One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 331 The Gathering Two Years Later
Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

Brannus reported loudly.

"Fleet Admiral Akainu, a major incident has occurred!"

"Go ahead."

Akainu looked tired.

Since he took office, major events have occurred every few days, and he is exhausted just from handling official business.

The recent discovery of new landmasses in the North Sea has shocked the world and had an uncontrollable impact on navies.

Not to mention the navy, after seeing the detailed information about the New World, he felt an urge to defect to the Hoenn government.

"Fleet Admiral Akainu, please look."

Brannus took out a Den Den Mushi and projected the image onto the screen.

Several figures were holding batons and waving them at the sky. Judging from the background, it should be Upside Down Mountain, or the All Blue Canal.

Under pressure, the World Government did not station troops at Reverse Mountain, but it also did not allow Hoenn to station troops there.

Previously, Hoenn built supply points on both sides of the All Blue Canal, and since they did not cross the line, the World Government did not interfere.

But what happens now?
Akainu frowned, unable to understand what the people in the picture were doing, but his doubts were soon answered.

The clouds in the sky dispersed, and a huge military fortress descended from the sky. On a gun emplacement in front of the fortress stood a blind old man.

"boom!!!"

The earth shook and smoke and dust rose up.

On one side of the Grand Line, a massive military fortress has been erected, its size no less than that of the Marine Headquarters.

"A smile?!"

Akainu stood up in surprise.

Seeing this, how could he not understand that Hoenn had built the fortress elsewhere and then had Fujitora move it to Reverse Mountain? By the time the Navy realized what was happening, the fortress was already completed.

What can stop this?
In addition, there were many media reporters on site, filming and reporting on the fortress, which was obviously planned in advance.

"Finally we've reached this point."

Akainu sat down wearily.

Hoenn's relocation of its headquarters to Reverse Mt. signifies its confidence in confronting them. What follows will no longer be ordinary friction, but a clash between two superpowers.

The problem is, with morale wavering, what can the navy use to counter the enemy, and what should the world government do?

A building on the verge of collapse cannot be supported by a single beam.

Akainu went outside and faced the sea.

A feeling of powerlessness came over me.

"I'm so lucky to be living in such a great era!"

Upside-down Mountain All Blue.

Fengyuan government and Navy headquarters.

Goode and Aokiji stood in the corridor, facing the sea.

"The scenery here is beautiful."

"Oh my, it's so refreshing!"

As he drew closer to his dream, Aokiji's emotions surged. He felt as if Akainu was watching him from the other side of the world.

almost.

Aokiji's gaze was sharp as a knife, its edge fully revealed.

From striving to falling into depravity, and then regaining the drive of his youth, he has now proven that his choice was correct, and he has only one goal left in his life.

Beat up Sakazuki!
This is the only thing that no one else can do for you.

As for overthrowing the world government, that's not just his business, but a shared ideal of all of them.

Aokiji clenched his fist: "Good, I have a crazy idea in my head right now, but doing it might cause some trouble."

"Do whatever you want. I'm just your boss. I'll only supervise your work and won't interfere in your personal affairs."

Goode pursed his lips.

"Just don't die."

"Oh, don't worry."

Aokiji turned and left, waving goodbye with a flourish.

"Will win!"

"."

Good was speechless.

A while later, the man wearing the chef's hat found Goode.

"Head Chef" Sanji.

Sanji lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

"General Goode."

“Sanji, huh?” Goode glanced at Sanji.

After spending two years in Hoenn, Sanji seems to have matured a lot. The high-intensity work has greatly improved his physical strength, and he has also received guidance from strong individuals.

Their strength is a hundred times greater than before.

"Got to go?"

"Ah."

Sanji nodded.

The appointed time was approaching; he was to travel to the Sabaody Archipelago to reunite with his companions, for their adventure was far from over.

Good waved his hand.

"Go and apply for a leave of absence before you leave."

"."

Sanji's breathing faltered.

He understood what Goode meant: apply for a leave of absence so that if he had nowhere else to go, he could come back.

In addition, the head chef of the Hoenn headquarters holds a very high position, which would surely shock his companions if they knew.

He's a big shot now.

Sanji bowed in thanks.

"Thank you for taking care of me these past two years."

"You're welcome. This is the result of your hard work."

Goode smiled slightly.

"How's the Germa matter going?"

"I'll come back and settle this matter once my adventure is over!"

Sanji's eyes turned cold.

Over the past two years, his biggest enemy has been Germa 66. They have fought quite a bit, and he has gone from being beaten all at once to now being able to win even when facing three opponents at once.

Besides personal reasons, there were also some external reasons. In short, he had decided to make Germa 66 disappear from history completely.

Such a country should not exist.

"Ah."

Goode nodded: "When you leave, go see Dragon. Nicole Robin is with him; you can travel with her."

"Robin-chan?"

Sanji was stunned for a few seconds, then overjoyed.

Is Robin-chan also in Hoenn?
He knew absolutely nothing about this!

"Thank you, Commander Goode, I will always remember this kindness!"

Sanji was overjoyed and thanked him, but then remembered something and asked nervously, "Commander Goode, I have a question I'd like to ask."

"explain."

Goode raised his hand in a gesture of greeting.

Sanji took a deep drag on his cigarette: "I remember you're also a pirate. If Robin and I leave, what if we become enemies later?"

"so what?"

Goode chuckled and shook his head.

"You should pray that your captain, Straw Hat Luffy, doesn't mess with me. You should know that I won't show any mercy."

"."

Sanji's forehead was sweating.

Having spent two years in Hoenn, he knew Goode's style very well; unless you were useful to him, provoking him would have serious consequences.

When he was the leader of Hoenn, he was quite reasonable and wouldn't make things difficult for people. Sometimes he would even take the initiative to recruit others.

However, from the perspective of pirates, the other party is the nightmare of all pirates. Given Luffy's reckless nature, as a crewmate, one should really pray that Luffy doesn't mess with Good.

"I'll be keeping an eye on Luffy!"

After finishing his cigarette, Sanji bowed to Goode again to express his gratitude, and then disappeared down the corridor in a flash.

"Robin-chan!!!"

"."

Goode looked away.

"It's been two years."

Two years have passed since the Marineford War, and the Straw Hat crew is about to embark on a new journey.

Next, the new world is about to undergo another reshuffle, and the new generation of the worst generation will be unable to hold back any longer.

The competition to become the Pirate King is about to begin.

"I'll go join in the fun too."
