One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 149 Good vs. Aokiji
Punk Hazard, the coast.

Aokiji lowered his hands.

Seeing this, Yamato asked in confusion.

"Uncle, aren't you going to fight anymore?"

"Ah."

Aokiji nodded slowly, a hint of indescribable confusion flashing deep in his eyes—a past he had always been unwilling to confront.

He would not have been willing to issue the Demon Buster Order if there was even the slightest possibility of it.

But now that things have come to this, there is no other way.

Now all he needs to do is prevent the other party from leaving Punk Hazard and then wait for the Buster Call to arrive.

Estimated time: 30 minutes!

"Little girl."

Aokiji closed his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then opened them again.

"Next, you will face hell."

"Eh?"

A question mark appeared on Yamato's forehead. She didn't understand what the other person meant, but she knew that the other person really didn't want to fight anymore.

She hasn't had enough yet!

Just then, Yamato suddenly shuddered, then looked happily towards the island, sensing Goode's presence.

Goode is back!
Aokiji also looked towards the island, his expression instantly changing, even more serious than when he was facing Yamato.

The heat is intense!
Good emerged from the poisonous fog and stood before Aokiji, his eyes fixed on the golden Den Den Mushi in the other's hand.

"What an honor! The Navy has actually issued a Buster Call against us."

"Demon-slaying order?"

Yamato tilted his head in confusion.

What is the Buster Call?
"What?! The Buster Call?!"

When Caesar, who was following behind Goode, heard the words "Buster Order," he was so terrified that his body turned into the shape of noodles.

"Hey, you're kidding, right!"

"I don't want to die!"

"Lord Goode, let's run away!"

Caesar was clutching Goode's trouser leg, so terrified he could barely maintain his human form, clearly gripped by extreme fear.

The Buster Call is the World Government's highest-level military operation, which involves indiscriminate and devastating attacks on the region that sends the signal.

Even if he were a Logia-type, he would be blasted to smithereens by the endless barrage of artillery fire; the fire caused by the shelling alone would be enough to burn him to death.

That's hell!
Goode's gaze was calm as still water as he commanded in an unquestionable manner, "Yamato, take this idiot to the ship and wait for me."

"Oh!"

Yamato scratched his head, then dragged Caesar toward the island. Although he didn't know what the Buster Call was, he figured he could just leave it to Goode.

Aokiji's gaze darkened, and he wanted to stop the two who were trying to escape, but the immense pressure from Goode made him dare not take any action.

Even a momentary lapse in concentration can lead to defeat!

"Whoosh!"

Goode ripped off his coat, revealing his muscular physique.

Aokiji stared intently at Goode.

According to the intelligence, Disaster was an extremely burly giant, a pure strength-type warrior. He had seen him once before, and his appearance was very different from the person in front of him.

If there's anything they have in common, it's probably that they're both bald.

"What's your purpose here?"

"Want to know?"

Goode grinned, and his muscles gradually contracted.

"I'll tell you if I win."

"Oh my, that's pretty impressive—"

Aokiji frowned and spoke, his eyes suddenly widening. The man who was just tens of meters away was now right in front of him, his demonic face gradually magnifying in his pupils!

There was no time to dodge!
"Bang!!!"

Aokiji's cheeks were deeply sunken as an unimaginable, terrifying force struck, sending his body flying uncontrollably backward!

"Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom!!!" Huge plumes of smoke and dust spread for hundreds of meters!

"Eh?!!!"

"General Aokiji has been sent flying!"

The marines watching the battle had their eyes and tongues bulging out.

In the smoke and dust of the explosion.

"cough!"

Aokiji covered his face and struggled to his feet from the rubble, spitting out a mouthful of blood onto the ground, his pupils trembling.

"Wow, that's ridiculously strong!"

He didn't underestimate his opponent at all!
The feeling just now was like facing Borsalino, but unlike Borsalino, Borsalino relied on pure physical strength.

Such terrifying explosive power is even stronger than that of the girl from before.

That's not how it was reported in the intelligence!
According to intelligence gathered by the Navy, Goode is definitely not that strong, but what exactly is going on?

Not only has the other party's appearance changed, but they have also gained terrifying power. Could this be Goode's purpose in coming to Punk Hazard?
Without time to think, Goode had already appeared in the sky directly above him, nearly twice the size of before, exactly as described in the intelligence.

Life is returned!

Aokiji finally understood why Goode's appearance had changed, and given his current state, his next attack would surely be extremely powerful!

Goode's muscles bulged, his fists emitted black and red lightning, and at the same time, orange-red high-temperature light emanated from his fists from the inside out, and flames ignited with a "bang".

Aokiji's expression changed drastically, and he immediately stretched out his arm toward the sky, where a giant bird formed from frozen ice quickly took shape.

An ice bird spreads its wings and soars into the sky!

"ice·violent pheasant beak!"

"Explosive Flame - Megaton Heavy Punch!"

Goode's eyes widened in fury as he roared and unleashed a massive pillar of fire shockwave downwards, instantly shattering and melting the ice bird, its momentum continuing to blast the earth!
"boom!!!"

The island trembled violently, all the ice shattered, and a massive pillar of fire pierced through the clouds, reaching the sky!
The next moment, a visible heat wave rolled outwards.

"Wow ah ah!"

“So hot, so hot!!”

"The sails are on!"

The sailors screamed from the heatwave, and the sails of the warships caught fire. As the heatwave gradually dissipated, the scene before them made them involuntarily take a deep breath of hot air, their lungs steaming from the heat.

The ice on the sea surface has completely disappeared, replaced by boiling, bubbling seawater, with countless fish and shrimp floating belly up to the surface.

"What terrifying power this is!"

Even the officers felt fear.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have definitely thought that the person fighting was Admiral Akainu, and that only Admiral Akainu's magma power could cause the catastrophic scene before them.

The Disaster Good is even more terrifying than Kaido's daughter!
"How is Admiral Aokiji?!"

The officers rushed to the bow of the ship, searching for Admiral Aokiji. After being hit by such a terrifying attack, it was impossible for him to be unharmed!

The battlefield was shrouded in mist formed by melting ice. As the wind howled, the thick fog gradually dissipated, revealing the two combatants.

Aokiji was dressed in tattered clothes, with obvious burn marks on his body, and his breathing was also disordered, clearly indicating that he had been seriously injured in the attack just now.

Goode stood opposite Aokiji, his entire body radiating intense heat, the surrounding air distorting, like a moving mini-sun.

The ice crystals spread rapidly once again!
"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"

However, before the ice crystals could even touch Goode's body, they began to melt and evaporate, leaving no trace.

Behind Goode, the ground was dry and cracked, radiating scorching heat.

Behind Aokiji, a blizzard raged, and ice covered the earth.

The two seem to live in two different worlds!
"As expected, it cannot be frozen."

Aokiji's heart sank completely.

The battle with Kaido's daughter had left him with serious injuries, and now, facing the even stronger Earth Disaster Good, he felt immense pressure.

The only consolation is that his ice is effective, just like when facing Akainu, where their abilities counter each other.

Aokiji took a half step back, opened his hands, and ice balls condensed in his palms, causing the surrounding cold air to surge again.

The Buster Call is approaching.

20 minutes left!
