One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 30 Accept it, be a dog

Hot spring resort, lounge.

"Lord Goode, is that enough force?"

"Push harder."

Goode lay shirtless on the bed, enjoying the massage from Butterfly, and asked comfortably with his eyes half-closed.

How has business been at the store lately?

"There are just too many customers. The appointments are booked up for half a month in advance. Now the ladies are exhausted and their bodies ache every day."

The butterfly instinctively started to play the victim.

Massage is no easy job. Compared to the past when you just had to spread your legs, now you really have to earn money with your strength.

Very hard work.

However, the compensation is also ridiculously high!

The store operates on a performance-based system, where the technicians receive a percentage of the customer's spending.

Because their clients are all wealthy and powerful, and their spending is quite extravagant, their wages are several times, or even more than ten times, higher than when they were prostitutes.

In just one month, he earned the money he had worked hard for in a year.

"Although the sisters work hard, they all work very diligently."

As she spoke, Cai Die's eyes reddened considerably: "We lowly women never imagined we would have a day of dignity, and we are all grateful to you, sir."

"Ah."

Goode nodded slightly.

The fates of courtesans are generally tragic. They are usually eliminated before they turn thirty. The better ones can serve newcomers and make a living, while the worse ones die young from occupational diseases.

Meeting him, this benefactor, can truly be described as defying fate.

Has Kyoshiro contacted you?

"This"

The butterfly hesitated for a moment.

"understood."

Good waved his hand.

There are fewer than a thousand courtesans in the entire pleasure quarters, and he has already stolen so many of them, all of them top-class courtesans. No wonder Kuang Si Lang is anxious.

After all, on the surface, it seemed he had no intention of returning it.

“Tell the women in the shop that if they want to stay, I can buy their freedom, and they can pay me back slowly. They can also mention any other difficulties they may have.”

"Ah, thank you, sir!"

Butterfly's body trembled with excitement.

Redeeming oneself from bondage is no small sum.

With the adults' promise, the sisters could finally relax.

"grown ups."

Butterfly's voice trembled, her eyes shimmering with tears. She raised her hand to unbutton her clothes, leaned forward, and pressed her soft breasts against Goode's back.

"Let me serve you."

"."

Good sighed helplessly.

Everyone says men seduce women, so why do these women go to such lengths to seduce him? Do they really think he doesn't have any needs in the male sphere?
That's it.

He's not a gentleman.

This calamity was destined to befall me!
Two hours later
Four penniless guests arrived at the hot spring resort.

"Gango, are we really going in?"

Looking at the luxurious environment inside the store and the disdainful glances coming from all around, the four gang leaders hesitated at the door.

As the most popular leisure spot in Flower City, the money spent here in one day is enough for them to eat and drink well for half a year. How can they not be hesitant?

"What's there to be afraid of? Don't let the pirates look down on us!"

Gangorou's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Three days ago, they received another invitation.

Unlike last time, this invitation did not specify anything; the invitation simply stated that they wanted to have a chat.

But the fewer the words, the bigger the issue often is.

They were understandably uneasy, but they had no choice but to go ahead with the appointment, otherwise who knew what the pirates might do.

At least for now, it's all out in the open. No matter what you're looking for, there's still some room for negotiation.

"Shh~ shh~~"

Tsunagoro turned his head to look at Omasa, who was stomping on the sand and gravel. Ringo's Cho and Nozomi's Mitahei also looked over.

"Dazheng, what are you doing?"

"I'll wipe the soles of my shoes."

Of the four, Osaka was the most physically imposing and the most ruthless in dealing with enemies, earning him the nickname "Blood Letter" Osaka.

But at that moment he was polishing shoes.

"I can't afford to pay for the carpet if I get it dirty."

"."

The three of them looked at each other.

That makes perfect sense!

"Swish~ Swish~~"

After wiping their shoes clean, the four gang leaders strode into the shop with their chests puffed out, and the female technicians who greeted them immediately came forward. The technicians smiled and said, "You are gang leaders from various villages, right? Master Goode has already given instructions. Please follow me, four leaders."

"Uh, okay."

The four followed behind the female technician.

The three men couldn't help but look at the round, perky buttocks wrapped in the cheongsam, and the snow-white thighs that were faintly visible under the high slit, and they subconsciously swallowed.

This girl is so alluring!

The only woman, Ah Die, was also attracted by the technician's cheongsam, her eyes revealing a hint of longing and envy.

"This dress is so beautiful, and the fabric looks so soft. It must be worth a lot of money. I really want to try it on."

Soon, the four of them arrived at the reception room.

The technician smiled and opened the door for the four of them, then turned and invited, "Gentlemen, please come in. Lord Goode is inside."

"Ah, cough cough, um!"

The group of people, feeling guilty, avoided the technician's amused gaze and pretended not to care as they entered the reception room.

Indoors, by the window.

Goode turned around and walked towards the sofa area.

"sit down."

"."

The four exchanged a knowing glance, sat down opposite Goode, and looked at the man in front of them, their hearts filled with murderous intent.

The last time they met, they witnessed Goode kill two hundred Kozuki warriors, including some of their friends.

Despite being filled with anger, there was nothing they could do.

The moment the Kozuki Samurai appeared, their fate was sealed; any attempt to help would only increase casualties.

Good crossed his legs and leisurely surveyed the four people.

"Hakumai's Broken-Cassage Goro, Suzuko's Yugao Acho, Nozomi's Snake-Eyes Yataihei, and Usagi's Blood-Written Omasa, are they all right?"

"It's us."

The four responded in deep voices.

Now that we're here, we have to act like a gang leader and not let them look down on us.

"very good."

Goode took out four documents and a large bag of money and placed them on the table.

"See? If there are no problems, put your handprint on."

"This is."

The four men picked up the documents and began to read them, their expressions gradually turning grim.

It is an employment contract.

Moreover, it's a contract that's practically slaving oneself into servitude!

"Oh!"

Daisei slammed his fist on the table, glaring angrily at Goode: "Pirates, you want us to be your dogs!"

"Yes, that's about the same idea."

Goode nodded slightly.

"Also, go easy on me. This table is made of precious wood and is worth a hundred gold coins. You can't afford to pay for it if you break it."

"What? 100 gold!"

Startled, Daisei quickly withdrew his fist.

He really can't afford to pay the compensation!
The other three also looked furious, but they were relatively restrained, or rather, they didn't dare to turn against each other, since they were on the other side's turf.

Ah Die pushed the contract and the money back together.

“Mr. Goode, we will never sign this employment contract. Don’t think you can buy us off with money!”

"Bribery? You must have misunderstood."

Goode pointed to the money on the table.

“This money is for you to get a decent set of clothes. Look at your shabby appearance, covered in patches. It’s embarrassing to even take you out in public.”

"."

The four of them blushed.

Humiliation, blatant humiliation!
They are indeed very poor, but they wouldn't care about the other party's charity!

The four men stood up indignantly.

"let's go!"

"Want to leave?"

Goode calmly looked at the four of them.

"Would you like to hear my terms?"

"Mr. Goode, no matter what conditions you offer, we will never agree to them, much less become dogs for pirates!"

Suppressing their anger, the four turned and headed towards the door, but when they heard the words behind them, they froze on the spot.

The four of them looked at Goode with horrified expressions.

"What did you say?"

"Didn't you hear me? Then I'll repeat myself. Listen carefully, my conditions are—"

Goode lit a cigar and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Hyōgoro the Flower's Fate!"
