One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 66 The Arrival of the Fire Sacrifice
The day of the fire ceremony was sunny and bright.

The villages were decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and people flocked to the streets with smiles on their faces, making it at least ten times more lively than the previous fire festival.

West bank of White Dance City, port.

In this newly built port, the huge general's ship is very eye-catching, surrounded by more than a dozen escort ships and ships of various daimyo.

The massive fleet is ready to set sail.

People from various villages spontaneously came to see him off on both sides of the river.

"General!"

"Bon Voyage!"

"Make sure you come back safely!"

The people bid farewell with tears in their eyes, their hearts filled with worry at the thought that General Yamato was going to the terrifying Oni Island.

We've only had two good days, let's hope nothing else goes wrong.

"Hahaha, thank you all."

Yamato ran around on the deck, waving to the people on both sides of the river who were seeing him off, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

Although she hasn't yet achieved her goal of opening Wano Country to the outside world, nor has she defeated her father, she is already very happy with the current situation.

She really helped the country.

On the deck, the high-ranking officers, including the Oniwabanshu and the samurai patrol, watched the general running around and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

As a general, he acted like a child.

How dignified!

Everyone secretly glanced at Goode.

Fortunately, this one is the real general!

"set off!"

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the fleet set sail.

This Ghost Island banquet had more than 25,000 participants, far exceeding the scale of any previous event.

Ghost Island, small banquet hall.

"Hmm hmm hmm, Yamato should be here soon."

Kaido drank his wine, his gaze cold and sharp.

It has been a week since he returned from the expedition, and he still hasn't seen Yamato.

What a terrible daughter!
During this time, he had thoroughly investigated the changes that had occurred in Wano Country, especially the development of various villages.

He could guess what Yamato was thinking and didn't care how Yamato played around, but in his eyes, such childish behavior was somewhat like playing house.

Governing the country? Showing compassion for the people?
too naive!

Outside of Wano Country, the world is in chaos due to the payment of so-called "heavenly gold," and humanity can only survive through war and plunder.

Weapons, money, violence!

These are the foundation of survival.

Is governing a country more profitable than plundering?
As a father, he had to teach his daughter the only law that needed to be followed in this world: the survival of the fittest!

Not long after, the royalists emerged.

"Lord Kaido, the general's fleet has arrived at the port."

"Send them to the grand banquet hall!"

Kaido grinned, his eyes filled with disdain.

During each fire festival, Orochi prepares a large amount of gold and silver treasures as "offerings." I wonder how well Yamato has prepared this time.

Given Yamato's weak nature, it's unlikely it could amass wealth like Orochi and produce any decent "tribute"!

The third floor is the grand banquet hall.

"The Flying Six will be here soon!"

"And His Highness Yamato!"

"Haha, I can't wait!"

The fighters were like they were on steroids, their emotions running high as they stared at the gate. Today they had a chance to challenge the Flying Six!
"Hey, what's Lord Quinn doing?"

Many of the real fighters' attention was drawn to Quinn standing at the door.

At this time in the past, Quinn would have already been on stage enlivening the atmosphere, but now he was quietly staying in the banquet hall, seemingly waiting for someone.

"Flying Six has arrived!"

At the servant's call, Quinn immediately craned his neck in anticipation.

Outside the banquet hall, apart from Goode who had not yet arrived, the other six members of the Flying Six were all present. They should have made a grand entrance, but the atmosphere among them was a bit strange.

Sasaki frowned, his face showing considerable displeasure and dissatisfaction: "Fozford, you're making us Flying Six look bad!"

"Shut up!"

Fozfer was ashamed and angry, and rebuked him.

However, Sasaki showed no mercy. "I never expected that the Flying Six would be beaten up like this. You'd better withdraw voluntarily."

"That's right, it's really embarrassing!"

Runti joined in the mockery.

I'm going to kill you all!

Forzford's forehead veins bulged, but the bandages wrapped all over his body, his obviously crooked mouth and nose, and the broken horn on his head made his threat seem like a joke.

The weak do not deserve sympathy.

"Ta~ta~"

Footsteps came from afar.

The Flying Six turned to look, their gazes darkening, especially Forsford, whose clenched teeth clearly showed he was furious to the extreme.

They were generals and daimyo.

And Goode!

"Wow, Kou-chan!"

Runti squinted her eyes happily, raised her arms and pounced on Goode, hugging his neck like a koala and swinging him around.

"I miss you so much!"

"Mmm, I miss you too."

Goode disdainfully lifted Runti down.

This girl is so annoying.

Also, where did this trendy self-designation come from?

"Oh, everyone's here!"

Goode looked at the Flying Six and greeted them warmly, then shifted his gaze to the furious Fawcett.

"Hey, the Forsford brothers, who beat you up like this?"

"He fell!"

Forzford snorted coldly.

If you are less skilled than others, you should swallow your pride and bear it.

He spent the whole night in pain in bed yesterday, and finally figured out a way to defeat Goode.

As long as he maintains a safe distance, he can take the initiative by using his speed advantage. In addition, he also needs to master a special skill that can penetrate Goode's abnormal defense.

He was determined to avenge his previous humiliation!
Goode patted Forzford on the shoulder and said with a smile, "As a member of the Flying Six, it's not right for you to have your horn broken. Here's what I'll do: I'll have someone put a gold one in it for you later!"

"Thanks!"

Forsford's eyes were blazing with anger as he forced out a thank you through clenched teeth.

The remaining six members of the Flying Six exchanged glances and immediately understood what had happened.

So it turns out he was beaten up by Goode!

Sasaki stared at Goode, his brows furrowed.

He originally thought he would compete with Fozf for the right to challenge the big signboard, but he didn't expect Goode to defeat Fozf.

Who exactly is this guy? He has the strength to defeat Fozford. How come I've never heard of him before?

"Let's go in!"

Goode didn't stand on ceremony and took the lead into the banquet hall. Before he could even see what was going on inside, a large, fat figure pounced on him.

"Hahaha, good brother, I've been waiting for you for ages! You're finally here! I've missed you so much!"

Quinn gave Goode a big, enthusiastic hug, as if he had seen his long-lost father.

"Um???"

The fighters were taken aback, even Jhin and Jack turned their heads in surprise, unable to understand why Quinn had gone crazy.

What's going on?

When did these two become so close?

Goode's face twitched, and he quickly pushed Quinn away. His physique looked weak in front of Quinn, and it was too inappropriate for him to be hugged.

"You're too kind, Lord Quinn."

"Don't mention it, just call me brother."

Quinn beamed, his eyes constantly glancing outside.

Goode smiled and lowered his voice.

"Xiao Zi is waiting for you outside the door."

"Good, you're truly my brother!"

Quinn's little eyes lit up, and he scurried off.

Little Purple Sauce!

Your brother Quinn is here!
