Pirate: Hades! ( One Piece)

## Chapter 276: The Fiery Madness of the Battle Pyramid and Byrnndi World

The Sword Tournament was still brewing, and riding this wave, Paros Island gradually became incredibly popular.

People aspiring for Beli, aspiring for Devil Fruits, or purely seeking to become stronger and spar with Strongman on the Great Sea, including Pirate, Hunter, Lone Wolf, and various races from the Great Sea, continuously gathered together.

Starting from the bottom level of the Battle Pyramid, they would constantly battle, climbing upwards, embarking on a journey to reach the Peak.

The World Economic Journal's newspaper had already provided a detailed introduction to the various Rules within the Battle Pyramid.

Every Competitor could register an identity within the Battle Pyramid, which could be their real name or a Codename.

Furthermore, before a duel, they could freely choose their clothing and masks.

Inside the Battle Pyramid, there were several large clothing factories, offering countless types and styles of clothing.

Advancement within the Battle Pyramid was determined by wins.

Out of ten duels, if the number of wins exceeded eight, meaning you had to win at least eight matches, it meant you could advance to a higher level.

If someone's Strength was excessively powerful, to avoid breaking the Balance, the Pluto Pirates had the Authority to allow them to directly advance to the upper levels.

Therefore, only those with more wins could reach higher levels, which also represented greater Strength.

This gradually stratified the Combatant Strength, with Competitors battling on higher levels possessing greater Strength.

Conversely, the opponents faced on higher levels would be stronger, and the rewards would also increase.

Without sufficient, desirable rewards, how could people be willing to continue battling?

Just for battling on the first level, the Pluto Pirates would offer a prize of 200,000 Beli, to be won by the victor.

It might not seem like much, but the higher the level, the more generous the prize money became.

Similarly, based on their Combat performance, the victor would also receive a certain number of Points.

Points were a special currency within the Battle Pyramid.

Points could be exchanged for Beli, or used for the Replacement of precious items like Devil Fruits.

Points also allowed for certain privileges, and some expenses within the Battle Pyramid could also be paid with Points.

One Point could be exchanged for 100,000 Beli.

However, for expenses within the Battle Pyramid, one Point was worth 150,000 Beli.

This was to encourage Competitors to spend their Points as much as possible, reduce the Accumulation of Points, and lessen the consumption of rewards within the Battle Pyramid.

The Battle Pyramid's daily profit methods included Arena tickets, setting up gambling, food within the Battle Pyramid, and various expenses.

Even if there were some Losses initially, with the prosperity of the Battle Pyramid, this money would eventually be earned back.

In just two months, the number of registered Competitors in the Battle Pyramid exceeded ten thousand, and those with stronger Strength had already reached the twelfth level of the Battle Pyramid.

This meant that twelve levels of the Battle Pyramid were open.

Thanks to the cooperation between the World Telephone Bug Group and the Chronos Kingdom, the Battles in the Battle Pyramid were Live Streaming.

Various Battle videos could be watched via Visual Den Den Mushi.

Just like watching television, by pressing a number, the video feed would switch to the Battle in the corresponding Arena.

This greatly enriched the daily lives of the people and kept the Battle Pyramid constantly maintaining extremely high popularity and attention.

Of course, the current Visual Den Den Mushi still had limitations, but in this Era, it was already quite advanced.

Further Development would continue, as the World Telephone Bug Group was in the process of continuous research.

"That guy World is getting crazier and crazier."

Hades looked at the Newspaper in his hand, which featured a photo of a Navy Branch in the New World.

The entire Navy Branch had been destroyed by terrifying Destructive Power of irresistible force, with Blood, bones, and tattered Cloaks of Justice scattered everywhere.

Correspondingly, there was the Figure of Byrnndi World laughing madly, with his Cadre following beside him.

As the new World now, Shiki "The Golden Lion" and Byrnndi World the Destroyer had the strongest influence on the Great Sea.

Golden Lion Shiki, relying on his massive Pirate Great Fleet and top-tier Strength, occupied the largest Territory in the New World.

Byrnndi World, on the other hand, relied on his desire for destruction that even Pirate feared.

The Byrnndi Pirates' Territory was not large because they rarely stationed themselves in their Territory, mostly moving around.

