One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 215 10 Army

Mushroom Tavern.

"Ha! Ha! Hey ho!"

In the open kitchen, the burly head chef, wielding two spatulas, was performing his haphazard cooking techniques with exaggerated gestures.

Soon, the last serving of garlic mushroom chicken breast was ready.

"Please wait!"

The head chef turned back with astonishing speed, his arm bent upwards, his fingertips pinching up some salt and sprinkling it evenly over the mushrooms.

"Guest, please use it slowly."

"."

A series of black lines slid down Goode's forehead.

Where did Salt Bae come from?!

"Gu-chan, you have to try this, it's super delicious!"

Runti couldn't help but urge her on, then glared fiercely at Hancock beside her: "I didn't invite you to dinner, you can only eat a little bit!"

"I will pay the bill myself!"

Hankku gave him a cold look.

Good shook his head, forked a piece of mushroom and put it in his mouth. His previously nonchalant expression instantly changed.

"good to eat!"

Runti immediately nodded in agreement.

"It's super delicious!"

"It's definitely delicious."

Goode was very surprised.

It was an ordinary tavern, but the food was surprisingly delicious, especially the mushrooms, which were even more flavorful than the meat.

However, apart from the final salting, the cooking process seemed quite ordinary, even somewhat rough.

If you let Qika cook it, it will definitely be even more delicious.

Runti explained, "The mushrooms in this town are ten times more delicious than those on other islands. I was so surprised when I first arrived!"

"Ingredients, you know."

Goode nodded in understanding.

There is a similar broccoli island in the New World, where the broccoli produced is quite delicious, but due to a lack of transportation facilities, it can only be circulated locally.

Such high-quality mushrooms would probably fetch ten or a hundred times more if transported to islands like Sabaody Archipelago, but they can't even be sold for the price of cabbage in this small town.

The world is not actually lacking in resources. Many islands have high-quality specialties, but they are limited by their environment, which leads to poverty and backwardness.

To be rich, build roads first!
The nation of laborers has already provided the answer.

During the meal, Runti recounted the current state of the Rune Kingdom.

Besides the troublesome revolutionary army, the nearly 100,000 troops of the Kingdom of Rune are also a big problem. If they were all killed, it would inevitably cause a serious impact on the country.

They are all laborers.

If it weren't for the labor force, Runti would have already led her troops into battle. Even if the enemy had more troops, it would only be a nuisance.

Besides ordinary soldiers, she also has a five-man giant squad, which is enough to make up for the difference in troop strength.

"I understand."

Goode nodded, a smile playing on his lips.

"Xiao Pei, go to the palace and tell the king to surrender immediately, otherwise, three days from now, the army of beasts will raze the royal city to the ground!"

"Yes."

Page One turned and left without hesitation or asking any questions; the strong should be taciturn.

Runti asked in confusion, "Gu-chan, won't this cause too many casualties?"

"It's ok."

Good waved his hand.

With Runti leading the army, it would be difficult to achieve a quick victory against a major power, and it would easily turn into a protracted war, with both sides suffering heavy losses.

But even the commander-in-chief came.

A mere 10 troops can be wiped out in an instant!
Night falls, at the royal palace.

"Too deceiving!"

The soldiers and captains were filled with righteous indignation.

The constant provocations from pirates had long enraged them. This country had finally achieved a new beginning, but now it faced the possibility of being destroyed again.

"Your Majesty, let's go to war with the pirates!"

"We must never compromise with pirates!"

"This country can no longer become a paradise for villains!" The army commanders volunteered to fight.

The king remained silent for a long time.

"Prepare for war!"

"Yes!"

After the army commander left, the king changed into civilian clothes and rode his horse secretly out of the city under the cover of night.

The army commanders were all soldiers who had started the revolution with him. Although they were brave, they were, after all, from the lower classes and their experience was ultimately limited.

The moment the beasts appeared, he understood that the kingdom's power was insufficient to defeat them; only the Revolutionary Army could save them now.

Soon, the king arrived alone at the revolutionary army's stronghold.

“Mr. Raven, Mr. Sabo.”

"Celtic?"

Upon seeing their former comrades, the current King of Rune, arrive, the members of the Revolutionary Army immediately realized that something was wrong.

Sabo asked anxiously, "Celtics, has something happened?"

"This afternoon."

The Celts informed the beasts of their declaration of war, and the beasts gave them three days to assemble their armies.

Three days later, the final battle will take place in the wilderness outside the royal city.

"That dinosaur girl wouldn't do that."

Sabo's expression was extremely solemn.

When the beasts first arrived, they also adopted a decapitation tactic. The dinosaur woman led a group of powerful warriors to launch a surprise attack on the palace, but they failed.

If the other side truly wanted to wage a full-scale war, there would be no need to wait until this point in time, especially since the chances of victory are very low.

They have 100,000 soldiers, and they can fight even five giants. The giant race is not invincible.

This means one thing.

"The reinforcements from the beasts have arrived!"

Sabo was extremely anxious.

He didn't know who was coming, but he had to prepare for the worst; if it was that calamity-stricken Goode, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"."

A sound so faint it was almost imperceptible.

Everyone looked at the crow at the same time. The crow's forehead was covered with veins, and its eyes were fierce. It was obviously angry.

Kella reminded him, "Mr. Raven, your loudspeaker is not on."

"???"

The crow looked greatly alarmed.

He speaks very softly and needs a megaphone to communicate properly. He had been talking for a long time but no one responded, so he was very angry.

The loudspeaker wasn't turned on!
After a flurry of activity, the crow finally turned on the loudspeaker, breathed a sigh of relief, and regained its composure.

"Sorry, everyone."

"No matter who comes from the beasts, I will be their opponent!"

"."

Oh, so that's what it was about.

Everyone's head is full of black lines.

Now that things have come to this, the only option is to wage war against the beasts. The Rune Kingdom is the fruit of the revolution, and we must not let it fall into the hands of pirates.

Time passed in a somber atmosphere.

Three days later, on the outskirts of the royal city.

Banners fluttered, and morale was high.

A total of 100,000 troops gathered here, including many elites, especially the Radiant Knights led by the Celtic King himself.

There were a total of one hundred knights, each of whom was an elite warrior capable of taking on a hundred men, and many of them were of noble birth.

The soldiers looked at the king with eyes full of admiration.

The Celtic king was originally the kingdom's chief knight and the leader of the Radiant Knights. He was impeccable in every aspect, including physique, personality, appearance, and martial arts skills.

Unable to tolerate the tyranny of the previous king, His Majesty the Celts led his knights in a revolution.

The soldiers were absolutely convinced that, under His Majesty Celt's leadership, they would triumph no matter how powerful the enemy they faced!
Soon, the enemy army appeared!

The giants' enormous size put immense pressure on the soldiers, but to everyone's astonishment, the enemy did not send out any giants.

In the enemy's ranks, an incredibly burly, bald man stepped out alone and came before the army.

"Your only opponent is me!"
