From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 249 Hancock: I said I didn’t want it, but they forced it on me!

On the deck of the warship, Bane looked at Moria, whose eyes were rolled back, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and there was a huge cut or knife wound on his body. This guy had obviously fainted, but fortunately he still had a breath left.

Then, Bane looked at Dr. Hogback, who was standing trembling beside Weber.

Then he asked with a puzzled expression: "Where is the invisible man? Did he run away? Can the transparent fruit really make it impossible for even the observation Haki to detect it? And if I remember correctly, wasn't there a little girl who played with ghosts? Where is she?"

Weber said with an embarrassed expression, "The Invisible Man was really vulnerable. I got excited and used the Repulsion Shell, and he was torn to pieces right away. Sorry."

"So my transparent fruit is gone?" Bane asked in surprise, "I was originally planning to research it."

"What are you researching? How to use it to enter the women's bathhouse?" Nami complained without giving any face.

"Hahahaha." Bane laughed awkwardly twice and said, "How is that possible? Would I do that? I'm just curious. You don't understand the things in the invisible world. Forget it, he's just an ordinary superhuman. It doesn't matter."

His heart was bleeding, but Bane remained righteous on the surface and magnanimously ignored this magical devil fruit.

"As for the ghost girl mentioned in the intelligence, I didn't see her." Fubuki also reported at this time.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ben turned his gaze towards Hogback, raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me what's going on?"

"Ah," Hogbak rubbed his hands in fear and said, "General Bane, when the news of the abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea Act came, Lord Moria drove Perona away the next day. Now we don't know where she is."

"Really?" Bane glanced at Zoro upon hearing this.

Zoro looked at Ban with some confusion and asked, "Why are you looking at me? There really isn't any. I used the Thunder Fruit to bless my Observation Haki and searched the ship, but couldn't find it."

"No." Bane shook his head and said nothing more.

He had originally been thinking that if Zoro met Perona here, there might be some sparks or something, after all, in the original story, they were quite compatible.

It seems that Moria knew that the navy would definitely cause trouble for him, so he sent Perona away in advance.

Hogbak quickly continued to explain some things. Sure enough, the Thriller Bark was not originally in this area deep in the sea fog, but after Moria learned that the Seven Warlords of the Sea Act had been abolished, he specifically hid in the depths of the sea fog, hoping to use this method to avoid dealing with the navy.

As it turned out, it was useless, but it did cause some trouble for Bane and others.

"If you have anything else you want to ask, I will tell you everything I know. I hope that..." Hogbak rubbed his hands stiffly and said some flattering words.

However, Bane was too lazy to listen and waved his hand, saying, "You desecrate corpses and want to break the taboo of life and death. Do you think you are Tobirama Senju? Just now you called Moria 'Master'. It's obvious that you are still harboring evil intentions. Someone, take him down and execute him. He is an eyesore here."

"Mercy, mercy!" Hobak was so frightened that he was paralyzed and cried for mercy.

But unfortunately, no one on the ship sympathized with him, especially Fubuki. Seeing those disgusting zombies, she felt like she couldn't eat for three days. How could she let this guy go?
Two navy soldiers came up and took Hogbag to the bow, one on the left and one on the right. Then they shot him in the head and pushed the body into the sea.

After the two navy soldiers executed Hobgobak, they looked back and saw that Moria had turned into a corpse, while Bane was holding a brand new devil fruit in his hand.

"It's obviously a very powerful ability, but in this guy's hands, it's been delayed." Bane looked at the Parahuman Shadow Fruit in his hand and smacked his lips.

Without further delay, the navy on the warships soon began to search for spoils on the "desertified" three-masted sailing ship.

It took about two days to completely clean up the island. What was a little unexpected was that Charlotte Linling's daughter, Loki's sweetheart, Lola, was not here. Maybe she had some new encounters and escaped from Moria's ship during these two years?
Or has it already cooled down?
The treasures harvested were quite a lot. So many ships disappeared here every year, some of them were looted by Moria, and some of them were caused by various reasons. But Moria had been hiding in the Devil's Triangle for so many years, with only ships coming in and not leaving. The amount of treasures looted was still astonishing, and the waterline of several warships was lowered a lot.

At the same time, Moria’s signal amplifying device was also found. From now on, the warship no longer has to worry about losing the signal here.

Without staying any longer, Bane reported the situation to the headquarters, took a few photos of Moria's death and faxed them back. Then the warship began to move towards the direction of leaving the Devil's Triangle.

Only Nami felt a little regretful. She thought that if she was given some more time, she would be able to map the situation in the entire Devil's Triangle. At that time, this would be a new breakthrough in the history of navigation on the Grand Line.

However, considering that the sea level might submerge this place in a few years, and the environment would certainly undergo drastic changes by then, there would not be much practical significance in mapping it now, so Nami convinced herself.

A few days later, just as Bane's fleet broke out of the fog and saw the light of day again, the Navy Headquarters contacted him. It wasn't Sakaski, who probably didn't feel comfortable contacting Bane, so the Chief of Staff was still in charge of communicating with Bane.

On the deck, Bane was holding a fish knife and cutting open the belly of a sea fish that was about five meters long. His body was covered in blood, but his expression was very excited.

