One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 155 We're Not Afraid!
Elbaf, a port city.

The Groudon slowly docked.

"We can only take you this far."

Haildin didn't want to spend a single moment with Goode, and without even getting off the boat, he shouted to his companions.

“Goltz, you entertain them.”

"give it to me."

Goltz laughed and jumped onto the shore, waving at the Groudon.

Goode and his group also disembarked one after another.

Runti grumbled, "You all saw it just now, didn't you? That big guy clearly doesn't look that strong, but he was so arrogant!"

Don't underestimate him.

Goode smiled and shook his head.

Haildin may not be strong, but he is at least a potential star and may have some great performances in the future.

Gertz led the way.

"Come here!"

"Ok."

There are only a few wooden houses along the coast, each one is ridiculously large, with even the doors being over twenty meters high.

The Giants' Tavern.

At this moment, a number of humans had gathered outside the tavern, and upon seeing Goode and his group, they all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Halt, beasts!"

"If you want to cause trouble for the big boss, you'll have to get past us first!"

"Don't underestimate us!"

"You won't succeed!"

The group stopped in their tracks.

"Are these idiots trying to stop us?!"

Runti put her hands on her hips and glared at her fiercely.

One of the little girls, who appeared to be the captain, was so frightened that she burst into tears.

"She, she's so scary (*)!"

"Be brave, Princess!"

His subordinates quickly comforted him.

Goode and his group were speechless.

Where did this group of old, weak, sick and disabled people come from? Although I've heard that the Red-Haired Pirates are known for their weak members, this group is probably not even as good as cannon fodder.

Miscellaneous fish! Miscellaneous fish!
"Ignore them."

Goode shook his head and led the group into the tavern.

Although they were shouting loudly, none of them dared to stop them; in fact, they were trembling with fear at the ferocious aura of the beasts.

Only after everyone had entered the tavern did the red-haired man's subordinate dare to speak.

Are we really that useless?

"That's right, you idiot!"

"But they seem so strong!"

"The President is not here again!"

"Yes, we did our best."

As minor characters, they are very self-aware when the Red-Haired Commander is not around. They just shout a few times to scare the intruders, and if that doesn't work, then there's nothing else they can do.

The red-haired commander wouldn't want to see them die either.

Inside the tavern.

The layout is the same as a typical tavern, but everything is extra-large, even the bottles are taller than a person.

"Please make yourselves at home."

Goode gave an order, then jumped onto the bar, sat cross-legged, and looked at Gertz, who was secretly watching him.

"Goltz, could you show me around here?"

"sure!"

Gertz happily held his hands together.

"This is the lowest level of Elbaf. You can move around here, but try not to go deeper, especially not into the snow mountain area."

"why?"

Goode narrowed his eyes slightly.

Gertz patiently explained, "That place is called the underworld, inhabited by countless ferocious and powerful beasts. It is a prison and execution ground for sinners, and even we dare not enter it casually."

"I see."

Goode's eyes lit up. He had thought it would take some time, but he got the information he wanted as soon as he arrived!
Wild beasts, prisons, execution grounds!

The giant girl is also his wing!
Goode picked up the oversized wine bowl, drank the wine in one gulp, and then jumped off the table to call his men.

"Runti, Xiaopei, Speed, and Chikara, all of you come with me!"

"Yes!" The four followed Goode.

Upon seeing this, Yamato quickly pointed to himself.

"What about me? What about me?"

"You play by yourself."

Good waved his hand and led everyone away from the tavern, heading towards the snow mountain without any hesitation.

The air grew colder and colder, and snow began to fall heavily from the sky.

Runti rubbed her hands together, exhaling puffs of mist from her mouth.

"Gu-chan, where are we going?"

"Go warm up!"

Goode pointed to the snow-capped mountains directly in front of him.

"Did you see that?"

"Ok!"

Runti nodded vigorously.

Goode grinned from ear to ear; as he drew closer, he could already sense the presence of some ferocious beasts.

"For the next year, you and Xiao Pei will both stay in the snow-capped mountains to cultivate!"

"Eh?!"

Runti's eyes widened.

Practicing in such a dilapidated place?

Goode gave a dismissive smile.

"What, are you scared?"

"Huh?! I'm not scared at all!"

"Hmph, a mere snow mountain!"

Runti and Page both snorted coldly.

They're dinosaurs!

Dinosaur!

It is the apex predator in the wilderness!
Snow-capped mountains, bitter cold!
Not afraid at all!
"Boom!"

Suddenly, the ground shook!
"what happened?"

The siblings swallowed simultaneously.

The next moment, a snow hare bigger than a house leaped out of the forest, its scarlet eyes fixed on the two of them.

"A bunny???"

The siblings stared blankly.

Such a huge monster is actually a rabbit?

Before the two could react, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, the rabbit let out a series of pitiful squeals.

When the storm subsided, a giant wolf, tens of meters tall and comparable to a small mountain, appeared before them, with the rabbit it had just caught in its mouth.

"Gulu!"

The giant wolf swallowed the rabbit whole.

"Hey!!!"

Good pulled Speed ​​and Chikara aside, then waved and shouted at the giant wolf to attract its attention, before pointing to the siblings beside him.

The giant wolf turned its gaze toward the two of them.

The next moment, the earth trembled.

"Aaaaaah, help!!!"

The siblings transformed into dinosaurs and ran for their lives, feeling the giant wolf approaching from behind, tears streaming down their faces in fear.

Even after they transform, they're still smaller than a rabbit!
Hearing the siblings' screams, Speed ​​shrank back, his face filled with horror: "Good, will Runti and Lord Pagevan be alright?"

"You should take care of yourself when you have time."

Goode glanced at Speed: "If we encounter any wild beasts, I won't act rashly; I'll leave it to you to handle."

"Eh???"

Speed ​​and Chicara were dumbfounded.

Why do they have to be trained too?

"Let's hurry, our destination is deep in the snow mountain, I can already sense the other side's presence."

Goode took a step forward.

In his perception, there was an incomparably powerful aura deep within the island, stronger than any ferocious beast.

If I'm not mistaken, the other party is the target he's looking for.

Loki, the Cursed Prince!
Just two years ago, Loki, who was causing havoc in the New World, was defeated by Shanks and taken back to Elbaf.

His bounty is a whopping 26 billion Berries!
If he releases Loki, the cursed prince will definitely seek revenge on Shanks, and may even disrupt the balance between the Four Emperors!

What he wants to do is rebuild civilization on the land destroyed by Loki!
