One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 77 Kaido: Be my son-in-law!
The battlefield was silent.

The scorched ravines stretched across the land, billowing flames rising from them, the soil at the bottom completely melted into scorching lava.

Its exaggerated destructive power is comparable to Kaido's heat breath!

The pirates stared at Groudon bathed in beams of light, unable to recover for a long time. Even the Superstars and the Flying Six were so shocked that they had difficulty breathing.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

One thing is certain: Goode's ability must be that of a Mythical Zoan, as only Mythical Zoan can possess both transformation and special abilities.

"Gulu!"

Forzford swallowed hard, banishing all thoughts of Goode from his mind. Had he known Goode was so terrifying, he wouldn't have dared to provoke him even if he had a hundred lives.

At that moment, he even felt a little wronged.

If Goode had shown his power earlier, would he still have been unable to distinguish between the two kings?
The most shocked were Runti and Pageman.

Runti tugged at her younger brother, her head glazed over.

"Xiao Pei, is that really Gu Jiang?"

"should be!"

The two had always felt that they knew Goode best and had spent the most time with him, but at this moment Goode seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

Are you kidding me? Goode is ridiculously strong!
Not far away, Jin's gaze was extremely solemn.

"Quinn, Jack is going to lose!"

"."

no respond.

Jhin frowned and looked at Quinn.

"Quinn?"

"."

Quinn bit his lip, his whole body covered in sweat. Noticing Jhin's questioning gaze, he trembled and raised his hand to wipe away the sweat.

You scared him to death!

Fortunately, Goode didn't challenge him!
Such terrifying destructive power is ten times more ferocious than his laser beam; if he were hit, he would surely be roasted alive.

The center of the battlefield.

Jack the mammoth was teetering on the brink of collapse, half of his body charred and smoking, and even one of his beloved tusks was broken.

As Groudon Goode approached, Jack helplessly knelt down, his massive body rapidly shrinking back to human form.

He can no longer maintain the transformation.

He groped around with his hands, trying to find a knife.

"Oh!"

Goode's enormous red claws slammed into Jack's chest, pinning him to the ground. Then, his mouth opened again, aimed at Jack's head beneath his feet.

"Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~~"

The dazzling light coalesced once more.

Jack's pupils contracted as he tasted the flavor of death for the first time.

A roar came from the sky.

"That's enough, Goode!"

"boom!!!"

The scorching beam of light shot out once again!

As the beam of light gradually disappeared, Jack struggled to turn his head and saw the bottomless lava pit beside him, his pupils dilating in shock once again.

"Gulu!"

A small amount of lava gushed out of the cave and splashed onto his face.

The burning pain made him realize the terrifying power of the beam, a power that could even melt the earth.

"You must be terrified, little Jack."

Goode reverted to his human form, jumped off Jack with a smile, and then waved to the Azure Dragon in the sky.

"Boss Kaido, I can't take back the attack I just made."

"Okay, I know!"

Kaido stared at Goode.

His Observation Haki had allowed him to foresee what had just happened, which is why he didn't intervene.

Goode still knew his limits.

and also.

Kaido frowned, looked up at the clear sky, and the clouds he created dissipated the moment Goode transformed into his complete form.

Even Yan Yun was no exception.

He almost fell off the sky just now!
What kind of ability does this kid have? He's so strange!
"Ugh, let's go back to Ghost Island!"

"Yes!"

The vast army of beasts departed in a mighty procession.

Half a day later, at the Ghost Island Grand Ballroom.

Good stood next to Kaido, alongside King and Queen, and acted as if he were the top representative before the announcement was even made.

No one has an opinion.

Even Jhin and Quinn tacitly approved of Goode's behavior; Quinn even wondered who should be second in command between herself and Goode.

Mmm...
"Foolish little Jack, how could you lose like this?!" Kaido sat in the main seat, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone.

"You have no objections to this result, right?"

"No."

The cadres answered in unison.

Who would object? Good defeated Jack head-on, and it was a crushing victory, without any suspense!
They were completely convinced!

"Hmm, very good!"

Kaido stood up and said in a deep voice, "Pass down the word: from this moment forward, Goode is promoted to the Rank 1 of the Beasts Pirates!"

"Yes, Boss Kaido!"

The cadres responded and then looked at Goode.

"Congratulations, Lord Goode!"

"Ah."

Goode nodded slightly, crossed his arms and silently tensed his body.

Look closely, those gleaming muscles!
Hehe~ Hehehehe~~
Kaido looked at Jack, who was covered in bandages and looked weak.

"As for Jack, he's demoted to Fly—"

"Wait a minute, Boss Kaido."

Goode interrupted Kaido.

"Brother Kaido, I don't think Jack needs to be demoted to the Flying Six. The Whitebeard Pirates have more than a dozen division commanders, Big Mom has four Sweet Commanders, and our Beast Pirates can also have four Super-Commanders!"

There is a significant power gap between the Big Six and the Flying Six, so demoting Jack would be a waste of his talent, especially since Jack is indeed very strong.

He has no special abilities, nor powerful combat skills or domineering aura; he possesses only pure strength and endurance.

Definitely a numerical monster.

If he doesn't transform, defeating Jack won't be easy; it will most likely turn into a war of attrition, a battle to see who gets exhausted first.

You could say Jack is the gatekeeper of the billion-dollar club!

And most importantly, if Jack were to relinquish his position as the head of the organization, wouldn't all of Jack's work fall on his shoulders?

Don't do this kind of thing!
Jack is the vanguard general of the beasts. When faced with problems that the real fighters cannot solve, Jack is always the first to step in, especially in overseas business.

They work tirelessly and are incredibly busy!
Without Jack leading the charge, and with Jhin stationed on Ghost Island, he certainly wouldn't be taking on this task, not to mention Quinn.

Then it can only be him.

"Four big names?"

The officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

It seems there's no problem.

Kaido pondered for a moment, then looked at King and Queen.

The two remained silent, which was considered tacit approval of Goode's opinion, since they were on the same page regarding bullying Jack's younger brother.

The problem is, Jack lost.

It wasn't a playful game at the Fire Festival that they lost; it was a defeat in a direct battle, a defeat for the Beasts Pirates.

Failure is the original sin!

This is also where Kaido hesitated.

"Good, give me another reason!"

"Brother Kaido."

Goode raised his chin and spoke calmly.

"It's not shameful to lose to me."

"."

The officials gasped in shock!
As expected of Lord Goode, he easily uttered words that they could never achieve in their entire lives. That's so cool!

"Uro ro ro!!!"

"Okay, then let's do it your way!"

Kaido laughed heartily.

The more he looked at Goode's arrogant nature, the more he liked him.

"Also, Goode, I told you I'd prepare a big surprise gift for you once you become the big boss!"

A surprise gift?

Goode's eyes lit up.

Quick, kill me with a Devil Fruit!
Other good things are fine too!

If all else fails, I'll pay you!
Kaido looked around and announced with a loud laugh.

"Listen up, all of you!"

"I want to marry my daughter Yamato to Goode!"

"Eh?!!!"

The cadres were stunned into silence, then all looked at Goode with eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Goode's smile gradually disappeared.

What?
Yamato?

This is the surprise gift?!
