One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 189: Prepare for both situations!

As the two Celestial Dragons left, the giant Cerberus transformed into black flames and returned to Shamrock's side.

Goode lowered his middle finger and rubbed his chin.

"Cerberus!"

"The Celestial Dragons have so many good things!"

Even the sword is a Mythical Zoan type, and it's in its awakened state. The word "luxury" doesn't even begin to describe it. The Celestial Dragons have ruled the world for eight hundred years, and their wealth is simply too vast.

Mythical Zoan species, rarely seen outside the world, are as common as cabbages among the Celestial Dragons. The Azure Dragon Fruit and the Paw-Paw Fruit also originally belonged to the Celestial Dragons.

This means that all the elites among the Celestial Dragons possess top-tier abilities, and even if their personal foundation and Haki are somewhat lacking, their combat strength will not be low.

The Five Elders and the Knights of God have at least fifteen top-tier fighters, plus the Navy, and the soon-to-be-born Pacifistas and Seraphim.

This is the complete form of a world government.

In comparison, the Beasts' side is severely lacking in combat power. The only ones who can truly fight are him and Kaido, with King and Yamato added at most.

Not enough, not enough at all.

"Damn, I'm having a firepower shortage phobia!"

Good cursed under his breath.

Hearing the explosion, his subordinates rushed over, and even a certain restless empress joined in the fun.

However, the enemy had already left.

"Lord Goode, are there any enemies?"

"No big deal."

Goode walked toward his subordinates, waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Two annoying Celestial Dragons came and tried to invite me to join the Knights of God, but I chased them away."

"Eh???"

They drove away the Celestial Dragons?!
The subordinates were startled.

Although I don't know what the Knights of God are, the fact that they can get the Celestial Dragons involved means they're no ordinary people.

As expected of Lord Goode!

Hancock knelt on the ground.

She had been to the Holy Land and knew of the existence of the Knights of God. Joining the Knights of God meant becoming a Celestial Dragon, and even having a higher status than ordinary Celestial Dragons.

This man not only fought against the Celestial Dragons.

He also refused to become a god?
How could there be such a fool in the world!
"Alright, everyone get back to work!"

Goode reprimanded his men, and after they dispersed, he summoned Speed.

"How long until the international tea party?"

"There's still half a year."

Speed ​​was somewhat puzzled.

The World Tea Party is similar in nature to the Fire Festival, and is usually held in winter unless there are special circumstances.

"Okay, as long as it doesn't clash with the schedule."

Goode considered it for a moment.

With the giants' assistance, the fortress can be completed in three months at most, and the interior decoration can be done slowly afterwards.

We need to be faster!

The thought of the World Government's military strength made him uneasy. Although the possibility was very low, what if those high and mighty guys lost their minds and decided to fight him to the death?

It's never wrong to plan ahead.

Goode's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

"Speed, go and send invitations to all the major powers in the New World. Tell them that in three months, the Beasts will be holding a grand banquet, and we also want to invite Whitebeard and Big Mom."

"clear."

Speed ​​nodded.

Normally, the major royal groups don't come into contact with each other casually. For example, they don't invite the Beasts to tea parties because they are all enemies.

Goode nodded and added, "Also, immediately send people to the country of laborers to recruit workers. We need to speed up the project here and complete it within three months!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, at the Gin Inari Shrine.

Goode sat down on the bench.

"Miss Miyaji, please tell my fortune again."

"Ok?"

The palace attendant crossed his arms and pricked up his ears in dissatisfaction.

Today's divination has already been done!

Extra fortune telling? Extra charge! *Slap!*

A gold coin was slapped onto the table.

100 gold!
The priest's eyes lit up, and he swiftly slipped the gold coins into his sleeve before cautiously asking, "You don't need change this time, right?"

"If the calculation is accurate, then there's no need to use it!"

Goode emphasized it.

The divination he had just received came true, which gave him some faith in the woman's divination abilities; perhaps this woman wasn't entirely a charlatan.

"Calculate Zou's location for me again!"

"Okay, my lord."

The priest happily took out the fortune-telling tube and forcefully plucked a tuft of fur from his tail as a prop.

Her hair grows back every year, but once the opportunity to make money is missed, it's truly gone forever. Besides, summer is just around the corner, and she's currently shedding.

"A vast sea of ​​clouds, the rising sun."

"The divination indicates the direction is due east, but there will be weather obstacles, and it may take some time to find it."

"it is good."

Goode narrowed his eyes.

Previously in Wano Country, the divination indicated the northwest direction, but this time it's due east, a completely reversed direction. This suggests that Zou is wandering in a place slightly north of the two directions.

Let Jack go find it.

Currently, the three cadres with the fewest tasks are the top three, among whom Jack is hardworking and reliable.

Looking at Goode's expression, the priest hesitated before asking, "Lord Goode, are you planning to conquer Zou?"

"Yes."

Goode nodded.

In Kaido's words, the more combat power the better, and the Mink Tribe is extremely powerful, definitely a rare and valuable force.

He wanted to unite all forces to make the World Government hesitate to act, while also increasing the number of Beasts' troops as much as possible.

Grab it with both hands!

"You care about Zou?"

"No, it's just..."

The palace official was somewhat conflicted.

She was born in Wano Country and had no feelings for Zou. However, she was of Mink Tribe blood and, for both reason and emotion, did not want Zou to suffer.

"I understand your concerns."

Goode smirked and suggested, "How about this? After I conquer Zou, you will become the king of the Mink Tribe, and you will get a share of all the money the Mink Tribe earns!"

"Eh?!"

The palace priest opened his eyes wide in surprise.

She wasn't interested in being king, but she cared a lot about the money; the entire Mink Tribe must have made so much money!
Moreover, she is a palace priest, a messenger of the gods!
Deceiving people is their forte!

"That's settled then, I have other things to do."

Goode got up and left.

The Celestial Dragons gave him a one-month deadline, which meant he didn't have to worry about war for a month, so he had to hurry.

The road must be paved within this month, and the fortress at the other end of the windless zone must be almost completely built within three months.

And also take down Zou.

The order was quickly relayed back to Ghost Island.

The pirates hurriedly found Jack: "Captain Jack, Lord Goode has sent orders for you to find Zou. These are the coordinates Lord Goode sent."

"."

Jack took the nautical chart.

This was the first time Brother Goode had ever asked him to do something!

The task must be completed!

"Immediately gather all available personnel!"

"Yes!"

Half a day later, dozens of large and small Beast Fleets left Wano Country and headed towards the eastern sea.

Meanwhile, a nation of laborers.

Job postings were everywhere, and the pay was quite good, attracting the interest of many workers.

An older man seized the opportunity.
