energy into the movement to completely overthrow the World Government.
"Okay, no problem." Sirius nodded immediately.
He was also very curious about what kind of wonderful chemical reaction would occur if the Revolutionary Army encountered the Gild Tesoro.
So Sirius went to Tesoro.
He was truly a man of great prestige; even someone as wealthy and powerful as Tesoro, with numerous businesses, vast assets, and a multitude of affairs, immediately came to see him after learning of his request.
"So, Mr. Sirius, is there something you need?"
Tesoro asked.
"Someone wants to see you," Sirius said bluntly. "Perhaps you also want to see him."
Is that so?
Tesoro frowned slightly, but nodded nonetheless. "No problem."
Since it was Mr. Sirius who introduced him, he chose to believe him.
"So, where is he?" Tesoro asked.
"Right here."
A gentle breeze swirled through the room, then coalesced into the shape of Dragon.
"You, you are!"
Amid Tesoro's astonished gaze, Dragon smiled and said, "Mr. Tesoro, I've always wanted to meet you."
After a brief moment of astonishment, Tesoro smiled. "Mr. Sirius, this is truly a wonderful surprise!"
He had indeed been looking forward to this meeting for a long time.
So Dragon immediately began talks with Tesoro.
Sirius didn't care what they were talking about and continued his joyful play with Yamato.
The meeting went very smoothly, as both men were all smiles during the banquet that evening.
However, this meeting was clearly much more crucial than the previous one between Dragon and Hiyori, and the two talked for several days.
Sirius wasn't in a hurry.
It's Teacher Kaido who should be worried, right?
He was probably still anxiously waiting for Sirius to arrive.
Then, on this day, while Sirius was playing a game with Yamato, someone knocked on his door.
It was a woman, a very beautiful woman, with red hair and a tall figure.
Sirius knows her; Baccarat, Tesoro's second-in-command, is a cheating user with the Luck-Luck Devil Fruit User can manipulate luck.
Her expression was somewhat strange. "Mr. Sirius, someone wants to see you."
"See me?"
Sirius raised an eyebrow. "Judging from your reaction, he's quite a formidable fellow?"
Baccarat forced a smile. "Very impressive."
Sirius's Observation Haki spread.
"Huh? What's that guy doing here?"
