One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 357 Conqueror's Haki and Luck

Time passes day by day.

The situation in the new world has changed dramatically.

With powerful figures like the Golden Lion and the Golden Emperor being dethroned one after another, new talents are rapidly rising, while the older generation is also stirring up trouble.

All forces are converging on Narcissus Island, including both powerful individuals and some lucky, lowly pirate crews.

The World Government has not reacted to the rapidly changing situation, or rather, it no longer has the ability to intervene, and it has even stopped updating the bounty.

All their energy was focused on the Hoenn government.

Narcissus Island, on the eastern coast.

"Hohoho, this must be it!"

The menacing pirate crew landed and quickly discovered the resort under construction, grinning maliciously.

"Stop everyone!"

The vicious pirate roared and revealed a malicious smile.

"Hohohoho, listen up! I am the great pirate Teabeard, with a bounty of over 8000 million! From this moment on, this island belongs to me!"

"Tea Beard?"

The workers looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Have you heard of it?"

"No."

"What a stupid name!"

"This guy is pretty big, he should be able to help carry the wood."

After a while.

Tea-bearded man, with two streams of hot tears on his face and a bulge of hair on his head, worked hard.

"It hurts!"

As a notorious pirate with a bounty of over 8000 million, he was defeated by an inconspicuous worker on a construction site, who was not an executive but just an ordinary employee.

very scary!
The news quickly reached Goode's ears.

"Tea-bearded man? I don't recall him."

Goode's features scrunched up, and he felt so frustrated that he wanted to light a cigarette.

In the past few days, more than one group of pirates has arrived at Narcissus Island. The problem is that these pirates are almost all small fry, relying entirely on luck.

With a large number of members in a small pirate crew, some are bound to have exceptional luck, but even he had to go through countless trials to reach the destination, which made him somewhat frustrated.

Why?

But we should also thank these minor figures for contributing to his resort and accelerating its construction.

It's opening soon!

"Lord Goode!"

His subordinate came running up, panting, and pointed to the southwest coast, shouting, "Found! Found the Cross Guild's fleet!"

"The Cross Guild? Bucky the Clown?"

Goode raised an eyebrow.

Indeed, when it comes to things that rely on luck, how could we do without this amazing person?

Southwest coast.

A pirate ship resembling a circus docks.

"Found it, it's Narcissus Island!"

"As expected of Captain Bucky!"

"It's truly a miracle!"

The pirates looked excitedly at the high platform.

Along the way, they encountered countless hardships and dangers, but under Captain Bucky's protection, they miraculously crossed this deadly sea and successfully reached Narcissus Island.

Captain Bucky saved them!
The pirates excitedly raised their swords.

"Bucky! Bucky! Bucky!"

"Gahahahaha!"

Bucky laughed wildly, but tears streamed down his face.

Don't idolize him like that!
Damn it, I'm going to get beaten up again soon!

"From the lookout tower, the sentry shouts."

"Lord Buggy, enemies have been spotted on the island!"

"Is there an enemy?"

Bucky shuddered.

How come someone is faster than him?

Upon realizing the change in the situation, he immediately risked his life, relying on his subordinates' admiration and trust to lead the "royal fathers" in a search for the great treasure.

He should be the fastest!

Everyone I encounter at this stage is a competitor.

"Damn it, who is it?!"

"Eh?!"

The sentry was stunned for a moment, then his eyes filled with tears.

"As expected of Lord Buggy, he didn't panic at all even when facing the legendary Earth God Good!"

"Wow, that kind of demeanor is so captivating!"

"Brothers, we absolutely cannot let Lord Bucky lose face. Prepare for battle and show that guy the power of the Cross Guild!"

"Whoa whoa whoa!!!" To Buggy's bewildered gaze, the pirates roared and surged toward the shore.

what happened?!

"Bucky, get to the conference room!"

"Crack!"

Bucky's body stiffened like a machine as he turned his head to look inside with a series of clicks.

It's all over! It's all over! It's all over! It's all over!

Inside the cabin, the cadres were shrouded in gloom.

Bucky's head was hanging on the wall, his face covered in swollen bumps.

Crocodile frowned.

"I never expected that man would be on Narcissus Island."

"From what I know, Mr. Goode shouldn't be interested in the One Piece."

Jinbe asked, puzzled.

They heard the sentry's shout, and were surprised and puzzled at the same time, since Mr. Goode's status did not require the Great One Piece to highlight it.

Are you here just to watch the fun?

Hawkeye, with his knife slung over his shoulder, leaned against the door and coldly reminded everyone, "Now is not the time to think about these things. If we don't get out soon, those idiots might mess things up."

"That's right."

Crocodile nodded.

He didn't want to clash with Goode.

In fact, they had never intended to participate in the struggle for the One Piece. The Cross Guild valued the Utopia, which could exist independently, more than the unrealistic One Piece.

Crocodile stood up, looked around, and then his gaze froze.

Why isn't Boa Hancock here?

"She got ashore."

Hawkeye shook his head slightly.

He happened to see Hancock leave just as he heard Goode's name.

"Let's hurry up too."

"it is good."

Coastside.

Goode stood on the beach, looking at the Cross Guild's fleet, which included several warships besides the rather comical circus flagship.

Those are the boats of the cadres.

With the Cross Guild's investment, the financial pressure was minimal, and there was enough money to build ships. Even Crocodile got a new crocodile ship.

"Good!"

On the sea, Hancock, standing on her beloved pet Salome, approached the shore at an extremely fast speed, and then leaped over it once she was close enough.

"Oh!"

They bumped right into each other.

Then, the woman's face flushed, and she quickly distanced herself from Goode, turning her back to him while poking her fingers, her face red.

"Good luck!"

"Long time no see, Hancock."

Goode greeted him with a smile.

It’s been a long time indeed.

Under his arrangement, Amazon Lily has integrated with the Hoenn government and no longer relies on plundering to subsidize the country.

Therefore, the existence of the Kuja Pirates is dispensable; it is merely being preserved temporarily as a tradition.

Joining the Cross Guild was just to give them something to do; after all, it would be quite difficult to get Hancock and her skilled subordinates to follow the rules.

A simple "long time no see" immediately overloaded Hancock's pig brain.

Is Goode missing me?

Longing = Marriage!

Just then, the throng of pirates, wading through the waves and brandishing their weapons, raced toward the shore.

"Brothers, come on!"

"Don't be afraid, he's just a human being!"

"For Captain Bucky!"

Ok? ? ?
Goode was filled with questions as he watched the pirates rush towards him.

How dare these small fry?
Who gave them the courage!
The woman glanced at Hancock, then squatted on the ground, still swooning over her crush, lost in some kind of fantasy.

Good sighed helplessly, his gaze turning cold as he looked at the pirates who were now almost within reach, and a murderous aura erupted from him.

"thump!"

The pirates all slid to their knees in unison, without the slightest hesitation.

"We're sorry, please spare us!"

"."

Good was speechless.

Hey, hey, hey, where's your backbone?!

"Summon your captain to see me!"
