One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 52: 70% is mine!
The City of Flowers, the City of Generals.

A month has passed since the annihilation of Shutenmaru's group, and General Orochi held a banquet as usual.

All the elites went there, including Kyoshiro.

"Shuten Pill"

Kyoshiro stood beneath Orochi Castle, gazing at the hanging corpse of Shutenmaru in the distance, his fist clenched tightly beneath his sleeve.

patience!
He felt immense guilt and anger for failing to save Shutenmaru, but given the circumstances, he had to prioritize his own safety.

That night, he disguised himself as Ugly Duckling and revealed a weakness in his battle with Kaido's daughter, for which he had already prepared to escape.

But a month passed and nothing unusual happened to Hana, and Orochi General never suspected him.

My worries finally subsided.

He had a special mission to attend the banquet.

"Good!"

A murderous intent flashed in Kyoshiro's eyes.

Just a few days ago, Fu Lu Shou secretly contacted him and informed him about the distribution of the bandit suppression funds. The main purpose of this banquet was to get Gu De to hand over the money.

The snake made him accompany him in order to put pressure on Goode. If Goode planned to take all the anti-bandit funds for himself, then he would kill Goode!

Just as he wanted!

"Hey, isn't this Boss Kyoshiro?"

A greeting came from behind.

It's Goode!
Kyoshiro's heart surged with murderous intent, but his face remained smiling as he turned to face Goode, showing no sign of anything amiss.

"Good brothers, it's been a long time."

"It did take quite a long time."

Goode was filled with emotion.

"When I first came to the Flower Capital, I was very grateful to Boss Kyoshiro for taking care of me. He gave me money and people. I will never forget his kindness."

"Hehe, it was just a small favor, no need to worry about it."

Kyoshiro smiled politely, but inwardly he was cursing.

This bastard not only cheated him out of his money, but also swindled the girls in his shop. Although he paid a large sum of money to buy their freedom, it caused the shop's business to plummet.

Where could he find so many high-quality courtesans in such a short time? If it weren't for Xiao Zi in charge, his shop would have had to close down.

And there's also the deep-seated grudge against Shutenmaru!

Aside from Kaido and Orochi, the person he most wants to kill right now is Good!

Kyoshiro's eyes shifted, looking at the dozen or so subordinates behind Goode and the treasure chests they were carrying on their shoulders.

"Brother Goode, you've prepared a great gift for General Orochi."

"We can't come here empty-handed, since it's a rare opportunity."

Goode smiled and patted the treasure chest.

After deducting the money for rewarding and compensating the bandit-suppressing troops from the nearly 300,000 gold coins, 280,000 gold coins remained.

They're all here.

We still need to maintain appearances.

"Shall we go up together?"

"it is good."

Inside the banquet hall, singing and dancing filled the air.

All the elites of Wano Country were present, each with a smile on their face, flattering General Orochi.

"Hehehe, I'm so happy today."

The giant snake had a rosy complexion and was constantly smiling.

After a month of anxious anticipation, the day had finally arrived. The thought of eliminating two major threats filled him with immense excitement.

Kyoshiro and Good!

The two fought fiercely and died together.

How pleasant it sounds!

"Kyoshiro, the boss, is here!"

As Kyoshiro entered, the dignitaries rose to their feet to warmly welcome him. As the number one swordsman in the Flower Capital, Kyoshiro's status was second only to Orochi.

Many people also looked at Goode, who had come with them, and frowned, some even showing disgust.

Although they are allies, the barbaric pirates are never reasonable and often cause them trouble, which they are powerless to change.

Over time, they naturally came to dislike pirates.

"Kyoshiro, and Good!"

The giant snake's eyes lit up when it saw the two of them.

"Hehehe, I've been waiting for you all! Come and drink with me!"

"Thank you, General Serpent." Goode sat down beneath the serpent, leisurely sipping his wine while observing the dignitaries and nobles present.

They all deserve to die!

After three rounds of drinking.

The giant snake stood up and said with a chuckle, "Hehehe, it's too noisy here. Good, let's go to the side room and continue drinking. Kyoshiro, you come too."

"Since the general has invited me, I will certainly follow."

Goode got up and followed.

The three of them went to the side hall, where the environment immediately became much quieter.

The banquet table had already been prepared.

Kyoshiro sat cross-legged in the corner and said with a smile, "Lord Orochi, you and Mr. Goode have something to talk about, so I won't join in. I'll just sit here."

"Hehehe, whatever you want."

The giant snake did not force the issue.

The matter of dividing the money is equally important.

The Fire Festival is in two or three months, when Kaido will return. He needs to prepare this year's offerings in advance.

"Come, drink."

Orochi poured Goode a drink and started a conversation, saying, "Goode, I heard you captured a powerful pirate?"

"Yes."

Goode nodded, then sighed.

"Unfortunately, my subordinates failed to supervise him properly, and that guy escaped."

"Ran away?"

The giant snake was stunned for a moment.

According to the intelligence he received, that group of pirates was no ordinary group, so how could they be allowed to escape so easily? However, considering the current defenses of Onigashima, it was to be expected.

"Hehehe, let's not talk about anything that's unpleasant."

Orochi didn't mind; he only brought it up to lighten the mood. What he really wanted to talk about was what was coming next.

"Good, about the money for suppressing the bandits?"

"General, please rest assured, I have come to the banquet for this very reason."

Goode smiled slightly and clapped his hands.

Upon receiving the signal, the pirates immediately carried the heavy treasure chests through the door and opened them all.

The brilliance of gold is captivating.

"Hehehe, good, good, good!"

The giant snake laughed heartily and waved to Goode's subordinates.

"You all go down."

"and many more!"

Goode raised his hand to stop him, his gaze serious.

"General, we haven't even discussed how to divide the money yet. How can we let them leave? Even if they have to go out, they should take my share with them."

"Yes, that's right, let's talk about money first!"

The giant snake realized that it had gotten too excited and almost forgot how greedy the guy in front of it was. When it came to money, this guy would absolutely cling to it and never let go.

Goode smiled broadly and took out his abacus.

"General, the total cost of suppressing the bandits is 300,000 gold. After deducting your initial investment of 100,000 and expenses, there is 180,000 left. We will split it according to our previous agreement of 30/70."

"Let me calculate, it's 30% of 180,000."

"5.4 gold!"

"Including the principal, the total is 15.4 gold!"

Goode pushed the abacus in front of the giant snake, his smile growing even brighter: "General, you are entitled to a total of 15.4 gold coins. Please take a look."

"."

The giant snake's smile vanished at a visible speed, its eyes fixed on Goode: "Brother Goode, are you mistaken? How come I only get 30%?!"

"That's right!"

Goode looked very serious.

"General, you may have misunderstood something!"

"Of the 30/70 split we agreed on, 30% is yours."

"Seventy percent remaining!"

Goode pointed to himself and spoke softly.

"its mine!"
