One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 229 You guys are too weak!

Goode led Drake on a aimless stroll through the streets, since they'd never been before and would just wander wherever they ended up.

"Drake, it's been three years since we last met, hasn't it?"

"Exactly three years."

Drake's face was grim.

Three years ago, the Beehive Island incident occurred.

He suffered the biggest failure of his life.

To atone for his mistakes, he resolutely left the navy, choosing a perilous path of no return.

Goode smiled, feigning ignorance.

"How did you become a pirate?"

"Back then, I took full responsibility for what happened without authorization. On the way to Enies Lobby for trial, I escaped from prison and then fled back to the North Blue to become a pirate."

Drake explained in a deep voice.

This was the reason for his downfall that the Warring States marshal had prepared for him.

To avoid arousing suspicion, he deliberately returned to the North Blue and became a pirate for two years, making a name for himself before heading to the Grand Line.

In this way, the Beasts Pirates would have no reason to suspect that he was an undercover agent. Given Kaido's preference for Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, he would definitely not refuse this ancient Zoan user.

Once he enters the new world, all he needs to do is invade the territory of the beasts and demonstrate his abilities, and he can then easily infiltrate the beasts.

A perfectly planned scheme!
"So that's it."

Goode stopped and rubbed his chin.

Think for a long time.

Goode smiled broadly and made the suggestion.

"Want to come work for me?"

"what?!"

Drake stared in astonishment, his mouth agape.

What's happening here?
He had prepared a perfect plan, intending to feign resistance and display his manly prowess after being captured by the beasts, ultimately forcing them to submit, thereby increasing his value.

So, they tried to recruit him as soon as they met?

"why?"

"Haha, well."

Goode's eyes showed admiration: "Actually, I wanted to recruit you the first time we met. You should know that Beasts is famous for its Zoan-type abilities, and I also admire you from a personal point of view."

"."

Drake's eyes turned black.

He prepared for three years!
What exactly is the reason for this?!
The subordinates looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing the conversation.

It turns out that their captain was an old acquaintance of a big shot like the Disaster, and the Disaster even wanted to recruit the captain to join the Beasts.

Shocking! Utterly shocking!
There are surprises!

If they could join the Beasts, they would truly have a powerful backer and could roam freely even in the perilous new world.

Drake struggled internally.

He certainly wanted to join the Beasts, but agreeing so easily would likely make him hard to gain their respect. However, if he missed this opportunity, it would be a bit unreasonable to try to join the Beasts again later.

The other party gave them a chance but didn't take it, insisting on getting a beating instead.

Isn't that despicable?

Another point is that he is very concerned about the other party's purpose in appearing in Sabaody Archipelago, and such important information must be conveyed to the Marine Headquarters.

Drake took a deep breath and quickly made up his mind: "Mr. Goode, joining your ranks isn't just a matter for me alone. Can I discuss it with my partners?"

"of course can."

Goode smiled and nodded, gesturing with his hand.

Although this kid is a naval undercover agent, he is hardworking and efficient, much more so than the other six members of the Flying Six.

Most importantly, Drake was a former rear admiral in the Navy, a professionally trained officer, and he desperately needed a disciplined, idealistic, and righteous general to help him manage the fortress.

It's definitely not suitable to be a trusted confidant.

But as an employee, Drake is exceptionally talented!

Drake and his friends gathered together.

"Captain, this is an opportunity not to be missed!"

"We're about to soar into the sky!"

"The geological disaster expert personally invited me; that's incredibly kind of him!"

Drake was helpless.

His own crew was completely overwhelmed with joy, but it was also his fault, as he had never shown much ambition.

Once you arrive in the New World, joining one of the Four Emperors would be the best outcome.

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"

The sounds of battle reached my ears.

Drake looked ahead, his gaze darkening.

It's Kira, the "Strange Monk" and the "Killing Warrior"!
"Wait me a moment!"

Without any hesitation, Drake drew his sword and axe and charged forward, leaping up and using both weapons to block the Monk's iron pillar and Kira's scythe!

"Go ahead and cause trouble in the New World if you dare!" The overwhelming power immediately intimidated the two supernovas who were locked in fierce combat, and they dared not make any rash moves for a moment.

Urki picked up the iron pillar and recognized the man who had caused the trouble.

"You must be the fallen Major General Drake!"

"it's me."

Drake sheathed his sword and axe and turned to leave.

Shouts came from the side.

"I'm really enjoying watching it!"

Trafalgar Law, sitting on the wooden crate, asked with ill intent, "Drake, how many people have you killed?"

"."

Drake's gaze narrowed slightly.

Having also come from the North Sea, he naturally recognized Trafalgar Law, a man known for his cruelty.

However, it's not surprising to encounter anyone on this island. After all, what could be more terrifying than encountering a geological disaster?
"Hey kid, why did you suddenly leave me behind and go your own way?"

Good walked over and was taken aback when he saw Law standing to the side and Strange Monk and Kira facing off not far away.

He couldn't find anyone when he wanted to, but now they're all showing up in droves. Could it be that these supernovas are attracted to each other?

Luo, Urgi, Kira.

The three of them were shocked when they saw Goode.

Cold sweat slid down my cheeks.

"I never dreamed I would run into such an important person here."

"The legendary great pirate, Good, the vice-captain of the Beasts Pirates!"

Goode smiled and raised his hand in greeting.

"Hey, how are you all?"

"."

not good at all!

The three men were tense, fearing that Goode might suddenly make a move; they didn't want to confront such an important figure so soon.

"Haha, don't be so nervous. I'm just here for sightseeing. I'm not that interested in you newcomers."

Goode laughed heartily, his tone relaxed.

"After all, you are too weak."

"Crack!"

The veins on all three faces bulged simultaneously.

Too weak!

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that!"

Law stood up with an icy expression, a transparent circle appearing under his palm. Urouge and Kira also gripped their weapons tightly, ready to strike.

"Want to fight?"

Goode smiled slightly.

He actually wanted to recruit these supernovas, but he would wait until they had grown up.

He doesn't want to be a nanny.

At this stage, these supernovas are indeed very weak, a world apart from what they will be like two years from now. Letting them venture out on their own is the fastest way for them to grow.

Drake, Hawkins, Abo, Capone Bege, and the other Supernovas who joined the Four Emperors haven't fared very well; their strength is only average.

Those Supernovas who didn't join later became incredibly arrogant; even Urouge, who had the lowest bounty, defeated a Sweet Commander with a bounty of 6 million.

A significant gap!
As for Drake, that kid had already been in the New World, and he was used to train Drake's troops; his combat strength was secondary.

The three supernovas surrounded Goode, but his subordinates panicked first, desperately trying to hold onto their captain.

"Captain, don't be impulsive! We still need to get to the human auction house!"

"Brother Kira, Captain Kidd is waiting for us to come back!"

"Lord Sengzheng, calm down!"

Kira hesitated, but Law and Urouge remained unmoved. Being mocked was one thing, but they also wanted to see the power of a big shot.

"It's a common problem for newcomers, never mind."

Goode stretched.

Let's just play along with them.

Thirty seconds later.

Luo, Kira, Urki.

The three men were stuck upside down in the ground, arranged neatly from low to high, and they couldn't even hold on for a single round.

"captain!!!"

His subordinates were stunned.

The battle ended too quickly; they didn't even have time to see it clearly. All they knew was that in a flash, the captain had plunged into the ground.

How terrible!
