Chapter 71: Slaughter and Spectacle
Where is this place?
Hachinosu is a Pirate's paradise.
How can it allow you, a Noble, to be so arrogant?
Moreover, Titan's words seemed to not take them seriously at all.
Which Pirate daring to come to this Island wasn't a proud and arrogant individual?
Whether they were newly arrived Pirates or native Hachinosu Pirates.
The Pirates on Hachinosu Island were generally stronger.
Even if they weren't chosen to join the Rocks Pirates, they naturally held a sense of superiority towards outside Pirates.
And the incoming Pirates were all ambitious, wanting to carve out their own territory on this Pirate Island.
Whether it was to gain fame or recruit powerful crewmates, Hachinosu was the best choice.
"Crack crack!"
Hades wouldn't give them face either, twisting his neck twice.
"Might as well stretch my muscles."
He was also ready to act.
This Island was his true battlefield.
He came to The Great Sea solely to become stronger!
To reach the peak of this Great Sea, not to play some Pirate game.
Hachinosu's Port gathered Pirates from all directions.
Even a slight commotion would quickly spread throughout the entire Island.
Hades and Titan had undoubtedly caused a huge stir.
"Everyone, attack! Kill those two."
A group of Pirates surrounded them, forming an empty Colosseum.
Pirates wielding Long Sabers continuously charged towards Hades and Titan.
Pirates roared excitedly, as if treating Hades and Titan as targets to be executed.
However, Titan and Hades were too strong.
Facing the incoming Pirates, Titan smashed them to death or sent them flying with a single hammer blow.
Hades danced like the wind, easily and leisurely avoiding attacks, then striking fatally.
The swinging Nightmare harvested the "wheat field."
The pressure from the Hachinosu Pirates was greater than Pirates from other places, but it was clearly not enough to threaten Hades and Titan.
Time flowed by.
The originally shouting Pirates gradually fell silent, watching the two figures in the center of the battlefield.
Shock and fear involuntarily surfaced in their hearts.
"These two guys, don't they get tired at all?"
For a full two hours, Titan and Hades had been slaughtering non-stop.
Over two thousand Pirates had already died, their bodies piled up like small mountains, and blood flowed on the ground.
The number of Pirates daring to charge forward became fewer and fewer, gradually forming a vacuum zone.
After recognizing the terrifying Strength of these two, they had thought they could wear them down with sheer numbers, but Hades and Titan's aura showed no change whatsoever.
Titan possessed abundant Stamina; this was merely a warm-up for him.
Hades's Physique was equally powerful, and more importantly, his control over his body allowed him to avoid unnecessary Stamina consumption.
The most crucial point was that there was no one among these Pirates who warranted their serious attention.
"Let's end this boring farce."
Hades said coldly, his gaze sweeping around.
No Pirates dared to charge forward anymore.
No matter how many more people came, they would ultimately face death.
Hades held Nightmare, raising the scythe handle.
The air solidified at this moment.
As the Scythe swung, a dense, unsettling aura appeared on the sharp blade.
A Slash symbolizing death continuously spread outwards.
Accompanying it was a constantly growing Death Vortex.
"Death Hunt!"
A cold voice echoed in the air.
In just a few seconds, the Death Vortex completely enveloped an area hundreds of meters around Hades.
The dense Power of Death, accompanied by the high-speed rotating Death Vortex, continuously invaded the bodies of those Pirates.
Any Pirate it touched would meet their end!
"No! No!"
A Pirate wailed in agony, his voice uncontrollably hoarse and weakening.
Unable to resist this terrifying Power, he watched helplessly as his body rapidly underwent Aging.
His Vitality was constantly being eroded and devoured.
His body became covered in wrinkles, emaciated, and he died with a look of despair.
And this was not the end.
The bodies of the dead were still being eroded, their Flesh and Blood gradually disappearing, leaving behind white Bone, which then cracked and turned into dust, scattering in the wind.
The Death Hunt, inherited from Jaeger, finally reappeared on this Great Sea.
The shock it brought was endless.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of lives vanished before their eyes.
Except for Hades and Titan.
All life within the affected range was annihilated.
It was as if they had never existed.
It was hard to imagine what it felt like to see a person "disappear" in such a short time.
And for the vast majority of Pirates, it was fear, absolute fear.
These two people, the most terrifying one was never the brutal attendant, but this purple-haired Noble.
"Is this the Ability of the Death-Death Fruit?"
In the distance, a blonde young man was somewhat shocked.
"What? Newgate, want to give it a try? This guy is joining our crew soon, you can get to know him in advance."
Shiki looked at Newgate and laughed.
"Spare me. This Ability is too overbearing. I need to consult those seniors to understand his Ability."
The young man named Edward Newgate was no fool.
How could he be Shiki's pawn to test Hades?
Life was too cheap in the face of the Death-Death Fruit.
When a person died, there was still a corpse, Flesh and Blood, proof of their existence.
But before the Death-Death Fruit, everything on the body would disappear.
Facing him was like facing death itself.
Edward Newgate had already felt threatened by this Power.
Although he was confident in his own Strength and could use Haki Emission, which could resist this terrifying Power to some extent.
But before obtaining sufficient Intelligence, he would not easily take risks, and besides, he had no reason to act.
Moreover, Hades looked young, but his Strength was not weak.
Compared to Hades, Newgate and Shiki could only be considered self-taught.
They initially gained fame on The Great Sea mainly relying on their own Talent.
It wasn't until they joined the Rocks Pirates that their Potential truly exploded.
It wasn't just the pressure from the environment; various Training Manuals could supplement their original foundation, and they could also access higher-level Power.
Although Rocks D.
Xebec wouldn't teach them, it was common for Pirates with decent Connections to exchange information with each other.
Hades, on the other hand, had access to the most elite education since childhood, with famous teachers guiding him, laying the most solid foundation.
His growth rate was also faster than Newgate's.
The difference in growth environments was enough to shorten the age gap.
If they were the same age, Hades would definitely be stronger than them.
Similar examples include the future Emperor of the Sea "Red-Hair" Shanks and the Marine Admirals.
One had Rayleigh's guidance, laying a solid foundation.
One had Zephyr, a famous teacher, guiding them, allowing them to avoid many detours and quickly convert Potential into Strength.
