One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 288 The Ideal Country Project

Chikara opened the door, bowed slightly to Trafalgar Law who was standing outside, and then left with Peacock and the other two.

Nothing was said.

"."

Luo took a deep breath and went into the room.

His senses were disrupted by the domineering aura, making it impossible for him to pinpoint his companion's exact location and thus preventing him from using his abilities to move his partner.

There was no other way but to take the risk.

Encountering the maid at this moment confirmed one thing for him: the powerful figure in the room was Goode, and the maid had been by Goode's side almost the entire time.

The good news is that Good is easier to talk to than Golden Lion, so perhaps he can win back his partner through negotiation or other means.

The bad news is that the opponent is even stronger than the Golden Lion, not only in terms of strength but also in terms of influence.

As long as one is in the New World, there is no way to escape the pursuit of all beasts.

Luo walked into the room and saw Goode sitting on Bepo. His eyes immediately turned red and veins bulged on his face.

That was his first-class seat!!!
Trafalgar Law.

Goode smiled and pointed to the sofa.

"sit down."

"."

Luo remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on Goode's buttocks and Bepo, his resentment growing at a visible rate.

"captain!"

Bepo, with tears in his eyes, turned his head away.

I'm sorry, Captain!

Goode understood what Luo meant.

"You care a lot about this bear?"

That's a spot that belongs only to me!

Luo spoke in a cold voice.

He would absolutely not give up the first-class seat!

"."

Good was speechless.

So that's what you care about!

Where did that quirk come from?

He was complaining that the bear's fur was too stiff and it was making his butt itchy.

Goode got up speechlessly, sat on the soft sofa, and casually said, "Golden Lion sold your subordinates to me as a package. If you want to redeem them, you'll have to offer something of equal value."

"."

Luo frowned.

Just as he expected!
Luo raised his palm and then turned it upwards.

"Crash!"

One hundred small bags fell onto the table.

"Plop! Plop!"

Each bag was contracting and bouncing, which looked rather frightening.

Luo said in a deep voice, "These are the hearts of 100 Beehive Island pirates. I will use them to exchange for my comrades."

"Ok?"

Good was somewhat baffled.

What would I do with these hearts?

“Honeycomb Island is your territory. The 100 pirates on the island have lost their hearts. This is a matter of your reputation.”

Luo explained.

“That makes sense. I should indeed maintain order on Beehive Island, but not in this way.”

Goode nodded slowly, then shook his head.

"Trafalgar Law, wouldn't it be more appropriate to kill you, the mastermind, instead of retrieving the pirate's heart?"

"Indeed."

Luo's heart sank.

As expected of a great pirate, he's not so easily fooled.

But these are all the chips he has.

"Goodfellas, what do you want in exchange for letting my companion go?"

"This is it."

Goode sized up Luo.

He was not in a hurry for the immortality surgery.

The main reason is that there is only one Luo, and he is not comfortable letting Luo handle the operation. They haven't yet established a relationship that is worth risking their lives for.

The best way to achieve immortality is to have Vegapunk replicate the Op-Op Fruit and then feed it to an android that would never betray him. This would not only avoid any accidents but also allow for mass production.

Vegapunk can only copy Logia-type Devil Fruits, but he can copy Zoan and Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, which is even more overpowered than having a cheat code.

He values Law's potential more than the immortality surgery. Unlike the Straw Hats and Kid, Law isn't obsessed with the One Piece and could be recruited into his ranks.

"I have a plan that requires your participation."

"what's the plan?"

Luo realized he was in trouble. The man before him was no ordinary person, and the plan he was preparing must contain unimaginable dangers.

"Don't rush, you still need a partner."

Goode smiled broadly.

The bidding meeting ended in the evening.

All the islands have been leased out, with prices ranging from a billion Berries to several billion.

The fact that Beehive Island was leased to the Golden Lion ahead of time has caused dissatisfaction among many forces, especially Wang Zhi, but there is also good news.

Once the islands are leased out, the beasts will no longer provide protection; in other words, whether or not they can defend their territory is their own business.

They can fight for it violently!

However, the Beasts will reclaim the island after the contract expires. If you don't want to leave, you'll have to sign a renewal contract with the Beasts.

Unfair terms and conditions are utterly despicable.

But this time, the beasts at least carved out a considerable amount of territory, which reduced the pressure on all parties considerably, allowing them to at least get some benefits.

The reception room welcomed its second guest.

Crocodile the Sand Crocodile!

Among the guests who came this time, Crocodile's reputation and strength are among the top, and his performance in the Marineford War was quite outstanding.

Most importantly, unlike Golden Lion and others, this guy is quite shrewd and has excellent leadership skills.

"Please sit down, Crocodile."

Goode smiled and gestured.

Crocodile sat down, glanced at Trafalgar Law sitting next to him, and looked somewhat displeased.

What level are we on equal footing with?

Noticing Crocodile's disdainful gaze, Law's expression immediately turned cold, and his eyes were equally unfriendly.

"Sizzle~~"

A faint current seemed to be rising from the surface.

"Ha~ha~haha!"

Crocodile sneered: "I never expected that the famous Hoenn commander-in-chief Goode would personally come to talk business with me."

"Being a pirate is a business!"

Good asked with a smile.

"Crocodile, aren't you right?"

"That's right!"

Crocodile looked surprised, not expecting Goode to share his opinion, which changed his opinion of Goode considerably.

That's right, being a pirate is a business!
Goode narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Crocodile, I’ve heard about your work in Alabasta. Your goal is to build a utopia, right?”

"Yes."

Crocodile nodded slowly.

His ideal plan was to establish a military superpower that was not controlled by any force, which required overwhelming power.

Weapons = Power!

Beasts is the largest weapons supplier in the New World and can provide his ideal world with a huge number of weapons, which is why he accepted Goode's invitation to meet.

Goode said calmly.

"I can help you build your ideal world!"

"Funds, weapons, territory—I have it all!"

"."

Crocodile's pupils constricted.

"What's the price?"

"The price, huh?"

Goodmore stroked his chin: "After all, it's a pirate business. Since I've invested money and weapons, I'm considered a shareholder of Utopia, right?"

"."

Crocodile frowned.

He's not working for someone else!
"Haha, don't worry, I won't get involved in the specific management. Utopia is yours, no, it should be said that it belongs to all of you!"

Goode's eyes were sharp.

"Crocodile, you alone cannot build Utopia, so I have a proposal!"

"You will be the president of the club, and we will form a pirate alliance!"

"Luo is the teammate I found for you!"

Crocodile looked at Law, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

This guy?

"Want to fight? Crocodile King!"

Transparent circles floated out of Luo's hand.

"If you dare look at me like that again, I'll kill you!"

"Ha~ha~haha!"

Crocodile gave a sinister laugh, and an image of a straw hat flashed through his mind.

"Let's give it a try and see how strong these kids from the Worst Generation really are!"
