From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 134 A bird in the hand is worth a thousand in the bush!
In teacher Zefa's courtyard.

When Bane and his group came in, Zefa had already dismantled the robotic arm and put it back. He looked very relaxed, sitting under the shade of a tree drinking tea.

"Godfather." Bane greeted him with a smile as he walked in.

Zephyr looked at Bane with relief and nodded, but then his face darkened and he said, "I just taught you not to take risks, but you put yourself in danger on this battlefield, taking advantage of the violence of the war and Kaido's pressure. Does this have to be the way to awaken the domineering aura of the Conqueror?"

Ben scratched his head awkwardly, then said, "It was just a spur of the moment."

"How many people have died because of this impulsive action!" Zefa glared at Bane, but finally gave him face and said, "Reflect on your actions after you go down!"

"Got it." Bane breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Zefa took the initiative to speak: "I don't know much about the practice of Conqueror's Haki. In fact, I felt that I had the ambition and qualifications to do so, but..."

Having said that, Zefa's eyes were filled with sadness again.

Bane knew what the story behind that was, a broken family.

He didn't know how to comfort Zefa, but it was obvious that Zefa didn't need anyone's comfort. He quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Zhan Guo is good at this. You should be thick-skinned and ask him when you have nothing to do. For my sake, he will teach you some relevant skills."

Compared to the navy bosses who are not sure whether they have the domineering aura or not, the navy marshal Sengoku is very clear about it!

He has the qualities of a king and possesses the domineering aura of a king!

This can be seen from the justice he upholds. Although this Grand Marshal looks gentle on the surface, he is actually a very domineering person. His justice is the justice of "ruling the world"!

"Hey, it happens that he will have to come to me for something in a while, and I will make some requests to him then." Bane agreed with a smile.

An old man in the family is like a treasure. Bane just didn't think of this just now, otherwise he would have asked for it. Marshal Zhan Guo would not refuse such a thing. Fortunately, after he came back, he had his adoptive father's advice and did not miss the opportunity.

"What does Zhan Guo want you to do?" Zefa was stunned for a moment and asked curiously.

"Speaking of which, it's about Impelton. I don't have the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit." Bane quickly told Zefa about the "conspiracy" between him and Sengoku.

After listening to this, Zefa nodded in agreement and said, "I've said long ago that we should kill all those pirates who are wasting food in Impelton. Now it seems that these bastards are still useful. What Zhan Guo said also makes sense. It's right that I can help you for a while, but during this period, you'd better build up your own prestige and connections as soon as possible. As the saying goes, if you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. In the final analysis."

"People have to rely on themselves!" Bane replied in a strong voice.

Zefa was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "That's right!"

Then, Zephyr pushed Bane aside and started preaching to them one by one, talking about Zoro, Weber, and Fubuki. Even Nami, who did not participate in the battle, was tested on the navy's navigation knowledge. Later, Zephyr exchanged some experiences about the fierce battle with Whitebeard with Yixiao, helping Yixiao digest the benefits and experience brought by this fierce battle.

I have to say that Yixiao may not be inferior to the big boss Zefa in terms of strength, but Zefa is really good at education. After several exchanges, Yixiao has benefited a lot.

After talking to everyone and having a good time as a teacher, Zefa lit a cigar and asked, "Why don't you go to rest? Is there anything else you want to discuss with me?"

Bane wanted to go up and take off his cigar several times, but he didn't do it in the end. Forget it, let the old man be free and easy. Anyway, he would have to go for treatment soon. This was the old man's only hobby. What else could he do?
"Well, it's like this, godfather, Marshal Zhan Guo also told me some 'heartfelt words' just now." Bane quickly talked about the 'candidate for general'.

"Do I have one too?" Yixiao asked excitedly.

He had always wanted to seek a higher position in the navy. That navy colonel thing was just a joke, and he certainly did not agree with it.

The reason why he wanted to seek a high position was not because Yixiao was a power-hungry person, but because he had always had an ambition in his heart, which was to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea system! For this matter, strength alone was not enough, and a certain power and status were needed to support it, so Yixiao was a little excited.

At this point in time, Yixiao actually didn't think he could become a general in one go. Without the World Government launching the "World Recruitment", such ideas were "wild dreams" and completely unrealistic.

He was actually very satisfied to be able to become a vice admiral of the navy and be listed as a candidate for admiral.

You can try harder for the following things!
"So what are your thoughts?" Zefa asked softly after slowly exhaling a puff of smoke.

Ben was really hesitant at this moment. He frowned and said, "How should I put it? I am tempted, but..."

Who is Zefa?

That was the true experience of having seen a lot. When Ben had this expression on his face, he immediately guessed something and said in a deep voice, "What future have you seen?"

Everyone present was a true family. Although Zephyr didn't know that Bane could travel through the world, he knew that Bane had some ability to see certain fragments of the future, which Bane had told him before.

So Ben didn't hide anything. He glanced and smiled, and immediately released his powerful observation Haki. After checking the surroundings, he nodded and said, "No problem."

Bane then spoke up and said, "It's like this. From what I've seen, our navy has paid a huge price in this war, and we have to launch operations against the New World. So in the near future, probably within a year or six months, the World Government will order the Navy Headquarters to start a world conscription. This time the situation is a bit special. The World Conscription can provide two admiral positions. In other words, if we wait until the World Conscription to join the Navy, after some competition and struggle, we may be able to directly take the position of admiral!"

Zefa was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Two generals? Why are there two general positions? Even if Zhan Guo retired, there should only be one general position left!?"

It is obvious that Zefa knew that Zhan Guo intended to retire.

"Marshal Sengoku hoped to nominate Kuzan as the new marshal of the navy, but Mary Geoise preferred Admiral Sakaski. Neither of the two admirals was willing to give in on this matter, so a battle for the position of marshal broke out. The final result was that Kuzan withdrew from the navy." Bane gave an answer after considering it for a while.

As soon as these words fell, everyone present fell silent.

Zefa's expression was even more complicated and it was hard to describe.

On the one hand, he felt somewhat ashamed that the two admirals had caused such a fuss and one of them had run away from home, especially since both of them were his apprentices.

On the other hand, Zefa is secretly contacting and winning over some of his old subordinates, and has already planned to "revolt". Now I hear that Kuzan will quit the navy in the future, which makes me excited!
"This is really beyond my expectation." Zefa finally sighed.

Ben also sighed slightly, and then asked: "So, teacher, what do you think I should do?"

"What the hell are you still deciding?" Zefa slammed the table and said, "You really don't remember what I told you before. You only grow muscles but not brains, right? Didn't I tell you that the future is impossible to be completely controlled by people? As the saying goes, a bird in the hand is worth a thousand birds in the bush. The one you catch in your hand is the reality, and the rest are just 'possibilities'. Let me ask you, are you really sure that this future situation will definitely happen?"

Actually, Bane certainly understands these principles, but sometimes, understanding does not mean that he can really make a decision quickly or make up his mind.

Everyone knows that studying hard and making progress every day will be beneficial for their future entry into society, but what are the results?
Especially this guy Bane is really a little off. He is smart, and sometimes he is as smart as a ghost, but sometimes he is blinded by temporary gains and losses. After all, he is just a young man in his early twenties, and it is normal for him to have these shortcomings.

After Zefa scolded him, he felt better.

In fact, he was not sure before. The Battle of Marineford had turned out like this and the changes were so drastic. Would the world conscription and the like really proceed as he predicted?

It's impossible to be sure, so Zefa is right.

A bird in the hand is worth a thousand in the bush!
