Chapter 779: Esdeath
On the other side, aboard the silver-white steel warship, which seemed like the opposite extreme to the Army warship.
The young Esdeath stood at the bow, gazing out at the Great Sea in the distance, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.
She wore a specially made white short-skirted military uniform paired with white long boots.
Her delicate, pretty face was full of cold arrogance, like a ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus from the peak of the Tianshan Mountains, aloof and thorny.
Her figure was slender, with a pair of long legs.
A longsword hung at her waist, and her ice-blue long hair cascaded down to her calves.
The Soldiers behind her looked at her with only reverence and fanaticism, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
She was the daughter of "Pluto" Hades, the Princess of the Kronos Kingdom.
The most noble "Ice Phoenix" Esdeath in the Military!
Upon receiving news of the Pirate Alliance Army's arrival, Esdeath was already impatient to take action.
This was the prey she had set her sights on.
Therefore, she specifically requested to go with Barrett.
Life within the Kingdom was not boring; there were professional training methods and various Strongmen.
She could find an opponent at any time.
Her elder brothers, the Strongmen cultivated by the Kingdom, and even her father Hades.
Along the way, ever since she obtained the Devil Fruit, Esdeath had been growing rapidly.
The Mythical Zoan Ice Phoenix Fruit, this precious Devil Fruit that Hades obtained from the Rocks Treasure Vault, perfectly suited Esdeath.
It perfectly matched the Ice Human Race bloodline within Esdeath's body; the combination of the two was simply blessed by nature.
Some powerful special bloodlines combined with Top-tier Devil Fruits often have an effect where one plus one is greater than two.
This is basically always the case with Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits.
Growing up in such an environment, Esdeath, without exception, always maintained the level of an outstanding individual among her peers.
However, the Kronos Kingdom was, in a sense, also a restraint on them.
There were few opportunities to go outside the Kronos Kingdom's Sea Area.
Therefore, Hades had so many children who wanted to venture out onto the Great Sea and adventure; this was also for the Kingdom's interests.
Of course, within the Kronos Kingdom, within the Pluto Sea Area, one could, in a sense, come into contact with the entire World.
Through Visual Den Den Mushi, one could also observe the situations around the world.
Nowadays, many adventurers on the Great Sea record their experiences using Visual Den Den Mushi and then make them public for everyone to watch.
However, Esdeath was still very curious about the Pirates on the Great Sea.
It wasn't that she hadn't encountered them before.
She inherently enjoyed the work of patrolling the Great Sea.
As soon as there was a Pirate invasion, she could set off immediately.
Moreover, over the years, the number of Pirates she had dealt with was not small, but few could pose a threat to her.
As she grew rapidly, this threat became weaker and weaker.
Generally, the place she visited most often was the Extreme Cold Zone where the Ice Human Race lived.
There was not only the Ice Country but also a few other Kingdoms, and Tribes that survived by hunting in the ice and snow.
In the Extreme Cold Zone, there were various extremely dangerous creatures and powerful wild beasts.
It could be said that the Factions capable of surviving in the extreme cold were basically not weak.
Even without those world-class monsters, if outsiders came looking for trouble, most would be expelled.
Furthermore, very few people knew.
"Blaze, the King of Hell" and his terrifying Undead Legion were dormant in the Extreme Cold Zone, secretly observing the entire World.
She had stayed in the Ice Country for two years.
There, she learned to control the strength of the Ice Human Race, developed her own ability in the ice and snow, and practiced using her ice control ability.
At the same time, she was influenced by the thought of "survival of the fittest" and "only the strong can survive" in that harsh environment.
To be able to become the Princess of the Ice Country and the recognized "Ice Witch," Esdeath relied not only on her powerful potential and bloodline but also on her outstanding performance.
Without a strong inner heart, merely possessing potential wouldn't make it so easy to grow up.
Undoubtedly, Esdeath would become the youngest Marine Admiral in the entire Kingdom.
As for Barrett, he was an Army General.
And wanting to break Barrett's record could be said to be an impossible feat.
Currently, Barrett was twenty-two years old.
And when he became an Army General, he was only nineteen.
Even if Esdeath was fast, it would still take two to three years.
"His Highness, let's go inside. There's still quite some time before we rendezvous with Barrett Shogun and encounter those Pirates."
The Adjutant beside her advised from behind.
"Please call me Shogun!"
Esdeath frowned slightly.
She didn't dislike the title, as it was a symbol of her identity.
However, when outside, performing a Mission, she preferred the title Shogun.
"Yes, Shogun!"
The Adjutant behind her gave a serious salute.
Towards Esdeath, his heart was filled with reverence.
Esdeath was very cruel when dealing with enemies; she rarely left captives among the Pirates she encountered.
However, she was very generous towards her subordinates, always distributing the treasure plundered from those Pirate Captains among them and even eating with them.
Within the Military, or in daily life, Esdeath was still very approachable.
"Call me when we rendezvous with Barrett."
After speaking, Esdeath entered the room.
"Full speed ahead! Don't keep Esdeath Shogun waiting!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, all the Soldiers on the warship entered a state of fanatical readiness.
News Coos followed the Pirate Alliance Army, broadcasting the live feed around the world.
The massive Pirate Alliance Army, a large Force of six thousand people, over a dozen Pirate Crews, and nearly twenty various Pirate Ships sailed on the Great Sea.
There weren't actually many people paying attention to this live streaming.
A Pirate Fleet of six thousand people was nothing compared to the epic large-scale battles of the past.
The three Great Pirates leading the charge still had considerable reputation in the New World, but what about the entire World?
Many people had never even heard of them.
These were all Great Pirates who had grown up in the thirteen years after the Rocks Pirates disbanded and before the start of the Great Pirate Era.
Their sharpness was completely overshadowed by those Top-tier Monsters.
In the Bloody Battle, they were also relatively inconspicuous existences.
Because very few people would pay attention to them.
Attention was basically focused on the Top-tier Monsters who determined the outcome of the battle.
Upon entering the Kronos Kingdom's Sphere of Influence, there was no obstruction at all along the way.
Occasionally, one or two special warships would appear in the distance, but they didn't approach at all, directly ignoring them.
Only when the Pirate Fleet changed its target and attacked other Islands in the surrounding Sea Area would they take action.
