One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 144 Key Surveillance Target!

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

"Kuzan, serve tea!"

"Vice Admiral Garp, I'm very busy. I'm an Admiral, after all. Why do you have someone else do things like pouring tea?"

"Shut up, you brat."

"Go get some more rice crackers, they're in that drawer over there."

"ヽ(#`Д)ノ!!"

Although he was very angry, Aokiji still sighed and poured tea and found snacks for Garp, since the other party was his master.

Besides Garp and Aokiji, Akainu and Kizaru were also in the room, both with their left legs crossed over their right, silently watching Aokiji work.

We're both generals, truly.
The persecuting gazes from his colleagues made Aokiji, who served tea and water, feel immense pressure.

Damn it, he's got a lot of pride too!

"Pfft hahaha."

With tea and snacks served, Garp looked at Sengoku in a cheerful mood: "Sengoku, what brings you here?"

"I didn't come looking for you!"

Zhan Guo held his head, feeling a headache coming on.

That bastard showed up uninvited and even stole the rice crackers he had hidden!

Garp chuckled and waved his hand, "Don't be so formal. I saw the news, it's about Kaido and Shanks, right?"

"That's it."

When it came to serious matters, Sengoku didn't bother to argue about Garp's uninvited arrival and instead looked at the three generals and several officers with a serious expression.

The Navy was well aware of the clash between Kaido and the Red-Haired Pirates, and even lost a surveillance warship as a result.

But the battle itself wasn't the main point; he was more concerned with the cause.

"I called you here today to discuss a certain pirate."

The Warring States period took a look around.

"Disaster - Good!"

"."

The room fell silent.

Akainu raised his head slightly.

In the past six months, he had heard the name Goode many times, and newspapers frequently published news related to him, which even piqued his interest.

All evil must be eradicated!

Aokiji returned to his seat, looking completely uninterested, and even dozed off with his hand propping up his cheek.

I'm so sleepy.JPG

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Kizaru, though wanting to slack off, realized that he was the only one who had directly fought Goode, and it wouldn't be right for him not to express his opinion.

"The newcomers these days are really scary. That 'Disaster Goode' guy, to be honest, even I can't do anything about him."

"Even Admiral Kizaru."

The officers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although I've heard about the Beehive Island incident, even the Admiral couldn't win. Is that Goode too strong?

"Cough cough!"

Sengoku coughed and glanced at Kizaru with displeasure. There were still many young officers in the office; what if they got scared?

"The power of geological disasters is strong, that's for sure, but they are not invincible. We need to pay more attention to the next steps taken in dealing with geological disasters."

"In the last six months, almost every major event in the New World has involved a geological disaster. First, it was Whitebeard and Big Mom, and now even Shanks and the Revolutionary Army have come into contact with it!"

"Furthermore, the emperors of the underworld have also established close ties with the disaster. Their specific motives are still unclear, but there must be an evil conspiracy hidden within them!"

The Warring States period revealed a worried expression.

Since Goode debuted, he hasn't had a good night's sleep. That kid is just too much trouble, and it's always something big.

Every time the Four Emperors come into contact, the Marine Headquarters has to enter a state of emergency combat readiness, but that kid keeps provoking the Four Emperors every few days.

The Navy Headquarters is on the verge of collapse!
If things continue like this, who knows what the next geological disaster operation might do?

Key targets for supervision!

"Next, we must closely monitor all of Geological Disaster Good's actions!"

"Lieutenant General Dor, your G-14 branch is closest to the Beasts' territory, so the surveillance mission is assigned to you."

"Intelligence departments, shift the focus of your work in the New World to the Disaster, and constantly monitor all communications between the Disaster and the outside world!"

"G-1 Branch"

He handed over the tasks one by one. After the officers left, only the three generals and Garp, who was drinking tea, remained in the room. Only then did Sengoku show a hint of fatigue.

"Kuzan."

no respond.

Aokiji lay on his side on the chair, drool dripping from his mouth.

Zhan Guo's face darkened, and he slammed his fist on the table.

"Kuzan!!!"

"To!"

Aokiji jolted and quickly sat up straight.

Sanguo, weary, said, "Put aside your work for now and prepare for the expedition. If the Earth Disaster Gude takes any action, you will be in charge of stopping it. You don't need to ask me for permission or report if necessary."

"Oh dear, why me?"

Aokiji scratched his head in annoyance.

He had no intention of dealing with such a formidable newcomer.

Zhan Guo's face darkened.

The three admirals were a mixed bag: one was always slacking off, one was lazy and irresponsible, and the other was too radical in his actions.

I've led the worst class ever!
"According to known intelligence, the cataclysmic creature used the power of fire after its transformation, and it is not afraid of magma and can also absorb natural forces."

"Your ability is ice, which is the exact opposite of the Earth Disaster's attribute. It can counter the Earth Disaster, so you are the most suitable person to defeat it!"

"If necessary, we can summon the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"Garp, put my senbei down!"

End of the meeting.

On the other side, in a country of laborers.

Groudon sets sail.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Goode hung up the phone.

News came from Caesar's side that, for some unknown reason, the navy that was blockading Punk Hazard was withdrawing.

You can go pick up the goods now.

"I wonder if the Pink Dragon Fruit can help my Groudon evolve into its ultimate form."

Goode's eyes were full of anticipation.

Although it is a copy of the Azure Dragon Fruit, it is indeed a genuine Devil Fruit, containing the power to destroy everything.

Even if an ordinary warrior eats it, he can transform into a pink dragon, easily causing a terrifying disaster no less than that of a Logia-type monster.

The strongest tier of Devil Fruits.

Goode considered feeding it to his subordinates to add another powerful general, but there was no one suitable around him. To unleash the full potential of the Pink Dragon Fruit, a strong physique was essential.

Just like Kaido.

After much thought, feeding it to Xiao Gu is still the safest option.

Wow~ Wow~~

Groudon sensed Goode's thoughts and barked impatiently, as it hadn't eaten anything good in a long time.

"Don't worry, it will take a few more days."

Groudon sped towards Dressrosa because it didn't have the Log Pose from Punk Hazard and needed to pick up Caesar, so it had to go to Dressrosa first.

Goode's movements were immediately detected by the G-14 branch's informants.

The news was quickly relayed back to Naval Headquarters.

"What a restless man."

Aokiji hung up the Den Den Mushi, and his head started to ache.

Just two days after receiving the mission, Goode launched the operation. Based on the flight path, the destination was Dressrosa.

It's very close to headquarters.

"Oh dear, let's go for a walk."

After thinking it over, Aokiji decided to stake out the location in advance.

Although a fight may not necessarily break out, it's always better to be prepared in advance, just in case.

As Aokiji stepped out of the room, a question suddenly occurred to him.

Where's my bicycle?
