I Have a Dream

One Piece: Groudon Good of the Beasts Author: Strolling Little Sun Introduction:

Introduction:

As everyone knows, the disasters of the Beasts Pirates can fail to perform, but they cannot fail to make a scene.

Face Calamity: (Stretching the head) Mink Supreme Emperor! Art Calamity: Sing, dance, rap! Dimwit Calamity: Bring the ship closer! Earth Calamity: What? Whitebeard is going to war with Marine Headquarters? House prices in Sabaody are plunging? Holy crap, what are you still standing there for? This is a golden opportunity to buy the dip!

Faced with a reporter's interview, Earth Calamity happily stated:

"Buying land is my hobby, collecting rent is my joy."

"As long as I buy up the real estate all over the world, everyone in the world will have to pay rent to me!"

"Heh heh heh, what a wonderful idea!"

"Oh, the real estate in Mary Geoise, the Holy Land, seems to have great investment value!"

Chapter 1: I Have a Dream

Year 1517 of the Sea Circle Calendar, three years before Luffy sets out to sea.

Wano Country, Onigashima.

"Thunder~~Bagua!!!"

Following the thunderous roar, a white shooting star appeared in the sky above Skull Castle, plunging at high speed toward the rear of Onigashima.

"BOOM!!!"

The island trembled, and dust soared into the sky.

The huge commotion was no less than being shelled by a battleship, yet the Beasts Pirates garrisoned on Onigashima remained exceptionally calm.

Princess Yamato got beaten up again.

The pirates grumbled inwardly.

Similar situations happened every two or three months, and they had long since grown used to it, knowing very well that it was Lord Kaido's family trouble.

According to convention, next-

The sky darkened, rolling thunderclouds obscured the heavens, and immediately afterward, a huge Azure Dragon poked its body out from the thunderclouds, circling above Onigashima.

Strongest Creature, Kaido of the Beasts!

The Azure Dragon let out a roar-like laugh.

"Worororo, little ones, go drag that stupid child of mine into the dungeon! For half a month, she is not allowed a single speck of food!"

"OOH!!!"

The pirates raised their weapons and roared fiercely, swarming toward the back mountain in a massive tide.

An order personally issued by Boss Kaido-completing it would secure a hefty bounty at the very least, and with a bit of luck, they might even get promoted to officers.

Skull Castle, second floor, a certain room.

Good stood in front of the mirror, looking at the robust physique in the reflection comparable to Zangief from Street Fighter, and the fierce face resembling a bald giant like Kratos, his gaze growing increasingly dazed.

Not to say he looked very handsome, but rather that it had precisely zero relation to handsomeness.

It completely fit the wild aesthetic of the Beasts.

Oozing Haki, a pure-blooded man-people from his hometown would probably mistake him for a gold-medal professional wrestler in the WWE upon seeing him.

Shocked by himself once more, Good sorrowfully raised his head to look at the ceiling, two streams of hot tears slowly sliding down his cheeks.

"NO!!!"

Snowflakes drifting~~ The northern wind whistles~~

"Why, why did I time-travel!"

Good was a time-traveler.

Yet he didn't want to time-travel at all.

In his previous life, his family were demolition compensation recipients.

They demolished eight houses.

Eight!

After graduating and getting battered by society, he listened to his parents' advice, quit his job, and went home to leech off them, living the flat-lying life of a landlord.

Every day he either strolled around the park, played chess or mahjong with the neighbors, or occasionally invited friends over for fishing, basketball, and gaming, acting just like a street idler.

When the end of the month arrived, his phone would chime with the cold transfer ringtone, reminding him that it was yet another day full of hope.

Dreams? Ambition?

Hah~ spit!

Do you even understand the bliss of collecting rent!

He was practically dying of pleasure.

He thought he could keep enjoying it forever.

Unexpectedly, he suffered an accidental time-travel, landing right in the chaotic world of One Piece and becoming a mere grunt in the Beasts Pirates.

He hadn't enjoyed enough yet!!!

