Chapter 331: The Three Sons' First Marines
Kronos Kingdom.
Standing before Hades were his three children.
The twelfth son, Shirek, the nineteenth son, Kyle, and the twentieth son, Ziglar.
Born in Sea Calendar 1489, they were now fourteen years old, their height approaching two meters.
Shirek had short black hair, a double-edged long sword at his waist, slightly gloomy eyes, and a cold smile on his face.
Kyle had short blonde hair and also carried a sword.
The expression on his face was very gentle, and coupled with his handsome appearance, it was easy to gain others' favor.
Kiglar, with deep purple hair, looked unremarkable, and also wore a sword.
These three were the children Hades wanted to join the Marines.
At this age, they were already ready to join the Marines.
In fact, as the situation in the Four Seas gradually stabilized, Hades felt relieved enough to send them to the Four Seas.
Hades knew that in two years, the Marines would establish the Marine Elite Training Camp.
It would bring together Navy Soldiers within the Marines who possessed considerable potential.
They would enjoy abundant resources and cultivation.
Upon graduation, they could become military officers, gaining a higher starting point.
Among the outstanding ones, they would be directly cultivated as adjutants to Marine Vice Admirals and Marine Admirals.
The promotion speed was not comparable to that of ordinary Marines.
In the North Blue, the future Marine Admirals, Sakazuki and Borsalino, had already joined the Marines.
They were under the former Marine Admiral, now the North Blue Governor, Davis "The Day Tiger".
Although they didn't have much fame on The Great Sea yet, according to intelligence, they had already gained Davis's regard and had been given high expectations, receiving focused cultivation.
Currently, they hadn't obtained Devil Fruits yet.
Swordsmanship and body technique were developing in all aspects.
Within the North Blue Marines, they were already well-known rising stars.
The future Admirals had already stepped onto the stage.
Even if the current Admiral Zephyr "Black Arm" hadn't encountered any accidents, according to Hades's conjecture, the appearance of the Marine Elite Training Camp would not be delayed, perhaps even earlier.
Joining the Marines earlier is the only way to exhibit one's potential, gain the recommendation of local Marine Officers, and enter the Elite Training Camp at Marine Headquarters.
Otherwise, it might be delayed by one or two years.
Hades looked at his three children.
Hades was very reassured about them.
With their current strength and potential, it was completely sufficient for them to gain a firm foothold in the Marines.
Kyle, Heartbeat-Heartbeat Fruit Ability User.
The Heartbeat-Heartbeat Fruit might not seem like a powerful ability, but in reality, if this ability is properly developed, it is very comprehensive.
It can accelerate blood flow by controlling the heartbeat.
To some extent, it can enhance battle strength during combat, restore injuries, and maintain the body's vitality.
It can listen to others' heartbeat and use this to guess their thoughts.
And the most terrifying ability is that Kyle can control the heartbeat of those he touches.
The heart is a fragile part of the human body.
Once its beating loses control, the consequences are absolutely unimaginable.
Whether it's too low or too high, it will cause others' bodies to collapse, ultimately leading to death.
If the Heartbeat-Heartbeat Fruit awakens, this ability will directly elevate to a terrifying degree.
Kyle might not reach the heights of other Monster in the Family.
But Hades still holds high expectations.
Because for the Kingdom, strength is certainly important, but it is not absolute.
What's more, how much worse could Kyle's future strength be?
On The Great Sea, he is also one of the top Strongman.
Among the many courses at the Royal Military Academy, Kyle is one of the outstanding individuals.
Like Shirek, they are basically geniuses who score full marks.
Shirek, Language Fruit Ability User.
This child is also not to be underestimated.
His own strength is not much different compared to Kyle.
He is slightly better than Kyle in Swordsmanship.
The Language Fruit can make people feel convinced involuntarily.
No matter what is said, even lies will have enhanced persuasiveness.
If there is one among these three children who can stir up trouble in the Marines, that would definitely be Shirek.
Extremely high IQ, especially possessing extraordinary talent in acting.
He has already undergone training for a year in the Netherworld, receiving praise from many Instructors.
Based on his understanding of this son, after joining the Marines, he definitely won't be as peaceful as Kyle.
The Language Fruit, coupled with Shirek's personality and ability, he is definitely a master at causing trouble.
What is before him now is Shirek's true appearance.
Once he reaches the Marines, Shirek will hide himself, becoming an excellent Marine.
Kiglar, Presence-Presence Fruit Ability User.
Can control his own presence.
Can both weaken his own presence, making people involuntarily ignore him.
And also enhance his own presence, becoming the focus of attention.
Looking at the Devil Fruit ability he chose, it seems that very early on, he had already decided what he would do in the future.
After all, those few brothers are truly too dazzling.
And they also have their own paths to walk.
"Since you have decided to join the Marines, in a few days, I will send you to the North Blue."
"I have arranged all your identities."
No one knows a son better than his father.
Hades roughly understands their thoughts.
When they decided to join the Marines, Hades had already begun to arrange his plan.
For Shirek and Kiglar, they both have clear identity sources.
Even if the Marines investigate, they won't find anything strange.
However, for Kyle's identity, Hades deliberately left some flaws.
"Kyle, I will reveal your true identity to the World Government beforehand.
However, don't worry about your true identity being exposed in the Marines.
The World Government will also arrange an identity as a cover."
Hades looked at Kyle, giving him a heads-up first.
This kind of thing.
.
.
"I understand, father."
Kyle nodded, already prepared.
"There is a young man named Sterling Carlos.
He will also join the Marines later.
You can communicate with him then.
He is the child of a friend of mine in the World Government."
The surname already indicates that person's identity.
Regarding the top family close to the Tartarus Family in the World Government, the three naturally wouldn't be unaware.
As for what his three children want to do after joining the Marines, Hades will not ask, nor will he interfere.
He trusts their choices.
However.
"Before you go to the Marines, you need to understand what the Marines are."
Some things, even the Family's teaching, did not mention, because they haven't reached that level yet; knowing or not knowing makes no difference.
Hearing Hades's words, Kyle and the other two pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"The Marines today, some say they are the lackeys of the Celestial Dragons, a violent organization that maintains the World Government's rule.
This is not wrong."
"But in essence, the Marines still made significant contributions to maintaining the world's stability.
This cannot be denied, whether in the past, present, or future."
"The establishment of the Marines did not entirely rely on the World Government, just like you cannot say that the builders of a Kingdom are Nobles.
This is incorrect."
"History itself is created by the Citizens.
The creation and establishment of the Marines inherently contains the hopes for peace from the Citizens of various Kingdoms and the aversion towards Pirates."
"Establishing the Marines did not rely solely on money, but also on individuals from around the world, from various Kingdoms, soldiers who possessed the ideal of justice and joined the Marines."
"The initial Marines were established in this way.
Money from all corners of the World, Citizens gathered from Around the World, ultimately formed such a vast organization without regional distinctions and without class divisions."
Hades peacefully recounted the initial Marines.
Before the eyes of Kyle and the other two, a magnificent scene of the Marines' establishment seemed to appear, converging the hopes of countless Citizens.
Some stereotypical impressions of the Marines slightly changed a little.
