One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 363 The Straw Hat Crew Disbands
After his brush with death, Straw Hat Luffy seems to have become a completely different person. Not only has his Haki increased significantly, but his movements have also become much more agile.

This time, Straw Hat didn't activate his strongest Gear Fourth, but instead activated Gear Second, his whole body emitting smoke.

"Whoosh!"

In Gear Second, Luffy's physical abilities are greatly enhanced. He uses Shave to vanish and instantly appears above Good.

Luffy roared and swung his fist.

"Rubber-Powered Fire Pistol!!!"

The elongated and gigantic fist was engulfed in flames!

Goode's gaze sharpened, and he raised his greatsword to thrust it into the sky. At this moment, the straw hat's attack could already pose a threat to him.

"Fuck!"

The sword blade pierced the surface of the fist, creating streaks of black lightning. The stalemate lasted less than three seconds before the sword tip pierced through the skin!

"puff!"

Blood blooms!

"Well!"

Luffy groaned in pain, but instead of retracting his bleeding fist, he swung it even harder, his fist engulfing the sword blade.

Goode's expression changed slightly.

Even if my palm is pierced, should I still punch him?

"The determination to destroy everything is admirable, but unfortunately, the wrong target was chosen."

Good shook his head and stamped his foot.

Several pillars of lava pierced out from his side, lifting the straw hat's fist, the scorching heat making the straw hat's eyes bloodshot.

"Ughhhh, it's so hot!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Luffy screamed as he pulled back his fist and blew hard on his swollen fist to cool it down, finally relieving some of the pain.

But during this brief period of pain relief, a dozen or so pillars of magma enveloped him in the center, contracting and squeezing him like a cage, trapping him inside.

"This kind of thing!"

Luffy's fist was crackling with Haki, ready to create an opening, but a scene suddenly flashed through his mind.

The lava glowed, and raging flames shot into the sky!

He foresaw the future!

Using the ability to foresee the future requires absolute calmness, making it difficult to maintain in battle, especially when allies are on the verge of death.

At that moment, the threat of death made him instinctively see the future.

Luffy looked at the gap in the sky, stretched out his hands and grabbed the top of the rock pillar. The scorching heat made his hands smoke, but he had no other choice.

"Rubber Escape Rocket!"

"boom!!!"

The rock pillar exploded, and a cloud of flames rose up.

"Wow ah ah!"

The straw hat bounced off the flames and landed, immediately slapping at the flames on its body. It cried out in pain from the burns, but at least it avoided serious injury.

"Have you sensed the danger?"

Goode raised an eyebrow slightly.

Straw Hat's response was somewhat unexpected; in his mind, the stubborn Straw Hat was most likely to choose a head-on confrontation.

Predicting the future?

With a thought, Goode used Observation Haki to shield his own aura, so that even if Straw Hat had mastered the ability to foresee the future, he would not be able to sense him.

Foreseeing the future is not invincible; there are corresponding countermeasures.

"what happened?!"

Luffy immediately noticed something was wrong.

He couldn't sense Goode; it was as if the other person had completely vanished, and there was no trace of him in the future world.

Only the eyes can see Goode.

"Damn it, whatever!"

Luffy couldn't understand it, so he simply stopped thinking about all this nonsense and rushed towards Good at top speed.

He wanted to test that power!
"A frontal assault?"

Goode saw Luffy charging towards him and immediately raised his greatsword to slash down.

Upon seeing this, Luffy leaped up and kicked the descending greatsword with all his might with his right foot, which was clad in slippers.

"Qiang!"

Black lightning explodes!

The sword blade and the slipper did not touch!

"Conqueror's Haki Entanglement!"

Goode's eyes were calm as he gradually increased the force in his right hand, which was gripping the greatsword, causing veins to bulge on the surface of his arm.

"Straw Hat Boy, it is indeed commendable that you were able to master Conqueror's Haki Entanglement so quickly, but there are differences between Conqueror's Haki."

