One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 186 God of the Earth!

Several days flew by.

[The Seven Warlords of the Sea have been defeated!]

[The world's most beautiful woman has become a prisoner!]

【The Pirate Empress is so miserable! 】

The latest issue of the newspaper has been released, and news of the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock being captured by the Beasts has quickly spread throughout the world.

The pitiful photos of her in prison saddened and angered countless men who admired her, making them wish they could rescue Hancock immediately.

A restaurant on the East China Sea.

"Woo woo woo woo woo!!!"

A man was holding a plate, tears streaming down his face.

"My little Hancock!"

"It's so annoying to see her crying like that!"

The restaurant staff started swearing.

This guy cried for a whole day after seeing the newspaper.

Fire blazed in the man's eyes!

"That damned Scourge Goode! How dare he do such a terrible thing to the beautiful and charming Lady Hancock! I will never forgive him!"

"Are you envious of geological disasters?"

Her companions sneered, "Such a beautiful woman falling into the hands of pirates, you can imagine what will happen."

"Shut up, waaaaah!"

The same situation occurs all over the world.

As the world's most beautiful woman, countless men have posters of her in their rooms and deeply admire her.

But all talk and no action.

The Pirate Empress was imprisoned by the Beasts. No matter how much courage they had, they wouldn't dare to rescue her. They would be considered courageous if they dared to utter a few words.

Shampoo Islands, Island No. 17.

Shaki's Extortion Bar.

"Hancock."

"I messed with the wrong person."

Rayleigh looked at the newspaper, his eyes filled with worry.

Xia Qi, behind the bar, also had a cigarette dangling from her lips and a worried expression on her face.

As the previous generation's Pirate Empress, Kuja is her maternal family, so seeing Hancock in distress, she naturally wanted to rescue her.

But of all people to mess with, he had to mess with all the beasts.

Not long ago, Shanks visited them when he passed through Sabaody Archipelago and they talked about the Battle of Gottel.

That geological disaster was extremely powerful.

Moreover, it is located in the territory of all beasts.

Rayleigh took a swig of wine.

Even if he were the legendary Hades, the chances of him successfully rescuing Hancock from the Beasts' stronghold would be almost zero.

There was silence for a long time.

Shakky finished her cigarette and sighed, "The Beasts probably want the World Government to strip Hancock of her title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"Ah."

Rayleigh nodded slightly.

As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, being defeated would mean losing his title, and it's highly likely that Beasts released the information for this purpose.

Losing a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is a significant loss for the World Government, and finding a successor will take a considerable amount of time.

In this way, Hancock becomes an ordinary pirate, and given Kaido's style, he might very well want to recruit her.

"At least Hancock is still alive."

The two comforted themselves inwardly.

If the Beasts wanted to kill Hancock, they would see news of her death, not imprisonment.

Therefore, Hancock is safe for the time being.

Rayleigh put down his glass and stood up.

"Xia Qi, I'll go!"

"Do not impulse!"

"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash."

Rayleigh shook his head: "I'm just a coating craftsman now, not that conspicuous. I've heard that the atmosphere in the Labor Country is good, so I'll sneak in and gather some information."

"I will go with you."

Xia Qi lit another cigarette.

"My intelligence gathering skills are a hundred times better than yours." "Then thank you very much."

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

"I apologize, Marshal Sengoku!"

The flying squirrel and Dol bowed their heads and apologized with remorse.

If they had been able to stop Hancock, things wouldn't have turned out this way. The capture of the Seven Warlords of the Sea also affected the World Government's reputation.

"I don't blame you."

Warring States shook his head.

It's not surprising that the pirate empress does anything; she's just met her match this time.

The biggest problem now is still the beasts.

Sengoku rubbed his forehead, his head aching, as the scene of his conversation with the Five Elders a few days earlier flashed through his mind, making him feel increasingly heavy-hearted.

"If the navy goes all out, what are the chances of annihilating the beasts?"

"Thirty percent!"

Only a 30% chance!

Offense and defense are not the same thing.

Wano Country is located in the heart of the New World and is a natural fortress, making it difficult for warships to scale the waterfall and invade Wano Country, thus hindering their ability to utilize their numerical superiority.

And Kaido too!

Even he and Garp were not confident of defeating Kaido, who was in his prime and at his peak.

The title of "strongest" is earned through battle!
In this era, Kaido may be the strongest.

Moreover, the New World is pirate territory, and with the Navy launching a full-scale attack, restless pirates are likely to seize the opportunity to strike.

Even if we target the fortress that the beasts are building, it won't make much difference. The fortress can be rebuilt after it's destroyed; at most, it will only delay things for a while.

The navy can't afford to lose.

Moreover, if the navy fails, the entire world will be plunged into turmoil, and it may even shake the rule of the world government.

The risk is too great.

Several days have passed, and the Holy Land has yet to issue any orders, clearly indicating that they dare not gamble, nor can they afford to gamble.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period!"

Brannu arrived outside the office.

"The World Government has just issued an order officially stripping Boa Hancock of her title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"."

Zhan Guo took a deep breath.

At this juncture, abandoning the Pirate Empress would be unwise, as it would cause discontent among the other Shichibukai, since the Empress provoked the Beasts on the orders of the World Government.

But news of the Empress's defeat had already spread throughout the world, and in order to save face, the World Government had no choice but to do this.

Holy Land Marie Gioia.

Halls of power.

The five elders all had gloomy faces.

"That man's abilities could very well become the Holy Land's greatest threat!"

"I never imagined that the world possessed such a special ability to reclaim land from the sea, yet we knew nothing about it!"

"Groudon, the Earth God!"

"Even more terrifying than Binicar!"

Nika, the "Sun God," is a warrior of liberation.

The enemy that God fears most!
But now, something even more terrifying than Nika has appeared.

"Geological Disaster" Good!
Nika is just a legend, and it's uncertain whether it even exists. Meanwhile, the threat of geological disasters is imminent and even more terrifying than Nika.

As expected, in a few years the sea level will rise to submerge all the islands, with only the Holy Land on the Red Earth and its slaves succumbing to the ravages of war escaping.

At that time, they will create a new world.

But now things have changed!

It can create geological disasters on the continent, breaking the world's impending destruction. The continent created by these disasters will become the hope of the ants!

In other words, geological disasters will become gods for ants!
This is absolutely unacceptable!
Destabilizing factors must be eliminated!
But the power of geological disasters is no longer that of ants that can be crushed at will; the cost of eliminating them is something they cannot afford.

"Lord Im has ordered us to wait a few more years."

"You mean"

"According to Vegapunk's report, the Mother Spark will be born in three years!"

"."

With the Mother Flame as its energy source, the Ancient Weapons can be activated, and even Wano Country, where Kaido resides, can be destroyed in one blow!
"Before that, we must try every possible method to eliminate the geological disaster!"

"Fellow stars, I have a suggestion!"
