One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 302 What Goode Fears!
On the battlefield, Junzi quickly jumped back to create distance, his gaze falling on his severed wrist, and his heart sank.

"Cannot be regenerated!"

She could feel the lingering domineering aura of Goode at the break point, which brought her intense pain. Only by removing this domineering aura could her wrist regenerate.

"Saint Somaz, Saint Qilingom, that guy can hurt us, be careful!"

"what?!"

The two were shocked to hear this, but they had already rushed in front of Goode, and it was too late to retreat.

We have no choice but to attack!

Somaz Saint leaped up, wielding his massive thorny mace, and swept it with all his might toward Goode's head.

"Jing·Hunting!"

"This kind of attack... makes me so sleepy."

Goode turned his gaze away, and just as he was about to raise his hand to grab the spiked club, drowsiness washed over him, and halos of light enveloped his head.

"Entangled in dreams!"

It's the ability of the Qilin people!
Goode tilted his head back and drifted off to sleep in his drowsiness. Just as a snot bubble appeared on his nose, he was hit on the head with a stick.

"Tick!"

The spiked club detached from Goode's head, its sharp points dripping blood continuously.

"Tch ha ha, not that strong!"

Somaz laughed triumphantly and summoned thorns to bind Goode.

He was almost scared, but he succeeded so easily. Now the other party can no longer move easily.

Goode tilted his head back and remained motionless.

Saint Somaz was somewhat puzzled.

"Did I hit him too hard and knock him unconscious?"

“zzZ～～”

Along with snot bubbles, a string of symbols floated above Goode's head, clearly still dreaming and not awakened by the attack.

Somaz Saint's face stiffened.

He withstood his full-force attack, yet he didn't wake up?
What a joke!

"Saint Qilingom, your hypnotic effect has gone too far this time!"

"I didn't hypnotize him too deeply; he just didn't want to wake up!"

Chiringom Saint quickly explained.

Although it's hard to explain, Goode was indeed lost in a beautiful dream at that moment, and he himself didn't want to wake up.

"Eh?!"

Somaz Saint was stunned.

What do you mean?
If it wasn't the power of the Holy Knight of Qilingom, then wouldn't that mean his full-force attack didn't make the opponent feel any danger?

But they're all bleeding!

"I'll try!"

As the Holy Spirit of Chiringom extended his palm, the color of the dream halo immediately changed, from white, representing a beautiful dream, to deep red, representing a nightmare.

"Fear awakens!"

Everyone has things they fear deep down, and the man in front of you is no exception. By making those fears a reality, you can plunge him into the deepest level of fear, thereby causing him to lose his fighting spirit.

I don't know what the other person's fear is!
As the dream shifts, dilapidated houses appear on the battlefield, gradually forming a vast ruined city.

"Crack!"

In the city center, a sign reading "Hoenn" on a building broke in two, and the building itself was engulfed in flames.

A destroyed city ruin!

"What's this?"

Chiringom Saint was stunned.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a bizarre dream. Could this scene be what Goode feared?

"Hey, reptile."

A chilling voice came from behind.

Qilingom Saint's entire body stiffened, as if frozen, and he turned his head with difficulty, where a pair of eyes appeared in his line of sight.

Scarlet Eyes!

You ruined my sweet dream!

A red light appeared in Goode's eyes.

He just dreamt that he was standing in the penthouse suite of the Groudon Industrial Complex, overlooking the industrial marvel he had created. A modern, international metropolis!
The beeping sound kept ringing in his ears, each beep representing a payment of rent or tax.

Everything in this modern city belongs to him alone; everyone is his employee and tenant.

And he was like a god!
Even knowing it was a dream, he was so engrossed in it that he didn't want to wake up.

This is a rare treat!

But this wonderful experience was quickly and ruthlessly destroyed. The dream's style suddenly changed, and the entire city turned an eerie red, followed by flames.

The moment his Groudon was engulfed in flames.

"Do not!!!"

It hurts, it hurts too much!
Goode's heart was filled with pain, and the flames of revenge burned fiercely.

The dream has ended!

"It made me lose everything!"

Goode's eyes were bloodshot as he locked onto the Qilin man, leaning forward with arcs of electricity crackling around his legs.

Losing his property was the one thing he couldn't bear, but this bastard not only destroyed his property in his dream, but also materialized the ruins of the destroyed city, breaking his heart once again.

Unforgivable!

"Are you ready?!"

"."

Chiringom was sweating profusely, feeling the threat of death from a mortal for the first time, and his legs involuntarily retreated.

"Ok?"

Just as Goode was about to make a move, transparent thorns appeared around his body, their sharp spikes piercing his flesh.

"This kind of thing!"

Dark, domineering lightning descended from the sky!

"Crack!"

All the thorns shattered!
"How can it be!"

Somaz Saint's eyes bulged in shock.

His thorns were forcibly destroyed; just how strong was that guy's domineering aura?
Good exhaled a wave of heat, and like a demon, he leaned forward again to gather strength, his thigh muscles bulging to twice their size!
"Surprise Attack - Massive Destruction!"

"boom!"

The ground behind them exploded layer by layer!
Goode charged out in a frenzy, like a bolt of lightning traversing the battlefield!
"So fast!"

Qilingom Saint's vision went black as Goode appeared before him, his powerful burst of speed leaving him no time to react.

"Bang!!!"

Its head flew into the sky!!!
"What's going on? The sky is spinning?!"

The scene in Qilingom's eyes spun rapidly, and it took him a long time to realize that he was now decapitated.

Below, on the ground, only his arm holding the trident remained; the rest of his body had been smashed to pieces!

"Snapped!"

My head was grabbed by a large hand!
"boom!"

Goode descended from the sky and landed in front of Saint Somaz, holding the only remaining head of the Qilin man in his hand.

This guy isn't dead yet.

But under the corrosive influence of the domineering aura, he was left with only his head, unable to regenerate his body or put up any resistance.

The intense pain made him howl in agony.

"Saint Somaz, save me!"

"hateful!"

Somaz Saint's face was ferocious as he raised his hands toward Goode, and a large number of thorns grew from behind him, piercing Goode. Countless sharp thorns also grew from the ground!

"Thorn Hunt - Crimson Lotus Hell!"

Goode arched his body, adopting a bowling stance, and just before the thorns surrounded him, he threw out the head of the Kirin Man, which was wrapped in Conqueror's Haki!
"Kirin - Ultimate Bowling Kill!!!"

"Oh!"

The air exploded into a ring of shockwaves, and the Qilin's head instantly broke the sound barrier, passing through the gaps in the thorns and slamming into Somaz Saint's chest with an astonishing shockwave!
"Bang!!!"

With another deafening roar, a bloody hole exploded in Somaz Saint's chest!
"Ooooooooooooo!!!"

Screams echoed across the battlefield!
Goode approached Somaz Saint and stomped on Somaz's head, burying it in the dirt!

"No matter what your immortality is all about, it can't escape the category of Devil Fruit abilities, so I can suppress you with Conqueror's Haki."

"In this world, only domineering power reigns supreme!"
