Pirate: Hades! ( One Piece)

Chapter 277: Third Meeting with Redfield

One month before the Sword Tournament, a mysterious guest arrived at the Kronos Kingdom.

Hades personally received him, which showed how much he valued him.

Long blood-red hair, two braids hanging down his chest, a signature outfit, a violet blooming on his chest, and a bat umbrella in his hand.

It was clear that Redfield had arrived at the Kronos Kingdom.

Inside the luxurious living room, Hades and Redfield sat facing each other.

Last time, Hades seemed to have said something similar.

During the Great Battle at God Valley.

Counting it up, this was their third meeting.

Each time they met, Hades' identity would undergo astonishing changes.

The first time, Hades was still a young Monster who hadn't yet joined the Rocks Pirates, already exhibiting terrifying potential and strength.

However, at that time, Redfield hadn't paid too much attention.

More than ten years had passed since their next meeting, and Hades had grown into a Core Cadre Division Captain of the Rocks Pirates, the Captain of the Pluto Pirates, famous throughout Great Sea, "Pluto" Hades.

By then, Hades was already a world's top tier Monster, his growth rate too astonishing.

Even on The Great Sea, Redfield often paid attention to news of Hades.

Only two years had passed since that Battle.

Hades was already the King of the Kronos Kingdom.

"Hades, what do you need from me?"

Redfield's expression was calm, his eyes seeming to want to see through Hades' inner thoughts.

However, in front of Hades, Redfield's mind reading was ineffective.

It wasn't completely useless, but the current Hades was strictly guarding against Redfield.

If they were truly in the middle of combat, Hades would inevitably reveal some thoughts.

However, when Hades entered a true combat state and fought using instinct, Redfield's mind reading would completely lose its effect.

Both of them were Monsters who were born with Observation Haki Awakening.

Regarding their relationship, they had only met twice before this.

The first time they had no interaction, and the second time Hades found him and utilized his strength.

But similarly, he also rescued his clansmen.

To say their relationship was very special, they could barely be considered friends.

To be precise, Redfield was invited by Hades.

After he arrived in the Pluto Sea Area, Hades received the news.

"How have your clansmen been settled?"

Hades didn't answer Redfield's question, but instead asked.

"Not bad, at least they are safe. In the New World, our race lives secluded on an island."

Redfield didn't hide anything.

During the process of rescuing his clansmen, Hades had also provided considerable help.

At least with his strength alone, it would have been difficult to bring back those clansmen who had lost their combat strength.

All along, Redfield had actually been alone.

The location of that island was told to him by one of the clansmen rescued from God Valley.

It was then that he learned that besides those scattered and hidden throughout Great Sea, there was still a place in this world, an island where the Blood Race lived, close to the Calm Belt.

There weren't many people, only a few hundred.

This number was only achieved because the Blood Race on the island had continuously searched for their clansmen from The Great Sea over the past few hundred years.

Those with bad luck would be captured by the World Government.

If the World Government knew, they would definitely not let this island go.

It was the first time Redfield felt a sense of belonging.

On that island, he also learned many things and gained a lot.

"Strength is the foundation, you should know that, Redfield. If you need protection, you can come to me. The gates of the Kronos Kingdom are always open for you."

"Hmph! You don't need to lecture me, Hades."

Redfield wore a displeased expression.

In his eyes, Hades was also coveting the Blood Race.

Of course, Hades didn't hide this point.

Hades didn't get angry and didn't care about such things.

He took out a map and placed it in front of Redfield.

"This is a map of Holy Land Mariejois. You still have about forty clansmen imprisoned there."

Hades pointed to a location.

This news was provided by the Fiorella Family.

From the moment Abel was born, the direct lineage of Fiorella began to lean towards the Kronos Kingdom.

As long as it wasn't something that directly harmed the World Government's interests, they didn't mind leaking it.

"However, I advise against you going to that place alone. It's very difficult to escape. You should be clear about the World Government's strength."

Hades reminded him beforehand.

Redfield wasn't a fool.

In the Battle of God Valley, he felt too many powerful aura.

To be honest, Hades asking him to take action during the Battle of God Valley was completely helping him.

At that time, most of the World Government's combat strength was tied up by the Rocks Pirates.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have succeeded so easily.

Although Hades utilized him, deep down, he was actually somewhat grateful.
