News of the Beasts
When he came to Wano Country, Sirius had already contacted Golden Lion.
After all, they were old friends who had faced Imu together, truly sharing life and death. It wouldn't be right for them to return without saying goodbye.
Upon learning that Sirius was still alive and that the Sirius Pirates had returned, Golden Lion was already very excited during the phone call and rushed over without stopping.
Then, at Oden Castle, the two met again.
Four years have passed, Golden Lion has aged considerably. After all, he was a pirate from the same era as Roger Whitebeard, and he was quite old.
Even in his twilight years, this lion's spirit has not diminished in the slightest.
Sirius even felt that he was stronger than he had been four years ago.
"Hahahaha! I knew you'd come back! That's why I haven't stopped training in the past four years!"
The Flying Lion said, "So now that you're back, does that mean the final battle is about to begin?"
The senior's face was full of excited smiles, as if he couldn't wait to participate in that war.
"There will indeed be a war, but Shiki, this has nothing to do with you, right?"
Sirius raised an eyebrow.
Dragon wanted to overthrow the World Government, Red-Haired inherited Roger's will, but Golden Lion, what were you after? There was absolutely no need to fight the government to the death.
What nonsense are you spouting?
Senior Golden Lion snorted coldly, "Haven't I repaid the favor I owe you yet?"
Tsk.
Sirius smacked his lips.
I don't know whether to call him loyal or what.
But it doesn't matter. Since he wants to get involved, let him get involved.
"Then get ready, Senior Golden Lion."
Sirius said seriously, "You should know how troublesome the enemy is."
"Certainly!"
The Golden Lion nodded slightly.
He had participated in that battle four years ago, so he knew exactly how terrifying that guy called Imu was.
"So in these four years, I have never relaxed in the slightest!"
The Golden Lion elder was imposing, as if a lion were roaring.
"Hahaha, this is hilarious!" Red-Haired couldn't help but burst into laughter. "So now you're going to fight alongside you, Golden Lion? If Captain Roger knew, he'd probably laugh too."
The Golden Lion merely snorted coldly.
Then he looked at Sirius, "So, Sirius, what are you planning to do next?"
"First, we need to get the stone from Elder Whitebeard's hand, and then we can reach Laugh Tale."
"That Joy Boy guy must have definitely left something there," Sirius.
"They left behind something remarkable."
Red-Haired Shanks said solemnly, "Although I don't know what it is, according to Captain Roger, it's something extraordinary?"
"A stone?"
The Golden Lion frowned slightly. "But wasn't Newgate arrested by the government? And the stone is in their hands too!"
Upon first learning that Whitebeard had been captured by the government, Golden Lion was filled with mixed emotions.
Of the three great pirates of the previous era, only he remains.
"Elder Whitebeard was indeed captured, but he hid the stone," Sirius said.
Is that so?
Golden Lion's eyes lit up. "So, the next thing we need to do is rescue that Newgate guy, right?"
"At the very least, we must get information from him about where the stone is hidden."
Sirius laughed and said, "I think he'll tell me if I ask him, after all, we won the battle four years ago."
The battle four years ago was wagered on the stone in the Whitebeard's hand.
Unfortunately, although Sirius won, he did not receive any spoils of war due to Imu's sudden attack.
Even though four years have passed, it's understandable to collect some spoils, right?
"Hehehehe! Excellent! If we're going to rescue that Newgate guy, then let me help out too!"
The Golden Lion chuckled wickedly, "I can't wait to see how pathetic Newgate looks when he has to thank me!"
That's incredibly perverse.
However, Sirius could understand that the relationship between the three great pirates of the previous era was very complicated; they were not simply enemies.
Golden Lion must have suffered quite a bit at Whitebeard's hands.
While Sirius was discussing Whitebeard, almost at the same time, in Mary Geoise, Whitebeard was facing a very painful situation.
"They're incredibly tenacious; no wonder they're the Whitebeard Pirates!"
In that same cell, a man in a white robe and a mask stood in front of a one-way transparent glass pane, and said with a touch of emotion.
Outside the glass, in another cell, all the officers of the Whitebeard Pirates had been subjected to unimaginable torture, and many of them were even mutilated.
Their screams traveled through a special conduit to this side, causing the muscles on Whitebeard's face to twitch incessantly, and the bulging veins on his forehead never subsided.
He could only watch helplessly as his beloved sons suffered, and now he was powerless to do anything about it.
"Still not going to tell?"
The masked CP0 member turned around. "This isn't something a father should do. Didn't you hear their screams gradually fading away?"
"The people above have lost their patience. Here's what we'll do, Whitebeard: we'll kill one of your sons every day until you speak."
"..."
The Whitebeard suddenly looked up and opened his eyes wide, an invisible aura emanating from him.
"Wow, what an amazing spirit!"
CP0 simply smiled, "No wonder he was once known as the World's Strongest Man."
"Dad!!"
Just then, a furious roar suddenly came from the next room.
"We are your sons!"
The Whitebeard suddenly paused, taken aback.
He knew his son wasn't asking him to compromise, but rather—
Whitebeard closed his eyes in pain, and he also kept his mouth shut, not uttering a single word.
"... asshole!"
CP0 growled angrily, then glared at Whitebeard before leaving the cell.
He realized that there was no way to get the Whitebeard man to talk and find out where the stone was.
In that case, we'll have to ask for instructions from above.
On the Wano Country side.
The Uranus has undergone another evolution, and is only one step away from complete maturity.
Then, around that time, news of Tesoro arrived.
"The Beasts Pirates have been spotted."
