Chapter 502: The Second Batch of Children (1)
The Tyrant Pirate Group led by "Tyrant" Grado is lying dormant in the East Sea of the Kronos Kingdom.
Furthermore, the sea area ruled by "Breath of the Storm" Goenitz is also located in the East of the Kronos Kingdom.
Leveraging this, the Kronos Kingdom's tentacles are extending towards the farther East Sea.
In the North, the Kingdom Army swept through in just a few short years, bringing the entire region completely under the Kronos Kingdom's control.
Tartaros Barrett, only eighteen years old, is recognized as a monster within the army and already holds multiple titles such as Vice Admiral, Admiral Candidate, and Pillar of the Kingdom.
He is undoubtedly the leading figure among the young generals within the army.
Regarding the West, the Big Mom Pirates do not possess ruling power over the vast sea area, so the Kronos Kingdom naturally became involved.
They will not obstruct the kingdom's trade operations.
The Kronos Kingdom has secretly controlled some islands and the factions within them, requiring them only to pay a regular protection fee.
This also saved the Big Mom Pirates a lot of trouble.
Furthermore, the Kronos Kingdom would not openly send people into the Big Mom Pirates' territory.
Although the vast sea area is the Big Mom Pirates' territory, it is not a core sea area, so it cannot be said to be absolutely peaceful.
Conflicts between factions and fierce fighting between pirates are not uncommon, and the Big Mom Pirates do not particularly manage this.
Regardless, in the end, tribute must be paid to the Big Mom Pirates.
As time passed, most of Hades' second batch of children also began to grow up.
Some even ventured out onto the great sea early on.
The twenty-second son, Kazu, began traveling across the great sea at the age of fifteen, venturing out alone.
His reputation is temporarily not well-known, and even Hades doesn't know where he is now, though he occasionally sends messages to Hades recounting some experiences and interesting stories.
However, Hades is not worried about Kazu's life being in danger; as a Cell-Cell Fruit User, capable of transforming into any creature and integrating the strengths of all creatures, he is an "Ultimate Lifeform".
He can ascend to the sky, descend into the earth, and even enter the sea.
Creating a special outer layer similar to Coating around his body, like "King of Monsters" Typhon does, is not difficult for Kazu.
The twenty-third son, Raymond, did not follow his older brother to join the Tyrant Pirate Group.
Instead, he established a faction similar to a gang organization in the Isolation Zone between the Flying Pirates and the Kronos Kingdom.
Possessing the Dragonoid Race Bloodline and being an Ancient Zoan Styracosaurus Fruit User, Raymond has enough potential to become a Regional Overlord.
The Isolation Zone between the West and the Big Mom Pirates is completely under the Kronos Kingdom's control.
The Big Mom Pirates also do not have such strong ruling power to threaten the kingdom.
The only areas left to conquer are the South and the East.
Especially the Isolation Zone in the East, which is the Kronos Kingdom's primary target.
Yashiro, a cadre under Ignis, is located in the area within the Isolation Zone between the Kronos Kingdom and Goenitz's ruled territory.
The special gang named "Earth Gang", after two years of development, has completely established a foothold under Yashiro's powerful might.
They also have the support of Sound Nest in secret, and Goenitz is also providing assistance.
The sea area where Raymond is located and Yashiro's area are connected, so they know each other well and don't need to worry about anything.
To avoid conflicts, Ignis even gave a prior warning after learning about Raymond's development direction.
One develops towards the North, and the other develops towards the South, like well water not interfering with river water.
The seventh daughter is Mobius, Möbius's younger sister.
Along with the ninth daughter Elise, the tenth daughter Evelyn, and the eleventh daughter Evran, the three sisters.
The four of them have no intention of staying inside the kingdom, nor do they want to be too far from the kingdom, and they have no interest in adventure.
Therefore, the four of them entered a well-known faction in the Pluto Sea Area, secretly controlled by the Kronos Kingdom, established to suppress the development of the Pleasure Quarter, called the "Witch's Feast".
Next, they will start working from ordinary management, and after understanding all aspects of the "Witch's Feast", they will then become core management.
This is the path they will take.
After they decided on this path, it was already fully planned out.
The twenty-fourth son, Cody, possesses the Three-Eyed Tribe Bloodline and is a Paramecia Type Eye-Eye Fruit User.
He possesses multiple abilities such as ultra-long distance vision, clairvoyance, and Mind Reading Art.
Compared to the Gaze-Gaze Fruit, the only flaw is the lack of the four-thousand-kilometer radius of vision with no blind spots.
However, Cody can create eyes, detach them from his body and place them in a corner, just like the Flower-Flower Fruit User creating arms.
This can serve as surveillance and greatly expands Cody's vision range, and it is also more flexible compared to the Gaze-Gaze Fruit.
All the images seen through the eyes are transmitted into Cody's brain.
For the Kronos Kingdom, they possess various surveillance and sensing type technology.
But Cody's ability still holds a strategic role for the Kronos Kingdom.
After all, Cody's ability requires no cost.
Currently, Cody has joined You Ming, doing intelligence work, traveling around various places in the Pluto Sea Area, or leaving the Pluto Sea Area, continuously laying out his informants.
The twenty-sixth son, Garon, is a Paramecia Type Puppet-Puppet Fruit User.
As Saga's younger brother, he follows Saga in guarding the Sky Arena together.
He possesses the ability to turn people into puppets, whether they are dead or alive.
In the Sky Arena, besides the Giant Tribe Gatekeepers, a unique sight has appeared over the years: faceless people covered in steel armor.
And their origin is known to everyone, or rather, the Kronos Kingdom has not concealed it.
They are all pirates or other people who caused trouble in the Pluto Sea Area in the past.
After the Pluto Pirates sent people to deal with them, they did not directly kill them.
As ability users, their Devil Fruits would first be recovered through Titan's Devouring Space for Devil Fruit Recovery.
Afterwards, Garon would use his Puppet-Puppet Fruit Ability to make them into puppets.
They cannot control their own bodies and do not know if they are alive or dead.
Turned into puppets, they have no names, and even their bodies have been modified to have no faces.
These puppets are also divided into two levels.
Those with stronger strength serve as guards for the Sky Arena and are also called "Faceless One".
As for those with ordinary strength, they are basically used for manual labor such as mining and construction.
This is also a form of deterrence, regarding the origin of the Faceless One, regarding the birth of the Faceless One.
It makes people not dare to provoke the Pluto Pirates; these Faceless One are their fate.
Up until now, the Sky Arena already has over one thousand Faceless One Guards.
This is the accumulation of many years, adding up to an astonishing strength.
More importantly, strictly speaking, the Faceless One who have become puppets are no longer true life.
When not in action, they are equivalent to being in a dormant state.
In this condition, their bodily functions, and even their life, are in a calm state until they are activated.
If calculated by lifespan, it is equivalent to another form of life extension.
The usage authority for these puppets is held in Garon's hands, and commands can be set in advance to allow others to have the ability to command the Faceless One.
Of course, Garon's ability is not limited to living puppets.
Corpses can be made into puppets, and machinery can also be made into puppets.
The most crucial part of the Puppet-Puppet Fruit is actually the Puppet Core created by the ability.
This is a special Ability Creation, and it is not a physical form.
Only Haki can resist the Puppet Core entering the body.
But once the Puppet Core enters the body, it is equivalent to having one's life and death controlled by others, becoming a puppet.
At that time, one cannot even resist.
After becoming a puppet, unless Garon actively releases them, there is no second way to be freed.
Because Garon places the location of the Puppet Core at the heart.
If one wants to shatter the Puppet Core, one must first shatter the heart.
