From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 212 Melview's Elite Ghoul Force: Flame!
A few days later, Bane's fleet also arrived in Melview.

Zoro and the others were also visiting this place for the first time. Everything they saw was new to them. Once they arrived on the island, the team disbanded and each of them started the "exploration" mode.

After Bane passed through the chaotic construction site and arrived at the scientific research area, he met Binz who was waiting there.

"General Bane." Binz greeted him very respectfully.

"Binz, long time no see. How has Mr. Zefa been these days?" Bane asked with a smile, patting Binz's shoulder.

"The teacher is very good." Binz responded with a smile.

Bane nodded and then asked, "Is Kuzan here?"

"I arrived four days earlier than you. I'm currently visiting Dr. Kinos's elite force training with my teacher. Can I take you there?" Binz asked while responding.

"Elite troops? I'm also very interested. Let's go and take a look together." Bane said with great interest.

Along the way, Bane kept talking with Binz and learned about some of the current progress in Melview.

Teacher Zefa's ability is indeed outstanding. He has arranged the entire Melview very clearly. Dr. Kinos is also very capable and has completed many of the envisioned plans.

When Bane saw Zephyr, he was standing in front of a large screen with Kuzan, which was broadcasting a live broadcast of the elite troops' actual combat training.

"Bane?" Zefa heard the noise behind him, turned around and said with a happy smile on his face: "Are you back?"

"Teacher." Bane also greeted happily, then looked at Kuzan and said, "Since you have decided to come and see, why don't you wait for me to go together?"

Kuzan obviously looked like he had already integrated into the place. After hearing this, he couldn't help but tease: "While you are not here, a surprise inspection will allow us to see the truth here, right?"

"Hahahaha, that makes sense." Bane laughed and then asked, "So how do you feel about this place?"

"Very good, very good, very energetic, and worth looking forward to." Kuzan praised without hesitation.

Just when Bane wanted to say something, Zefa said, "Let's begin."

As a result, the attention of several people shifted to the live broadcast screen.

Inside was the ruins of a destroyed town. Binz on the side introduced: "This was the area that was previously planned to be demolished, but after half of it was demolished, Dr. Kinos stopped the project and chose this place as a combat training ground."

Soon, Bane and others saw a group of navy soldiers in very strange attire appear on the screen.

The reason why they are weird is that their style is completely different from that of ordinary navy soldiers. If it weren't for the navy logo printed on the tactical vests on their backs, Bane would have thought they were playing real-life CS!

Each of them is like the three silly brothers in Cross Fire.

The tactical helmets completely concealed their faces. Each of them held a submachine gun, a string of grenades hung around their waists, and daggers and pistols were tied to their legs. In short, they gave people a very elite feeling.

This live broadcast divided the elite troops into two sides to conduct actual combat confrontation drills.

Soon, the two sides began to engage in street fighting, with paint bullets used for training flying all over the sky. Then the environment began to change, and a large amount of smoke filled the battlefield. However, because of the tactical helmets, it did not seem to affect their vision very much. The two sides were still exchanging fire, and the outcome was evenly matched.

"This kind of individual firepower configuration, coupled with their tactical qualities, is indeed a great improvement. I don't even dare to imagine how the elite soldiers of our navy will be defeated in front of them." Kuzan said with emotion.

He had heard from Zefa that these members of Melville's elite forces were all elite soldiers selected from ordinary naval soldiers below the rank of lieutenant, but the situation they were showing now was completely inconsistent with Kuzan's impression of naval soldiers.

Especially the physical fitness of these people is not at the same level at all.

Can an elite navy soldier in the general concept jump from the spot and directly jump into the ruins as high as a three-story building? Impossible!
One has to be at least a lieutenant and have a certain level of strength to be able to achieve this!

But these people, everyone can do it, they are extremely mobile!
As soon as Kuzan finished speaking, as if because they had run out of ammunition, the elite troops who were fighting each other changed their fighting style at the same time. The originally highly orderly and coordinated combat suddenly turned into a reckless charge.

These people just threw away the submachine guns in their hands, exerted force on their feet, and rushed towards the enemy. In the process, their bodies also underwent "deformation".

"A person with special abilities!?" Kuzan asked in surprise.

"No, this is called 'Kagune'. It's not the ability of a devil fruit, but a biochemical agent developed by Dr. Genos. It can greatly improve the physical fitness of ordinary people and build a new organ in the body, just like them." Zefa introduced.

