One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 178 Land Reclamation!

Having won the war between the Four Emperors, the Beast Pirates' threat to the World Government has increased significantly. Not only Good, but the bounties of all the other officers have also risen considerably.

"Jin the Flame" has a bounty of 1.69 billion Berries!
"Fizz" Forsford, bounty of 646 million Berry.

"The Phantom" Speed, bounty of 170 million Berries!
The amount of the bounty increases varies slightly depending on the rank of the officers, starting at a minimum of 2000 million Berries and reaching a maximum of 3 million Berries.

and also!

Kaido, the "strongest creature," has a bounty of 5,011,100,000 Berries!
In this era, Kaido's bounty was second only to Whitebeard's 5.046 billion Berries, with almost no difference between the two.

This means that the World Government's level of attention to the Beasts Pirates has approached or even surpassed that of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Of course, the biggest increase was in Goode.

The bounty is 30 million Baileys!
A bounty high enough to shock the world!
A nation of laborers.

Goode held the Den Den Mushi, a bright smile on his face.

"The person you're looking for is in the Devil's Triangle area in the first half of the sea."

"I have no penchant for lying!"

"Hehehe, see you later!"

The Den Den Mushi hung up.

Having gotten rid of the troublesome fellow, Good felt much more at ease. He summoned Speed ​​and asked, "What's the Red-Haired Pirates up to?"

"The redhead is still in Elbaf."

Speed ​​reported with a smile: "According to the news from over there, Shanks has taken back the flag he sent out, and now the captains under Shanks' command are in complete chaos."

"Well, don't worry about them."

Goode smiled.

Taking advantage of this great victory, he had no intention of letting the Red-Haired Pirates go. Destroying the Red-Haired Pirates would be too difficult, but driving them away was still possible.

He won't allow the redhead to stay in the New World!
Redheads are quite sensible.

Now that Shanks has taken back the flag, the next step will inevitably be to leave the New World and temporarily stay away from the vortex of war.

This is good for both of us!

Goode pondered for a moment and said, "Immediately dispatch a construction team to Gotel Island to build a small fortress according to the standards of Hive Island!"

"Also, fly the Beasts banner on the resource-rich islands under Shanks' command, and ignore the rest of the worthless islands."

If Shanks doesn't intend to fight anymore, then he should quickly divide up the other side's territory, so that while the beasts feast on the meat, they can also leave some soup for other forces to lick.

Good thought for a moment and added, "Contact Stussy and have her send professionals to assess the resource value of our new land and develop a development plan."

"Well, I'll arrange it right away."

Speed ​​turned and left.

Goode went to the window and looked out at the bustling port.

Not long after the New Year, the beasts brought an earthquake to the New World. Now all the forces should understand who the real boss of the New World is.

All that's left is to extract resources from other islands and supply them to the labor nation, and the fate of the beasts will be sealed.

He can't compare to the World Government, but in the underworld he will undoubtedly be No. 1, and everyone will have to give him face.

"Chikara, issue the order to set sail."

"Yes, Lord Goode!"

A moment later, Goode transformed into a giant Groudon and stepped into the sea, with thick smoke billowing around him.

The Groudon was sailing alongside.

"Lord Goode, what are we going to do?"

"Connect the nations of laborers!"

Goode's eyes were filled with excitement.

Since he had nothing better to do anyway, he decided to reclaim land from the sea and build a road!

First, connect all the islands of the Laborer Country together. This will greatly facilitate the flow of goods between the islands.

"You lead the way!"

"understand!"

Groudon led the way, with Goode following behind. As lava erupted around them, solid land, about a hundred meters wide, appeared on the sea.

"Is this a miracle?"

The laborers on the island had blank stares.

This scene, comparable to a miracle, completely shattered their understanding!

Time passes day by day.

The restless pirates, keeping a close eye on the Red-Haired Pirates, could no longer contain themselves after discovering that Shanks had no intention of seeking revenge against the Beasts, and began to invade Shanks' territory. On a certain island, a massive pirate invasion occurred.

The pirates guarding the island roared.

"Stop right there! This island is the territory of the Red-Haired Boss!"

"Red hair?!"

The pirate leaped up and chopped the red-haired pirate flag hanging in the harbor in two, mocking it mercilessly.

"So what if he's one of the Four Emperors? That guy is just a loser now, a cowardly pirate who doesn't dare to take revenge on the beasts!"

"Open your eyes and watch carefully!"

"From this day forward, our captain will be the ruler of this island!"

The captain, carrying a large sword, appeared. His imposing figure, standing seven or eight meters tall, immediately intimidated the town's guardians.

"Woohoo!"

"Listen up, all of you! The new owner of this island is none other than yours truly, with a bounty of 8006 million Berries!"

"The great pirate, Lord Teabeard!"

Apart from the islands flying the Beasts Flag, the rest of Red-Haired's territory was constantly engulfed in war. However, the Red-Haired Pirates remained unusually quiet in the face of the pirates' provocations.

Until the news came out.

The Red-Haired Pirates have left the New World!

Naval Headquarters, Operations Conference Room.

Conference officer Brannus held the intelligence.

"Just now, the Red-Haired Pirates arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Leaving the New World means that Shanks' position as one of the Four Emperors is now merely nominal, but the main force of the Red-Haired Pirates is still intact, and their strength should not be underestimated!"

In battles between pirates, the loser loses everything; this was true for great pirates like Crocodile and Moria.

Even the Four Emperors are no exception!
The defeated Four Emperors have lost their right to rule the New World, and besides, the Beasts have defeated Shanks, so it's impossible for them to let Shanks stay.

To make a comeback, Shanks would need to defeat the Beasts or be evenly matched with them to have a chance to establish himself again in the New World.

Brannu continued his explanation.

"The key now is the beasts!"

"As expected, the Beasts quickly occupied most of the Red-Haired Pirates' territory, and their sphere of influence expanded significantly."

"The threat posed by the beasts to the world now surpasses that of the other four emperors!"

"What we need to do now is to curb the growth of all beasts!"

The officers were pale.

The situation in the New World has become unbalanced, and the Beasts Pirates will surely be able to seize this opportunity to grow stronger once again.

But the New World is the territory of the Four Emperors, no, the Three Emperors. Even the Navy cannot wage war against the Four Emperors in the New World.

The Navy cannot afford the losses!

"There's another troublesome matter."

Brannu turned on the projector Den Den Mushi.

Several photos appeared on the screen.

One of the images is of the Gothic Sea, the site of the Four Emperors War, where a piece of land was left on the sea after the war ended.

The other photo is of the country of laborers.

Several islands are connected by land, and the number of connected islands is increasing rapidly. There are also scenes of Groudon creating land.

"Disaster Goode, this man is undoubtedly the most troublesome existence for all beasts. Now, Disaster Goode has even demonstrated the ability to reclaim land from the sea!"

Reclaiming land from the sea!

Although the area may not seem large, everyone understands what it means if it can connect all the islands under the command of the Hundred Beasts.

The main reason why countries develop slowly, and even experience irreparable time lags, is that they are separated by oceans.

If they were connected by land, the development speed of all beasts would be greatly increased.

Brannu slammed his fist on the wall and shouted.

"The most terrifying thing about the Earth Disaster is not only his powerful strength, but also his shrewd mind. It is precisely because of his active performance that the Beasts Pirates have grown uncontrollably!"

"He is the Navy's biggest threat!"

"No matter the cost, we must eliminate geological disasters!"
