One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 16 Hot Spring Bathing
Flower City, southern suburbs.

"Heavenly Abode" Hot Spring SPA Club.

Thanks to the efforts of Master Gangyou and the financial support of Boss Kuangshilang, the main structure of the clubhouse has been completed after more than half a month of construction, and even the interior decoration is almost finished.

Goode was not surprised by this at all.

Given enough money, these master carpenters could even build an entire Oden Castle in a month.

Compared to that, the hot spring resort is a small project.

Reception hall.

Cat worms, white dogs, cardinals, tea rats.

The four members of Runti's fan club stood tall and proud, like soldiers awaiting inspection.

loyalty!

"Brother Goode!"

"Ok!"

Goode nodded with a smile.

He definitely couldn't handle it all by himself, but luckily he had a group of assistants. Most of the invitations were delivered by the four of them, along with some other odd jobs.

"Have the masters arrived?"

"They've arrived; they're in the next room!"

The four men simultaneously grinned maliciously, clearly indicating that the process of inviting them was not entirely legitimate.

Goode didn't care.

If there's an easier way, why not use it?

As pirates, we must not forget our roots.

"Send them to the banquet hall!"

"Yes."

Goode turned and left, heading to the banquet hall.

As soon as he pushed open the door, the scent of perfume wafted over him, and the next moment, he was surrounded by beautiful women.

Wow, what well-developed muscles!

The women couldn't help but stare at Goode's muscular physique, and many of the bolder ones pressed themselves against him, groping him all over.

"Stop, don't touch my breasts!"

"Even my legs won't work!"

"Who's unbuckling my belt?!"

"This is a legitimate club, so you all better behave yourselves!"

Gud, drenched in sweat, pushed the prostitute away.

These women are too fierce.

All I can say is, they are truly professionals!

The women were still enjoying themselves, but they were much more well-behaved at the moment.

Are you our new boss?

"Yes."

Goode kept a straight face.

"Who among you is representing us?"

"Little girl, Cai Die."

A woman with a hot figure stepped forward and secretly tugged at her kimono, revealing a deep cleavage and a butterfly tattoo on her chest.

The woman's eyes were alluring, and she spoke in a high-pitched, coquettish voice, "Boss, when do we start serving customers?"

"This is not a pleasure quarter!"

Goode emphasized it again with a dark expression.

There's a street full of brothels that's bigger and cheaper; which man would specifically go there to find prostitutes?

To make money, you need to have your own unique selling point.

"Remember this: I don't care what you do in private, but you can't do anything reckless here. This is a legitimate club, a legitimate one!"

"."

For a moment, the prostitutes were all stunned.

No need to entertain guests?

Cai Die lit her pipe, her mocking gaze as sharp as that of a gangster.

"Boss, all the girls know is that little bit of bedroom skill. If you don't let us take customers, how are we supposed to make a living?"

"Don't worry."

Goode pointed behind him.

The bruised and battered masseuses, each a renowned massage therapist or doctor in Huadu, arrived at the banquet hall with trepidation.

When they saw the room full of prostitutes, they were speechless with astonishment.

"Is this paradise?"

Damn pirates, why didn't you say so sooner!

If they had known it would turn out like this, they wouldn't have needed their wages!
Damn it, I got beaten up for nothing!

Goode turned to the courtesans and said in a deep voice, "From today onwards, you will learn professional skills from these masters, understand?"

"clear."

The prostitutes' responses were rather perfunctory.

Goode's face turned dark.

Fine, you forced me to this!
Goode took a deep breath and said fiercely, "I will conduct an exam before the opening. Those who pass will be rewarded with 10 gold coins, and the top 30 will each be rewarded with 100 gold coins!"

"100 gold coins!" the courtesans exclaimed in surprise.

100 gold is enough to build a big house!

Unless you're the top courtesan in the shop, it's difficult for an ordinary prostitute to save up 100 gold coins a year after deducting daily expenses.

Moreover, there are thirty slots, which means that one-third of the sisters can receive this huge sum of money, and even if they fall behind, they will still receive a 10-gold reward.

"Boss, the girls will definitely pass the test!"

"Don't worry, boss!"

"I'll take it for 100 gold!"

My emotions surged instantly.

Goode nodded slightly.

Money can make even a chicken change its profession; the power of money is indeed the strongest.

"Doing business is really tiring, being a landlord is better."

Goode left with a sigh.

If it weren't for the need to earn a large sum of start-up capital, why would I go through all this trouble? Collecting rent would be much easier and wouldn't require any brainpower.

"Go take a bath."

Goode went to the men's hot spring area, took off his clothes, and jumped in.

Comfortable!

Because it wasn't open yet, he was the only person in the hot spring, and no one bothered him while he swam in it.

However, the unexpected happened, albeit late.

"Good, I'm here!"

A naked girl fell from the sky and crashed down in front of Goode like a boulder, splashing a lot of water.

In a hurry, the girl emerged from underwater, stretching her arms towards the sky, exposing the magnificent view of her upper body to Goode.

"Hahaha, I've been wanting to take a bath for ages!"

"."

Goode wiped the water off his face and emphasized helplessly.

"Yamato, this is the men's bath, right?"

"Yup!"

The girl had no self-awareness whatsoever.

Goode was speechless.

What is right?
Oh well, he won't lose out anyway.

"It's so big."

Goode stroked his chin, his gaze unabashedly admiring the girl.

If you don’t see it, you won’t see it.

He's not a gentleman.

To be honest, Yamato is about 20 centimeters shorter than him, which is a perfect match for his build, while Junti is really too small for him.

One minute, three minutes.
"Don't look at me like that, it's scary."

Yamato felt extremely uncomfortable and grabbed a bath towel to cover his chest.

However, it only covered half of it.

It's even more tempting now.

"Is this girl shy?"

Goode looked at the girl's rosy cheeks and couldn't help but laugh.

No matter how much a woman identifies as a man, her feminine nature will never disappear. Besides, Yamato doesn't actually identify as male; she's just imitating an idol.

It's essentially the same as playing house.

Seeing Goode make fun of her, Yamato blushed even more.

hateful!

The girl stood angrily with her hands on her hips.

The bath towel fell off.

The girl quickly picked up the towel, put one hand on her hip angrily, and demanded, "Good, why did you make me the owner of this shop?!"

"To make money, of course."

Goode's smile was cunning.

Just consider it renting the shop to Yamato.

If Kaido's daughter opens a shop, won't the wealthy gentry be throwing money away?

This sum of money is a huge amount!
With this initial capital, he can make bigger investments. Buying houses one by one is too inefficient; it's better to acquire them in bulk!
That's right, it's real estate!
After all, the amount of real estate he owns is related to the strength of his domineering presence!

The most crucial point here is the young woman in front of him. Without her powerful background as a deterrent, he alone cannot operate in the real estate market, nor does he have enough financial resources and connections.

Goode squinted.

"Yamato, do you want to save this country?"

"miss you!"

Yamato nodded vigorously.

Goode's mouth stretched from ear to ear.

"Okay, I'll help you!"

Let this young girl see for herself how real estate speculation can boost the nation!
