One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 80 We're here for tourism

Naval Headquarters, Intelligence Department.

The alarm went off!
"The Beasts Pirates are making contact with the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Location: Beehive Island!"

"Quickly inform Marshal Sengoku!"

"Immediately mobilize the nearby navy!"

The meeting of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, regardless of the reason, is a major event that the Navy must prepare for with all its might.

Moreover, the Beasts Pirates had just finished a six-month-long expedition and, without even a moment's rest, had already begun a new operation.

There is no doubt that this is an emergency!
The highest meeting room.

The officers and soldiers remaining at Naval Headquarters quickly assembled, each with a grim face, anxiously awaiting the latest intelligence.

Has any news come back?

"Report! The surveillance ship has spotted the Beasts Pirates' ship!"

The Four Emperors' headquarters are always surrounded by naval surveillance ships, which is why they can detect the movements of the beasts immediately.

On the projection screen, a picture of the Groudon appeared, and its scarlet bow made the officers frown.

A brand new logo I've never seen before!
However, the fact that someone in the Beasts Pirates possesses a warship with their own unique style means that they must be a high-ranking officer.

"The cadre Runti has been identified; a reward of 280 million Berries has been offered!"

"Officer Pagevan, bounty of 160 million Berries!"

"There are several other cadres!"

They are all powerful figures renowned throughout the new world!
The intelligence officer reported on the latest findings.

The Beasts Pirates made no attempt to conceal their operation, which made intelligence gathering much easier.

But the more this happens, the more uneasy people become.

This shows that the beasts came prepared and were not afraid of being discovered by the navy at all!
"Report! The Beasts Pirates have made contact!"

"You are wiretapping the call!"

"Zzzzz~ Whitebeard Pirates, we're just tourists. Excuse me."

Ok? ? ?
The officers were stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage.

Are you kidding me? Anyone with a brain knows this is a joke on the navy!
"Marshal of the Warring States Period!"

The officers suppressed their anger as they looked at Sengoku and the three admirals. The only forces capable of stopping the Four Emperors were the Admirals and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Sengoku frowned as he looked at the three generals. His gaze lingered on Sakazuki for a few seconds before turning to look at Kizaru and Aokiji.

I thought for a few seconds.

"Kizaru, you go there."

"This is really troublesome, Mr. Sengoku."

Admiral Kizaru, move out!
The New World, southwest of Beehive Island.

“Ugh~~”

Goode lay on the ship's side, exhaling rainbows towards the sea.

I feel seasick.

Given his physical condition, he shouldn't have experienced such a negative reaction, but he definitely felt uncomfortable.

Got it, it must be Georgotha's fault!
That fathead fish, even across the world, haunted him relentlessly!
This solidified Good's idea.

He must fill this sea!

"Lord Goode, water!"

Speed ​​brought over water, his eyes full of laughter. Seeing Goode's disheveled appearance, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Serves you right for bullying people!
"Thank you."

Goode took a sip of water, feeling much better, and looked up at the pirate ship that looked like a whale not far away.

Whitebeard's flagship—the Moby Dick!

"Has the application for entry into Hong Kong been sent out?"

"Ok!"

Has there been a reply?

"No."

"Then let's assume they agree!"

Goode nodded in satisfaction.

Upon arriving at Whitebeard's headquarters, it was natural to inform them, otherwise the other side might mistakenly believe they had come to start a war.

We should be polite.

"Full speed ahead!"

"Yes!"

Moby Dick, deck.

The captains gathered together, watching Groudon from a distance.

"Oh, so you're a tourist!"

"Are you stupid? How could those barbarians possibly have the leisure to travel!"

"War! This is war!" "Oh? So it was all a lie?"

"."

1000 meters, 500 meters, 300 meters.
Enter firing range!

As the Groudon charged rapidly towards them, the captains' expressions gradually turned serious, and their eyes subconsciously turned to their father.

Dad, the enemy is attacking!
Give the order quickly!

The white-bearded man frowned.

He racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what the Beasts Pirates were up to. If they were to start a war, it would be ridiculous to rely on just one warship.

Could they really be here for tourism?
Oh dear, if he believed such a clumsy lie, Whitebeard's reputation would be utterly ruined!
"Men, prepare for battle!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The captains rubbed their hands together, sneering as they stared at the approaching Groudon.

They weren't afraid of the beasts, but rather they didn't want to clash with those lunatics, since there was no benefit in it regardless of winning or losing.

Dad has already spoken.

If the beasts really want to fight, then they will fight to the bitter end!

"Ready to fight!"

"Quickly, load the ammunition!"

"Aim at the enemy ship!"

Under the watchful eyes of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Groudon sped past the Moby Dick, leaving a trail of exhaust fumes in its wake.

"Eh???"

As the Groudon sailed away, everyone was filled with questions.

Just leave like that?
He didn't even say a harsh word!

Doesn't that make them look like fools?

"Captain, what should I do?"

"What else can we do but chase after them!"

Regardless of the beasts' intentions, they must constantly monitor their movements, lest their own backyard catch fire.

The Moby Dick quickly turned around and chased after the Groudon. Soon, the two ships arrived at Rocky Harbor on Beehive Island, one after the other.

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Goode raised his arms and roared excitedly.

It feels so wonderful to be standing on solid ground again after so many days.

Page One sidled up to Goode and secretly pointed behind him: "Brother-in-law, the Whitebeard Pirates seem a bit tense!"

"You are one of them, and you're nervous too."

Good grinned.

This is a matter of style.

If it were the Beast Pirates or the Big Mom Pirates, they would have started fighting as soon as they met; they wouldn't have stood by and watched politely.

Unlike the Whitebeard Pirates, they rarely initiate battles.

The main reason is that Whitebeard has aged and lost the strength and drive he had in his youth. He hasn't made any major moves in the last ten years, and many ignorant people even regard him as a washed-up great pirate.

The captain wanted a peaceful life, so the team's style naturally leaned towards stability.

The Beasts are a bunch of lunatics who fight anything and never reason. How could the Whitebeard Pirates not be nervous when they see them?

"They're coming!"

Goode turned around and looked at the captains who were walking towards him.

The one leading the group was the guy with the pineapple head.

Goode's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to greet him, "This young man must be the famous Captain Marco of the First Division, right? It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm a huge fan of yours, please give me your autograph!"

"sign?"

Marco's mouth opened slightly as he looked down at the hand being held by the other person, trying to pull it back, but he couldn't.

What a strength!
and many more!

What was he about to say?

"Stop pretending!"

Marco's face darkened, and he quickly pulled his hand back forcefully, coldly questioning, "Beasts, what exactly is your purpose in coming to Beehive Island?"

"Purpose? Oh, that's it!"

Goode smiled broadly.

"We came here for sightseeing, and also to look for an old friend."

"Fire Fist Ace, I heard he was on Beehive Island. Captain Marco, do you know where Fire Fist Ace is?"

"Don't worry, I know the rules. If you can help us find Fire Fist Ace, we Beasts will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Looking for Ace?!

Marco's face darkened.

As expected, the visitors were up to no good!
