Chapter 230: The Cadres' Children
"Go, claim your children."
Hades smiled as he watched this scene.
Who wouldn't want a child of their own?
However, many pirates were used to being alone, and that drifting life could be a disaster for many children.
"Poisonous Snake" Randy Orton stepped forward.
From the very beginning, he had noticed a child who had looked at him multiple times.
His expression was peaceful, and his gaze didn't waver in the slightest.
This was his child.
"What's your name?"
"Kha'Zix."
"Good. I'll come find you again. Next time, we can have a good chat, and even spar."
The usually cold Randy Orton rarely showed a smile, but he didn't know what else to say.
However, there would be plenty of time in the future.
Kha'Zix pursed his lips.
It was clear he was still a bit nervous inside and didn't know what to say to his father.
"Kid, tell me your name."
"Beast" Batista came before a child who looked very similar to him, almost identical, like a smaller version of himself.
However, the child was bare-chested, with mysterious red markings carved onto his body.
"Drax."
"Oh, the markings on your body look good. Do they have any special meaning? I'll get some similar ones myself."
Every cadre was a strongman.
They could roughly determine which child was theirs just by the children's gazes.
Soon, many cadres briefly met their children.
"Tyrant" Baal, daughter Katarina.
"Undertaker" Caraway, son Fiddlesticks, daughter Kai'Sa.
"Blade Edge" Aiji, daughter Irelia, son Ike.
"White Shark" Mosis, son O'Neal.
The eldest son of the Iskanbel Family, and a cadre under Hades, "Conqueror King" Iskanbel Rellis, had a daughter, Nidalee.
"Gladiator" Gober, son Olaf.
"Giant Arm" Mark Henry, son Gragas.
"Silverback Gorilla" Laibeike, son Riley.
"Giant Dog" Lei'ens, son Reg.
"Madman" Dean, daughter Diana.
"Holy Shield" Rollins, son Jayce.
"Blood Hoof" Sean, son Schindler.
"Orc" Brock Lesnar, son Lemoine.
"Monster" Stu Man, son Kromer.
"Iron Fist" Cesarō, sons Poppy, Kennen.
"Porcupine" Barkley, sons Bardock, Barton.
"Savage" Cowens, son Mundo.
"Bone Crusher" Anseld Weiss, son Tryndamere.
"Ring King" Bill Russell, son Twisted Fate, daughter Lux.
"Big Bug" Daniel Romand, son Cho'Gath.
"Iron-Blooded General" Stokes, son Darius, daughter Orianna.
Marine Rear Admiral David, son Gangplank.
These were all key cultivation targets for the Kingdom.
Some, like Trandell, who were born with powerful physiques, had already exhibited their talent.
Others had also exhibited their special abilities in other areas.
Like begets like.
No matter what, the future of these children wouldn't be bad.
The oldest of these children were ten years old, which was still quite young.
However, Hades and the others had plenty of patience.
The first meeting was brief, and some rather interesting things happened during it.
Dean, known as the "Madman," was incredibly humble in front of his daughter, as if his heart had been softened, showing a tendency to become a doting father.
"Tyrant" Baal also exhibited a doting attitude towards his daughter that was never seen normally.
"How is it? Have you made a decision?"
Leaving the Royal Military Academy, Hades looked at the many members and asked.
It seemed somewhat unexpected.
All the members hoped to retain their pirate identity and continue operating as members of the Pluto Pirates.
Although the Kronos Kingdom was very good, there was ultimately a layer of separation between the two.
It made them feel somewhat constrained.
By comparison, the pirate identity felt freer.
"That's fine too. The Royal Military Academy has a two-day break every two weeks and a five-day break every three months. You can still come back and visit if you have time."
Hades was very tolerant.
He was even a little worried that too many members would join the Kronos Kingdom, leaving the Pluto Pirates without enough strength to guard the territory of over a hundred islands.
As time passed, people would always lose their sense of awe.
The flag of the Pluto Pirates alone could not truly protect these islands.
What was needed was absolute strength.
However, even the Pluto Pirates didn't have enough manpower.
Next, a group of people would be transferred from the army and the marines to join the Pluto Pirates, completely turning these islands into the kingdom's territory.
At the same time, the marines would also expand their patrol range to deter the pirates who dared to target the Kronos Kingdom.
In fact, many pirates who had built ships on Puto Island knew clearly that this sea area had a kingdom that should not be provoked.
Most troublemakers had already been buried in The Great Sea.
Of course, there was also an unspoken rule: as long as they didn't cause trouble in this sea area, the Kronos Kingdom wouldn't bother them, and neither would the Pluto Pirates.
Next, the kingdom had many things to deal with.
The most important was the vast territory occupied by the Pluto Pirates.
Just three months later.
On Sea Calendar 1485, June 21st, Hades would succeed to the throne and become the King of the Kronos Kingdom.
