One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 200 Old Deng and his gang are fighting, stop it!

The Hoenn Fortress entered the port, and the warships docked.

"Sir, the port entry application has been approved!"

"Ah."

Three CP0 agents wearing masks and white coats disembarked from the ship; the one in the lead was an old acquaintance.

Senior Agent Guernica.

"This mission, I'm afraid..."

Guernica was in a terrible predicament.

He had no choice but to carry out the orders from the Five Elders. There were two Four Emperors in the fortress ahead, and if they were not careful, they would die without a burial place.

Fortunately, he had some connection with geological disasters.

Otherwise, it might not even be possible to enter the port.

"Let's go!"

Hoenn Fortress, underground chamber.

Kaido arrived together with Big Mom.

"Good."

"Brother Kaido, Aunt Linlin."

Goode smiled at the two of them.

"Brother Kaido, I've found a special treasure that I want to give to you, but I hope you can share it with Aunt Linlin."

"A treasure, want to share?"

Kaido was somewhat puzzled.

What kind of treasure can be shared?

Kaido grinned: "Hehehe, you said you had a big surprise gift, you weren't referring to this treasure, were you?"

"Yes."

Goode nodded and smiled at the older woman.

“Brother Kaido, I’ve heard about your relationship with Aunt Linlin. Although we are enemies now, I personally hope that you can get along better.”

"Mama~ Mama~~"

The old woman scoffed: "You're young, but you know a lot. But Kaido probably didn't tell you how much he owes me!"

"Enough, Lingling!"

Kaido's face fell, and he picked up the sake jug and started chugging it down.

Feeling guilty, I'm secretly angry.

"Hahaha, Aunt Lingling."

Goode smiled and smoothed things over: "That's all in the past. We should look to the future. Hearing that you've come in person, I've prepared a special gift for you!"

"Hmph, you're much more sensible than Kaido."

The woman's expression softened considerably.

Goode glanced at Kaido with pity.

They're practically being completely controlled.

No wonder, it truly is a great favor.

Without the Azure Dragon Fruit given to him by Big Mom, Kaido would never have the status he has today; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she gave him a second chance at life.

Kaido was sullen.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just show it to me."

"it is good!"

Goode stomped his foot, and the ground beside him suddenly rose up, revealing a huge red stone in front of the two of them.

Kaido and Big Mom stared wide-eyed.

Surprise!

A surprise beyond surprises!

Goode casually sat down.

Do you like this gift?

"like!"

The two nodded vigorously at the same time, their eyes fixed on the red stone, which was something they had always longed for!

The text on the red road sign!

"and many more!"

Kaido finally came to his senses and roared, "Good, are you planning to give this old woman a copy of the inscription on this road sign?"

"You brat, who's the old woman here?!"

The old woman grabbed Kaido by the collar, her eyes red: "What business is it of yours what Good gave me as a gift? Don't yell at him!"

"Lingling, I can't give you this!"

Kaido also lost his temper.

The inscription on the red road marker is the key to becoming the Pirate King. Such a precious treasure should not be shared with outsiders.

"This is a treasure of all our beasts!"

"Damn it, this is a gift from Goode! Once it's given away, there's no reason to take it back!"

The two elderly people started fighting again.

Goode was speechless.

It's just a rock, is it worth getting into a huge fight over?

In a short time, the two emperors were bruised and battered. Although they didn't fight seriously, they were still quite ruthless.

"Stop fighting! If you keep hitting me, I'll throw this stone into the sea!"

The two stopped at the same time.

Goode took out the rubbing of the original text and handed it to the old lady: "Aunt Lingling, I can't give you this stone, I only have the rubbing, is that alright?"

"Okay, okay, no problem!"

The woman quickly hugged the rubbing, beaming with joy, and said, "You're such a cute boy. Why don't you come to my place? You can choose any of my daughters."

"Uh, no need."

Goode chuckled and refused, then secretly glanced at Kaido.

Ugh, I'm sulking again.

You don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until you're in charge of the household!

