One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 242 The war is over!

The naval headquarters was mostly sunk, with only the main buildings of the fortress remaining on the sea surface. The navy was densely packed and people were constantly falling into the sea.

In the center of the battlefield, Good, transformed into Groudon, had his lower body submerged in seawater, laughing wildly as he faced the onslaught of numerous powerful opponents.

He knew very well how much the World Government and the Navy wanted to capture him; with Whitebeard dead, he was naturally the next target.

Therefore, he had already prepared a backup plan.

"Cowardly navy, make your choice!"

"To end this war, or to continue fighting me to the death!"

"Hehehehe!!!"

The Warring States period was ashen-faced.

"Kaido!"

The main force of the Beasts has boarded the large bubble elevator and is heading to headquarters. Even if the cable is cut at the Holy Land, Kaido can still use his flame cloud to lift the bubble elevator to the Holy Land.

He knew very well that Kaido's attack was just a feint, but even so, the safety of the Holy Land was still the top priority, more important than anything else.

A feint attack can turn into a real war.

If Kaido were to invade the Holy Land, the consequences would be unimaginable!

The Navy had no other choice!

The Warring States period clenched his fists and roared angrily.

"Stop attacking!"

"The war is over!!!"

With the announcement by the Warring States period, the war officially came to an end.

The Marine Headquarters won the war against the Whitebeard Pirates, but the conflict with the Groudon Company ended badly.

Most of the naval headquarters sank into the sea.

The seas celebrated the naval victory, but also harbored deep concerns.

Groudon Company!
This mysterious organization, which suddenly joined the war midway, has demonstrated terrifying power, especially its chairman, Goode!
Despite being besieged by numerous powerful figures, they held their own for a short period and even caused irreparable damage to the Marine Headquarters.

A few days later, the new world.

Sphinx Island, the homeland of Whitebeard.

After several days of treatment, Ace finally succumbed to his injuries and died with a smile in the company of his captains, and was buried on the cliff with Whitebeard.

Goode placed flowers in front of the tombstone.

Marco became depressed.

"Good, if it weren't for you, we would all probably have died at Marine Headquarters, and we wouldn't have been able to get our father's body back. And about Blackbeard, I really don't know how to thank you enough."

"No need for thanks."

Goode turned and looked down.

The pirates were all wounded, their eyes dull and lifeless; with such low morale, they clearly wouldn't go far.

"Marco, you should start thinking about the future of the Whitebeard Pirates."

"."

Marco remained silent.

He knew better than anyone that without his father, their territory would soon descend into bloodshed.

Even if they were still alive, they could not deter the thirsty pirates.

The Whitebeard Pirates are now defunct.

Seeing his dejected companions, Marco didn't know what to do. The captains, like Whiteybe, were alright; they had their own lives to live.

But what will they do?

Is he going to inherit the captain's position?

Marco sighed. He didn't have that idea, nor did he think he could lead the Whitebeard Pirates well.

Also, he felt tired.

At this moment, all he wants is to go home and be with his wife and children.

"Marco."

Goode gazed at the village below the mountain and calmly asked, "I intend to plant the banner of the beasts on this island, is that alright?"

"Good, you..."

Marco was deeply moved.

Sphinx Island is just a poor island, and there's no benefit in occupying it. Now that Whitebeard's flag has lost its deterrent power, Goode clearly wants to lend them his flag to protect his father's homeland.

Marco was extremely grateful.

"Thank you, Goode!"

"I'll accept your thanks this time," Goode nodded with a smile.

"Without Whitebeard, the New World will soon descend into chaos, and you and the other captains will be in extremely dangerous situations."

"To be honest, I can see the future of the Whitebeard Pirates, and I think you know that too."

"Ah."

Marco sighed inwardly.

Of course he knows.

They came together because of their father, and they will be separated when he passes away; it's only a matter of time.

Goode said with a smile.

"Marco, I have a suggestion!"

"Good."

Marco gave a wry smile.

"Forget about getting on the ship, I'm already exhausted."

"Haha, that's not it."

Goode smiled and shook his head.

"I want you to be the regional manager for our Groudon Company's Beehive Island region, and to manage the Fengyuan community for me."

"what?"

Marco paused for a moment.

He never expected Goode's suggestion to be like this.

Goode sincerely said, "Not only you, but other captains can also work for my company if they are willing, just as a backup plan."

"If you don't become pirates in the future, you'll eventually have to return to normal life. My Fengyuan Community is the most suitable place in the New World where you can live peacefully."

"Indeed."

Marco was tempted.

He's not alone now; he has a wife and children at home. Once he stops being a pirate, he'll have to find a job to support his family.

After much thought, there seems to be no better option than staying in the Hoenn community, and Sasha will definitely give her full support.

The same applies to the other team leaders.

Having drifted at sea for decades, everyone was tired of wandering, as evidenced when they first moved into the Hoenn community on Beehive Island.

Now that their father has passed away, it is the most difficult time for them, and Goode's suggestion is undoubtedly a timely help.

At least in his view, nothing could be better than this arrangement, and he hopes to live a peaceful life with his family for the rest of his life.

Marco quickly made up his mind.

“Good, I’ll talk to them.”

"Okay, but don't force yourself. Just contact me when you've thought it through."

Goode's smile blossomed.

"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"See you!"

Soon, Groudon's fleet left the port.

Inside the operations conference room, all the officers were gathered.

Goode looked around.

"Is everything arranged?"

"Ok!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Next, Whitebeard's territory will face a major reshuffle, and the beasts will naturally want a share, especially some important islands.

For example, Beehive Island and Fishman Island!
Occupy the main resource islands, and discard the rest of the poorer islands, leaving the rest for other factions to skim off.

The construction of the Hoenn community cannot be stopped either. Once a Hoenn community is built in all of Whitebeard's territory, his concession layout will be completed.

At that time, apart from a few special islands such as Eghardt, there will be Beasts and Groudon Company strongholds everywhere in the New World, and no movement will escape his eyes.

Jiejiejie~~
"Then take action!"

"Yes, Lord Goode!"

The fleet dispersed.

Groudon changed course and headed towards Fishman Island; there were still many things at the park that needed his attention.

The effects of the war are only just beginning!
