From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 179 Vergo: I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person!

After finishing his recollection of Rocinante, Sengoku took another bite of senbei to adjust his mood, and then asked, "So, if I'm not mistaken, the kid used Shiki as a bargaining chip and made a deal with you?"

Sengoku knew that Trafalgar Law's hatred for Doflamingo might be even deeper than his, so he thought of this directly.

"It's not just Ski. To be precise, he used everything he had as a bargaining chip. In return, I will kill Doflamingo for him to avenge him." After a slight pause, Bane said with a complicated look in his eyes, "In the first half of his life, his family was broken up and he lived in hatred for the world. In the second half of his life, his only salvation was his death. So he lived in hatred for someone. He is young, but it is really pitiful."

After hearing this, Zhan Guo, who originally wanted to say something, suddenly didn't know how to start.

After a moment, a firm look seemed to flash across his eyes, and then he said, "If you hadn't mentioned this matter, I might have been like an ostrich, hiding my head and not facing it, but since you've said this, how can I sit back and do nothing? Just go ahead and do Doflamingo's business. Even if something bad happens, I'll take the blame. Just say that I ordered you to do it privately!"

"Ah." Bane seemed a little surprised that Zhan Guo would say that. He looked at Zhan Guo with a surprised expression, but he quickly came to his senses and said, "That's not necessary. In fact, I already have a suitable reason to take action. If there is any concern, it is just that he is a former Celestial Dragon."

"Huh?" Zhan Guo was also stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "What kind of leverage do you have on Doflamingo?"

"It's more than just evidence! It's a heinous crime!" Bane said with a serious expression, "What happens next involves a very serious scandal in our navy. If it gets leaked, it is very likely that the image of our navy will be greatly damaged, and the reputation of our navy will also suffer a devastating blow!"

"So serious!?" Zhan Guo's expression became even more shocked. He crushed the senbei in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "What happened? What on earth happened?"

"Long before the Mignon Island incident, the Don Quixote family had already sent an undercover agent to infiltrate our navy. After so many years, that person has reached the top of our navy, ranked as one of the elite lieutenant admirals, and served as the base commander of a certain base! Is this matter serious enough?" Bane looked at Zhan Guodao seriously.

Zhan Guo's first reaction was disbelief. He instinctively retorted, "It's impossible. Maybe there are such people among the grassroots, but as long as they are navy officers who can be awarded the rank of major general, we will conduct a comprehensive investigation. For example, you, our navy's intelligence department also investigated you for a long time before finally confirming that you are harmless."

"No, to what extent have you investigated me?" Bane asked curiously.

He left no trace in this world for the first twenty years, how could he be found out?

"You were born in the Kingdom of Sicily in the East China Sea. Your family has been fishing for generations. A shipwreck caused by a rainstorm caused your parents to never return. You then lived on the streets for more than ten years. Later, by chance, you became a disciple of Isshin Dojo in Shimotsuki Village in the East China Sea. You studied there for many years and then went out to sea to become a not-so-outstanding pirate hunter until the incident of Thatch happened." Zhan Guo talked slowly.

Bane???

What the hell?

How the hell don't I know these things?
Just as he was about to say something, Ben suddenly remembered that when he set out, Master Koshiro had told him that everything had been arranged for him.

At that time he thought it was a merchant ship or something like that to go out to sea. Now that he thinks about it, maybe what the master said is not that simple?

Thinking about the unclear relationship between Master Koshiro and the Revolutionary Army, and how he seemed to be very powerful and was able to raise a large amount of food and logistics in the East China Sea to support Dragon's rebellion, Bane felt that he had guessed the truth.

"How about it? Are you shocked? You didn't expect that we could investigate it so thoroughly, right?" Zhan Guo looked at the surprised Bane and asked with a smile.

After coming back to his senses, Ben nodded seriously and said, "Great, I didn't expect you guys to have figured all this out."

"Not only you, but also Yixiao. We have investigated them and know them all very well." Zhan Guo said with a little complacency.

Then, he patted Bane on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to be surprised by this. You are one of us now, and you also hold a high position in our navy. You can also use this intelligence power."

I'm afraid that I'll be screwed after using it. Didn't expect the navy's background adjustment to be so lame? It shouldn't be like this? After all, they are the top power on the sea. No wonder Doflamingo can push Vergo to this height.

