From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 150 Sir, don’t worry, I am very loyal!
This really gets straight to the point, with no intention of exchanging pleasantries at all.

It seems that Saint Satan has no intention of wasting too much time with Bane. This inadvertently exposes the fact that his so-called kindness is just superficial. In essence, he is still arrogant.

This is not surprising, on the contrary it is normal.

At the same time, as soon as this sentence came out, Bane immediately guessed something.

They mentioned the candidate for admiral right away, so perhaps the Five Elders wanted to treat him as a target to be won over, as one of the backup members to "throw sand" at the new decision-makers of the navy?

It is even possible that in the original story, Momosagi and Chaton, who were both candidates for admiral, had been 'wooed' by the Five Elders in various ways, but it is possible that the two of them did not accept the Five Elders' solicitation, so in the end they remained candidates for admiral and did not actually become admirals?
Or is there any other reason?
This momentary speculation did not affect Bane's mood. He still maintained a very respectful attitude and immediately nodded and replied: "Yes, Marshal Zhan Guo told me so."

"Do you agree?" Saint Satan nodded first, then asked.

"Of course I agree!" Bane was a little excited this time, his eyes became a little excited, and he said, "That's a candidate for admiral, which can be said to be a height that many people cannot reach in their lifetime. I'm only 20 years old, and I have no reason not to agree to be valued by Marshal Zhan Guo. In fact, a long time ago, I also thought about contributing to the navy, the world government, and justice, so this time it can be regarded as a dream come true."

Seeing Bane's somewhat excited expression, Saint Satan smiled, and then said in a teasing tone: "I heard that when you first arrived at the Navy Headquarters, Zhan Guo talked to you about joining the Navy, and said that he would give you a position as a colonel in the headquarters, but you didn't agree at that time."

Following this, Bane tried his best to show his acting skills. An awkward smile appeared on his face, and his eyes became a little uncomfortable. He raised his hand and touched his nose, with an expression that seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Saint Satan did not blame anyone, but said gently: "So you were not satisfied with Zhan Guo's arrangement at that time?"

"No, no." Bane waved his hands quickly, as if he was afraid that his words would reach the ears of Marshal Zhan Guo. But soon, looking at the gentle eyes of Saint Satan, he hesitated again, and finally nodded and said, "Well, to be honest, I was a little unconvinced at the time. I felt that my ability should be able to do more. So I didn't agree directly. I thought that if I performed well in the subsequent war, maybe the marshal would have a new impression of me. Later, facts proved that I really had room for improvement."

"Hahahahaha." As if sensing the sincerity in Bane's words, Saint Satan laughed heartily twice, then patted Bane on the shoulder in a more friendly manner and said, "Don't feel embarrassed. Young people should have this kind of unyielding spirit. What's more, I have seen your performance. It is indeed very outstanding. The colonel position that Zhan Guo promised you at that time was indeed inappropriate."

Being praised and recognized by the Five Elders, Bane acted as if he had received the highest recognition and honor. His face lit up again and he said excitedly: "Your recognition is my greatest honor and motivation. Thank you very much for your recognition. I will continue to work hard in the future and strive to move to a higher position, get rid of the reserve, become a general, and make more contributions to our world government!!!"

"Very good, very good." Saint Satan nodded with satisfaction, and then said meaningfully: "However, there are many talented people in the navy, and it is not easy for you to sit in the position of admiral or even higher."

"You're right, so I should work even harder." Bane immediately put on an attitude of hard work and progress.

Two hundred times the effort, start!

"There's nothing wrong with hard work, but sometimes, choice is more important than hard work. What do you think, Bane?" Saint Satan suddenly changed his tone.

When Saint Satan said this, his eyes were fixed on Bane. He saw that after hearing this, Bane's expression suddenly froze, and he seemed a little dazed. But the next moment, Bane's eyes blossomed with more excitement and excitement, and his tone became a little more high-pitched and he said, "I am willing to serve you, sir!"

At the same time, Bane stood up excitedly and punched himself hard on the heart. This action, this force, this feeling, was as if he wanted to give his heart to Saint Satan on the spot!
Seeing Bane's emotional changes, Saint Satan was also very satisfied. First of all, Bane was able to understand the meaning of his words at the first time, which meant that he was not stupid at the "political" level. He was the kind of person who could understand what people said, and that was enough.

