One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 278 Can't I just write a letter?

Two days later.

The World Economic News Agency's newspaper was published at top speed, and other news agencies also published similar content.

[Hoennium & Naval Headquarters Joint Military Exercise a Complete Success!]

[Win-win cooperation, three-day holiday!]

【All Blue Strait!】

【God of the Earth!】

A comprehensive overview of the Hoenn Navy's officers and officers!

As before, reports about the war were altered to portray it as joint military exercises in an effort to minimize the impact of any setbacks in the war.

The World Government, still within its jurisdiction, thoughtfully granted a three-day holiday to celebrate, citing the consensus reached with the Hoenn government to coexist peacefully.

In addition, the newspaper contained a great deal of information about the Hoenn Navy, especially a summary of the Hoenn officers and soldiers.

Goode also got a new title.

【God of the Earth! 】

This battle can be considered the best propaganda for the Hoenn government.

Hoenn Fortress, Marshal's Office.

"You don't even have any shame!"

Goode tossed the newspaper aside.

Although it may seem like self-deception, the number of people who watch the live broadcast to learn the truth is still a minority worldwide, and even those who watch the live broadcast may still be deceived by the newspapers.

The vast majority of ordinary people are not very sensitive to the course of the war. They believe whatever the newspapers say and blindly trust the world government and the navy.

After all, our knowledge is limited.

However, there were also many who remained clear-headed, especially the naval officers and soldiers who participated in the war, as well as the people within the Hoenn government's sphere of influence.

Kuzan raised his head, looking at Goode with a troubled expression: "Oh dear, how long are you going to stay here?"

"I'll be leaving in a bit."

Good crossed his legs.

"We've just won a battle, now is the perfect time to poach talent. You, Marshal, should be more proactive. I've heard that Lieutenant General Doll was once Saul's adjutant, and Smoker was also one of your close subordinates. They are both talented individuals worth recruiting."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Kuzan looked conflicted.

He's a marshal now, for him to resort to such underhanded tactics as poaching talent is a disgrace if word gets out.

But.
Kuzan picked up a stack of letters from the table.

"I've already written the letter, and I'll send someone to deliver it secretly in the next few days."

"That's right."

Goode beamed with joy.

What's shameful about poaching? If he could, he would have poached everyone in the navy, not even the three admirals.

Kizaru!

Triple pay, five days on, two days off!

Unfortunately, we weren't really friends.

Fujitora could also be won over, but that guy joined the Navy with a strong purpose, and it's estimated that he won't side with him until the Seven Warlords system is abolished.

As for Green Bull, he's a die-hard Celestial Dragon fan. If you want to win him over, you'll first have to figure out how to dispel his fascination with the Celestial Dragons.

Speed ​​arrived at the office and reported to Aokiji: "Fleet Admiral Aokiji, the entire naval branch in the North Sea has been incorporated!"

"Ok."

Kuzan nodded slightly.

The navy in the North Sea had become a expendable force, unable to even pay salaries. Taking advantage of the impact of this war, the reorganization process went smoothly.

The branch navy is mostly composed of locals, and few are willing to leave the North Blue. They also lack support from the World Government, so they have no choice but to join Hoenn.

"How are the member states doing?"

"Only seven countries have not yet given a clear response. All seven countries are currently at war and cannot hold out for much longer."

Speed ​​replied.

There were more than 30 member states of the World Government in the North Sea, but now only seven remain. Besides some that sold out their countries, there are also some that couldn't afford to pay the Heavenly Gold, forcing their royal families to flee, and others that were destroyed in war.

The remaining seven kingdoms also expressed their willingness to join the Hoenn government, but all talks broke down. The kings could not accept giving up their rule and wanted to maintain their independent regimes as before.

However, Hoenn is not a world government and will not allow such a thing, even if those countries offer to pay Hoenn Celestial Gold.

The foundation upon which we stand cannot be compromised.

After reporting his work, Speed ​​turned to Goode. "Captain Goode, everyone has been notified, and we can depart tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Goode nodded.

Upon hearing this, Kuzan asked in surprise.

"You want to leave?"

"Yes, I need to go back to Wano Country. I probably won't be back for a while. With you here, that's enough."

Goode stretched.

Back in the New World, he would no longer be the Commander-in-Chief of Hoenn, but an evil pirate, free from all worries.

There are Aokiji in the Hoenn region.

He needs to go home and relax.

The new world is getting increasingly chaotic and desperately needs to be rectified!
Kuzan's gaze was strange.

When Good returned to Wano Country, he was naturally a pirate, at most the chairman of the Groudon Company.

How did this man manage to switch between being the righteous Commander-in-Chief of Hoenn and suddenly becoming an evil pirate?

He struggled with the decision to leave the navy for many years.

Kuzan couldn't help but ask, "Good, how did you adjust your mindset?"

"Adjust your mindset? No!"

Goode chuckled at Kuzan's puzzled look: "What you see is just what I want you to see. My true nature is not as wonderful as you imagine."

"Oh, I see. I'll keep a close eye on you!"

Kuzan looked solemn.

Good is a pillar of the Hoenn government, and he must not let Good go astray. He will do his best to correct Good's lifestyle problems from now on!
Goode: "."

Night falls, Groudon.

The bar inside the ship was unusually lively; upon learning that Goode was returning to the New World, all of his friends from the fortress rushed over.

I drank it for a long time.

Hancock awkwardly moved closer to Goode, avoiding his gaze, seemingly embarrassed about something.

"I wish to go with you."

"Sorry, Hancock."

Good gazed at Hancock: "I'd love to take you back to Ghost Island with me, but there's something I need your help with."

"what's up?"

Hancock looked at Goode with surprise.

Good needs her!

Goode gave a gentle smile.

"Could you help me bring Rayleigh to live here?"

"Rayleigh?"

A question mark appeared on Hancock's forehead.

Goode chuckled.

Master Lei is an excellent swordsman, and swordsmanship is a compulsory course for marines. We must recruit Master Lei as our instructor. The reason we couldn't find him last time is probably because he was avoiding us.

If we can't persuade him, let's try a different approach.

Goode used his good looks to his advantage, making his voice even more gentle.

"Hancock, you'll help me, won't you?"

"Of course!"

Hancock nodded, her cheeks flushed.

At this moment, Goode's appearance changed in her eyes; he was like a prince with a pointed head, radiating captivating charm.

But there's a problem.

"What if Rayleigh doesn't want to?"

"you can!"

Goode smiled and said, "If Rayleigh doesn't want to, you can get him drunk and kidnap him. If that doesn't work, you can drug him and knock him out, or even turn him to stone. You can definitely do it!"

"Mmmmmmm!"

The woman nodded vigorously!

Behind Hancock, her two younger sisters exchanged a glance and sighed in unison. Their older sister had been completely fooled!
