One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 322 Use the Flame Fist on the Enemy!

Egherd, the lower island.

Artillery fire roared.

The World Government launched a Buster Call, but this time the goal was not to eliminate the enemy, but to destroy the island's technological facilities and researchers.

Even if it's completely destroyed, Hoenn won't gain any useful technology; that's Satan's intention.

Research and development level.

Vegapunk observed the war below through the screen, and his emotions erupted the moment he saw the Buster Call activated.

Why do this?!

Vegapunk was heartbroken.

Egherd is the future of humanity, a hub of the world's most cutting-edge scientific research. If it is destroyed, technological progress will be set back a hundred years.

As a scientist, nothing could be more heartbreaking for him.

Stussy reminded him from the side, "Doctor, what we should do now is to separate a portion of the Mother Flame as soon as possible. Good needs the power of the Mother Flame!"

"I know."

Vegapunk looked at the fusion reactor.

He didn't know how Goode was going to use the Motherfire, but things had progressed to this point and a decisive force was needed.

But it will take a little more time!
In the center of the battlefield.

Goode casually detonated a shell.

"What a pity that so many technological facilities were destroyed so easily. Kizaru, you must be heartbroken too."

"."

Kizaru turned his head.

Don't ask him about this kind of thing.

"Crack!"

A massive black lightning bolt suddenly appeared!
Goode's gaze shifted to the magic circle that appeared alongside the black lightning, from which black, mud-like substances were gushing forth.

"They've finally arrived, Five Elders."

Soon, the black mud coalesced and took shape.

"Five Elders" Satan Saint - Ox-Demon Form!
The menacing eye was fixed on Goode.

The next moment, two magic circles appeared on each of Satan's left and right sides, followed by the appearance of the other five elders.

The Five Elders looked down at Goode.

Last time at Upside Down Mountain, the terrain limited their ability to maneuver, but this time they had a large enough battlefield.

We absolutely cannot let Goode escape!

"Kizaru, go to the research and development area!"

"understand!"

Kizaru turned into light and left.

Goode did not stop him; he had already arranged an opponent for Kizaru, who could also easily reach the research and development level.

"The arrival of five stars, what a grand spectacle!"

Goode looked around and quickly transformed into Groudon, whose size was even larger than that of the Five Elders.

"boom!"

Its powerful claws crushed the house.

Seeing that none of the Five Elders had left and that they were all filled with murderous intent, Goode laughed loudly: "Hehehe, it seems you really want to kill me, huh? Perfect, that's what I was thinking too!"

"."

The Five Elders' gazes were icy.

Having already clashed with him before, they knew very well how troublesome Goode's stance was, especially his formidable defense.

"Fight with all your might!"

Needless to say, killing the opponent requires going all out.

The boar that Vochuri Saint had transformed into launched the first attack, its four enormous tusks turning into incredibly sharp razors as it charged toward Goode!

The others also took action.

"Hehehe, come on!"

Flames ignited in Goode's eyes, and the temperature around him soared at an alarming rate, even distorting the atmosphere.

"Pfft!" The tree burst into flames.

Immediately afterwards, the ground glowed with an orange-red heat, steel turned into molten liquid, and everything within dozens of meters around was melting and burning.

The most terrifying thing was that the patterns on its body gradually began to glow.

The clouds dispersed, and the sun shone brightly overhead!
The scorching sunlight shone down, causing the Five Elders' bodies to emit wisps of smoke, as if their bodies were about to be set on fire.

"The weather has changed!"

"It's so dry, unlike before!"

"What's going on?"

Satan looked up at the sky.

He could sense that the weather in Rizhao this time was completely different from the past. Even they felt parched and their bodies felt like they were being roasted in a furnace.

"Could this be the place of the end?!"

The legend of Groudon mentions the Land of the End, where it is said that after Groudon evolves into the realm of the gods, it can cause supernatural phenomena that surpass even a clear day.

According to legend, Groudon defeated the evil sea god Kyogre in this form, but there's no illustration of anything special about it on the walls of the Hoenn community.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Volcholis was the fastest to charge, sensing danger immediately.

Previously at Reverse Mountain, Goode had also melted the earth, but the temperature and speed were definitely not as fast as they are now.

Moreover, Goode's appearance has also changed significantly. The original black markings on his body have turned into a bright orange-red, flowing like lava, and the brown skin and white spikes on his abdomen have all turned black.

Danger!

Vocuri was horrified, but he had already launched his charge and, in his current boar-like form, could not and would not stop.

The only option is to speed it up!
"Ow!!!"

The wild boar roared and nudged Goode.

Flames erupted from Goode's right fist.

After obtaining the Flame-Flame Fruit, he fed it to Groudon, and relying on the natural power granted by the fruit, he finally achieved Primal Reversion.

However, the Flame-Flame Fruit is, after all, a Devil Fruit, and converting natural energy requires physical strength, so it can only be maintained for about three minutes. If there is intense fighting, the time will be shortened.

But it's enough.

In a true life-or-death battle, unless the two sides are extremely evenly matched, it doesn't take too long to determine a winner.

The outcome hinges on a single move!
Then, let's use the Flame Fist on the enemy!
Goode took two steps in three, leaping towards the wild boar. The flames on his right paw contracted, becoming as dazzling as a small sun.

"Flame Fist!!!"

"Bang!!!"

The fiery fist shattered the giant tusk and slammed into the boar's cheek with undiminished force, smashing the boar's head apart with its immense power and melting half of its skull in the intense heat!

A punch even more terrifying than "Ghost Dog"!
"Ouch!!!!"

The wild boar landed with a mournful cry, crushing numerous scientific research facilities with its massive body, and the ground shook violently.

"Saint Vochuli!"

The other five elders looked at Saint Vocholl.

Vocuri Saint's head was twisted beyond recognition, but this injury was nothing serious and would heal in a short time.

Worse still, the half of Goode's head that had been punched through was emitting a bright orange-red light from the opening, melting everything inside and continuing to burn.

"It hurts!"

The wild boar was rolling around on the ground in agony, clearly in extreme pain.

"What a terrifying attack! Even the defenses of Saint Vochuli couldn't withstand it!"

The five elders felt a chill run down their spines.

By now, they have long understood that they cannot rely entirely on their immortality, and that their opponents must have found a way to counter it.

But the power that Goode displayed at this moment was truly beyond their expectations. Even the strongest defender among them, Vochuli Saint, was defeated.

It has already exceeded the limits of humanity!
This instilled fear in them, the first time in their lives they had felt fear since facing Lord Im!

"What, aren't you going to attack?"

Goode gazed at the Five Elders.

He's consuming a lot of energy every second now, and it won't be long before the "chest indicator light" gives him a warning. There's no time to take it slow.

Then go out on your own initiative!
