One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 8: Thank you, boss, for the luxury mansion!
"Gulu~Gulu~"

Warm spring water kept gushing from the ground, quickly forming a puddle.

"This is it!"

Goode's lips couldn't help but curl upwards.

Groudon is the creator of the land and controls the power of the earth. As a Jinchūriki, he also inherited this power.

He can't create land or move mountains and fill seas right now, but he can still easily sense the terrain structure.

Directly beneath the Flower Capital lies a vast amount of magma, and coupled with the unique environment of Wano Country—the existence of a freshwater inland sea—the underground freshwater reserves are extremely exaggerated.

This created excellent conditions for the birth of hot springs.

Once a suitable location is found, and his earth-powering abilities are used to create a small opening above the underground hot spring, the surface pressure can be used to pull the hot spring water up.

The warehouse underfoot is located in an area where the land is very suitable for creating hot springs. The main reason for buying this warehouse was its low price and large area.

In short, the property value has increased dramatically!
"Hehehe, once I convert this place into a hot spring inn, I won't have to worry about finding a place to rent it out!"

"No, I'm a pirate. Pirates don't run hot spring inns. It should be called Heavenly Paradise Hot Spring SPA Club!"

"I'm a fucking genius!"

Goode rubbed his smooth head and walked into the city feeling refreshed.

He soon arrived at his destination.

Gangyou Carpenter Shop.

Its striking physique immediately caught the attention of the carpenters.

“I’ll look for Master Gangyou.”

Goode explained his purpose.

The owner of this carpentry shop, Minato, is the best carpenter in Wano Country. He even designed and led the construction of the Skull Castle on Onigashima.

Soon, a short old man with two nails stuck in his nostrils came out and said impatiently, "Pirate kid, what do you want to say? I have a lot of work to do."

"Master Gangyou, I would like to ask you to build a large mansion for me!"

Goode took out a design drawing, a rough sketch he had drawn from memory, with a layout similar to a garden.

"what!"

Hong Kong residents took one look and immediately became interested.

The drawings look messy, clearly drawn by an amateur, but the layout is quite interesting. It's somewhat similar to the style of Wano Country, yet quite different.

"What is this for?"

"Hot Spring Club - Inn!"

Good almost misspoke.

The Hong Kong friend frowned deeply and it took him a long time to return the blueprints to Goode.

"Hey, you should find someone else."

“Master Hong Kong, money is not a problem.”

Goode immediately added.

The Hong Kong resident shook his head, looking both happy and troubled, and said, "It's not a matter of money, it's that I don't have enough time. I still have eight houses to build, eight houses!"

"."

For some reason, Good felt a deep understanding of the other person's feelings at that moment.

He used to own eight houses!
Okay, you forced me to do it!
"Master Gangyou".

Good pulled the old man aside and whispered, "I'll be honest with you. This hot spring hotel is actually owned by Boss Kyoshiro. He asked me to come here."

"Boss Kuangshiro?"

Hong Kong residents immediately widened their eyes.

If it really is Kyoshiro's property, then we have to take this job and make it our top priority.

In this vast Flower Capital, who would dare to disrespect Boss Kyoshiro, especially since Boss Kyoshiro is incredibly benevolent?

The question is, is this pirate kid lying to him?
Even if Kyoshiro wanted to build a house, he should have sent his underlings instead of sending pirates to find him.

Hong Kong residents hesitated.

"Do not believe?"

Goode smiled broadly: "Master Gangyou, how about this, you arrange for one of your disciples to go to the Kyoshiro family, mention my name, and say that he is here to ask for construction funds."

"This"

Hong Kong residents largely believed it.

This kind of thing can't be faked. If Kyoshiro's family paid for the house, then the house would naturally belong to Kyoshiro.

"Wait a minute!" Although he believed Goode, Hong Kong still sent a disciple to Kyoshiro's house to confirm, whether it was to verify the authenticity or to request funds, he had to make the trip.

While waiting, Hong Kong friends watched Goode drinking tea, becoming increasingly puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, "Pirate kid, what exactly is your relationship with Boss Kyoshiro?"

"This is it."

Goode put down his teacup, his smile undiminished: "Kyoushiro and I are close friends, brothers!"
-
As evening fell, Goode boarded the Beasts Pirate Ship, which was returning to Onigashima.

After confirming everything was correct, he discussed many details with Master Hongyou and agreed on a one-month construction period.

The time may seem short, but it is more than enough for skilled craftsmen. If it weren't for the need to build something exquisite, they could have finished it in half a month.

In addition, Master Hong Kong personally took charge and brought a group of skilled carpenters, so the cost of building the house naturally increased accordingly.

Special offer price: 2000 gold!
but it does not matter.

All expenses will be paid by Boss Kyoshiro!

"Puff, puff puff puff~~"

"."

Speed ​​gave Goode a strange look.

Once he boarded the ship, the smile on his face never stopped.

His mouth was crooked from smiling.

It's just a trip to the Flower Capital, look how happy this country kid is. Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd found a fortune.

"Good, are you really alright?"

"It's okay, I'm fine!"

Goode's smile grew even brighter.

In less than a day, he mastered the domineering aura, got a mansion for free, and even extorted a huge sum of 500 gold coins. How could he not be successful?

What was that saying again?

Never had such a wonderful start!

If it weren't for Kyoshiro's financial straits and the 500 gold he owed in compensation, he would definitely have bought a few more houses.

But it's okay, we can collect the debt again when we go to Huazhidu to take back the property. We can ask Boss Kyoshiro for help then to find some tenants for him.

"Jiejiejie~~"

"."

Speed ​​touched his arm uncomfortably and couldn't help but say, "Stop laughing, it's creepy, it's giving me goosebumps."

"Hmph, what do you know, you're just a woman?"

Goode arrogantly raised his chin.

In his distant hometown, writers always smiled like this when describing villainous bosses. It was a unique smile from his hometown, which was both sophisticated and deeply rooted in culture!

Speed ​​sighed and facepalmed, then decisively changed the subject: "You're going back to Ghost Island later, right? You'll be going to the dungeon, won't you?"

"Yes."

Goode nodded.

Yamato is locked in the dungeon, and it's unknown whether he's awake or not.

Onigashima is the stronghold of all beasts, and almost no enemy can break into it. For example, the remnants of the Kozuki clan have gathered to attack Onigashima several times, but they were wiped out before they even saw the coastline.

In addition, most of the beasts that captured enemies were sent to the prisoner quarry to work, which made the Oni Island dungeon more of a decoration than a place where enemies were imprisoned.

Without prisoners, there would naturally be no jailers on standby, so he, who had captured Yamato, was also responsible for guarding Yamato.

He ended up going to jail as well.

"Ugh——!"

Goode suddenly covered his cheek.

Speed ​​was startled.

"what happened to you?"

"I—hiss—!"

Goode lowered his hand, his face twitching uncontrollably.

"My face is cramping, please rub it for me!"

"Serves you right, go to hell!"

A delicate, pink fist struck Goode's face.
