One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 318 Worldwide water levels rise by one meter!
Holy Land, Marie Gioia.

"Mu is to activate the [Mother Flame]!"

"The Kingdom of Lulucia!"

"Because it's close!"

The Mother Flame has been delivered to the Holy Land, but without using it once, it cannot be verified whether the Mother Flame is genuine.

Additionally, it cannot be used on Hoenn for the time being.

It is still in the experimental stage, so it is best not to alert them. Even if it is successful, we need to ensure that we can mass-produce the Mother Flame before we can start a war against Hoenn.

Dark clouds loom over the Kingdom of Lulucia.

Even the animals on the island felt fear and desperately tried to flee off the island, but to no avail.

Countless beams of light descended from the sky!

"No!"

Under the horrified gaze of the people, everything was destroyed until the beam of light stopped and the entire island vanished.

A huge crater appeared in the sea.

"What the hell is this?!"

Sabo collapsed to the ground in horror, his hair soaked with cold sweat.

In just a moment, the entire island was completely annihilated, leaving no trace. Such a terrifying sight was beyond his comprehension.

The other companions and the people of the Kingdom of Lulusia who left with them were all terrified.

Many people knelt down in despair; many of their families were still on the island, and they perished at sea along with the island.

It took Sabo a long time to recover. He roared, covered in sweat, "Return to base immediately! I want to see Dragon! No, I want to see Commander Goode!"

"Yes!"

The ship immediately turned around and headed towards the North Sea.

In the following days.

East China Sea, North China Sea, West China Sea
Earthquakes and tsunamis of varying magnitudes have occurred in all seas around the world, and sea levels continue to rise.

Goode, far away in the New World, was also affected.

Groudon was violently tossed about in the waves.

“Ugh~~”

Goode lay on the side of the boat, exhaling rainbows into the sea. He was already a little seasick, and now he felt even worse, as if he were on a roller coaster.

Qikara gripped the rope and reported loudly.

"Lord Goode, news has come from the Hoenn headquarters that earthquakes and tsunamis have occurred all over the world, and water levels are continuing to rise."

"worldwide?!"

Goode's gaze sharpened, and he instantly sensed that something was wrong.

"Head to the nearest island immediately!"

"Yes!"

Groudon sailed at high speed and soon arrived at an uninhabited island.

Goode jumped off the ship, plunged his hand into the ground, and his consciousness rapidly extended underground, reaching the Earth's core.

The earth's veins are out of balance!
After a long while, Goode raised his head.

"Ancient weapons!"

He could sense that the planet's ley lines were in disarray, albeit very slightly. But even the slightest symptom on a planet was enough to plunge the world into disaster.

A massive earthquake struck the entire world!
If I'm not mistaken, the root cause of this massive earthquake is the Celestial Dragons' ancient weapon, powerful enough to destroy an entire island in one strike.

That's something that humans can't withstand.

"The Mother Flame has been successfully developed?!"

Good immediately thought of the Mother Flame.

Only by obtaining the Mother Flame can the Celestial Dragons have the energy to activate the Ancient Weapons, which means that the development of the Mother Flame has been successful.

It has been about a year and a half since the Marineford War. Under pressure, the Seraphim were successfully put into use, so it is normal that the research and development of the Mother Flame was completed a few months ahead of schedule.

"Chikara, head to the entertainment district!"

"Yes!"

The earthquake lasted for six days before finally subsiding, but sea levels worldwide rose by one meter, and many low-lying islands were largely submerged. This bizarre situation left the world bewildered.

The New World, Egerhead.

My prediction has come true!

Vegapunk stared at the data report and slumped into his chair.

According to his speculation, during the blank 100-year period, the sea level rose by 200 meters, an anomaly that could not have been caused by a natural disaster.

Therefore, he concluded that the war caused the sea level to rise, and only legendary ancient weapons could have caused such an effect!
The recent global earthquake, coupled with rising sea levels, has definitively confirmed his hypothesis: the stolen portion of the Mother Fire must have been used in ancient weapons.

He became the sinner who destroyed the world.

But that's not the most important thing. According to his prediction, the sea will continue to rise until it submerges the entire world!
According to historical records, the only person who could save the world was that legendary liberation fighter.

【Sun God Nika】!
Or, to put it another way, "Joy Boy".

However, the world has changed.

"Earth God" Goode!
The other party also possesses the power to face the ocean and submerge the world, but at present, it is difficult to judge the upper limit of its ability; perhaps it can only save a small portion of humanity.

What should I do?

Vegapunk entered the Fusion Reactor room and gazed at his greatest invention.

Flames were burning inside the fusion furnace.

Mother Flame!
The stolen Mother Flame was only a small part of the Mother Flame; the Mother Flame before us is the true core.

It is foreseeable that someone will come to fight for this mother flame, and his life is likely to come to an end.

"PhD!"

Researchers have found the Bega Punk.

"People from CP5 have come to the island to confirm some things with you."

"I see."

Vegapunk nodded silently.

New World, the sea area near the entertainment district.

The Groudon came into contact with the flower boat.

Inside the ship's cabin.

"Good."

Stussy was pale.

"I just received orders from the Five Elders to assassinate Vegapunk. Besides me, other CP0 agents will also be going."

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Goode smiled slightly.

After waiting for so long, the Mother Flame has finally been successfully developed. Once he obtains that thing, he can show the World Government what true terror is.

Stussy felt a little better.

She knew Egherd well, so she was needed for this assassination mission to break through Egherd's defenses.

Goode rested his chin on his hands.

"I'm going to Egherd next, and I need you to come with me. Just ignore CP0."

"But."

Stussy hesitated for a moment.

This would expose her undercover identity. In her opinion, it would be best to work with her CP0 colleagues, and if necessary, she could take them down.

Furthermore, if she disobeys orders, wouldn't the World Government notice something amiss and send in more troops?

"It doesn't matter."

Good shook his head slightly.

He knew Stussy's concerns, but this time he was prepared to go himself. He didn't need Stussy's combat power; it was more important for him to guide him and make contact with Gapunk, so as to avoid unnecessary battles.

In addition, the Celestial Dragons were also waiting for this day to come. Even if Stussy continued to infiltrate, what was bound to happen would happen. They couldn't just send a few CP0s and then leave it at that, especially after they had monitored his movements.

Therefore, he hopes that more Celestial Dragons will come this time!
Goode extended his palm.

"Oh!"

Flames erupted from his palm!
