From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 165 The plan to form a new navy is about to begin!
March 1521, 1 in the Haiyuan calendar.

New World · Egghead Island.

Zefa was lifting weights like crazy in the physical training room with a rosy face, testing his current physical condition.

Outside the training room, after dealing with Melview's affairs, Bane returned to Egghead two days ago. At this time, he and the others were watching this scene here. They saw Zefa doing a series of high-intensity physical tests, but his condition was still stable, without any signs of asthma, which was enough to prove that his illness had been completely cured.

Not only that, although Zefa's appearance has not changed much and he still maintains the face of an old man, one can feel that his vitality is very strong. It is an indescribable feeling. Just one look at him makes people feel that he is very energetic!

At the same time, the arm that Zefa lost has grown back. This is also the most gratifying thing for Zefa. He has become a healthy man again!

When Zefa completed the physical test, Ian rushed over and excitedly handed Zefa a towel.

"Teacher, congratulations on returning to your peak form!" Iin's expression seemed to be even happier than Zefa.

Taking the towel and wiping the sweat off his face, Zefa said with a smile: "Now I can finally say with confidence that I will never let such a tragedy happen to me again, Ain."

"Teacher!!!" Tears suddenly filled Ian's eyes.

Soon, Ben came forward and said with a smile: "Godfather, how do you feel?"

"It feels like I'm back to the time when I was 38 years old." Zefa patted Bane's shoulder with some emotion.

That year, he was promoted to admiral of the navy, which was the peak of his life!
After chatting with everyone about their feelings, Zefa pulled Bane to sit on a chair beside the training ground and started talking about business.

"Are you planning to make Melville our base in the future?" Zefa asked.

"Yes, I conducted a field survey and asked Ian to summarize a plan," Bane nodded and replied.

"I've read the plan this morning. It's really good. Of course, you can only complete it if you have sufficient funds. Otherwise, it's really a fantasy. This whole plan is no less than building a new naval headquarters." Zefa said with emotion.

It is not only not inferior to the Naval Headquarters, but if the entire archipelago plan is completed, it will be a major project that far exceeds the Naval Headquarters.

"I have submitted a plan to build the New World Navy G-6 base in Melville on your behalf. Marshal Sengoku will probably ask you about the details soon." Bane said with a smile.

Zefa was stunned for a moment, then asked for some relevant details.

After Bane's explanation, he finally understood the situation. The plan that Bane submitted to the Navy Headquarters only briefly explained the situation and only involved some modifications to Melview, which was a large-scale castration version.

Their purpose is to use the construction of a new world naval base as a cover to openly build their new navy's base, and at the same time, to deceive some financial support from the world's governments.

"Now the strategic focus of our navy has returned to the New World. The headquarters originally had the idea of building some new fortress bases in the New World. It is even possible that even the headquarters of the navy will be relocated. So if nothing unexpected happens, this plan will be approved. At that time, I will negotiate with Zhan Guo to take the construction of this base into our own hands. There will be no problem in a short time." Zefa touched his chin and said.

Just as Zefa said, the Navy Headquarters has begun to approve the construction plans of three new world naval bases. According to some information released in internal publications, it is expected that six to seven new naval bases will be built in the New World within five years to support the Navy's subsequent strategies.

Therefore, with the strong support of Bane and Zephyr, the construction of the Melview base should be no problem. It is estimated that after communicating with Zephyr, Sengoku will approve it soon. As for the relocation plan of the Navy Headquarters, there are some signs. This plan is led by Admiral Sakaski. He believes that the original Navy Headquarters can no longer perform this important function due to its geographical location. Considering the strategic focus of the Navy's New World, he proposed to move the Navy Headquarters to the current G-1 Naval Base.

In fact, this kind of use was taken into consideration when the G-1 Naval Base was originally built. Its scale and specifications are far beyond those of ordinary naval bases. Although there has been no clear division, it has always been tacitly recognized by the Navy as a "reserve naval headquarters."

This is also a very normal situation. For such a large organization as the Navy, of course, a complete support system must be established. Just like there are substitutes for admirals, the Navy Headquarters also has a plan to quickly build a new "heart" in the event of an abnormal situation in the headquarters.

In the original story, the Battle of Marineford destroyed the entire Marineford. Although it did not sink, it was no longer suitable to be the headquarters of the Navy. In addition, as the strategic focus of the Navy shifted, G-1 naturally became the new headquarters of the Navy.

Now, although Marinford has not been destroyed, Sakaski still chose to forcefully promote this plan. His purpose is very obvious. He wants to use this method to enhance his prestige and influence, while reducing and weakening the influence of the old marshal Zhan Guo.

Moreover, this will also promote some trends. For example, if the headquarters has moved, then it would be reasonable to change the marshal, right?

Sakaski is pushing it forward, and Marshal Sengoku, for now, doesn't seem to have any intention of blocking it. He has held several meetings at headquarters to discuss this matter, and he should be supportive of it. However, during the meetings, he has repeatedly promoted communication with Admiral Kuzan, and it is obvious that he intends to use this method to allow Kuzan to gain some influence in this plan.

The Holy Land of Marijoa also supports this matter, so Bane feels that if things go fast, the relocation of the headquarters may be completed this year.

I'm just not sure, will this happen after or before the marshal dispute?

"Not long ago, Zoro contacted me and said that the atmosphere between Sakaski and Admiral Kuzan at the headquarters has reached a critical point. The two even had fierce verbal conflicts in public many times. Not only them, but the conflict between the dove and hawk navy has also gradually widened." Bane rubbed his forehead and said with some distress.

"Why don't you go back and support Sakaski clearly?" Zefa couldn't help but tease when he saw this.

"I will definitely do this, but when I think about having to go back and face Marshal Sengoku and Mr. Garp, I always feel a little ashamed." Bane pouted and said helplessly.

"You think too much." Zephyr stopped teasing Bane and patted him on the shoulder. "In the final analysis, this is all a struggle within the navy. Sengoku won't mind. You have to believe in his magnanimity. On the contrary, Garp might try to put you in a sack and beat you up."

In fact, Bane also understood that it was normal for factional struggles to exist within the navy. As the admiral of the navy, Zhan Guo must have foreseen this situation and had even become accustomed to it. Just as he said to Yixiao, as long as Bane did not betray the navy, he would not think there was any problem.

Everyone has made their own choices under the banner of the Navy. What's the problem with that?
If he didn't have this kind of tolerance, Zhan Guo wouldn't be worthy of sitting in the position of marshal.

If he was really so petty, how could Sakaski be sitting in the position of general now? One could even feel that Zhan Guo had never used his status as a marshal to forcefully suppress Sakaski at this time. Even if he supported Kuzan, it was within the scope allowed by the rules, and he did not restrict or use his power to force Sakaski or anything like that.

After Bane was silent for a while, Zefa spoke again: "After this, I will also start to contact my old subordinates. You go to the headquarters to support Sakaski, and I will support Kuzan here and do some preparations. If the situation does not deteriorate to the extent you foresee, it will be fine. If it really comes to that, and Kuzan leaves the navy, then I will capture him and make him my laborer."

"If that's the case, I'm actually looking forward to Admiral Kuzan coming over quickly, hahahaha." Bane said without any concealment.

Zephyr has now recovered to his peak form and is forming a new navy. In the short term, he will definitely be the "head coach", or marshal. After all, Bane's current prestige and appeal are not enough.

But as Zephyr's adopted son and also his last disciple, when the time is right in the future, Bane will naturally take over the entire new navy.

Before that, he, Kuzan and Yixiao formed the three admirals of the new navy, which really raised the profile of the new navy!

It’s so exciting just thinking about it!
