One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 81 Ace is my brother!

"Looking for Ace?!"

Upon hearing that Beasts wanted to find Ace, the captains' faces darkened. They didn't think Beasts wanted anything good from Ace.

Moreover, they knew that Ace had been to Wano Country.

Clearly, the Beasts are here to kill Ace!
We must never let Ace get into danger!

Goode let out a soft "hmm," his face showing surprise.

"Do you know Ace?"

"Of course I know you!"

The captains picked up their weapons and stood ready for battle.

"Ace is our comrade!"

"He is now the second division commander of our Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Give up, we will never hand Ace over to you!"

The captains surrounded Goode and his group.

"Xiao Pei!"

"understand!"

Upon seeing this, Runti and Page immediately activated their transformations, with the two ancient behemoths flanking Goode on either side!

The battle is about to break out.

"Wait a moment!"

Good frowned slightly: "When did Ace join the Whitebeard Pirates and become the second division commander? You wouldn't be lying to me on purpose to protect him, would you?"

"We're not that bored."

Marco explained coldly, "Ace has been with us for three months, and today's decision is just the right time for him to become captain."

Do I look like an idiot to you?!

Goode's gaze turned cold.

"If Fire Fist Ace had joined the Whitebeard Pirates, such a big thing should have spread throughout the world by now. How could there be no news at all!"

"this."

Marco's words are a refrain.

Given Ace's reputation, that's certainly true.

He couldn't very well explain that Ace had been beaten up on the ship for nearly three months and only recently became a full member.

So embarrassing.

As a family member, he had to protect Ace's reputation!

"It couldn't have happened earlier or later, but it just so happened that Ace became the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates right when we Beasts came looking for him."

Goode mocked him without any restraint.

"If your Whitebeard Pirates really want Portgas D. Ace, just say so. We're all pirates, no need to be so hypocritical."

"We're not lying to you!"

The team leaders looked grim.

The timing was indeed a bit too good to be true. If the Beasts had arrived a few days later, they would have had a legitimate reason to protect Ace.

The current situation is somewhat like they are bullying others by taking advantage of their power, but the other party is the Beasts Pirates, who are not easy to bully, and it could easily lead to war if they are not careful.

Now their family is large and powerful, unlike the days when they were just a group of people adventuring in the world and could start wars without any scruples.

Just as tensions were running high, a riot broke out in the rear.

"Get out of my way, this is my business!"

Ace's voice came from behind!

The captains' expressions changed slightly.

What they least want to see right now is Ace encountering the Beasts. Although they trust Ace's strength, they don't want him to be in danger.

Ace is too young and easily impulsive!
soon.

Ace squeezed through the crowd and stood next to Marco. Looking at the burly man he least wanted to see, his hands and feet instantly turned ice cold.

That devil!

He considered hiding on the ship, but his pride as a man wouldn't allow him to do so, let alone let his companions take the risk for him.

Die or die!

No, it's more terrifying than death!
The thought of tomorrow morning, when the newspapers would report that Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, committed suicide out of shame and anger because of debt, filled him with despair.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Goodbye, my friends.

Ace walked forward like a zombie and came to Goode.

"Good."

"Ace."

Good looked down at Ace.

"You're now a captain in Whitebeard's army?"

"Yes."

Ace nodded slowly. Although he had tried to decline, his companions wouldn't allow it.

Also, he wants to be the captain!
"Good, I didn't—"

"Snapped!"

Goode pulled Ace into his arms with his strong, powerful hand, silencing Ace's words.

Eh? !

Good Bear hugged Ace and laughed.

"Brother Ace, I've missed you so much!"

"what?"

Ace was completely dumbfounded.

The team leaders were also dumbfounded!
What's going on here?
Good released Ace, pressed Ace's head down, and looked at the captains: "Captains, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Groudon Good!"

"I'm so sorry, I was very offensive just now!"

"After all, Brother Ace is my beloved friend and brother. I need to make sure you truly consider him a partner."

"We are extremely grateful for your care of this young man!"

Is this guy Ace's brother?

Marco and the others were dumbfounded.

No, this is such a huge turn of events!
They were all prepared to fight to the death!

Also, the two of you don't look like brothers at all!

"What are you doing standing still!"

Good slapped Ace hard.

"Say something, you brat!"

"Uh, oh!"

Ace finally realized what was happening and, under Goode's oppressive power, bowed deeply and apologized to his companions.

What kind of bullshit brother is that?

They are clearly vicious creditors!

If it weren't for the fact that Goode seemed to have no ill intentions towards his companions, he wouldn't have obeyed even if it meant exploding.

"Sorry, you've misunderstood. Goode is my older brother!"

"."

The team leaders looked at each other in bewilderment.

it is true?
But Ace, why do you look a little scared?

"Ha ha ha ha."

Good ruffled Ace's hair vigorously and explained with a smile, "Ace and I became friends in Wano Country after a fight, and we drank a sworn brotherhood sake. I beat this kid up a lot, so he's a little afraid of me."

"So that's it."

The team leaders suddenly realized.

Now I understand. It's common for people to become friends after a battle, especially among pirates. Ace joined them after challenging them.

and many more!

Did this guy defeat Ace?

The captains realized what was happening, and their gazes towards Goode changed.

They had witnessed Ace's strength firsthand. Although he was still very young, Ace was really strong!

Is this muscular giant stronger than Ace?

real or fake?

The team leaders exchanged glances, eager to make their move.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Goode smiled and suggested, "I came here mainly to check on Ace's condition. Now that I see he's doing well, I'm relieved."

"Thank you again for taking care of Ace!"

"How about this, I'll treat you to drinks!"

"Ace, go and call all your crew members, and all the captains, please give me face!"

We have to give them face!

Marco smiled and said, "Since he's Ace's brother, we won't refuse. But Brother Goode, you've come from afar, so how can we let you pay for our meal? This drink is on us!"

"No! No!"

Good waved his hands repeatedly, patted his chest, and said loudly, "If you try to argue with me about this, I won't be happy. Everything today must be paid for by me, Good!"

"."

The team leaders exchanged helpless glances.

Not only does she care about her younger brother, but she is also incredibly generous and lavish. You know, treating them to drinks is no small expense.

It's so hard to dislike her!
"Brothers, let's have a feast!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

I originally planned to release it this week, but it's been scheduled for the Sanjiang Awards, so the release date has to be changed to the first of next month. Thank you for your understanding.
