From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 152 Officially taking office as Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!

After that, Saint Satan seemed to have nothing to say to Bane. After a brief chat for a few more words, Bane very tactfully said goodbye.

Walking out of the room of power, Bane soon saw Guernica waiting at the end of the corridor. He nodded and gestured to Bane, and Bane followed him and left.

Along the way, the two remained silent, one leading the way and the other following, that's all.

During this time, Bane was also thinking about everything that happened after meeting Saint Satan. There seemed to be no problem and his performance was okay, but he always felt that there seemed to be something else that he did not notice.

"Well, this is only the first time we meet. Maybe this is also a test? When we meet again next time, the situation may be different," Bane thought to himself.

He always felt that it was a bit strange that the Five Elders met with him in secret and only talked about supporting Sakaski, and in the end he could only explain the situation as "the first meeting".

According to Saint Satan, after this, they would just pretend that they had never met. This was not surprising to Bane. After all, he came to Marijoa secretly under the leadership of CP-0, and he must not have been seen in public from the beginning.

This situation must continue at least until Sakaski really becomes the marshal, so as to prevent Zhan Guo from discovering something and coming up with new tricks.

Of course, this is the idea of the Five Elders. As for Bane, let's see what happens next. Anyway, he is not really loyal to the Five Elders. If there is any opportunity, he doesn't mind jumping back and forth.

"I don't plan to work in this company for long, so why should I care about what you leaders think of me?"

After Bane followed Guernica back onto a ship bound for the Sabaody Archipelago, the Five Elders had gathered again in the Chamber of Power.

"How does it feel? After actually meeting him?" Mazsheng brewed a cup of tea, poured it for the rest of his colleagues, sat on the sofa, and asked casually.

Saint Satan sneered and said, "He's just a snob. He took the bait as soon as you offered him a little sweetness. But it's fine this way. Isn't that the kind of person we need?"

"Admiral, this isn't considered a 'little sweet treat', is it?" Nasujuro Sei said jokingly.

"For us, isn't it just 'a little sweetness'?" Saint Satan said calmly.

"There's no need to argue about these meaningless things. We've already discussed all of this. A young and easily controllable admiral who is weak, has insufficient foundation, little experience, is more beneficial than harmful to us. This also means that we have more than enough time to influence and transform him. Perhaps in another 20 or 30 years, a fully controllable admiral will be born in our hands. In the long run, he does have a high training value." Saint Wochuli took a sip of tea and said in a very calm tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others stopped discussing the so-called "sweetness" and their feelings towards Bane.

"He has already said that after becoming a candidate for general, he will fully support Sakaski when the time is right. I think he should have no reason to change his position." Satan Saint said softly.

"So, have you talked to him about Monkey D. Luffy?" Peter Saint asked directly.

Saint Satan shook his head and said naturally: "No, although he performed well in the previous war, that was just bravery. This time, let's observe him first. He told me before that he was planning to hunt down Shiki. This matter and the matter of Sakaski can be used as an opportunity to observe and see if this guy is steady enough and whether he is worthy of being entrusted with the important task."

Hunting Shiki?

To be honest, this situation was somewhat beyond the expectations of the Five Elder Stars, but after they looked at each other, they did not discuss it.

As for the matter of the Nika Fruit, it is indeed more important, but that guy Garp keeps a good eye on his grandson and has locked him up in the Navy Headquarters. I heard that he is beaten three times a day and now he can hardly get out of bed. At the same time, they have also sent their own people in the Navy to keep an eye on him secretly. There will be no problem in the short term.

The main reason is that Garp is currently at the headquarters, and it is not convenient to snatch people directly from under his nose. We still have to wait for an opportunity.

So this period can be used to observe Bane's ability to act. It happens that this kid said he wanted to hunt down Shiki, so let's see what his ability is. This is not something that can be done simply by fighting and killing on the battlefield, and there is no need to care about the process. As long as Bane can deliver the result, it is enough to prove his ability to act.

Again, they will ultimately have to make further adjustments based on Bane's performance.

If Bane can still satisfy them, then he will no longer be a disposable pawn in the matter of Garp. If he cannot satisfy them, Nika is the most important, and Bane will have to take action no matter what. However, after the matter is over, let alone whether the admiral's promise will be fulfilled, it is hard to say what will become of him.

