From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 157 Shi Ji’s heroic demeanor!
At this moment, Shi Ji really felt that fate was beginning to favor him again.

Back then, the reason why he wanted to join forces with Roger was, on the one hand, because he really admired Roger, and on the other hand, he also wanted to borrow Roger's power to obtain ancient weapons that could destroy the world.

If this cooperation could be achieved at that time, with his and Roger's strength, coupled with his large fleet and ancient weapons, they could indeed confront the World Government head-on, or even defeat the World Government!
But Roger, that damn bastard, rejected him harshly.

The Battle of Edwall became a lifelong pain for Ski.

His ambition seemed to be shattered at that moment.

However, it must be said that Shiqi does have the qualities of a hero. He was depressed for a while, but perhaps it was also because of his trip to Impelton. During his time in prison, Long Chang gained enlightenment!

He learned from his mistakes, amputated his legs, broke Impelton's iron wall, and successfully escaped from prison.

At the end, he met Newgate and told him that he had a big plan to carry out, so he would disappear for a while.

And this disappearance lasted for nearly twenty years!

Shiki's plan was indeed very powerful. At the beginning, he had learned some information about ancient weapons, and this information was about Poseidon, the king of the sea.

According to rumors, Poseidon's power can enslave the sea kings.

A single sea king poses no threat to the masters and is simply a snack.

But sea kings are also divided into levels. The sea kings in the deep sea are very large, and some can even crush behemoths like the Elephant Lord. Moreover, their numbers are so large that it can be said to be inestimable. If such a huge force were to gather together and obey the orders of someone, it could indeed subvert the entire world.

And Shi Ji is obsessed with this kind of power.

He initially sought a partnership with Roger, but failed. However, as an ambitious hero, he did not give up. Okay, I can't handle Aquaman, so why don't I just build one myself? ?
Thus, Shiki began the 'Monster Project' which lasted for nearly twenty years, and today, he has succeeded.

Currently, in Melview, Shiki has created a huge army of monsters with the help of a magical herb called 'IQ'. It can be said that the monsters on the surrounding floating archipelagos are all very powerful. Each one is as strong as a sea king. Not to mention using the sea king as an analogy, it would be a bit too contemptuous of these monsters.

It should be said that these monsters generally have the strength of pacifists, or even stronger.

If it is released into any country anywhere in the world, it can cause a devastating disaster!

And just yesterday, this technology became completely mature. With this mature technology, Shiqi can now mass-produce such monsters continuously, which shows how terrible his plan is.

However, in the original story, Shiki was defeated by the Straw Hat before he could really start fighting, which made his nearly twenty years of hardship seem a bit ridiculous.

But if you think about it carefully, you can feel that the "weapon" that Shiqi is holding at the moment, although it cannot be said whether it can destroy the world, is indeed enough to shake the situation in the sea!

The only thing that made Shi Ji feel regretful was that his personal strength had declined to the extreme in the past twenty years. The rudder on his head had too much influence on him. At this point today, he was even unable to release his domineering power.

This is also what Shi Ji thought, the most likely flaw in his plan.

So he rarely shows up at sea, just to avoid appearing cowardly.

But not long ago, the solution to this problem completely came to us!
Death Surgeon Trafalgar Law, Shiski had only recently heard of this guy. He was a rookie pirate and there was nothing special about him. The only thing worth noting was that he was the user of the legendary Surgery Fruit!
Over the years, in addition to studying his own plan, Shi Ji has been looking for a way to solve the problem of the rudder on his head.

So he knew very well that the Operation Fruit was indeed an effective way to solve his injuries safely and without any hidden dangers. He had also secretly searched for the Operation Fruit, but to no avail. Come to think of it, the World Government had been searching for it for decades and still couldn't find it. How could he, Shiki, do it in a latent state?
But now, the user of the Operation Fruit has contacted him and actively wants to join him, work for him, and seek the status of a cadre. Shiki actually didn't think there was anything wrong with this active joining. All pirates on the sea are like this. This is why these big guys have to maintain their reputation and prestige. Because as long as they have a good reputation and prestige, they can constantly recruit fresh blood and cannon fodder to achieve their own ambitions!
In particular, not long ago, Skip openly announced that he would reorganize his flying fleet. During this period, it was not only Trafalgar Law who took the initiative to contact him, but there were also many pirates in the New World who wanted to join him.

