One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 130 One Person Stands on Par with the Entire Group

Wano Country, Onigashima.

"Lord Goode is back!"

"what?!"

"Go and greet them!"

News of Goode's return spread quickly throughout Ghost Island, and even Quinn, who was dancing in the prisoner quarry, rushed back upon hearing the news.

In the months that Goode was away, every now and then, the pirates would see big news about Goode in the newspapers, and they went from being shocked to almost being numb to it.

During the six months of the expedition, none of the beasts caused as many major incidents.

The pride of the whole village, no, the whole regiment!

The port of Onigashima was packed with pirates, all eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Groudon. As soon as the Groudon came into view, the pirates cheered.

Good! Good! Good!

"Wow, how enthusiastic!"

Goode stood at the bow of the ship, reached out and put his arm around Speed's waist, and the next second, the two teleported to the port.

"Eh?!"

The pirates were terrified.

Why did Lord Goode suddenly appear at the port?
We were just on the boat!
Only the cadres noticed something was wrong.

"It's not about moving by speed!"

Is it a special ability?

"It looks more like Speed ​​used his ability."

The cadres had their own guesses, and their guesses were soon confirmed.

Runti, Page One, and a timid little girl, before the ship even docked, the three of them were teleported to the port using Speed's abilities.

Many people were genuinely envious and jealous.

Speed ​​had only recently been promoted and was considered a lower-level fighter, but now he had obtained the power of a Devil Fruit.

How could they not be jealous?

It's obvious that Speed's Devil Fruit must have come from Lord Goode; they just regret not having joined Lord Goode's crew back then.

The third floor of the castle is the grand banquet hall.

Fine wines and delicious food are already prepared.

"Uro ro ro!!!"

Kaido laughed heartily upon seeing Goode return.

"You finally decided to come back!"

"Brother Kaido."

Goode smiled broadly and picked up a wine jug that was bigger than himself.

"I brought you some fine wine!"

"Oh, thank you for your kindness."

Kaido was even more delighted and raised his right arm.

"Young men, it's time for the party!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

A welcome banquet for Lord Goode's return!
The cadres looked at Gu De with burning eyes.

He fought a fierce battle against Admiral Kizaru on Beehive Island, defeated Katakuri in the Champion Island Fighting Tournament, and was even called the "strongest rookie" by Whitebeard!
The man before me has become a legendary figure!

The main character of the banquet is Lord Goode!

"Lord Goode, we salute you!"

"it is good!"

Goode drank with everyone, and only after finishing one round of drinks did he put down his glass, chat for a while, and then clapped his hands.

The banquet hall immediately fell silent.

"Speed, bring the things in."

"Yes!"

Speed ​​whispered a command to move, and his body instantly disappeared from the room, reappearing in the center of the hall in less than three seconds.

Accompanying her was a square object, taller than her, covered with burlap, obscuring its interior.

Goode walked to the center of the hall and reached out to pull back the muslin cloth.

The neatly stacked Pele attracted everyone's attention, and gasps of astonishment rose and fell.

It's all money!

"This is 100 billion peles!"

Goode calmly said, "You should have heard about my construction of the Hoenn community on Beehive Island. This 100 billion Berries is part of what I earned this time."

"what?!"

The officials were dumbfounded.

He earned 100 billion peggs just by building a few houses?
Or just a part?

This is even more outrageous than White Dance City!

Kaido's hand trembled as he held the wine cup, turning his head to look at King beside him: "King, how much do we earn each year from selling weapons?" "60 billion Berries."

Jin took a deep breath.

Goode's earning power once again refreshed his understanding. He originally thought that the new towns and villages were the limit for Goode, but he did not expect that there was something even more amazing.

They made 100 billion in just three months!

Their arms dealing only generates a net profit of 60 billion Berries a year, less than what Goode earns alone.

Selling a house is a one-time transaction, which can be considered a special case.

But now, each of the new towns can earn at least 50 billion peles in rent for Good every year, plus the Hoenn community on Beehive Island.

In other words, Goode's income from rent alone is much higher than the entire income of the Beasts Pirates.

And this is just the beginning.

If they had known that collecting rent was so profitable, why would they have gone through all that trouble producing weapons? Wouldn't it have been better to just collect rent along with them?

That said, quite a few of the crew's officers are indeed buying up villages in Wano Country and making money off rent.

It's not a lot, but enough for one person to squander.

Goode patted the money beside him.

"This 100 billion Berries is a gift for Brother Kaido!"

"Gift?!"

The cadres stared wide-eyed.

A whole 100 billion Berries, just like that, handed over to Boss Kaido?
That's an incredibly extravagant gesture!

Kaido was also taken aback by Goode's extravagance. He stared at Goode with burning eyes for a long time before bursting into laughter.

"Ugh, you little rascal, I really don't know what to say."

100 billion Pelés.

He felt it was too hot to hold!
Goode gave him the money without batting an eye; anyone else would never have been willing to do so.

He didn't know how to repay Goode.

I wish I had two daughters!

Good crossed his arms.

A mere 100 billion pegories is nothing to him; his priority right now is developing the company.

He needs Kaido's full support.

"Brother Kaido, shall we go next door?"

"it is good!"

The group headed to the small banquet hall.

Besides Kaido, there were also the Big Six and the Flying Six, and everyone looked at Good with intense fervor.

The money was also transferred here.

Goode sat down cross-legged and looked at the crowd.

"Brother Kaido, you're aware of my real estate plans, aren't you?"

"I know, Runti has already reported it."

Kaido's expression became much more serious.

He had never imagined that there was such a way to expand his power. Goode's ingenious idea made him slap his thigh in amazement.

Forsford and his companions were completely baffled.

"Boss Kaido, what's the plan?"

"Let Goode explain this; I only have a vague understanding of it myself."

Kaido shook his head and looked at Good.

Goode nodded and looked at the crowd.

"Not long ago, I established Groudon Real Estate and built the first pilot community on the Isle of Beehives."

"The results were very successful."

"I have now reached an agreement with several underground emperors, including the 'Loan Shark King' Dufeld and the 'Shipping King' Umit, to establish communities on their territories."

"My Groudon Company will continue to expand into the New World until the Hoenn community is spread across every island of the New World."

Goode explained his plan.

"On the surface, we are building a community, but in reality, it is a stronghold for all beasts, and we will be deploying a large number of troops and weapons!"

The expressions on everyone's faces gradually changed, from initial confusion to cold sweat pouring down their backs. If it could really be done as Goode described, the sphere of influence of the beasts would be the entire new world!

"Two years, at most two years!"

Goode held up two fingers.

"The number of pirates is increasing daily, and new talents with great momentum have emerged in various seas, such as Trafalgar Law and Hawkins in the North Blue, Kid and Killer in the South Blue, and Capone Bege in the West Blue."

"In less than two years, these newcomers will inevitably flood into the Grand Line and stir up an unimaginable storm."

"These newcomers may not pose a significant threat to our Beasts, but quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes. They will definitely alter the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or landscape), and may even spark a competition for the Pirate King's throne!"

"Therefore, we must conquer the New World within two years!"
