One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 340 Luo VS Kidd
An unnamed island, the square outside the castle.

The three pirate crews gathered together and held a joyful banquet. Upon learning of the alliance, the pirates felt reassured.

Venturing into the new world, they actually face the greatest pressure to survive, as every time they encounter a powerful enemy, one of their companions will be killed.

Now that the three parties have joined forces, the team's strength has undergone a qualitative leap, and they are confident even when facing the underground emperor.

"Captain Kidd is here!"

The pirates all looked up, their eyes filled with fervor as they stared at Kid. Of the three captains, Kid had the highest bounty, close to 5 million Berries.

Once the bounty is raised to 3 million Berries, it becomes much harder to increase it further.

In addition, the World Government has been deeply embroiled in the conflict with Hoenn in the past two years, and has had much less energy to devote to pirates, resulting in a slower or even stagnant increase in pirate bounties.

The large dining table in the banquet center.

The three captains sat in a circle, discussing their next plan.

Or rather, the goal!

The sole purpose of the alliance is to dethrone the Four Emperors and seize the Poneglyphs from the Roadstones, thereby finding the One Piece.

But now there are very few clues.

Logically speaking, the Four Emperors are most likely to possess the inscriptions on the road monuments, especially Kaido, Big Mom, and Shiki.

These three are all veteran pirates who have fought Roger more than once, and they most likely know or possess one or two of the inscriptions on the road markers.

Buggy, who debuted the latest, was a member of the crew of the Pirate King Roger and Shanks' sworn brother. He has a low probability of possessing the inscription on the road monument, but he may know relevant information.

Choosing who to target is the most important thing!
"Auntie!"

After discussing for a while, the three of them set their sights on the old woman, not only because she was the most likely to have the inscription on the road sign, but also because they had a grudge against her.

The upcoming tea party will be the perfect opportunity to make a move!

"Hey, a ship is approaching!"

"Where did this ship come from? This island isn't on any of the three shipping routes!"

"Wait, it's Groudon!"

The pirates were horrified when they saw the Groudon's markings.

Why did Groudon appear?

"Groudor!"

The three captains' expressions changed simultaneously. Just as they got up to prepare to fight, two figures appeared at the dining table, standing back to back.

"Good God of the Earth!"

"And Trafalgar Law!"

The three captains weren't surprised to see Goode, but Luo's appearance really took them by surprise.

Law is now a member of the Cross Guild, but he is relatively low-key compared to the many former Shichibukai.

Why was he with Goode?
"Oh, a banquet is being held."

Goode sat cross-legged on the table, picked up a bottle of wine, took a swig, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"The taste isn't very good."

Only then did the three captains react, immediately retreating to create distance and assuming a fighting stance.

"Why would someone as important as you come here!"

Kidd's face was contorted with bulging veins, and countless swords and steel blades gathered around him.

This uninhabited island was his most important secret base, located in an extremely secluded place that even the Four Emperors should not be able to find it.

"This is it."

Goode rested his chin on his hand and explained his purpose with a smile: "I'm here to capture you. Brother Kaido wants to see you."

"Kaido, one of the Four Emperors?!"

Cold sweat trickled down his back.

They had just formed an alliance to deal with the Four Emperors when Kaido, the "strongest" among them, set his sights on them. To make matters worse, the man in front of them was also the "strongest."

The strongest man in the world!

Haha~ Haha~~

Kidd suddenly burst into laughter, his gaze towards Goode becoming violent and crazed, as a large amount of steel gathered and combined around him, like a steel storm.

"Defeat you, and I will be the strongest!"

"Magnetic Demon!"

When the storm subsided, the cyberpunk-style skull mech floated in mid-air, with Kidd sitting in the center as the pilot.

Unleash your ultimate move!

Goode's eyes lit up. "No wonder he's from the South China Sea, that look is pretty cool!"

The South China Sea region has a relatively developed industry, with gears and wrenches being its synonyms. People who come from there usually have some kind of skill to rely on.

Unfortunately, while he's handsome, I didn't see anything particularly special about him.

With this kid's electromagnetic abilities, if he could study under Vegapunk, he would have a very promising future.

Piloting a Gundam and wielding a lightsaber are child's play.

"Your opponent is not me."

Goode drank with interest, then pointed to Luo beside him.

"Defeat him first."

Trafalgar Law!

Kidd angrily questioned, "Have you now become a lackey of all beasts?"

"Don't try to tell me what to do, Kidd's the boss!"

Luo's face twitched, and he raised his palm.

"Room!"

The blue halo expanded outwards, quickly covering a large portion of the island; such a vast area could not possibly be left unattended.

Without any hesitation, Law swung his sword at Kidd, and with a flash of light, Kidd and the skeleton mech he had created were split in two!
Kidd's pupils trembled as he looked at the other half of his body that had been split apart.

In the middle of the move!
Even among the strongest, Trafalgar Law's Devil Fruit ability is unparalleled in its strangeness.

Before he was cut open, he didn't feel any shockwave from the slash, nor did he feel any pain.

"Sizzle!"

An electric arc appeared!

"Do you think you can defeat me like this?"

Kidd's eyes flashed red with rage, and numerous arcs of electricity appeared between his cracked body, which then generated a magnetic force, causing them to rapidly converge.

"Snapped!"

The body, which had been cut vertically, miraculously stuck together by magnetic force, and the wound disappeared due to the properties of the surgical result.

Everything is back to normal!

Luo's eyes darkened.

This is the first time someone has been cut in half by him and then pieced back together using their own abilities. It seems that winning won't be so easy.

"Hahaha~ That's all there is to it!"

Kidd grinned and laughed wildly.

If you can defend against the opponent's slash, you've already won half the battle!
"Don't interfere, I'm going to kill this guy who has disgraced us!"

"."

The others exchanged glances, and with Kira nodding in acknowledgment, everyone turned their attention to Goode.

Since Kidd is confident, let him handle it. In terms of bounty alone, Kidd has always been the leader of the Worst Generation, and his strength is trustworthy.

There's an even more troublesome monster here.

"Magnetic force? Interesting."

Goode remained still, observing the battle between Kidd and Law.

Kidd used magnetism to piece his split body back together, which was somewhat unexpected, but upon closer inspection, it made no mistake, since the other party was itself a magnet.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Goode shifted his gaze.

Ap turned his back to the crowd, his eyes darting left and right as he signaled to Goode, seemingly seeking Goode's order to betray him.

Goode curled the corners of his mouth and shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no need to reveal anything.

The essence of undercover work should be reserved for the most crucial moments, but right now, there's absolutely no need for it.

"Then I'll play with you guys."

Goode stood up, his malicious gaze first fixed on Ap. To prevent Ap from revealing his identity, he decided to put him in a bad position.

"Huh???!"

Ap was stunned.

Hey boss, why are you looking at him like that?
