Pirate: Hades! ( One Piece)

Chapter 290: Sky Arena (1)

"Truly terrifying."

The young man with the Codename Wind exclaimed with some astonishment.

Unlike the Strongmen he usually saw in the Kingdom, who were like Divine Dragons that disappeared without a trace, even when he did see them, they didn't feel particularly powerful.

Thinking this, Wind glanced at the Teacher beside him and Old Man Guo, who looked thin and smiled with narrowed eyes.

The style of these monsters on The Great Sea was completely different.

Even without making a move, they could make you feel that direct, terrifying aura that sent shivers down your spine.

Before this, he felt that the most terrifying presence belonged to His Highness.

"Their strength is all-encompassing, without blind spots," the Teacher standing beside him said solemnly, his gaze fixed on Roger and Golden Lion Shiki.

From his brief observation just now, he had realized this point.

To become the World's Strongest Swordsman, being purely strong in swordsmanship was completely insufficient.

Saying this, he sighed slightly, "It seems I will have to let down the King's expectation."

"You are still young, Gaine."

Old Man Guo on the side didn't take this matter seriously.

They were here to participate in this sword tournament; winning the title of World's Strongest Swordsman was not a strict command.

One must know that Gaine became a Great Sword Master at just twenty years old, became the Kingdom's Strongest Swordsman at twenty-four, and was now only twenty-eight.

If he were in the Great Xia Kingdom, his strength would be completely sufficient, but to venture out onto the Great Sea, with the target of becoming the World's Strongest Swordsman, his strength was not enough.

It wasn't too late to realize this now.

Having stood at the peak for too long, now experiencing stress after a long time was a good thing for him.

"However, this is the new era of the Great Sea.

It would have been better if they had emerged earlier," Old Man Guo said with some regret.

With his vision, he could naturally see how outstanding these young monsters were.

If he had been born in this era, becoming the World's Strongest would not have been so easy.

Many of these young monsters had not yet reached their peak, especially That Person, the King of the Kronos Kingdom.

"Since the guests have all arrived, let's go.

Let's take a tour of the Sky Arena, the main venue for the upcoming sword tournament."

Hades looked around, beckoned, and smiled.

Those who should come had already arrived.

As for the others, Hades didn't care.

He also felt relieved in his heart.

Things had gone relatively smoothly.

Any losses were his to bear.

"Let's go, let's see what's inside this Sky Arena," Shiki said, looking at the massive building in the distance.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The Flying Pirates could absolutely not afford such financial resources.

Even if they could, he didn't have the connections of the Kronos Kingdom, and the cost and time spent would far exceed the expenses required for the Sky Arena built by the Pluto Pirates.

Management was also a problem; he didn't have that kind of patience.

Moreover, the actual value of the Sky Arena would only be higher than rumored.

"There should be some fine wine inside."

Whitebeard said with expectation.

He was just a spectator this time, here to enjoy himself.

In just half a year, the wine he bought when he left the World Expo had long been finished.

He was reluctant to spend a large sum to buy more.

After all, these precious fine wines were not cheap.

The average price of alcohol at the World Expo was slightly lower than on the Great Sea.

It was also considered a special promotional event.

The Sky Arena was the same now.

During the sword tournament, the prices of various alcoholic beverages inside the Sky Arena would decrease.

For Newgate, who liked to get a good deal, he wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Many Pirates on the Great Sea came to the Sky Arena for this purpose as well.

Even purchasing a batch of low-priced alcohol was a gain.

Such opportunities were rare and only lasted for a limited time.

After the sword tournament passed, reselling these fine wines to other Pirates could even earn a small profit.

Some Merchants had already seen the business opportunity in this and came from the Four Seas and various places in the New World.

They used this opportunity to purchase a batch of goods.

But no matter what, the Kronos Kingdom was the one making the profit.

"Mom!

Mom!

This old lady can't wait to taste the desserts inside!"

Charlotte Linlin said, drooling.

This was her main purpose for coming this time.

"Let's see which powerful Swordsmen are here!"

Roger looked around.

With a Swordsman's strong instinct, he had already sensed the sharpness hidden in the shadows.

Hearing the Voice of All Things Observation Haki could clearly hear the voices of all things, which naturally included the swords owned by these Swordsmen.

Through the sound of the sword, to a certain extent, it could represent whether the Swordsman was strong enough.

The facts did not disappoint him; Hades had not been wrong.

However, he did not overly probe the locations where those Swordsmen were hidden, preserving some sense of expectation.

The masters of this sword tournament were the Swordsmen; everyone else was just a spectator, a witness.

Hades walked in front, followed by Important Figures who shook the Great Sea.

Pirate Crews gathered together to form a massive group.

The main road from the Port to the center of the Sky Arena was completely unobstructed.

Besides the Sky Arena, other areas of Paros Island were also very prosperous.

Visible, some areas were still under construction and were sealed off.

Just like that, followed by a group of people, they arrived in front of the Sky Arena.

Standing in front of the Sky Arena, one could truly feel their own insignificance and the grandeur of the entire Sky Arena.

In front of the Sky Arena, even the massive Giant Tribe was nothing.

The exterior of the Sky Arena was composed of huge platinum prisms.

It was impossible to see the internal situation with the naked eye.

However, from inside, one could see the outside scene through the prisms.

Some prisms representing the Luxury Suites could even open like windows.

Along the way, Important Figures, an unknown number of people followed, and an unknown number of people watched.

"This, is this the Sky Arena?"

The Pirates who came here widened their eyes one by one, their mouths involuntarily opening, the shock in their hearts difficult to conceal.

Every guest who came here was inevitably shocked by the Sky Arena.

Even if some people in these Pirate Crews had been here in the past six months, upon arriving in front of the Sky Arena again, they were still shocked.

"It's truly magnificent!

The Marine Headquarters Fortress is nothing compared to it!"

Shiki praised without hesitation, directly belittling the Marines.

This was just his instinctive thought.

But as soon as these words came out, the faces of the many Marines watching the live streaming darkened.

They wanted to retort but didn't know what to say.

Some things had to be admitted.

However, the Marine Headquarters Fortress bore the marks of time and was special.

How could it be measured by value?

The Marine Headquarters was grand enough, but in the face of such a massive scale, it was simply not worth mentioning.

How could they compare?

They couldn't come up with over a hundred billion beli.

The Marines' annual military budget was only thirty billion beli, which wasn't even enough to support the Marines' development.
