Pirate: Hades! ( One Piece)

Chapter 284: The Inconstancy of Life and the Distribution of Forces in the New World

There are still two days until the start of the Sword Tournament.

Countless people have gathered at the Port of Paros Island.

On this day, the Important Figures from the New World will all arrive.

They are fortunate to witness this scene.

In the shadows, the Live Streaming Den Den Mushi was already active, broadcasting the scene at the Port of Paros Island completely to Visual Den Den Mushi throughout the World.

Dense ranks of ships were orderly arranged at the Port of Paros Island.

Paros Island has four Ports.

There is a large Dock stretching four thousand meters in both the east and west.

A large number of Cargo Ships and Transport Ships are gathered.

The large amount of Supplies required by Paros Island will be sent to these two Ports.

The northern part is the private Port of the Pluto Pirates.

It is not large, only eight hundred meters.

The largest southern Port receives ships from all over the World.

The Port, stretching fifteen li, was practically endless to the eye, with nearly five thousand ships docked.

The entire Port is almost completely covered by ships.

They were stacked layer upon layer, six levels deep, covering the Coast.

A large number of Pirate Ships and merchant ships were gathered together.

From the distant Great Sea, ships were constantly approaching.

Under the command of the Pluto Pirates' port management personnel, ships were orderly docked in the available spaces.

Many people have never seen such a spectacular scene.

Those with true foresight, however, can see the Interests contained within the Port of Paros Island, even if a ship is only charged a docking fee of ten thousand Beli per day.

The total daily docking fees for Paros Island can amount to at least one hundred million Beli.

Keep in mind that besides this largest Port, Paros Island has three other Ports.

In fact, the Interests generated will only be greater.

This is just the docking fee.

In Hades' mind, a Radar Map appeared.

Each red dot represented those powerful old Friends.

They were constantly approaching Paros Island.

He didn't observe their positions and Situations in too much detail; he already had a rough calculation in his mind.

In the center of the Port, an empty space was left.

Without a doubt, it was reserved for those Monsters.

Soon, an ordinary ship approached first.

At first, others didn't pay attention, but soon, someone noticed the terrifying Figure on the ship's bow, the iconic crescent-shaped Whitebeard.

He's here!

"Whitebeard" Edward Newgate!

Approaching from afar, he gave off a huge sense of pressure.

The only drawback was that beside Newgate, there was a group of children following him.

They varied in age, but without a doubt, they were all too young.

"Gurararara! Hades, sorry to keep you waiting."

As soon as the ship docked, Newgate leaped from the ship's bow to the shore, laughing heartily as he looked at Hades.

Only then did some people realize that Hades had appeared without anyone noticing.

"It seems you've had quite a Gain this year."

Hades' gaze fell behind Newgate, where the children quickly disembarked from the ship.

Some slid down ropes, while others used the gangplank.

Among them were many Figures he recognized, and of course, some he didn't.

The two reminisced for a while, then looked out at the Great Sea.

More people were still coming.

In the shadows, many people were observing the two of them.

This included the early arrivals, "Violence King" Kosa and "Death Gun" Leon.

Kosa's appearance had changed significantly.

His Body seemed to have shrunk, becoming much thinner.

His thick black hair had been cut, and he had a large beard on his face.

If not for his familiarity with Kosa's Aura, Hades wouldn't have recognized Kosa.

It was precisely this Change that allowed Kosa to remain unexposed during this Time.

"Death Gun" Leon wore his Black Cloak, hiding himself, and stood in a corner of the crowd.

For this tournament, they planned to participate as bystanders.

Next was the Tyrant Dragon Pirates.

As a Core Cadre of the Rocks Pirates, "Tyrant Dragon" Zak possessed extremely formidable strength.

Over the past two years, his Territory has continuously expanded, with the number of Territories completely exceeding forty.

The number of Crewmates itself is not large compared to other Pirate Crews, only over a hundred, following the path of elite members.

Zak has also subjugated many Affiliated Pirate Groups to guard the Territory in the Tyrant Dragon Sea Territory.

Currently, the only thing limiting him is probably the size of his Faction.

The Pirate Ship of the Tyrant Dragon Pirates had not yet approached.

In another direction in the distance, a Pirate Flag was flying, featuring a lifelike Skull with Demon Horns and surrounded by Hellfire.

"Demon" Nash, leading his Devil Pirates, has arrived.

The two Factions successively docked.

Zak and Nash exchanged glances, Fire seemingly erupting in their eyes.

It seems the relationship between the two of them is somewhat strained.

Well, consider the distribution of Factions for the Tyrant Dragon Pirates and Devil Pirates in the New World.

The Whitebeard Pirates have not yet risen, not even having a Base, traveling around with their Children.

The Big Mom Pirates are lying low in Totto Land in the northern part of the early New World.

The Flying Pirates are mainly entrenched in the northern part of the later New World and will expand towards the south and west next.

The Factions of John and Silver Axe are mainly concentrated in the central part of the middle section of the New World.

Wang Zhi's Territory is centered around Honeycomb Island in the central part of the later New World.

To avoid conflict with these Monsters who are stronger than them, "Tyrant Dragon" Zak and "Demon" Nash simultaneously chose to establish their Territories in the southern Sea Area of the later New World.

Although their Territories haven't met yet, they both know that as their Territories expand, they will inevitably collide sooner or later.

The early New World is close to the Marines and easily faces attacks from the Marines, so neither of them chose it.

The northern part of the middle section of the New World is the Territory of the Pluto Pirates.

This point doesn't need consideration, especially since it's also sandwiched between the Big Mom Pirates and the Flying Pirates.

Even though the Pluto Pirates haven't expanded to other Territories in the New World North yet, they wouldn't dare go there.

Once entrenched there, it would mean facing encirclement by the Flying Pirates, Pluto Pirates, and Big Mom Pirates.

Just thinking about such a thing is terrifying.

Without sufficient strength, before truly possessing the strength to resist those Monsters, they need to develop steadily.

Weak is weak, strong is strong.

They still need a little time.

The southern part of the later New World is the only choice.

In the southern part of the middle section of the New World, the terrifyingly strong "Destroyer" Byrnndi World is also entrenched.

The two tacitly agreed to temporarily avoid confrontation and not compete with the Byrnndi Pirates.

Currently, besides John and Silver Axe, Zak and Nash are the most likely to clash first.

Both are arrogant people, so how could their attitude be good?

Before any other accidents occur, the two are destined to be rivals.

"Wait a moment. The others will be here soon."

Hades greeted the two of them.

The two Pirate Crews followed Zak and Nash, positioning themselves on either side.

How inconstant life is!

Comrade-in-arms who once fought together have now become enemies.

Although it hasn't reached that point yet, it's something that can be foreseen sooner or later.
