One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 26 Your Brother-in-Law is Still Your Brother-in-Law
Pokémon generally have three growth stages. For example, the original starter Pokémon Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard correspond to the baby, youth, and adult stages, respectively.

Inside Goode's body, Groudon, who had eaten ten artificial Devil Fruits, had completed its first transformation, growing much larger and its hard carapace covering its entire body gleaming.

Baby Groudon!

"Waaaah! (Fight! Fight!)"

Groudon spread its arms wide, barking triumphantly, and gradually began to display the aura of a land overlord.

Behind Ghost Island, a battlefield.

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Goode clenched his fists and roared, as power surged from his body, and his skin gradually crystallized.

Head, waist, limbs
When the transformation was complete, Goode was dressed as if he were wearing a set of scarlet armor, and his wild appearance was astonishing.

Transformation - Lightweight!
Kamen Rider Goode is here!

In the distance, Page Van's eyes widened in shock.

"What a cool transformation!"

"Wait, is this Goode?"

"Is Goode a power user?"

Having known him for so many years, he had no idea that Goode was also a Devil Fruit user, and he felt like he had been deceived by his best friend.

Wait, could it be smlie?

Thinking that Goode had eaten so many artificial Devil Fruits and might have awakened his abilities as a result, Page One couldn't help but shout "Holy crap!" in his mind.

That's incredibly lucky!
"So what if I've awakened my abilities? I'm the strongest Ancient Zoan type, I could never lose to a fake!"

"Roar!"

The Spinosaurus roared, its powerful legs straining as it charged towards Goode like a chariot.

"come yet."

Goode shifted his gaze slightly, fixing it on the Spinosaurus charging towards him from a hundred meters away. He made no attempt to avoid its sharp edge, instead laughing loudly as he went to meet it!

From walking to running!

The man and the dragon quickly approached!
When the distance closed to less than ten meters, Goode suddenly leaped up, his powerful explosive force propelling him into the air in an instant. His raised arms slammed down like warhammers!

"So fast!"

Peggy's eyes shifted upwards, but before he could react, his head suddenly sank, and his chin slammed into the ground!

"boom!!!"

Centered on the Spinosaurus, the earth within a radius of tens of meters was completely shattered, and countless rock fragments flew into the sky.

A massive amount of smoke and dust shot into the sky!

"Who possesses such immense power?!"

Inside the Skull Castle, the officers who were resting suddenly turned their attention to each other. Although they didn't know what had happened, they could feel the fluctuations that had just occurred.

Very strong!

"flutter!"

The sound of flapping wings echoed as the fiery pterosaur flew towards the battlefield!

The back mountain, at the center of a huge pit.

Page One reverted to human form, his trembling arms bracing against the ground as he tried to get up but failed several times.

"Tick! Tick!"

Fresh blood continued to drip onto the ground.

Don't push yourself too hard.

A familiar voice came to my ears.

asshole!

Peggy gripped the ground unwillingly.

As an ancient species, its greatest strength lies in its unimaginable resilience; it can get back up even when severely injured.

But he was defeated in one blow!
A similar situation had just occurred a little over a month ago, which was difficult for him to accept at the time, given his pride and arrogance.

"I said so."

Goode crouched down, poked Page Van, who was still trying to struggle, and said with amusement, "You're only 14 years old, and you're already very strong!"

"I'm 15 years old!"

Peggy Wan gritted her teeth and corrected him.

In most parts of the world, 15 is considered an adult, so he doesn't need Goode's sympathy.

"."

Goode was both amused and exasperated.

Is there any difference if we're only one year apart?

After a while, Page Van finally recovered somewhat. His injuries weren't serious; he had mainly suffered a heavy blow to the head, which caused him to lose control of his body for a moment.

"Next time, I will definitely win!"

"impossible."

Good grinned.

Give way a little? Yeah, right!
The Beasts Pirates are not a loving family; it's common for pirates to fight each other to rise in rank.

If you want to earn respect from others, you have to be more assertive. Being low-key and tolerant will only make people look down on you and make you more vulnerable to being bullied.

