One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 37 I want them all!

The banquet hall fell silent.

The giant snake had eight heads, all with their eyes wide open.

"Yamato's fiancé?"

According to his plan, as long as he finds an excuse to kill Goode, who is in control of everything, Yamato alone will not be able to cause any trouble.

As for Kaido, he wouldn't turn against him for a single real fighter. He'll prepare more gifts and send them during the Fire Festival, and the matter will be over.

But the situation has changed.

If the kid in front of you is really Yamato's fiancé, then his status in the Beasts is definitely not that of an ordinary officer, and he must be Kaido's confidant.

The giant snake, caught in a dilemma, glared angrily at Goode.

"You are deceiving me!"

"cheat?"

Goode pulled Yamato tightly into his arms.

Yamato tilted his head in confusion, and it took him a while to understand what Goode meant. A strange image of marriage, having children, and finally settling on "a family of five" appeared in his mind.

Want to have a baby with Goode?
Smoke rose from the girl's head, and her eyes turned into mosquito coils. Having lived with prostitutes every day, she had long been aware of matters between men and women.

Facts speak louder than words.

Seeing the two of them being so intimate, the serpent's eyes turned bloodshot, and its already volatile emotions instantly turned into madness.

"Guaaaaah!"

Eight heads thrashed wildly, tearing at everything around them.

It caused quite a commotion.

The giant snake finally regained its composure, retracted all its heads back into its body, and transformed back into human form.

"Hehehe!"

The giant snake was panting heavily.

He could ask Kaido to verify this, but Kaido is very secretive about Yamato and never wants to mention it.

All he knew was that Yamato hadn't left Onigashima for over a decade and had been constantly challenging Kaido, making her a battle-obsessed fanatic.

Furthermore, the outside world is unaware of Yamato's existence. For such a trivial matter, risking being monitored by the Navy to contact Kaido would most likely anger that man.

However, something suddenly came to his mind!
He didn't know much about Yamato, but he knew everything about Goode!

Orochi's gaze darkened: "Good boy, I've heard that you have an ambiguous relationship with Shinji Junti. What's your explanation for that?"

"Runti? She's also my fiancée."

Goode spoke calmly.

Given Orochi's abilities, he would have already thoroughly investigated all the information about him. There's no point in hiding it; he might as well just admit it openly.

"what?"

The giant snake froze.

What does this mean?
What do you mean also?

"You bastard, you're playing me for a fool!"

"Of course I would not mock the general. What I mean is that Yamato and Runti are both my fiancées and my wings."

Goode smiled and raised his hands, slowly clenching them into fists.

"I want it all!"

"."

The giant snake opened its mouth wide in shock.

Want them all?
How can there be such a shameless person in this world!
Even he, a general, only planned to marry one general's wife in his life and never had any other thoughts.

Orochi, filled with grief and indignation, roared, "What a joke! How could Kaido possibly marry his daughter to a bastard like you!"

"What, am I not worthy?"

Goode pushed Yamato away from his arms, stood up and tugged at his collar: "I am a handsome man, skilled in both literature and martial arts. Yamato and I are mutually in love and are a match made in heaven. It is none of the business for outsiders to gossip."

A handsome and talented man?
The giant snake was dumbfounded.

Why don't you look in the mirror? With your fierce face, rugged muscles, and shiny bald head, standing next to Yamato, you'd be like Beauty and the Beast.

What kind of perfect match is this?!

"Lord Orochi."

At this moment, Fu Lu Shou came over and whispered in the snake's ear.

The snake's expression kept changing.

Fukurokuju learned from the masseuse at the hot spring resort that Yamato and Goode bathed together every night and had an extremely close relationship.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a night of revelry.

Their relationship is real! "Those two scoundrels!"

The giant snake cursed inwardly, but all the murderous intent on its face vanished, replaced by an extremely hypocritical smile.

It was as if nothing had just happened.

"Goo-ho-ho".

The giant snake raised its glass with a broad smile.

"I'm so sorry, Brother Goode. I was just joking. Yamato is my niece. I was worried that she might be deceived, so I tested her. Here, let me offer you a toast as an apology!"

"It's alright, General. You're just worried and confused."

Goode readily agreed, and with a smile, raised his glass in a toast.

It's not time to turn against him yet. With his and Yamato's combined strength, the chances of them killing Orochi in a short time are very low.

Orochi has an extremely strong ability to survive, equivalent to having eight lives. His subordinates, the Oniwabanshu and the Mima-gumi, together have a force of 10,000, and there is also Kyoshiro who can provide support at any time.

If they get bogged down, they can wear them down with a war of attrition. Yamato will probably be fine in the end, but he will definitely die.

Never take a risk without being absolutely certain.

He still needs a favorable wind!
The giant serpent downed the wine in one gulp, then glared angrily at the geisha beside him who was already terrified: "What are you all standing there for? Keep playing the music, keep dancing!"

"Yes, Lord Orochi."

As the shamisen was played, the banquet hall returned to its lively atmosphere.

After three rounds of drinking.

"Goo-ho-ho".

The serpent's cheeks were flushed from drinking, and he looked somewhat drunk. He chuckled and said, "Brother Goode, I understand your and Yamato's desire to make a name for yourselves, but building up White Dance is too slow to show results. It will probably take several years before we see any effect."

"Indeed."

Goode nodded slightly.

Buying a property to rent out can indeed take a very long time to recoup the costs.

But it's stable.

That's his favorite!
"Hehehe!"

The giant snake grinned, its eyes filled with malice: "By the time of the Fire Festival, Kaido will return from his expedition. If you want to make some achievements during this period, relying on Hakumai won't be enough. If you really want to give Kaido a big gift, I have a good place to go!"

"Oh, General, please speak!"

Upon hearing this, Goode straightened his back and pretended to be interested.

The giant snake slowly uttered a name.

"Asura boy!"

"."

Goode squinted.

"The bandit gang of Tou Shan in Jiuli?"

"Yes, it's them!"

The serpent's eyes were filled with gloom, and even with undisguised fear. He said hatefully, "Ashura Doji was once one of Kozuki Oden's retainers. After Kozuki Oden died, he changed his name to Shutenmaru and led a group of thieves to occupy Mount Kuritou."

"Now, that guy has long lost his samurai pride and specializes in robbing merchants traveling between villages, even some poor villages. He is a notorious villain."

"For so many years, Ashura Doji has been a major thorn in the side of both me and Kaido. If you can kill him, Kaido will be overjoyed, and I will reward you handsomely!"

The giant snake smiled sinisterly.

For so many years, he has wanted to kill Ashura Doji, but every time he has suffered heavy losses. That man is not easy to deal with!
If Gude and his companion could face off against Ashura Doji, it would benefit him regardless of who won or lost.

The giant snake stared at Goode, its eyes filled with intense killing intent.

"Good brothers, do you dare to do it?"

"Lord Orochi, you've really given me a tough challenge!"

Goode picked up his drink, took a swig, and quickly pondered the gains and losses.

Ashura Doji is certainly not easy to deal with, but if you can capture him, it will be extremely beneficial for you.

Most importantly, the other party was a retainer of Kozuki Oden.

Whether now or in the future.

They must all die!
"Oh!"

Goode slammed the bottle down on the table.

"It's just suppressing bandits!"

"Suppress!"
