One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 223 can be described as arrogant, but not incompetent.
Marco stepped forward and gave Goode a big hug.

"Long time no see, Goode."

"Congratulations, Marco."

Goode smiled and offered his congratulations.

Marco, a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "I have to thank you. Without the Hoenn community, I wouldn't have met Sasha."

"This is your destiny."

Goode chuckled.

It was indeed him who secretly made the connection.

Although there was an element of calculation involved, the result was good; at least it left a descendant for the Whitebeard Pirates.

Huh, there's a murderous aura!
Goode turned his head in surprise.

The sharp blade pierced through, only a fist's distance from his eye.

"Qiang!"

Goode raised his hand and grabbed the blade!
"what?!"

Cavendish appeared before Goode, holding the famous sword Durandal in his hand. He stared at the blade that had been seized, utterly shocked.

This guy actually caught the sword he thrust out with all his might with his bare hands?!
"Hey, who are you?"

Good was quite dissatisfied. He originally wanted to break the sword that was thrust at him, but he couldn't bear to because of its beautiful appearance.

It's a Western sword, which is relatively rare.

It is very suitable as a collectible.

Goode looked at the attacker and the more he looked, the more familiar he seemed.

Gorgeous and crumbling!
"Hey, you're Cavendish?"

"Were you recognized?"

Cavendish sheathed his longsword, flaunted his long, wavy golden hair, and then pulled out a rose from somewhere and sniffed it.

"I never expected that despite my best efforts to disguise myself, I would still be recognized by my fans. That's right, I am Cavendish, the most popular and handsome man in the world!"

"."

Where did you pretend?
Good was speechless.

He was just about to settle scores with this kid when the other party came to him of his own accord.

They truly deserve the title of "supernovas"—they're all stubborn as nails. They won't know the meaning of "death" until they've crashed and bled.

Why did you want to assassinate me?

"Assassination? Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't do something so superficial. Even if you hadn't been able to catch my sword, I wouldn't have stabbed you. I was just testing whether you were worthy of being my opponent."

Cavendish, biting a rose stem, seemed to be talking to Goode, but in reality, he subtly turned to the crowd around him.

It was shiny all over.

"Oh, I see! I misunderstood!"

"Lord Cavendish!"

"What a gentleman!"

The women's eyes were filled with hearts, and their breathing became rapid.

Having gained a wave of popularity, Cavendish turned back to Goode with satisfaction: "Heh, someone like you probably doesn't understand the troubles of having such high popularity, does he?"

"Popularity?"

Goode pondered for a few seconds and then understood.

This kid came to provoke him, apparently just to get attention. Now that the port is full of pirates, it's a perfect place to show off.

However, did they choose the wrong opponent?

Goode raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

In an instant, the port fell silent.

Tens of thousands of people held their breath and did not make a sound. Such unified behavior left Cavendish speechless.

Goode's smile blossomed.

"Looks like I'm more popular than you!"

"This is impossible!"

Cavendish couldn't believe it and pointed at Goode, shouting to the pirates, "Hey, open your eyes and look closely! What makes this guy more popular than me?"

"Which point?"

The pirates looked at each other.

"No matter what, Lord Goode is more popular than you!"

"Hey little punk, don't push your luck!"

"It is the greatest honor of your life to meet Lord Goode!"

"Get out of here!"

The insults and curses rose and fell.

Cardish was severely traumatized and burst into tears on his mother's back, taking a long time to recover.

"I understand!"

Cavendish faced Goode, gritting his teeth as he raised his sword: "I will never tolerate anyone trying to steal my popularity. Let's duel!"

"."

Good was speechless.

Marco approached, looking at Cavendish with a rather troubled expression; newcomers are always the most likely to cause trouble.

"Good, shall I do it?" "No need."

Goode smiled and waved his hand.

Coincidentally, he also dislikes those who steal the spotlight from him.

The pirates immediately retreated, clearing a large area for the duel. Everyone clenched their fists excitedly, waiting for the duel to begin.

We can see Lord Goode making a move!

Cavendish felt the gazes coming from all directions, his fighting spirit surged, and he became increasingly confident.

Draw your sword and charge forward!
The blade, carrying the airflow, thrust powerfully towards Goode!

"Beautiful Sword·Blue Bird!"

"Oh!"

Cavendish collapsed to the ground, a large bump swelling up his head.

K.O!

Goode, with his smoking hand chop, easily secured the victory.

This scene caused the pirates' faces to flush with excitement.

"With just one chop to the neck, he easily defeated a newcomer with a bounty of over 2 million!"

"Of course!"

"Lord Goode's bounty is a whopping 30 billion Berries!"

"Too strong!"

The pirates' faces were flushed, and they excitedly raised their arms and cheered. In the dog-eat-dog world of pirates, strength is the only truth.

"what!"

Goode stared at the unconscious Cavendish with surprise, clearly sensing the surge in the other's aura.

Has the second personality awakened?

Cavendish slowly rose to his feet, then suddenly raised his head, his face contorted with a ferocious, demonic look, before vanishing from the spot in an instant.

"Shh!"

Countless afterimages leaped and darted around Goode.

Cavendish has disappeared!

The pirates stared wide-eyed, unable to see Cavendish at all, but the ground being constantly cleaved open meant the battle was far from over.

Goode squinted.

"interesting!"

The supernovas are all arrogant, but they do have the right to be arrogant. They are the strongest among the newcomers, and with a little more training, they will become powerful figures.

Cavendish's speed at this moment was quite astonishing, no less than that of those well-known powerhouses, and even faster.

"coming."

Sensing the fierce slash coming from the side, Goode's pupils turned to the right, and he swept out with his hand.

"Qiang!"

The hand chopped into the sword blade!
Cavendish, or rather, the second personality, White Horse, growled softly.

I'm going to chop you into pieces!

"Can you speak?"

Goode was surprised again. This thing looked like a madman. He thought it wouldn't be able to communicate, but he didn't expect it to be able to speak on its own initiative.

Goode lowered his hand and faced the white horse.

"Come and try to kill me."

"."

Bai Ma couldn't understand, but even when facing an opponent who had given up resisting, he would show no mercy; killing people was his only reason for being.

"Shh!"

In an instant, countless sharp slashes enveloped Goode!

However, it’s no use!

"What an amazing body!"

Captain Vista tugged at his beard, his eyes filled with astonishment. As a fellow swordsman, he knew very well how powerful the white horse's slash was.

Cutting through steel is a piece of cake!
However, the slashes failed to leave any mark on Goode's body, and most importantly, Goode did not use Haki.

It's just that the muscles are tensed!

"Oh!"

Another chop to the neck!

The white horse also lay on the ground, unable to move.

Goode's eyes turned cold.

Provoking him repeatedly would have serious consequences, especially since this strange guy is difficult to control.

"Well, this is it?"

A golden card lay beside Cavendish, seemingly dropped during a battle, and it gleamed in the sunlight.

Goode bent down and picked up the gold card. When he saw the very familiar words on it, his eye twitched.
