Chapter 114: Pluto Hades
Leaving Hachinosu, not many people saw them off, only Newgate.
On this island, Hades didn't have many familiar pirates either.
The Lonely Throne, surrounded by the Nine-Headed Dragon.
The entire pirate ship had already started, slowly sailing away from the port, changing direction, and raising the pirate flag.
Looking at the surrounding pirates, Hades laughed excitedly, "Guys, from now on, the Pluto Pirates are officially established!"
"Pluto!"
"Pluto!"
Hearing Hades's words, all the pirates cheered, raising their weapons high.
The Pluto Pirates, what a domineering name, named after the legendary Ancient Weapon "Pluto".
And for Hades, "Pluto" undoubtedly suited him better.
Pluto Hades! Isn't that right?
Hades desperately wanted to break free from the shackles brought by his father.
If nothing unexpected happened, as he continued to grow up, he would also inherit the title of "Grim Reaper".
But he didn't want that; he might as well take one himself first.
From the moment he chose to establish the Pluto Pirates, the title "Pluto" was destined to fall upon Hades.
Was he unworthy?
No one doubted this; Hades had already proven his strength and potential.
Even if not now, he would eventually reach a level worthy of this title.
Secretly, the propaganda organs of the Kronos Kingdom would also publicize this news.
It was just a bit of a shame for Rayleigh.
Rayleigh, who had not yet grown up, didn't know that his future title had been registered by someone else first.
In a distant sea area, on a strange island where the Roger Pirates were holding a banquet, the usually steady Rayleigh couldn't help but sneeze.
"Did I catch a cold?"
Rayleigh rubbed his nose, feeling a bit puzzled, as if he had lost something.
The Farazul left Hachinosu under everyone's watchful eyes, without a trace of reluctance.
No one knew what Hades's next target was, but they would soon understand.
Now, Hades was like a magnet, emitting a magnetic field that drew many gazes.
No one would believe that Hades gathered these powerful pirates just to establish a Pirate Crew.
Was he returning to the Kronos Kingdom?
The reforms in the Kronos Kingdom were very smooth, its national strength was constantly increasing, and grain production, agriculture, technology, heavy industry, light industry, and even the service industry were all undergoing development.
Due to the huge losses caused by the Rocks Pirates, the World Government's focus completely shifted, declaring the failure of their targeted actions against the Kronos Kingdom.
The land occupied by the puppet government supported by the World Government had completely returned.
It seemed as though the World Government's strength had left the Kronos Kingdom, but in reality, it was still hidden.
This area was still blockaded and monitored, waiting for Hades's return to clear it out in one fell swoop.
The Pluto Pirates had a clear objective, constantly moving in one direction, from Hachinosu in the rear of the New World to the New World Center, no one knew when they would stop.
"What's the situation on Iskandar Island now?"
Hades asked, looking at Ananke sitting on a chair and stroking her belly.
Ananke was already carrying Hades's bloodline.
Not long after returning, it had been at least eight months, and she wasn't far from giving birth.
However, this didn't affect Ananke's condition.
As a member of the Tartarus Family, Ananke naturally possessed considerable potential, and moreover, she was the most outstanding woman and had undergone training from her mother, Nyx.
Her strength wasn't weak, but compared to Hades, it was too far off.
Originally, Hades wanted to send Ananke back to the Kronos Kingdom, just like Titan's son Tyr, who had already been sent to the Kronos Kingdom.
However, Hades was worried about potential accidents along the way and wanted to wait until the child was born before sending them back.
Iskandar Island was also closer to the Kronos Kingdom than Hachinosu, offering greater security.
Additionally, Hades liked a sense of ritual and hoped to personally name his child after they were born.
He might not have time in the future, but this was his first child, the direct lineage eldest son of the Tartarus Family.
"Mother has been keeping an eye on things there. Shakky also sent a lot of intelligence. You should have intelligence from Hades here."
"Currently, the master of Iskandar Island is 'Poison Demon' Mcreel, a Logia-type Mercury Fruit Ability User, with a bounty of 530 million, a high-ranking cadre of the Rocks Pirates."
"He was a super rookie who joined the Rocks Pirates twelve years ago, possessing the potential to become a Core Cadre. Are you sure you want to confront him?"
Even knowing Hades wouldn't change his mind, Ananke couldn't help but try to persuade him.
Mcreel, this is definitely a formidable enemy.
"So what? Shiki joined the Rocks Pirates only five or six years ago and has already surpassed him, and is far from reaching his peak."
"That guy is already over forty years old now."
As the name implies, in Hades's eyes, this powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit User had long reached his limit, being nearly thirty years old when he joined the Rocks Pirates.
Reaching this level only now, even if he could still improve, at most he would be at the bottom tier of Top Tier Combatants, barely reaching admiral level.
He might seem strong, but in Hades's eyes, he was just so-so.
"Let's see if he's sensible, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Without potential, one is destined to be eliminated.
"The Iskanbel Family will give us their full support and welcome our presence."
"The current Patriarch of the Iskanbel Family, the Mayor of Iskandar Island, is quite sensible."
Hades agreed with Ananke's words.
"Of course. The Iskanbel Family dreams of rebuilding the glory of the Conqueror King."
"The World Government is unreliable. Our support is the best nectar for them."
Wasn't the demise of the Iskanbel Kingdom due to the World Government?
The Iskanbel Kingdom was once glorious, reaching the level of a powerhouse nation in the New World, and produced a "Conqueror King", Iskanbel Velvet.
Based on Iskandar Island, they conquered a large sea area with a small population.
Seemingly sensing a threat, after the kingdom's demise, the Iskanbel Kingdom suffered backlash from the occupied territories, coupled with the World Government's covert suppression, causing it to plummet from its peak to the bottom.
Ultimately, it was destroyed because it couldn't pay the Heavenly Tribute.
That brief glory was the obsession and 'white moonlight' of the Iskanbel Family; they dreamed of rebuilding the kingdom.
In fact, the Iskanbel Family had this ability.
They had always maintained control over the island's popular support and authority/power.
They were just wary of the strength of the World Government and pirates, as well as the various factions on the island.
If they made a move, it would be like stirring up a hornet's nest, leading to joint suppression from all factions.
The World Government would certainly not stand by and watch a kingdom they had suppressed rise again.
In peacetime, it would have been fine.
The Iskanbel Kingdom couldn't possibly challenge the World Government and might even have become another Member Nation paying Heavenly Tribute.
In the current era, this was undoubtedly causing trouble.
The current Iskanbel Family was not as strong as it used to be.
Even relying on the better developed Iskandar Island.
