One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 227 Fire Fist Ace Goes to Jail!

"Um?!"

Whitebeard and Shanks were taken aback when they saw Good suddenly draw his sword in anger; they couldn't afford to be distracted while they were competing in terms of dominance.

Almost simultaneously, the two made the same choice, turning their blades to meet the incoming giant sword, their domineering aura surging forth.

"boom!!!"

The three weapons clashed in mid-air but did not touch, each wielding its own domineering aura and occupying its own territory!
Amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, countless black and red lightning bolts spread out from the three people, unleashing a violent impact that instantly enveloped the three giant ships that were leaning against each other.

The pirates foamed at the mouth and collapsed one after another.

"Damn it, they've all passed out!"

"Is war about to break out?!"

"Let's wait and see. They're not the kind of people who would do something stupid."

Apart from the high-ranking officers, all the other pirates lost consciousness under the impact of the three forces' Haki.

"Look at the sky!"

Everyone looked up at the sky, where a huge vortex of thunderclouds appeared directly above, with countless bolts of lightning emerging from within it.

The sky is distorted!
After an unknown amount of time, the domineering aura dissipated.

Meeting area.

Whitebeard stumbled backward and sat back down in his place. Goode and Shanks also slid backward at the same time until their heels hit the steps and they stopped abruptly.

"This guy!"

Shanks' eyes were filled with gloom, and cold sweat dripped down his back.

A domineering green entanglement!

He knew very well that the speed at which young people were growing could not be underestimated, but how long had it been and Goode had already reached the same level as them?

It's incredible.

If Goode were the captain of the Beasts Pirates, then it would be understandable, but Goode also has Kaido above him, so how did he overcome this obstacle?

Conqueror's Haki, the symbol of a domineering ruler.

Those who can master Conqueror's Haki should not be subservient to others; otherwise, how can they become true overlords?

Goode sheathed his greatsword, his gaze turning cold.

You've spilled my wine!

"."

The white-bearded and red-haired men were stunned.

Just because of this?

Goode snorted and looked at the redhead.

"The times are out of control? So what!"

"If you really care so much about balance, then become the Celestial Dragons' dog and help them consolidate their rotten rule, instead of standing here and stopping the tide of progress."

"How can the times bring about change without tremendous transformations?"

"Are we really going to pin all our hopes on the future, on the next Joy Boy, on Nika?!"

"Jie hahaha!"

Goode laughed loudly.

"Redhead, don't assume your bet on the future is correct. Let me tell you, everyone has the right to change the world!"

"."

Shanks, his face ashen, slowly sheathed his sword.

Joey Boy, Nika.

He never expected to hear those two names from Goode; it seemed the other man knew just as much of the truth as he did.

Goode's expression calmed down.

"This is not a place for you, and you can't change anything. If you really want to stop me, then let's meet on the battlefield!"

"What a failure."

Shanks sighed and turned to leave.

"Disaster! I will not let the world fall into the hands of beasts!"

"Then we'll see."

After Shanks left, Goode looked at Whitebeard: "Time is running out, old man, you'd better get ready as soon as possible, but don't worry too much, I'll help you."

"Help me? Gurarara!"

Whitebeard laughed loudly: "You brat, I'm Whitebeard! Why would I need the help of a snotty brat like you!"

I meant I'd help you collect your body!

Goode smirked and turned to leave.

"Also, I will take care of your son, and I will deal with Blackbeard, so don't worry about the aftermath. Just dance and say goodbye to the new era!"

"."

Whitebeard watched Goode leave, then sighed deeply. "What a cunning brat!"

His thoughts were completely seen through.

When Ace left, he knew things would get out of control, but he had no reason to stop Ace.

Teach has his eye on his position and will be fully prepared to replace him sooner or later; the only difference is how he will do it.

Even if Ace hadn't left, Teach would have used other methods; this war was absolutely unavoidable.

If they don't settle things with Blackbeard, Thatch's tragedy will only repeat itself. Too many pirates are eyeing his head, and given the precedent, they will test him step by step until they are completely devoured.

It wasn't that he didn't want to recall Ace, but he had no choice.

After Beasts and Shanks left, the Whitebeard Pirates continued to hold a banquet, but the atmosphere had changed slightly.

The captains and crew all sensed the approaching threat of war.

Days later, the news broke around the world.

Fire Fist Ace is in jail!

[The new Shichibukai, "Blackbeard" Teach!]

[Enies Lobby has fallen!]

Every news story is a major event that could shock the world!

The newspaper's entertainment section also reported on Cavendish's debut, with his photobook featuring rather provocative shots; however, it failed to make a splash under the weight of the major news.

First debut, a failure!

In a bedroom crafted from sea stone, Cavendish's dual personality erupts once more, his face half white and half black, and this time, their thoughts are surprisingly aligned.

"They absolutely must be killed!"

Hoenn Fortress.

Young cadres scattered throughout Beihai gathered, and Sasaki and Fuzfu also received orders to come to the fortress.

"Brother Kaido wants to join in the fun?"

"Yes."

"Then let him be."

Good waved his hand dismissively.

With war imminent, Kaido, who loves war, naturally wanted to join in the fun, but he also had other matters to attend to, so he wouldn't be joining the operation.

"Ready to set sail!"

"Yes!"

Soon, more than a dozen Hoenn warships set sail.

Destination: Sabaody Archipelago.

Meanwhile, at the Navy Headquarters.

The Supreme Council is currently in session.

Ace's imprisonment forced the Navy to make a choice.

Releasing Fire Fist is impossible; if we did, the Navy's sense of justice would be tarnished. But ignoring it is not an option either.

Whitebeard will definitely come to save Fire Fist!

War is about to break out!

Therefore, the war must be kept in a position favorable to the navy.

"Summon the elite officers and generals from all sea areas!"

What about Beihai?

"We don't have any spare troops to deploy in the North Sea right now!"

"Bring Sakazuki back immediately!"

The meeting quickly came to a conclusion!
"Publicly execute Fire Fist!"

Furthermore, a total of 100,000 elite officers and soldiers were gathered from all over the world to fight against the Whitebeard Pirates!

After the meeting, the veterans went to the marshal's office.

"The beasts will surely take action."

"If that's the case, we'll have no choice but to ask the Knights of God for help!"

Several people from the Warring States period had gloomy faces.

The Whitebeard Pirates alone are enough to force the Navy to go all out. If the Beasts Pirates were to join in, the Navy Headquarters might very well be sunk to the bottom of the sea.

But the arrow is on the string and must be fired.

They hadn't expected Blackbeard to give them Fire Fist, and now they could only take it one step at a time.

No matter how well prepared, things will definitely turn out beyond our expectations.

In addition, the Navy also needs a major victory to boost morale!
