Chapter 120: Five Great Superpower Nations
Chapter 120: Five Great Superpower Nations
The entire Great Sea will become a battlefield.
"Finally, things are getting interesting."
Hades couldn't help but chuckle.
For the first time in a long while, he felt a sense of pressure.
Aside from the battles against the various Cadres within the Rocks Pirates, he hadn't felt much pressure before.
He had originally thought he would experience a great battle during the operation targeting the Stone Country.
However, he hadn't expected the Marines to be so fragile, collapsing across the board, which resulted in him barely needing to make a move.
The World Government has gotten serious, deploying five Admirals.
But will this truly be enough to deal with the Rocks Pirates?
Regardless, once this war begins, it won't stop easily.
It wasn't just him; far away in Hachinosu, "Golden Lion" Shiki and Newgate were also getting excited.
Shiki craved war; his twin swords hadn't tasted blood in a long time.
Newgate's awaited moment had finally arrived.
This battle would thoroughly establish his prestige.
Numerous Pirates were stirring, eager for action.
In this Era, within the Rocks Pirates, there were no cowardly Pirates.
This is the Criminal Army, the strongest Pirate Crew on this Great Sea!
Their Leader is "World's Strongest" Rocks D.
Xebec!
Facing the approaching enemy, how could they possibly retreat?
The blood of "Madman" and "Fearless" had long since stained every Pirate of the Rocks Pirates.
All Affiliated Pirate Crews and Affiliated Forces would not feign compliance during such a time, and they certainly wouldn't dare to.
Just as Rocks' overbearing strength could suppress everything.
The terrifying Faction of the Rocks Pirates could also suppress all Factions.
The strength of the allied forces has never reached a level that the Rocks Pirates couldn't handle or couldn't spare the effort to deal with.
The Rocks Pirates could casually dispatch a high-end combat power to annihilate any resistor.
Furthermore, the long-standing authority of the Rocks Pirates has already been deeply imprinted throughout the New World.
The vast majority of Factions wouldn't even entertain the thought of resistance.
What's more, the Rocks Pirates represent all of their Factions.
Even the Underworld Forces, the "Dark King," would provide support to the Rocks Pirates at this time.
Compared to the threat posed by the Rocks Pirates, countless people also hoped the Rocks Pirates would not fall.
The Rocks Pirates are like a wall; once it collapses, it will crush a large area.
The interests of the Rocks Pirates are already intertwined with those of various Factions.
It is only at moments like this that one can truly feel the foundation of the Rocks Pirates.
Large amounts of supplies were mobilized; the entire Rocks Pirates had begun transforming from a Pirate Crew into a Military.
Intelligence Organizations, like a brain, secretly issued commands, mobilizing all Pirates.
Gathering the strength of half the New World, they were turning the Rocks Pirates into a war machine.
The Intelligence Force of the Rocks Pirates is impossible to ignore; the Marines and the World Government have always been searching for their whereabouts.
Yet, they hit a wall time and time again.
Several times they found clues, but the intelligence personnel would lose contact repeatedly.
Sometimes, the Intelligence Organization of the Rocks Pirates would even withdraw in advance, causing them to lose the trail again.
Whether it was the Marines or the World Government's Intelligence Force, they had hundreds of years of history.
Yet, they were helpless against the nascent strength of the Rocks Pirates.
It didn't resemble an Intelligence Organization formed by Pirates at all.
Their perception was simply too sharp, and their development speed was extraordinarily fast.
Of course, this was because they were never just facing the Rocks Pirates as a single Faction.
A few days ago, upon receiving news from the Kronos Kingdom, Hades had learned everything.
This secret was held by the Commander-in-Chief of the "Netherworld." Perhaps feeling the time wasn't right, even though Hades controlled the "Underworld Prison," he couldn't obtain this secret.
With Hades's rise and the establishment of the Pluto Pirates, there seemed to be no need to conceal it from Hades anymore.
In the early stages of the Rocks Pirates' development.
Perhaps due to Hades's father, Jaeger, perhaps seeing the potential of Rocks D.
Xebec, or perhaps to counter the World Government, which was already a clear enemy.
