One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 279 Today is an auspicious day! Auspicious day!
The Groudon set sail the following day.

The Hoenn Fortress is very close to Wano Country, only an hour away, so Good simply stayed on the deck fishing to pass the time.

Yamato sat next to Goode, looking nostalgic: "Goode, it's been so long since we've been back."

"It has been quite a long time indeed."

Goode glanced at Yamato.

This girl is almost the head of the company's engineering team, and she doesn't even need a salary. She's busy all the time.

"Don't you hate Ghost Island?"

"This is different."

Yamato excitedly rolled up his sleeves and said confidently, "Hahaha, when I get back, I'm going to find my father and fight him. I've become so much stronger now!"

"."

So that's what you were looking forward to.

Good shook his head, amused.

It's really tough on Kaido, having such a rebellious daughter. What if his and Yamato's children are just as rebellious in the future?

Ha, break the little guy's legs!
"Yamato, do you want to go on an adventure?"

"adventure?!"

Yamato's ears perked up.

Of course she wanted to! She had always dreamed of building her own pirate crew so she could go wherever she wanted, but Goode had never allowed her to go to sea alone.

"Is it really possible?"

"After this fire festival, you can go out to sea if you want, but you can only stay in the North Sea and the New World. These two seas are enough to keep you entertained for a long time."

Goode nodded with a smile.

He never minded Yamato going to sea, but he had to ensure her safety. After all, Yamato's identity was special, and now the North Sea and the New World were under his control, so he could relax a little.

"Wow!"

The fishing hook suddenly sank!
Goode's eyes lit up, and he was about to lift the rod when suddenly everything went black.

"Good, you're so kind!"

Yamato excitedly hugged Goode, burying Goode's head in his chest, his fluffy tail sticking out from his rear end and shaking like a propeller.

Fish, my fish!
Goode finally managed to break free of his restraints, and looking at the fishing rod being swept away rapidly on the sea, he was utterly bewildered.

After all these years, I've finally taken the bait!
How can it be repaired?
Goode looked at Yamato with a dark face and said irritably, "Alright, alright, remember to pick a few companions when you go back, and bring Antelope along too. That kid is quite clever and knows how to navigate."

"Uh-huh!"

Yamato nodded vigorously, then ran back to the cabin with great joy, plotting her grand adventure. There were so many places she wanted to go.

As soon as Yamato left, a disheveled woman, looking like a ghost, rushed up to Goode, her eyes bloodshot, and grabbed his arm.

"Good luck! Good luck!!!"

"What good fortune?"

Good was startled, thinking a monster had appeared. If it weren't for the distinctive orange hair and big ears, he almost wouldn't have recognized the other party.

"Palace Master?"

"Yeah, it's me."

The priest's eyes were bloodshot, and he gripped a wooden divination stick tightly in his hand: "Lord Goode, I've predicted it correctly, it's a very auspicious sign!"

"."

Good was speechless.

It's just a very auspicious sign. His divination results are always very auspicious, with no major changes. Is it really worth being so surprised?

"What did you calculate that brought you great fortune?"

"The Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit!"

The palace official was in high spirits.

During this period, she would have her fortune told every day, but every time she received an ominous sign, which almost drove her crazy.

Today, upon returning to Wano Country, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her, instantly clearing her mind and making her feel that good fortune was on its way. She quickly consulted a fortune teller.

It's indeed a very auspicious day!

Haha, her luck is about to change!

Goode was embarrassed. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the woman's bare tail and paused for a moment before reaching out to pick it up.

Is it losing fur because it's sick?
What's wrong with your tail?

"I plucked them all myself."

Gong Si waved his hand excitedly, completely unconcerned about the bald tail: "It's alright, new fur will grow back in a month or two!"

"."

Goode gasped.

This silly girl's gone mad from fortune-telling!
"So what did you calculate?" "Gold!"

The priest's mental state became increasingly suspicious.

"As long as we follow this clue, we will definitely find the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit. This was calculated using my fur as a sacrifice, so it can't be wrong!"

"That's it?"

Good was a little confused.

This is an incredibly wide range of clues.

Suddenly realizing something, the priest cautiously asked, "Lord Goode, you will help me find the Nine-Tails, right?"

"."

Goode was once again ashamed.

Is this girl only just realizing this?

Even if we find the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, as a Mythical Zoan, it would naturally be given to a powerful subordinate to eat.

But seeing the girl's pitiful appearance and the clues she provided, it's not that we can't let her eat it.

Good said irritably, "If you found the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit through your divination, then you can eat it."

"Lord Goode!"

The priest looked at Goode, tears welling up in his eyes, and soon they burst forth, flowing down his face along with his snot.

Waaah, she's given so much, and finally she's got her reward.

"Waaaaah, Lord Goode, if you ever come to me for a fortune telling in the future, I...I...waaaah, I'll definitely give you a discount, a 20% or 30% discount!"

"Really? Thank you."

Good wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It's really tough on her; she's made such a big concession on money for something that's barely even started.

"what?"

Seemingly exhausted from crying, or perhaps due to excessive mental exertion, Gong Si curled up like a little fox, nestled next to him, and drifted off to sleep.

Good stroked the chieftain's head and fell into deep thought.

This girl plucked so much fur, she probably didn't throw it away, right? He's been really wanting a fox fur scarf.

The sky gradually darkened.

But it wasn't because of the time, but because they entered the waters of Wano Country, and the shapes of the waves changed to the style of ukiyo-e paintings.

Ahead, the waterfall came into view.

At this moment, on Ghost Island.

At the top of Skull Castle!

The two pirate leaders gazed at each other from afar.

"It's been a long time, Kaido!"

"I didn't expect you to still be alive, Shiki!"

"Hehehe!!!"

"Uro ro ro!!!"

Kaido laughed and swung his spiked club, while Shiki laughed back and kicked, the famous sword embedded in his lower body meeting the club head-on!
"Qiang!!!"

The wind was blowing, the lightning was thundering.

The sky has cracked open again!
The next moment, Shiki staggered back more than ten meters, while Kaido remained motionless, making the power disparity between the two obvious.

"Chirp, hahaha!"

Shiki grinned.

"The apprentice kid on the ship back then has now become the strongest in the world. I'm truly astonished. Kaido, now it's your time!"

"Ugh, so this is what you came all this way to say?!"

Kaido's gaze was cold.

Forty years ago, he was just an apprentice on the Rocks Pirates, looking up at the monsters on the ship like a lackey.

But right now, he is the strongest in the world!
No one can be above him; even the monsters of yesteryear are destined to be trampled under his feet!
"Hahaha, that's really awesome!"

Shiki clenched his fist.

"Kaido, I'm here to discuss a business deal with you!"

"Business?"

Kaido paused for a moment.

Is this guy here to buy his weapons?
