One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 113 A Message for Shanks
The foremost general, Earthly Calamity, Heavenly Yaksha.

The participation of these three important figures has further increased the attention on the Central Fighting Tournament, drawing forces from all sides to Champion Island.

"The King of Loans" Du Field, "The Great Journalist" Morgans, "The Shipping King" Umit, and other underground emperors all made their appearances.

"Gurgle, gurgle! This is a once-in-a-decade event!"

"I never expected to witness a battle between a Sweet Commander and a Disaster, as well as the Seven Warlords of the Sea. They're all big shots!"

"Hmm, it's a pity that this conference has already spread throughout the underworld; it's not worth transporting."

"Stusi, I heard you've been getting quite close to that calamity lately!"

"It's shameful for a grown man to gossip about girls. Stop doing that!"

The underground emperors entered the venue together, many of whom were the sponsors of the fighting tournament and were very interested in the competition.

Upon arriving at the spectator room, Du Feld took out a special fruit covered in patterns and grinned.

"Such a grand event naturally deserves prizes of considerable value!"

"Devil Fruit?!"

The others were taken aback.

Devil Fruits cost at least 100 million Berries, and they are so rare that even if you have the money, it's very difficult to buy one.

"Felder, you've really brought out something rare!"

"Hahaha, compared to the significance of the participants in this tournament, a mere Devil Fruit as a prize seems rather cheap."

The underground emperors nodded in agreement.

Neither Doflamingo nor the two Yonko crews really cared that much about ordinary Devil Fruits, as the three forces already possessed a large number of Devil Fruit users.

“Felder”.

Morgans asked with a smile, "You've heard about what happened on Beehive Island, haven't you?"

"of course."

Feld grinned, clearly understanding Morgans's meaning; in the underworld, who didn't know his reputation as an angel investor?

"It's definitely a project worth investing in!"

"If you'd like to get involved, I can help you make the connection."

Stussy joined in the fun, doing a favor effortlessly while also gaining Goode's favor—a sure-fire way to make money.

"Not urgent."

Feld waved his hand with a smile: "If the Disaster wins the championship, then I really need to seriously consider it!"

In the underground world, the principle of venture capital is simple: whoever has the bigger reputation has investment value.

Reputation is the best proof of ability.

If Geological Disaster wins the championship at this conference, the Beehive Island community, dominated by Geological Disaster, will see a significant increase in value. Not to mention him, everyone present wants a piece of the pie.

However, if the Earthquake War is lost, it's questionable whether the Beehive Island community can continue to exist. Without its deterrent power, even the beasts will face numerous challenges.

After all, geological disasters have quite a appetite!
"Let's wait and see!"

The fighting tournament venue is laid out like terraced fields, with each level leading upwards. The participating warriors will start their charge from the first level, and only those who can reach the top are qualified to compete for the championship.

Countless warriors gathered here.

The most eye-catching figure was undoubtedly that towering figure, standing like a small mountain on the first floor of the venue.

The new era warriors of Elbaf.

"The strongest pirate mercenary" Hajrudin.

"I will become the king of the giants!"

Haildin swung his fist and slammed it into the ground. The immense force instantly shattered the earth, and the powerful impact sent all the surrounding warriors flying.

The terrifying power of the giants astounded the audience.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Goode gazed at Haildin on another battlefield.

Okay, okay, he likes it!
"Hey!"

The red-haired swordsman with an afro blocked Goode's path, his eyes brimming with barely suppressed excitement: "You must be the Calamity of the Beasts. I never expected to meet such a big shot here. My name is Loxda. You should have heard of me!"

"No, I've never heard of it." Goode waved his hand forcefully, expressionless.

"Hey, stop joking around."

Rockstar didn't believe it and pointed to himself: "Me? Rockstar, with a bounty of 9400 million Berries, you must have heard of me!"

"I've never heard of it."

"."

Loxda knelt on the ground, his red afro drooping from the negativity, looking rather pitiful.

Good was speechless.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to the guy with the afro. Since this kid was working so hard, he decided to give him a chance.

“If you really have nowhere to go, you can come to Beehive Island to find me in a month, and I’ll arrange a job for you.”

"Damn it, don't underestimate me!"

Loxda stood up angrily, drew her sword and pointed it at Goode: "My idol is that redhead, I have no intention of joining the Beasts, I'm here to challenge you!"

"Red hair?"

Goode let out a soft "hmm".

He seemed to have a vague recollection of the Red-Haired Pirates having an apprentice. Could this be the kid?
He looks like a nobody, the kind you wouldn't recognize in a crowd, which fits quite well with the style of the Red-Haired Pirates's underlings.

"Take this, geological disaster!"

Rockdale leaped into the air, wielding his sword with both hands as he slashed at Goode!
"Crack!"

The blade struck Goode's shoulder and then broke in two. The spinning blade flew past Loxda's face, leaving a bloody gash.

My sword is broken?

Loxda stared in shock at the broken blade.

His blade was coated with Armament Haki!
What an incredibly strong physique!
"Really, how could swords possibly cut through flesh that has been tempered a thousand times?"

Goode patted the dust off his shoulder, walked up to Rockstar, and said with a smile, "I'll spare you from beating you up since you're quite cute. If you ever actually join the Red-Haired Pirates, please give Shanks a message for me."

"What?"

Loxda swallowed hard.

Is war about to break out?

Or a threat?

Could it be that they're forming an alliance?
Goode chuckled and stretched out both hands to scratch: "Just say to Redhead like this: [Mongrel~ Mongrel, Mongrel~ Mongrel]."

"."

Loxtron was stunned.

"Okay, I have something else to do."

Good looked toward Halding's position, leaned forward, and his bent legs swelled up, with veins bulging on their surface.

The next second, the ground beneath their feet cracked layer by layer!

"boom!!!"

With a deafening sonic boom, Goode vanished instantly.

Loxda collapsed to the ground, staring at Goode disappearing into the sky, speechless with shock for a long time.

This is what a true powerhouse is!
On the other side, the battlefield.

Haildin raised his arms and roared, his feet surrounded by unconscious warriors, his overwhelming power sweeping across the battlefield.

"Who else dares to challenge me?!"

"boom!"

As if in response, a dark shadow fell from the sky and landed in front of him, the strong impact almost knocking him over.

As the smoke cleared, a burly figure appeared before him.

Heldin's pupils contracted sharply.

"Disaster - Good!"
