One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 221 An Invitation from Beehive Island

New world, Beehive Island.

Moby Dick.

Thatch's murder by Blackbeard created a tense atmosphere within the Whitebeard Pirates for a long time, until recently when a turning point occurred.

The team leaders formed a circle, cradle the baby whose head resembled a pineapple, and held the baby in their hands, their hearts melting.

"so cute!"

"Look, he's smiling!"

I want to hug him!

"You idiot, you're so careless, you'll hurt him!"

"I want to adopt Marco as my godson!"

"I also want!"

The team leaders, their faces flushed, began arguing about who should be the second and third fathers, and soon started fighting, neither willing to give in.

The birth of the little guy was of great significance to the entire Whitebeard Pirates; even Whitebeard himself secretly wiped away a tear.

Marco picked up the child and came to Whitebeard, happily asking, "Father, please name this child."

"Name, Maku la la la."

Whitebeard thought for a moment, then smiled and made the suggestion.

"Panapuru, how is it?"

"Great name!"

Marco looked at the child in his arms, reached out and scratched his face: "From now on, your name will be Pinapuru!"

"Wow~~"

The little guy was amused and laughed heartily.

Marco's heart was filled with happiness, and he said excitedly, "Dad, I want to invite Goode to Little Pru's birthday party!"

"Kuralalala, whatever you want."

The white-bearded man smiled and waved his hand, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction as he watched his son have his own family and children.

He hesitated.

"Marco, let me hold my grandson."

"."

On the other side, Hoenn Fortress.

"Fragrant feet!"

"Thunder gossip!"

The two women fight every day.

Goode sat on the windowsill, watching the two women fighting fiercely below, but his mind was not on them.

"We need to prepare a gift."

He received a message from Marco.

Just then, he was looking for an excuse to go to Beehive Island.

Among the underground forces in the New World, the Whitebeard Pirates have the largest territory, mainly thanks to the dozens of captains under their command.

Whiteybe, Dorma, and Little Oz.
Many of these captains were already established figures, capable of rivaling vice admirals in the Navy Headquarters, and each captain had his own territory.

In fact, their mid-level combat strength is greater than his side's.

With Marco's child born, the captains will surely go to celebrate, and they'll get to meet and increase their intimacy level.

The time is ripe, and Straw Hat Luffy has entered the Grand Line. He will arrive at Sabaody Archipelago soon.

Once Ace is captured, we can confront Whitebeard.

"And this brat."

Goode produced a bounty poster.

Cavendish, nicknamed "White Horse," is a supernova who entered the New World last year and currently has a bounty of 210 million Berries.

This kid is currently on Beehive Island. Not long ago, a resident who was chasing him attacked him with a knife outside the gate when he fled to Hoenn Community. He was stopped by the guards before leaving.

They're smart enough to just teach them a lesson.

Chikara reported, "Lord Goode, the legion commanders have all arrived."

"Ah."

Goode nodded slightly and went to the conference room next door, where 10 newly selected legion commanders were sitting.

Six men and four women.

Ran, from the Kuja Army, was originally a member of the Kuja Pirates. She has a relatively stable personality and is responsible for leading the Kuja warriors.

Karula, a member of the Mink Tribe, is a rare white-haired woman with blue stripes on her body. She has mastered the Sulong form.

Reiju, a member of the Science Unit and a princess of the Germa Kingdom, is surprisingly generous to Judge, who recommends his daughter to join his ranks.

Talia, a female knight from the Kingdom of Rune, is a member of the Radiant Knights. She possesses the Zoan-type Inu Inu Fruit in Arctic Wolf form. The remaining six men are warriors selected from unaffiliated middle schools; each is tall, robust, and quite strong.

Giants are not included; they belong to the elite combat force.

Everyone stood up to greet them.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief!"

"Well, everyone, sit down."

Goode nodded slightly and looked around.

The Hoenn government is limited in size and cannot yet have as many military ranks as the navy, such as admiral and vice admiral.

Currently, there are only ten legions, totaling less than 10,000 people. Each legion has a commander and deputy commander, as well as numerous squad leaders.

As for the beasts, they are all unruly pirates. They can only help out temporarily, not in the long run. His Hoenn government needs to establish its own army.

The more troublesome issue is loyalty.

Apart from the Nine Serpents and the Giants, the other legions had very low loyalty and even hated him, after all, he had slaughtered them all.

After discussing trivial matters for a while, Goode gave the order.

"Get ready, come with me to sea."

"Yes!"

Soon, Groudon entered the New World.

Meanwhile, in the West Sea.

A certain winter island.

Red-Haired Pirates' temporary base.

Freed from the constraints of being called one of the "Four Emperors," the Red-Haired Pirates embarked on another round-the-world trip, visiting many regions they had never been before.

The shadow of failure has dissipated, replaced by ease, which has allowed them to rediscover their former joy.

Hongo brought the intelligence and passed it on to Shanks.

"Boss, Blackbeard last appeared in Drum Kingdom on the Grand Line."

"Thanks, Honjō."

Shanks received the intelligence.

While traveling, they were also searching for the whereabouts of the Blackbeard Pirates, but each time they were a step too late.

The beasts, Whitebeard, and them.

Everyone is looking for Blackbeard.

Blackbeard was well aware of his situation and, while searching for companions, never stayed in one place for too long.

To make matters worse, he learned that Ace was hunting down Blackbeard alone.

Although Ace was very strong, he was too young after all, and in his judgment, Ace was definitely no match for Blackbeard.

If Ace is defeated, given Blackbeard's long-hidden ambitions, he will definitely use Ace as a pretext to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates.

In that case, the already turbulent world will become even more chaotic, and once the New World loses Whitebeard, the beasts will have no more scruples.

Shanks summoned his companions.

"I'm going to see a white-bearded man!"

"To the New World?"

The cadres exchanged glances and frowned.

This is not good news.

Yasopp said in a deep voice, "Boss, you know what returning to the New World means. With our current strength, I'm afraid..."

“I understand, but I have to go.”

Shanks made his decision, looked at his worried companions, and laughed heartily.

"Don't worry so much. Marco has a child now. We're just celebrating as friends. Even if the Earth Disaster has something to say, it's not like we're going to start a war on Whitebeard's territory."

"That's true."

The officials sighed helplessly.

Their biggest obstacle to returning to the New World wasn't Kaido, but the powerful Earth Disaster, who was even more troublesome than Kaido.

This time, Whitebeard is the host, so even if the Earth Disasters are arrogant, they have to give Whitebeard face and at least won't cause trouble on Beehive Island.

But that may not be the case afterward.

"Now that we've made up our minds, let's set off!"

Shanks smiled and said, "Perfect timing. I was thinking of stopping by the small garden to meet two friends. With their help, things should go more smoothly."

"Understood, Captain!"

"start sailing!"