So when faced with Trafalgar Law's initiative to surrender, Ski didn't really doubt anything.

Today, he has prepared weapons that can overturn the world, and is about to reorganize his huge fleet. If he can restore his once powerful strength to its peak in one go, his ambition to dominate the world will no longer seem far away!

Doesn’t this prove that fate is beginning to favor him again?

New World, on the deck of a warship.

Bane is currently on the phone with Trafalgar Law.

"Your little submarine is running so damn fast. It has even reached Flying Star Island?" Bane said to Den Den Mushi with a surprised expression.

He didn't delay too long, did he? At most, he left a week later than Trafalgar Law because of his appointment as a lieutenant general. As a result, he hadn't arrived at Egghead yet, while Trafalgar Law had already arrived at Flying Star Island!

The Flying Star Island was the destination where they had originally planned to conduct the fishing operation against Ski. It was not too far from Egghead, and was about three days' voyage away. Originally, Bane thought that if he let Trafalgar Law run for a few days, he should be able to catch up with him by relying on the performance advantage of his warship.

Now it seems that I really underestimated this kid's efficiency.

"The main reason is that after Ski got in touch with me, he kept pushing me. He basically contacted me every day to ask about my journey and route. I was afraid that if I delayed too long or stopped too frequently, it would make him suspicious. So as soon as I entered the New World, I left all my crew members in the portal waters, filled the empty space with supplies, and bought the permanent record pointer of Flying Star Island from the black market. Along the way, we didn't stop at all, so of course our speed would be faster." Trafalgar Law explained.

Then, without waiting for Ben to speak, he continued, "I have already made an appointment with Ski. He said he had something very important to do, which he just finished yesterday. So now he has time, and he will come here to pick me up soon. According to the agreed time, it will be about half a month later."

"This makes me a little late." Bane rubbed his forehead, but soon said: "Forget it, in this case, I will change my schedule a little and go to your place to kill Shiqi first."

After all, this matter really cannot be blamed on Trafalgar Law. It's all because old guy Ski was too anxious.

Bane's original plan was to go and deal with Ski with a smile.

After all, Shi Ji can fly, but then he thought, that guy Shi Ji must have noticed Yixiao after the Battle of Marineford. Even with his heroic mind, he might have begun to pay close attention to all kinds of information about Yixiao. After all, Yixiao has great restraint on his abilities and can completely eliminate his mobility that he is proud of.

If I smile, I might be discovered by this guy Shiqi.

So at the headquarters of the Navy, after they discussed it several times, Bane decided not to smile anymore, and even specifically instructed Yixiao to make a high-profile appearance in the first half of the Grand Line in order to dispel Shiqi's concerns and vigilance.

As for the fact that Ski can fly, it is actually not a big problem for Bane. As long as Ski dares to show up, he can't escape in the face of Bane's ability. Whether he can fly or not, he can only fight him to the death. After all, no one with special abilities can resist the attraction of Bane's Dark-Dark Fruit!
The only thing to consider is Shiki's strength. Bane doesn't think that Shiki can be stronger than him in his current state, but he is a cautious person, so his original plan was to take Zephyr to Egghead and adjust Zephyr's state to the peak. After that, he will hunt Shiki together with Zephyr.

A top navy admiral, together with Bane, will definitely have no problem dealing with an old lion.

But it seems that it is a bit too late at the moment, and some changes still need to be made, but the impact will not be significant.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi call with Trafalgar Law, Bane turned to look at Zephyr who was enjoying the sea breeze under the mast, and said with a smile: "Godfather, are you interested in going hunting?"