After that, they quickly discussed other important matters. And a day later, Bane and his team returned to the Navy Headquarters, Marinford, from the Sabaody Archipelago.

As soon as he arrived at the Navy Headquarters, it seemed as if everything became busy. People kept coming to Bane to confirm various things. The news that he was about to become a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters and a candidate for admiral had already spread among the Navy.

Today someone will take him to choose a suitable office in the Fortress of Justice. Tomorrow someone will take him to choose a satisfactory warship and can make some personal style modifications according to his requirements within a reasonable range. The day after tomorrow someone will come and ask him to attend a meeting to formally approve the process of him joining the navy and serving as a vice admiral of the navy headquarters.

In short, after nearly five days of hard work, everything was finally settled.

The Navy's Propaganda Department quickly announced a series of adjustments to general officers. As for those below the rank of general, there were too many of them and it would definitely not be announced in newspapers like this.

As soon as the news of the adjustment of generals came out, Bane and Yixiao immediately became the two most watched new vice admirals of the navy.

Because they can be said to have emerged out of nowhere, and directly jumped to the position of lieutenant general in one step, and also served as the candidate for general, a title with great value.

To be honest, Bane is not so bad. He was quite famous before. Almost no one in this sea didn't recognize him. As for Yishao, he seemed even more out of place compared to Bane. Most people's impression of him only existed in the previous war, when he joined forces with Borsalino to fight against Whitebeard.

But it is precisely this impression that fully demonstrates Yixiao's strength. Although some people still find it strange, at least no one thinks that he is not strong enough.

Bane and Issho officially became vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters, while Zoro and Fubuki also became major admirals of the Marine Headquarters, and Weber also wore the epaulettes of a brigadier general.

In Alabasta, in Yu Yan's basement office, Nico Robin looked at the photos and profiles of a series of new admiral-level officers on the newspaper in her hand. Finally, her eyes stopped on Bane's photo.

Her eyes were a little complicated. Although she knew before that Bane and others were going to the navy, and that they joined the navy not to serve the world government but to accumulate strength and resources to do bigger things, she was still a little confused at this time.

Just when Nico Robin was feeling complicated, the Den Den Mushi on her desk suddenly rang.

Turning his head, Robin's originally complicated eyes suddenly became clear, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth. He raised his hand to pick up the Den Den Mushi and said, "Lieutenant General, what can I do for you?"

On the Den Den Mushi side, Ben couldn't help but laugh when he heard the name and said, "Are you making fun of me?"

"How dare I? It's just that some people never contact me on weekdays, and suddenly called me via Den Den Mushi. They must have some instructions, right?" Robin teased with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.

"Ahem." Ben was a little embarrassed when he heard that. He said with a lack of confidence, "It's mainly because I've been too busy recently. Look, I just finished my work and became a lieutenant general, and I contacted you, didn't I?"

"So, what's your instruction?" Robin was not fooled. She didn't think that this guy came to care about her at all. There must be something wrong.

Ben was silent for a moment, then said: "We can make preparations recently to expand our business to the new world."

"New World?" Robin was a little surprised, but quickly said, "But, the New World is the home of the Don Quixote family, and our competitiveness has always been..."

"That's why I asked you to prepare in advance. I will kill Doflamingo and eliminate the Don Quixote family soon." Bane said in a very confident tone.

Hearing this, Robin couldn't help but think of her former boss Crocodile. After a moment, she said with some emotion: "I understand. I will start making arrangements now. But before you start, it would be better if you could tell me again so that I can start the plan more conveniently."

After finishing all these serious matters, Bane didn't know what to say. The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. Robin didn't know what he was thinking either. He also didn't say anything. He just listened quietly to Bane's breathing on the Den Den Mushi side.

After about three or two minutes, Ben asked dryly, "Well, how have you been these days? Are you okay?"

Hearing this, Robin couldn't help but smile. He didn't answer the question, but instead scolded softly, "Idiot."

Then, she simply hung up the Den Den Mushi, leaving Bane on the other end even more confused. Why was he scolding me?
