Pirate: Hades! ( One Piece)

Chapter 279: Taking Disciples? Sleeping Ancient Town

"Láidé, you've scared the children."

Hades chuckled.

"Who are they?"

Redfield's gaze, filled with a hint of surprise, fell upon Hades.

He seemed to have some guesses, but found it a bit hard to believe.

"That's right, they are all my children."

This truly brought a slight shock to Láidé's heart.

To think Hades was only thirty years old, yet he already had so many children.

Judging by their ages, they were no longer young.

It could be said that Hades was already the father of many children during the era of the Rocks Pirates.

"This is just a portion; some children aren't here."

And two figures quickly caught Redfield's attention.

A head of blood-red hair brought him a familiar aura.

The Blood Race possessed powerful vitality.

Red-Hair was one of the traits of Blood Race members, a manifestation of their innate ability.

The most essential aspect, however, was that special blood.

However, there were many people with red hair on The Great Sea.

Along the way, Redfield had also been searching for traces of the Blood Race.

Thousands of years had passed, and the pure-blooded Blood Race had arguably vanished completely.

Even Redfield was not a pure-blooded Blood Race member.

However, as long as someone possessed Red-Hair and their blood exhibited Blood Race traits, they could be considered Blood Race.

Just like those with horns on their heads were the Oni Tribe, and those with dragon scales on their bodies were the Dragon Race.

The Oni Tribe originated from the evolution of ancient Giants.

The earliest Oni Tribe members all possessed bodies taller than the Giant Tribe.

"Demon" Oars perfectly inherited the bloodline of the first generation Oni Tribe.

Essentially, Kaido was also a hybrid of the Oni Tribe and the Human Race.

Redfield hadn't found any of his own kind along the way.

To think he encountered them in the Kronos Kingdom.

It was truly a kind of Fate.

It seemed they were Hades's children.

"They are all Selina's children.

The eldest is named Styx, the second child, a girl, is named Tinifa, and there's a pair of twin sisters, Akali and Avili."

Hades said, his gaze falling upon Styx.

"Styx possesses powerful potential.

He is a Blood-Blood Fruit User, arguably one of the most suitable Devil Fruits for the Blood Race, and also a Two-Sword Style Swordsman."

"How about it?

Do you want to take him as a disciple, Láidé?

You should know, I intend to train him using you as a template."

Redfield was a bit surprised, but the young Styx was indeed not weak.

Even from a thousand meters away, he could still judge that this child of Hades, who inherited the Blood Race bloodline, was truly a Monster.

Besides the Blood Race bloodline, Hades's own blood also flowed within him.

What kind of template was Redfield?

Possessing top-tier Three-Color Haki.

His Observation Haki had reached its peak, possessing the terrifying ability of Mind Reading Art.

When facing enemies he couldn't resist, he could even directly read their memories.

It was unknown if his Future Sight had awakened.

Innate and acquired abilities were not mutually exclusive.

With Láidé's talent, it was only a matter of time.

Redfield had mastered the Armament Haki Internal Destruction Technique early on.

Possessing astonishing body talent, coupled with the Blood Race physique.

He could defeat "Steel Bone" Kong in a one-on-one battle, who possessed a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit ability and had tempered his physique to its peak.

It could be seen that Láidé's body talent was also not bad.

Of course, his ability to defeat Kong mainly relied on the terrifying ability of Mind Reading Art.

In terms of physique alone, Láidé still couldn't compare to Kong.

His body technique was even top-tier.

Redfield, who could read memories, had terrifying learning ability.

In the domain of body technique, he was an absolute grandmaster.

Láidé was even a top-tier Swordsman.

Using an umbrella as his weapon was enough to show Láidé's confidence in his own strength, and his heart was incredibly arrogant.

Swordsmanship, body technique, Haki, Devil Fruit.

Aside from not having eaten a Devil Fruit yet, in the other three aspects, Láidé was at the top-tier level.

Redfield, like Hades, was someone whose strength increased at a very fast speed.

