One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 310 I'm here to introduce you to jobs

The next day, at the terrifying castle.

"Lord Moria is back!"

When the cadres received Moria's call, they were overjoyed and went to the port to greet him. In the past two days, they had experienced firsthand what it was like to be servants.

Perona, who could fly, was the fastest of the three and was the first to arrive at the port, happily rushing towards Moria.

"Lord Moria!"

She was adopted by Moria when she was very young. To her, Moria was not only the captain, but also like a parent.

When the girl saw Hawkeye returning with Moria, she froze for a moment before tripping and falling flat on her face.

"You! How did you get here!"

Perona jumped up quickly, looking at Hawkeye in disbelief, when a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

Is this guy here to see her?
Are you worried about her?

Tears welled up in the girl's eyes.

Oh my god, so gentle!
Hawkeye frowned and explained impatiently, "I just received a mission to come to this area to find someone. It has nothing to do with you."

"."

Perona was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage.

Damn it, give me back my gratitude!
“Hahahaha!”

A sharp laugh echoed.

Moria looked down at Perona, grinned, and asked, "Perona, have you spotted any other ships in the last few days?"

"Have!"

Perona nodded vigorously.

She was in charge of reconnaissance, and many ships that entered the Devil's Triangle waters would be targeted by her ghost.

"Lord Moria, the Earth God Good is on the island right now!"

"what?!"

Moria was taken aback.

Hawkeye couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Their mission was to find Goode, but they never expected him to come to the island. Their luck was just too good.

"Hehehe, Spalashi!"

Moriah opened his arms and laughed.

Besides the mission assigned by the World Government, he also had a grudge against Goode, or rather, against the pirate crew to which Goode belonged!
Let's go meet them first!
"Let's go!"

Moria and Hawkeye boarded the carriage.

Both had their own plans and neither intended to contact the navy.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the castle.

The eerie castle hall.

"Are you coming?"

Goode sat in the main seat and looked up at Hawkeye, who had arrived with Moria, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Why is this guy here too?

"Did the World Government send you to find me?"

"Hehehe, you know perfectly well!"

Moria responded with a cold laugh.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea do not get along well with each other. Apart from orders from the World Government, there are not many opportunities for you to get together."

Goode shrugged.

"However, I advise you to give up that idea. I didn't come here to fight with you."

"."

Moria's eyes were ferocious.

During the Marineford War, he witnessed Goode's power firsthand, and even so, he still wanted to test his skills against Goode.

There is a balance between abilities, and he has extensive experience dealing with slow-moving, large targets.

The Shadow Mage rose from behind.

“Hahahaha!”

Moria laughed loudly and turned to look at Fujitora sitting on the other side.

"Admiral Fujitora of the Marine Headquarters, I didn't expect to see you here. Did the Navy send you to arrest this man?"

"I have already retired from the navy."

Fujitora shook his head slightly: "Now I am a member of the Hoenn Navy, and theoretically, I am a subordinate of Commander-in-Chief Goode."

"."

Moria was taken aback.

This scene seems familiar. A year ago, Admiral Aokiji also left the Navy and joined Hoenn, and now serves as the Fleet Admiral of the Hoenn Navy.

Trouble!
He wasn't arrogant enough to face two powerful figures alone, and even with Hawkeye's help, the outcome probably wouldn't be good.

"Don't be so nervous, sit down and let's talk."

Goode extended his hand in invitation and said softly, "Or you could contact the World Government and have them send an admiral over. The two of you alone cannot take me down."

"."

Moria and Hawkeye's expressions turned cold.

I was underestimated!

However, the two still sat down.

Let's discuss any issues after we've finished talking. We're all people of status; we can't just fight like brutes on the spot.

Goode nodded slightly and asked, "I haven't been receiving any outside information these past few days. How is the battle between you and the Cross Guild going?"

"no result."

This time, it was Hawkeye who answered.

In the end, neither side could completely defeat the other, and if the fighting continued, very few people would survive.

Furthermore, when he saw his own clone, he realized something was wrong, and the battle with Crocodile ended there.

After joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he underwent a full physical examination in accordance with the treaty, but he never expected that the World Government would use them as a template to create powerful humanoid weapons.

Seraph!
Moreover, the Seraphim's formidable fighting power during the war was in no way inferior to that of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Hawkeye sensed a threat.

Perhaps, as Crocodile said, the World Government wants to use Seraphim to replace their position as the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Hawkeye took out a newspaper and handed it to Goode.

"See for yourself."

"Thank you."

Goode took the newspaper and raised an eyebrow.

[Pacifista - Seraphim!]

The news report described the severe blow the World Government had dealt to the Cross Guild and detailed the Seraphim's formidable power.

Reading the whole thing, it feels more like a promotional video for Seraph.

Governments around the world do need to come up with some reassuring gimmicks to stabilize public sentiment.

Once news of Fujitora joining the Hoenn Navy spreads, the World Government and the Navy will face a new test of their resolve.

Good put down the newspaper.

"Since you two are both here, I'll be frank. I'm here to persuade you to give up your positions as Shichibukai."

"Give up the position?"

Moria and Hawkeye exchanged a glance.

The title of Shichibukai (Seven Warlords of the Sea) brought them many benefits, including permission to legally plunder and, most importantly, protection from being hunted down by the Navy.

We cannot give up so easily.

“Hahahaha!”

Moriah's face was contorted with rage.

Do you think we'll agree to that?

"will not."

Goode shook his head, his gaze dangerous.

"Moria, and Hawkeye, Fujitora and I originally planned to capture you directly. At that time, the World Government would have no choice but to abandon you, and the Shichibukai system would become a mere formality."

"However, I want to give you a choice. Rather than losing face and being forcibly taken away, it's better to cooperate amicably."

"As long as you resign from your Shichibukai titles, I can introduce you to new jobs. I can't say much else, but at least you'll be much freer than when you were Shichibukai, and no one will force you to do anything."

Goode chuckled and crossed his legs.

"How about it?"

"."

The veins on Moria's neck bulged, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot.

Naked contempt!

Hawkeye's gaze was cold and sharp.

He understood what Goode meant: the other party wanted to abolish the Seven Warlords system, and they, as the Seven Warlords, were just being affected.

The same situation applies to the other Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Furthermore, the choice given by the other party is essentially an act of taking sides: whether to continue standing with the World Government or to join the Hoenn camp.

However, this domineering attitude made him very dissatisfied!
"Qiang!"

Hawkeye drew his black sword, "Night."

Let him experience the strength of the new "strongest man in the world" who succeeded Whitebeard!
