One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 142 The Eager-to-Learn Dorag
A few days flew by.

The weapons factory on Zebra Island has resumed operations, and a large number of workers have returned to their posts, working diligently.

When they discovered that the pirates had stopped deliberately torturing them for amusement and even thoughtfully provided them with drinking water and free lunches, the workers' enthusiasm for work soared.

The situation on Zebra Island quickly spread to other islands that had revolted, and with the appearance of the "hero" Gabble, the massive labor uprising was quickly quelled.

There was even more encouraging news for the workers.

To prevent the pirates from going back on their word and enslaving the laborers on the islands again, Captain Gabul decided to stay and keep a close watch on the pirates!
Furthermore, to celebrate the victory of the revolution, Captain Gabul announced that the islands that had launched the labor uprising would be merged into one country, named "The Country of Laborers".

A country without kings and nobles, belonging only to laborers!
In less than a week, the streets and alleys of the islands were filled with cheers for Gabr, who was regarded as the savior of the laboring nation.

Captain Gabel, the "Hero"!

"It works well."

Goode looked at the propaganda posters and was very satisfied with the current situation, which was at least ten times better than the effect of violent suppression.

"The publicity work cannot stop. We must find ways to praise labor. Put up publicity banners in every area!"

"Furthermore, we should create several special holidays and vacations for workers, which should be held about every three months. The theme should be related to the content of their work, and festival celebrations should be held."

Let's make it a bit more exciting!

"Let's have some more labor competition programs in a few days!"

"I'll think about it."

The antelope, who was taking notes, couldn't help but utter a sigh.

"Captain Goode, you're despicable!"

"Um?!"

Goode frowned.

The antelope quickly changed its tune, shamelessly flattering, "Captain Goode, what I meant was that you are incredibly intelligent!"

"extremely?"

Goode touched his smooth head and narrowed his eyes.

Are you making fun of my baldness?

"No, absolutely not!"

The antelope shook its head desperately.

Oh no, how could I forget about that!
Captain Goode was extremely bothered by his bald head.

"roll!"

"As ordered!"

The antelope took off running, and as soon as it opened the door, it saw Speed. Without even saying hello, it vanished in the blink of an eye.

Speed ​​was a little confused. When he entered the room, he saw Goode looking in the mirror and touching his bald head.

Huh?
Does Goode have this problem?
Next time I see Lady Runti, let's discuss buying Goode a bottle of hair growth serum. Lady Runti has a lot of experience in choosing cosmetics.

Although it may not necessarily work.

Actually, it's quite nice that it's hairless. It's very comfortable to hold in your arms; it's smooth and doesn't prick your skin at all.

Thinking of something, Speed's face flushed slightly, and he quickly coughed lightly to attract Goode's attention.

"Crack!"

Goode ate the mirror in one bite.

"Oh, it's Speed."

Goode greeted him with a smile, his teeth covered in blood.

Very scary.

How is the recruitment process progressing?

"We have already recruited most of them, and we will soon be able to recruit 5000 workers."

Speed ​​gave a funny report.

With Captain Gabble's guarantee, the recruitment of construction workers went smoothly, after all, the wages were twice that of the weapons factory, plus some extra benefits.

"it is good!"

Good wiped his mouth, very satisfied.

He didn't want to stay on this wretched island for even a second longer.

“Contact Umit and ask him to send ships to transport the laborers to the construction sites on the islands.”

"clear."

Speed ​​nodded, preparing to leave, his gaze unconsciously drifting to Goode's head, becoming increasingly fixed on it.

Goode was a little nervous.

"what happened?"

"Nothing."

Speed ​​shook his head, his face flushed, and climbed onto Goode's lap, holding Goode's head in his arms.

"Lord Goode!"

"Um?!"

Goode opened his mouth.

Why are you being so provocative in broad daylight?

"The door isn't closed yet."

"Click!" The door slammed shut instantly.

The Teleportation Fruit is so useful!

Night falls.

Goode sat on the balcony enjoying the breeze.

"Chikara, go make me a cup of tea!"

"Add plenty of goji berries and store it in a thermos."

"Okay, my lord."

Qika quickly brewed the tea.

"Hu~~"

Goode blew on the hot tea, then took a sip of the special goji berry tea, feeling a surge of ritual and instantly feeling refreshed.

He can fight another eighty rounds!
Chikara handed her the newspaper.

"Sir, the latest newspaper."

"Ah."

Goode took the newspaper, a sense of satisfaction creeping into his heart.

The top news is that Kaido and the Red-Haired Pirates are engaged in a fierce battle on a deserted island, and half of the island has been sunk.

Okay, that really got me some satisfaction.

Besides the clash of the Four Emperors, the establishment of the Labor Country was also reported in the newspapers, along with a photo of Captain "Hero" Gabul.

I wonder what the revolutionary army would think if they saw this.

Goode closed the newspaper, sipped his tea, and pondered.

"It's almost time."

According to Caesar's prediction, the blockade on Punk Hazard's side will soon be lifted, the labor uprising has been resolved, and it's time to set off.

We must get our hands on that fruit.

With his current strength, he is ultimately outmatched against enemies at the level of the Four Emperors. Even if he could exchange a few blows, it wouldn't be of much significance.

It's okay if we can't win, but we can't afford to lose in the short term.

Otherwise, he would lose face.

It can't always be Kaido standing up for him; that's no different from calling the parents when kids fight.

"Hu~~ huh~~"

The wind howled.

Chikara spoke softly.

"Lord Goode, the wind is picking up."

"Okay, you go in and rest first."

Good waved his hand, his gaze slightly narrowed.

Something's not right about this wind.

"Clap!"

Just as Chikara entered the room, leaving only Goode on the balcony, a man with shoe prints on his face appeared on the balcony.

Goode raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "What kind of wind is this that could blow back the Commander-in-Chief of the Revolutionary Army?"

"."

Dorag didn't get angry at Goode's teasing.

He never actually left.

Originally, he wanted to talk to Goode on the day Shanks left, but the drastic changes in the Labor Country caught him off guard.

So he secretly observed for a few more days.

The more I observed, the more alarmed I became.

In just a few days, the workers' attitudes toward life underwent a tremendous change, transforming from struggling in despair to being full of hope.

The laborers still hate and fear pirates.

But the existence of the "hero" Gabr brought peace of mind to the workers and the people, and restored their hope for the future.

There was also the construction team on Beehive Island, whose shock was beyond words when they learned that the workers were all prisoners.

All of this was orchestrated by the person in front of him, whose methods of manipulating people's minds sent chills down his spine.

"Mr. Goode."

Dragon was very sincere, bowing like a student as he asked, "I would like to ask you for some advice on the revolution!"

"Need my advice?"

Goode's eyes lit up.

"Consultations are not free. Do you have the money?"

"what?"

Dorrag opened his mouth.

Want money?
