One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 7 I am—the Devilish Muscle Man!

The Kyoshiro family is the largest yakuza organization in the Flower Capital, and its leader, Kyoshiro, is known as Orochi's most loyal dog.

While engaging in criminal activities such as gambling, extortion, and collecting protection money, the Kyoshiro family was also responsible for maintaining stability in the Flower Capital, and legally at that.

Furthermore, as Orochi's subordinate, Kyoshiro is an ally of the Beasts and holds a fairly high position, being able to communicate directly with the Calamities.

Good greeted him with a smile: "Isn't this Boss Kyoshiro? I didn't expect you to come in person, it's truly an honor."

"."

Kyoshiro didn't reply, but squinted at the samurai at Goode's feet and the buried samurai corpses, feeling a pang of heartache.

Damn it, I'm too late!
However, no matter how angry you are, you must endure it.

Fifteen years have passed since that incident, and he has long since learned to endure. He is no longer Denjiro, a retainer of Kozuki Oden, but Kyoshiro, Orochi's lackey.

Suppressing his anger, Kyoshiro smiled and looked at Goode, asking routinely, "Brother of the Beasts, what happened here?"

"These trash tried to assassinate me."

Good grinned, picked up his knife, and cut open the samurai leader's trouser leg, revealing a crescent-shaped tattoo to everyone.

"It's a Kozuki Samurai!"

A gasp rippled through the crowd.

The crowd included not only Kyoshiro and his underlings, but also many ordinary people who had come to watch the spectacle. They were all astonished when they saw the crescent moon tattoo.

The last time a Kozuki Samurai appeared was several years ago.

Goode narrowed his eyes and stared at Kyoshiro with a cold smile: "I never expected the security in the Flower Capital to be this bad. Even the Kozuki Samurai can sneak in. Boss Kyoshiro, if you don't have enough manpower, our Beast Pirates can arrange for some people to help you."

"I'm so sorry, Brother Baishou, this was indeed our oversight. I apologize in advance."

Kyoshiro apologized with a smile.

The Flower Capital is the territory of the Great Serpent. People from all beasts can come and play, but if they want to station troops there, then they are overstepping their bounds.

Of course, the other party probably didn't mean that.

Saying these polite words is probably just a way to put pressure on him and get him to give her money or other benefits.

What a cunning fellow!
Kyoshiro became much more serious. Among the barbarians of the Hundred Beasts, there weren't many with brains, so they deserved his attention.

"By the way, what's your name, sir?"

"Good, Runti's right-hand man!"

When Gu De gave his name, he even made a point of mentioning Runti.

Among the true fighters of the Beasts, Ulti ranks among the top, second only to the top fighters, and Kyoshiro must also take her seriously.

"Runti's deputy, Goode"

Kyoshiro muttered something to himself, then quickly remembered the information that had come in last night, and opened his eyes a crack in surprise.

"You're the Demon Muscle Man?"

What? ? ?
Good was a little confused.

Devil Muscle Man?
Are you talking about him?

Which bastard gave him that nickname!

A line of dialogue automatically popped into Goode's mind.

[First time fighting in Southeast Asia in 1974]

There was a three-second silence.

Goode crossed his arms and silently tensed his muscles to make himself look even more imposing and domineering.

"That's right, I am the Demon Muscle Man!"

"hiss--!"

Gasps of astonishment rose and fell.

Putting everything else aside, the nickname "Devil Muscle Man" is indeed quite intimidating, and coupled with Goode's physique, he immediately intimidated everyone on the spot.

Kyoshiro wasn't intimidated, but his respect for Goode increased even further. Making a name for oneself within the Beasts Pirates was no easy feat.

It's certain that the man in front of me will become a member of the Beast Corps in the future, and perhaps even a core member.

Trouble.

Kyoshiro glanced at the ruins.

The man who could cause such severe damage must be quite powerful; this is not something that can be appeased with a small amount of money.

And there's the Kozuki Samurai standing at the opponent's feet.

If we don't intervene, the samurai will inevitably be sent to the prisoner quarry, which is even more painful than killing him.

He wanted to rescue them without revealing himself; these Kozuki warriors were once his brothers.

After a few seconds of thought, Kyoshiro said in a deep voice, "Brother Goode, the remnants of the Kozuki clan have appeared in the Flower Capital. This is our responsibility. Please give me face and hand this guy over to us. Rest assured, we will definitely give you an explanation!" "Haha, of course we will give face to Boss Kyoshiro."

Goode's smile blossomed.

He deliberately left one alive, waiting for the other party to demand the person back.

Goode pointed to the ground: "However, these bastards destroyed the house I just bought. It will cost a lot of money to rebuild it."

"Put this money in my account!"

Kyoshiro paid the bill without hesitation.

He was actually very poor; he used all the money in his pocket to help the poor, but being able to solve problems with money was already a simple matter.

If things escalate, those brainless pirates might actually storm the Flower Capital, and who knows what kind of destruction they would cause.

Besides, it's just rebuilding a house, it won't cost much. At worst, I can just transform into the righteous thief "Ugly Boy" at night and steal money from a few more rich people.

Goode gave a thumbs up and praised loudly with an exaggerated expression: "No wonder he is the most beloved hero in the Flower Capital, boss is so generous!"

"Miscellaneous praise."

Kyoshiro responded calmly.

They killed his brothers and still wanted to make money off him.

He took note of this account!
"Oh right, I forgot to mention that earlier."

Goode rubbed his pectoral muscles, feigning pain: "Fighting these guys actually caused me serious internal injuries, and I've lost all interest in visiting the Flower Capital. Boss Kyoshiro, what about the medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for emotional distress?

"."

Kyoshiro's face twitched.

Even though he had served under General Orochi for fifteen years and honed his acting skills to perfection, he couldn't help but want to draw his sword and kill someone at this moment.

With his current reputation and status, even General Orochi treats him with utmost respect, yet this bastard dares to openly extort him.

He is so angry!

Kyoshiro took a deep breath.

With so many people watching, I can't let my image as a chivalrous hero be tarnished.

"500 gold!"

"it is good!"

Goode smiled broadly, deciding to stop while he was ahead.

Hehehe, I have money to buy a house again.

Seemingly not wanting to stay a moment longer, Kyoshiro immediately led his underlings, along with the corpses of the Kozuki Samurai and his companions, away.

"As expected of Boss Kyoshiro!"

“So handsome!”

"With Boss Kyoshiro around, the Flower Capital is so safe!"

The onlookers were excitedly discussing the matter.

In their eyes, Kyoshiro resolved the crisis swiftly and decisively, once again maintaining the stability of the Flower Capital.

"Tsk tsk, what a perfect ending."

Goode clicked his tongue in admiration.

The people were relieved. Kyoshiro took his brothers away and made a lot of money. It was a win-win-win situation.

They really won big!

The warehouse quickly returned to silence, leaving only Goode alone.

"This guy is really good at enduring."

Good looked in the direction where Kyoshiro had left.

He was naturally aware of Kyoshiro's true identity, and if he could, he would like to kill him.

Now that he's on Kaido's ship, the Kozuki clan is his mortal enemy. Even if he doesn't kill Kozuki, Kozuki will come to kill him.

The problem is that he is currently in a low position and his words carry little weight, while Kyoshiro holds a high position and wields great power. If he were to recklessly overturn the table, he could easily end up killing himself.

Goode shook his head and looked towards the warehouse.

He didn't buy such a remote warehouse casually.

"Gulu gulu~~"

The cracks caused by the previous battle had been filled with water at some point, and the surface was still steaming hot.

It's a hot spring!
