One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 63: The Qualification to Challenge the Big Boss!

"Woo woo woo woo~~"

Overwhelmed with grief, Kaido burst into tears.

"Shutenmaru, Kyoshiro, you were so powerful, why did you die? Why can't you be used by me!"

"Orochi, you're dead too. Who will handle my weapons deals from now on?"

"Woo woo woo!"

[Crying uncontrollably after drinking]

The newcomers were dumbfounded, never expecting that one of the Four Emperors, Kaido, would cry like this. One of them tried to comfort him, trying to show off.

"Boss Kaido is nothing more than—"

"You bastard, leave me alone! Let me have some peace and quiet!"

Kaido glared angrily and swung his spiked club straight out.

"Thunder gossip!"

"boom!"

There's a hole in the ceiling.

After crying for a long time, Kaido finally calmed down. His sadness turned into anger, and he glared fiercely at Good.

"Good, what exactly happened?!"

"Reporting to Boss Kaido."

Goode recounted the events from the bandit suppression to Orochi's death in detail, with particular emphasis on Fire Fist Ace.

Yes, it's all Fire Fist's fault!
"Ayes the fire fist!"

Kaido was furious.

First he defeated Hanafuda, and now he's taken down Orochi. That damned brat must not be forgiven!
"Immediately track down Fire Fist's whereabouts. I'm going to skin him alive!"

"Yes!"

The royalist immediately responded.

Kaido continued to glare at Goode, but the anger in his eyes quickly turned into disappointment, and he even looked a little aggrieved and wanted to cry.

Why did you kill them?

Wouldn't it be better to lock them up?
Such powerful combat strength, and it all died in vain.

Waaaaah, I'm so sad.

[Feeling down after drinking]

"Good."

Kaido's tone was aggrieved, like a child who had done something wrong: "After Orochi died, what is the current situation in Wano Country? Also, where is Yamato? I haven't seen her."

"Boss Kaido, after Orochi was killed by Fire Fist, Lord Yamato and I quickly took control of Wano Country, and everything is stable."

Goode's lips curled up in a smile.

"As for where Yamato is, she is now the new shogun of Wano Country and is currently in the shogun's castle in the Flower Capital."

"what?"

Kaido's mouth dropped open.

Stunned after drinking

Inside the banquet hall, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Lord Yamato has become a general?!"

The enormous changes in Wano Country had already astonished them, so it didn't seem surprising that Yamato was now the shogun.

The question is, can Yamato be a good shogun?
The general is not only responsible for governing Wano Country, but also for foreign arms trade and the production and operation of some weapons factories.

Kaido thought so too.

He was not good at managing a country, and the pirates under his command were all thugs with little education and basically knew nothing about management and trade.

According to his long-term plan, he would wait until the final war began before letting Yamato replace Orochi.

At that time, only war will remain.

"Good, can Yamato handle it?"

"Don't worry, Boss Kaido."

Goode pointed to himself: "I am currently serving as the Daimyo of Hakumai and the Shogun's assistant. I will assist Yamato in handling the affairs of Wano Country. Everything is going smoothly so far, and there are no problems with the production and trade of weapons."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

They finally understood that Yamato was just a general in name only, while Good was the real mastermind behind Wano Country.

In this way, wouldn't Goode's power be second only to Kaido? In an alliance, the Shogun could be on equal footing with Kaido.

Leaving aside Goode's personal strength, the sheer number of Oniwabanshu and samurai alone is enough to make them think twice. And then there's their wealth!

Many of the fighters toned down their hostility, and even looked at Goode with a hint of ingratiation, thinking about how to get closer to him.

"."

Kaido stared at Goode, the image of welcoming people and the golden rice fields of Hakumai flashing through his mind, and he immediately felt much more at ease.

It doesn't matter who becomes the general, as long as they can produce and sell weapons to make money and provide supplies to the beasts.

This kid has potential!
Kaido stood up and laughed heartily.

"Hurrah, goody took down Ashura Doji and Kyoshiro, and together with Yamato, defeated Portgas D. Ace, stabilizing the situation in Wano Country!"

"Those who have rendered meritorious service deserve a reward!"

"From this moment forward, Goode is promoted to Flying Six!"

The last one is a flying six!

Kaido looked at the agitated True Fighters and laughed, saying, "Don't rush, you still have a chance to rise to the top. On the day of the Fire Festival, I will grant you the right to challenge the Flying Six!"

"Really?!"

The real fighters were overjoyed.

They were initially a little upset, but now they were only filled with joy. If they could choose a specific target to challenge, their chances of rising to the top would greatly increase.

Kaido looked at the Flying Six.

"is that OK?"

"It doesn't matter."

The crowd sneered.

"Boss Kaido, I have a question."

Goode suddenly raised his hand, his gaze fixed intently on the three calamities: "Now that the Flying Six have been granted challenge privileges, can we also challenge the Superstars?"

"This is it."

Kaido stroked his chin and looked at the Three Disasters.

Jhin and Jack remained unfazed.

"Hahaha, how arrogant!"

Quinn was all smiles, eager to take this opportunity to teach Goode a lesson; that kid was far too arrogant.

Ugh, I really want to dance!
Go to the prisoner quarry tomorrow morning!
Kaido withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, and then laughed: "Fine, but there's only one challenge spot for the six of you!"

"."

The atmosphere among the Flying Six changed instantly.

Fozf and Sasaki exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with hostility and wariness, clearly regarding each other as their biggest rivals.

Black Maria licked the corner of her lips, seemingly somewhat interested.

"Xiao Pei, Xiao Pei!"

Runti excitedly tightened her grip on her younger brother's neck. Having only recently become a member of the Flying Six, she already had the opportunity to challenge the big signboard.

It's like a dream.

She also wants to be a big star!

The banquet ended late at night.

The six members of the flying crew went back to their respective homes.

Too much happened today, especially the challenge to the authority of the main dashboard, and we must respond as soon as possible.

Cat Food Hub, fourth floor of the castle.

A massive saber-toothed tiger lay lazily on a bed several meters high, just like a cat. Below the soft bed were numerous subordinates dressed as cat-people.

"This fire ceremony is a golden opportunity for me to be promoted to the highest-ranking officer!"

Forzford's gaze was intense.

He didn't care about the position of the Flying Six at all; his real goal was to become the big boss, or even the captain's seat!

Among the Flying Six, the one who poses the greatest threat to him is Sasaki, whose bounty is closest to his and whose strength is quite formidable.

As expected, the qualification to challenge the top spot will be decided in his final battle with Sasaki, and to do that, he must first deal with the troublesome guy.

"Men, immediately investigate everything that has happened in Wano Country in the last six months, especially information about Goode."

"Yes, boss!"

On the other side, Sasaki also issued the same order.

Having just arrived, he knew nothing about the situation in Wano Country. At this moment, the most important thing was to gather intelligence and distinguish between friend and foe.

He's not so easily used as a pawn!
