Chapter 77: Recruitment Tournament Rules
Hachinosu's annual grand event arrived as scheduled.
"It's really lively!"
Standing from a high vantage point, Hades gazed at the surging crowds in the distance.
Every day, tens of thousands of Pirates poured into the entire Island.
The various commercial activities made it exceptionally lively.
Even Hades's Exchange became somewhat crowded.
Hachinosu is the center of the New World.
Because this is the base of the world's strongest, most terrifying Pirate Crew, the Rocks Pirates.
Now is the liveliest time of the year on Hachinosu.
The annual Recruitment Convention is being held on the Island.
Pirates from every corner of the New World will flock here, just to compete for a spot to join the Rocks Pirates.
For them, joining the Rocks Pirates is undoubtedly a step up to the heavens.
Even just for fame, this convention will be a top-tier stage.
Of course, joining the Rocks Pirates requires going through extremely brutal slaughter.
Every year is a feast of blood.
Pirates who believe their strength is insufficient won't participate.
Just watching the battles is a form of enjoyment for these crazy Pirates.
"This is your first time here. You'll get used to it after seeing more."
"I just wonder which outstanding young Pirates will emerge this time."
Edward Newgate wasn't particularly interested in such slaughter, even though he had come up through it himself.
Even if they successfully survive, they are merely cannon fodder.
What he cares about are those who perform exceptionally well in this convention.
"It seems I was quite lucky, avoiding a lot of trouble."
Hades chuckled softly.
"Gurararara! Hades, don't joke around. You've already gone through a slaughter yourself!"
Hades's words made Edward Newgate burst into laughter.
"You caused quite a stir back then."
"Let's go. As members of the Rocks Pirates, we all need to make an appearance. Every time, many Pirates challenge us, and we have no right to refuse."
"Okay."
Regarding the Rocks Pirates' rules, Hades already understood them perfectly.
Upholding the principle of strength is King to the end.
Like Hades, Titan, and Charlotte Linlin, if they participated in the Recruitment Convention, they would definitely take the top spot, challenge a cadre of the Rocks Pirates to replace them, and thus take a step up to the heavens.
But that would also lose the sense of expectation, because the final winner is simply too obvious.
Therefore, powerhouses who reach a certain level are personally recruited by Rocks D.
Xebec, or recruited by his subordinates, skipping the step of the Recruitment Convention.
Most Pirates recruited through the Recruitment Convention are cannon fodder.
Only a few Pirates can stand out.
If Hades participated, he could kill them all with the ability of the Death Fruit.
Some originally outstanding powerhouses who could grow up would be stifled, which is detrimental to the development of the Rocks Pirates.
The Rocks Pirates appear very chaotic, but within the chaos, there is an ultimate order that maintains the Rocks Pirates' development and growth.
While there is internal friction, it is not absolute.
"Ahahaha..."
"Is this the strongest man in the world?"
"How terrifying!"
"In front of him, I don't even have the desire to attack."
"I can't breathe."
Hachinosu was incredibly lively, with large numbers of Pirates yelling and clashing with each other.
At this moment, a group of people walked towards them, and all the Pirates began to boil with excitement.
The main members of the Rocks Pirates had arrived.
Leading the way was naturally Rocks D.
Xebec, walking with hearty laughter, bringing an endlessly terrifying aura that assailed the many Pirates.
It was the usual show of force, Haki like the arrival of doomsday, instantly enveloping the entire Island.
The terrifying aura intimidated countless Pirates.
The several great Kings who followed, John, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, Shiki, Edward Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, and many other Pirates with the potential of a King, were also like this.
Releasing their own aura.
Hades naturally followed suit.
Even powerhouses without Conqueror's Haki also released their own powerful presence.
Waves of terrifying aura were released simultaneously, causing terrifying effects.
The entire sky became covered in dark clouds, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling.
Nature itself seemed to tremble under the numerous wills, as if a natural disaster had arrived.
This terrifying entrance collectively formed a historical tableau of villains.
The dominance and majesty belonging to the Rocks Pirates completely shocked all the Pirates.
The unmatched strength and presence made the secretly observing World Government, Marines, and numerous Member Nations feel fear.
Facing the targeted surprise attack from the Marines, the Rocks Pirates are bound to launch a frantic counterattack, right after the Recruitment Convention is held.
At that time, whether it's the Marines, the World Government, or the Member Nations, they will all be potential enemies of the Rocks Pirates.
The strength displayed by the Rocks Pirates is truly terrifying.
Some Member Nations have even begun to transfer population and wealth, preparing for a comeback.
The demise of the Croydia Kingdom sounded an alarm in their hearts.
The World Government and Marines are equally untrustworthy.
The Rocks Pirates are simply unstoppable, even more terrifying than the Giant Soldier Pirates fifty years ago.
Everyone swallowed their saliva, looking at this terrifying Pirate Crew.
Most of the cadres and core members of the Rocks Pirates were present.
Even the most ordinary members had an extraordinary presence.
After all, even without counting the affiliated pirate group and affiliated force, the Rocks Pirates are a super legion of eight thousand people.

It can be said that they gather the elites of the entire New World.
Even if they are cannon fodder, that's only in the eyes of those powerhouses.
On The Great Sea, each of them possesses extraordinary strength, and mastering Haki is an absolute basic requirement.
Rocks revealed a smile like a demon.
"brats, let this old man see your strength."
"The rules are simple. kill ten people, bring their heads before us, and you can become a member of the Rocks Pirates."
"kill to your heart's content!"
As soon as Rocks spoke, the entire square seemed to fall silent.
Even the members of the Rocks Pirates were somewhat surprised.
Isn't this a bit too easy?
Unlike the previous rules, the slaughter in the past was more intense.
The number of participants each time reached tens of thousands.
The Rocks Pirates usually had a limit on the number of members recruited, generally only recruiting four or five hundred people.
The number of Pirates this year was particularly high, also attracted by the powerful battle achievements of the Rocks Pirates in plundering a kingdom.
After all, in comparison, the Rocks Pirates were indeed somewhat low-key in the previous years.
With a glance, Hades guessed that the number of participating Pirates was probably around thirty thousand.
According to this, three thousand people would ultimately survive and join the Rocks Pirates.
This means the difficulty of joining the Rocks Pirates has decreased, and these Pirates have a greater chance of joining the Rocks Pirates.
You only need ten heads to join the Rocks Pirates.
Isn't that very simple?
Although it says you need to kill ten people, for Pirates, using any means necessary is the norm.
There has never been a rule that you must kill them yourself.
kills by others are also acceptable.
