One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 359 I'm determined to be the Pirate King!

With the addition of the road stele rubbings gifted by Katakuri, Wano Country, Zou, and now Katakuri, the Beasts now possess three road stele inscriptions.

"Only the last piece of text on the road marker is missing!"

Holding the three inscriptions on the road markers, Kaido's emotions gradually surged, and he no longer had any doubts about Goode's initial prediction.

He felt the tide of the times.

The Pirate King will appear soon, and all he has to do is defeat all the challengers and obtain the final piece of the road marker text.

Then, head to Laugh Tale!

"Hmm, I'm going out for a walk!"

Kaido laughed as he shouldered his spiked club.

At this moment, he was bursting with energy, unable to calm down, and desperately craving battle.

Whoever it is, come and be his opponent!

Three days later, in the southwestern sea area.

Red-haired New Ship—Red Force.

"Boss, we can see Narcissus Island!"

Lackey put down his binoculars and looked back at his captain, while the other officers also looked at Shanks.

Everyone knows that Narcissus Island is currently a den of thieves and a ravine, teeming with pirates, among whom the most troublesome are the Hundred Beasts.

Those are their mortal enemies!
But the final battle has begun, and to obtain the great treasure, one must forge ahead and defeat all opponents.

Once defeated, there is no hope of redemption!
Shanks came to the bow of the ship and looked out over the island.

He could clearly sense Kaido's fierce and domineering fighting spirit, and could even guess that the person Kaido was waiting for was him.

"Hongo, where is Luffy?"

"Their progress is about the same as ours!"

Benxiang's expression was grave.

Like them, Luffy is also heading to Narcissus Island, and along the way he has defeated many powerful opponents.

He had calculated the distance, and Luffy was most likely nearby; even if there were some discrepancies, they wouldn't be too significant.

Shanks remained silent for a long time before drawing his sword.

"Then let's take the lead!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Everyone smiled.

They knew very well that the final battle with the beasts was inevitable, and they had been living in utter frustration for the past two years, longing for this day to come!
"set off!"

The pirate ship sped forward and soon approached the port of Hoenn Resort.

Before they even reached the shore, the red-haired man suddenly focused his gaze, ran towards the back of the ship, jumped onto the wall of the cabin for leverage, and leaped off towards the island!
"come yet."

Upon witnessing this scene, the crew members all grabbed their weapons; clearly, the captain saw a terrible future ahead.

"Uro ro ro!!!"

The Azure Dragon poked its head out from the clouds, opened its mouth wide, and flames gathered in its mouth, quickly forming a blazing fireball.

"Hot breath!!!"

Pillars of fire engulfed the red-haired man's ship!
"Qiang!"

A flash of black and red light appeared, heat burst forth from the middle, and scorching waves of fire swept across the sides of the ship, creating two giant waves a kilometer long.

The momentum is astonishing.

"It's the red-haired pirates!"

"Red-Haired Shanks and Kaido are fighting!"

"Go and have a look!"

Inside the Hoenn Resort, various factions, including the Cross Guild, the Worst Alliance, and Tales of the World, poured out of the resort to watch the battle in the distance.

According to the time division, Goode and the Cross Guild were among the first to arrive, while the Evil Alliance and the Kingdoms were among the second.

Redheads belong to the last batch.

In recent days, the various forces have frequently clashed with each other, but because no one has produced the inscription on the road sign, they have remained relatively restrained.

Nobody wants to work hard for nothing and end up with heavy losses.

Intelligence is the most important thing.

Most importantly, no one has collected all four road marker inscriptions yet, otherwise the other side would definitely go to Laugh Tale and become everyone's target.

Most factions are waiting for the emergence of a faction that can collect all four road markers. Otherwise, it would be difficult to collect the text of the four road markers on their own, and they might end up doing the work for someone else.

"Pull the boat over!"

With Jack's roar, the Beast Fleet charged toward the Red Force. Three big bosses, the Flying Six, countless true fighters, and powerful weapons like the Barbarian Overlord.

The Beasts Pirates have launched a full-scale attack!

The cadres roared in unison on the "Red Force" ship.

"Quick, get to shore!"

"We can't fight at sea!"

"Breakout!"

They only have one ship now, without any help. In a contest of sturdy ships and powerful cannons, they are no match for the beasts.

Only by getting ashore can we have a chance of winning.

From the moment the Red-Haired Pirates appeared to the moment they started fighting, it only took one exchange, and the intense battle left the audience somewhat dumbfounded.

Before either side could even exchange a harsh word, they were already fighting until their brains were splattered.

What on earth could cause such a grudge?

Before that, although the Beasts Pirates were a bit more aggressive, they were still relatively restrained, and the pirates would drink and fight together.

In short, it wouldn't be to kill someone upon meeting them.

Resort, wooden buildings.

Good watched as Kaido and Shanks fought their battle. The two had already entered the island, and the aftershocks of their battle alone caused dust to rise in the forest.

It's the final battle, and neither side has any way out. It's foreseeable that only one of the two great pirate crews will survive.

As for why the beasts didn't attack other forces...

"A bunch of poor bastards, there's no profit to be made."

Goode smiled and shook his head.

The four strongest factions now, which can also be called the new Four Emperors, are Whole Cake Island, Cross Guild, and the Worst Alliance.

He communicated with the other three parties, but none of them had the final inscription on the road stele. Even if they did have the inscription, it was a duplicate.

If there were any remaining small fry, they would have already offered them to the four major powers. Small fry have their own awareness.

This is the biggest reason why the beasts were not wiped out.

No need.

Therefore, the last piece of the road marker is most likely in the hands of Shanks or the Straw Hat crew. Coupled with old grudges, war is inevitable.

"Whoosh!"

Speed ​​appeared next to Goode.

"Lord Goode, the Straw Hat Pirates' ship has been spotted in the eastern sea!"

"it is good!"

A light shone in Goode's eyes.

It's finally here, so let him personally shatter the straw hat's dream!

"Let's go and meet them!"

"Yes!"

Speed ​​placed his hand on Goode's back, and with a "whoosh," the two disappeared.

East Coast.

A dozen kilometers away in the sea, the Thousand Sunny is sailing.

"finally reached!"

The Straw Hat crew was in high spirits, and even the cowardly trio were no longer afraid, with only one thought in their minds.

Let Luffy become the Pirate King!

According to the information they knew, the island ahead was the final stop on the Grand Line, and beyond that was Laugh Tale!
The final battle!

"Hey, cook."

"I know."

Zoro and Sanji stood together, and surprisingly, they didn't argue.

Anyone who isn't a fool should know how dangerous the island ahead is, but as long as they win the tough battles to come, they will be able to see Luffy become the "Pirate King"!
"Luffy!"

"Luffy! Luffy! Luffy~~"

The crew members chanted Luffy's name, their eyes filled with absolute trust in him and anticipation for their dream to come true.

Not only Luffy's dream, but their dreams are also ahead: Zoro's dream of becoming the world's greatest swordsman, Robin's historical truth, and Nami's world map.
Luffy, holding his straw hat, came to the bow of the ship as the sea breeze blew, then opened his arms and shouted out those words.

"One Piece, I'm determined!"
