One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 70 The Six Strongest Illusion Techniques: Iron Block!
As the competition intensified, the pirates became increasingly enthusiastic, shouting encouragement with their necks stretched out and veins bulging.

"Go, Lord Babanuki!"

"Kill him!"

"Ouch!!!!"

Babanuki roared and slapped his opponent across the face, the powerful force sending him flying off the ring.

"Babanuki, Win!"

Thirty consecutive wins!

"Hahahaha!"

Babanuki laughed and raised his arms to show the audience his strength, feeling more exhilarated than ever before.

Amidst wild cheers, Babanuki stepped off the ring.

Thirty consecutive wins means you've earned the right to challenge; all you need to do is wait for the final challenge round!

As time went on, more and more true fighters earned this honor, and each of them became the focus of attention among pirates.

The Shintas were enjoying the moment, and even if they lost to the Flying Six in the subsequent challenge, they felt it was all worth it.

In a normal challenge, they would most likely become stepping stones for the Flying Six and the object of ridicule.

But at this moment, on the stage under the spotlight, they fully demonstrated their strength, gaining not only wealth but also, more importantly, honor!
Wealth, status, fame!

The three pursuits of pirates.

This is all thanks to Lord Goode!
Third floor, stage.

The Flying Six watched the duel below, their expressions growing increasingly solemn. This challenge was far more severe than they had imagined.

They will likely face more than one challenger, and without using their abilities, they may not be able to withstand it.

Goode glanced at Page Van.

"What, are you scared?"

"How can it be!"

Page Van arrogantly raised his chin.

After a six-month expedition, he has made a name for himself in the outside world, and his bounty has exceeded one hundred million Berries.

He's not afraid of such a small situation at all!
Peggy Van subconsciously touched his face.

Among the Flying Six, he was the youngest, turning 16 after the Fire Festival, and also the smallest in stature.

Judging from his size alone, he is indeed the easiest to bully. If everyone were to challenge him, it would be quite troublesome!

Well, it's just a minor inconvenience!

"That's good."

Goode chuckled.

He wasn't trying to trick Xiao Pei; he simply wanted to save time. Otherwise, if they challenged each of them one by one, it would take until tomorrow morning.

Turning the annual grand banquet into a duel performance would be too much of a spoilsport; he also wanted to relax and enjoy himself properly.

A clapping contest would be perfect, as it's fast-paced, entertaining, and allows all members of the Beasts to participate, boosting their enthusiasm.

"That's almost it."

Goode looked down.

With the addition of the real fighters, the competition gradually drew to a close, and fewer and fewer pirates were left on stage, so it was time to declare the competition over.

The time is exactly 10 o'clock.

"Boom!!!"

With the sound of the gong, the qualifying rounds came to a temporary end, and a total of more than thirty real fighters were given the opportunity to challenge.

"It's our turn to step in!"

Goode leaped off the stage and landed on one of the rings. Seeing this, Forsford and the others also chose their own rings.

Runti stood on the ring closest to Goode, looking terrified: "Goode, I'm so scared! What if my face gets hurt?"

"Xiao Run, that's just how I am."

Good sighed, a smug smirk playing on his lips.

"I love watching women fight!"

"You damned gorilla!"

Runti was furious upon hearing this. She leaped up and rushed in front of Goode, grabbing his neck and shaking him violently: "At a time like this, you should be considerate and say that I will take care of you!"

"Take care of you?"

Goode looked down at Runti and pulled out a thick wad of pesos from his pocket.

Runti's expression changed instantly. She snatched Bailey away and stuffed him into her skirt, then considerately straightened Goode's clothes.

"Oh my, Ko-chan, I knew you loved me the most."

"Go back now," Goode snapped impatiently.

Ha, look how spoiled you are.

At most, you'll be my concubine.

"Gu-chan, I'll take my leave now."

Runti beamed and skipped back to her ring.

I made some money, I'm so happy!
Although she is very powerful, she doesn't actually have much money in her pocket. For example, in this expedition, she only received a few million Berries. After all, there are too many people in the crew, and everyone needs to contribute money.

Besides, she's a fashionable young woman who can't cut back on expenses; designer clothes, bags, cosmetics—everything costs money.

Gu Jiang is her true love!
All six members of the Flying Six were in position, but a strange thing happened: there was no challenger in the ring where Goode was.

Ulti and Black Maria divided up the female fighters, and Sasaki didn't have many challengers either. Even Page One, who seemed the easiest to bully, only had four challengers.

As for Fozfer's ring.

The challengers circled the ring once, each one rubbing their hands together, ready to strike, their faces menacing as they stared at Forsford.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Forsford!"

"you!"

Forzford's face darkened, and his veins bulged with anger.

Damn it, they've all got their eyes on him, haven't they!

They grinned maliciously.

Persimmons should be picked soft and pinched.

Forsford was covered in bandages, and his face was swollen and distorted, clearly indicating that he was injured. Who else would they choose if not him?
The real fighters glanced at Goode furtively, their eyes immediately softening and filled with respect.

Many of them originally intended to challenge Goode, because among the Flying Six, Goode's strength was the most mysterious, and he had no bounty.

But Lord Good gave them the perfect stage to showcase themselves, and they had to repay that favor, plus Lord Good is rich!
"Let me lead the charge!"

Babanuki was the first to step onto the stage!
He knew very well that being the first to go on stage was not a wise choice, but there were advantages too; being the first to go on stage would definitely be the most glamorous.

He didn't expect to be promoted to Flying Six.

Gaining attention is his goal!

As long as his performance isn't too bad, then he'll have achieved his goal: to make a good impression on his superiors!

Especially in front of that man!

third floor.

When Quinn saw Babanuki step onto the stage, he immediately perked up and pulled out a megaphone to yell towards the ring.

"Babanuki, take down Fozfer!"

"Yes, Lord Quinn!"

Babanuki responded loudly.

At this point, the pirates who were watching also began to cheer and jeer, especially the jailers from the prison quarry.

"Go, Lord Babanuki!"

"Let's teach the Flying Six a lesson!"

"Don't let anyone underestimate the prisoner quarry!"

As the lowest of all beasts, they would rather see the Flying Six defeated, which would give them the illusion that "I could do it too."

"Draw lots!"

Babanuki looked at the first draw, a look of joy appearing on his honest face, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Lord Forsford."

"Let's start quickly!"

Forzford snorted coldly, put his hands in his pockets and stood still. If he moved even once in this duel, he would lose!
Babanuki stretched out his palm, brought it close to Fozfoe's right cheek, then moved it away, and then brought it close to Fozfoe's right cheek again.

They gestured back and forth three times.

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Babanuki roared and exerted his strength, causing his muscles to swell and his already massive arms to nearly double in size.

A domineering aura gathers in the palm of your hand!
Forsford's expression gradually changed, and cold sweat slid down his forehead.

not good!

"Warden's Trial - A Huge Slap!"

"Iron!"

"Snapped!!!"

A hand bigger than a face slapped Forzford’s left cheek, and as his face trembled violently, a back molar flew out of his mouth.

The iron block is about to collapse!
