One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 293 The Seven Warlords of the Sea Assemble!

In just half a month, more than a dozen naval officers were assassinated, most of whom were killed by civilians.

The gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is hard to prevent.

The more righteous a military officer is, the more likely they are to be assassinated. They never imagined that civilians would plunge a blade into their hearts.

When the murderers received their bounties and published the news in the newspapers, the Cross Guild was immediately thrust into the eye of the storm!

Bucky, nicknamed "Thousand Taels of Transformation," has a bounty of 3.189 billion Berries!
"Candle Demon" Galdino has a bounty of 2.123 billion Berries.

Crocodile, with a bounty of 1.965 billion Berries.

Trafalgar Law, the "Surgeon of Death," has a bounty of 5 million Berries!
The bounties for the four core members have increased dramatically!
Meanwhile, Edward Weevil, the "second Whitebeard," was captured by the Hoenn government, and Buggy was stripped of his Shichibukai title.

In a short period of time, the Seven Warlords of the Sea lost two members.

Another rumor is circulating that Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was once defeated by the Straw Hat crew.

This has led people to question the very existence of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and it has also given the World Government a major headache, as they need to prove that the Seven Warlords of the Sea are not useless.

Another mandatory recall order has been issued!
On the other side, in Wano Country.

"Hehe, transformation!"

The priest performed his transformation talent, transforming into Hancock's appearance and even imitating Hancock by flipping up her long hair.

"I am the most beautiful!"

"Oh, that's right!"

Goode's eyes lit up with hearts, but he quickly realized what was happening.

The tone and expression were exactly the same!
Can I transform into a giant?

"A giant? I'll give it a try!"

The palace chief thought of Gertz.

"Oh!"

"Ouch!"

Gong Si (Goltz) clutched his head, tears welling in his eyes from the pain.

I hit the ceiling.

But they did indeed become giants.

The priest arched his arms and exclaimed with delight, "Lord Goode, I feel so strong right now!"

"what."

Goode was somewhat surprised.

Will I gain corresponding powers after transforming?
If that's the case, the Nine-Tailed Fruit is even more powerful than we imagined.

"Let's test it out."

Good brought Gong Si to the gym, where they set up barbells and other equipment. Soon, the woman was covered in sweat from exhaustion.

The priest held up a barbell, his face full of resentment.

"Lord Goode!"

"Try transforming into Yamato again!"

Good urged.

Miyaji put down the extra-large barbell, and with a "thump," it became a Yamato, feeling a significant increase in strength.

Pick up the barbell and spin it in your hands.

"Wow, I'm so amazing!"

Gong Si stared wide-eyed, unable to believe he possessed such strength. However, the next moment, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and his body fell straight to the ground.

"thump!"

Landed face down.

The girl transformed into a little fox, lying limply on the ground like a dumpling, unable to lift even a paw, her entire body aching terribly.

"Is your stamina lacking?"

Goode grabbed the little fox by the neck, lifted it up, and shook it a few times. The little fox was as weak as a noodle, with no strength at all.

It can transform into other people and possess their physical strength, but unfortunately, its endurance is quite poor, and it can only last for a short while.

But this wasn't a matter of ability; rather, it was because the priest himself was physically weak.

Even so, it's still quite impressive to give someone who isn't good at fighting a brief period of explosive power.

The palace guard offered only weak resistance.

"Lord Goode, please don't poke my face."

"And don't touch my waist."

"And don't rub my butt!"

"Hey? Why are you lifting my tail?!"

"Waaaaah X﹏X～～"

After playing with it for a while, Goode was satisfied.

Its abilities are quite interesting, and it hasn't been fully developed yet. According to the legend of the Nine-Tails, it should have other powers, such as charm and illusion.

Most importantly, it feels pretty good to use! Chikara arrived at the gym.

"Lord Goode, the World Government has summoned the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and it is very likely that they are going to take action against the Cross Guild."

"Ah."

Goode rubbed the little fox, pondering matters concerning the Cross Guild.

It is inevitable that the Navy will want to eliminate the Cross Guild. The impact of the bounty on the Navy will only intensify. Once trust collapses, it will be fatal for the Navy.

Marines are fighting on the front lines, but they are being betrayed from behind. Anyone would find that hard to bear, especially the lower-ranking marines.

They will waver in their belief in justice.

Once an organization loses its beliefs, the consequence is disintegration.

Furthermore, Crocodile and Law alone are unlikely to withstand the Navy's offensive; they need reinforcements.

The question is who to send.

The Cross Guild is a pirate organization, and one of the Four Emperors, so it's not convenient for the Beasts to get involved, nor is it appropriate for the Hoenn government to intervene.

If Buggy really had the power of a Yonko, things would be much easier.

Goode pondered for a long time.

"Chikara, contact Hancock and Jinbe and have them go to the Cross Guild. If Hancock is unwilling, tell them it was my request."

"Ok."

Chika hesitated for a moment.

"Lord Goode, Jinpei."

"Make him leave the Hoenn Navy."

Now that Hoenn no longer lacks combat power, and Jinbe, who used to be a pirate, is not really suitable to stay in Hoenn, even if he has a good reputation.

We need to let him shine.

With the addition of Hancock, the Cross Guild now has four Shichibukai-level fighters, giving them a fighting chance even if the Navy deploys an Admiral.

It would be great if we could recruit the other Seven Warlords of the Sea, especially Hawkeye. With him, the Cross Guild would be complete.

Grand Line, Kuraigana Island.

In the castle.

"It's done!"

Perona, carrying a freshly made hamburger, happily flew to Hawkeye's room. She was taken aback when she saw Hawkeye's furrowed brows and curiously approached him.

"what is this?"

"A call to arms from the World Government."

Hawkeye closed the letter.

He had heard about the Cross Guild, but did not want to get involved. However, this time he was being forced to participate.

If you refuse, you will be stripped of your title.

Another problem is that now only he, Gecko Moria, Doflamingo, and Kuma remain of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

There aren't many people left.

Apart from Kuma, they generally don't obey the World Government's orders. If they weren't forcibly summoned, probably none of them would go.

The Cross Guild's act of offering a bounty on the navy was too suspicious, and it was hard to say that there was no mastermind behind it. He did not want to get involved in the political struggle.

Hawkeye looked at Perona.

“Gekko Moria will be going too, you can go back to him now.”

"Lord Moria!"

Perona was overjoyed.

She was spotted here by Big Bear and stayed there temporarily, only to later learn that it was Hawkeye's residence.

After the Marineford War, she wanted to return to the Devil's Triangle to find Moria, but there was only Hawkeye's small boat on the island, and no Log Pose.

I can't go back for the time being.

Now, I can finally go find Lord Moria.

Perona suddenly remembered something and pointed out the window: "What will happen to that idiot if we all leave?"

"Don't worry about him."

Hawkeye shook his head.

He taught me everything he needed to; from now on, I'll have to rely on myself for my own spiritual practice.

"Get ready to go."

"Huh? So fast!"

"By the way, would you like a hamburger?"

"Don't eat."

"What! You're as unlovable as ever!"
