One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 289 Bounty on the Navy!

The simplest way for pirates to respect each other is to fight; strength will determine who has the right to speak.

Luo looked coldly at Crocodile, knowing very well that the other party was underestimating him, which was exactly one of the things he could not tolerate the most.

After entering the new world, his strength increased several times over, and he had long been looking forward to taking down a heavyweight opponent.

The atmosphere was tense.

"If you want to fight, then fight in private!"

Goode's gaze turned cold, and his almost tangible Conqueror's Haki made the air feel incredibly heavy, as if one were in the deep sea.

"Crack!"

The wall is cracked!

The two arguing men suddenly felt heavy, as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs, and their eyes were filled with shock as they looked at Goode.

They had heard of Goode's power, but experiencing it firsthand was another matter, especially Crocodile, whose mind subconsciously recalled the scene of his first fight with Whitebeard.

Goode's expression softened slightly.

“I know you don’t trust each other, nor do you need to. The pirate alliance I had you form is essentially just an empty shell company. What I need is the company’s name.”

“Providing you with funds and weapons is my reward to you. If you really want to run your ideal world well, I will not interfere; that is your own business.”

They provide money and supplies, and there are no restrictions.

Without a doubt, this is a very worthwhile deal.

With Goode's support, their power will grow rapidly, and they will no longer be a lone commander and a small pirate crew.

Crocodile was tempted.

After his failure in Alabasta, he now only has Mr. 1 following him, and the difficulty of rebuilding his ideal world is self-evident, but he is unwilling to remain unknown.

By utilizing the resources of all the beasts, I will realize my ideal world plan!
Luo was also tempted.

According to his original plan, he intended to use this incident to exchange one hundred pirate hearts for the position of Shichibukai, and then take revenge on Doflamingo.

But that doesn't mean you have to take this path.

His ultimate goal is to kill Doflamingo; as long as he can achieve this goal, the method he uses is not important.

Goode's alliance plan will allow him to quickly gain a foothold in the New World, and the effect will be no worse than becoming a Shichibukai. Besides, his companions are all in Goode's hands, and he needs to agree to Goode's conditions in order to rescue them.

Absolutely feasible!

But there is still a core issue.

Crocodile and Law spoke at the same time.

What do you want to do using the company's name?

"Bounty offered to the navy."

Goode spoke calmly.

"Bounty offered by the Navy?!"

The two were stunned.

This is unheard of!

"What, it's weird?"

Goode explained slowly and methodically.

"From ancient times to the present, it has always been the navy that captures us pirates and puts bounties on our heads, but no one has stipulated that pirates cannot put bounties on the navy!"

"I'd like to try that."

"We pirates have countless strong members, but we are too disorganized and hostile to each other, which is why we are suppressed by the Navy and can't even raise our heads. But if the pirates have a common goal, perhaps some interesting sparks can be ignited!"

"Gentlemen, times are changing. The roles of Marines and pirates are about to be reversed, and pirates will also be able to hunt Marines!"

"Even to overthrow the world government!"

Goode's eyes were cold.

The Hoenn government is controlling the North Blue, which has greatly affected the profits of pirates in the New World. Therefore, it needs to provide pirates with new sources of income.

Secondly, the Hoenn government is still in its development stage and will not engage in a bloody battle with the World Government for the time being. Therefore, he plans to integrate the power of the pirates to put pressure on the World Government.

Forming a pirate alliance and offering bounties to the Navy is undoubtedly a good method. When even the most impoverished people who can't survive participate, it can effectively shake the morale of the Navy.

He could also bring in the emperors of the underworld to invest in the pirate alliance, a deal that many forces would likely be interested in.

Most importantly, this will change the comfortable living environment of the world government and the navy, giving them a significant boost.

Crocodile and Law were filled with gloom.

Offering a bounty to the Navy is no simple matter; they would become a thorn in the Navy's side. Although it's hard to admit, their influence alone makes it impossible.

However, one thing must be acknowledged: if this matter is accomplished, they will instantly become a powerful organization no less than the Four Emperors!
"We can't do it on our own, can we?"

"Of course not enough."

Goode nodded slightly.

"You need to find teammates, the more famous the better!"

"For example, the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Below the Four Emperors, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are arguably the strongest pirate force. If they could be united, even the World Government would have to take them seriously.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to destroy the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, so the World Government naturally wanted to have as few cards to play as possible.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea

Crocodile's mind conjured up a funny guy.

"Thousand Taels Transformed" Pakistan!
That guy still owed him a lot of money.

If we are to build an ideal world, this debt must be repaid, and there are some decent fighters among Bucky's men.

Having money alone is not enough; he needs a sufficient number of people.

Also, although Bucky is a good-for-nothing, he is more famous than him. Bucky Delivery is now a hot force in the New World.

Law was thinking of Doflamingo.

But not to win him over, but to eliminate him!
As for other powerful individuals, the only ones he could think of were his contemporaries from the worst era.

"That's all for now. I need to go and get some investment for you guys. You can discuss how to build the pirate alliance first, and then we can figure out the specifics of the bounty on the Navy later. I'll also help you find some teammates."

Goode got up and left.

Many of the emperors of the underworld have come to this island trade fair, which is a good opportunity to attract investment, not only to save money, but also to bind the interests of all parties together.

As for whether the two will agree, you can tell the answer just by looking at their expressions.

There's one more small matter to take care of.

Goode went to another room.

Speed ​​had been waiting for a long time.

"Lord Goode, we haven't captured the navy who were trying to rescue people yet, but all the nobles and hostages from the Kingdom of Koya have been brought back."

The entire ship of the Kingdom of Koya was hijacked. There were at least five hundred nobles and commoners on board, and with only one naval officer providing cover, it was impossible for them to escape.

"Still haven't caught them?"

Goode was somewhat surprised, not expecting the other party to escape: "You're quite capable, aren't you? What's that officer's name?"

"Navy Lieutenant Commander, Coby."

Speed ​​replied.

During the search, they discovered the Navy's identity.

"Huh? Koby?"

Goode paused for a moment.

Kobi?

Garp's beloved disciple?
Goode narrowed his eyes.

"Speed, take all the hostages to the port tomorrow morning, separate the nobles from the commoners, and issue a public announcement that we will release one side as soon as Kobiken appears."

Hehehe, I wonder what choice the next generation of naval "heroes" will make when faced with the trolley problem!
