Sparring with Uranus

The New World has many Desert Island. Because they are independent of the magnetic system and have no important resources, many islands have been almost never visited since their creation.

On this day, a visitor arrived on a Desert Island in the New World.

The large, black ship streaked across the sky like a shooting star, then stopped above the island, before slowly descending and finally landing on its surface.

This is it.

On deck, Black said.

Sirius stretched. "It will probably take Shanks and Tesoro a little longer to get here."

After making contact with Tesoro and Shanks, and to maintain secrecy, Sirius ultimately chose a Desert Island in the New World as the meeting place.

It was a place very close to the Golden City and where Shanks was at the time.

"Anyway, let's start the banquet!"

Sirius laughed loudly.

When in doubt, a banquet is the rule; this is one of the rules of the pirate world.

"I think we should forget it, Captain," Luo said with a laugh after hearing Sirius's words. "I'm afraid you'll eat the whole island because you're not satisfied."

"That's right, that's right!"

Yamato nodded in agreement, smiling as he said, "It's just like when we swallowed that asteroid back then."

"Don't make me sound like Charlotte Big Mom, okay?"

Sirius rolled his eyes. "That's just to become stronger."

After the Fenrir Fruit Awakening, Sirius's power of devouring also evolved further.

Sirius was able to slowly strengthen his physique by eating, and his body was able to grow from the level of an ordinary person to a monster physique that surpassed Yamato and Kaido, all thanks to this ability.

And now, this ability has evolved in tandem.

You can get stronger simply by eating.

Sirius's interest in eating was even stronger than before.

That is why he left behind some amazing achievements in the starry sky.

"So only the captain's abilities have a chance of defeating that Imu, right?"

Black laughed and said, "This is growth potential that completely surpasses all Devil Fruit!"

"Everything is predestined, isn't it?" Luo's lips curled into a smile. "We are the ones prophesied Vice Admiral defeat Imu and liberate this world?"

"Destiny?"

Sirius laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot? There's no such thing as destiny in this world."

If we have to talk about destiny, then it can only be Luffy, after all, he's the protagonist.

The banquet eventually began.

Although Sirius has an astonishing appetite even when he's not using his powers, he's not so greedy as to eat the entire island.

The Sirius Pirates stayed on the island for three days, and on the morning of the fourth day, the person they were waiting for finally arrived.

A black dot appeared at the edge of the horizon, then slowly approached.

"It's finally here!"

Sirius stood on the shore, watching the approaching ship on the distant sea. "It's a bit too slow, Black. If you have time, you should speed things up for them."

Having grown accustomed to the Sirius's lightning speed, the speed of these sailing ships at sea was almost unbearable to watch.

"It's Shanks!" Yamato stood beside him. "Tesoro is on the ship too!"

Sirius also sensed that his two old friends had come together.

"Sirius! Hey! Sirius!!"

As the Red Fox drew closer, a red-haired man on the ship's side began waving his arms excitedly.

"Hahaha! I knew you guys would be alright!"

Shanks the Red-Haired, who is thirty-seven years old this year and had already replaced Sirius as the new Pirate Emperor four years ago, was as happy as a child at this moment.

Is there anything in the world more joyful than knowing that a friend is safe and sound?

"Long time no see, Shanks!"

Yamato waved his arms happily and laughed heartily.

Red-Haired jumped off the deck and sprinted towards the island, his feet sinking into the seawater.

He was very fast; in just a few breaths, he had already jumped to the shore.

Red-Haired rushed over and gave Sirius a warm, tight hug.

"I'm so glad you're safe and sound, my friend."

He chuckled softly.

Four years ago, Sirius stopped Imu and ultimately lured him away so that they could evacuate safely.

Thankfully they were all safe and sound, otherwise Red-Haired felt guilty for a long time.

Sirius shook his head helplessly, then smiled and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, my friend."

The Red Fox was rapidly approaching. On the deck, Tesoro stood with the Red-Haired Pirates' executives, a bright smile on his face.

"Mr. Sirius returns, then there is nothing to fear."

Red-Haired Pirates' First Mate Beckman, took the cigarette from his mouth and slowly exhaled a smoke ring. "If we're talking about defeating that monster, perhaps only Sirius can do it."

They had witnessed the battle firsthand, and they had seen firsthand just how terrifying that guy named Imu really was.

Later, a group of people gathered on the island, and a lively and joyous banquet began.

Fortunately, the Sirius was large enough and had plenty of supplies stored on board; otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to handle such a banquet.

Of course, while the banquet was in progress, they also started discussing serious matters.

"Mr. Sirius, I already know everything."

Tesoro greatly respected Sirius and always appeared very serious and solemn in Sirius presence. "I've mobilized all my intelligence personnel, and I've also asked Morgans to help out. We should have results soon."

"Hahaha, that's great! After all, you can't reach the Final Island without stones!"

The Red-Haired, already somewhat drunk, laughed loudly, "When I first heard the news that Whitebeard had been captured by the Navy, I was also very worried. Without one of those stones, we can't find that Greatest Treasure."

"But the stone has fallen into the hands of the government, and even if we know where it is, it won't be an easy task to take it back."

Beckman was somewhat worried, "That means we'll likely have to face Imu head-on."

"Well, there's always a way. Didn't Roger steal the Poneglyph from Charlotte Big Mom?"

Sirius swirled his wine glass and said leisurely, "Besides, it's not impossible to forcibly take the stone from Imu's hands."

"Haha, how confident you are!"

Red-Haired Shanks laughed heartily, "So, it's true that Dragon said you're incredibly strong now?"

Sirius merely chuckled.

"However, I still think it's a bit too early, so, Sirius,"

Although a blush still lingered on the Red-Haired's face, his eyes were already extremely clear.

Let me confirm.

Yeah?

What's the meaning?

"Want to witness the power of Ancient Weapon, Sirius?"

Oh?
