One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 166 Welcoming Lord Goode Back!

The next day, morning.

The Red-Haired Pirates arrive in Elbaf.

"We're too late!"

Seeing the Giant Village reduced to ashes, the cadres felt immense pressure; the calamity's retribution had come so swiftly.

What surprised them even more was that the giants were not consumed by hatred; instead, they were enthusiastically rebuilding their village.

In the center of the village, a building of unusually high specifications is under construction, and its shape seems to resemble an arena.

Shanks found Saul.

"Sauro, what are you doing?"

"We're building an arena!"

"I can tell you that I want to ask why we need to build an arena."

"this."

Sauro scratched his head, unsure how to explain.

Elbaf was nearly destroyed, and even the children were clamoring to become warriors, let alone the adults.

They don't want to experience the same crisis a second time.

After deliberation among the elders, the village did not completely abandon King Harald's policies, but it also could not ignore the traditions of the past.

After learning the details, the Red-Haired Pirates returned to their ship, and everyone looked rather grim.

"I never expected it to be like this."

"That calamity Gude is even more troublesome than expected!"

"And Loki, he'll definitely take his revenge on us next!"

Clearly, Goode earned the respect of the giants through this war, and even Prince Hajrudin served him.

This is definitely not a good thing for them.

The Beasts Pirates' violent style makes them sworn enemies, and a major battle between the two sides is inevitable sooner or later.

There's also the troublesome Loki.

Shanks frowned: "Hongo, investigate Loki's whereabouts immediately. Loki's power is too great; we cannot let him act recklessly!"

"clear."

Benji nodded in understanding and pressed for further details.

What about Goode?

"Just keep an eye on it."

Shanks shook his head.

Goode is one of the Beasts, which is the most troublesome part. If war breaks out, it will be a full-scale war between them and the Beasts.

Now is not the time to start a war.

the other side.

The Groudon and the Giant Warrior Pirates are on their way to Wano Country.

On the deck, the little giant, who had sneaked in, was hanging from the mast, struggling fiercely, showing no sign of giving up.

"I won't say anything until I see Mr. Goode!"

"so cute."

Yamato poked the little giant's face, and it was she who sensed something was wrong and pulled the little giant out of the cabin.

The reason is simple: the snacks she had secretly hidden were stolen!
Goode soon arrived on the deck.
The little giant's eyes lit up when he saw Goode.

"Good Boss!"

"Cologne?"

Goode was somewhat taken aback.

He remembered the child; among the giant children, this little fellow was the most spirited, leaving a deep impression on him.

"Yamato, put him down."

"Oh!"

Once the ropes were untied, Cologne immediately ran to Goode, excitedly saying, "Boss Goode, please let me work for you!"

"you?"

Good almost burst out laughing.

"Okay!"

"Eh? Really?"

Cologne's eyes widened in surprise.

He thought he would be rejected. Shanks had refused to let him board the ship more than once, and the officers would laugh at him for being a child.

Goode subconsciously raised his hand to touch Cologne's head, but found that he couldn't reach it. Although he was still a child, he was already eight or nine meters tall.

"Cologne, where are your parents? Do they know you've gone to sea?"

"I sneaked onto the ship."

Cologne answered sheepishly. He had secretly climbed onto the pirate ship and hidden in the cabin while the adults were busy with the funeral.

"He really is a brat."

Goode nodded helplessly.

"You can stay on the ship as an intern."

"Yes, Captain!"

Cologne was overjoyed.

He is now a true warrior!

Goode smiled and asked, "Cologne, who are your parents? I need to let them know, otherwise they'll worry about you."

“My mother’s name is Lipri, and my father is a human who used to be a pirate. His name is Jabba.”

Cologne was completely unaware of the problem.

Jabba?

Goode blinked, bewildered.

Ah? ? ?
This little guy is the half-human, half-giant, and that man is Jabba the Great?!

Goode was speechless.

He was initially puzzled as to why Jabba would appear in Elbaf, but he never considered that possibility, since there were quite a few humans living in the underworld below.

Wow, how did they do that?
Good glanced at Halding's ship.

In his beastman form, he's seven or eight meters tall, enough to barely drive a large vehicle, but Jabba isn't that big, he's not a Devil Fruit user, and I've never heard of Jabba having the ability to grow bigger.

How awesome!

So, does that mean this child will be very capable in the future?
Goode smiled and encouraged him, "Cologne, keep up the good work! Once you're even better, I'll promote you to a leadership position!"

"Huh?! I'll try my best!"

The little guy's eyes lit up, and he was completely swayed and full of enthusiasm.

After sailing for several more days, the Groudon finally arrived in Wano Country, and news of Groudon's return quickly spread throughout Onigashima.

"Move quickly!"

The pirates excitedly surged toward the port.

Several months later, Lord Good once again shocked the world. Even those on Ghost Island couldn't help but stand tall when they saw the news.

Lord Goode is their pride!
"Line up!!!"

The pirates stood on both sides, and a red carpet was even laid out on the path left in the middle, making the welcoming ceremony more and more grand each time.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the Groudon entered the port, cannons fired into the sky, creating bursts of dazzling fireworks.

Even Kaido, the boss, didn't receive such treatment when he returned from his travels!
Goode and his men disembarked, and looking at the rather extravagant welcoming procession ahead, they didn't know what to say.

Apart from the core members, it's estimated that all the pirates from Onigashima have come.

"Welcome back, Lord Goode!"

The pirates standing on both sides of the road bent over, forming an arch bridge with their arms, looking as excited as if they were welcoming their idol.

No, it's welcoming idols!
Now, in the hearts of these thugs, Lord Good's status is almost on par with Kaido, and they are even discussing in private whether King or Good is the vice-captain of the Beasts Pirates.

In the minds of pirates, the second-in-command of each pirate crew is basically the one with the highest bounty besides the captain.

Goode's bounty far exceeds that of the other three top captains, so there is absolutely no problem with Goode serving as the first mate.

The pirates looked at Good, tears streaming down their faces.

"Look at Lord Goode's perfectly sculpted muscles!"

"Wow, it's so dazzling!"

"My eyes, my eyes!"

"It is such an honor to see Lord Goode up close! I want to join Lord Goode's fan club!"

"Haha, I'm already a member!"

Goode's face gradually darkened.

What exactly is a fan club fitness group?

Also, can these bastards stop staring at him and drooling? It's disgusting. He only likes beautiful women with curves!

"Bravo!"

Haildin and his companions also disembarked. They were taken aback by Goode's immense popularity, which further elevated their understanding of Goode.

This is the stronghold of the Four Emperors, and there are countless powerful individuals here!
"Huh? A giant?!"

Only then did the pirates notice the four enormous giants, and they were all dumbfounded.

"Could it be that Lord Goode has conquered the mighty giant?"

"I had heard before that Lord Goode went to Elbaf. It's amazing! Even the giants are captivated by Lord Goode's charm!"

Good! Good! Good!!!

Shouts echoed across Ghost Island!
