One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 360 Assemble, Form a Team!
Narcissus Island, eastern part.

As they approached the island, the Straw Hat crew quickly discovered the battle taking place there, and the terrifying energy fluctuations caused them all to turn pale.

"Who is fighting!"

"What is that? A dragon?!"

"Ughhhh, I've got a disease that will kill me if I go to the island!"

Even though they were far apart, everyone could still feel a chilling aura. The giant dragon that kept spewing flames and the mountains that had been cleaved open constantly demonstrated the horror of the battle.

This is definitely not a commotion that an ordinary expert could cause!

"That scent is so familiar."

Luffy stared blankly at the island.

For some reason, he felt that the aura of the powerful figure fighting the dragon was unusually familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

But this was clearly the first time he had ever witnessed such overwhelming power!
A figure suddenly appeared in my mind.

"Well, we'll find out when we go."

Luffy chuckled and adjusted his hat brim.

We'll be able to get to the island soon; we'll see when we get there.

"Boom!"

Just then, the ship suddenly shuddered.

"Whoa! Artillery fire!"

Everyone stumbled and fell, and the timid Usopp and his friends screamed in fright, thinking they were being attacked.

"Don't panic, it's not artillery fire!"

Zoro ran to the side of the ship and looked down at the reefs that were protruding from below.

"The hull of the boat struck a reef."

"No, it's the earth rising up!"

Sanji's pale face was an explanation.

To everyone's astonishment, the earth slowly rose, and a massive amount of seawater spread outwards, until a piece of land appeared before them in the blink of an eye.

Their ship was located in the center.

The tremor just now was caused by the earth colliding with the bottom of the ship when it rose.

"Boom~~"

The ground shook again, and huge stone pillars rose from the edge of the land, like the fences of an arena.

"This is!"

Sanji and Robin exchanged a glance, their faces instantly draining of color.

There is only one person in this world who can do this!
"Earth God" Groudon Good!

There is absolutely no chance of winning against them!
Sanji shouted anxiously, "Franky, use the Ludicrous Shot to get out of here!"

"get away?"

Frankie couldn't understand.

They've come all this way, and unless Luffy decides not to become the Pirate King, they have no reason to leave.

Therefore, even if the enemy is one of the Four Emperors, they will still defeat him!

Sanji wanted to explain, but his body stiffened.

That's too late.

Suddenly, two figures appeared above the cabin.

The Straw Hat crew was shocked. None of them noticed how the other party appeared; it was as if the other party had appeared out of thin air like a ghost.

"Qiang!"

Zoro drew his sword, sweat beading on his forehead.

The newcomer is extremely powerful!
The others were also on high alert.

"Yo, Sanji, Robin."

Goode stood above the cabin, smiling as he looked at the Straw Hat crew, first greeting Sanji and Robin.

"Long time no see!"

"Mr. Goode!"

Sanji took out his cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag to relieve the pressure surging within him.

He was well aware of the opponent's strength.

"Sanji, Robin!"

The other two looked at them and asked eagerly.

"Do you know him?"

"Yes, I know you."

Sanji nodded slowly, his eyes filled with gloom: "During the two years we were apart, Robin and I worked in the organization the other founded." "Were you friends?"

The group looked at Goode, their confusion growing.

Looking at that familiar face, Nami thought for a moment, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she was so shocked that she almost suffocated.

"I've seen him in the newspaper!"

"I think I've seen this before!"

They were too tense just now and didn't observe the intruder's appearance much, nor did they connect him with that important figure. But now that they've calmed down, they're gradually realizing something is wrong.

"He is the commander-in-chief of Hoenn!"

"Earth God—Good!"

"I remember, he was the vice-captain of the Beast Pirates, one of the Four Emperors!"

In recent years, Goode's photos frequently appeared in newspapers, triggering numerous world-shaking events and establishing a political organization capable of rivaling the world government.

It's safe to say that everyone knows Goode.

However, in the past year, Goode has kept a low profile and rarely appears in public, which is why Nami and the others did not realize Goode's identity.

"Since you all know me, I won't beat around the bush."

Goode smiled and asked, "You have the historical inscriptions on the road markers, right?"

"."

Everyone's expressions changed.

It really was for the inscription on the road sign!
Having arrived at Narcissus Island, the most important thing next was to compete for the inscription on the road marker, something they were already mentally prepared for.

No one expected that the world's strongest man would come looking for them.

Jackpot!

When asked by Goode, Luffy answered decisively, "That's right, we have two copies of the inscription on the road marker!"

"Idiot, why did you tell him!"

The rest of the people collectively got angry.

At this point, you should try to gloss over the situation and avoid conflict as much as possible, otherwise, how could the other party possibly let them off the hook?

"Two portions! You guys are really something!"

Goode praised him generously, then pondered for a moment before making a suggestion.

"I need your road inscriptions. How about this: I have three road inscriptions here. If you can beat me, you can take two. If I win, your two road inscriptions are mine. How about that?"

"Hey, are you serious?!"

Usopp asked in surprise.

They have two copies, while the other side has three. As long as they are not all duplicates, it means they can collect all four copies of the road stele text.

Even if they are all duplicates, the other party still has a copy of the road marker text that they don't have.

"of course."

Goode's lips curled into a smile.

"Also, I want to add another bet. If I lose, I can grant you any one of your requests. If I win, the Straw Hat Pirates will disband on the spot. Is that alright, Captain Monkey D. Luffy?"

"no problem!"

Luffy agreed without hesitation.

He was prepared to die before he set sail, and he understood that to become the Pirate King, he had to have the courage to give up everything.

"Wait, Luffy!"

Usopp anxiously grabbed Luffy and looked at Good: "Hey, in this battle, our only enemy is you, right? You didn't bring a lot of subordinates with you, did you?"

The man before them had countless elite generals under his command. If the other side didn't have any martial ethics and summoned his men to join the battle, they would be exhausted to death.

"Don't worry, it's just me."

Goode raised his chin slightly, his gaze indifferent.

"To deal with you, I only need one hand."

"A hand?!"

Usopp swallowed hard.

This guy is terrifying!
Good shook his head slightly and walked through the Straw Hat crew: "Let's go somewhere else, if you don't want to damage the ship."

The battlefield is below.

Watching Goode leave, the Straw Hat crew looked at each other.

After setting off again, they defeated many powerful opponents and arrived here. During this time, Luffy dealt with the leaders of the enemies, and they also had their own opponents.

But this time, the enemy was only one person!
"lets go!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"