What good would it do the beasts to be enemies with Big Mom? Uniting together to fight against the World Government is the only way forward.

The prerequisite for cooperation is a generous gift that is hard to refuse, enough to make the older woman set aside her prejudices and hostility.

Cannibals are soft and short.

With this special gift, he didn't believe that Big Mom would still have the nerve to hate all beasts. Even pirates have to have some sense of righteousness (face).

Besides, Kaido is all bark and no bite when it comes to Big Mom; he may be fierce in his words, but he may not be without feelings for her.

"Snapped!"

Good snapped his fingers.

The inscription on the road sign has sunk underground.

Its concealment is superb; even if someone finds this secret room, it would be difficult to discover the inscription on the road stele buried deep underground.

Goode glanced at the time and smiled, "Aunt Lingling, I have something to do. You and Brother Kaido can stay here, have a drink, and catch up."

Drinks and a sumptuous dessert were prepared in advance in the private room, and no one would disturb them, so the two elderly people needed some privacy.

Currently, the Beasts and Big Mom Pirates are not yet at the point where they can form an alliance, since without external pressure, they are each other's biggest competitors.

However, cooperation is still possible.

What Goode wanted was food from all nations.

Onigashima can rely on Wano Country, but its Hoenn Fortress has to support a large number of people, and food is already in short supply. Meanwhile, Whole Cake Island has a serious surplus of food.

Especially sugar!

Whether for consumption or industry, sugar is needed in large quantities, and there is probably no place in the world that produces more sugar than the rest of the world.

The mutual flow of resources is a necessary condition for development.

An uninvited guest arrives at the fortress square.

"CP0?"

"Why are government officials here?!"

"Who let them in!"

The guests all frowned.

Living in the underground world, the last person they want to deal with is the World Government. However, with the forces stationed by the Beasts, CP0 cannot enter the venue without permission.

This means that CP0's goal is not to start a war.

"Fufufufu~~"

Xiao Ming squatted on the chair, grinning mischievously.

"Something interesting is about to happen!"

Guernica stepped forward and produced a document signed by a Celestial Dragon: "Our purpose in coming here is to capture the Celestial Dragon's slave, the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock!"

"what?!"

The guests were greatly surprised.

Is the Pirate Empress a slave of the Celestial Dragons?
Guernica said coldly, "Boa Hancock, Sandersonia, Marigold, you three sisters were all slaves of the Celestial Dragons, and you bear the mark of the Celestial Dragon's hoof on your backs!"

"."

Hancock's face turned deathly pale, and an overwhelming sense of fear rose within her.

This fear stemmed not only from the prospect of being apprehended by the CP0, but also from the despair of having their secret of being a slave exposed.

Although the mark has been erased, the shadow in one's heart will never easily disappear.

Just then, Goode came to Hancock's side, gently put his arm around her shoulder, and whispered words of comfort.

"Don't panic, I'm here."

"Good."

Hancock looked up at Goode, her hands gripping his clothes tightly, her body still trembling slightly.

This posture is like that of a stray dog ​​that has been deeply hurt.

But some things you just have to face.

Goode looked at Guernica.

Guernica had already explained his purpose to him when he applied for entry into the port; otherwise, he would not have allowed him to enter.

Even if they don't meet this time, the World Government has other ways. What they want is not to take back Hancock, but to destroy her.

Simply exposing the fact that Hancock was once a slave would be enough to crush her spirit; this woman is not that strong inside.

If Hancock's spirit breaks down, she probably won't even dare to leave her room, let alone become his helper.

Manipulating public opinion is a specialty of world governments, and he has witnessed its power more than once in his homeland.

It can easily ruin a person!

They didn't even have a chance to defend themselves!
Therefore, face it if you can. If the fact that you were a slave is published in the newspapers, then you will truly be unable to defend yourself.

"Watch your words, CP0!"

Goode pulled Hancock into his arms, and under everyone's gaze, his cold Conqueror's Haki erupted!
"She is my woman!"
