From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 15 If you get into trouble in the future, just don’t tell your master about it.

East China Sea, Navy 153rd Branch Base.

Smoker, the admiral of the East China Sea, is currently sitting in the base chief's office, intending to select a suitable navy officer to succeed the 153rd branch base chief from a large pile of personnel information.

On the sofa not far in front of him, Garp was eating senbei and drinking tea, looking very comfortable.

After flipping through the documents for a while, Smoker rubbed his brows tiredly and said, "Mr. Cap, are you planning to stay here with me? Didn't you say you were here to visit your grandson?"

"I came to visit my grandson, but I didn't say which grandson it was." Karp laughed.

Smoker was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Fire Fist?"

Although not many people knew about it, the fact that Ace was Garp's adopted grandson was not a particularly secret matter. Most people in the navy who had some friendship with Garp knew about it.

And Smoker is actually one of the insiders.

"Yes, it was that bastard Ace." Garp suppressed the smile on his face, and then said gloomily, "Back then, he accidentally ran away and became a pirate. I wanted to catch him myself, but when I had time, he actually got on the ship of that old man Whitebeard. At that time, Sengoku told me not to act rashly, so this matter has been delayed."

Smoker had some objections to what Garp said. If he remembered correctly, Fire Fist Ace was almost recruited as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, right?

However, he wisely did not expose Garp's words, but asked: "Then why do you always stay here with me? Can you wait for the Fire Fist here?"

"It's very likely!" Garp said in a deep voice, "The reason why Ace came out of the New World this time was to catch the little guy named Bane. As everyone knows, Bane received the bounty from Sachi in your hands. He also disappeared in the East China Sea after leaving Rogue Town under your command. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, I guess that kid will come to you to inquire about the information."

Smoker touched his chin, then nodded in agreement, "It is indeed possible. After all, he is your grandson. It is not impossible that he is so bold as to ask our navy for information as a pirate."

"Why do I feel like you are saying bad things about me?" Garp glared at Smoker with some dissatisfaction.

However, he did not argue with Smoker. Garp smiled again and said, "So I plan to stay with you for a while. You can spread the news later and say that I have left. Only then will that guy dare to show up. As long as he dares to show up in front of me, I will arrest him!"

"And then send him to prison in Imperial?" Smoker jokingly said.

Garp's face turned red, but he still said stubbornly: "If he doesn't repent, then I won't bend the law for personal gain!"

"In other words, if he is willing to admit his mistake, you will protect him, right?" Smoker rolled his eyes at Garp.

"Well, our navy already has a system for recruiting pirates, so it can't be considered as sheltering them, right? Ace is a very talented kid. If he is willing to join the navy, reform himself, and atone for his sins, that would be a good thing, wouldn't it?" Garp said a little embarrassedly.

But in fact, you know what, the navy does have such a system of recruitment. In the original story, some pirates were recruited, such as Zango from the Black Cat Pirates. This guy later became a member of the navy under Tina.

It's just that most big pirates won't accept this kind of amnesty, so this system is just to give small pirates a way back. Not many people know about it, but it does exist.

If Garp were to take this approach, he would indeed be able to clear Ace's name, and the navy could even use this to greatly eliminate the arrogance of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Seeing that the captain of your Whitebeard Pirates has turned over a new leaf and joined the navy, why are the rest of you still struggling?

However, judging from Ace's feelings for the Whitebeard Pirates and his admiration for Newgate, he probably would not be willing to follow Garp's method even if he died.

At the same time, in Shimotsuki Village, Koshiro was standing at the port dock, bidding farewell to his two apprentices.

The two apprentices are naturally Bane and Zoro. Bane came to Shimotsuki Village in August last year, but now it is February 1520 of the Sea Circle Calendar. In another three months, the Straw Hats will go out to sea.

However, from the current perspective, the Straw Hat Pirates are going to suffer serious reductions in members. Roronoa Zoro, who was supposed to be Luffy's first partner, has now become Bane's junior apprentice. The two are preparing to go out to sea together, so it is naturally impossible for him to join the Straw Hat Pirates.

As for Usopp, he was also reported by Bane, and Chloe was killed by Smoker. Although Bane did not intend to recruit Usopp, he was not sure whether Luffy would still form a team with Usopp.

The only two members of the Straw Hat Pirates left in the East China Sea are Sanji and Nami. As for Sanji, Bane only plans to contact him to see if he can get the contact information of Germa from him. After all, he still has the RC cell injection in his hand. If conditions permit, he should find a scientific expert to study it and see how to use it to maximize the benefits.

Of course, Germa is just one of the alternative options. If it really joins the navy in the future, wouldn’t the navy’s scientific forces be safer and more stable than Germa?
As for Sanji himself, Bane actually doesn't care much about him. It's not that he looks down on Sanji's future strength or anything like that. It should be said that this guy is still a bit of a good guy, but Bane feels that there is a high probability that he and Sanji will have incompatible personalities. That guy is too lustful, which is not acceptable.

In a team, only one person needs to be lustful, and that person is Bane, and the rest are opponents!
There is no need to say much about Nami. In this world, the most important thing when going out is to be a navigator. And there is no doubt that Nami has the potential to become the best navigator in the world. Bane certainly cannot let her go!

As for whether Luffy could get out of the East China Sea after abducting Nami and losing his navigator, Bane didn't care. He liked playing Barrel Adventure, so he decided to play it for a few more years.

It is estimated that Ace and Teach will find the East China Sea soon, so Bane's current plan is to leave the East China Sea after kidnapping Nami, and go to Alabasta to see if he can get rid of Crocodile, and then take the wise and beautiful Miss Robin away.

He felt that he also needed a smart person with a quick learning ability around him who could help him make plans and solve some difficult problems at certain times. Obviously, Robin was a very suitable choice.

"What a pity! If Robin is kidnapped as well, it might be troublesome for me to join the navy in the future. However, for things like this, we should just take it one step at a time." Bane thought to himself.

While he was thinking about these things, Koshiro was also patiently explaining things to Zoro over and over again.

"I have already given all the advanced knowledge to you, Senior Brother Ban En."

"I am the senior brother, Master!"

"You don't have much social experience, but your senior brother Ban En has a lot of advantages in this regard. When you go out, you must listen to him more."

"Master, I am the senior brother!"

"You have never known the way since you were little. It's OK in our Frost Moon Village, because there will always be someone to take you home. From now on, when you are outside, you must follow your senior brother Ban En closely and don't get lost and cause trouble for him. Do you understand?"

"I am the senior brother!!!"

Zoro was on the verge of collapse, and finally boarded the ship early in a rage.

After the boy got on board, Koshiro looked at Ben with a smile and said, "Ben, Master has only one thing to tell you."

Ben was also very moved when he heard this. Look, what is trust? This is trust. This is the master's trust in his ability!
Therefore, Ben also had some tears in his eyes, and with a slightly choked voice, he held Koshiro's hand and said, "Master, I will definitely keep your words in mind!"

"Master knows that you are a capable person, and can also see that you want to do something big on the sea." Koshiro said earnestly.

Ben thought, Master, you understand me!

"Therefore, there is only one thing I ask of you, and that is that if you get into trouble in the future, just don't tell me about it," Koshiro patted the back of Ben's hand seriously.

Bane???
