One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 194 The Cat and Dog Kings, Die!

The moment Groudon appeared, the war was over.

The next morning, the battlefield was in ruins.

The two Mink Tribe kings, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, were tied to the execution rack, and the Musketeers and the Knights of Favonius received the same treatment.

Most of the Mink Tribe members who had been hiding in the forest were found by the pirate army and driven to the execution square.

Faced with an invincible enemy, the Mink Tribe was utterly terrified and powerless to resist.

Even the Leo Moon has been defeated.

"Coo-cat!"

The cat viper struggled and hissed, "Even as a ghost, I, Old Cat, will haunt you! One day, my vengeful spirit will curse you to death!"

"Noisy!"

Goode pulled out his pistol, aimed it at the cat viper's head, and, under everyone's watchful eyes, pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"boom!"

Smoke billowed from the muzzle of the gun.

A bloody hole appeared between the cat viper's eyebrows, and blood flowed down its face. Its eyes gradually lost focus.

died.

"Boss Cat Viper!!!"

"Strange cat!!!"

The people cried out in grief and indignation, and even Duke Inuarashi, who was at odds with Nekomamushi, couldn't help but burst into tears.

No one expected that the pirates would kill the Nekomamushi boss without hesitation; the pirates' cruelty terrified them.

Goode looked indifferently at the furry tribe.

"Jack, what are we here for?"

"Chase down the remnants of Guangyue!"

Jack answered in a deep voice.

"That's right!"

Goode looked at the Mink Tribe people.

"Your two kings were retainers of Kozuki Oden and were once our enemies. That is why they died!"

"To be associated with the Kozuki clan is a capital offense!"

“I know very well that the Mink Tribe and the Kozuki Tribe were allies hundreds of years ago, but that era is long gone.”

"Most of you have never seen the Kozuki clan in your lives, and you don't even know whether the Kozuki clan is good or bad. You have only been instilled with the concept that you are like brothers with the Kozuki clan."

"You are not Kozuki's slaves!"

"You are free."

"I'm giving you the right to choose, and I hope you have your own thoughts: do you want to uphold the Kozuki and continue to be our enemies, or do you want to lay down your weapons and submit to us!"

After Good finished speaking, he looked at Inuarashi.

"Dog King, I'll give you a chance: either let the people put aside their hatred, or let them die with you."

"."

Inuarashi's face was pale.

The death of the cat viper made him realize that this man really would kill the Mink Tribe, and if he didn't do something, everyone would die.

"Let's go, give them some time."

Goode led his men away to the giant whale tree.

There is still a fleet below Zou, and the Mink Tribe has no chance of escaping in their current state if they hide.

Then he would burn the country to the ground.

If they cannot be used by him, it means they are his enemies. Otherwise, these Mink warriors will surely follow Kozuki to take revenge on the beasts in the future.

Seeing the pirates leave, the Mink Tribe residents rushed to the execution rack, frantically releasing Inuarashi and the other bound warriors.

"Your Majesty the Duke."

"."

Inuarashi sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Nekomamushi's corpse, raising his hand to cover his face, silently shedding tears.

He knew he was going to die today.

He might be able to escape, but the consequence would be the deaths of the Mink Tribe, a result he would rather die than accept.

"Wanda, Garrot."

Inuarashi summoned the two men, pressed his head to the ground, and pleaded, "I want to ask you for a favor. The future of Zou is in your hands!"

"Your Grace, please get up!" The two girls were terrified.

Within the Musketeers, they are among the less senior members, especially Carrot, who is only 12 years old and has just joined the Musketeers; she can't even transform into a Sulong yet.

With their abilities, how could they possibly shoulder such a heavy responsibility?

"We cannot—"

The two were stunned, swallowing their words of refusal.

The other musketeers and warriors of the Knights of the Hill all took up their weapons and surrounded Duke Inuarashi, their eyes burning with the fire of revenge, clearly ready to die.

The Duke asked them for help because there was no one else he could entrust with it, but it would be too despicable for them to be the only ones to survive.

"Your Grace, sob sob!"

Carrot couldn't help but cry.

Duke Inuarashi rose to face the people.

"This war was caused by me and the Cat Viper; it is our responsibility. I now issue this final order in the name of the King of the Fluffy Principality."

"Don't avenge us!"

"The darkness will soon pass. Please be patient for now. When dawn breaks, we will need the strength of the Mink Tribe!"

A final request from the King.

Seeing the Duke take up arms and leave, the people closed their eyes in anguish, unable to bear seeing their lord die.

Soon after, in the Whale Forest.

"Boom boom boom!"

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, but the battle quickly subsided.

Below the whale tree.

The pirate army climbed the vines, like an ant colony, and conducted a carpet search on the surface of the whale tree.

After several hours of waiting.

"Found it, Lord Goode!"

"At the tail!"

"This is absolutely amazing!"

Inside the deep tree hollow, a huge red road sign stands in the center, and even from a distance, one can feel the heavy weight of history.

"Haylding, move this stone to my ship!"

"give it to me."

The Poneglyphs are large and heavy, but they are nothing to the giants; at most, a few people can take turns carrying them.

Goode led his men back into the city.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi are both dead, and the Mink Tribe's elite musketeer squad and the Knights of Favonius have also been wiped out.

The elder of the Mink Tribe, Grandpa Monkey, bowed deeply, his face contorted with rage: "Lord Pirate, we are willing to submit to you."

"Quite sensible."

Goode glanced at the other person.

He could sense the suppressed anger and resentment of the Mink Tribe, but he didn't care. These guys were all single-minded; they would all die for a stranger named Raizo.

I don't know whether to call it loyalty or foolishness.

If there were genuine gratitude involved, that would be one thing, but he couldn't see any remorse or desire to repay the Mink Tribe in Kin'emon and the others.

"Speed, take all the Mink children aged 12 to 18 away."

"understand!"

Given the growth cycle of the fur tribe, they have considerable fighting ability by the age of 12. Too young and they need to be taken care of; too old and it's not good either, as it's difficult to change their mindset.

After several days of unrest, all the young men of the Mink tribe were taken away and sent to the fortress, where a completely new life awaited them.

Let's start with laying bricks!
Meanwhile, inside the fortress.

The elderly man wearing a helmet secretly found Hancock's two sisters.

"Mr. Raleigh?!"

"Shh!"

Looking at Rayleigh, Sandersonia and Marigold could not believe their eyes; they never dreamed that Rayleigh would come to save them.

Where is Hancock?

"My sister is on Goode's ship!"