"I see." Kuzan said with a somewhat shocked expression, "It's a bit like the rumored artificial animal-type ability user of the Beasts Pirates, right?"

"It's a bit similar." Zefa nodded.

"What about the side effects? Does this kind of improvement have no side effects?" Kuzan couldn't help but ask again.

"The side effect is that the appetite becomes huge, and they are very fond of meat and extremely averse to vegetarian food." Zefa rubbed his forehead helplessly and said, "So the pressure on logistics will become very great."

Kuzan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Teacher, when you pretend to be helpless, can you please not raise the corners of your mouth?" Compared with the increase, this side effect is equivalent to nothing, right?
Soon, an intense actual combat exercise came to an end.

After a while, Dr. Kinos came over here. When he saw Bane, he was the first to greet him and said, "You're back?"

"Well, you've done a good job during this period," Bane praised.

After a brief chat, Dr. Kinos looked at everyone and said, "How is it? Is this configuration sufficient for an elite force?"

"That's pretty impressive. How many Baileys are needed for this set?" Zefa asked while confirming.

"From equipment to potions, the total is three million Baileys." Dr. Kinos quoted.

"Three million." Zefa thought about it. Compared with the fighting power just now, it seemed that it was not unacceptable?

After some discussion, they decided to use these as a model and start forming an elite force.

"The preliminary estimate is that the number of people is about 10,000." Bane said after thinking for a while.

"Ten thousand people?" Zefa looked at Binz.

Binz instantly understood the teacher's look and reported: "Including the troops General Benn brought back this time, the entire Melview currently has a basic force of 36,724 people."

"That means less than one-third of the troops will be eliteized? Not bad." Zefa said after thinking about it.

First, the most elite soldiers inside are "evolved". In this way, the others will also feel pressure. At the same time, seeing their former colleagues become such elites will also give them enough motivation and be able to gather centripetal force and spirit.

"Except for the first batch of elites who are selected from the best, the subsequent general soldiers who want to become elites will need enough merits to prove themselves. Only in this way can they feel that their achievements are hard-earned." Kuzan suggested.

Although Bane is not short of money, it is impossible for him to give it away for free all the time. He needs to fully mobilize the subjective initiative of these people!

"Let's calculate it this way. Three million Beli per person, and a 10,000-man army is..." Zefa was calculating, and Dr. Kinos beside him immediately said, "30 billion Beli."

"Only 30 billion?" Zefa asked in surprise, "Not even one-tenth of the price of that battleship?"

"But none of these take into account the value of human beings. These elite navy personnel are the most expensive assets in this plan. Medicines are secondary. Those firearms and equipment are already forming production lines. Once they are mass-produced, they can be said to be very cheap." said Dr. Kinos.

People can become stronger instantly by injecting drugs, but related qualities such as tactical literacy will not appear out of thin air. If you want to create individual elites, you only need to inject drugs, but if you want to achieve the overall eliteness of the troops, you need strict training and development, and these are not included in the cost.

The Navy's daily expenses and maintenance costs have already covered it.

"Well, we can't just keep calling it the 'elite force'. We have to give this newly formed force a special title," Kuzan suggested.

"I suggest calling it Asura!" Dr. Kinos immediately raised his hand and said.

Although he appears to be a serious scientific researcher, Bane knows that he has a strong middle school spirit, which can be felt from the various strange names in his family of evolution.

Things like Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, Beast King, Scythe Mantis and so on.

"It's not good to be too loud, right?" Zefa said tactfully.

"Assault troops?" Kuzan hesitated.

Dr. Kinos objected firmly, "Too mediocre, isn't it? Commando troops, I can't hear anything special about them, okay?"

Bane was too lazy to participate in their discussion. He looked at Binz and asked, "Isn't Nico Robin here too? Where is she?"

"In the data room, they seem to be very busy these days, as if they are helping the doctor decipher some strange texts." Binz said.

"Go and have a look," Bane said immediately.

Without caring about what name these people would come up with, Bane had already slipped away.

About ten minutes later, Dr. Kinos successfully defeated Kuzan, the "newcomer", and Zefa, the "old stubborn", with his technological hegemony.

"Bane, what do you think? The name of the Flame Force is good, right? It's not too fancy, and it doesn't seem... Hmm? Where's Bane?" Dr. Kinos said, looking around in confusion.

A small researcher behind him said awkwardly: "General Bane left more than ten minutes ago."

"Asshole!" Dr. Kinos cursed inwardly in shame and annoyance as no one shared his joy of victory.
