# Chapter 360: The Over-Spec Monster
"What a freak!"
"Linlin, you really have created a true Monster!"
Looking at the Intelligence regarding the Monster Paradise, Hades couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Hades wasn't entirely clear on Typhon's specific Ability, but he could guess.
He had thought Typhon's own Potential was terrifying enough, but he hadn't expected such a terrifying Devil Fruit Ability.
Just like Charlotte Linlin, he could mass-produce Monsters.
And based on the effects his Ability exhibited, it was clear that Typhon's future was incredibly frightening.
The Monster Paradise had only been established for three years, yet it had already developed to this extent.
Although there weren't any powerful Monsters appearing yet, Hades didn't doubt that Typhon possessed that kind of Ability.
All that was lacking now was time.
To be honest, the upper limit of the Monsters created by Typhon's Ability was higher than Charlotte Linlin's Homies.
Some things could be anticipated.
Hades could also make some guesses about the upper limit brought by Typhon's Ability.
Frankly speaking, in Hades's view, Typhon's Ability was indeed a bit over-spec.
If he were truly given time, he might actually be able to create a Monster Legion that could sweep across the World.
This Ability was indeed a bit of a bug.
All of this was based on the fact that Typhon himself was a Monster, capable of developing his Ability to a degree that could influence others.
But upon closer inspection, this was somewhat difficult.
The key factor in the birth of Monsters was Typhon's blood.
His blood was limited; it couldn't be continuously taken out.
If it were Hades, he wouldn't do that either.
Typhon was extremely arrogant.
Hades had seen this before the Sword Tournament began.
Therefore, the number of the Monster Legion had a limit and wouldn't be too many.
Without enough military strength to maintain rule, Typhon wouldn't truly threaten them.
Regardless, Typhon's future, in Hades's heart, had been elevated to the same level as Shiki "The Golden Lion".
Who was Shiki?
The Great Pirate with the strongest Faction in this Era.
Even Whitebeard Edward Newgate was ranked lower than Shiki in Hades's internal sequence.
This had nothing to do with strength or Faction; what was important was, how far could they go?
Even in terms of personal strength and the high-end combat power of the Monster Legion, Typhon's Monster Legion surpassed the Flying Pirates.
Typhon's appearance had, to some extent, disrupted Hades's vision for the future of the Great Sea.
Because Hades had originally thought that no matter what changes occurred in the situation on the seas next, the most powerful Pirate Crew would definitely be the Flying Pirates.
Following closely behind would be Marshall D. Teach, whom he was secretly cultivating.
However, Typhon's sudden rise brought an unknown change to this situation.
Perhaps the Monster Legion ruled by Typhon would become the most powerful Pirate Faction in the New World.
This change wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
What was the point if the Great Sea was like stagnant water?
Let the wind turn.
Hades's heart still yearned for many new changes.
As for Typhon's strength, once the Kronos Kingdom's future grows, could it still withstand the encirclement of numerous Top Tier Combatants?
Next, Hades wanted to see what Typhon would do.
He was very much filled with expectation.
Typhon was smarter than Linlin, surpassing her in all aspects.
He wondered what kind of surprise he would bring.
In the upcoming war, Typhon would also expose more of his true capabilities, perhaps even revealing his true strength.
Let the Marines be the whetting stone.
"Sengoku, the target of the Monster Legion is likely the G3 Fortress or the G-4 Fortress.
Remember to move your position South, so you can provide reinforcements in the shortest amount of time."
The Marine Headquarters wasn't stupid.
Regarding the Monster Legion, which possessed aerial attack capability, they wouldn't foolishly think the Monster Legion would kill their way from North to South.
Therefore, they had to be prepared.
Upon receiving news of the Monster Legion's deployment, after some analysis, they immediately informed the Marines on the Front Line.
"Understood."
Sengoku naturally understood.
Not only him, but Garp's front line also had to shift inward.
Their action plan needed to change according to the change in the situation.
Now that the Monster Legion was attacking, while guarding against numerous Pirates, they also had to focus their primary energy on Typhon "King of Monsters".
Regardless, they had to stop Typhon.
The Marines originally wanted to first escort the numerous merchant ships on the Trade Route back to Red Port, but unfortunately, the number of Pirates was too large, and they hadn't had time to clear them out yet.
Now, with the arrival of Typhon "King of Monsters", it was too late.
These merchant ships and various resources, like delicious ripe fruit, continuously attracted Pirates.
Large numbers of Pirates and Marines began to constantly battle.
Under normal circumstances, these Pirate Crews would directly flee if they encountered the Marines, because if they were discovered, it would be difficult to gain anything from their actions.
For them, falling into danger with no gain was a very unworthy thing.
At the same time, the Marines wouldn't easily let them go.
The Marine Headquarters had issued orders: any warship encountering Pirates should charge directly or continuously pursue.
Only if they truly couldn't catch up, or if the enemy was truly an enemy they cannot handle, would they give up the target.
Giving up was rare; mostly, they would wait for reinforcements to arrive and then conduct an encirclement and annihilation.
The change in the Marines' plan was learned by Typhon's Intelligence Force immediately.
Sengoku moving South and Garp moving East was to guard against him.
"Then we'll go to the G-4 Fortress!"
Typhon was also very decisive.
He didn't give up the plan for this operation and resolutely shifted his target to the G-4 Fortress, which was further away and located in the southernmost part.
By going to the G-4 Fortress, the Marines' reinforcements would arrive later, giving the Monster Legion more time.
In reality, even if the Marines changed their plan, it wouldn't affect his ability to capture the G3 Fortress.
After all, the garrison force guarding the G3 Fortress consisted of only two Marine Vice Admirals.
Under absolute strength, Typhon was confident that he could lead the Monster Legion to completely capture the G3 Fortress within ten minutes.
But if he did that, the operation on the G-4 Fortress would inevitably fail.
And between the G3 and G-4 Fortresses, Typhon chose the G-4 Fortress, which was harder to deal with.
For no other reason than the Marine forces and their status guarding the G-4 Fortress were higher: the former Marine Admiral Shikai.
The Marines' garrison force and plan could make him wary, but they could never make him feel fear.
Since he had decided on the operation, he had to give the Marines a profound lesson.
He also wanted to see how long That Person, the former Marine Admiral, could last against him.