Secondly, Bane immediately accepted his "good intentions" and acted as if he was ready to offer his heart on the spot. Although this behavior seemed a bit childish and immature on a political level, it happened that this immaturity was exactly what Saint Satan wanted!

If Bane acts like a seasoned veteran, he'll really have to think about it carefully.

Finally, it was obvious that Bane's behavior of expressing his opinion on the spot also confirmed their previous guess that this kid was a person with a strong desire for progress and was a person who coveted power and status.

This is a good thing for the Five Elders, because they are the ones who hold power and status. At least in the superficial layer of the government of this world, no one can be more "honorable" than them. I think Bane is also very clear about this, so worshipping under them and becoming their lackey is the best choice for someone like Bane who is "motivated". There is no need to worry that he will betray anything easily. "Okay, don't be so excited, sit down quickly." Saint Satan was in a good mood and was very satisfied with Bane's attitude, and waved his hand.

Bane swallowed his saliva, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. It was as if after three or five breaths, he finally calmed down his agitated emotions and sat back in his seat.

After he sat down, Saint Satan continued, "Speaking of which, your current identity is Zefa's adopted son, right?"

"That's right. I'm lucky enough to have this opportunity thanks to my adoptive father's favor. In fact, if it weren't for my adoptive father's care, I don't think the marshal would have promised me the position of general candidate," Bane said in a meaningful tone.

As a top political creature, Saint Satan of course immediately understood the shallow meaning of Bane's words. Just now he seemed to be admiring him, but now his words and deeds already showed that he wanted to cut off ties with the Warring States. He was so impatient. Too impatient.

But this impatience and shallowness just happened to fit Bane's image at the moment, and Saint Satan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After a brief pause, Saint Satan asked again, "Did Zefa tell you about the changes in the navy after this?"

Ben pretended to think for a moment, then asked in an uncertain tone: "Are you referring to the fact that Marshal Zhan Guo is going to step down? My godfather did tell me about this. Not only that, the Marshal also told me about it not long ago."

"Oh?" Saint Satan was a little surprised this time, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did Zhan Guo tell you?"

"The marshal said that he is old, and the navy is about to enter a new stage. He may not have enough energy to shoulder the heavy responsibility of marshal, so he wants to retire. Not only that, he also said that he plans to nominate Admiral Kuzan to be the new marshal of the navy, and hopes that I, as a candidate for admiral, can contribute to this matter." Bane acted like a complete traitor and directly sold out Sengoku.

But in fact, he knew very well that the Five Elders had known this for a long time and understood Zhan Guo's attitude, so there was no point in hiding it. It would be better to use this opportunity to show his loyalty.

"Yes, Zhan Guo indeed thought so." Saint Satan sighed.

After a pause, he looked at Ben again and said, "So what do you think?"

"I don't quite understand these. After all, my current understanding of the navy is still superficial, so I am currently preparing to follow the marshal's ideas," Bane said in an uncertain tone.

"I want you to unwaveringly support Sakaski from now on. Can you do it?" Saint Satan interrupted Bane before he could finish his words.

Bane's expression once again showed a hint of surprise, but then it turned into a firm look and he said, "I will follow your orders!!!"

“Hahahaha.” Saint Satan laughed when he saw this and said, “Don’t you think that your behavior will make me think that you, a little guy, are unreliable and unworthy of being entrusted with an important task?”

"Why?" Bane said confidently, "I work for the Navy and the World Government. At the same time, the Navy is a subordinate organization of the World Government. As one of the highest authorities in the World Government, your orders are the top priority in my mind, and in the minds of all the members of the World Government system that I think, so I don't think there is anything wrong with my behavior! This should be a true expression of loyalty, right?"

This straightforward flattery actually made Saint Satan feel comfortable. He laughed a few more times and continued, "Very good. I am very pleased that you have this awareness. You are right. The orders of the five of us are the top priority of the World Government. I hope you can always keep this idea and loyalty in the future. As a reward for this loyalty, we will grant you power and status that no one else can give you!"

"Yes, thank you very much!" Bane stood up excitedly again and beat his heart.

Sir, please rest assured, our Banen is very loyal!
