From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 196 Zefa: From today on, you will also stand on the top of this ocean!

In the ruined port of Dressrosa, several warships slowly sailed in and anchored, and Zephyr walked down from the warship.

He was not in a hurry because when he was about to get closer, he had already seen Kaido leaving Dressrosa on a cloud of flames.

I think Kaido must have realized that if he continued like this, he would suffer the consequences.

This also means that the crisis is over.

So he first joined up with the fleet of Ain and others before setting foot on Dressrosa.

Looking at the completely destroyed Dressrosa, feeling the scorching heat and the scorching heat waves of the flames, Zephyr's expression was still somewhat solemn.

"It's really a natural disaster. The scene is like hell." Zefa said softly.

"Teacher," Ian called out worriedly.

Before she could speak, Zefa waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Bane should be fine. The most urgent thing is to start a search and rescue to see if there are any survivors in Dressrosa. Although the possibility is not high."

The sailors on the warships disembarked one after another, and under the leadership of Weber and some naval officers, they began to search Dressrosa.

"Have the number of people on the refugee ship been counted?" Zefa asked as he walked.

Nami, who was following him, responded: "We have counted them, there are 6,426 people in total."

Hearing this answer, Zefa's expression was a little gloomy. After a moment, he couldn't help cursing: "Damn pirates!"

According to the navy's data, the entire Dressrosa should have a registered population of about 110,000. But now, under such circumstances, there are only more than 6,000 people alive in the entire Dressrosa, which means that 100,000 people have not been able to escape this hell alive.

Who should be blamed for this? Bane? As the commander of this operation, he certainly had an unshirkable responsibility for the deaths of more than 100,000 people in Dressrosa.

But the so-called monsters of the sea and the 'Four Emperors' are such terrifying existences.

This is the consensus on the sea. Tragedies like the one in Dressrosa cannot be said to happen every day, but on this sea, they are by no means rare.

This is one of the reasons why ordinary people hate pirates so much, but are extremely afraid of big pirates.

Pirates at the level of the Seven Warlords of the Sea are already recognized as having the power to rival or even destroy a country. It can even be said that they are valued by the world's governments precisely because they possess this power and have actually done such things!

Not to mention the top pirates like the Four Emperors who are even more uncontrollable. For example, if the Big Mom Pirates don't destroy several countries every year, everyone will think that Charlotte Linlin has been kind this year.

This guy, just because she didn't get to eat some desserts, she started a war to destroy an entire country and killed tens or even hundreds of thousands of people. This shows how cruel she is. And Kaido is also one of the Four Emperors, so how could he be a good man?
So even though Zefa was in a bad mood, he didn't find it weird or unacceptable.

On the contrary, when fighting against the Four Emperors, it is considered lucky if only one country is destroyed. In the past, there have been examples of wars breaking out among the Four Emperors, destroying all the islands and countries in an entire sea area, causing immeasurable horrific casualties.

"Lord Zephyr, the edge of Dressrosa Island has begun to collapse and is gradually sinking into the sea. We predict that in three days at most, the ground veins of Dressrosa will be completely broken, and then the entire island will sink into the sea and disappear forever." A naval colonel who followed Zephyr quickly stepped forward to report.

"Got it. It looks like they fought really hard." Zephyr smacked his lips and said, "Record the situation and report back to headquarters later. Ask them to prepare to update the sea chart. There will be no more Dressrosa in the future."

At this moment, Zoro paused, with a look of surprise on his face, and said, "My observation Haki sensed that there are a large number of survivors gathered in that direction. It is very likely that they are hiding in a shelter or something like that, like underground. Come on, follow me to rescue them!"

In fact, there is indeed a hidden underground space in Dressrosa, which has been used by Doflamingo to "throw away garbage" all year round, that is, to throw away those broken "toys". And it just so happened that this place was fortunately not affected too deeply in the battle between Bane and Kaido, allowing many people hiding in it to survive.

The closer to the center of the island, the hotter the temperature became. The large number of navy soldiers who followed Zefa had sweat pouring down their faces, and their thin clothes were soaked.

"Even if the battle is over, the impact it caused can still make these elite naval soldiers feel unbearable?" Fubuki looked back at the panting team and thought to himself.

When she was at the headquarters, she had heard people say that the Four Emperors were moving natural disasters. In fact, she was a little disdainful at first. After all, her sister was Tornado, and she had personally experienced the Battle of Marineford, when three of the Four Emperors on the sea gathered together and fought the navy head-on at Marinford. In Fubuki's opinion, although the intensity of that war was very high, it did not feel as devastating as she had imagined.

