From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 197 Bane shocks the Navy Headquarters!

Three days later, on the warship, Bane woke up from his bed and felt sore all over. However, the feeling of excruciating pain all over his body in the previous two days had disappeared.

"The side effects of the Dark-Dark Fruit are really terrible." Bane muttered.

The pain was twice as severe. Normally, he wouldn't feel anything special, but this time, he felt great fighting Kaido.

Fortunately, this double pain is not without its benefits. His recovery ability is extremely strong. He was able to get out of bed and walk freely yesterday. After waking up today, he felt that his bones had fully recovered.

Moreover, with the repairing power of the fruit, there is no need to worry about leaving any hidden injuries, which is what Bane is most satisfied with.

After washing and tidying up, Bane put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.

There was no one in the cabin, which made him feel a little strange. When he arrived on the deck, he found it was extremely crowded, as if everyone on the warship had run to the deck.

"Lord Ben!"

"Are you feeling better?"

"Make way for Lieutenant General Bane!"

With greetings and courtesy from a group of navy men, Bane finally arrived at the front of the deck. Zefa and others were also standing here at this moment, their attention focused on the sea in the distance.

Dressrosa. A country with a long history, an ancient country that once gave birth to twenty kings. Today, its fate has come to an end.

The entire island's geological veins were completely broken, resulting in a lack of sufficient supporting force. Now the island is slowly sinking beneath the sea.

The death of an island is indeed a rare scene. Bane walked to Zephyr's side and looked at this scene with some emotion in his heart.

It can be said that he sank this island with his own hands, which made Bane feel complicated.

On the one hand, he was somewhat proud of his own strength, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but feel sad about the dangers of the sea and the misfortune of Dressrosa.

While Ben was thinking about this, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure dressed in maid clothes, and asked in surprise, "Why is she here?"

As if she heard Bane's voice, the maid looked at Bane with some fear, took two steps back, and hid behind Nami. After Nami noticed this, she smiled and explained: "This is Baby-5, a former member of the Don Quixote family, and now my personal maid."

"What's going on?" Bane asked curiously.

"Before, Zoro discovered that there were still a large number of survivors in the underground pits of Dressrosa, so after sending you back to the warship, we went to rescue you, and then found her there," Nami explained.

Baby-5 has a very strange personality. She is an extremely pleasing and devoted person and cannot refuse other people's requests at all. Originally, when the war broke out in Dressrosa, she was ordered to go to the battlefield for support. As a result, as soon as she left King's Highlands, she met a large number of people who wanted to flee. Then those people naturally asked Baby-5 for help. The girl forgot her mission on the spot and excitedly took these ordinary people to find a good place to take refuge in Dressrosa.

Because she was a member of the Don Quixote family, she knew the location of the underground pit very well, so she took a large number of Dressrosa refugees to seek refuge there. Because of this, she accidentally avoided the battle between Kaido and Bane and luckily survived!
Nami discovered her when she was rescuing the refugees. The cunning little thief immediately discovered Baby-5's characteristic of not being able to refuse, and after several tricks, this stupid girl became Nami's little maid.

"I have communicated with many survivors of Dressrosa and confirmed that although Baby-5 is a member of the Don Quixote family, she has hardly committed any crimes. She is not responsible for pirate affairs on weekdays. She mainly serves as the head maid of King's Highlands. I think she is a rather pitiful creature. The reason she became a pirate is not because she wanted to be a pirate, but because she would not refuse. Just like when I tried to invite her to join the navy, she excitedly agreed." Nami explained while holding Bane's arm.

Before Bane could speak, Nami shook Bane's arm and said coquettishly, "Master Bane, I am also a colonel of the headquarters now. I have the power to activate the headquarters' amnesty law, right? Let Baby-5 stay? Okay?"

The Amnesty Act is a special policy of the Navy Headquarters. Officers starting from the colonel level have the power to activate this act to amnesty some "suitable" pirates.

As for the definition of "suitable", it is very broad. If they say you are suitable, then you are suitable. If they say you are not suitable, you will have to go to prison in Imperial even if you argue to the sky.

Bane found it a little funny after hearing all this, but he really didn't hate Baby-5. He could even say that he quite liked this silly girl.

So after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and agreed: "In this case, you have to shoulder the responsibility. You know her character and weaknesses very well. Don't make a farce in the future where you are asked by the enemy and then you sabotage her. I will settle the score with you then."

"I understand, I understand. Don't worry, leave it to me!" Nami said happily.

Without asking more questions about this matter, Bane quickly asked: "What about the other cadres of the Don Quixote family? Have they been found?" "Except for Diamante, who was dug out from the ruins by Zoro and is still half dead, the rest of the cadres are all missing. Considering that we have been blockading Dressrosa, they should not have escaped, so their fate is obvious." Nami said this while looking at Dressrosa, which was almost completely swallowed by the sea water.

