One Piece: The Legend of Beasts

On the rough sea, a giant warship was moving forward at full speed, splashing large waves wherever it passed.

"Report to Vice Admiral Garp! We will reach the Valley of the Gods in another hour! All soldiers are ready for battle!"

"Very good! Report to me immediately if you find that guy's whereabouts!"

"Yes!"

The sailor saluted and then retreated. A tall and strong man stood on the bow, looking curiously at the end of the sea level. His eyes were full of anxiety, as if he was waiting for something to appear.

At first, Cap found it extremely confusing that Big Brother had suddenly arranged for him to go on vacation.

Although the long vacation life made him feel particularly happy, he still felt a little disappointed that he couldn't go and fight with his old rival Roger.

The only news he got during this period was that the Roger Pirates secretly joined forces with the World Government to attack Beehive Island. After the attack, Roger turned around and wanted to take the spoils for himself, but was beaten by the government's army and fled, ending up with nothing.

Garp simply laughed at this information. As someone who had dealt with Roger countless times, he knew very well what kind of person he was.

A man who comes from the D clan, loves to collect original historical texts, and always sticks to his word, would never go along with the high-ranking officials of the World Government, let alone easily betray the allies he has worked so hard to find.

Therefore, it is most likely that the old guys in the upper echelons secretly planned something with the aim of framing Roger and causing a fierce conflict between the two strongest pirate groups in the world.

Colleagues who were afraid that they might leak the news would naturally not let themselves participate in any actions.

Even if this is true, Karp does not intend to make his speculation public.

No matter what, the other party is also a pirate, an enemy standing on the opposite side.

No matter what kind of trouble those people get into, I have no obligation to stand up for them.

But just this morning, the usually serious big brother suddenly contacted Garp in a pleading tone, and he soon learned from him that most of the Celestial Dragons who usually lived deep in Marijoa were currently practicing together in a country called Valley of the Gods.

Although his words obviously concealed a lot of information, one thing was beyond doubt: the Roger Pirates and the Rocks Pirates, either of which was enough to turn the world upside down, appeared near the island at this time.

Fortunately, the resort where Garp was located was not far from the Valley of the Gods, so after learning this confidential information, this navy officer whose mind was only on fighting gathered his troops without saying a word and headed towards the destination in a hurry.

——Although I don’t know what the truth is, if I can’t figure it out, I’ll just beat those people up first!

- Try to hold on as long as possible, Roger! This time, I will make you admit defeat sincerely!

Thinking that an unprecedented fierce battle would be taking place in a few hours, Garp subconsciously clenched his fists. Drops of sweat slid down the back of his neck, soon soaking his coat and even the "Justice" cloak that was fluttering in the wind.

"Mr. Cap, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to ask a military doctor to check you out?" Behind him, a man in a suit standing on the deck asked with concern. Now is the season when malaria is prone to break out, and even the strongest people cannot avoid it.

"That's not the case, Bogart!"

Garp turned half of his face to the side, revealing a confident and hearty smile, "I'm just shaking because I can't contain my excitement!"

"Humph, it seems I worried for nothing."

A rare smile appeared on Bogart's stern face, and his right hand rested on the hilt of the knife at his waist. "If you need subordinates to help you, don't forget to count me in!"

“Wahahaha! I’ll let go as long as you’re here… It hurts! I twisted my waist due to excessive excitement!”

"...Or I think we should find a military doctor first."

When Greengu passed through a long passage, a heavy and gorgeous door gradually came into view from afar. Carved on its surface were two two-legged flying dragons standing opposite each other, which looked lifelike from afar.

A ray of light leaked out from the slightly opened gap in the middle of the door, making the originally dark passage a little brighter. From time to time, a "creaking" sound came from inside, and it became clearer as the footsteps approached. Green Gu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, gently pushed open the door, and walked in swaggeringly.

The spacious and luxurious living room was filled with various facilities made of gold. A gorgeous crystal chandelier was hung in the center of the ceiling. The light shone through the glass cover onto the floor, creating a colorful and dazzling luster. It was hard to believe that this was a lounge for the contestants.

But Green Gu had no interest in the layout of the room and just focused his eyes on the source of the sounds.

A petite woman was sitting on a dark golden animal-skin sofa. Her appearance could not be seen from the back, but her long dark purple hair was cascading down her head. There was a strand of hair sticking up high on her head, swaying from side to side from time to time. She was concentrating on assembling a small doll and did not notice anyone walking into the room.

"The game will start in just over an hour, and you're still playing with that boring toy. Don't you think you're being too naive?"