"I declare that the Devil's Triangle will be the holy land of fishing in my mind from now on. Look, I caught such a big fish. What does this prove? It proves that it's not that my skills are not good enough, but that the previous environment was not good enough!" Bane pulled out the fish intestines, threw them into the sea, and said happily.

For a moment, he wanted to switch places with Borsalino. He would be in charge of the first half of the Grand Line. Anyway, it was not far from Marinford, so he could come here to fish when he had nothing to do, and complete Nami's mapping by the way. No, it was mainly to complete Nami's mapping and go fishing at the same time!

It's all about charts! It's all about science!
"Stop fiddling with your fish. Are you going to accept the Chief of Staff's call or not?" Ian complained helplessly as he stood in the distance.

She was afraid that Ben would accidentally get her covered in the smelly fish blood.

After washing his hands in the bucket, Ben said, "Take it. Take it now."

When Ai En picked up the Den Den Mushi, Chief of Staff Ahe asked curiously, "Why is it taking so long? Are you busy with something important?"

"How do you know I just caught a five-meter-long fish?" Bane said with a slightly excited tone.

Chief of Staff???
Who asked you!?
"Don't worry, how could I forget you, Chief of Staff? I'll marinate the fish later and send you some when the time comes." Bane said to himself.

The chief of staff was confused, I didn't say I wanted it! ?
Seeing that Ben was about to talk endlessly about this fish, Chief of Staff Ahe couldn't stand it anymore and quickly interrupted him and said, "Don't talk about your fish anymore. The matter about Nine Snake Island has been concluded. The headquarters has made a new decision."

"What do you mean?" Bane perked up and asked.

"In view of the fact that Boa Hancock has been fulfilling the duties of the Seven Warlords of the Sea since she went to sea, and has cooperated very well with our navy's various operations, and has not carried out any serious pirate looting in the past ten years, the Navy Headquarters has discussed and decided to no longer recognize Amazon Lily as a pirate country, cancel the wanted warrant and reward for Boa Hancock, and recommend her to become one of the member states of the World Government. Amazon Lily will also be provided with an interest-free loan of 60 billion berries, which will be paid to Marijoa on its behalf in the form of Heavenly Gold over three years. After this, the two sides will abide by the regulations of the member states and establish a bilateral relationship of mutual assistance and friendship." said Chief of Staff Ahe.

Bane???

Did this battle force Nine Snake Island to become a member state?

"No, Amazon Lily is located in the doldrums, it's extremely remote and the domestic resources are scarce. Hancock conducts four or five large-scale looting operations almost every year. These are all confirmed by the intelligence. How can you say that they don't engage in pirate looting? Isn't this just lying with open eyes?" Bane couldn't help but complain.

"In fact, this matter is debatable in terms of facts. You said it was a pirate robbery, and indeed, they flew the flag of the Nine Snakes Pirates. However, the problem is that the victims don't think so. In the previous records and inquiries, the victims all said with certainty that they took the initiative and voluntarily gave those expensive goods and various materials to the charming Pirate Empress for free. It's just that at that time, because of the Seven Warlords of the Sea Act, we didn't have a very detailed and in-depth investigation. After making such a record, we classified it as pirate behavior." Chief of Staff Ahe argued.

"Ah, this." Bane was speechless for a moment.

If you think about it carefully, it's not just these merchant ships. Hancock had also encountered a naval warship before. It seems that after investigation, the officers on that warship took the initiative to give military supplies to Hancock.

Of course, their endings were also very happy. They all got reemployed after being laid off.

When others robbed and looted, the other side fought desperately, and was in great pain afterwards, cursing the pirates' cruelty and brutality.

When Hancock was robbing, the other party fully cooperated with her. She regretted it afterwards, always feeling that she did not give enough and failed to make the Pirate Queen smile.

I have to say, sometimes reality is so outrageous!

Can you say that Hancock is robbing?

It's obviously a bunch of lickers who did it voluntarily, right?

Even though Hancock said no, they were still so anxious that they insisted on giving it to her!
Bane could even imagine that if the World Government could survive until the next World Conference, Hancock would go to Marijoa for a meeting as a member of the World Government's royal family. At the meeting, he would casually mention the hardship and poverty of Amazon Lily and lament a little. The royal families of other member countries would probably sell everything they had to provide noble internationalist support. They would rather go bankrupt than let Amazon Lily live a well-off life for everyone!
What does it mean to get rid of poverty and become rich? What does it mean to be a virtuous king?
Depend on!
"According to what you said, if Hancock had become the emperor of Amazon Lily earlier, would this country still need to become a pirate? There are plenty of people willing to support her." Bane complained.

"Who says it isn't? Perhaps in the future, we will really be able to see this dramatic scene. Well, without further ado, since you are the closest to that place, this matter will be jointly responsible by you and Borsalino to reach an agreement with Amazon Lily, and you can set off directly to Nine Snake Island immediately." Chief of Staff Ahe gave another instruction.

Ben thought, there's no need to take action this time, so it would be a good thing to go and see the charm of the most beautiful woman, so that he can have a rough idea in the future, so he agreed immediately.

As for what will happen after that, once things in the New World are resolved, will Sakaski bring up old scores with Nine Snake Island? Bane thinks it is very likely.
