# Chapter 778: Barrett Takes Action
Ten Trade Port Island were scattered in a circular pattern across the Northern Sea Area of the Kronos Kingdom.
The Island were separated by a distance of nearly a hundred kilometers.
Even by ship, it would take two to three hours.
However, for the warships of the Kronos Kingdom, it only took half an hour.
In this World where ships could make right-angle turns and rapidly sway left and right, like driving a car.
Seemingly ordinary Pirate Ship contained many peculiar technologies.
These were all nurtured on the Great Sea over thousands of years.
The struggle between the Marines and Pirate, in a sense, also promoted the advancement of technology.
For the vast majority of Pirate and Resident Around the World, ships were already the highest technology they could access.
Yes, ships were considered a type of high technology, at least in Hades's perception.
Compared to his previous life, many operations were impossible to achieve, completely violating Newtonian physics.
And in the center of this Sea Area, stood an Army Fortress.
On the wide Training Ground, Army Soldier sparred with each other, while others trained in corners or in specialized Training Room.
In the center of the Training Ground, there was a black building resembling a Cage.
The seemingly sealed space constantly vibrated.
Dong!
Dong!
Violent impacts echoed continuously from inside the black building.
Perhaps the strength was too terrifying, even the ground outside the Training Ground trembled uncontrollably.
This was a Gravity Room.
It was moved outside because the movements of the person training inside were too terrifying, affecting other buildings.
After a long while, the Gravity Room gradually became peaceful.
The sealed door slowly opened, accompanied by thick Hakumai.
A tall, extremely muscular figure walked out from the swirling mist.
Thick golden hair was spread behind him.
His upper body was bare, revealing explosive muscles and a powerful steel-like physique.
An invisible, terrifying deterrence emanated from him, like a sleeping lion ready to erupt at any moment.
"Admiral Barrett, this is a command from His Majesty the Emperor."
An Adjutant, standing just outside in a black military uniform with gold trim in a court style, held a document in his hand and presented it.
The Adjutant to the Admiral of the Kronos Kingdom were Strongman with Vice Admiral Rank, possessing the ability to handle administrative affairs and leaning towards being civil officials.
This was standard.
It reduced the stress on Admiral in handling administrative matters, allowing them more time to improve their strength.
After all, strength was everything; there was no need to waste time on trivial matters.
Having graduated from the Royal Military Academy, Barrett was an extremely outstanding individual in all aspects.
He only needed to focus on major events.
The perfectly tailored uniform had a beautiful silhouette.
He wore a dark military cap and white gloves, looking very imposing and full of Noble temperament.
And it did not affect battle.
In the Kronos Kingdom's Military, the military uniform often represented a person's identity.
The military uniform of every General were custom-made by top tailors and could also reflect personal style and characteristics based on requirements.
Barrett had a relatively strict schedule, so his Adjutant did not disturb him without permission.
The news of the Pirate Alliance Army's attack had actually spread within the Kingdom Army immediately.
Basically, all the high-ranking General knew about it.
However, everyone was very peaceful because they knew that the so-called Pirate Alliance Army could not cause any trouble.
They just needed to wait for Hades's command.
To see who the Emperor wanted to handle this small trouble.
"Hmm! Capture them alive? It doesn't say they need to be completely unharmed, right?"
Taking the document, Barrett scanned it with a glance.
"Yes, Shogun! You just need to ensure they are alive. For the few Pirate who dared to challenge the Kingdom, sparing their lives is already His Majesty's mercy," the Adjutant said softly, a smile in his eyes.
"Then don't stop them. Let the Marines let these Pirate in. Old Man will personally take care of them."
Hearing the Adjutant's explanation, Barrett clenched his fists, a ferocious smile appearing on his face.
His prolonged limit training had caused his skin surface to become congested.
Coupled with Barrett's naturally reddish skin, he looked like a Red Demon at this moment.
Within the Military, Barrett had the title "Red Demon" in his early days.
"There's one more thing, Shogun. General Esdeath specifically requested to join this operation."
"Oh? If she wants to participate, let her come."
Barrett agreed, not surprised by this news.
Esdeath was a battle maniac herself.
At just eighteen years old, she had already become a Marine Vice Admiral.
She was one of the most famous young Monster within the Military.
Furthermore, as Hades's daughter, she naturally had privilege.
Esdeath could also be considered his sister, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Since this news was conveyed, it meant the Emperor did not object.
This was also a good opportunity for training.
Moreover, this kind of matter should inherently be handled by the Marines.
Although the Kingdom's Military was divided into Marines and Army, they essentially belonged to the same system.
Unlike the Marines and Army of the World Government.
"Perfect, her ability can play a role."
"We will completely crush them on the Great Sea!"
"Have the Soldier prepare, Jellal. We will officially depart in one hour."
"Also, notify Esdeath to come and meet up with me."
Barrett quickly issued commands, simultaneously striding towards the washroom.
After training, he needed to wash his body.
Ten minutes later, Barrett had changed into a black military uniform with a relatively stern style.
On his shoulders and chest were various medals, representing the honors he had earned in the Military over the years.
The real medals were naturally kept in storage.
These medals were specially embroidered.
Gold trim and dark dragon patterns symbolized the Tartarus Family.
White gloves covered his fists, which were full of strength.
With the fierce gaze of a "Demon," he donned the cloak representing an Army Admiral.
Barrett strode towards the warship already prepared on the Coast.
Soldier lined up in formation, standing on both sides of the path.
As Barrett walked through the middle of the formation and boarded the warship, a thousand Soldier orderly followed behind and boarded the warship.
The solemn and majestic Army warship, primarily black, resembled a ferocious giant beast on the Sea.
In the Kronos Kingdom's Military, very few people owned exclusive warships.
Barrett, as an Army Admiral, was undoubtedly one of them.
The bow of the ship had a ferocious beast head with terrifying fangs, symbolizing Barrett's powerful Devil Fruit Ability.
The flag of the Kronos Kingdom fluttered high.
As the warship started, it made a ninety-degree turn on the spot, then quickly sailed towards the East Sea.
"How far away is Marine Vice Admiral Esdeath from us?"
"We will depart first. They should meet up with us in about three hours."
"What about the Pirate?"
"They are about to reach our sphere of influence. The Marine Patrol Team will let them in directly according to the General's requirement."
"If nothing unexpected happens, we should encounter them around noon tomorrow."
