From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 154 Assistant Officer Ain!
New world, a certain sea area.

Three warships formed a V-shaped formation and were sailing here.

In the cabin of the flagship, Zefa was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, while opposite him, Bane was holding a book in his hand and looking behind him strangely.

Behind Bane stood two navy officers, one of whom was Bane's adjutant and personal bodyguard, Commodore Weber.

The other one was the rear admiral who had just been called in, one of Zephyr's favorite disciples, Ain.

"Godfather, what is this?" After looking at Ian, Bane turned to look at Zefa and asked.

Zefa took a sip of tea and said, "This is the assistant officer I recommend to you. He is my trusted and beloved general. His name is Aien. You can trust him completely."

"Lieutenant General Bane, nice to meet you. Please take care of me in the future." After hearing Zefa's introduction, Ian greeted Bane with a serious expression.

Seeing that she didn't look surprised at all, it goes without saying that Zefa had already told her about these things.

Ben scratched his head and said, "Godfather, I have an assistant. I originally planned to arrange for Nami to stay by my side after a while. As you know, she and I have a good understanding, and she has been taking care of me before."

"It doesn't matter. No one said there can only be one assistant officer, right?" Zefa waved his hand, and then continued: "Both you and Nami have just joined the navy not long ago. You don't know much about many of the processes and procedures here. You are not very familiar with the operation of our navy and how the generals should do things. She is a colonel, so it doesn't matter, but you can't. You are a vice admiral of the navy and a candidate for admiral. You must show enough accomplishment. Ian is very professional in this regard. I can only rest assured when she is by your side to assist you!"

This kind of behavior, if placed in other places, would feel a bit like inserting an informant, but Bane would never think that Zefa did things with this intention in mind.

Considering the issues Zefa mentioned, they are indeed what we need to pay attention to at present. So after thinking for a moment, Bane nodded, looked at Ian behind him and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Major General Ian."

"You're welcome, young master." Ian responded immediately.

But this time, she directly changed the way she addressed Bane, from Lieutenant General to Young Master.

The sudden change made Bane a little confused. He looked at Zefa and saw that Zefa also looked a little helpless. He quickly looked at Ian and said, "Hey, Major General Ian, you don't have to be like this."

"You are the adopted son of Teacher Zefa. To me, you are my young master. I have already decided to protect everything of yours with my life. Naturally, you are also the object of my loyalty!" Iin said with a serious expression.

Did I become the young master directly?
What about Doflamingo?
Huh? I'm going to kill him soon?
That’s okay!

"I've told her many times, but she would listen to me on everything else. But on this matter, she refused to give in, and I can't do anything about it," Zefa said with a wry smile and shook his head.

Then, before Bane and Ian could speak, Zefa warned again: "Ian, if you insist on doing this, I won't say anything, but you still have to be careful in public, understand?"

"Yes, teacher." Ian agreed immediately.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Ben seemed to be somewhat happy under her cold expression?
Without further arguing about how Ian addressed Bane, Zefa quickly continued, "Ian has followed me for many years and is one of the survivors of that disaster. She is very familiar with the navy. If you have any questions from now on, just ask her. You should also get to know each other as soon as possible."

"Understood." Bane nodded, then looked at Ian curiously and asked, "Are you a person with special abilities?"

Upon hearing this, Ian immediately shook his head and said, "No, but I have the idea of becoming a power user, but I haven't come across the right devil fruit yet."

"I see." Bane muttered, then picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "This is easy to solve. If you like someone's abilities in the future, just tell me and I'll help you get that ability." In fact, Bane didn't expect that Ian was not a person with abilities at this moment.

After all, in his impression, about two years later, Ain would already be the user of the superhuman Retrograde Fruit. Now it seems that she should have obtained this ability after this point in time.

"Yes, I won't be polite." Ain was also a decisive person. He agreed directly without any hesitation or politeness.

After explaining the matter to Ian, Zefa looked at Weber again and asked with a strange expression: "Weber, haven't you decided to become the user of that devil fruit? Why haven't you eaten it yet? Do you have any new considerations?"

"No, teacher." Waver waved his hand, then said with a smile: "I plan to become a superpower with you, that will be more convenient, and I am still studying domineering at this time. Even if I take the ability, I will not have the energy to develop it in a short time."

"Wait for me?" Zephyr was stunned for a moment, then looked at Bane and shook his head, "You haven't given up yet? Don't delay Weber because of this. Although the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is very strong, I don't intend to become a landlubber. At my stage, becoming stronger is certainly a good thing, but if there is a flaw, it will affect my habits and rhythm."

Zefa's peak combat power is that of a true top master, and over the past few decades, he has already formed his own combat style. Adding another fruit ability may enhance his strength indirectly, but the sudden addition of a weakness of not being able to swim will definitely break his already formed and deeply rooted combat style, which will seriously affect him.

For example, when he fought in the past, he was not afraid of the sea. Instead, he could use the sea as an advantageous battlefield to deal with those people with special abilities. He even used the geographical advantages of the sea, such as forcing his opponents to sink into the sea with him.

And if he becomes a person with special abilities, he might kill himself out of habit if he is not careful.

"Don't worry, godfather. Just listen to my arrangements. I promise that you won't suffer any side effects. Didn't I prove it to you before? With the abilities of Zoro, Fubuki and me, we are not afraid of the sea," Bane said helplessly.

"This is also what I'm curious about, but you refuse to tell me what's going on." Zefa shook his head.

At this moment, there was a knock on the cabin door, and then Nami pushed the door open and walked in and said, "Teacher, according to the special record chart and the surrounding magnetic field distribution, we are about to arrive at Punk Hazard."

Punk Hazard, the former scientific research base of the Navy's scientific forces, is an island without a magnetic field, that is, an island that cannot be recorded by a recording pointer. Therefore, it is very hidden. Unless a special recorded nautical chart is used with an excellent navigator, it is difficult to find the island.

Of course, if you are lucky, then just ignore what I said, it is not impossible for a blind cat to meet a dead mouse.

"Really? From now on, let me take the lead." Upon hearing this, Zefa stood up and walked out the door without discussing what had just happened with Bane.

Seeing this, Bane and others also stood up and followed Zefa.

After walking out of the cabin, Zefa observed the surrounding sea conditions, then exchanged a few words with Nami and began to point out the direction. Soon, the warship began to move forward according to Zefa's instructions.

"Two years ago, a major gas leak occurred in Punk Hazard, which completely destroyed the ecology of the entire island. All creatures on the island were extinct, and the poison gas was lingering. The island was judged to be abandoned." Zefa said, looking at Bane and said, "Are you sure that the fugitive Caesar Kulang is really hiding there?"

"It's always dark under the lamp. Because he was caught there, everyone thought that even if he escaped, he would not go back. But in fact, he was hiding on that island. After all, there is a large scientific research base left there, and it is an island without a magnetic field." Bane nodded.

"Then let's take care of him on the way." Zefa didn't hesitate. If he was going to Egghead anyway, he would just pass by this sea area.

Although Caesar is not a pirate, he is not a bad guy either, so there is nothing wrong with just dealing with this trouble.

For Bane, Caesar is indeed a handy thing. He may have some talent in scientific research, but facing Dr. Kinos, he is really nothing. Therefore, his greatest value to Bane is the natural gas fruit.

On this trip, Bane's main goal is the artificial devil fruit left in the Punk Hazard laboratory that has the same abilities as Kaido!
