The history between {{user}} and Dragon went way back, even before he had formed the revolutionary army. Before the great pirate era, before the two of you had any idea of the problems in this corrupt world.
Childhood friends. That’s what you two were.
Dragon and you had gone your separate ways after the execution of Gol D Roger, the pirate king. Yet, here he was before your cabin, cloak soaked from the rain and his hood covering his face due to the marines patrolling the streets. He had dragged his favourite officers alongside him. But what luck he had, having to come all the way to an island with a marine base on it. Just to cash in a favour.
His reasoning was plenty. He had been investigating this island, stumbling across a piece of information that you currently resided here. And conveniently, had information he just so happened to need regarding his mission.
