One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 245 Goode's Bounty!

The next day, morning.

On the streets of Fishman Island, Baron Egg and Pokomos were buying various desserts as gifts for their mothers.

Before they could figure out what was happening, the two were attacked when several identical Speed ​​figures appeared in the sky, bows drawn and arrows nocked.

"Phantom Bursting Arrow!"

Countless arrows rained down from the sky, engulfing the two of them!

"Boom boom boom!!!"

A series of massive explosions!
It is clear that the arrow contained explosives.

Speed ​​landed on the ground, and the illusion created by the teleportation fruit disappeared, but the attack he had dealt was real.

The real clone.

Not only that, her equipment has also been upgraded several times.

The longbow in her hand was made from a fresh branch of the Elbaf Adam Tree, so strong that she could not fully draw it.

The arrows are special arrows manufactured by the Hoenn Research Institute. Depending on the type, they have various functions such as armor-piercing, explosive, electromagnetic, smoke, and flash.

There are also blue strip goggles that can assist in reconnaissance and target locking, similar to the pacifist scanning system.

In addition, she carried a lot of combat gadgets made by Judge and the others. Even her clothes and shoes were made of shape memory metal. They weren't as comprehensive as the combat suits, but they were still quite useful.

The woman looks dashing and heroic.

The poor rely on mutation, the rich rely on technology!

Hoenn Technology is developing rapidly, so it's natural to put it into use and see how it goes. Besides, Speed's previous equipment was indeed quite shabby.

"Damn it, who did this?!"

Baron Tamago burst out of the smoke, covered in wounds, while Pekoms behind him was unharmed; as a user of the Turtle-Turtle Fruit, his defense was quite good.

The two glared angrily at Speed.

As fighters under the banner of all nations, they had almost forgotten what it felt like to be wounded; normally, no one dared to attack them.

"You are Speed ​​of the Beasts!"

"And Jinbe too!"

"What do you mean?!"

Speed ​​was with his men, and Jinbe was standing beside him.

Jinbe offered an apologetic explanation.

"I'm sorry, Baron Egg, I've joined the Beasts' ranks, and Captain Goode has ordered you to be driven off Fishman Island!"

"This island now belongs to the beasts!"

"what?!"

Baron Egg's face darkened.

They had just spoken with Neptune and were quite keen to cooperate, but now the Beasts are trying to take over Fishman Island!
If we back down at a time like this, where will Mom put her face?
"Pokemus!"

"understand!"

Pirate conflicts must be resolved through battle!
On the other side, Fishman Bay.

"Ooohhhhhh!"

"I found it!"

"This is All Blue!"

Sanji knelt on the shore and wailed, his mind filled with shivering as he watched the mermaids playing in the bay.

"What a spineless coward."

Goode stood aside, his face full of disgust.

It's just some mermaids, what's with all the fuss?

Chikara ran over from a distance, carrying a stack of newspapers in her arms: "Lord Goode, I found the newspapers you requested."

"it is good."

Goode took the newspaper, a broad smile spreading across his face.

"Sanji!"

"what?"

Sanji looked wary.

He needed to return to Sabaody Archipelago to reunite with his companions, which is why he boarded the Groudon; otherwise, he would have sneaked away long ago.

A man's intuition told him that Goode was quite dangerous.

Goode slapped the newspaper at Sanji's face.

"See for yourself."

"Luffy?"

Sanji took the newspaper and was startled.

The newspapers published news about Luffy; just two days ago, Luffy arrived at Marine Headquarters and rang the Oaks Bell.

It seems to be a tribute to Ace.

But this is not something Luffy would do. The 3D2Y mark on his arm made Sanji realize what Luffy was trying to convey.

The gathering time has been changed from the agreed three days to two years later!

"Luffy, I'm so glad you're alright."

Their hearts finally settled down. Since Luffy had conveyed the message of gathering, it meant that he had recovered from the news of his brother's death.

"Okay, I've decided!"

Sanji's eyes blazed with fury. "I'm going to settle here and go to Sabaody Archipelago in two years!"

"Oh!"

He punched Sanji on the head, knocking Sanji to the ground.

Goode's fists were steaming, and he cursed with a face full of black lines, "Can't you think of anything else that can improve your strength here?"

"of course can!"

Sanji jumped to his feet, blood gushing from his nostrils.

"Beauty is a man's greatest motivation!"

"."

This guy is hopeless.

Goode sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

As for Sanji, he wanted to bring him back to the fortress to train him as the logistics minister. The kid's culinary talent was indeed excellent, and he could grow into a high-end combatant.

He no longer thinks highly of the Flying Six, and the only ones he cares about are at least the top-tier level.

This kid just happens to have enough potential.

As for the future, too many things can change in two years, and given Straw Hat Luffy's recklessness, he will most likely provoke him on his own.

We'll just slaughter them then.

Without their captain, the Straw Hat crew will fall apart.

Stances are stances, but friendships are friendships.

Pirates are very clear about these distinctions.

Goode looked at the lustful Sanji and said with a dark face, "Come back with me, and in just two years, your strength will increase 100 times!"

"Ah!"

"By the way, Amazon Lily is right next to Hoenn Fortress!"

"Nani?"

Daughter Island?!

Sanji's heart was pounding.

The legendary Island of Daughters is a kingdom entirely inhabited by women.

Gold Plus Edition All Blue!

"I heard Jinbe say before that the Fish-Men really want to have friendly exchanges with humans."

Good stroked his chin.

"Then let's talk to Grand Knight Neptune before we leave. I plan to establish a merman settlement near Hoenn Fortress and bring some mermaid ladies to live there."

"I'll go with you!"

Sanji is blowing smoke from his nostrils!

What an easy fool to deal with.

Good shook his head with amusement, then sat down at the Mermaid Cafe not far away and continued to read the rest of the newspaper.

"The newest Shichibukai, [Thousand Ryo Transformation] Buggy!"

"Strip the Germa Kingdom of its membership in the World Government!"

"Sengoku and Garp have been relegated to the sidelines!"

"The next Fleet Admiral, originally Admiral Akainu Sakazuki!"

"World Government's Mass Recruiting!"

These are all major news stories that have shocked the world.

"Akainu has become Fleet Admiral?"

Goode looked at the newspaper, somewhat bewildered.

What's going on? The war only ended half a month ago, and Akainu has already decided to take over as Fleet Admiral so quickly?

Aokiji.

Did you save the other leg?
There's also a massive global government recruitment drive!
This is not surprising. The war between the navy and him resulted in several times the damage. Many of the wounded who survived drowned, and nearly half of the 100,000 officers and soldiers were probably lost.

Conscription is inevitable.

But Akainu's appointment seems a bit too hasty.

Wait, could it be that he forced her to do it?
Goode thought about it more and more and felt that this was the case.

The Navy had taken down Whitebeard, which was a great loss, but still within acceptable limits. Blackbeard wasn't considered a major threat, since he was just a traditional pirate.

He clearly wants to conquer the world, and his threat level to the World Government is much higher than that of the Four Emperors. Even the Revolutionary Army can't catch up with him!

"Wow!"

A wanted poster slipped out of the newspaper.

Groudon Good, the "Disaster," has a bounty of 1.16 billion Berries!
"41 billion Baileys!"

Goode looked at his bounty poster and a smile spread across his face.

"Chikara, what was Shanks' bounty again?"

"40 million Baileys!"

It's even higher than Shanks' bounty!
Such a high bounty was previously only available to the Four Emperors, which means that the Navy is treating him as one of the Four Emperors.

"Hehehehe!!!"