At forty years old, his strength had already reached a terrifying degree.

In terms of true strength, Shiki and Newgate, who still needed time to grow to their peak, might not be Redfield's match in a real battle.

Even Hades wasn't completely confident of victory.

"Hmm?"

Redfield was a little surprised.

He hadn't expected Hades to have such a thought, but he quickly refused.

"I don't have the leisure to help you cultivate your son."

Friendship was friendship, but he had no interest in limiting himself to the Kronos Kingdom.

As Hades's children, Redfield wasn't worried about their safety.

"Is that so?"

Hades wasn't surprised by Láidé's decision.

If he agreed so easily, he wouldn't be Láidé.

"Then guide them for a while.

You can stay here until the Sword Tournament begins."

In just a few words, Hades had sorted out Láidé's stay.

"Alright."

After a slight ponder, Redfield didn't refuse.

Regardless, that child of Hades was Blood Race after all.

It was also a good thing if he could grow up.

"Coincidentally, there's a place I hope you can help me look for."

"What place?"

Hades was a little curious.

"Sleeping Ancient Town."

Hearing these three words, Hades raised an eyebrow.

"It seems you've learned some secret information from the Blood Race side."

Hades was naturally not unfamiliar with Sleeping Ancient Town.

He had also sent people to look for it before, but they couldn't find it at all.

Let alone finding that Longevity Devil Fruit.

That place seemed to hide from others.

Devil Fruits possessed their own consciousness.

It wasn't that no one had tried to search for the whereabouts of that Devil Fruit over the past few hundred years.

In the end, they all returned empty-handed.

He remembered that the previous Mythical Zoan Bat-Bat Fruit Vampire Form Ability User was also a Blood Race member.

Perhaps only the Blood Race could obtain that Devil Fruit.

"You know information about Sleeping Ancient Town?"

Redfield was a little surprised and pleased.

He only knew about the place called Sleeping Ancient Town and the treasures hidden within it that once belonged to the Blood Race.

But he didn't know where Sleeping Ancient Town was located or where to start looking.

Perhaps having figured out some key points, Hades didn't hide anything either.

"Sleeping Ancient Town is also called the Lost Land.

There were once legends about it, but it has disappeared from The Great Sea for hundreds of years."

"However, I know it's located within a Misty Sea Area in the southern Sea Area of the New World's middle section.

If you want to look for it, you can go there."

"If you need any more specific intelligence, I recommend you go to a place first."

"What place?"

"Ohara Island in the West Blue.

The Tree of Knowledge has the largest book collection in this world.

Various manuscripts and hidden lore can likely be found there.

Among them, you might also find relevant information about Sleeping Ancient Town."

"However, regarding Sleeping Ancient Town, someone must have searched for it at the Tree of Knowledge before.

To find Sleeping Ancient Town, it will ultimately depend on your own luck."

Of course, Hades wouldn't say that he had sent people to Ohara to search for Sleeping Ancient Town, but it was useless.

They only found out that Sleeping Ancient Town was located in the Misty Sea Area and the potential dangers it might hold.

If they couldn't even find Sleeping Ancient Town, there was no need to mention what came after.

The so-called dangers were insignificant to both Hades and Redfield.

"Having this information is enough."

Láidé was quite confident.

This was also a gain for him.

A day later, looking at the young men and women watching him inside the special training area, Láidé's face darkened slightly.

"Hades, I remember you didn't say it would be like this?"

"Haha!

Don't mind such small matters.

Teaching one is teaching, teaching ten is teaching.

Besides, aren't I here with you?"

Hades joked.

It just so happened that he had taken out some time, and while Láidé was also there, they could guide his children together.

Was this ten?

Láidé felt a bit helpless.

The total number of children in front of him was close to thirty.

They were basically the children from Hades's first two batches, and their strength had already reached a certain degree.

Without the talent or the foundation, the so-called guidance would be meaningless.

Hades had specifically given them a month's leave from the Royal Military Academy.