Suddenly hearing that familiar yet particularly annoying voice, the girl was stunned for a moment, then she put down what she was doing, and shot up from the sofa holding the half-finished doll. She quickly turned around and rushed to the door, slightly bending down towards the tall young man, with her hands behind her back, a sweet smile like a flower bloomed on her face: "Huh? It turns out to be the highly anticipated Mr. Greengu! By the way, were you asking me about the competition just now? Don't worry about that! As long as you don't get deducted minus 15,000 points, there are naturally ways to get good results~"

Like Green, the girl also had a large cloak on her back and a black tight-fitting soft skirt, which showed her navel and waistline. The long gloves on her hands and the long combat boots on her feet were all lavender. Her long legs were wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, which made the curves of her thighs more harmonious. The two thin purple lines extending from the corners of her eyes to her chin did not make her face look weird, but added a bit of seductive beauty to her.

When she smiled, her eyes narrowed into two beautiful crescents, and her laughter was so gentle and beautiful that people couldn't help but feel a liking for her.

But Green, who had known the girl for a long time, soon heard the sarcasm in her tone. Despite this, he did not get angry, but just looked around and asked calmly: "Why are you here alone, Sally?"

The girl suddenly heard the nickname used by the team to address her, and her cute face smiled even more brightly: "Others want to confirm whether their slaves are in good health, so they go ahead. Although it doesn't matter to me whether the slaves are dead or alive~"

At this point, she suddenly seemed to remember something. She put her hands on her hips and looked angry. The hair on her head was like an antenna, swaying left and right as her emotions rose. "Speaking of which, you guys are really too much. You sneaked over to Beehive Island to rob and kept it a secret from me. As a result, I didn't get anything for it!"

Green seemed to have long been accustomed to her childish temper that she would never change. He closed his eyes helplessly and sighed: "With your over-the-top ability, it will be easy for that group of people to be caught... Never mind, at worst I can give you half of the prize money for the championship."

If an ordinary person heard this teasing remark, they would certainly be unable to resist saying something in reply. However, Sally just smiled and gently stroked the exquisitely crafted doll in her hand, which was still missing a right leg. She said softly, "In that case, maybe my dislike for you would be a little less. But as for who will be the winner, it should be him, right? Isn't that right, little Sykes?"

The doll with a cute boyish face and a lively expression seemed to have received some kind of response. Its eyes slowly turned to its master, and its square mouth opened and closed, making a gentle but slightly dull voice: "Of course! Lady Sally is the most beautiful and perfect goddess in this sea! There is nothing she can't do, even the district champion is no problem at all!"

Sally felt very pleased with these flattering words. She couldn't help but rub the doll's head against her face, smiling even sweeter than before: "Ah~ So good! This is my adorable little Sykes! As a reward, I will make you into the best masterpiece~"

"Ohh! I can't help but be flattered by Lady Sally's flawless compliment!"

Looking at them singing in unison, as if it was a pre-arranged dialogue, Greengu held his forehead and sighed. He was really not good at dealing with such narcissistic girls.

What's more, every time she met me, she would show an aggressive hostility. Although she would still ask me questions with a smile on her face, nine out of ten of her words were not nice.

Of course, the reason is inevitable. As long as his desire for the position of leader has not changed, as an extreme supporter of that man, he will naturally not have a good impression of me.

——I am really looking forward to it. What kind of expression will you have when you see the man you admire most being knocked down in front of you?

Reciting these words silently in his heart, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of Greengu's mouth. He strode past her, kept his upper body straight, sat upright on the sofa, picked up a mechanical part on the table, held it in his hand and slowly turned it. Every movement he made was so cautious, just like a noble who had received a good etiquette education.

"Suppose that the prize of the competition finally falls into the hands of those of you with special abilities, what are you going to do with it?" Greengu asked slowly without raising his head, his hands still playing with the gear with tiny serrations on the edge.

“How to deal with it…? Pfft! Are you kidding me? Ahahaha!”

Sally seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. She laughed so hard that she fell backwards, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Do I even need to think about that?! Of course I'll feed them to the slaves I raise at home and parade them through the streets. Appreciating the miserable lives of those scumbags is a worthy pleasure!"

"It's in line with your usual style... But I don't hate it."

Green, who still kept his head down and continued working, was indifferent to her ridicule, his eyes never leaving the parts. "Those prizes are extremely rare varieties of devil fruits. Don't you think it's a bit of a waste to feed them to those slaves? It's better to give them to other members of the family."

"That's what I mean, Lady Sally!"

The puppet called "Little Sykes" also agreed with his idea, "The commander spent a lot of effort to get those fruits. If he finds out that you did this, he will be furious!"

As soon as it said this, it felt something was wrong. In an instant, the temperature around it suddenly dropped several degrees, and a biting chill filled the air.

Then, a sweet laughter like a silver bell sounded from above the doll, word by word: "What did you say? Sorry, I don't think I heard it clearly. Could you please repeat it again~"
