From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 17 Bane’s brutal style!
In Kokoa West Village, in Aaron's paradise, Aaron was talking to his subordinates about some situations.

"That guy Lao Shu called us a few days ago and told us to keep a low profile recently and not to cause any trouble. It seems that the navy in the East China Sea is clearing out pirates." Aaron said to everyone with a calm face while sitting in his chair.

Most of the members under his command are members of the Fishman tribe who followed him from Fishman Island.

But at this moment, there is an exception, that is Nami from Kokoyasi Village.

She is the only human in the entire Arlong Pirates. When Arlong occupied this place, he took a fancy to Nami's talent as a navigator and her drawing skills, and wanted to use Nami's talents to draw a nautical chart that would allow him to lead the fish-men to dominate the sea. So he forced Nami to become their "partner" and promised Nami that as long as she handed over 100 million berries, he would give her and the village freedom.

For the sake of the village, Nami had to work here even though she hated and loathed Arlong and his gang of pirates who killed her adoptive mother.

Aaron was not really stubborn and had no intention of confronting the navy in the East China Sea, so he ordered everyone not to go out to sea for plundering during the recent period and to keep a low profile.

"But, we can do other things without looting, Nami. I recently heard that there is a group called 'Baki Pirates' in our East China Sea. They seem to have nautical charts about the Grand Line. At the same time, that guy called Buggy seems to have a treasure. You should go find them and find a way to get the chart. As for the treasure, maybe there will be 100 million Baileys?" Aaron looked at Nami with some evil eyes.

Nami hated Aaron in her heart, but she never showed it on the surface. She agreed expressionlessly and said, "I understand. I will go out to sea to find them in two days."

In the original story, Nami came into contact with the Straw Hat Pirates because she went to cause trouble for the Buggy Pirates, and eventually joined them.

After explaining this to Nami, Aaron looked at the rest of his brothers and said, "Since we can't rob for the time being, let's increase the tolls. All merchant ships that dock in our territory will be charged a protection fee of 100,000 Baileys."

"I understand, boss!" The group of fishmen responded happily.

Just then, a little fishman walked in from outside the paradise and said, "Boss, a merchant ship seems to be approaching."

Just when he was talking about collecting protection money, someone came to the door. Aaron waved his hand and said, "Kroobi, go take care of them and kill all the disobedient ones."

Croobi is one of the fighters of the Arlong Pirates, and is good at fish-man karate and other things.

He grinned and agreed, "Understood."

On the other side, Bane and Zoro also got off the boat smoothly. There were several murloc pirate minions around, who were checking the merchant ship. Judging from the ship owner's skillful way of paying money, he should have known the situation here for a long time.

After all, Aaron and his gang have been entrenched here for many years. For so many years, Kokoa West Village has still been within the route of commercial ships, which shows that they also have their own set of rules that are accepted.

"Are those guys the murlocs you mentioned?" Zoro followed Bane and looked at the murloc pirates over there with some curiosity.

"Well, their strength is ten times that of ordinary humans, and it's even more powerful in water. Honestly, it's hard for me to understand why they have such talents but are doing so badly in this sea-themed world." Bane said with a little emotion.

The nest of the merman tribe is stable, hidden deep under the ocean ten thousand meters high. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. People on the sea can't do anything to them. Moreover, the merman are gifted and are completely loved by this world. Even the bloodline of Ryugu City controls Poseidon, the king of the sea, one of the three ancient weapons that is said to be able to destroy the world. With such a trump card, the Fishman Island has been turned into a second-rate country, and it dares not resist due to all kinds of discrimination and oppression. It is really hard to understand.

The two were talking and preparing to walk out of the port dock when they came towards a group of fish-man pirates. Bane recognized the guy named Kroobi at a glance. Although he didn't remember his name, he still had an impression of him and knew that he was Aaron's cadre.

"You bastards, wait here for a while. We are going to collect new protection fees now," Krobi pointed at Sauron's nose and yelled. Sauron???

Has this guy always been so bold?

However, although he was very angry and wanted to draw his sword to chop this bastard, when he was out, Zoro still gave face to Bane. So he turned to look at Bane beside him, ready to ask his senior brother how to solve the problem.

As a result, when he turned around, he saw dark power emanating from Bane's hands, and then a hand cannon bigger than his head appeared in Bane's hand.

Kroobi on the opposite side was also stunned when he saw this scene. Before he could react, Bane had already pulled the trigger.

With a loud bang, the hand cannon spewed out a ferocious flame. The huge projectile was impossible to avoid at such a close distance and hit Kroobi directly.

After all, it was the Imperial Lieutenant's standard hand cannon that Bane bought by selling his shabby house. It was extremely powerful!
Normally, these strong and muscular men of the merman tribe would be able to withstand being hit by the navy's shells and would not be killed immediately.

But now, Kroobi's entire upper body was blown off, his lower body was in tatters, his waist was bloody and he was blown dozens of meters away by the impact. He fell to the ground and rolled several times. His blood polluted a large area around him, and his body parts and flesh were scattered all over the place. The scene was extremely brutal.

After killing the guy with one shot, Bane looked at Zoro and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? You don't have anything to say to these bastards, do you?"

It was also the first time that Zoro saw such a brutal scene. For a moment, he had a new understanding of his senior brother. However, he did not dislike this behavior. He also wanted to kill the other party just now, but his senior brother's methods were more brutal.

"Of course not." Zoro shook his head.

"Why don't you get to work? Kill all the fishmen in this village, they are all pirates!" Bane patted Zoro's shoulder.

The next second, Zoro's sword at his waist came out of its sheath, he stepped forward, and pounced on the two fishmen who had not yet reacted. With two slashes, the battle ended.

However, the noise made by the hand cannon was so loud that it alarmed Aaron, who was holding a meeting for employees in Dragon Park.

"What's going on!?" Aaron stood up suddenly from his chair and looked towards the port with a frown.

The Navy is calling! ?

The other officers were also confused and surprised, but Nami's eyes lit up, as if she had some hope. She had read the newspaper recently and heard that the navy in the East China Sea was rectifying its military discipline. Perhaps those dirty navy officers in the past had been dealt with? Now that the navy had freed up its hands, was it going to destroy the Arlong Pirates?
At this moment, the gate of the paradise was pushed open again, and a fishman rushed in in a panic and said, "Boss Aaron, it's bad, two powerful humans have come to the port, they killed Brother Kroobi and are coming this way!"

"What!? Kroobi is dead!?" Aaron said in a rage.

As cruel as he is to humans, he is as caring towards his own compatriots. This guy is a typical racist!
Moreover, he heard that it was not the navy that came, but two ignorant humans who came. He became even more furious and immediately made up his mind to skin those two humans alive!
But he didn't need to go over there. Zoro and Bane had already rushed to the gate like cutting melons and vegetables. They kicked the door open and then Bane walked in and said, "Good afternoon, you bastards on the sea. I heard that there is a very outstanding and beautiful navigator here. I came to invite her to join our more promising gang, no, team!"

As he spoke, Bane turned his gaze towards Aaron, grinned, and said with a ferocious smile: "I'll confiscate your ship while I'm at it."
