One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 228 Gathering in the Sabaody Archipelago!
Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

"Diseases occurred in the Sabaody Archipelago?"

"Yes, but they don't seem to be flying the banner of the beasts this time, and their behavior is also very strange."

"make it clear!"

"Reporting to the Marshal, the Disaster seems to be acquiring properties in Chambord!"

The Warring States period was taken aback.

At this critical moment, the sudden appearance of the calamity Gud in Sabaody Archipelago is very likely an attempt to intervene in the war.

But what exactly is this about acquiring real estate?

Although they know that geological disasters have an inexplicable obsession with real estate, and they don't have time to waste their resources on the other side right now, is it really appropriate to do this at this time?

The school officer was extremely nervous.

"Also, an old man resembling [Hades] Rayleigh has been discovered. He's now been sold into a human auction—no, I mean, a job placement agency!"

"Hades!"

He's another troublesome and dangerous person.

"Pfft hahaha!"

Garp ate a senbei (rice cracker) and burst out laughing.

“One troublesome fellow after another, ignore them. Sengoku, we don’t have any extra troops to waste on them right now. Hey, pour me a cup of tea.”

"Shut up, Garp! I haven't settled the score with you for your grandson's sake yet!"

Sengoku angrily rebuked Garp.

What kind of time is this to cause him trouble?

"Of all times!"

During the Warring States period, he suffered from severe headaches.

In preparation for war, the navy's forces are gathering at headquarters, but, perhaps coincidentally, troublesome individuals have arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

A total of 11 supernovas!

There are also natural disasters and Hades.

Sabaody is currently short of manpower. If the navy wants to eliminate these dangerous individuals, it will inevitably suffer countless losses, and success is not guaranteed.

As Garp said, they had all their energy focused on dealing with the war and had no spare troops to spare.

Sabaody Archipelago, illegal territory.

"Extra number, extra number!"

Newspapers were flying everywhere!

"real or fake!"

"This is going to be a big problem, Captain!"

"what?!"

Apart from the Straw Hat crew, who were not particularly sensitive to intelligence, the other Supernovas gradually learned of the latest news.

One week later, the Marine Headquarters will publicly execute Whitebeard's second division commander, "Fire Fist" Ace!

Without a doubt, this is war!
The Sabaody Archipelago, which is very close to the Navy Headquarters, is very likely to be affected by the war, which has led to a large number of wealthy people fleeing the islands.

Island No. 11.

Real estate agency.

"As expected, property prices have plummeted!"

"Hurry up and acquire them!"

"I want to build a Hoenn community on this island too!"

Goode was overjoyed as he looked at the wall full of listings. The wealthy were selling off their properties, and prices were plummeting, making it the perfect opportunity to buy at rock-bottom prices.

He had been looking forward to this moment.

The Sabaody Archipelago can be considered the center of the world, attracting countless tourists at all times, including many nobles and wealthy businessmen.

If it weren't for the war, property prices in Chambord would never have changed much, and he wouldn't have been able to buy one even if he wanted to.

It's not a matter of money, but rather that the World Government won't allow anyone to sell his property to him. That's why the wealthy are now fleeing in panic, and the World Government doesn't have the energy to deal with him.

This opportunity will be gone forever.

With only a few days until the war, the most important thing is to focus on business. Perhaps we can use this as a springboard to expand to other islands in the future.

"Lord Goode."

Halding found Goode, his eyes filled with rage: "I heard that giants are being auctioned off by humans, and I want to go there."

"go Go!"

Good waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away flies, and said to his other subordinates, "You can move around as you please, just don't make too much of a commotion."

"understand!"

The cadres looked excited.

The Sabaody Archipelago is world-renowned and a famous tourist destination; they've long wanted to explore it thoroughly. And, of course, the supernova!

The group exchanged glances, all revealing malicious intent.

Bullying newbies is so much fun!

"Leave Straw Hat Luffy to me!"

Forzford grinned.

He has a score to settle with the Straw Hats, and before that, there was something else: not long ago, Straw Hat Luffy defeated the super genius Rob Lucci.

He was once hailed as a genius during his time with CP9, but after Lucci appeared, everyone overlooked him, and all his efforts and talent were overshadowed by Lucci's brilliance.

How can it be repaired?
If he defeats the Straw Hat, he will prove that he is better than Lucci!

"Sasaki, is there anyone you want to deal with?"

"Yes, but he's not here."

Sasaki's gaze was deep, and an image of a strong, blue fat man appeared in his mind. As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, that guy would definitely appear in this war.

The other cadres also had their own desired goals.

Reiju took out a wanted poster, and a smile appeared in her eyes as she looked at the hand-drawn portrait on it.

Sanji, nicknamed "Black Leg," has a bounty of 7700 million Berries.

I don't know if I'll be able to meet him.

As the older sister, she has a gift she wants to give to Sanji.

"Xiao Pei, come with me to buy clothes!"

"Go by yourself!"

The cadres dispersed and acted separately.

On this crime-ridden island, trouble will find you even if you don't want to, especially with rare and uncommon races.

Besides pirates, the island is mostly inhabited by human trafficking gangs.

Giants, minks, fishmen, etc.

There are also wanted criminals.

These are all their priority hunting targets!
"We've discovered the fur tribe!"

Carla and Carrot acted together and were quickly targeted by human traffickers. The two naive girls were completely unaware of the danger.

Runti and Xiaopei were also targeted.

The high bounties on the two men were the best temptation. As for the title of the Four Emperors, on this island adjacent to the Marine Headquarters, the deterrent power of the Four Emperors was negligible.

On the contrary, Sasaki and Fozfe, two seasoned veterans, were in their element.

Goode strolled around with a few of his men.

He left the house purchase to others, and since he had come all the way to Chambord, he wanted to take a stroll around and see if he could meet any interesting guys.

Islands 1-29 are illegal zones, where pirates mostly congregate. Among the 11 Supernovas, you're bound to run into a few if you're not too unlucky.

For example, the degenerate major general right now.

Goode revealed a playful smile.

"Long time no see, Major General Drake."

"Um?!"

Drake was stunned for a long time when he saw Goode.

How come this guy is here!

"Captain, this is bad!"

Drake's men, seeing Goode's legs nearly buckling, were drenched in cold sweat, terrified that their captain would fight him.

"Captain, this guy is a disaster!"

"We'd better stay away from him!"

"If he targets us, we're doomed!"

Drake's eyes were filled with gloom. He knew all too well how powerful the man before him was; the opponent was a formidable enemy that even the commander-in-chief had difficulty defeating.

But he was more concerned about why Goode was in Sabaody Archipelago. Did the Marine Headquarters know about such a serious incident?

"take it easy."

Goode approached Drake and gave him an unquestionable order.

"Walk with me."

"."

Drake's face turned pale and uncertain as he silently followed Goode.

Trouble.
