Chapter 181: The Criminal Besoro Breaks Free from Restraint
"Let me out! I'll tell you where my treasure is hidden!"
A Pirate shouted loudly.
He was already impatient to escape this sea of suffering.
Hades's arrival undoubtedly brought him hope.
The aura of freedom had never been this close to him.
The Rocks Pirates invading Impel Down surely weren't here for fun.
Their objective was most likely to rescue someone.
Since that was the case, why not release them along the way?
His words made the eyes of the other Pirates light up.
In fact, they were all already impatient.
This was like a fuse being lit.
"Let me out, I can do anything for you!"
"I can join your ranks!"
"I'll serve you like an ox or horse!"
"I also have a huge treasure!"
.
.
.
All the Pirates in Infinite Hell yearned for Hades to rescue them.
The noisy sounds, however, made Hades somewhat displeased.
"Hmph!" Hades frowned and let out a cold snort.
A terrifying aura specifically enveloped everyone, making it feel as if a mountain was pressing down on them, causing most of the Pirates in Infinite Hell to gasp for breath.
Compared to Hades, they were nothing.
Furthermore, in Impel Down, they didn't have enough food to replenish their energy, so their physical condition was extremely weak.
After being intimidated by Hades, they understood what it meant to shut up.
These Pirates were not Hades's main targets; at most, they were just substitutes.
Although rescuing them was also one of the objectives, he couldn't be too lenient with these Pirates.
Hades continued walking deeper into Infinite Hell, finally stopping in front of a cell.
Looking at the tall figure inside the cell, with his sturdy physique, the constantly bulging muscles stretched his loose prisoner's uniform, emitting a terrifying aura like a ferocious beast.
"Violence King" Kosa was here.
"The little Pirate from back then has grown to this extent."
Looking at Hades, Kosa felt a bit emotional.
Hades's growth rate was too fast.
Although there was no concept of time in Impel Down, they knew the passage of time through the descriptions of newly arrived Pirates, and he also knew some of Hades's deeds.
"Heh heh! The Captain specifically came to rescue you. You are free now, Kosa." Hades chuckled softly.
There wasn't much respect for Kosa in his words.
After all, within the Rocks Pirates, their current statuses were equal.
While chatting and laughing, Hades casually tossed a key into the cell.
"Thud!"
Heavy shackles clattered to the ground.
The Seastone Chains that restrained Kosa were undone.
Moving his body, his bone joints creaked with a "creak, creak" sound, feeling his dormant strength gradually recover.
With just one punch, the cell was broken by Kosa.
Although Kosa was not at his peak state, his strength was still terrifying.
The tall figure stepped out of the cell, spread his arms, and took a deep breath, as if smelling the aura of freedom.
Although he hadn't escaped Impel Down yet, wasn't it a foregone conclusion after the Rocks Pirates invaded Impel Down?
Kosa had absolute confidence in Rocks, especially in the strength of the Rocks Pirates.
This scene fell into the eyes of the many Pirates in Infinite Hell.
They all went crazy, desperately pounding on the cells.
Emitting piercing "clang, clang, clang" sounds.
With those yearning gazes, Hades did not disappoint their expectation.
He took out all the keys to Infinite Hell and threw them directly onto the ground.
He didn't intend to personally rescue these Pirates.
The keys were here; he believed they would find a way.
Although these Pirates were not at their peak state, they could still unleash powerful strength under the restraint of Seastone.
An air cannon fired with a single punch directly hit the keys, sending them into the opposite cell.
A Pirate came out.
Under Hades's gaze, he didn't dare to be arrogant at all and silently handed the keys to the other Pirates.
Soon, all the living, and the half-dead ones who were just skin and bone, walked out of their cells in Impel Down.
Hades's gaze was fixed on That Person, the sea overlord of the previous era, "King of Hell" Mephisto Blaze.
Kosa was the same.
He only began to rise after Blaze's era ended.
It could be said that he lived in the era when Blaze's might shook the Great Sea.
In the entire Impel Down, besides Kosa and Blaze, another Top Tier Combatant was imprisoned.
He was only considered ordinary among admiral level individuals, but on the Great Sea, he was absolutely a terrifying strength.
Hades recognized him.
He was also a Strongman who had once shaken the world.
"Hunter King" Besoro, who single-handedly established the Bounty Hunter Guild, bringing together the scattered strength of the Bounty Hunters.
Besides hunting Pirates, Bounty Hunters also accepted employment and posted missions, such as clearing out Pirates.
As long as you could afford the Beli, and someone accepted the mission, someone would complete it.
This was an absolutely neutral Faction.
It gained immense prestige upon its establishment, and the Faction of the Bounty Hunter Guild also rapidly expanded.
With the establishment of the Bounty Hunter Guild, the Great Sea gained a certain degree of peace.
The number of Pirates rapidly decreased.
The bounty on Pirates was issued by the World Government and the Marines.
However, the mission amount in the Bounty Hunter Guild could be posted by multiple people simultaneously.
If a Pirate's bounty was five million.
Then in the Bounty Hunter Guild, the mission amount to kill him would be twenty million, or even thirty million or higher.
Plundered Merchant Guilds, Small Town Residents, and even Kingdoms could be the targets for revenge against them.
In a Small Town, if each resident contributed a portion, the accumulated amount would be a terrifying sum.
It could be said that the more mistakes a Pirate made and the more people he offended, the more valuable his head became in the Bounty Hunter Guild.
Money makes the world go round, and this was even more true for Bounty Hunters.
It was much more attractive than the Marines' bounty.
The scope of missions was not limited to just this area; it was all-encompassing.
Searching for a certain ingredient not found in this area, or even searching for a lost cat, were all within the scope of missions.
The reason Hades knew him was that Besoro was active in the years before he joined the Rocks Pirates.
Unfortunately, just as the Bounty Hunter Guild was gaining momentum, Besoro, its leader, mysteriously disappeared, and the Guild also disintegrated under some irresistible strength.
It now seemed the World Government was behind it.
It was also within Hades's expectations.
The existence of Bounty Hunters, to a certain extent, replaced the role of the Marines and affected the World Government's rule over the Great Sea.
People always tried to establish a Bounty Hunter Guild; this wasn't the first time in these past few hundred years, but each time it ended without resolution.
The World Government would not allow the existence of such a Faction that would affect its rule.
With "Hunter King" Besoro reappearing on the Great Sea, the disbanded Bounty Hunter Guild would definitely be re-established.
Having learned his lesson once, Besoro would certainly be more cautious.
In a sense, Besoro was a relatively upright character.
Hades was also somewhat filled with expectation, wondering what he would do next.