"What the hell do you care if someone falls into the river? You're just a useless lump who only knows how to survive on rent, what are you trying to be a hero for?"

Good cursed and swore as he wiped away his tears, his gaze gradually turning fierce.

He had heard Boss Kaido's roar.

Two and a half months since his time-travel, he had grown accustomed to the new environment and his new body, and had been waiting precisely for an opportunity like this!

"So what if I'm ugly, as long as I have money!"

"As long as I catch Yamato, I'll get a huge bounty!"

"Then buy houses-collect rent, buy houses again-collect rent again!"

"The happiness I lost, I will take back with my own hands!"

Good clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

I, Groudon Good, twenty-four years old.

I have a less-than-grandiose dream!

And that is to become a parasite landlord who lives off rents and does nothing!

"Yamato, heh heh heh heh..."

Good snatched up a door-slab-sized greatsword, walked into the hallway with a sinister grin, and before he had taken a few steps, his crooked smirk froze on his face.

Trouble had arrived.

Not far away, a very kawaii young girl wearing a pink mask and long blue-and-pink-interwoven hair was running around in a flurry, searching every single room.

Snap!

The door was plucked right off its hinges by the girl bare-handed.

"Not here!"

"Not here either!"

"Damn it, Little Pei, where the hell are you!"

Watching the girl lose her patience and on the verge of throwing a rampage, Good immediately turned around and quickened his pace, not wanting to be discovered by her.

Dammit, I didn't check the almanac before going out today!

However, it was too late.

The girl spotted the sneaking Good, her eyes lighting up as her knees bent and she spring-loaded into action, darting in front of Good in the blink of an eye.

"Stop right there, Good!"

"Lady Ulti."

Good's face twitched as he helplessly lowered his head to look down at the girl.

The girl was named Ulti, currently an officer-level Headliner in the Beasts Pirates, and also his direct superior.

Ulti, standing at a mere 173 centimeters, looked like a little potato in the eyes of someone 2.8 meters tall and built bulkier than a bear, the kind who would cry for a long time from a single slap.

Yet, the girl possessed terrifying strength far surpassing his own.

Was this reasonable?

It was not reasonable!

But this was reality.

Ulti tilted her head back and glared at Good, grinding her teeth in anger.

"Good, did you find Little Pei?"

"No."

Good shook his head expressionlessly.

Little Pei was Ulti's younger brother, Page One.

The girl before him was actually a super bro-con with a notoriously explosive temper, whose greatest joy on a daily basis was "tossing around" her younger brother, causing the latter to constantly hide from her.

Therefore, searching for the girl's hiding brother became the primary daily headache for him as her second-in-command.

Yet this was not a pleasant chore.

If he didn't find him, the older sister would be pissed.

If he did find him, the younger brother would be pissed.

It was realistically much safer to just slack off and not search.

Not getting the answer she wanted, Ulti irritably tugged at the corner of Good's collar: "If you didn't find him, then keep looking, you idiot!"

"Lady Ulti."

Unmoved, Good calmly raised a finger and pointed upward: "Boss Kaido just gave the order to drag Princess Yamato into the dungeon."

"Huh?!"

Ulti arched her brows and bluntly cursed: "Why are they having family trouble again, is Kaido an idiot? Besides, this is his family business, what does it have to do with us!"

"That may be so."

Good acted as if he hadn't heard the girl's sharp remarks about Boss Kaido, explaining: "But this is Boss Kaido's order after all. Lady Ulti, given Lord Page One's personality, I'd wager he'll most likely go try to capture Yamato."

"Oh yeah, then let's go too!"

Ulti slapped her palm in sudden realization, leaping directly up to sit on Good's shoulders, her two fair, slender legs dangling back and forth.

The girl narrowed her eyes in excitement and swung her small fist forward!

"Charge! Good-chan!"

"..."

Good's face twitched once more.

These legs really are-oh, wait, no!

Is this brat using him as a mount again?

Though it wasn't the first time, looking at the fair, slender legs swaying in front of him, Good genuinely felt like grabbing them and slamming her fiercely onto the ground like a little chick.

Huff~~
