One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 309 The Mouse Meets the Cat

Deep in the Devil's Triangle.

"Chirp!"

A glowing fox spirit hovers over the sea.

As the Godora approached, a massive wall appeared in front of it. In this deserted place, there was only one thing behind the wall.

"found it!"

"The world's largest pirate ship, the Thriller Bark, is more like a floating island than a ship."

Goode sighed.

"Brother Yixiao, could you do me a favor?"

"."

Fujitora remained silent for a few seconds, then drew his sword.

The Gudora took flight, soaring through the sky, leaping over the walls, and entering the inner waterways of the Dreadnought.

The login process went very smoothly.

Goode led his men into the island, all of them excited, treating this trip as an adventure.

With Lord Goode around, it's so safe.

"What a mess!"

Perhaps because of the Straw Hat crew, the island was a mess. After walking for half an hour, we didn't see a single zombie, or even a creature that could move.

I wonder if Moria has returned yet.

Goode agreed with Fujitora's idea of ​​abolishing the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, believing that weakening the enemy would strengthen one's own side.

But rather than arresting them, he prefers to win over the Seven Warlords of the Sea, especially law-abiding ones like Jinbe and Mihawk.

Furthermore, in the areas controlled by Hoenn, the definition of pirates needs to be redefined. He does not oppose people going out to sea for adventures; as long as they do not do evil, going out to sea for adventures is not a bad thing.

Given the current level of development in this world, there are still many undiscovered islands and numerous strange and wonderful places.

These all require adventurers to explore.

There was another thing on his mind: once he raised the entire continent, it would mean endless resources to explore and develop!
That day is coming.

"Negative~ negative~ negative~~"

When the group arrived at the badly damaged castle, they finally encountered something that could move.

Several transparent ghosts.

Goode pointed to the mischievous little guy who was pulling at his eyelids in mockery.

"Priest, can you catch them?"

"no problem!"

The priest nodded confidently, and nine tails suddenly burst out from behind him, while several balls of green will-o'-the-wisp ignited around him.

She's a pro at dealing with ghosts!

The priest threw out the talisman and clasped his hands together while chanting a spell.

"By imperial decree! The Lingbao Talisman commands the slaying of demons and the binding of evil!"

The talisman flew into the sky, radiating golden light. The little ghosts seemed to be drawn in, fleeing in terror, but they could not escape the talisman's attraction.

Soon, all the ghosts were sealed into the talisman.

"It's done!"

The palace official looked extremely relaxed.

Good shook his head in pity.

The restraint between abilities can sometimes be so unreasonable, a negative specter that seems almost unsolvable, even when faced with exorcisms, it has to give up.

It's like a mouse encountering a cat.

Inside the island castle.

"Hah ah ah ah, Absalom should have caught the intruder by now. When Lord Moria returns, we can give him the intruder's shadow!"

Perona covered her mouth and chuckled, then suddenly a thought struck her.

"what happened?"

Communication with the negative spirits has been lost!
The negative spirits were created by her, essentially her soul clones, but at this moment she could not sense their location, only knowing that they were still alive.

This is the first time this has happened!
"What happened?"

Perona immediately flew out of the castle and rushed towards the place where the incident occurred. Now she no longer needed her soul to leave her body; she could directly transform her body into a ghost.

Perona arrived at the scene quickly.

In the courtyard, Goode stepped on Absalom's head: "What an idiot! If I were killed by an invisible man, where would I put my face?"

"I'm sorry, please forgive me!" Absalom pleaded decisively.

As usual, he used his invisibility ability to quietly approach the intruder, preparing to catch him off guard.

But they were discovered as soon as they tried to attack.

This invading enemy is even more terrifying than the Straw Hat crew!
Goode snorted and looked up at the ghostly girl floating in the air.

Where is Moriah?

"Lord Moria has answered the World Government's call and is on his way back, which is expected to take another two or three days."

Perona only realized what she had said after answering, and angrily clenched her little fists: "Damn it, why did I tell you all this? What is your purpose in coming here?!"

"Just passing by."

Goode shrugged.

If it's only two or three days, then I can wait.

The navy is probably searching for him frantically, and once he leaves the Devil's Triangle, he will likely be pursued by warships.

Let's rest for a few days and then talk about it.

"Are you the only few left here?"

"I'm not telling you!"

Perona, enraged, summoned a ghost and said in a threatening tone, "Release Absalom, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Young lady, you'd better not act impulsively."

Goode shook his head.

The priest immediately stepped forward, his nine fluffy tails unfurled, a strange light gleaming in his eyes, and demonic flames flickering within them.

The mere sight of her made Perona feel threatened as if she were facing a natural enemy, and the emerald green demonic flames also made her feel dangerous.

What a scary fox!

"Okay, don't scare her."

Goode pressed down on the chieftain's head and walked into the castle: "Is there a clean place? I plan to stay here for two days until Moria returns so I can discuss something with him."

"Have!"

Perona immediately backed down.

Intuition told her that it was better not to compare herself to this group; the last time she had this feeling was when she was facing a giant bear that had sent her flying.

Let's talk about it when Lord Moria returns!

"Absalom, get up!"

"Gah!"

Absalom got up from the ground and obediently followed behind.

He recognized who it was!
"Earth God" Goode!
A figure a hundred times more terrifying than Lord Moria!
In the vast castle, only three officers and dozens of zombies remain, barely managing to keep the island running.

Moria lost all his shadows after being defeated by the Straw Hat crew, and then suffered repeated setbacks in the Marineford War, culminating in this forced conscription.

There's no time to even accumulate shadows.

Goode arrived at the castle hall and looked at the three honest and unassuming cadres in front of him. Besides Absalom and Perona, there was also a doctor named Hogback.

"By the way, has any ancient giant named Loki ever been here?"

"Loki?!"

The three of them shuddered, and fear filled their eyes.

“He came here a long time ago, caused a huge disturbance on the island, and then left for some unknown reason.”

"Have you left?"

Goode nodded slightly.

The biggest reward for collaborating with Loki was the discovery of Lola's whereabouts, the woman he broke off his engagement with, who was on this island at the time.

I wonder if Loki has found Lola. We haven't heard anything from Loki in the last two years. For giants with long lifespans, a fight can last for a hundred years. Two years is a very short time. Maybe he's on his honeymoon somewhere.

True love prevails in the end!

The outer area of ​​the Devil's Triangle.

"Rescue the Knights of God?"

On the naval warship, Moria and Hawkeye sat in the cabin lounge, receiving a new order from the World Government: to head to the Devil's Triangle to find the Groudon and rescue Jun.

The Devil's Triangle is Moria's territory, and the Navy immediately thought of Moria, as only Moria could possibly find the Groudon in the dense fog.

As for Hawkeye, it was just a side effect.

With the war against the Cross Guild over, the two Shichibukai returned together on a warship, naturally not wanting to waste Hawkeye's formidable fighting power.

After all, the enemy is "Earth God" Goode!