But this time in Dressrosa, Fubuki deeply felt the power of destruction. She now feels that the battle between Bane and Kaido in Dressrosa is even more terrifying than the Battle of Marineford.

Just as Fubuki was thinking about this, she suddenly stopped in her tracks because she saw Bane.

Not far away, among the ruins of the city block, Bane was sitting on a broken stone. He looked extremely embarrassed, especially his broken arm with hideous bone spurs, which looked extremely scary.

He looked so tired that he didn't even use his Observation Haki to check his surroundings. At the same time, he seemed to be unable to hear any sound and had not even noticed the arrival of Zefa and the others.

"Bane!" Fubuki couldn't help but call out.

Bane's expression was a little confused, as if he heard something, but it was not clear. He rubbed his ears with his hands, then looked around and found the navy who came to look for him.

A relieved smile suddenly appeared on his tired face. Bane tried to stand up, but his legs were weak and he staggered and couldn't stand up.

It's strange to say, although he was tired just now, with Kaido by his side, he still felt that he still had the strength to fight. Although he was seriously injured, he could continue fighting at any time.

But after Kaido left, not long after, he was almost unable to stand up.

"Is this the reason of adrenaline or something?" Bane didn't quite understand and thought to himself.

Fubuki and Nami trotted over to Bane's side, and each held one of his shoulders and said, "Okay, don't try to stand up. Just rest."

"How do you feel?" Nami asked with concern. Before Bane could answer, she anxiously called out, "Doctor, doctor, come and take a look!"

Of course, the military doctors were on their way. Two navy doctors, each carrying a medical kit, rushed to Bane's side quickly. Without saying a word, they sent Nami and Fubuki away, and then skillfully began to check Bane's physical condition.

When Zefa came over slowly with a smile on his face, two military doctors had already started bandaging Bane.

"How is he doing?" Zefa asked.

"It's very bad!" The military doctor with the rank of colonel on his shoulder said with a serious expression: "The injuries that can be observed by the naked eye alone are already fatal. Fortunately, Lieutenant General Bane has special abilities. While stabilizing his injuries, he can also slowly repair his body. Moreover, I simply felt around and found that Lieutenant General Bane has at least 26 fractures on his body. These are the ones I can feel. There are probably more that I can't feel, not to mention bone fractures. Look at his lips, they are almost colorless and have turned white, which means that he has lost a lot of blood. Judging from the wounds and the blood on his body, it is also a lethal amount."

The military doctor said a lot of things, but the core of the matter was this: Bane was not dead yet, and the fact that he could still sit here and breathe was simply a medical miracle!

However, considering that there are so many strange and bizarre abilities in this world, it is not unacceptable.

After listening to the military doctor say that he should die more than a dozen times, Ben had a dark face and finally couldn't help but said: "Okay, okay, I'm not dead yet. I'm really sorry for your judgment."

"Hahahahahaha" Zefa laughed loudly, then his expression darkened and he asked, "How is Kaido?"

"How should I put it? On the surface, he should be about the same as me. However, considering that he can still leave Dressrosa on the flame cloud, and even fly to another island to recuperate in this situation, he should have an advantage over me in terms of physical strength at least." Bane thought for a while and said.

"In this sea, no one dares to say that he is stronger than Kaido in physical strength. After all, that guy is a natural monster, and he has become the top mythical beast ability user in the animal department, and he has awakened his abilities. Even if you are equally strange, you are definitely not as good as him in this respect." Zefa said as a matter of course.

Bane thought so too. Although Kaido's physical fitness was also very strong, in terms of physical strength alone, Kaido should indeed be stronger.

"If I hadn't come, would there be any chance of winning if we continued fighting?" After thinking about it, Zefa couldn't help but ask.

Bane was silent for a moment after hearing this. After a moment, he shook his head with a helpless expression and said, "I definitely can't win. Although my ability can restrain him, and the Dark-Dark Fruit has greatly affected his ability, but apart from ability and pure power, he has an absolute advantage in all other aspects. In my current situation, I'm afraid the winner will be decided tonight. I lose."

Zephyr stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then saw that Bane seemed a little disappointed, so he smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? Since Whitebeard died in Marinford, Kaido has become the recognized strongest on the sea. You were able to fight him for two days and three nights in a one-on-one duel, and even with my support, you directly frightened Kaido to withdraw. This is already a very incredible record, okay? There are only a handful of people on the sea who can do this. From today on, everyone will regard you as a strong man standing at the top of the sea."
