**Chapter 113: Pathenon Royal Military Academy**
He was seeking business for the Kingdom's industries.
The Parthenon Group is a super group formed after the Kronos Kingdom integrated the Kingdom's construction industry.
The Parthenon Group is controlled by the Kronos Kingdom and is also managed by the Tartarus Family.
The main person in charge is a Family member, Tartarus Pathenon.
It covers all aspects: shipbuilding, houses, bridges, roads, and machinery.
Design, surveying, installation, and decoration are all included.
The Parthenon Group is just a general term; in reality, it is divided into various subsidiaries managed separately.
While it seems complex, the scale of the Parthenon Group is not particularly large.
Currently, the Kingdom needs a lot of construction, but the main economic source still relies on shipbuilding and sea transport.
Once the Parthenon Group makes a name for itself on the Great Sea and in other countries, it will definitely be able to develop.
The Kronos Kingdom's shipbuilding industry is not famous in the World, but its technology is absolutely top-tier.
Moreover, after the establishment of the Parthenon Group, they recruited many renowned shipwrights and designers from all over the World.
The Parthenon Navigation Construction Company needs to make a name for itself.
Hades saw the vast Pirate market and aimed to expand into other areas from there.
On this Great Sea, building a Pirate ship has never been illegal.
A ship is not guilty; only the people who sail it to do evil are.
Therefore, Hades had no reservations about building Pirate ships.
The unveiling of the "Farazul" was also a showcase for the many Pirates on Hachinosu Island.
In secret, someone "accidentally" leaked information about the Parthenon Navigation Construction Company, and some people were already asking for the company's address.
There was even news circulating that if you built a Pirate ship with this company, you could also be provided with high-quality artillery, directly from the King of Arms, priced at only 90% of the black market price.
With this added information, some Pirates were completely captivated.
Both the quality of the ship and the firepower made their hearts pound.
High-end artillery is always scarce in the Underworld, and the price has been slowly rising.
Even though the amount of munitions flowing into the Underworld has increased in recent years, it has only intensified competition and increased the demand for munitions.
The Parthenon Navigation Construction Company is naturally located in the Kronos Kingdom, but the dock for building Pirate ships is set up on Puto Island, which is close to the Kronos Kingdom.
This is an Island controlled by the Kronos Kingdom, rich in various types of wood, possessing natural shipbuilding materials.
Of course, more resources still need to be transported from all over the World.
The Kronos Kingdom also wants to avoid the influence of Pirates and deliberately has the idea of developing Puto Island into a famous shipbuilding hub in the eyes of Pirates.
"We probably won't see each other for a while after this."
"You won't need to pay for drinks at the usual bar anymore, Newgate."
Hades greeted Newgate.
"What, you're paying for me?"
Newgate felt a hint of sadness inside.
Once Hades left, he wouldn't see a friend like him for some time.
Thinking of this, he felt a bit unaccustomed.
"No, I bought the place."
Hades grinned, then turned and left.
During this time, a group of Pirates had already arrived on the "Farazul", which had been partially completed on the ship.
Under the guidance of Kronos Kingdom Navy personnel, they gained a general understanding of the Farazul.
These personnel were sent by the Kronos Kingdom and would also join Hades' subordinates to sail on the Great Sea.
This batch of young soldiers numbered only two hundred and were among the first graduates from the Pathenon Royal Military Academy of the Kronos Kingdom.
The Royal Military Academy not only trains powerhouses but also trains officers, requiring them to learn knowledge from various fields.
With the financial support from the Kronos Kingdom, the Royal Military Academy generally offers an eight-year system and a twelve-year system.
The eight-year system is for older individuals over twelve years old.
The twelve-year system is for younger children under twelve years old.
This includes comprehensive educational activities such as basic education and patriotic education.
Training is differentiated based on individual strengths.
Some people are only suited to improving their strength and are not suitable for learning; this is normal.
To avoid wasting resources, practical experience and training are included during the study period, contributing to the Kingdom's construction.
Of course, as long as the requirements are met, early graduation is possible at any time.
After graduation, they can work in places like the Army, Marines, or the Kingdom Secret Intelligence Agency.
If special talent is discovered, they might even be directly invited to work in the "Underworld Prison" (Hades), whether it's the Netherworld or Hell.
There have certainly been early graduates over the years.
This batch of talent from the Royal Military Academy are all students from the first graduating class, at least ranking in the upper-middle.
Regardless of whether they graduated early, their class year is determined by when they first entered the Royal Military Academy, based on the number of years they studied.
Therefore, the eight-year system and the twelve-year system do not affect each other.
These students are all very young, the youngest being twenty and the oldest not much over thirty.
Having received education from the military academy, they are elites, trained to be officers.
At the very least, they have mastered three Marine Six Styles techniques.
The more outstanding ones have already awakened Haki.
It's worth noting that the teachers and instructors at the Royal Military Academy include powerhouses already present in the Kronos Kingdom, as well as a retired Marine Vice Admiral and several Navy Officers.
Although they haven't received targeted education similar to the future Marine Elite Training Camp under a renowned teacher like Zephyr.
To have grown to this point, they are all battle-hardened.
They have their own understanding of Marine Six Styles, Haki, and combat skills.
News spread slowly on the Great Sea back then compared to how it will in the future, and the Marines didn't even know about the Kronos Kingdom recruiting their personnel.
Even if they were old or retired due to injury, in the eyes of the Marines, they were still Marines.
Furthermore, Hades is an enemy of the Marines, having killed a Marine Vice Admiral.
However, who could refuse the high treatment offered by the Kronos Kingdom?
If they dared to resist, they would be killed immediately to silence them.
Anyway, their knowledge had been mostly extracted, and with the Kronos Kingdom's information blockade, they couldn't transmit intelligence outwards at all.
Besides Marine Six Styles, many different body technique skills were taught, including swordsmanship.
This even included the application of technique moves developed by Hades based on the Six Styles, such as Burst Foot, Chasing Wind, Sheath Break, and Sword Flash.
