Pirate: Hades!

On the other side, inside the General Staff Headquarters.

Xirik handled affairs as usual, seemingly unaffected.

Don't underestimate his control over the North Sea and the navy.

Of course he knew what Zhan Guo and He were doing.

Xirik knew that he might even be able to guess his hidden identity, but he didn't care.

Both Sengoku and He are smart people who will make smart choices.

He doesn't need to do anything.

What's more, Sakaski already knew the news that he founded the Dark Sun Cult.

Xirik does things according to his own will. When he founded the Dark Sun Order, it was just a whim. He thought it was interesting, so he just did it.

The same goes for choosing Sakaski. He wants to help Sakaski become the naval marshal.

Because of Sakaski's will, he got his approval.

Even for the Kingdom of Chronos, Sakaski will stab the World Government at a critical moment.

Nowadays, Xirik rarely pays attention to the Dark Sun Order.

Let them develop.

The main focus is still on the navy.

Xirik still remembers the look of surprise on Sakaski's face when he first learned the news.

Even if it did have any impact on him, Sakaski would protect him.

Xirik knew Sakaski better than any other marine.

Sakaski and Xirik are the biggest forces in the Marine Headquarters besides Sengoku.

With just one order, the North Sea Navy would be completely separated and out of the control of the Navy Headquarters.

And there will be divisions within the navy.

Some navies will choose to join Sakaski and Xirik to form a new navy.

Not only the base, but also the power, are all ready-made.

Their retreat had already been prepared.

Even if the Navy Headquarters imprisoned him, he would have a way to leave thanks to his connections within the Navy.

There was no pressure on Xirik.

He likes his current job very much, hiding behind the scenes and observing the ocean from a different perspective.

All he had to do was wait for "Golden Lion" Shiki to die, and then he could go wherever he wanted without any worries.

Unlike now, we can only hide in the Navy Headquarters.

More importantly, the huge faith accumulated by the Dark Sun Cult over the years is constantly driving the transformation of the fruit ability in Xirik's body.

Now it's coming to an end.

Originally, he was just a user of the superhuman language fruit ability.

And now?

Due to special reasons, the Language Fruit transformed into the Mythical Beast, Human-Human Fruit, the God of Lies form.

The God of Lies, Cyric, is the god himself.

The all-round improvement of abilities, thanks to the increase in the power of the mythical beast species, has made Xirek's overall strength much stronger.

In terms of combat power, Xirik is inferior to Kyle.

Kyle's heartbeat fruit, which he developed to the extreme, can control the heartbeats of others, which will have a strong negative impact on the enemy's condition during battle.

It can speed up blood circulation and enhance one's own condition by increasing heart rate.

In addition, it can also identify the location of others through heartbeat.

The effect can be said to be very comprehensive.

As for Xirik himself, the fruit of language did not bring much improvement to his combat power.

What now?

Although it is called a mythical beast, Xirik’s abilities can actually be classified as a “divine species”.

That is the devil fruit that symbolizes the gods, similar to the Great Buddha Fruit.

Greatly improved Xirik's combat effectiveness.

Although special abilities still play a supporting role.

The enhancement of the body by the mythical beast species alone is enough.

Now Xirik feels that there is an endless supply of power flowing out of his body, and he has an even stronger vitality.

If a war really breaks out, he is fully capable of protecting himself.

He doesn't mind staying in hiding until the Hiku Pirates are destroyed.

This is not something to be ashamed of.

Just like the language fruit, even if he transformed into a mythical beast, it did not bring Xirik any powerful offensive abilities.

This does not mean that the power of this devil fruit is weak.

This is a devil fruit that continues to grow.

Cyric is the devil himself.

The fruit's ability will grow as Xirik grows.

Language skills are enhanced.

A powerful spiritual force that can drive people crazy, insane, and cause hallucinations.

The light symbolizing the dark sun can cover Xirik's body, reduce Xirik's presence, create an invisible effect, and make it difficult to detect.

For Xirik, combat abilities are not important; invisibility, mental attacks, and illusions are already excellent.

As a great swordsman, his main means of attack is still swordsmanship.

Combined with special abilities, it is enough to greatly enhance Xirik's combat power during the battle.

He and Kyle are both very talented in kendo.

But he is not a top kendo genius.

His profound foundation allowed him to easily break through the bottleneck of the great swordsman one year after killing Atlas.

Becoming a great swordsman before the age of thirty is enough to show how outstanding Xirik is.

But compared with a true genius, there is still some distance.

A true genius can break through the bottleneck of a great swordsman when he is around 20 years old.

There are countless geniuses in the sea who have been stuck at the bottleneck of the great swordsman for decades or even their entire lives.

Unfortunately, unless something unexpected happens, Xirik will not reveal his abilities and true strength.

Whether now or in the future, Xirik will not step into the battlefield of top powerhouses.

He has his own position, and fighting on the front line is not his style.

He will only demonstrate his strength within a reasonable range.

Just like his true identity, it will not be exposed.

There weren't many things in this sea that could interest him.

The Dark Sun Cult developed independently, and he rarely interfered.

The main task of the Dark Sun Cult today is to cooperate with the expansion and development of the Kingdom of Chronos in the North Sea.

As for other things, suppressing the Hilton Kingdom and weakening the influence of the navy are relatively secondary.

Even if it was the navy, he wouldn't care too much.

His main goal was to help Sakaski become the Navy Admiral, until Sakaski led the Navy away from the control of the World Government.

He would stay with Sakaski until he saw that scene.

Compared with the external changes of the revolutionary army.

Changes that start from within the Navy can be just as damaging as changes that start from outside.

The internal changes did not have much negative impact on the situation at sea.

And what about the Revolutionary Army? They have brought so much trouble and seriously endangered the stability of the world.

Sakaski is the internal reformer chosen by Xirik.

It seems that Sakaski is a loyal dog of the World Government, and the destruction of Ohara and the attack on civilian ships prove this.

But who knows what Sakaski is thinking?

Now is not the time to show your fangs.

The planning over the years has been completed, and we just need to wait and see for Sakaski to reach the top.

At that time, the opportunity for the Navy to break away from the World Government will come.
