Chapter 656: Pluto Pirates Kasa
Only three days remained until the start of the Sword Tournament.
The Sword Tournament only happens once every twelve years.
How many people would miss such a grand event?
Swordsmen from around the world gathered here.
To witness the birth of the World's Strongest Swordsman, even though the Great Pirate Era was just beginning with a surge in pirates, millions of people still flocked to Paros Island.
In the Grand Line and the Four Seas, the Sea Freight King Umit's transport ships were docked at some well-known Islands.
These ships were specifically prepared for the swordsmen participating in the Sword Tournament and the guests watching it.
The transport ships would take everyone to the Island Turtle.
In the Four Seas, each sea area had a massive Island Turtle arranged by the Kronos Kingdom.
The Island Turtles would safely transport them to the New World and bring them back after the Sword Tournament concluded.
Traveling through the Four Seas was not difficult for the Island Turtles.
The South and North of the New World are the North Blue and West Blue.
And the North and South of the First Half of the Grand Line are the East Blue and South Blue.
Island Turtles also possess the ability to pass through the Red Line.
Beneath the Red Line, located over a thousand meters deep in the deep sea, there is a large cavern that allows Island Turtles to pass through smoothly and reach the First Half of the Grand Line.
The Kronos Kingdom had long since begun promoting and clearing these routes.
These transport ships not only had powerful firepower, but each ship was also guarded by two Commodore-level combatant strengths who had mastered Two-Color Haki.
On the surface, it appeared to be a cooperation between the Sea Freight King Umit and the Kronos Kingdom, but in reality, the Kronos Kingdom was in control.
It was merely cloaked in Umit's name.
And the ships owned by the Sea Freight King Umit were basically all built on Puto Island, known as the "City of Shipbuilding" in the New World.
Compared to twelve years ago, Paros Island today has undergone earth-shattering changes.
It felt like arriving in a new world; never before had there been such a prosperous metropolis on The Great Sea.
Everything brought surprises to the arriving people!
The only thing that remained unchanged was the Sky Arena, standing in the center of Paros Island like a sharp sword piercing straight into the sky.
Connecting the sky and the land.
Especially the upper levels of the Sky Arena, which were surrounded by clouds and mist.
A giant clock was constantly counting down.
The various arenas inside the Sky Arena had been cleared out.
They were unusually calm.
The Luxury Suites inside the Sky Arena were booked up early.
Hotels of all kinds on Paros Island were overflowing with people.
Red lanterns hung outside all the fully booked hotels.
Luxury Palaces built for Nobles, tycoons, and even Important Figures from the New World were completely reserved.
The island's vast residential areas were also temporarily used as rental housing.
The Sky Apartments, floating in the sky and situated on Floating Clouds, were a beautiful sight.
They were wrapped around the entire Sky Apartments like silk ribbons.
There were even relatively simple, temporarily constructed Bubble Houses in the air on the island and on the sea.
These Bubble Houses were free during the Sword Tournament.
Even so, Paros Island was overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response.
Many people still chose to live on islands adjacent to Paros Island, requiring them to take a Sea Train or ships to reach Paros Island.
However, it didn't take much time.
New World, ships docked one after another.
Important Figures arrived at Paros Island.
Each appearance of an Important Figure could stir up a wave of cheers.
Many people gathered at the Port just to witness such scenes; many of these Important Figures from the New World were rarely seen.
Although they had heard of them, they had never met them.
There was also very little news about them in the newspaper.
Only the Paradise Card Group would release related cards.
People with collecting habits were already holding thick stacks of cards, matching them one by one to the arriving Important Figures.
In other parts of Paros Island, large screens were set up, also live streaming the scenes at the Port.
Passersby would also stop to watch.
The Port was filled with Media Reporters, and the live broadcast was facing the entire World.
Key figures always appear last; the arrival of these Important Figures basically happened in the last three days before the Sword Tournament began.
Before this, various Factions, big and small, had already arrived at Paros Island.
Of course, the most important point was that the vast majority of the Pluto Pirates' Cadres appeared at the Port of Paros Island.
Even for the Residents of Paros Island, seeing the main members of the Pluto Pirates was a very rare opportunity.
Especially the few who rarely made appearances.
With short purple hair, sitting on the Lonely Throne, a stern face, and eyes that seemed to look down on everything.
"Slaughter Angel" Xila.
Shuten Doji.
Tyr, the Son of Titan the "Glutton", and the younger brother of "King of Monsters" Typhon.
The three stood beside Kasa with different expressions.
Today, Kasa is the undisputed King of the Pluto Pirates.
Just like Hades was in his youth.
In addition, there were many young and powerful figures.
Randy Khazix, Son of Randy Orton the "Viper".
A Zoan Type Mantis Fruit Ability User.
Drax, Son of Batista, with his bare upper body revealing an incredibly strong physique, emitting a fierce aura.
Barton, Son of Barkley, and Bardock.
One a Zoan Type White Elephant Fruit Ability User, the other a pure Martial Arts Expert, standing with arms crossed, looking incredibly confident.
O'Neal, Son of Sheamus the "White Shark", sitting on the ground, tearing into a steak, his gaze indifferent as if he didn't care about anyone else.
Riley, Son of Ryback the "Silverback Gorilla".
Diana, Daughter of Dean the "Madman".
Too many young Strongmen gathered around Kasa.
Besides them, most of the old members of the Pluto Pirates were present.
Volibear, Warwick, Udyr, Rengar, the four Mink Warriors.
Bill Russell the "Ring King".
Sean the "Blood Hoof".
Daniel Romand the "Big Bug".
Monster after Monster who once followed "Pluto" Hades on campaigns, establishing great fame, gathered here.
As for the less famous Strongmen, those who joined the Pluto Pirates over the years, or were cultivated by the Pluto Pirates, graduates of the Royal Military Academy, there were simply too many.
And this was not the entire strength of the Pluto Pirates.
Some were guarding the important Islands in the Pluto Sea Area.
Some Strongmen also did not appear.
After many years, the Pluto Pirates once again exhibited their terrifying strength.
Especially some of the Strongmen present, their hearts were filled with unparalleled shock.
Too strong, for those Young Pirates, they could feel the gap between heaven and earth even more.
It was clear that this was the Pluto Pirates' first public appearance since Kasa took over the position of Captain of the Pluto Pirates.
From their positions, one could roughly guess that the old members of the Pluto Pirates were once again arranging the spotlight for the rookies.
Many people were actually very curious about Kasa, the Son of "Pluto" Hades, who took over as Captain of the Pluto Pirates at a young age.
But what was terrifying was that.
After staring at Kasa for not long, one would unconsciously feel their vision blur and feel dizzy.
As if looking at something that cannot be looked at directly.
A powerful Warp Field surrounded Kasa.
Beings with weaker strength would be affected by the Distortion Power.
Therefore, to this day, Kasa still maintains a sense of mystery.
