One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 122 The Teleportation Fruit!

Beehive Island, port.

Goode, supporting his back, disembarked.

The long voyage lasting several days not only caused severe vomiting, but also put immense pressure on the kidneys, a double blow indeed.

Behind him.

Runti and Speed ​​whispered to each other.

"Speed, you look great these past few days!"

"Eh? Is there any?"

"Of course! Your complexion is so rosy it's practically glowing! Have you been using some high-end skincare products? Share your secrets with me!"

"I'm useless now!"

"Don't hide it, tell me now!"

"You really want to know?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

"Actually, that's it."

"Really? I'll launch a night raid tonight!"

Hearing the whispers behind him and the predatory gaze that seemed to want to devour him, Goode's legs went weak and his back ached.

It's just a Devil Fruit, is it really necessary to torture him all night long? What kind of body can withstand that?

Even a juicer isn't this ruthless!

"I never expected it to be that ability."

Although his legs were sore from being squeezed, Good was still quite pleasantly surprised.

Paramecia type: Teleportation Fruit.

Without his interference, the power of this Devil Fruit would have been obtained, or rather, hunted down, by Blackbeard's subordinate, Van Augur.

The effect is simple and brutal.

The user can teleport instantly and can also teleport others with them; the maximum range of movement is currently unknown.

According to Speed, she can teleport to any location within her sight, or she can teleport using her Observation Haki.

Extremely powerful ability.

Speed ​​is a sniper, and the combination with the teleportation fruit works quite well. If his dual-color Haki can also be enhanced, he will become one of his most formidable allies in the future.

This is the unique charm of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits; like a lottery, no one knows whether they will win the grand prize before eating one.

If the tournament organizers had a Devil Fruit encyclopedia, they would never have shown this fruit. However, Devil Fruit encyclopedias are extremely rare, and most are held by the World Government.

Even the Whitebeard Pirates didn't have a Devil Fruit encyclopedia, otherwise they would have eaten the Dark-Dark Fruit the moment they got it, and it wouldn't have ended up in Blackbeard's hands.

"coming!"

Babanuki, with a group of workers, had been waiting at the port for a long time. Upon seeing Goode, he immediately stood at attention and saluted.

The resounding slogans echoed throughout the port.

"Welcome, Lord Goode!"

"Ok!"

Goode nodded in satisfaction.

That's really good, it's impressive.

"Let's go."

Goode looked up and saw the towering city walls in the distance. Although they were small and not as large as a naval fortress, they were still quite magnificent.

Especially the cannons above the city walls.

Full of deterrence!
Moreover, being able to build a small military fortress on Beehive Island, a gathering place for pirates, is itself quite an amazing thing.

Fortress gate.

No, it's the community entrance.

Marco leaned against the wall and gave Goode a finger-raising greeting.

"Hey, long time no see!"

"Marco?"

Goode was somewhat surprised.

"Why are you here?"

"This is our territory, what's so strange about me being here!"

Marco responded irritably.

How could he not oversee such a major project as building a city? If he hadn't been there, all the steel bars on the construction site would have been stolen by nightfall.

There are quite a few petty thieves among the pirates.

Marco's gaze sharpened.

"I heard you defeated Katakuri?"

"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning!"

Good crossed his arms and raised his chin.

At that time on Champion Island, he had an absolute advantage in terms of terrain and energy that seemed to be inexhaustible, making it difficult for him to lose.

If the location were different, such as a mirror space, it would be a tough battle, and there might even be a slight possibility of losing, for example, if Katakuri kept playing hide-and-seek and wore him down.

In addition, Katakuri's Armament Haki is much stronger than his, and it hurts a lot when it hits him. However, his defense after transformation is almost at its maximum, only slightly weaker than Kaido and Big Mom.

Currently, the power within him is still in its youth stage. Once it evolves into its adult, complete form, it will definitely be no less powerful than Kaido's Azure Dragon form and Big Mom's Steel Balloon, or even a combination of the two.

Its only drawback is that it can't fly. But it doesn't want to fly either; standing on the ground makes it feel so much more secure!

"A trivial matter?"

Marco watched Goode showing off and really wanted to fight him.

Little things?

This matter has been the talk of the underworld for a long time, and now the pirates on Beehive Island have to bring it up to discuss it when they drink.

Even his father was shocked when he found out.

Katakuri made a name for himself in his teens and has remained undefeated for thirty years.

His fame is second only to the Four Emperors!
Moreover, he had fought Katakuri several times without a clear winner, and he knew very well how strong Katakuri was.

I really can't understand how Goode won.

Good looked around.

Where are the rest of your group?

"We've set sail."

Marco was extremely frustrated.

Dad didn't want to get involved and went on a sea voyage with his friends, but he was extremely concerned, so he stayed behind to look after the house.

Occasionally, they would even help with some chores.

After all, you're just idling around anyway.

"come in!"

Marco turned and walked inside, his tone rather smug: "It's completely different here compared to when you left, don't be surprised!"

"Look over there, I planted that row of trees myself, and I also planted the flowers in that flower bed."

"Without my regenerating flames, they wouldn't grow so easily!"

Marco was very pleased with himself.

He also contributed to this project!
I feel so accomplished!
Goode followed Marco, his gaze strange.

I always feel like these guys are born with the constitution of a working stiff.

It's one thing for Yamato to enjoy working, after all, he's naive and easily fooled, and having been trapped on Onigashima since childhood, he really needs to satisfy his sense of accomplishment of being needed by others.

Kids are all like that.

They'll praise you a few times and then go all out.

But Marco still had this "I'm proud of my work" attitude, even though you're the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division!

Okay, okay, he likes it.

Goode quickly clapped.

"Wow, Marco, you're amazing!"

"This tree is growing so well."

"I never would have guessed, Marco, that you're a landscaping expert!"

Marco was embarrassed by the praise and scratched his head with a smile, saying, "Actually, I'm not that good. I just come over to help out occasionally."

"Don't be modest, if it were me, I definitely couldn't grow such beautiful green plants!"

Good gave a thumbs up.

like!

The two strolled around the neighborhood.

Thanks to the efforts of the construction team, the residential area is now basically completed.

The wide main road is lined with trees and green belts, and beyond that are rows of five-story commercial buildings.

In the middle of the community, a commercial street has been built around the central garden, along with a small clinic and a school, so eating, shopping and seeing a doctor are all readily available.

Further ahead lies the upscale villa area, comprising fifty villas in total. These villas not only occupy a large area but also boast a more luxurious environment, complete with small courtyards for growing vegetables and flowers.

In addition, a beach resort area has been specially developed on the seaside side of the community, and there is also a small port that can be used to transport goods, etc.

Small but complete.

The living environment is dozens of times better than outside.

And it's safe!
The sturdy city walls are equipped with a large number of cannons, and there are countless surveillance Den Den Mushi (snail phones) inside the community. Furthermore, after the community is operational, a security patrol team will be recruited.

Goode became more and more satisfied as he looked at Marco beside him.

"Marco, do you like it here?"

"Of course I do."

Marco's eyes held a hint of envy.

He was involved in the construction and knew very well how comfortable it would be to live here, at least he wouldn't have to worry about being attacked while sleeping.

But he doesn't have the money to buy it now.

The houses here are very expensive!

Especially in the villa area, each unit is priced as high as 1 million peggs!
Goode grinned.

"I'll give you a villa!"

"Not just you."

"Each captain will get a villa!"

The team captains are all shareholders!

If you keep the team leaders tied up, are you worried they won't act as bodyguards for free?
