Pirate: Hades! ( One Piece)

Chapter 274: Choices (1)

Kronos Kingdom Royal Palace.

This was a rare holiday for the Royal Military Academy.

"Where did that guy Broly go?"

Young Kyle, the nineteenth son of Hades, who inherited his mother's beautiful golden hair, sat on a stone chair in the pavilion, looking at his older brother, Jörmungandr, asked.

"Does that even need asking?

Broly, Grado, Yates, Drax, and the others ran off to the Beast Zone."

"Kasa, Kazu, Barrett, and a few others all went to the Army Base for training."

Jörmungandr stretched lazily, saying with a hint of envy, "Seriously, it's a rare holiday, but they go for training every time instead of relaxing a bit.

Don't they know about balancing work and rest?"

"I heard Barrett is aiming to become an Army General, and the others want to venture out onto Great Sea."

"I can't do that.

With my ability, Father won't allow me to leave the Kingdom freely."

"Now, I'm starting to regret eating the Mirror-Mirror Fruit."

How could Kyle and his siblings not understand Jörmungandr's thoughts?

They just smiled and didn't say anything.

Compared to the Kronos Kingdom, Great Sea wasn't mysterious to them, but it held an equally strong attraction.

After all, their Father, Hades, had grown up on Great Sea, and deep down, they also wanted to see the wider World.

"Everything is based on strength.

When you reach that degree and can handle any danger, there won't be such restrictions, Jörmungandr."

"With your Mirror-Mirror Fruit ability, you can escape anytime."

Laughter came from the side.

Ignis, with long golden hair and wearing a deep purple battle suit, approached continuously, his body strangely floating in the air.

He came before them and slowly stood on the ground.

"I just finished seeing Mother.

Saga went to the Gravity Room for training.

I heard you were here, so I came over to take a look."

"Oh!

Ignis, what are your and Saga's plans?"

Jörmungandr asked curiously.

Also inheriting the bloodline of the Elf Race, Ignis and Saga were handsome, one with golden hair, the other with blue hair.

Their appearance didn't have the pointed ears of the Elf Race.

If no one explained, you wouldn't know that they actually contained the Elf Race bloodline within their bodies.

As two of Hades' most outstanding children, both possessed top-tier talent and Devil Fruit ability.

Jörmungandr and the others were very curious about their future choices.

Jörmungandr himself was a given.

Many of the Kingdom's forces and aspects were related to his Mirror World.

It could be said that the Mirror World was connected to the growth of the Kronos Kingdom.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would also be involved in related affairs in the future.

And the others could also get some reference from this.

Although only just over ten years old, these outstanding children of Hades had already begun considering their future.

Family, Kingdom, Great Sea Situation, their mutual connections—some things they understood very early on.

Before entering the Royal Military Academy, they began to learn.

This was knowledge that other Royal Military Academy students couldn't learn.

As members of the Tartarus Family, their future, perspective, and structure were destined to be different from others right from the start.

Hades had also told them about this beforehand.

"Saga plans to stay in the Kronos Kingdom, but doesn't want it to be too boring.

He has the idea of guarding the Battle Pyramid, or perhaps just remaining hidden in the shadows."

"Older Brother Kasa might become the new Captain of the Pluto Pirates.

No matter what, the Pluto Pirates must maintain sufficient deterrence.

Tyr will probably follow Older Brother, just like Uncle Titan."

"During non-war periods, the Kingdom's Military is still a bit dull.

Many of the children of those Uncles will join the Pluto Pirates."

"As time passes and age increases, in another ten or twenty years, some of the older Uncles in the current Pluto Pirates, like Edge and Calloway, will inevitably see their strength decline."

"Without sufficient strength, they will definitely attract the covetous eyes of other Pirate.

To ensure deterrence, the Pluto Pirates are destined to constantly replenish their ranks, giving birth to new blood."

"Joining the Pluto Pirates is a good choice."

"As for Dexiu, he'll probably work in Hades.

The Cabinet or Staff Headquarters are also possibilities."

Ignis rubbed his chin, thinking slightly, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

"As for me?

I might work in Hades, or I might just create an organization myself for fun."

As he said this, a light chuckle came.

"What do you mean, joining Hades?

You already made your decision a long time ago, Older Brother Ignis.

I accidentally saw it!

You've even written down the organization's name and structure.

Let me think, what was it called?"

Turning to look, it was actually Ignis's younger brother, Abraham.

Before Abraham could finish speaking, Ignis appeared behind him.

The gap in age and strength made it impossible for Abraham to resist, and his mouth was directly covered.

Looking at Ignis's face, it was actually a bit dark.

Only when Abraham's eyes told Ignis he wouldn't speak did Ignis let go.

Ignis's idea was very interesting—creating his own Faction organization.

It gave them some ideas.

However, this wasn't without precedent.

Some younger brothers even wanted to form their own Pirate Crew and venture out onto Great Sea.

Or join a top-tier Pirate Crew for training.

There was also a shadow of Hades' own experiences in this.

In essence, it was all the same: making a name for themselves on Great Sea.

Hades was very encouraging of such ideas.

Currently, it was difficult for the Pluto Pirates' Territory to expand further, according to the Agreement made between the World Government and the Kronos Kingdom.

Currently, the Pluto Pirates held Territory encompassing over 180 Island.

Before the World Government and the Kronos Kingdom signed the Agreement, the Pluto Pirates had occupied some more Island.

Clearly, the Kronos Kingdom had no plan to violate it.

This wasn't mere occupation; it represented a completely different meaning compared to a Pirate's occupation.

These over 180 Island would require a considerable amount of time just to manage and integrate.

Furthermore, the Pluto Pirates' Territory was already sufficient to satisfy the Kronos Kingdom.

Extending from the northern to central parts of the New World, it formed a vertical oval shape, providing the Kronos Kingdom with significant strategic depth.

Moreover, only the Pluto Pirates' Territory was unable to expand, which didn't mean there weren't other methods.

For example, forming another Pirate Crew or establishing other Factions.

Through these methods, they could continue expanding their Territory in the shadows.