As soon as he finished speaking, Goode's domineering aura surged violently, and even the semi-transparent phantom of Godora appeared.

"Ow!!!"

Groudon roared, and a terrifying burst of Haki enveloped Straw Hat Luffy, instantly shattering his fragile Conqueror's Haki!

The two sides' Conqueror's Haki were on completely different levels!
"It's over!" The greatsword slashed down!

"puff!"

Straw Hat Luffy was covered in blood and fell straight to the ground. A huge bloodstain from his shoulder to his waist almost split him in two!
"Cough~ cough~~"

Luffy coughed up blood, his eyes rolled back, and his slightly heaving chest proved that he was still alive, but it was only a matter of time before he died.

"Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~"

Goode lowered his greatsword, and drops of blood continued to trickle from the tip.

The Straw Hat's strength is quite good, but the gap between them is too big. The fact that he has been able to fight him for so long is only because he has been holding back.

In this world, the only one he's unsure about is Im; he's confident he can defeat anyone else, even Kaido.

"Qiang!"

The greatsword was stuck in the ground.

"Boom!"

The ground trembled slightly, and soon rocks rose from the ground one by one. In less than a minute, a rugged and majestic rock throne appeared.

Goode sat on the throne, resting his chin on one hand, his calm gaze looking down at the Straw Hat Boy waiting to die below.

He wanted to see if the Straw Hat Boy would die from blood loss or if he could pull off a miracle and be reborn as Nika.

"Ta~ta~"

A man wearing a headscarf walked over, his abdomen dripping with blood.

Roronoa Zoro.

Goode looked at Zoro coming down below and a smile crept onto his face.

"You're not dead yet."

"I'm going to become the world's greatest swordsman, and I won't die so easily!"

Zoro clutched his abdomen, his body teetering on the brink of collapse, his three swords nowhere to be seen. He had managed to break free and arrive here entirely through sheer willpower.

"thump!"

The man knelt on both knees, with his hands and forehead pressed against the ground.

"Please spare our captain!"

This scene has happened before.

Zoro was just one step away from his dream, and he was filled with resentment, but he had no other choice.

In return, take my head!

"Your head?"

Goode smiled knowingly.

"And mine!"

Sanji also came to the throne.

The stab wound to the abdomen was not enough to kill him.

Sanji was panting heavily.

"Mr. Goode, my head, the former head chef of the Hoenn government, is worth ten times more than this stinking green algae head. Kill me if you must, but please spare their lives for the sake of our past relationship!"

"Well, that's true."

Good stroked his chin.

"However, you two seem to have misunderstood something. You are now my prisoners, and all your lives are in my hands. What right do you have to negotiate with me?"

"."

The two men looked grim.

That's indeed the case. Negotiations are supposed to be based on a relatively equal footing, and they were simply the defeated party.

Goode snorted coldly.

"I can spare Straw Hat Luffy's life, and I have no grudge against him, but can you guarantee that he will give up the One Piece and withdraw from this competition?"

"."

Zoro and Sanji remained silent.

Luffy is unlikely to listen.

Goode stood up, drew his greatsword, and walked towards Straw Hat Luffy. He waited for a while, but Straw Hat Luffy didn't transform into Nika. He had lost his patience.

Zoro and Sanji tried to stop them, but the air felt as heavy as mud, making it difficult for them to move an inch.

That's the domineering aura of Goode!

Goode raised his greatsword, its blade gleaming in the sunlight, and then swung it down at the straw hat below.

"Shh!"

The iconic straw hat is split in two.

Along with it, Straw Hat Boy's hand and foot also cracked open.

This sword severed Nika's future.

"I'm taking Robin with me. Don't worry about her safety. And you, Sanji, remember to go back to work. The soldiers at Hoenn Headquarters miss your cooking. Don't keep them waiting too long."

Goode coldly sheathed his greatsword, turned to look at the trembling Zoro and his companion, and announced the fate of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"The Straw Hat Pirates are disbanded!"