World was purposeless, simply enjoying destruction, perhaps due to his personality or the influence of his Devil Fruit.

Even when passing by an Island, he would accidentally cause some trouble.

The Byrnndi Pirates were spreading Fear, making even fellow Pirate feel afraid.

On the Great Sea, if Byrnndi World's Ship was spotted, ships would immediately turn around.

In the seemingly Peaceful New World of today, where many Great Pirate in the New World were not interested in actively confronting the World Government and Marines,

The Byrnndi Pirates were the only Great Pirate Crew hostile to the World Government.

The Bombardment by the Heavenly King clearly had an effect, bringing a hint of Shadow to the hearts of many Pirate.

Byrnndi World, however, didn't care about any of this.

As a former Core Cadre, Division Captain, and Commander of a vast number of Pirate in the Rocks Pirates, Byrnndi World could be said to be one of the examples for many Great Pirate.

Such experience meant Byrnndi World wouldn't casually attack Pirate, unless they actively provoked him.

His Target naturally became the World Government.

Two World Government Member Nation suffered invasion and plunder by the Byrnndi Pirate Crew.

Sengoku, who received the News, arrived in time and blocked Byrnndi World's invasion.

Even so, it caused huge casualties and Losses.

The Byrnndi Pirate Crew were not as massive as the Flying Pirates, but relying on Byrnndi World's Strength and Prestige, the Byrnndi Pirate Crew also possessed an eight thousand-person Great Fleet.

If it were just Byrnndi World, Sengoku could completely resist him.

During the War, they had fought against each other multiple times, and they were even opponents during the God Valley Great Battle.

However, a massive Pirate Great Fleet was not easy to deal with.

After two Great Battles, the Byrnndi Pirate Crew suffered Losses exceeding three thousand.

The Marines also suffered Losses of several thousand Soldiers.

After the two Great Battles, Byrnndi World seemed to have clashed with the Marines and the World Government, either targeting Navy Branch or World Government Member Nation.

Such behavior was as if returning to the Era of the Rocks Pirates.

Byrnndi World was like a mad dog biting people randomly, making the World Government and Marines feel very troubled.

There was about a year and a half until the World Conference, and the World Government hoped the Great Sea would remain Stable.

The Marines even more needed to Recover Strength, placing their focus on the Four Seas.

After the Four Seas stabilized, and after the World Conference ended and they obtained a Military Budget, they would prepare to start Recruitment.

Several Navy Branch in the entire New World had already been destroyed by the Byrnndi Pirate Crew.

The Marines had to retreat their Faction.

The Byrnndi Pirate Crew, like a hungry Wolf, constantly wandered in the New World Front.

For this reason, Sengoku had to leave the First Half of the Grand Line and be permanently stationed in the New World Front, staring intently at the Byrnndi Pirate Crew, ready to Snipe them upon appearance.

The various Faction and Great Pirate in the New World were very happy to see the Byrnndi Pirate Crew hostile to the Marines.

It not only weakened the Marines but also weakened the Byrnndi Pirate Crew.

"What is Byrnndi World searching for?"

In front of Hades was a movement trajectory map of the Byrnndi Pirate Crew in the New World Front, connected by a thick red line.

From the perspective of the Staff Headquarters, the Byrnndi Pirate Crew's movement was not purposeless; they were actually sweeping through various Island in the New World Front.

This included some uninhabited, Secret Island.

It might not be obvious in the short term, but after a long time, it became somewhat suspicious.

The Byrnndi Pirate Crew had stayed in the New World Front for over two months.

It was very obvious that Byrnndi World was searching for a certain thing.

The so-called madness was just a facade.

The underlying purpose was worth noting.

Based on his understanding of World, it was most likely a certain Weapon with immense power.

"Dynamite Rock? Or a Heavenly King?"

These were the only two things Hades could think of for now.

"It seems he also obtained some things in God Valley."

"Closely monitor the Byrnndi Pirate Crew's Intelligence, and at the same time pay attention to the actions of the World Government and the Marines."

Hades marked notes.

Currently, his main Energy was focused on Paros Island and the upcoming Sword Tournament.

No matter what Byrnndi World did, it would eventually be exposed.
