Engagement, Those Eager to Join the War

What a pathetic dream!

Sirius couldn't contain himself and burst into laughter.

Because I heard the same words eighteen years ago, when I myself loudly proclaimed my dream.

"Teacher Kaido, shouldn't people's dreams be respected and ridiculed?" Sirius laughed, almost out of breath.

"Hehehehe!"

Kaido also burst into laughter.

Eighteen years ago, Sirius gave him the same answer; the kid hasn't changed at all over the years.

The only difference is that now, no one can laugh at this kid's dream.

I can no longer say those words from back then.

Sirius still remembers that Teacher Kaido's answer at that time was that the sea is infinitely vast and can accommodate any dream. As long as it does not go against his will, he can cause all sorts of chaos.

The seeds of struggle were sown from that time onward.

The two of them burst into laughter.

The people around were all confused, but Yamato just chuckled foolishly along with them.

"What's wrong with these two?" Kid looked completely bewildered. "What are they laughing about all of a sudden?"

Ace guessed, "She must have remembered something interesting, right?"

Kid rolled his eyes.

Nonsense, who would laugh so loudly unless they were thinking of something happy?

Does this count as reconciliation with Teacher Kaido?

Sirius thought this as he laughed.

After all, there's no deep-seated hatred between us, and there's no need to be on the verge of conflict every time we meet, right?

After all, these teachers played an indelible role in my growth, so it's best to get along well with them.

Teacher Kaido must have come to terms with it by now, right?

I think so, right?

Queen's expression also showed some relief; he even pretended to wipe his eyes. "Finally, you're back to normal? That's so reassuring."

The eyelid beneath the mask of the man in the mask twitched. What did he mean by "reconciliation"? When had they ever been on good terms?

However, putting an end to past grievances is a good thing for both sides.

Then everyone heard Kaido laugh and say, "The Wano Country matter is settled, but Sirius..."

He glanced at his resentful daughter again, "Yamato you, you stupid girl Yamato, don't think I'm giving up so easily. One day, I'll show you who's the strongest!"

Sirius rolled his eyes. How dare a defeated general be so arrogant? No wonder he's Teacher Kaido, who's experienced a string of defeats in his life.

"Bring it on, Father!" Compared to Sirius's helplessness, Yamato's reaction was much more positive. She solemnly declared, "Sirius and I will not lose to anyone!"

"Hehehehe!"

Kaido laughed heartily, casting an admiring glance at his daughter for the first time.

Although she's a bit of a fool, she's also a lucky one. She met the perfect person for her, gained extraordinary power, and is still on the path to realizing her dreams.

This girl is lucky.

"So, Sirius," Kaido then asked Sirius, "When are you planning to get married?"

Fine cracks appeared on the wine glass in Sirius's hand. He seriously doubted whether he had misheard. When did Teacher Kaido become an elder urging marriage?

The expressions on the faces of those around him were rather strange.

King hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped. "Mr. Kaido, this isn't your character design."

Does Father think so too?

Yamato possesses an exceptionally high level of insensitivity, meaning she is the opposite of being sensitive and has the ability to ignore the emotions of those around her. She pouted and said resentfully, "Sirius always says he wants to enjoy a few more years of dating."

Kaido glared at Sirius and said, "Hey kid, what do you mean by this?"

Although he had been with countless women, he certainly wouldn't allow Sirius to treat Yamato that way.

Even an idiot daughter is still a daughter.

Sirius's lips twitched, and he put down his wine glass. "It's settled. We'll settle it once we defeat Imu."

The father is pressuring the daughter to get married; what can the son-in-law do?

Without hesitation, I set a goal.

"Yay! That's great!"

Yamato snuggled against Sirius, rubbing against him, "Finally, I'm going to marry Sirius!"

Maria couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Congratulations, Yamato! One of your childhood wishes is about to come true."

The crew members weren't surprised. Sirius and Yamato had been seriously dating for four years, and their ambiguous relationship had lasted throughout their youth. So, they felt it was perfectly normal for them to get married on the spot now.

"Getting married? That's wonderful!"

Ace laughed heartily, "Don't forget to invite me to your wedding, Sirius!"

However, not everyone offered their sincere blessings. Kid scoffed, "Tsk, marriage? What a boring thing!"

Marriage? Family?

These are all the opposites of adventure!

What? You're saying Sirius and Yamato are an adventurous couple?

Forehead--

"Kid, just say less." Even Kid couldn't stand Killer's lack of emotional intelligence; all he needed to do now was offer his blessings, right?

Kid grunted twice.

"A battle with Imu?"

Kaido's expression immediately lit up with excitement. "Interesting! You came back specifically for this, Sirius!"

"That's just one of the purposes,"

With one hand held by Yamato, Sirius had to put down his wine glass with his other hand to grab food. As he wolfed down his food, he mumbled, "The more important goal, of course, is to find Laugh Tale. Now all that's missing is the stone in Whitebeard's hand."

"You've already got three stones?"

Kaido shocked.

Everyone thought Sirius only had two stones!

Kid and Ace were also incredulous. "Doesn't this mean that if the Navy hadn't just happened to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, you would have already collected all four stones?"

The navy really did a good thing.

"But now that the stone is in Imu's hands, it won't be an easy task to take it back."

"Jin said in a deep voice."

Having personally experienced the Battle of Beehive Island, he knew just how terrifying that Imu was.

"So now Sirius is also having a headache," Yamato said.

"Imu?"

Ace and Kid looked completely bewildered.

A name I've never heard of before.

"However, preparations for the final battle are already in full swing."

Sirius smiled and said, "Whether or not we can find Laugh Tale ahead of schedule, the final battle is fast approaching."

"A decisive battle?"

Teacher Kaido's eyes lit up instantly. "Hehehehe! That sounds really interesting! How could I be left out! Sirius, I'm joining the battle too!"

"How dare he ignore me! That bastard, I'll never let him get away with this!"

Sirius smirked. "When you fled in such a sorry state four years ago, and when you disappeared without a trace four years ago, you didn't seem to have this attitude, Teacher Kaido."

"That sounds really interesting!"

Ace shouted, "Then let me join in the fun!"

Kid gritted his teeth, secretly cursing himself for being a step too slow compared to that fiery bastard, "And me!"

Sirius had a headache.

So, their team has indeed expanded again, right?
