One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 157 Goode's Expectations!
Having witnessed Goode's power, Loki didn't hesitate to admit defeat: "Sorry, I was just joking!"

"."

Goode spoke calmly.

"Chikara".

"exist."

Chikara trotted over and busied herself with some incomprehensible actions, until an exquisite tea table appeared amidst the snow and ice, complete with black tea and snacks.

Goode sat down and, amidst the snow and ice, slowly savored his black tea, as if he were on vacation.

Loki was stunned.

These damn humans are quite particular.

One minute, ten minutes.
Loki couldn't help but shout.

"Hey, how long are you going to drink?"

"Would you like some tea too?"

Goode glanced at Loki.

"I don't want tea, I'd rather drink alcohol!"

Loki had an idea.

"You're a pirate, right? You must have an enemy you want to kill, right? If you can remove my shackles, I'll help you kill him, how about it?"

"That's not bad."

Goode put down his teacup, a smile playing on his lips.

"There is someone I do want to kill."

"who is it?"

Loki was overjoyed and quickly pressed for more information.

Once the shackles are removed, he'll first take down this damned human in front of him.

Goode stood up and faced Loki.

"Red-haired Shanks!"

"what?!"

Loki was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage. He had been captured by Shanks, and sending him to kill Shanks would be like walking into a trap!
Are you here to laugh at me?!

"I don't have that spare time."

Goode's gaze turned cold: "Loki, I've heard about you. Red-Haired Shanks is your enemy, so it's only natural that you seek revenge!"

"Of course!"

Loki gritted his teeth.

The person he hates the most right now is Shanks, one of the Four Emperors. If he can escape, the first thing he will do is to seek revenge on Shanks!

"That's fine."

Goode stretched out his hand, and the rocks at his feet rose rapidly, forming an enormous stone axe in his hand.

His greatsword was broken by the red-haired man, and a new weapon is still being forged, so he can only use rocks as a temporary substitute.

"Qiang!"

The giant axe was imbued with an aura of dominance.

Loki sensed something was wrong.

"Hey, what do you want to do?"

"I will unlock your chains."

Goode raised his giant axe with both hands, aiming it at Loki's ankles: "Seastone is indestructible. The simplest way to unlock your chains is to cut off your limbs. Don't worry, it will be over soon."

"Damn it, stop it!"

Loki was genuinely terrified this time, a nameless fear rising in his heart. The man before him was even more ferocious than he was.

If his limbs are cut off, how will he take revenge in the future!
"I have the key! I have the key!"

"key?"

Goode stopped, his brow furrowed.

"where?"

"It's in the Yang Realm above!"

Loki, sweating profusely, explained, "The mortal realm is the true Elbaf, but it's currently occupied by cowardly giants, and they've hidden the key!"

"Do giants live up there?"

Goode looked up at the sky.

The World Tree's incredibly dense branches obscured the sky, and there was also a lot of cloud and mist, making it impossible to see anything clearly, and even perception was blocked.

His memories from his previous life were limited to the island of Elbaf, and he was unaware of the situation in Elbaf, nor did he know that the giants lived in the trees.

No wonder I didn't see many giants.

The World Tree, the Realm of the Living, the Realm of the Dead.
Isn't this Norse mythology?

Looking at the seemingly endless expanse of the Yang Realm, Goode's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

Damn it, how do we get up there?!
He can't fly!

Are we supposed to climb up the tree trunk?
Goode turned his gaze away and looked at Loki.

"How do we get up there?"

"You saw the rainbow when you came, didn't you?" Loki felt confident again, grinning. "You can reach the world of the living by taking a boat across the Rainbow Bridge!"

"it is good."

Goode nodded and turned to leave.

"let's go."

"Yes."

Leaving now?

Loki stared blankly at Goode as he left.

What exactly is this guy doing here?
Could it be to save him?

Or is it to use his power to deal with Shanks!

Loki licked the corner of his mouth.

If that's the case, then it seems we can become "friends"!

Half a day later, at the tavern.

A huge snow leopard stopped outside the tavern.

"The Mountain Lord?!"

Upon seeing the snow leopard, Gertz's eyes bulged out in fright, and her once beautiful face was now almost unbearable to look at.

With such a huge size, it must be the mountain lord of the underworld. Why would such a monster appear on the coast?

"Garuru garuru!"

The snow leopard bared its fangs and let out a menacing growl.

"Oh!"

With a muffled thud, the snow leopard lay down on the ground looking dejected, its two front paws covering its head as it whimpered.

It hurts!

"Idiot, don't scare them!"

Good appeared on top of the snow leopard and waved to Gertz below.

"Goltz, we're back!"

"Mr. Goode?!"

Gertz gasped softly, staring wide-eyed at Goode, then at the snow leopard, and immediately understood what had happened.

"You went to the underworld?!"

"I went for a walk."

Goode and his companions came down.

Gertz looked left and right, then asked cautiously, "What about the siblings who were with you? Weren't they eaten?"

"They won't die that easily."

Goode smiled and shook his head, glancing back at the underworld.

I think I'll survive!
With Runti and her brother's current strength, as long as they don't provoke the mountain lord, survival is not a problem. The two siblings are proud and arrogant, lack setbacks, and desperately need to be tempered by life and death.

In less than two years, the Worst Generation set sail.

Even Urouge, with the lowest bounty, was able to defeat Snag, the weakest of the Sweet Commanders. If they weren't ruthless, the siblings might have been eliminated by the times.

Goode looked at the giant girl.

“Goltz, I want to go to the mortal realm.”

"Go to the mortal realm?"

Gertz was somewhat perplexed.

Haildin kept a close eye on him, making sure to keep an eye on Goode and his group, especially preventing Goode from entering the Yang Realm.

What are you going to the mortal realm for?

"Haha, of course I want to see the warriors of Elbaf!"

Goode's eyes were full of anticipation.

He wasn't lying. The warriors of Elbaf are renowned throughout the world, and their reverence and respect for battle inspire warriors all over the globe.

In the Little Garden of the Grand Line, the two captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, Dorry and Brogy, fought for honor for 100 years—what an awe-inspiring duel!

He also wanted to see it for himself.

There must be an enormous arena for life and death!

Rivers of blood!
He wants to see rivers of blood!
Goode looked at Gertz and gave him a hearty smile: "Can you take me with you? Gertz, we're friends, right?"

"friend!"

Gertz's eyes sparkled.

She loves making friends with humans!
"Okay, I'll take you there!"

Soon, Gertz rowed the fog boat.

When the fog ship reached the Rainbow Bridge, everyone on board excitedly raised their arms and shouted, even ordinary warriors like Antelope.

All beasts revere power above all else!
"Elbaf!"

"Elbaf!!"

"Elbaf!!!"
