Pirate: Hades! ( One Piece)

Chapter 291: Sky Arena (2)

"Gurararara!

I'm also very interested in what it looks like inside."

Whitebeard laughed heartily.

Hearing about it couldn't compare to seeing it with his own eyes.

"Is this what cost one hundred billion Beli to build?"

There was still a fifty-meter high staircase leading to the Sky Arena's main entrance.

Stepping onto the staircase, they ascended layer by layer, as if on a pilgrimage.

The main entrance was wide open.

Looking at its height, it was at least fifty meters tall.

Figures shuttled back and forth in front of the entrance, with more people entering than leaving.

Even Giants wouldn't feel crowded inside the Sky Arena.

It could be said that the Sky Arena's main entrance was even larger than the standard for the Giant Tribe.

This also attracted many Giants from The Great Sea to Paros Island.

What came into view were four fully armed Giant Warriors, holding weapons and standing on either side of the main entrance.

The Pluto Pirates were truly extravagant.

Calculating based on the Sky Arena having four main entrances, with four Giant Warriors guarding each entrance, the Sky Arena had sixteen Giant Warriors just for guarding the doors.

From one side, a gaze so intense it seemed to burst with fire fixed intently on Hades.

There was no need to think; this was Charlotte Linlin's gaze.

She couldn't even get one Giant Warrior, yet Hades actually used sixteen Giant Warriors to guard the doors.

Truly!

How enviable!

"Greetings, His Highness."

Seeing the figure of Prince Loki, the four Giant Tribe guards lowered their heads and bowed.

The Elbaf Giant Tribe did not perform kowtows.

But towards Prince Loki of the Giant Tribe, even Giants not born in Elbaf still maintained respect for him.

Loki nodded to them, and then the Giant Warriors continued to perform their duties.

Besides the Pluto Pirates' own Giant Warriors, the Pluto Pirates also recruited some Giant Tribe members from The Great Sea.

Some of them were originally attracted by the Sky Arena itself.

There was also the cooperation between the Kronos Kingdom and the Kingdom of Elbaf Giants.

The Kronos Kingdom paid to employ warriors from the Giant Kingdom to guard the Sky Arena, allowing Elbaf to gain an additional revenue.

Inside the Sky Arena, besides the top eighteen floors, the main passages within were also guarded by Giant Warriors.

The implied meaning was self-evident: the Kronos Kingdom and the Kingdom of Elbaf Giants would have even closer connections.

This also demonstrated their capability, making the World Government hesitant to easily offend them.

The World Government also didn't dare underestimate the strength of the Giant Tribe, as the Giant Tribe was known as the strongest race.

They would only continuously weaken the Giant Tribe's strength through covert schemes.

Unfortunately, due to the appearance of the Rocks Pirates, the World Government failed.

Within just a few decades, they unified from division, and their strength gradually recovered to its peak.

The massive two-hundred-meter-high space was exactly as the news had reported.

The map displayed on the wall clearly showed the internal layout of the Sky Arena, including the locations of each Arena and Area.

Even if you didn't know, asking the service staff inside the Sky Arena would naturally lead you there.

Currently, the Sky Arena was open except for the top floor.

Just the first floor was packed with people; looking around, one could see figures of various races.

Including some Giants from Elbaf.

From a distance, the ten-meter-wide large screen was showing footage of battles inside the Arena.

The shouts from the venue were incredibly intense.

In front of the large screen, a large crowd gathered.

The Arena inside was already full of people, so how could they buy tickets?

They could only watch from outside.

Moreover, the venue ticket price for the first floor of the Sky Arena wasn't expensive for most people, only requiring two hundred Beli, which was about the cost of four newspapers.

And tickets were different, divided into three levels: an entry ticket allowed viewing ten battles in one Arena on the first floor, which was the lowest level, costing only two hundred Beli.

An intermediate ticket allowed viewing thirty battles in one Arena on the first floor, costing five hundred Beli.

An advanced ticket allowed viewing for one day on the first floor, costing one thousand Beli.

Because the first floor had the weakest overall strength, combined with the possibility of stronger individuals appearing, the battle pace was very fast.

Fighting over a hundred matches in a day was not a problem.

Currently, the first floor of the Sky Arena had two hundred and fifty-six Arenas, and each Arena had six hundred spectator seats.

The first floor of the Sky Arena was completely packed.

Even ordinary residents wouldn't miss such intense great battles.

Even if each spectator seat only sold one ordinary ticket per day, the ticket price revenue for the first floor would be close to thirty million Beli.

But this was impossible; in fact, the revenue far exceeded this price, surpassing one hundred million Beli, because the first floor of the Sky Arena could be said to be completely full all day.

This was just the entrance ticket price for the first floor for one day.

The calculation of entrance tickets for different levels of the Sky Arena was different.

The higher the level, the higher the base entrance ticket price.

Upon reaching the tenth floor, Sky Arena entrance tickets would be purchased per single match.

If the first floor still saw the appearance of some ordinary people, then starting from the upper half of the Sky Arena, which was the tenth floor, it was a watershed.

As the Kronos Kingdom had envisioned, the battles starting from the tenth floor were entirely superhuman level battles, which corresponded to Marine Headquarters Lieutenant Commander.

By analogy, the eleventh floor was Lieutenant Colonel, the twelfth floor Colonel, the thirteenth floor Commodore, and the fourteenth floor Rear Admiral.

Above the fifteenth floor were Vice Admiral Level Monsters.

Of course, this was just a concept and required ten, twenty years of time for evolution.

Moreover, the division of strength was never so clear-cut and shouldn't be taken too seriously; the envisioned levels were merely approximate strength.

Breakthroughs during battle and instances of the weak defeating the strong were simply too numerous on The Great Sea.

As for the very top floor, they likely possessed combat strength comparable to Elite Vice Admirals or even Quasi-Admirals.

As for Admiral Level Top Tier Combatants, Hades hadn't considered them.

At that degree, why would they remain in the Battle Pyramid?

Basically, after reaching a certain degree of strength and gaining sufficient accumulation within the Battle Pyramid,

if they were Pirates,

after acquiring enough wealth, establishing a Pirate Crew, purchasing a Pirate Ship, recruitment, or obtaining the desired Devil Fruit, they would leave the Sky Arena.

These were all expected occurrences.
