One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 276 I'm here to stop this war!

Around the battlefield, a dozen or so smoking volcanoes slowly rose.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Scorching magma erupted, forming countless volcanic bombs that rained down on the ground, while magma continued to gush from the crater, spreading towards the battlefield.

In an instant, the battlefield was transformed into a world of lava.

"The environment has changed!"

The Five Elders' expressions grew increasingly solemn.

In their understanding, only Sakazuki could have accomplished what they were seeing, but Sakazuki is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, and altering the environment is practically a Logia-type ability.

Mythical Zoan types can also possess the power to manipulate elements, but compared to true Logia types, they are far inferior.

Simply put, Mythical Zoan types create or manipulate elements using their own power, while Natural types are the elements themselves.

But Goode did it!
"Volcanic eruption!"

The earth cracked open, and magma erupted once more.

Goode, transformed into Groudon form, slowly emerged from the scorching magma, his crimson eyes locking onto the Five Elders.

In a conventional battle, he could not possibly defeat five top-tier ability users, as each of their transformed forms was not much inferior to his.

Therefore, seizing the opportunity presented by the weather is the key to success!

They were on the Red Earth continent, which is the largest ley line in the world, with endless natural energy beneath the surface.

Pull the ley lines up!

He turned the environment into his domain!
In this way, the harsh environment alone can affect the Five Elders, limiting their performance to the greatest extent.

and also.

Bathed in the ever-increasing natural energy, Good felt an unprecedented sense of comfort, like a phone with only 5% battery left that had just been plugged in to charge.

The magma patterns on his body gradually lit up!

I don't feel like we'll lose at all!
"Jie hahaha!"

Goode laughed and opened his mouth. The surrounding natural energy condensed into red ribbons, converging into his mouth and forming an orange-red sphere of light.

Energy that is almost tangible!

The power within the body was also being extracted and gathered into the sphere of light, which gradually turned from orange-red to blue-white!

He will go all out in this attack!

The Five Elders were on high alert, clearly sensing the danger!
"Omega Ultimate Fireball!!!"

Good roar!

Evolving from orange-red to blue-white, it unleashes ultra-high-temperature flames powerful enough to melt everything into juice!

Almost simultaneously, all five elders launched a counterattack: a Conqueror's Haki roar, fierce eyes, chaotic wind blades, icy slashing waves, and shards of rock—five completely different powers clashed with the blue-white pillar of fire!
The blinding light, like the sun, robbed everyone of their sight, and their hearing was filled with a sharp buzzing sound.

Wait until the light fades away.

"The sky has been pierced!"

The marines on both sides looked up at the sky and stared at the enormous crater in the center of the dark clouds, so horrified they almost stopped breathing.

It was as if the sky had been pierced!
What a terrible collision!

In the center of the battlefield, the ground has disappeared.

The bottomless pit almost reached the magma layer, its bottom glowing with an orange-red light, and the surrounding inner walls had also melted into magma.

Like the mouth of an abyss!

You can reach the abyss by jumping down!
Good stood at the edge of the abyss, while the Five Elders stood at the other end. Each of them was in a terrible state, and even their regeneration had slowed down considerably.

"Isn't this okay?"

Goode frowned.

The energy explosion just now was a full-scale attack; even he himself was shaken and coughed up blood. The Five Elders should not have been unharmed.

Even if he speaks domineeringly, he can still be entangled.

If even that doesn't work, then he'll have to find a way to lure those old guys to the Earth's core and bury them there!
He simply didn't believe there were no weaknesses.

Thinking of this, Goode deactivated his transformation and shrunk his body. Then he knelt on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Pfft, cough cough!" Blood gushed out as if it were free!
"That guy's injured!"

The Five Elders noticed Goode's unusual behavior immediately.

But looking at the abyss ahead, the five elders frowned. How could they fight without even a foothold? Beyond that lay the ocean.

If they were to fall into the Earth's core, even they would be in mortal danger!
No, they are already in danger!
The attack just now contained not only an energy explosion, but also a clash of Conqueror's Haki between the two sides. An excessive amount of Conqueror's Haki can suppress Devil Fruit abilities.

They were wounded too!

But precisely because of this, we cannot let Goode go. That attack must have consumed a lot of Goode's strength, as evidenced by his inability to maintain his transformation and his coughing up blood.

Now is the perfect time to take down Goode.

"Um?!"

At almost the same moment, the Five Elders turned their heads to look at the sea.

A black ship is approaching!
On the deck, there's "Revolutionary Army" Dragon, "Chief of Staff" Sabo, "Transgender King" Ivankov, and "Eastern Army Commander" Betty.
They are the revolutionary army!

And the leader and his officers are all present!
Why did they come here?!

The Five Elders' eyes were filled with gloom.

The revolutionary army's ships docked.

Dragon stepped forward, his gaze icy as he looked at the Five Elders. He desperately wanted to kill them right now, but he knew it was impossible.

He also had some understanding of the Celestial Dragons' teleportation abilities.

"I'm here to stop this war!"

"Dorag!"

The five elders had grim faces.

The two people who pose the greatest threat to the world government are here at the same time!

"The Five Elders!"

Dragon said coldly, "The whole world is watching this war. Continuing it will not lead to anything. If you want to keep causing trouble, then come on, we'll be your opponents!"

"."

The Five Elders, their faces grim, deactivated their transformations.

With the Hoenn government and the Revolutionary Army joining forces, their fighting power has shifted towards the enemy, and the small battlefield has limited their effectiveness.

Most importantly, the Revolutionary Army is different from the Hoenn government. Dragon knows their secrets, so they cannot act recklessly because of their immortality.

What a loss of composure!
A magic circle appeared, and the Five Elders disappeared one after another.

Soon, the navy withdrew.

Dorag looked at Goode, nodded, and then left with his men.

"Leaving now?"

Goode spat in annoyance.

Can't you be a little more perceptive?

He deliberately pretended to be seriously injured, preparing to make a leap of faith in his desperate situation, jumping into the lava cave to lure the Five Elders and see if he could bury them.

If that doesn't work, he'll dig a hole to bring in seawater. Since ability users can't swim, he might be able to drown the Five Elders.

If that doesn't work, then go to Shanghai Lou Shi. At worst, we'll expose his swimming secret, but we have to leave one behind.

Jiejiejie~~
Before the Five Elders could fall for it, the Revolutionary Army couldn't resist and asked, "If you're going to leave, can't you at least reveal some information before you go?"

Pshaw, all you do is play mysterious!

"Never mind, the objective has been achieved."

Goode stretched, looking slightly tired.

Until a way to break the Five Elders' immortality is found, the chances of winning are basically zero. The Five Elders shouldn't be so easily fooled, but if we try a few more times, we'll find a way to break it sooner or later.

What do we do about this hole?

Looking at the abyss before him, Goode pondered for a moment, then glanced at Upside Down Mountain and quickly came up with an idea.

Fill it in!
