One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 152 Sincerity is a must-kill skill
The next day, morning.

"Get the hell out of here!"

Goode was still asleep when Stussy kicked him off the bed, leaving him completely dazed.

Last night I called him "sweetie," and this morning I told him to get out of bed?
How can you change your attitude so suddenly?

Goode scratched his head, went to the bathroom to wash up, and looked at his burly self in the mirror, and suddenly realized.

"Is it because of my muscles?"

If there's any change, it's that he's now a giant; Speed ​​seemed to prefer him to be thinner before.

"Oh!"

Extend your chest muscles!

Lateral dorsi abduction!
Spreading out both biceps!
Finally, let's finish with the ultimate crab-style finishing move!
Man!!

Goode clashed his fists together, and two streams of steam shot out from his nostrils!

Wow, he's getting more and more handsome!

When he first arrived, he didn't like the exaggerated muscles, but over time, he became more and more satisfied with them.

To be a pirate, you have to be imposing and domineering.

After admiring himself for a while, Goode returned to his room and silently tightened his muscles as he looked at the woman with a sour face.

Stussy!
Expanding muscles.

Stussy (_).

Pah! What a shallow woman!
A moment later, on the balcony.

As Goode ate his breakfast, he flipped through the company's latest financial reports and development plans, and couldn't help but admire Stuart's abilities.

In addition to the development projects on Beehive Island and with the Underground Emperors, Stussy has begun acquiring land in various parts of the world under the company's name.

Especially islands belonging to member states and world governments.

Through the powerful intelligence network established by Girls' Ship, Stussy gained a thorough understanding of the New World, greatly improving the company's efficiency.

The only limitation is insufficient funding.

Each investment project requires at least 10 billion yuan, while the company's current working capital is less than 50 billion yuan.

We need to make money!

When I return to Wano Country next time, I'll have to pry open Kaido's little treasure vault. What's the use of keeping all that silver stored away?

Goode closed the report and asked, "Stusi, are the World Government and member states obstructing our company in any way?"

"It is indeed a bit troublesome."

Stussy nodded slightly.

The company is still in its early stages, and the Celestial Dragons won't pay attention to such trivial matters. As for the World Government's top officials and local officials, they can simply be bribed with money.

The company had all the necessary paperwork, and she and Guernica had given instructions behind the scenes, so the officials wouldn't make things too difficult for her.

The situation is more complicated in the member states. Many countries are developing slowly, and their princes and nobles value their territories highly, unwilling to let outsiders interfere.

Goode nodded.

Ultimately, it all boils down to insufficient benefits.

Goode pondered for a moment, and soon came up with a wicked idea: "How about this, you send people to contact those member states privately. If they are willing to cooperate with our company, they can get a 20% discount when they buy weapons from Joker!"

"This"

Stussy's small mouth opened slightly.

What a wicked plan!

Not every country can manufacture weapons in large quantities. In order to pay their dues and maintain their own prosperity, member states often choose to invade other countries and plunder their resources.

But waging war requires weapons.

Joker is now a sought-after middleman in the underworld because he has Kaido backing him and possesses a large arsenal of weapons.

In order to obtain more weapons, countries will certainly make concessions, and with weapons, the scale of war will escalate, causing land to be abandoned, which will allow companies to take the opportunity to seize large amounts of land.

The company's plan includes not only real estate development, but also land, especially arable land and mineral resources that can be developed.

They not only sold weapons for all beasts, but also reduced the company's capital investment, and managed to get various countries to willingly cede territory.

Three birds with one stone.

Is this man really a genius?

Stussy spoke hesitantly.

"But what about Beasts and Joker?"

"I'll make the decision!"

Goode smirked. As the captain (acting captain) and Kaido's good son-in-law, what was this little thing? Besides, the Beasts wouldn't lose anything.

There's also Xiaoming.

Sigh, it's just a pity for Xiaoming.

"alright."

Stussy nodded, but hesitated to speak.

Goode smiled slightly.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, just some doubts."

Stussy frowned slightly, picked up the report, and asked in confusion, "Good, you're a pirate, why are you doing this?"

"make money."

"Just for making money?"

"Of course, it's not just that."

Goode smiled as he sized up the woman.

He couldn't tell if Stussy was trying to find out about him or if it was just a casual question, but it didn't matter.

He can be ruthless when facing enemies, but when facing his own people, he still hopes that everyone can be more sincere.

After all, backstabbing and infighting are really unpleasant.

To gain sincerity, learning each other's secrets is a very effective way, especially when you can't afford to have a falling out.

Goode smiled broadly: "I just felt that being a pirate had no future, so I had to give it a try and see if I could find another way to break the deadlock."

"That's a really rare idea."

Stussy couldn't help but ask.

What do you mean by "breaking the deadlock"?

"Hey, Stusi."

Good narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully, "If one day the World Government, the Navy, pirates, and all other forces had to get involved, what would you choose? And which side would you stand on?"

"."

Stussy was deep in thought.

The day Goode mentioned was likely the day of the battle for the Pirate King's throne, but even if a new Pirate King were to emerge, he would not be able to pose a threat to the World Government.

Roger and Rocks confirmed this.

She's a secret agent; she can't change careers.

Good crossed his legs and said with a grin, "I bet you'll choose to side with Vegapunk, right?"

"Eh?!"

Stussy stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

Did Goode know her secret?

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm."

Good waved his hand with a smile: "I just heard some bad rumors. It seems that Vegapunk is researching the Void Century. If the World Government finds out, you should know what the consequences will be."

"I just wanted to tell you."

"If that day ever comes, I can save him!"

"It's getting late. I have to go."

Goode got up and left, waving goodbye.

Stussy sat in the chair, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

Good just said that Vegapunk is studying the "Void Century"?
As a CP0 agent, she knew better than anyone what that meant; even a genius scientist like Vegapunk would not be tolerated by the Celestial Dragons.

That's the biggest taboo in the world!

No!

She has to go to Egerhead!
If what Goode said is true, she must prepare for the day when the truth is revealed. In this world, Goode might really be the only person who can save Vegapunk!

Happy Street, the port.

The Groudon has been resupplyed, and the girls who spent the day on the island have all returned, ready to set sail at any time.

"Sail!"
