One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 6 Real Estate = Dominance!
The capital of flowers.

The streets were bustling with activity, filled with the aroma of delicious food and the shouts of vendors, making it seem like a completely different world from other impoverished towns.

Good walked alone in the middle of the street, his rugged Viking attire standing out from his surroundings.

Without a word, passersby immediately parted to the sides upon seeing him, some even avoiding eye contact.

Fear, disgust, hatred
Goode could clearly sense the various negative emotions from the reactions of passersby, and he was also very clear about how unpopular he was.

After all, the Beasts Pirates are a symbol of disaster for this country. Even if they dare not express it openly, the hatred in their hearts is unavoidable.

Goode, however, was thinking about a different problem.

Will my house be able to be rented out?

With the people so hostile to all beasts, who would dare rent his property?

The problem is serious and must be taken seriously.

Before long, Goode arrived at the outermost area of ​​the Flower Capital, which was much quieter than the bustling interior.

"Gululu~~"

A convoy of vehicles carrying household waste passed by Goode.

"It stinks! Hurry up!"

"Dump all this garbage in Jianlou Town."

"Those poor bastards love to eat garbage."

Amidst the grumbling and cursing, the convoy quickly left Flower City and headed south to Caishen Town, a few kilometers away.

Despite being called the God of Wealth Town, it's actually just a dilapidated village that survives on scraps from the Flower Capital, inhabited mainly by the elderly, women, and children.

As Goode looked in the direction the convoy had gone, and at the faintly visible Caishen Town, an idea suddenly popped into his head.

"Do business first."

Good shook his head and went to the outside of a warehouse.

An elderly man with a happy expression had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Goode, he immediately jogged over to greet him.

"Lord Goode, you've finally arrived!"

"Mr. Pinghao."

Goode nodded.

A month ago, he met the old man in front of him. The old man was a famous wealthy man in the Flower Capital who owned a lot of real estate, and the warehouse in front of him was one of them.

Recently, for some unknown reason, the other party has started selling off properties, and rumors seem to suggest it's related to that courtesan, Komurasaki Tayu.

Goode took out the money he had prepared.

The reward for capturing Yamato is 500 gold, equivalent to 5 million Berries. Of this, 30% was given to Ulti, and the remaining 50 gold was distributed among the fan club members.

The remaining 300 gold coins were exactly the amount he had agreed upon with Pinghao.

"This is 300 gold."

"Oh my, Lord Goode is so generous."

Pinghao beamed with joy and quickly took out a land deed from his pocket. After both parties verified that everything was correct, the transaction was completed in no time.

Pinghao received the money, his smile widening, eager to leave: "Lord Goode, I'll take my leave now."

"Ah."

Goode nodded slightly, his gaze strange.

This lecherous old man, could he have fallen victim to a honey trap?
That courtesan
Tsk, they're really sucking the marrow from the bone!
Goode strode into the warehouse, looked at the huge warehouse, his shoulders shrugged involuntarily, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

After nearly three months of hard work, he finally became a homeowner again, although it was just a remote warehouse, but this was only the beginning.

Getting rich is just around the corner!
"And this feeling!"

Goode clenched his fist, his eyes showing delight.

It’s domineering!
He has mastered Armament Haki!
So that's how it is! He finally understands his own path to dominance!
Owning property means having a basic guarantee for life, and this guarantee can be said to be his confidence in facing the world, which is transformed into dominance!
Convert it into a formula.

Real estate equals confidence and dominance!

Wait, if the speculation is correct, does it mean that the more properties he buys, the more domineering he becomes?
This is so happy!
"Perfect timing to test the domineering effect."

Goode's gaze turned cold, and he roared.

"Come out of here!"

"."

After a brief silence, seven or eight thin figures rushed in through the warehouse entrances and quickly surrounded Goode.

He's a ronin samurai!
Goode looked coldly at the warrior.

Although he hadn't awakened Observation Haki, he had already sensed that someone was following him, and the Groudon inside him also sensed the danger and issued multiple warnings.

"Are you just a few pieces of trash?"

Don't underestimate us!

The samurai were enraged and drew their swords.

"Kaido's lackey, today is your death day!"

"You bunch of stray dogs, worse than stray dogs, are you?"

Goode scoffed. A bunch of rats in the gutter, too cowardly to attack Ghost Island, resorting to a game of catching the lone wolf—how utterly disgraceful.

That's right. After Kozuki Oden died, the backbone of this country was completely broken. There were no more true samurai left.

Upon hearing Goode's sarcastic words, the three young warriors immediately turned red with anger and rushed forward without regard for their own safety.

"Asshole, go to hell!"

"roll!"

Goode grabbed the giant sword from the door panel and swung it horizontally with great force. The thick blade, nearly two meters long, sent the three young warriors flying, sword and all.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Screams and blood exploded in the air.

There are four people left.

The remaining four warriors' expressions changed drastically.

"Don't confront him head-on!"

Judging from Goode's physique and weapons, you can tell he's a power-type fighter; a head-on confrontation would be the most foolish way to fight him.

"Go together!"

The leading samurai gripped his sword with both hands, the blades covered with a thin layer of flowing cherry blossoms, and leaped up to slash at Goode from the front.

"Qiang!"

The blade was blocked by the greatsword!

Goode held his greatsword horizontally in front of him, sensing the special aura swirling around the opponent's blade, and knew what was going on.

It's domineering.

According to the Wano Country tradition, it can also be called Ryuo (flowing cherry blossom).

Unfortunately, its power was a bit weak.

The samurai were being hunted and forced to hide, making it difficult to even guarantee normal food and shelter, let alone maintain a strong physique.

Being able to use Haki already makes him one of the best among the remnants of the Kozuki clan.

"And us!"

While the leader was distracting Goode, two warriors launched an attack from the left and right, their blades aimed at Goode's waist.

Goode's lips curled up slightly, and he stomped his right foot on the ground, causing two stone walls to rise up and intercept the blades of the two men.

"Qiang!"

The blade struck the rock, sparking tiny sparks.

But there's still one person!
The last samurai silently crept up behind Goode, leaped up with all his might, and slashed his long sword with all his might at Goode's neck.

The leader held the enemy at the front, two others flanked them from the flanks, and a third was responsible for decapitating them. They had practiced this tactic many times before and had killed many powerful enemies.

"Successful!"

The moment the blade struck his neck, a look of vengeful joy flashed in the samurai's eyes, but then something horrifying happened.

"Crack!"

The blade broke in two!

"Ryuo!"

The enemy's neck was wrapped with flowing cherry blossoms!

"Is this your full strength?"

Goode spoke coldly, his muscles gradually swelling and tightening, and grotesque blue veins resembling small snakes appeared on the surface of his skin.

The ground began to shake violently!
The warriors looked horrified.

"Run away!"

They wanted to escape, but it was too late.

"boom!!!"

The entire warehouse exploded and collapsed, sending out large amounts of smoke and dust.

I do not know how long it has been.

When everything settled down, the warehouse site seemed to have been hit by a powerful earthquake; the ground was covered with cracks and rubble, and there were even samurai corpses buried under the rubble.

Goode stood in the center of the ruins, with the dying samurai leader beneath his feet, his gaze fixed on the inner city of the Flower Capital.

"The cleanup crew has arrived."

A crowd is on its way.

The commotion was so great that it was impossible for the people in the city not to notice. They just didn't know whether the people who came were the Miki-gumi under Orochi or the Kyoshiro family of the yakuza.

"Ok?"

The conspicuous nose of the airplane came into view.

It's Sleep Maniac Shiro!

Goode gave a playful smile.

"A very important person has arrived!"
