One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 333 Eating, Sleeping, and Beating Xiaoming

New world, Dressrosa.

The Groudon was docked at the port, resupplying for its voyage.

"Lord Goode, news has come from Wano Country that the Kozuki Samurai have been discovered and are currently active in the surrounding waters."

"Mitsutsuki?"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Goode pondered for several seconds before remembering.

It must be Momonosuke!
The Straw Hat crew has set sail again, so Momonosuke and his retainers must have successfully traveled through time and are now calling for reinforcements.

"Find them!"

"understand!"

As long as they remain in the New World, it will be impossible for them to escape his watchful eyes, unless Momonosuke and his crew stay at sea or on a deserted island.

Let's give Momonosuke to Kaido as a gift for this year's Fire Festival!

Lovers' Avenue, a coffee shop.

Goode sat in the outdoor booth area, legs crossed, flipping through a newspaper.

Dressrosa is relatively close to Punk Hazard, so he will stay there for a few days to await the duel between Kuzan and Sakazuki.

The stunningly beautiful woman approached Goode rather shyly.

"Sir, may I sit here?"

"Ok?"

Goode looked up in astonishment.

Is this beautiful woman trying to pick him up?
Observation Aura—Open!

The woman's emotions contained no malice, only anticipation and shyness, and she did not show the awe one would show when meeting an important person.

She was really trying to chat him up!
“(ω)”

Goode touched his shiny bald head, his heart pounding with emotion. It was the first time in his life that a woman had struck up a conversation with him without knowing his identity.

She's a beautiful older sister!

It truly lives up to its reputation as a famous Lovers' Avenue.

Goode stood up and pulled out a chair for the young lady.

"Please sit down, beautiful lady!"

"Thank you."

The older woman bowed her head and thanked him, her anxiety subsiding. She was actually quite afraid of being rejected, after all, it was their first meeting.

The woman spoke softly, "Sir, you look a lot like my deceased lover. He was a gladiator, and he used to be as robust as you."

"Uh-huh."

Good listened quietly.

The woman's husband was a gladiator who was later turned into a toy. Six months ago, due to a change in the Don Quixote family, the toy husband turned back into a human.

But after nearly ten years of enslavement, her husband had exhausted everything. In his toy form, he was on the verge of collapse, covered in rust. After recovering, he didn't last long and only saw her one last time.

In this country, there are many families who have experienced the same thing as her.

The woman lowered her head and sobbed.

“Sir, I’m sorry, I had completely forgotten him over the years and only remembered him then.”

“You and your husband were both victims of this disaster. Now that it’s over, you are still young and should look to the future.”

Goode smiled and comforted him.

The darkest period is over, and things can only get better from here on out, as evidenced by the smiles on people's faces on the streets.

Overall, things are getting better.

"Sir, thank you for listening to me."

The older sister smiled, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then took Goode's hand and invited him with a rosy face.

Let's go dancing!

"Dance?"

Dance is also a distinctive feature of this country.

Good was pulled toward the stage, and a strange feeling welled up inside him.

Wow, this is so enthusiastic!

The restaurant on the second floor across the street.

Luo watched as Goode was approached by a woman, then watched the two dance together, and then they ran into the nearby lovers' hotel.

"Wow!"

Draw the curtains shut!

Luo's face grew increasingly dark.

That bastard is so shameless!
Luo's subordinates stood behind him, their eyes filled with envy and admiration.

"How enviable."

"I also want to be hit on by older women!"

Will there be a mother bear?

"No way!"

"sorry!"

Luo drank his tea with a dark expression. He had appeared in Dressrosa because he had received a call from Goode, who said he wanted to talk to him about something.

Although he didn't know what it was about, he had originally planned to come anyway. With Akainu and Aokiji about to have their showdown, how could he not join in the fun?

Not only him, but a large number of powerful figures have gathered in Dressrosa to watch this duel.

Kidd, Abo, Capone Becky
Almost all the Supernovas from the Worst Generation have arrived, and I've heard that the Straw Hat crew, who disappeared for two years, have also reappeared and will likely join in the fun.

There are also veteran powerhouses.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence can see that this duel will determine the course of the world.

Especially for the Navy, if Akainu is defeated, the Navy will be completely doomed and eventually replaced by the Hoenn Navy.

"Hold on."

Luo glanced at the hotel room, then put his hands behind his head with a cold expression.

He wanted to see how long they could wait.

The sun sets and rises again.

"Clang!"

Goode opened the window and stretched comfortably.

I had a great time last night.

Unlike the experiences of other girls, this time he attracted a beautiful woman to throw herself into his arms with his own charm.

quack.

"what?"

Goode looked across the street at the hotel, where a familiar figure stood by the window, his eyes bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept all night.

Trafalgar Law!

The other person is watching him!
"Hey, good morning."

"."

A moment later, at the coffee shop.

Luo had dark circles under his eyes and a sour face.

"What do you want from me?"

"Don't be impatient."

Goodman ate his breakfast methodically, and only after he finished did he speak: "Do you know where Doflamingo is?"

"."

Luo frowned and shook his head.

All he knew was that six months ago, Doflamingo's crimes were exposed due to the toy out-of-control incident, and he lost his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but he didn't know where he went.

He was tracking down Doflamingo, but to no avail.

Luo stared at Goode.

Given their intelligence network, they must know where Doflamingo is, otherwise they wouldn't have brought this up.

"Where is he?"

"The Holy Land Mary Geoise".

Goode pointed to the sky.

"what?!"

Speechless.

Holy place?

What's going on? Why is Doflamingo in the Holy Land?
Goode curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"The Donquixote Family, to which Doflamingo belongs, is one of the Twenty Royal Families, also known as the Celestial Dragons. However, the Doflamingo family was expelled from the Holy Land for some reason."

"Now, the Celestial Dragons of the Holy Land have accepted Doflamingo back."

“I made a promise with him that I would bring you to him.”

"."

Luo's expression changed, and his subordinates behind him tensed up. Judging from Goode's words, they were likely there to arrest them.

"take it easy."

Good waved his hand, indicating that he had no intention of fighting.

"Whether you see him or not is up to you. As far as I know, you have some personal grudges with Doflamingo that you need to settle, so you should be happy to fight him."

"How did you know?!"

Luo pressed on with questioning, losing his composure.

Outsiders shouldn't be able to know about Corazon's affairs.

Goode smiled and shook his head: "Don't underestimate my intelligence. I've already figured out everything about you newcomers."

"Doflamingo is now a Celestial Dragon, which makes him my enemy, so I would prefer that you take him down. However, with your current strength, going after him would be tantamount to suicide."

"How about I give you some special training?"

Luo remained silent.

There's no such thing as cramming at the last minute!
