**Chapter 482: Ten Thousand Snakes Loki**
Undoubtedly, the World Government's operation failed.
Holding a Poneglyph weighing over a thousand tons severely impacted the strength of the CP0 Director-General, even after he transformed into a Mythical Dragon.
Against the faster "Tyrant Dragon" Zak, he had no way to escape with the Poneglyph.
After a brief exchange, with Zak specifically targeting him, the Poneglyph fell from his claws and crashed onto the earth.
It was then surrounded by members of the Tyrant Dragon Pirates who arrived subsequently.
After a great battle, he had no choice but to retreat.
It was impossible for him to snatch the Road Poneglyph from the Tyrant Dragon Pirates by himself.
The Government also wouldn't go to war with the Tyrant Dragon Pirates.
Of course, this might also be a good thing.
With the Road Poneglyph in the hands of the Tyrant Dragon Pirates, those who come later and wish to obtain it will inevitably face the Tyrant Dragon Pirates, a strong enemy.
The matter concluded there.
Just like the events that transpired within Wano Country, there was no news of it in the outside world.
Only a few factions who had planted spies within the Tyrant Dragon Pirates received some intelligence.
In the East Blue, a super luxury cruise ship sailed slowly on the Sea Surface.
The artillery pieces gleamed silver under the light, each muzzle looking menacing.
Pirate Ships encountered along the way fled in fear, their faces filled with terror.
Even Marine warships they met had to give way.
The national flag belonging to the Kronos Kingdom fluttered in the wind.
Besides that, there was also a flag with countless snake shadows.
Today, this flag is widely known on The Great Sea.
Starting from early last year, Möbius began his "Four Seas Tour".
Preparations had been made long in advance.
Möbius first used his pocket money to specially order a luxury cruise ship on Puto Island.
Calling it a cruise ship is less accurate than calling it a warship; its powerful firepower is enough to make countless pirates tremble with fear.
Even Hades's son, wanting to do something, has to spend money; there's never anything for free.
Of course, Möbius is not short on money, and neither are Hades's other children.
Although they cannot compare to the Celestial Dragons, as long as they reach eight years old, Hades will give them 100 million Beli every year to spend as they please.
Expenses within the Kingdom are not high, and the wealth accumulated over the years is also enormous.
Back then, Ignis himself could produce over a billion Beli, which included not only his own but also his younger brother Abraham's.
This cruise ship alone cost 600 million Beli, and that was after a discount based on Möbius's identity.
Sometimes, Möbius would even hide his identity and go to the Sky Arena to earn some Beli.
Simply by using some inside intelligence, or by relying on his own insight to bet on wins and losses in the Sky Arena.
After just a few years, they could accumulate considerable wealth.
Moreover, many of the Competitors in the Sky Arena are acquaintances from the Royal Military Academy, whose backgrounds they know well, allowing them to make money through intelligence gaps.
Even within the Kronos Kingdom, within the Royal Military Academy, there is a Special Group that spontaneously formed specifically to research and bet on the gambling in the Sky Arena.
Some people specialize in doing just this.
They collect intelligence on the outstanding individuals within the Royal Military Academy, observe the members fighting in the Sky Arena, analyze their strength, and place bets, achieving an extremely high success rate.
They inherently possess an intelligence advantage.
Quite a few members of the Royal Military Academy are members of this Special Group, including Möbius and Hades's other sons.
They only need to inject a certain amount of funds into it and then wait to collect the money.
A summary is done once a year, and then the money is distributed.
The Kronos Kingdom did not prevent this; they themselves were the beneficiaries.
For a Kingdom like Kronos, they are the house, and the biggest share is always taken by them.
Besides the Sky Arena, the Kronos Kingdom has also established large casinos on relatively prosperous islands and kingdoms around the World.
Just this alone allows them to earn huge profits every year.
Just one month after the "Thousand-Hand Bodhi" was completed, the "Four Seas Tour" officially began.
This sea fortress, approximately 300 meters long, initially had close to a thousand Crewmates.
Most of them were acquaintances Möbius made at the Royal Military Academy, and some were friends he met at the Sky Arena.
In a sense, many people were birds of a feather with Möbius, enjoying battle and enjoyment.
Especially the latter.
Compared to Hades's other children, Möbius's personality could be described as vile, cold-hearted, eccentric, and even somewhat doing as he pleased.
However, his excellent point is that he can control himself.
It is precisely this kind of personality that has gathered a large group of rebels around Möbius.
They follow Möbius, wandering the Great Sea, going wherever they want.
From the Pluto Sea Area, they came to the Former Half of the New World, then passed through Red Port to the First Half of the Grand Line.
Afterwards, they headed to the Four Seas, toured around each Sea Area, and then returned.
Up until now, Möbius has arrived in the East Blue; he hasn't been to the other three Sea Areas yet.
His identity was not concealed; the Kronos Kingdom's Flag alone explained everything.
However, not many people know about the Kronos Kingdom or Möbius's identity, because the level of most people is not high enough.
This also led to quite a few people looking for trouble during the voyage.
Ultimately, without exception, they were all eliminated, becoming stepping stones for Möbius to become famous.
Möbius's infamy as "Underworld Serpent" also continuously spread during the voyage.
The group also continuously grew, having expanded to over two thousand people.
And the name "Ten Thousand Snakes" subsequently resounded throughout the Great Sea.
Ten Thousand Snakes is the Faction represented by everyone on this luxury cruise ship, led by Möbius.
It also represents the flag with countless snake shadows on the other side of the ship.
"Hey! Möbius, there's an Island of Chaos ahead. Are you going to start your strange hobby again?"
A young man with silver hair, dressed in pure white clothing, leaned on a sofa, holding a cane in one hand and crossing his legs.
He was biting on a lollipop, looking at the figure in front of him with some amusement.
Möbius, with long black hair, wearing only a sleeveless shirt with his chest open, had a handsome and demonic face, and strange markings on his arms.
Sitting opposite him, he had a beautiful Snake-Human Girl with green scales in his left arm and another with white scales in his right, their beautiful snake tails rubbing against Möbius's legs as they lay affectionately in his embrace.
"Heh! I've said it many times, Loki, this is training."
Facing Loki's teasing, Möbius explained, as if he'd said it a hundred times, and as he spoke, he kissed the cheek of the beautiful Woman standing behind him, giving him a massage.
Knowing what would happen next, the Woman behind him consciously moved aside.
Only to see two thick, slightly darkened blue veins emerge directly from behind Möbius.
They hung down to the ground, slithering like long snakes towards the ground, continuously spreading, and even continuously splitting and expanding.
The two blue veins continuously branched, becoming four, becoming eight.
.
.
In the blink of an eye, a large Area of the ground was covered by Möbius's blue veins.
The blue veins, different from ordinary people, even continuously widened.
When they extended beyond the cruise ship, each blue vein was as thick as an arm, advancing towards the Island not far away along the Sea Surface like pythons.
If viewed from a distance, it was as if a layer of green was spread on the Sea Surface.
Yet it continuously expanded with astonishing speed.