Besides, he will only get stronger!

Groudon is a true legendary Pokémon. In its original form, it can even create continents with its bare hands, making it even more powerful than top-tier Mythical Pokémon. Its only drawback is that it requires a massive amount of natural energy.

What are mere ancient species compared to this? "It's still not enough!"

Goode recalled the transformation he had just undergone.

Although it looks very cool, like it's wearing scarlet armor, most of its body is still in a human state, which is equivalent to the human-beast form of a Devil Fruit.

He prefers to be armed to the teeth!
Unfortunately, Groudon is too small and doesn't have enough power to transform into its final form. It's estimated that it will need to evolve again to complete its true Groudon form.

The problem is the little guy's appetite.

"Where am I supposed to find a Devil Fruit?"

Goode was quite troubled.

He learned from the little guy that the fastest way to make it evolve quickly was to draw on the power of nature.

Ideally, it would be caused by a meteorite tearing the earth apart, releasing a burst of natural energy that would allow it to rapidly evolve into its strongest, most primitive form, making it capable of creating continents with its bare hands.

But a disaster of that magnitude would destroy the world.

Ordinary food also possesses natural power, but the amount is too small. To evolve using only rice, it would take at least a year.

In this world, if there is anything that contains a large amount of natural power, it can only be the magical Devil Fruit.

The Smlie I ate before contained concentrated natural power, but it was a counterfeit and of very poor quality, only effective for Groudon infants.

After all, it is a true legendary Pokémon, and the energy required for its evolution is incomparable to that of ordinary Pokémon. However, each evolution also brings a tenfold or hundredfold increase in power, so it has both advantages and disadvantages.

"take it easy."

Goode stretched and stopped thinking about all that nonsense.

In just three or four months, he went from being a nobody to being able to compete with the Flying Six. Complaining now would be like him getting the better deal and then acting innocent.

"Someone's coming, let's go."

Figures kept appearing in the direction of the Skull Castle.

Goode took a few steps, turned back to look at Runti who was standing there in a daze, raised an eyebrow and said, "Runti, we should go back."

"Ah, oh!"

Runti then realized what was happening and quickly jogged to catch up with Goode, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at him.

Is this guy really Goode?

【impossible! Absolutely impossible! 】

My little brother Goode couldn't possibly be that amazing!

His thoughts were written all over his face.

After walking for a while, Runti appeared on Goode's left and right sides, secretly observing him. Runti felt like a cat was scratching at her heart.

They even forgot about their injured younger brother.

Finally, the girl couldn't help but ask casually, "Good, you seem to have gotten a lot stronger, haven't you?"

"I've been training lately, and I've definitely become much stronger."

Goode calmly admitted it.

Runti's heart skipped a beat.

Although she didn't know what was going on, her little brother had suddenly become much stronger. What if he surpassed her in the future? How would she be able to bully Goode then?
No, she needs to intensify her cultivation too!

The girl said one thing but meant another.

"Oh, then keep up the good work!"

"Thank you, I will definitely work even harder."

Goode nodded with a smile.

Hey, now you know how powerful he is.

"Ok?"

Goode's eyes darted around and he noticed Page Vane secretly poking him.

The two exchanged a knowing glance.

"Brother-in-law, I accept you!"

"Brother-in-law?"

"Yes, brother-in-law!"

"."

Goode glanced at Runti furtively, took a deep breath, and then glared fiercely at Page Van.

"I treated you like a younger brother, and this is how you repay kindness with enmity?"

"."

Peggy looked away guiltily, but thinking of the bright future without her sister tormenting her, she immediately glared back with a firm look.

"Stop pretending. Everyone knows you've liked my sister for years. From now on, you're my brother-in-law!"

"."

The president of a certain "Runti fan support group" fell silent.

Runti came over and looked at the way Gude and her younger brother were exchanging glances, a question mark appearing on her head.

"What are you doing?"

"none of your business!"

The two said in unison.

Men, get out of here!
