One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 35 Don't you consider the occasion when you speak?
The next day, early in the morning.

"Wow, so comfortable!"

Yamato opened his eyes, stretched comfortably, and looked at the empty room, a question mark popping into his head.

Did I fall asleep again while taking a bath last night?

Lately, I've been working in the White Dance area during the day and going home for dinner and a bath in the evening, but I can't seem to remember what happens after I take a bath.

I guess he's asleep again.

"Gululu~~"

"So hungry!"

Without giving it any more thought, Yamato dressed quickly and headed straight for Goode's room, opening the door directly.

"Good, I'm hungry—"

The next moment, the girl saw the messy scene in the room.

Goode was lying naked on the tatami mat, with three naked women on top of him.

"Oh!"

The door was pulled tightly shut.

Yamato cupped his cheeks, his head rapidly heating up like a boiled lobster, soon steaming.

It looks like I've seen something incredible!
After making the hot spring shop her home, the girl often played with the older women in the shop. She had come to understand the adult world and knew that the older women in the shop all admired Goode and wished they could offer themselves to her.

She had previously peeked at Goode and Butterfly fighting when she got up to pee at night, but she didn't understand what she was seeing.

But as she got to know him better, a new world gradually opened up to her.

The girl's eyes were sparkling.

Or, shall we take another look?
Like a thief, Yamato crept up to the door, carefully opened a crack, and peeked inside.

His rock-like pectoral muscles obscured his view.

"what is this?"

The girl subconsciously reached out and poked it.

So hard!
Goode opened the door with a look of utter exasperation.

Yamato stiffly raised his head, saw Goode's dark face, quickly withdrew his fingers, and gave a silly smile.

Good morning!

"Oh!"

The man's fist slammed into the girl's head.

After a while.

The girl had a large, swollen bump on her head, and she was slurping up delicious buckwheat noodles with great effort. A large tear was hanging from the corner of each of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"Humph."

Goode snorted coldly.

If it weren't for this girl, he wouldn't have had so much anger to vent.

After finishing breakfast, the girl regained her energy and raised her arms with great enthusiasm, wanting to show off her strength.

"Haha, let's get to work!"

"We have other things to do today, so we don't need to go to Baiwu to work."

A bucket of cold water was poured over the girl.

"Not going to work?"

Yamato's eyes widened immediately.

How can you not go to work!

Mixing mortar, moving stones, and building walls.
How joyful it is to work!

Besides, so many of her fellow workers are waiting for her. Without her help, who will move those huge rocks?

Yamato glared at Goode: "Why can't I do any work? I want to work! I want to break the ash! I want to move the stones!"

"."

Goode remained silent.

This girl must have gone crazy from working so hard.

No normal person enjoys their job.

Do you know how hard you work?
Wait, it looks like he's the boss!

That's fine.

Goode smiled broadly: "We have something important to do today. Don't worry, I'll arrange double the amount for you tomorrow, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Really? Okay then."

Yamato was overjoyed.

Great, double the work!
Thinking of the gradually magnificent city that was being built on the construction site, the girl immediately puffed out her chest with pride, for she had contributed her efforts!
"Good, where are we going?"

"Orochi City!"

Moments later, beneath the Great Serpent Castle.

The girl, who was originally full of energy, was now listless.

"This is where Oden died."

"Yes."

Goode nodded in agreement, while simultaneously delivering the finishing blow.

"He also danced nude here for five years."

"Good!"

The girl immediately bristled and glared at Goode.

"Don't you know when you're speaking?!"

Goode shrugged.

He was just telling the truth.

"Yamato, if you want to become a better person, you can't just see the good things about others; you also have to accept their flaws."

"Let's go, our guests are waiting for us."

"Humph!"

Yamato angrily turned his head away, and after Goode left, he quickly followed behind Goode, angrily pulling at the corners of his eyes and sticking out his tongue.

Ptooey, ptooey, you big bad guy!
Inside Orochi Castle, presumably to show how much importance they placed on Yamato, all the remaining ninjas of the Oniwabanshu, except for Fukurokuju, were present to welcome him.

There were a total of ten ninjas.

The tall, imposing man at the head ignored Goode, who was walking ahead, and instead turned to Yamato, extending a deep invitation.

"Your Highness, please follow me."

"Oh."

Yamato looked at Goode.

She had no idea what she was there for.

"Let's go."

Goode nodded, glancing at the Oniwabanshu beside him.

Among Orochi's subordinates, the Oniwabanshu are the most elite troops, especially the ninja squad. Although there are only 11 people, each of them is a master of infiltration and assassination, and they can use techniques such as Ryuo and Flying Slash with ease.

Clearly, this was the giant snake's way of intimidating the enemy.

Goode smiled slightly, completely unconcerned.

Even if Orochi had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to openly attack them; Kaido's power of intimidation is not to be underestimated.

Of course, if open methods don't work, you can try covert ones.

This invitation is probably intended to probe their background.

Soon, the two arrived at the banquet hall.

There was no one else in the room except for a table set with the highest-grade "honzen cuisine" from Wano Country.

"Please take a seat."

The ninjas invited the two to sit down, and then vanished into the smoke without a trace.

Like a ghost.

"Ok?"

Yamato raised his head, looked at the ceiling above him, then at the oversized vase beside him, and then at the window, the walls, and the floor.
Are you playing hide-and-seek?

The ninjas hidden throughout the room broke out in a cold sweat. They had intended to scare their opponent, but they never expected that their proud escape techniques would be seen through so easily.

What a terrible intuition!

Fortunately, Yamato didn't realize their intentions and was quickly drawn to the delicious food on the table.

The girl secretly swallowed and looked at Goode.

"Can I eat it?"

"hold on."

Goode had a stern face.

The main guests haven't even arrived yet, so how can the guests start eating first?

Don't you have any manners?!

Three minutes later, the room remained quiet.

Goode, his face dark, picked up his chopsticks.

"Have a meal."

"Aren't you waiting?"

"If I tell you to eat, then eat!"

"Oh!"

Yamato eagerly picked up his chopsticks.

The dishes in Wano Country are mostly exquisite, but the portions are small. In less than a minute, the entire table of food was gone.

"Wow."

The chopsticks were left on the table.

“The taste is average.”

Goode's slightly disdainful evaluation.

Damn it, are we just leaving him hanging?
Do you really think he won't cause trouble?

"Goo-ho-ho".

The unpleasant laughter grew louder as it approached, and soon a giant snake with a huge head arrived at the banquet hall, sitting down across the table with a beaming smile.

Looking at the messy dining table, even though he had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't help but feel shocked.

Did these two come here just to eat?
Orochi's smile froze as he looked at Yamato and tried to ingratiate himself, saying, "Yamato, it's been so long since I've seen you. I even held you when you were little!"

"is it?"

Yamato tilted his head.

"Why don't I remember?"

"."

The giant snake's smile became even more stiff.

Doesn't this brat know when to speak?
