One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 112 Slave Chikara

Night falls, at the hotel.

Goode sat by the window, flipping through the list of contestants sent by the organizers; there were many names he had heard of.

One of them particularly intrigued him.

The Giants—Hayrdin!

In recent years, Hajrudin and his companions have been very active, traveling across various battlefields as mercenaries and making a name for themselves.

"This is the one!"

Goode made up his mind.

It's not just Big Mom; every faction craves the power of the giants, including the World Government, which has quite a few giant vice admirals in the Navy.

Kaido would be very happy if he could recruit a giant to join the Beasts, and Hajrudin alone would be enough to serve as one of the Flying Six.

Goode put down the list and looked at the thin, timid girl standing in the center of the room, dressed in coarse linen clothes.

The girl was about two meters tall, with pink hair and a pretty face, but she was too thin. Her chest was so thin that it looked like two screws were being tightened on a steel plate.

Severe malnutrition.

Despite its slender build, it possesses considerable strength; if properly trained, it could become a formidable fighting force.

However, what he valued in the girl was not her fighting ability, but her status as a Celestial Dragon slave. He remembered that slaves were very good at housework.

He happens to be short of a maid, and he doesn't know if this girl is up to the task.

Goode sized up the girl.

"What's your name?"

"Qiqi Kara".

Chikara's stiff smile and her clenched little hands, seemingly unsure of what to do, clearly showed signs of excessive tension and fear.

She already knew that the man in front of her had bought her and was her new master; from now on, her life belonged to him.

Don't cry, smile.

You'll be killed if you cry.

Goode nodded slightly.

"Take off your clothes."

"."

Chika shuddered, her trembling hands gripping the hem of her clothes, not out of shyness, but out of fear of death.

If the owner sees that mark, she will definitely be returned.

They might even be killed.

"Master, my body looks terrible."

"Take off!"

Goode spoke calmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Chikara closed her eyes in fear, took off her dirty clothes, and revealed her battered body.

There was hardly a single intact spot.

Looking at the scars, Goode could imagine the girl's painful experience, and Stussy also told her some information about the girl.

In order to make more money, the arena would beat Chikara half to death every time they had her fight before letting her fight back.

This is what slavery is.

They're not even as good as pets.

Goode came up behind Chikara, lifted the girl's long pink hair, and sure enough, he saw the mark.

Sky Soaring Dragon's Hoof!
If it were anyone else, they would probably be terrified the moment they saw this mark, as taking a Celestial Dragon as a slave is a grave crime.

Goode pointed to the bathroom and a set of clothes on the table.

"Wash yourself clean and change your clothes."

"Yes, Master."

Chikara grabbed her clothes and ran into the bathroom as if fleeing, curling up in the warm water and fighting back tears.

It was seen.

She was well aware of the consequences of being discovered.

Not long after, Chikara returned to Goode in her new clothes, nervously pulling down her skirt with her little hands.

Her buttocks are about to be exposed.

"It smells so good!"

The girl sniffed, her gaze drawn to the steaming chunks of meat on the table, and she swallowed hard.

"Gululu~~"

My belly is protesting.

Goode sat at the table writing something, issuing orders without looking up.

"Eat all of these."

"Yes, Master!"

A resounding and powerful response!
Chikara leaped to the table, grabbed a large chunk of meat with the bone, took a huge bite, and then chug down her beer. She wanted to eat her fill before she died!
In less than thirty seconds, the girl had licked the plate until it was shiny and bright, and a genuine smile of satisfaction appeared on her face.

She has no regrets in her life.

After watching the girl finish her meal, Goode handed her the neatly arranged bill and asked, "Can you read?"

"Ah."

Chikara nodded vigorously.

Goode nodded, pointing to the bill.

“Okay, let’s do the math. I spent 2000 million Berries to buy you, which means you now owe me 2000 million Berries. But I bought you to make a profit, so the price has to be doubled.”

"what?"

Chikara's mouth opened into an "O" shape.

Goode continued calculating.

"2000 million doubles to 4000 million. Rounding it up, you owe me 1 million Berries. Interest is calculated at 30% per year."

"From now on, any prize money you win in boxing, or any treasure you rob, will be split 30/70 as usual, you get 30% and I get 70%."

"If you can work, I can also pay you a monthly salary, the exact amount of which will depend on the work you do."

"Once you've paid off this debt, I'll set you free. Do you understand?"

Will I gain freedom after paying off the debt?
Chikara nodded blankly.

Goode smiled and said, "If you understand, then sign and put your fingerprint on the contract. There will be two copies of the contract, and you should keep one with you."

"."

Chikara's mind went blank, and she signed the contract like a puppet until she held it in her arms.

Large pearls gathered in the sockets of her eyes.

Don't cry, smile.

Goode was very satisfied with the girl's reaction.

For slaves, freedom is an irresistible temptation.

If he doesn't promise his employees lucrative opportunities, where will their motivation come from to work hard for him? He doesn't want his employees to be passive and slack off.

A positive mindset is very important.

With a positive and optimistic attitude, the girl might grow quickly and become an invaluable asset, earning him even more money.

Jiejiejie~~
"By the way, show me your fighting prowess in the arena."

"Owner--"

"Call me Lord Goode."

"Lord Goode, it's me."

Chika was nervous and uneasy.

"I can't fight, I can only clean. I'm really good at mopping floors, I can clean toilets, and I can do a lot of housework!"

"."

Goode's eyes turned cold, and a murderous intent erupted.

Should I beat you up first?

"Eh?!"

Chikara felt a chilling killing intent, as if she had fallen into an abyss. This was the first time she had ever experienced the feeling that she could die at any moment.

Fear filled my heart!
Driven by fear of death, the girl's eyes glowed red, and she gradually lost her reason.

"Woohoo!!!"

A beastly roar!

Chikara had completely changed; her eyes glowed red, her muscles tensed, and her limbs were twice as thick.

Chikara (Power Form)!
That wild, beast-like aura, that mad, predatory gaze, and his sharply defined, muscular body.

It's as if the word "invincible" is written all over his face.

Goode remained silent for a few seconds, withdrew his murderous aura, reached out and pressed down on the girl's head. With a slight exertion of his five fingers, the girl was immediately forced back to her original form, timid, helpless, and pitiful.

Unleash your killing intent!
"Oh oh oh!!!"

Pat on the head!

"Hmm~~"

Release the murderous aura, then pat his head.

"Oh oh oh!!!"

"Hmm~~"

After repeating this several times, Goode finally realized that Chikara wasn't lying to him; this girl, like the Hulk, really did have an alternate personality.

But it needs danger as a stimulus.

"Go box for me tomorrow to pay off your debt!"
