Talk With Dragon

Roger's last words made people even more passionate about becoming pirates. Many people flocked to the sea in search of the treasure.

This incident caught the world's marines and governments off guard. With Roger's death, public interest in piracy declined. But they didn't expect Roger to talk like that in the last moments of his life.

As Roger's execution was broadcast across the ocean, tensions over the seas escalated.

And thus began the era of the great pirates.

...

Carl looked towards the sea. The masses were flocking to the sea to search for the treasure.

Suddenly, someone approached Carl who was observing the scene. The person was wearing cloth that covered their body and face. Carl didn't need to ask who the person was because he already knew their identity.

Dragon, Garp's son and Luffy's father, was also the leader of the revolutionary group in the future. But Carl didn't know whether he had already formed the revolutionary group at this point.

"The times are changing, aren't they," Dragon said next to him while looking at the scenery ahead.

"Yes, pirates will become more numerous. Especially with Roger's last words," Carl replied.

"One Piece, the greatest treasure of the sea. What is it?" asked Carl.

"I don't know, but what's certain is that the World Government doesn't want us to know," Roger said.

After some small talk, Carl finally asked the question that had been on his mind since earlier.

"Why did you come to see me, Dragon?" Carl asked.

Dragon wasn't surprised; he knew Carl's identity. So he answered calmly.

"It's impressive that Mr. CJ could figure out my identity. I want to propose cooperation between Los Santos and my group."

Carl didn't immediately respond but pondered for a moment.

'So he has already started forming the revolutionary group. But it seems he hasn't revealed that to the general public yet.'

"Let's discuss this elsewhere," Carl said.

Dragon nodded and followed Carl.

...

"So, what do you want to discuss?" Carl said. He and Dragon were now in an empty bar. As for the bartender? He had already passed out from Dragon's Haoshoku.

"I want many of your weapons. Your weapons are already very famous, and even the World Government has its eyes on them," Dragon said.

"That can be arranged, as long as you pay," Carl replied.

Before he could respond, Carl interrupted him.

"Also, I don't care about your revolutionary nonsense. So don't expect my guard group to join your movement."

Hearing this, Dragon's eyes widened in surprise.

'How did he know? Is there a traitor?'

So Dragon thought it best to eliminate the person in front of him to keep his activities secret.

Carl saw Dragon in front of him suddenly disappear, and he sensed his presence behind him.

Carl just sighed and quickly dodged.

'Monkey D. Dragon'

Strength: S (II)

Haki: Armament (HII) Observation (HI) Conqueror's (HII)

Seeing the assessment statistics, Carl could only sigh. Especially with his Haki assessment.

Although Dragon was still very young, his strength was already at that level.

But that doesn't mean Carl hasn't been training during this time.

Because Carl had training buffs, he could increase his strength very quickly.

From previously being at B (I), now he was at S.

'Carl'

Strength: S

Haki: Armament (MII) Observation (MIII) Conqueror's (unlock)

Weapons: M4, katana

Although statistically Dragon and Carl weren't far apart, in terms of combat experience, Carl would lose.

So he better end this confrontation before it gets worse.

"Stop, Dragon. I don't want to fight you. Besides, I'm the one who decides about your weapons," Carl said.

Hearing that, Dragon began to calm himself.

As Dragon was still young at the moment, he couldn't think clearly. Different from the future where he would be more composed.
