Pirate: Hades!

"Da da!"

The crisp and heavy footsteps echoed in everyone's ears and resonated with their heartbeats.

Hades appeared, followed by Barrett and Jellal.

He was wearing a dark purple aristocratic robe, and his noble temperament and the aura of a superior could not be concealed at all.

Those deep and indifferent pupils were filled with endless majesty.

It invisibly brings huge pressure to people.

Barrett is still wearing black military uniform.

Gerard was wearing a dark blue court-style military uniform, which looked like a noble dress if you didn't look at the military emblem and cap.

Most of the member states basically rely on the navy for escort, and their kingdoms do not have much strong combat power.

Even if there are strong people among the people, they are unlikely to join the kingdom’s army and submit to the royal family.

There are very few countries like the Kingdom of Chronos that have top-level combat capabilities while being escorted by core naval generals.

Both Barrett and Jellal had shown themselves in that battle.

Especially Barrett, his absolute power can be said to be extremely terrifying, and he is also a top-level mythical beast devil fruit ability user.

That battle was broadcast live around the world, and basically everyone knew about it.

But everyone's main attention was still focused on Hades.

"Hades, the god of the underworld!"

"He actually came in person!"

One by one, the reporters couldn't help but get excited. Their bodies were shaking with excitement. They couldn't help but press the shutter button as fast as if their hands were twitching while holding the camera.

It will no doubt be on tomorrow’s front page.

The figures of Hades and his two companions getting off the cruise ship, the two rows of elite naval officers, and Sakaski who were waiting respectfully, will form a world-famous painting.

At this time, no one cares whether there is enough film.

The most important thing is to take more photos and then find the perfect one.

Life has to go on, so the people who have so much free time watching the live broadcast are only a minority on the sea after all.

Most people still need to rely on newspapers to obtain information about the World Conference.

If it were any other member state, some reporters would even boldly walk up to them, pick up the microphone and ask them some questions.

But at this moment, no one dared to do so.

Such a big shot is simply not something they can approach.

This is a true legend!

They don't even have the qualifications or the courage.

The invisible pressure made their bodies seem unable to move.

Sakaski and Barrett, the army general of the Chronos Kingdom, both seem to be difficult to deal with.

Just at this time, a group of people appeared in the distance. The envoys from the World Government had just arrived.

When Hades and his men were about to arrive at Red Harbor, Sakaski had already remotely informed the World Government of the news.

The World Government also arranged for important officials to come and meet Hades as soon as possible.

It was none other than Sterling Victor, whom Hades was familiar with.

The marriage with the Ruvens family meant that there was no obstacle to Victor's advancement within the World Government.

Backed by the Sterling family, a powerful top family.

My mother is a Celestial Dragon, and my wife is also a Celestial Dragon.

His son married into the House of Tartarus.

Today, Victor has become the chief steward of the Holy Land, taking over his father's position.

However, the Sterling family has already handed over the position of Finance Minister.

Be taken over by others.

The Sterling family is powerful enough that even the world government would not allow them and their son to occupy two important positions at the same time.

This is true even if Victor's wife is a Celestial Dragon.

The weakening of the various Celestial Dragon families will only make them more vigilant.

Especially the Sterling family, which poses a huge threat to them and has deep-rooted influence in the world government.

As he grew older and his status improved, Victor himself became full of dignity.

Especially with strong combat power.

Although he cannot be compared with Hades, Victor is considered average among the top fighters.

This is scary enough, considering that Victor is not a devil fruit user.

He has reached this level solely by relying on physical skills and domineering. If he eats a powerful devil fruit, his strength will be further improved.

As the chief steward of the Holy Land, many people in Red Harbor knew Victor.

Sometimes Victor would appear on the front page of newspapers, and anyone who paid attention to the politics of the world's holy lands would have basically seen some information about Victor.

I didn't expect that such an important official would come here in person.

This is also reasonable.

"Long time no see, Hades."

Seeing Hades' figure, Victor gently extended his hand.

The indifference on Hades' face also dissipated like snow in the spring breeze. He shook hands with Victor and smiled softly.

Their relationship became closer with the marriage.

The exchanges between the Kingdom of Chronos and the Kingdom of Sterling have also become closer and the ties have become closer.

There is no doubt that the Sterling family is now on the side of the Kingdom of Chronos and are in the same boat.

The Sterling family's position has been increasingly leaning towards the Kingdom of Chronos over the years.

Not only is the World Government gradually weakening, but there is also the powerful strength of the Kingdom of Chronos.

They knew that the Kingdom of Chronos was most likely behind the wars on the sea in recent years.

As the Celestial Dragon family weakened, the position of the Sterling family became increasingly embarrassing.

After all, the power of the Sterling family has always been well preserved.

In a subtle way, the Sterling family was being suppressed.

Lost his post as Finance Minister.

You know, Victor's father originally held the dual positions of Minister of Finance of the World Government and Chief Steward of the Holy Land.

Although the Holy Land's Chief Steward is also an important position, he is only responsible for the logistics of the Holy Land.

It can't be said that he has much power, but the Minister of Finance is in charge of the finances of the world government.

Victor was promoted from Deputy Minister of Finance to Chief Steward of the Holy Land, which was actually a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality.

In addition, the world government is currently short of funds, so even if it takes kickbacks, it won’t get much.

"Let's talk about it later. This isn't the right occasion."

Hades glanced around vaguely.

He didn't like being looked at like a monkey in such occasions.

This is completely different from his pirate days.

Although he felt more awe when facing himself, all in all, he didn't like it.

Hades doesn't care about how others feel about him.

He doesn't need to appear friendly and kind, this is not who he is.

"Let's go."

Victor nodded, without caring about anyone else, turned around, and walked towards Hades, seemingly side by side with him, but actually half a step slower than Hades.
