One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 182 I am too beautiful!
New world, windless zone.

Propelled by two giant serpents, the Perfume Serpent raced across the Calm Belt, its highly venomous aura deterring even sea kings from approaching.

Two more warships followed behind.

Hancock sat by the window, gazing at the unchanging, calm sea outside, and yawned out of boredom.

How much longer?

"At most half an hour."

The two younger sisters looked nervous and whispered a reminder: "Big sister, our mission this time is just reconnaissance, please don't do anything else."

"You don't need to remind me."

Hancock was unimpressed.

The two younger sisters exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Although no one can resist the charm of their older sister, this time they are facing one of the Four Emperors, and there is a high possibility that they will run into the infamous Disaster. How could they not be nervous?

The Navy's assigned task for the time being is simply to guide the warships and conduct reconnaissance; whether or not to engage in combat depends on the specific circumstances.

They sincerely hoped that their sister wouldn't do anything unnecessary.

But my sister wouldn't listen!

Even though they are sisters, they cannot interfere with the older sister's thoughts; that's just how willful she is.

Not long after, the door was pushed open.

Cadre Alan was covered in cold sweat, his eyes clearly showing shock: "Lady Snake Princess, and your two imperial sisters, you'd better come out and see!"

"Ok?"

Hancock frowned slightly. She rarely saw Alan so nervous. Had he witnessed something extraordinary?

The three of them came to the deck, and when they saw the huge fortress under construction in the distance, even Hancock, who was usually indifferent to everything, couldn't help but gasp.

"A military fortress?!"

"What are you trying to do, Beast?"

"So many giants!"

Both younger sisters were terrified.

On the island directly ahead, a massive war fortress is under construction, with about half of the main structure already completed.

Countless workers were busy at work, including many giants.

To the southeast of the fortress, two parallel land routes lead to the New World, stretching as far as the eye can see. In the middle of the route, a large number of transport ships come and go, carrying steel, weapons and other supplies.

Pirates are building a fortress!
On the deck of the warship behind them, Vice Admiral Dol and Vice Admiral Mole stared at the massive construction project on the island, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

As base commanders, the two immediately recognized that Beasts was building a fortress, and a large one at that, comparable in size to the G-system branch.

The two found it hard to understand why, since the beasts didn't need to maintain order on the sea, they would build a large fortress, especially one in the calm zone.

"Contact headquarters, and act swiftly!"

The two men broke out in a cold sweat and roared out the order.

The message was quickly relayed to headquarters.

"boom!"

Sengoku slammed his fist on the table, his face turning pale and uncertain. The actions of the beasts had clearly exceeded his expectations.

Normally, building a large fortress requires a massive amount of manpower, material resources, coordination capabilities, and execution ability, which even the Four Emperors' pirate crews cannot afford.

Where did all those beasts get so much money?
No, even money can't buy that!
Despite having the support of the World Government, the Navy has only built fourteen large G-series fortresses over the years.

What makes any beast think it can do that?

What exactly are they trying to do?

He pondered deeply during the Warring States period.

Building a fortress in the calm zone is clearly illogical, unless the fortress can bring huge benefits to all the beasts.

Could it be that!
Zhan Guo suddenly stood up!

"Have the flying squirrel and Dor come back!"

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Sengoku immediately took the intelligence and left. Garp, who was drinking tea in his office, saw this and quickly asked what was wrong.

"Warring States Period, where are you going?"

"Holy place!"

Sengoku left without looking back.

If his guess is correct, he must report to the Five Elders immediately, as this matter is no longer something the Navy can decide.

Meanwhile, the doldrums.

"Retreat!" Upon receiving the order from headquarters, Momonga and Doll immediately ordered a retreat. Wano Country was nearby, and the Beasts' fleet could appear at any moment.

Their mission is accomplished.

The officer rushed over to report.

"Vice Admiral Momonga, Kuja's ship is heading towards the fortress ahead!"

"what?!"

The flying squirrel's expression changed instantly, and it quickly went to the bow of the ship to look around.

The Kuja Pirates showed no intention of retreating; instead, they moved their ship closer, a reckless act that infuriated him.

"Ignore the Nine Serpents, let's go!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, the Perfume Serpent.

The two younger sisters pleaded desperately.

"Sister, the navy has withdrawn, let's leave quickly too!"

"What's there to worry about? They're just a bunch of filthy men."

Hancock sat on a snake-shaped stool made from her pets, her long legs crossed, every movement exuding a deadly allure.

"I ask you, have you ever seen a man that I could not capture?"

"no!"

The subordinates answered in unison.

Hancock raised her hand to touch her chest and calmly stated the facts.

"No matter what I do, whether it's kicking a kitten or murder and robbery, the whole world will forgive me."

"the reason is simple."

"That's right, because I'm too beautiful!"

"Ah—, Lady Snake Princess!"

Everyone's eyes lit up with hearts; they were completely captivated by Hancock's charm.

"Geological Disaster - Goode".

Hancock raised her chin, making no attempt to hide her disdain for Goode; no man had ever been able to resist her charm.

If she could capture Goode and hand him over to the Navy, she could live in peace for three years without having to endure the annoying forced summons.

On the island, the sentries spotted the approaching pirate ship. Once they saw the pirate flag, they immediately rang the war gong.

"clang!!!"

Inside the fortress construction site, Goode was drinking tea under the shade of a pavilion, scrutinizing Yamato as she moved bricks. This girl really enjoyed working.

Upon hearing the alarm, Goode slightly raised his head.

"finally come."

The navy had been sending warships to scout ahead, and it was only a matter of time before they discovered the fortress; however, he did not expect the enemy to launch an attack.

The navy shouldn't be that reckless.

Even if war were to break out, it should be done only after thorough preparation. He had not heard of any large-scale naval military operations.

Yamato ran over, his face full of anticipation.

"Good, wanna fight?"

"You keep working, I'll go check on things."

Good waved his hand.

It shouldn't be a big problem. Yamato's work efficiency is comparable to that of the giants, so we can't delay her work.

The Perfume Serpent docked at the southwestern port.

"Sweet Ganfeng!"

In less than three minutes, all the Beast Pirates who rushed to the scene after hearing the alarm turned to stone with hearts in their eyes, including many of their officers.

Its AOE effect is outstanding.

This scene also relieved the two younger sisters; it seems that even beasts cannot resist the charm of their older sister.

Hancock surveyed the fortress.

"Has that geological disaster not occurred yet?"

According to intelligence provided by the Navy, Disaster Goode has not appeared recently, so he is most likely on this island.

Let me turn it into stone!
