A Conversation with Kuma

"Did you know Luffy was Dragon's son?"

After a moment of silence, Kuma spoke. According to Dragon, aside from the Navy's highest ranks, almost no one knew this information.

Ryan nodded after hearing that and said after a brief pause, "Yes. Through certain channels, I happened to learn of it. To be honest, when I first approached Luffy, part of it was because I wanted to use him to get in touch with Dragon. But now, Luffy has earned my recognition..."