The Kronos Kingdom had invested a considerable amount of strength, the most important being the establishment of the Intelligence Organization, even directly utilizing a portion of the "Netherworld" personnel.
Within a short period, they rapidly built the framework of an Intelligence Organization and cultivated intelligence personnel.
They weren't just cultivating Intelligence Force for the Rocks Pirates; they were also using the Rocks Pirates to develop their own Intelligence Force.
For this purpose, the Kronos Kingdom brought in the Eternal Kingdom, a Superpower Nation that had been quietly influential and powerful in the New World.
They also included the Landis Kingdom, a Superpower Nation from the West Blue that had previously been targeted by the World Government.
With these three as the core, they jointly established the Intelligence Force of the Rocks Pirates.
The "Netherworld" of the Kronos Kingdom, the "Avici" of the Eternal Kingdom, and the "Grotto" of the Landis Kingdom.
The World Government was essentially fighting against three Superpower Nations, confronting three vast Intelligence Organizations with long histories.
Subsequently, the Intelligence Force of the Rocks Pirates gradually developed, further giving rise to forces centered around "Lady Night" Nyx and three others.
Nyx had Jaeger's connections and the covert support of the Kronos Kingdom, so her development was rapid.
She probably never imagined that the Rocks Pirates had been invested in by the Kronos Kingdom long ago.
Excluding "Dark Night," the Intelligence Force she controlled was far inferior to the Intelligence Force of the three Superpower Nations within the Rocks Pirates.
Among the other three, two had significant backgrounds: one came from the "Black Ice Platform" of the Great Xia Kingdom, and one came from the "Black Gold Intelligence Agency" of the "Golden Kingdom," Hilton Kingdom.
Although they were a step slower, after some communication, they also joined in, and the strength they controlled far surpassed Nyx's.
The last person was a Confidant of Rocks D.
Xebec.
Although Hades had interacted with them, they were deeply hidden, and their specific identity was unknown even to the Superpower Nations.
It could be said that the intelligence core of the Rocks Pirates was not a place where ordinary people could gain a foothold.
And this was the truth: the Intelligence Force of the Rocks Pirates was entirely formed under the promotion of various Factions.
It was essentially an agency temporarily pieced together by five Superpower Nations; it couldn't truly be considered the Rocks Pirates' own Intelligence Force.
The foundation required for its development was also something the Rocks Pirates couldn't have achieved in just over a decade.
The planning of the Rocks Pirates' actions was also basically decided jointly by the various Factions, including that intelligence personnel belonging to Rocks.
This also resolved some of Hades's doubts and confirmed some of his suspicions.
At the same time, he felt sorrow for the Rocks Pirates; their lifespan was completely controlled by these Superpower Nations.
He also felt pity for the Marines and the World Government.
From the very beginning, they had underestimated the Rocks Pirates and had no idea what they were truly facing.
Perhaps they had thought the Rocks Pirates might have Faction support, but they wouldn't have imagined the level of support was this significant.
They had directly entered the fray, albeit only through intelligence support.
However, after so many years, with the massive funds support from the Rocks Pirates, the Intelligence Force has flourished.
Over the years, the Rocks Pirates have also cultivated a batch of Intelligence Force that truly belongs to them.
Nyx controls one batch, Rocks D.
Xebec and the major Factions have received a batch, and there are others like Shakky, who have already exhibited talent but haven't yet grown up into excellent intelligence personnel.
Eventually, the various Superpower Nations will gradually withdraw to avoid being detected by the World Government.
As the conflict between the two sides intensifies, this is unavoidable; at the very least, they cannot leave any evidence for the World Government.
In a few more years, it is believed that someone will step forward.
They will take over from the departing major Factions and carry the banner of the Rocks Pirates' intelligence.
In Hades's memory, the only one he knew of was Shakky.
Due to possessing a large amount of intelligence, she was eventually pursued by Garp.
Despite the situation, Hades remained calm.
The ones who should be panicking have always been the Marines and the World Government.
Compared to them, Hades understood just how terrifying the Rocks Pirates were.
Especially after obtaining the intelligence from the Kronos Kingdom regarding the Rocks Pirates.