Fortunately, Bane really has no substantial connection with the Revolutionary Army, otherwise, he would have become the biggest undercover agent in the Navy!
After scratching his head, Bane stopped dwelling on this matter, and Zhan Guo spoke at the right time: "So I am very suspicious of what you said. A pirate spent at least twenty years undercover in our navy. During this period, he became a vice admiral with his own efforts and merits, and was even awarded the important position of base commander. In the future, he may move to a higher position. You said that such a person is an undercover from the Don Quixote family. Let me ask you, what does he want? Because the Don Quixote family has a high salary? Because Doflamingo is more powerful than our navy headquarters?"

"It's hard for me to understand what you said." Bane smiled a little awkwardly.

If he were Vergo, and had reached this position, the next thing he would consider would not be what kind of information he should provide to the Don Quixote family. He would definitely be thinking about how to kill Doflamingo, completely defeat the Don Quixote family, cover up his own dark history, and become a righteous vice admiral in the future!
What did that sentence say?

I didn’t have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person!

But there is no way, the reality is that Vergo is loyal to Doflamingo and is willing to sacrifice his life for him at any time.

How do you explain this logic?

All I can say is that Doflamingo's domineering aura was so strong back then that it conquered Vergo both physically and mentally.

That's really bowing down!
"So, who is this person you are talking about?" Although Zhan Guo didn't quite believe it, he couldn't help but ask.

"The commander of the G-5 Naval Base, Vice Admiral Vergo." Bane didn't keep anyone in suspense and gave the answer directly.

When Sengoku heard the name, he immediately said, "If you want to deal with Doflamingo, just deal with him. Don't take revenge here. Didn't he just have a small conflict with you at the meeting? You have to slander him to such an extent? You are too narrow-minded, aren't you? How can you accomplish great things like this? Become a general?"

"Chief Inspector, how can you vilify someone's innocence out of thin air? Haven't you ever thought that it is because I learned this information from Trafalgar Law first in the Sabaody Archipelago that I have a certain hostility towards Vice Admiral Vergo, and therefore behaved like this in that meeting?" Bane complained after giving Zhan Guo a blank look.

"Hey? Now that you put it that way, it does make sense." Zhan Guo stroked his braided beard and pondered for a while.

In his impression, Bane was not the kind of guy who would fall out with others over a trivial matter. There were so many vice admirals in the Navy Headquarters, but he had never seen Bane have such a thing with anyone. Why did he lose his temper with Vergo, a person he had never met before?
"Did Trafalgar Law tell you this information?" Zhan Guo quickly grasped the key point and confirmed it again.

"That's right. When Rosinante was undercover in the Don Quixote Family, Trafalgar Law also lived in the Don Quixote Family for a period of time. You know this better than me, right? It was also at that time that he met Vergo. According to him, Vergo was the highest-ranking cadre of the first generation of the Don Quixote Family's Red Heart Army. Not long after Trafalgar Law joined the Don Quixote Family, Vergo mysteriously disappeared. Until the Mignon Island incident broke out that year, Trafalgar Law sought help from the navy on the island and found Vergo, which eventually led to the tragedy." Bane explained softly.

The more Zhan Guo listened to this, the gloomier his face became. After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "You mean, originally Rosinante could have been rescued, but because of Vergo, he failed to contact our navy, and instead exposed his identity and was killed by Doflamingo!?"

"Yes." Bane nodded.

He could clearly feel that the aura of the Warring States beside him was very unstable, like a volcano that could erupt at any time. Even the bench he was sitting on was shaking, and cracks continued to spread on the wood.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Zhan Guo suppressed his emotions and couldn't help asking.

"Because when you were a marshal, it was not convenient for you to do these things, but now, you are the chief inspector. Are you satisfied with this intelligence as your inauguration gift?" Bane said with a smile.

"Tomorrow, I will arrange the procedures and inspect the naval bases in the New World as the chief inspector. We will go to G-5 together. If the situation is true, I will kill Vergo with my own hands!" Zhan Guo said gritting his teeth.

He always thought that Rosinante's death was caused by Doflamingo, but he never realized that there was an accomplice who played a key role in this matter. This person actually fooled him like a fool and stayed under his nose for twenty years. He was even promoted by him step by step to the position of lieutenant general and even base commander!

It is conceivable how terrible the anger and hatred in Zhan Guo's heart is at this moment!
