When Dragon arrived at the cinema, a sizable crowd had already gathered.
"There must be thousands of people here. Li Fan's movie is really popular."
"Can the cinema accommodate so many people?" Dragon wondered but decided to follow the crowd into the cinema.
Upon seeing the large screen, Dragon realized his previous worries were unnecessary.
"It's not projected by phone bugs, but by this kind of technological screen."
"Does this Li Fan have some level of high-tech?" Dragon shook his head, following the numbered signs to locate his seat.
At two o'clock, the movie started on time, revealing the wonders of high-tech light and shadow technology.
The movie captivated Dragon, a veteran on the battlefield, and he couldn't help but think, "If people could see a movie like this, they would definitely be very happy."
"It's a pity that Ivankov and the others couldn't come with them."
"They will definitely like a movie like this."
As the film concluded after several hours, Dragon stood up and joined the exiting crowd.
"Look, that's Director Li Fan."
"Wow, so handsome!"
"He is so good-looking and talented. I really want to have an unforgettable relationship with him."
"Forget it. Look, there are already three girls around him."
Several young and beautiful girls chatted outside the cinema, glancing towards Li Fan, Nami, and Nojiko engaged in conversation.
Behind Li Fan, Medusa stood quietly, causing the women to feel a bit embarrassed and hesitant to approach.
"Is that Li Fan?" Dragon's mouth curled up, and he slowly walked towards Li Fan.
"Hello, Director Li Fan," Dragon's voice interrupted Li Fan's conversation with Nami.
"Excuse me, what brings you here?" Li Fan inquired, finding the man in front of him strangely familiar.
"Well, Director Li Fan, I just watched your movie and thought it was fantastic. I'd like to get your autograph," Dragon expressed, a hint of admiration on his face.
"Autograph?" Nami raised an eyebrow. "A hooded man seeking an autograph seems suspicious, Li Fan. Let's just ignore him."
"Suspicious? True," Li Fan casually signed the paper Dragon handed over. "After all, he's from the Revolutionary Army. On an island with a naval base, he should dress like this."
"Revolutionary Army?!" Nami and Dragon were taken aback.
'I probably didn't let him see my face earlier. How did he recognize me?' Dragon frowned, subtly clenching his fists, creating an invisible swirl of wind around him.
Observing from behind Li Fan, Medusa focused her gaze on Dragon.
"But whether you're from the Revolutionary Army or not doesn't matter. To me, you're just an audience," Li Fan remarked, touching his chin. "I'm curious, though. What do you want from me?"
Li Fan's words caused the wind around Dragon to falter and then quickly disperse.
"Haha, I just want to see up close what a person who can create such a movie looks like."
"And I'm quite intrigued by the fact that you defeated the greatest swordsman in the world."
Long spoke with a smile.
"It wasn't me who defeated Mihawk; it was Medusa behind me." Li Fan raised his thumb, gesturing to Medusa.
"Hey, is this the lady?" Dragon turned to look at Medusa.
"As our distinguished guest from the Revolutionary Army has observed. Is there anything else?"
"Nothing," Dragon shook his head. "I'm just a little curious about you. After getting to know you, I plan to leave loguetown."
"Li Fan, there you are." Tashigi's voice came from the side as she approached.
She ran to Li Fan, giving dragon a strange look.
"Li Fan, is he an acquaintance of yours?"
"Hmm... I'd say he's familiar, but not quite. I only saw him in the wanted poster."
"Wanted poster?! Is this guy a pirate?" Tashigi quickly drew her knife, warily facing dragon.
"No, he is the leader of Revolutionary Army."
"Dragon?!" Tashigi's eyes widened, and she immediately pulled out her knife. "Why would a dragon appear in Loguetown?"
