Good and Page One fought on Onigashima’s Back Mountain, with Page One revealing the strength of his Spinosaurus form. Good then summoned his newly evolved juvenile Groudon and transformed into his Lightweight Form, preparing to test his power.
Good defeated Page One with a single blow after revealing his Groudon-like transformation, then left with Ulti as Page One approved of him as a possible brother-in-law. As the Beasts Pirates gathered on Onigashima for an approaching expedition, a battle began in the Castle plaza.
Good defeated Holdem in a challenge at Kaido’s banquet and convinced Kaido to leave him behind to guard Onigashima during the expedition. As the fleet departed from Wano, Good stayed behind while Page One joined Ulti aboard the ships.
Good used the Beasts Pirates' departure to take control of their Wano territory and forced God of Wealth Town's villagers to sign a contract by threatening to destroy their homes. Yamato challenged his cruelty, then declared she would help people even if they hated her, while the villagers reluctantly gave up their refuge.
Good secured ownership of the town and its surrounding farmland, then gave the villagers ten thousand gold and food. After the villagers returned the gold and agreed to buy homes from him, Good and Yamato headed toward the Flower Capital, where Yamato called him despicable.
Good offered the courtesans at his Hot Spring Club the chance to buy their freedom, then summoned four gang bosses and presented them with employment contracts. The gang bosses rejected the contracts, while Good insisted the money he placed before them was only for buying better clothes.
Good forced four yakuza bosses to work for him by revealing that Hyogoro was alive and promising to free him after five years. He then went to the Prisoner Quarry with Yamato and threatened Chief Warden Babanuki into lending him a thousand prisoners.
Good forced Babanuki to send 1,000 prisoners, including Hyogoro, from the quarry to Hakumai so he could recruit them. He told Hyogoro he might let him live, leaving the four gang bosses hopeful about their former leader’s fate.
Good brought Hyogoro and Shimotsuki Yasuie together and assigned them and four underworld bosses roles in rebuilding Hakumai. He made clear that their cooperation rested on aligned interests, leaving them to begin work on his ambitious plans.
Orochi learned that Good and Yamato were building a town in Hakumai and ordered Fukurokuju to bring them to him, fearing the project would undermine his rule and worsen the Flower Capital’s influence. Meanwhile, Yamato enthusiastically helped the freed prisoners construct the town, then relaxed with Good at the hot spring.
Good took Yamato to Orochi Castle for a meeting with Orochi, where the Oniwabanshu welcomed them and led them to a banquet hall. As their host failed to appear, Yamato waited hungrily while Good finally picked up his chopsticks.
Good and Yamato attended Orochi’s banquet, where Good pressured the shogun into promising fifty thousand gold for Hakumai’s construction. He then revealed that Yamato was Kaido’s only child and heir, leaving Orochi to consider the project’s connection to the Beasts Pirates’ future.
Good declared that Yamato and Ulti were both his fiancées, forcing Orochi to abandon his attempt to kill him. Orochi then directed Good and Yamato toward Ashura Doji, hoping they would eliminate the troublesome bandit or fall fighting him.
Good persuaded Orochi to fund a campaign against Shutenmaru’s bandits and used the announcement to attract support for Yamato’s new city in Hakumai. Three days later, Good met with his trusted subordinates to hear their report on the city’s growing attention.
Good launched advance sales for Hakumai City, drawing eager buyers from across Wano Country with low prices and installment payments. As the crowds converged on the construction site, Good left to attend to other business, amused by how Orochi would react.
Orochi and Fukurokuju arranged to use the bandit extermination campaign to eliminate Good, while Good delayed the mission until its funding arrived and recruited the Oniwabanshu assigned to him for a lavish welcome. After discovering news about Ace, Good led the funded force toward Kuri, where it reached the bandit stronghold at Atama Mountain.
Shutenmaru led the Atama Mountain Thieves toward Boro Town while Good predicted the move and arranged an ambush. As Good challenged Yamato’s idealized view of Kozuki Oden, the thieves attacked a grain convoy bound for the bandit-suppression army.
Good’s ambush badly weakened Shutenmaru’s bandits, but Shutenmaru escaped to his stronghold. Good tracked the wounded bandits to Atama Mountain and ordered his army to rest before attacking, leaving the reason for the delay unexplained.
Good’s forces set fire to Atama Mountain and attacked Shutenmaru’s stronghold while the bandits slept. Shutenmaru charged into the square as the burning hall became impossible to endure.
Good’s forces defeated Shutenmaru’s bandits, but Ushimitsu Kozō appeared and rescued Shutenmaru. Good recognized the long-sought thief and prepared to give Yamato a task.
Ushimitsu Kozō tried to help the badly wounded Shutenmaru escape, but they were trapped by Good’s forces. Shutenmaru was stabbed by Daikoku and detonated dynamite beside Good, while Ushimitsu Kozō remained in danger.
Good returned to the Flower Capital with Shutenmaru’s corpse and was celebrated by Orochi and Wano’s officials. He questioned Daikoku about Ushimitsu Kozō and began investigating the connection between the chivalrous thief and Shutenmaru.
Good suspected that Kyoshiro was a surviving retainer of Kozuki Oden and maneuvered Daikoku toward helping eliminate him, while the Spade Pirates arrived in Wano and Ace befriended the villagers of Amigasa Village. The chapter left Ace weaving hats with Tama as she asked why he had come to Wano.
Ace and the Spade Pirates set out to defeat Kaido and rescue the adults taken from Amigasa Village, while Good prepared to face Ace at Onigashima. Three days later, Ace’s crew reached the island, ready to attack.
Good mistook himself for Kaido to lure Ace to the Back Mountain, where they fought and Good transformed into Groudon. As the battle escalated, Good sensed that Groudon was absorbing Nature Power from Ace’s Flame-Flame Fruit.