The island is about to be lost, is there any need to say what will happen to those people?
It is highly likely that he was caught in the battle between Bane and Kaido, and died without even a splash. No, a more accurate guess is that he was burned to ashes.

"Including this final rescue, how many survivors are there in total?" Bane asked again.

"More than nine thousand six hundred." Nami said with a slightly gloomy expression.

This final answer also means that nearly 100,000 people sank into the sea along with Dressrosa.

Bane's expression did not show any emotional changes. As for how he felt, Nami did not ask any more questions. After a moment of silence, Bane asked again, "Among the survivors, is there anyone worth noting?"

"We've checked everything, nothing." Nami confirmed.

Bane sighed softly. This also meant the complete demise of the Riku clan. It was likely that Rikudold III, Rebecca, Violet, and even Cyrus did not survive.

As a royal family, perishing together with Dressrosa. Perhaps this is fate?

What made Bane a little regretful was that the rest of the cadres of the Don Quixote family were missing, which also meant that he could not seize the abilities of those people as planned. Speaking of which, he was quite interested in and looking forward to Sucrose's Childlike Fun Fruit before, but it was a pity that the plan could not keep up with the changes. Kaido's intrusion and Bane's decision to fight him affected the fate of tens of thousands of people.

After Bane finished communicating with Nami, Ian quickly squeezed next to Bane and said, "Young Master, I need to report to you about the situation at the headquarters."

"You say." Ben said immediately in a serious tone.

"Inspector Sengoku, who was originally scheduled to come to support, returned to the G-5 Naval Base three days ago. The headquarters has already learned about the battle between you and Kaido. Since the three admirals are not in the headquarters, the Chief of Staff, as the highest commander of the headquarters, has expressed some suggestions." Iin said.

"A suggestion?" Ben stroked his chin and said, "Not an order?"

"No, it's a suggestion." Ai En said: "Given your current performance and strength, I'm afraid that no one in this department, except the generals and marshals, will dare to give you orders easily."

Theoretically speaking, as a candidate for admiral, Bane should be on the same level as the chief of staff, chief inspector and others. In the headquarters, the only ones who are really above him are the admirals and the marshals. But unfortunately, the navy has no marshal now, and the three admirals are unable to get away.

Borsalino ran away to avoid the spotlight and has been unable to contact him since he disappeared from the Sabaody Archipelago.

As for Kuzan and Sakaski, the winner has not been decided yet. The fight in Punk Hazard was earth-shattering and has been reported in the newspapers for seven days. If there are no accidents, the fight between the two should be over in three days. I wonder if Kuzan's leg can be saved this time?
In this situation, no one in the headquarters is qualified to give any orders to Bane. In the past, the Chief of Staff Ahe would give him some guidance as a senior, but in this sea, strength is respected after all. The first group affected by the battle between Bane and Kaido is the Marine Headquarters.

Therefore, even Chief of Staff Ahe would only give Bane advice instead of giving any orders.

"Is the impact so great?" Bane asked in surprise.

"Just as the teacher said, before Whitebeard died, Kaido was widely praised as the strongest creature in the three realms of sea, land and air, and was generally recognized by the sea as the 'king of single combat'. After the end of the top war, Whitebeard died in the battle, and Kaido's title as the strongest has been undisputed. Since then, he is considered the strongest person in the sea today." Iin said softly.

"But even so, I didn't beat him. I just fought with him for two days and three nights. If I continue, I will definitely lose," Bane said with some confusion.

"No, that's just your self-acknowledgement. The actual situation, if evaluated from an objective perspective, is that you fought one against two and killed one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Donquixote Doflamingo, and fought with the Four Emperors, Kaido, for two days and three nights, eventually forcing Kaido to evacuate Dressrosa. This is our general perception of your situation this time." When Ian said this, his tone was a little excited and excited, and he seemed to want to cheer for Bane.

What does it mean to overwhelm the Navy Headquarters?
Bane only realized it later!

Yes, damn it, before he fought with Kaido, he killed one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
Although he himself knew how easy it was for him to kill Doflamingo, but to the outside world, the meaning was completely different. After all, he was one of the three major forces at sea, the Shichibukai, and Doflamingo was also a majestic figure in the New World.

In terms of Dressrosa's overall record, Bane's performance was extremely strong and dazzling. He first killed the Seven Warlords of the Sea and then fought the Four Emperors!

That is to say, this news has not spread out yet and has only been circulated among the top leaders of the Navy Headquarters. Otherwise, the sea would be shaking because of it!
Today, Bane can definitely be called a top master who can influence the situation on the ocean!
Not to mention the Navy Headquarters, even the five people in the Holy Land Marijoa would have to adjust their attitude towards him and pay enough attention to him!
