Dragon was standing in front of Katahara. Both were staring at each other, tension was in the air.
Katahara: What brings the supreme commander of the Revolutionary Army here... along with 2 admirals of the Navy?
Dragon: We come with a diplomatic mission...
Katahara: And I suppose bringing 2 admirals with you would help to dissuade me.
All marines had a strange feeling about Katahara, with his new eyes, he gave them a sinister sense.
Katahara: I'm someone who prefers diplomacy over violence... resolving things with words rather than fists...
Dragon: You're good at acting, aren't you... Why don't we sit down in a comfortable place to talk.
At that moment, a new fleet arrived at the scene, it was the World Government's fleet, where the best agents of CP0 were present.
Dragon: It seems we weren't the only ones with the same idea... Kuzan.
Kuzan only took a second.
While disappearing from the scene.
Katahara: Dabi...
Kuzan: Ice Block: Pheasant Beak.
Kuzan launched a large mass of ice that took the form of the Pheasant, while flying towards the World Government fleet.
Dabi: Incandescent Fist.
A huge blue flame intercepted and completely consumed Kuzan's ice Pheasant.
While both attacks collided, Dragon and Katahara remained standing in front.
Katahara: No fights are allowed within my territory...
Dragon just looked at Katahara.
Katahara: If you want to start a battle, we'll be your opponents...
Dragon reflected for a few seconds.
Dragon: As you wish... Kuzan, come back, we'll take care of them later.
Katahara: Then let's disembark, and we can talk comfortably... Laffitte, guide CP0.
The flagship of the navy disembarked, and only 3 people got off the warship.
A small salon was set up in the middle of the beach in a matter of minutes.
As the marines took their seats, 5 people arrived to sit next to Katahara, of whom they only recognized 2.
Vismoke Reiju, Sonkire Ragnar, Hitsugisukan, Boa Hancock, and the new member Kozuki Hiyori.
Katahara: If you're wondering who they are...they're known as the High Lords...they have almost the same authority as me in this place.
Dragon: Nice to meet you...so I'd like to start...
At that moment, the World Government delegation arrived, 5 members of the CP0, wearing all-white suits, led by Rob Lucci.
Rob Lucci: Nice to meet you, King Crow Katahara. The reason for our visit is...
Katahara: You have the same objective as the Navy...so take a seat...
The CP0 took their seats parallel to the Navy.
Katahara: Now, why should I join your war when I can slowly and steadily increase my power...or rather, what do you offer me to join the war?
Dragon was already expecting this, and he had his cards.
Dragon: Pardon for your entire crew, all their crimes will be forgiven, each and every one of them...and we'll also recognize your sovereignty over your own territory, so you can govern it as you please...
Katahara: Who would be so foolish as to deny my sovereignty within Wano and all its adjacent islands...I allow you to step onto my territory because you have something to offer...let's see what the World Government has to say.
Rob Lucci: We offer not only a pardon, but also any of the four seas in the world to declare it as your territory with the blessing of the World Government. We'll recognize you as the King of your own kingdom and offer 500 ships full of treasures.
Dragon was surprised by such an explanation, he didn't expect the World Government to be so desperate for an ally.
Dragon: It seems that the World Government urgently needs a strong ally...Pardon, Sovereignty, and a position of rank equal to an admiral when the new government is declared...
Ragnar: Pardon is not something we're interested in.
Vinsmoke Reiju: Sovereignty within the territory, we have it by our own force, no one would mess with our people.
Katahara: Although, of course, taking over one of the four seas is more tempting.
Rob Lucci: The Gorosei is willing to meet with you, as long as you decide to accept the alliance, you'll have access to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and also to the Castle of Pangea, where you'll meet the Five Elders.
Katahara: They can surpass that...I don't think they can...
Dragon: That's all we can offer you...make your requests, as long as it's within our reach and reasonable, it will be done.
Katahara: Now we're talking...Reiju, hand him the documents.
Reiju pulled out a couple of papers and handed them to Dragon.
Katahara: I don't care about what they offered me, I just want what's in those documents...if you accept, then I'll march to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and turn it into the graveyard of the Celestial Dragons.
Dragon was shocked to read everything that was written in the documents.
Reiju handed over two completely different documents, one specific to Dragon and the other to the CP0.
Dragon: How do you know about URANUS... It cost us hundreds of thousands of lives to discover it.
Katahara: Decide.
While Dragon handed a specific document to Kuzan.
Dragon: 50 warships, filled to the brim with gold, along with another 20 ships filled with tons of other materials...
Ragnar: The cost of our recent war was too expensive, so to speak.
Dragon: Alright, the ships will arrive in 4 weeks, escorted by warships.
Kuzan: Are you kidding me? Asking for this is going too far...
Dragon: I can't give you our people... as for the seraphim...
Vinsmoke Reiju: All the seraphim and all the projects of the Special Science Group (SSG) written there...
Dragon: Done... as for Vegapunk's plans and designs, we'll convince him to hand them over... now as for these people, I can't give them to you.
Katahara: You should know I won't accept a halfway deal.
Kuzan: Handing over those children...
Katahara looked at Dragon.
Dragon: We can't give you any person.
Ragnar: They're just a few people, Dragon... tell me, do you think they can handle the consequences of not having my support...
Dragon was hesitating at such a decision.
Dragon: Alright... I'll have to have a long conversation with Ryu...
While massaging his head.
Katahara: So the Marines have another Yonko as an ally... Reiju, give me the document now.
