"What a bold move!"
Red's gaze sharpened, and he could not help marveling.
Dove and Owl, two top combatants, were relatively unfamiliar to Red.
Perhaps he had sensed their presence during his previous visits to the Kronos Kingdom.
But this was his first time meeting them face-to-face.
The Kronos Kingdom had never directly entered the fray.
Except during Hades's days as a pirate.
Even when Red had infiltrated the World Government's secret base researching longevity drugs to rescue his kin, the Kronos Kingdom had not intervened.
It had merely used the Mirror World's power to take them straight out of the secret base, leaving him with nothing to worry about.
This time, Red had expected the same arrangement.
He had not imagined that Hades would be willing to send two powerful combatants to support his operation.
There was no smoke without fire. Red knew Hades must have another objective.
Sending people to help him was merely incidental.

"When the time comes, disguise yourselves as members of the Blood Tribe and act alongside Red."
"If any powerful fighters from the World Government arrive, eliminate them all."
"You can get to know each other's fruit abilities. No one will be able to stop you."
Hades folded his arms across his chest, a calm smile on his face and a terrifying depth in his eyes.
With Redfield and two top combatants from the Kronos Kingdom, it was just as he had said: no one could stop them.
Although Dove's strength had declined a little, the loss was mostly in his stamina.
As a user of the Paramecia-type Transfer Fruit, he possessed a game-breaking spatial movement ability that let him easily escape with others if danger arose.
