Chapter 777: Hades' Trouble? The Pirate Alliance Army's Attack
"Admiral, it seems 'Pluto' is having some trouble."
After dealing with the matters concerning the Criminals from Impel Down, Reinhardt finally revealed a piece of news that was incredibly surprising.
"Oh? Which Pluto?"
Hearing this, Shiki became a little curious.
Over the years, quite a few Pirates have made moves in the Pluto Sea Area or the Territory of the Kronos Kingdom, but none have managed to cause much trouble.
Many were quickly suppressed and then disappeared without a trace.
None were able to cause a major stir.
As for why Shiki asked that, one 'Pluto' represents the Pluto Pirates, while the other 'Pluto' represents "Pluto" Hades.
"It's Hades!"
"What happened?"
Shiki wouldn't miss out on something like watching a show, especially since it concerned Hades.
There's a lot of news about the Pluto Sea Area, but very little information about the Kronos Kingdom is revealed.
"More than a dozen Pirate Crews, led by three large Pirate Crews, have formed a Pirate Alliance Army of six thousand people, aiming to plunder a certain Trade Island belonging to the Kronos Kingdom."
"It's said they somehow got news that a batch of goods contains three tons of gold."
Three tons of gold, on the Great Sea, is worth well over ten billion Beli.
No wonder these Pirates joined forces.
A Pirate Fleet of six thousand people, this power is quite formidable in the New World.
Even the Top-Tier Pirate Crews would pay some attention.
After all, it might lead to a Top-tier Monster taking action personally.
Of course, for a Top Power like the Flying Pirates, it's nothing at all.
They don't even have the qualification to make "Golden Lion" Shiki take action.
"Gurarararara! These youngsters really don't know what they're doing, daring to provoke that guy Hades."
Hearing Reinhardt's explanation, "Golden Lion" Shiki couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Are they blinded by interests? Or do they simply not know that Hades is behind the Port Trade Island?"
"Perhaps a bit of both," Reinhardt chuckled lightly.
No one believed that a small Pirate Alliance Army could cause any trouble for the Trade Island.
However, such a high-profile action also gave them something entertaining to watch.
"It's said the Kronos Kingdom has a powerful Kingdom Army in that Sea Area, right? This time they should take action. It'll be a good chance to see the power Hades commands."
Shiki knew about that Kingdom Army, but he didn't know much; it was mysterious and powerful.
They were active in the vast Northern Sea Area of the Kronos Kingdom, and their figures could often be seen.
Passing Pirates could only travel along fixed Sea Routes.
If they deviated from the Sea Route, they would be expelled or directly destroyed.
Through the descriptions of the Factions that frequently passed through the Trade Island, some Intelligence could be obtained.
The Army in black uniforms and the Marines in blue and white uniforms.
However, they hadn't exhibited overly powerful combat strength.
They also rarely interacted with other Factions.
The most frequent contact was with the Army stationed at the Port Island.
Each Island had combat power at the Marine Vice Admiral level, which was enough to demonstrate the strength of the Kronos Kingdom's Military.
This was just the tip of the iceberg.
Aside from the Pluto Pirates.
Besides "Pluto" Hades and "Glutton" Titan, Zoro and Zoffy, two Top Tier Combatants, had also been revealed.
Not including Hades' Children, it was unknown how much power was still hidden.
In Shiki's view, such a Pirate Alliance Army didn't even have the qualification to make Hades and Titan take action.
Perhaps they would get to see the appearance of other Powerful Combatants.
Although there had been many rumors in that Sea Area, especially those related to Barrett during the rapid Expansion period.
But there were actually no real photos or footage evidence.
Under certain Unspoken Rules, the World Economic Journal wouldn't specifically arrange News Coos in the Northern Sea Area of the Kronos Kingdom.
This wasn't news that the World was paying attention to.
It was also the Top Powers on the Great Sea who were all casting their gaze towards the Northern Sea Area of the Kronos Kingdom.
Anything related to Hades and the Kronos Kingdom was enough to pique their curiosity.
Even if they couldn't cause any impact on Hades.
Even the World Economic Journal, unwilling to be outdone, started a live broadcast, specifically arranging News Coos to follow the Pirate Fleet into the Northern Sea Area of the Kronos Kingdom.
The Captain of the Spin Pirate Group, Bounty 620 million Beli, Paramecia Type Spin-Spin Fruit Ability User, "Spin King" Lillard.
A Powerful Monster capable of rotating the Air to cause Tornadoes and rotating the Great Sea to cause Whirlpools.
The Captain of the Dragonfly Pirate Group, Bounty 560 million Beli, "Dragonfly" Pierce, Ancient Zoan Ancient Dragonfly Fruit Ability User.
The Captain of the Blood Axe Pirate Group, Bounty 660 million Beli, "Blood Axe" Creswell.
These three are all well-known Great Pirates in the New World.
In most Top Powers, they could become Powerful Combatants serving as Core Cadres.
This Pirate Alliance Army, targeting gold worth over ten billion Beli, is led by large Pirate Crews commanded by these three Great Pirates.
The Captains of the remaining dozen or so Pirate Crews in the Pirate Alliance Army also have bounties exceeding 100 million Beli.
This is enough to show that this is a formidable force, one that Top Powers like the Beast Pirates and Tyrant Dragon Pirates would need to take seriously.
They would need to respond seriously; if the Captain didn't take action, the losses would be significant, after all, it's a Pirate Fleet of six thousand people.
They aren't greenhorns either; they've experienced brutal Bloody Battles and hold a place in the Chaotic Sea Area.
"Honestly, what are they thinking..."
Clearly, Hades didn't take this matter seriously.
In his eyes, the three Great Pirates were ultimately just small fries, posing no Threat to the Kronos Kingdom.
In fact, even before this Pirate Fleet was fully formed and had departed from the Chaotic Sea Area, the Kronos Kingdom had already received the news.
Satellites close to Space had already locked onto their location.
They were heading North through the Isolation Zone between the Pluto Pirates and the Flying Pirates.
If he wanted, a single long-range Missile could easily destroy this Pirate Alliance Army.
However, he didn't want to exhibit too much advanced technology.
Furthermore, this Pirate Alliance Army still had value, specifically their Devil Fruit abilities.
The Spin-Spin Fruit and the Ancient Zoan Dragonfly Fruit are both relatively excellent abilities.
Especially the Spin-Spin Fruit, which has an extremely high potential ceiling.
What if it could rotate Magnetic Fields?
This is conceivable.
The arrival of this Pirate Alliance Army was actually a good thing for them.
For a long time, Hades had the idea of going to war with other Factions, such as the Big Mom Pirates, the John Pirates, or other Factions.
This didn't happen as expected.
The John Pirates were destroyed, the Silver Axe Pirates migrated, and the Big Mom Pirates secretly formed a Marriage Alliance with the Kronos Kingdom.
Now is a great opportunity to show the strength of the Kronos Kingdom early and deter other Factions on the Great Sea.
To completely prevent future troubles.
Currently, the power the Kronos Kingdom exhibits on the surface is already very powerful, but excluding the Pluto Pirates, it's still not enough.
The Pluto Pirates only protect the Pluto Sea Area.
What about the Kronos Kingdom and the Northern Sea Area? They also need powerful combatants with sufficient deterrence to guard them.
And the Kingdom's Military, along with some selected individuals within it, can take this opportunity to make their appearance.
As for the candidates, Hades already had the answer in mind.
Army General Tartaros Barrett.
"The Kingdom's Military shouldn't be unknown, should it?"
