One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 218 Nine Clans Elimination Game

The top of the royal palace castle.

Bear held the Bible, facing the battlefield outside the city, gazing at Goode from afar. He knew he had been discovered.

He had been paying close attention to the situation in Beihai and had previously helped the revolutionary army on several occasions, but now he was powerless to do so and could only act secretly.

He had heard Stussy mention Goode and had long wanted to meet him, but when he actually met him, he felt fear.

This war resulted in countless deaths and injuries.

All of this was done by this man. There were clearly better ways, but he slaughtered without a care.

This was a little hard for him to accept.

"Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea".

The sound that reached his ears made the bear's body tremble, and he realized that the man from the battlefield had appeared not far away.

Big Bear turned around and looked at Goode, who was standing on the spire a dozen meters away. A girl was hanging on Goode's body.

It's the Teleportation Fruit!
The bear spoke calmly.

"If you travel, where would you like to go?"

"travel."

Goode thought about it seriously for a moment.

"The whole world."

"."

The bear remained silent.

Just as rumored, he is an extremely domineering man.

Goode stared at the bear, but quickly lost interest. He couldn't sense any fighting spirit in the bear's aura.

Yes, but it's cowardice.

And fear!

Huh?
Goode was suddenly startled.

When did he become able to sense other people's emotions? Although many powerful people's auras carry emotions, Big Bear's aura was very stable, and his emotions were well hidden.

She looks a bit like Queen Otohime.

Upon careful recollection, it seems that after arriving in Beihai, as his territory expanded, his domineering aura and ambition continued to grow.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

Perhaps one day, he too will be able to hear the voice of all things.

Good said coldly, "Get out of here. This is not a place for you. Also, send those idiots out of Beihai, or there will be no one to save them next time you see them."

"."

The bear remained silent for a long time before patting itself.

"Oh!"

The enormous body vanished, leaving only a small wisp of white mist.

Extremely powerful ability.

Unless Kuma fights to the death, there are almost no ways in this world to stop him. In terms of retreat alone, he is even easier to deal with than Kizaru.

Unfortunately, his abilities were misplaced.

Goode was quite disappointed and returned to the battlefield with Speed.

The remaining kingdom soldiers all laid down their weapons, their eyes glazed over; the power, comparable to that of a god, had completely shattered their morale and faith.

This is an existence that humans cannot contend with!
Goode arrived at the edge of the Great Rift Valley and, looking at the destruction he had so easily caused, couldn't help but think of Aokiji's Ice Age.

An area of ​​the sea was frozen for seven days!

A single wave of the hand from the strong is enough to plunge the weak into despair.

That's just how the world works.

"rise!"

Goode raised his palm!

The ground trembled, and large amounts of soil and rocks converged forward, forming a huge arch bridge above the great rift valley!

For aesthetic purposes, two giant Groudon dolls were stacked at each end of the arch bridge, standing like guardian deities protecting the bridge.

"A bit rough!"

Goode's gaze sharpened, and he clenched his fist.

The arch bridge and statue contracted and solidified, and were reshaped by the scorching heat, giving the surface an obsidian-like luster.

Reinforcement complete!

Our enemy is God!

The kingdom's soldiers all knelt down, their foreheads pressed against the ground.

Only God could create such a miracle.

With the kingdom's soldiers kneeling in worship, Goode led his men across the bridge toward the royal city.

The war is over.

Goode rode the king's white horse.

"Give the order to send those soldiers to rescue the survivors."

"Yes!" Tens of thousands of soldiers fell into the Great Rift Valley. Surely some lucky ones survived, and the bodies of other soldiers also need to be retrieved.

Even a small act of kindness can bring peace of mind.

Upon hearing the order, the kingdom's soldiers' fear dissipated considerably, and they became excited, even somewhat grateful.

"Find the tools!"

"Help!!"

“Hurry up!!!”

Ropes were lowered into the great rift valley as rescue soldiers anxiously slid down, searching for survivors and the bodies of their comrades.

Royal City, Central Avenue.

The once bustling streets were deserted; all the residents had retreated to their homes, peering out through cracks in doors and windows.

The Hoenn army advanced slowly and steadily in the center of the royal city. Their massive military might made it clear to the people that the country had once again changed hands.

Panic spread quickly.

The gates of the royal palace and castle are now open.

The guards and ministers knelt on the ground, daring not to offer the slightest resistance.

"Line up!"

The warriors immediately stepped forward, lined up, set up their spears bearing the banners of the beasts and Hoenn, and quickly laid out a red carpet.

Amidst the reverence of all the warriors, Goode stepped onto the Warriors' Avenue, walked step by step through the main gate of the palace into the palace hall, lifted his wide cloak, and turned to sit on the throne.

He leaned slightly forward, his right hand supporting his chin.

His disdainful gaze swept down upon those below.

"Greetings, Commander-in-Chief!!!"

The soldiers knelt on one knee and shouted Goode's new identity.

"Disaster" is what outsiders call him, but within the Hoenn Group, his title is Commander-in-Chief, which is the same as Kaido's title of Governor-General of the Beasts.

The New World is the world of pirates.

The North Sea will temporarily become the base of the Hoenn Empire.

Three days flew by.

The banners of Hoenn and the beasts were planted throughout all the cities of the Rune Kingdom, and any sporadic resistance was met with bloody suppression.

The kingdom has officially changed hands.

On that day, a victory banquet was held at the palace.

In a pleasant garden.

"Lord Goode, the overview of the Kingdom of Rune has been compiled."

"it is good."

Goode took the documents and looked them over.

Like most kingdoms, the Kingdom of Rune is a relatively traditional medieval country with many plains, an extremely favorable environment for farming, and an economy that relies on agriculture and foreign wars.

There are also typical pyramid-shaped power structures such as the church, lords, and knights, all of which exploit the common people at the bottom.

Such a country is clearly not suitable for the model of a labor-intensive nation, and its people will find it difficult to adapt to industrialization in a short period of time.

Moreover, due to the interference of the church, most of the people were illiterate and lacked sufficient cultural foundation.

They can't even tighten screws properly.

Similar to Wano Country, the Rune Kingdom is more suitable for acquiring land, collecting rent, and training troops; other aspects will have to be developed gradually.

Good quickly came up with a plan.

"Pass down the word: starting today, abolish the policies of fiefdoms and nobles, and reclaim all cultivated land!"

"Also, burn down the entire church!"

"My territory has no need for divine intervention."

The biggest problem with the feudal system was the issue of territory. Lords and nobles controlled large amounts of arable land and had a high degree of autonomy, allowing them to exploit their subordinates at every level.

Rent and taxes were siphoned off by the nobility at every level.

So how does he make money?

No middlemen!
All the land belongs to him!

The entire privileged class of the country only needs the ruler!

There's also the church, whose power is almost greater than that of the king, severely interfering with development; they didn't even come out to protect the country during the previous war.

They must all be wiped out!

Chika hesitated and whispered, "Lord Goode, doing this will definitely cause a great upheaval."

"Then sharpen the knife!"

Goode's gaze was icy.

"Kill one person if one resists, kill ten people if ten resist!"

"If any nobles are foolish enough to try and incite the people to protest, then their entire clan will be slaughtered!"

If you don't behave, then we'll play a game of "Nine Clans Elimination"!
"Also, take control of the port!"

"Set up a row of gallows at the port. If any nobles try to flee the country with their wealth, hang them all as a warning!"
