From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 26 Shocked Zoro with his first punch!
In the ruins of the Rogue Town Naval Base, a large number of navy soldiers were carrying out cleanup work. Unexpectedly, Garp's earth-shattering punch did not cause many casualties among the navy soldiers. It can only be said that the top strong man's control over his own power is indeed in place.

On the rubble of a ruin, Smoker was smoking three cigars in his mouth, while Bane was also leaning against a rock, chatting with him.

"So you didn't kill Thatch?" Smoker asked Bane with an incredible look.

"Whether I killed him or not, what's the point now?" Bane replied casually, and then as if he had thought of something, he looked at Smoker with a vigilant look and said, "You don't want me to return his bounty, do you? No way, absolutely not. It's good enough that I didn't ask you for Ace's bounty."

"We have completely blocked the news about Ace, so we naturally can't give you any bounty. What's more, if our navy hadn't taken action, you might not be able to capture him." Smoker gave Bane a disdainful look.

Thinking back to when he first met Bane, he admired Bane very much. Now he felt that he must have been blind at the time. He didn't know whether this guy was just or not, but he was absolutely cunning.

Bane also knew that it was impossible to get Ace's bounty. Before the battle was over, the navy had already activated the emergency plan, directly cutting off the signal waves of the entire Rogue Town and blocking the port immediately.

This also means that what happens here cannot be transmitted to the outside world without the permission of the navy.

According to Smoker, the entire Rogue Town will enter a three-month control period. During this period, news about Ace will be blocked until the Navy is ready for the next step.

There are many things he didn't elaborate on, but Bane is no fool. The actions taken by the navy undoubtedly mean that this matter is not over yet. Not only is it not over yet, it should be said that it has just begun.

Perhaps the navy has already made up its mind to take action against the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Battle of Marineford, a major event that is enough to affect the entire world's pattern and development of the situation, obviously will not be resolved in a hurry.

The reason why the navy was able to win this war is not only because of their stronger overall strength, but also because they made sufficient preparations in the early stages!

Just as Smoker was talking about these things with Bane, not far away, Dashigi was walking towards them with Zoro and Nami.

Nowadays, Rogue Town is under martial law, and even if the naval base has become a ruin, it is impossible to let people in casually. It is obvious that it was with Tashigi's help that Zoro and Nami were able to come in.

As soon as he came over, Zoro asked, "Didn't we agree to meet at the naval base? Where is the naval base?"

When he opened his mouth, Nami beside him laughed out loud, and then covered her mouth embarrassedly.

And Bane looked at Zoro in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to tell jokes!?"

Zoro didn't respond to Ben's teasing, and asked curiously, "What happened? I was at the other end of town and could see a huge explosion. The whole island shook several times because of it. Did something happen at the arsenal?"

"That wasn't a big explosion. It was just an old man who punched this place in anger, that's all." Bane said with a sneer.

"Ah?" Zoro was stunned when he heard this, then he looked around at the ruins of the base, and finally his eyes stopped at the terrifying abyss on the surface in the distance, and then he said: "Are you sure you are not kidding me?"

"Of course." Bane exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Impossible, how could such a ridiculous thing happen?" Zoro looked completely unconvinced.

"Frog in the well." Bane looked at Zoro with a serious look and said, "What I said is the truth. The old man who threw this punch is Vice Admiral Garp, who is known as the hero of the navy. He is also recognized as one of the world's top strongmen. Now, take a good look around you, feel the gap, feel the despair, and finally, work hard to become a strong man like him, Roronoa Zoro."

As if sensing the expectation in Bane's tone and the seriousness in his eyes, Zoro stopped arguing and took another serious look at the ruins around him before asking, "Can the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Jurakor Mihawk, do this?"

"As far as I know, he should be able to split the entire island where Rogue Town is located in two with one sword. This is the strength of the strongest players." Bane said after thinking for a while. Seeing that Zoro fell into deep thought, Nami asked, "What happened here just now? Why did Vice Admiral Garp appear here?"

Bann then explained: "In order to hunt me down, the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace, brought his men to Rogue Town, and then we had a conflict and a fight here."

"What's the result? What about Ace?" Nami asked curiously.

Nowadays, Nami still hates all pirates fairly and impartially, so naturally she doesn't have a good impression of Ace, and there is a hint of expectation in her tone.

"We caught him." Bane laughed.

At this time, Smoker also spoke up from the side: "Don't tell this news to anyone else, at least don't tell anyone until you see the news in the newspaper, so as not to affect our navy's plans."

"Understood. Don't worry." Bane agreed.

"What follow-up actions will the Navy take?" Nami asked like a curious baby.

"Then it's not convenient for me to disclose it. After all, it concerns the secrets of our navy." Smoker shook his head, looking unwilling to say more.

Bane said very unceremoniously: "Is there anything else that is inconvenient to disclose? At this point, we are also one of the participants. I can guess with my toes that the Navy will use Ace to make targeted plans against the Whitebeard Pirates next. In other words, the Navy is going to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates, who are known as the strongest."

Hearing what Bane said, Nami looked very shocked. Perhaps if you asked Zoro who Whitebeard was, he would answer that he didn't know. After all, he didn't pay much attention to these things. His mind was full of kendo. The most he knew was the number one swordsman Mihawk.

But Nami is different. She is still very concerned about the news and situation on the sea. When she heard that the navy was going to go to war with Whitebeard, she knew that this was definitely big news that could shock the world.

What made her even more excited was that she seemed to be one of the first members to know the news, and could even be said to have participated in the event personally.

But after a little excitement, he felt scared again. The Whitebeard Pirates are known as the most powerful pirate group in the world. Their captain, Whitebeard, is not only known as the strongest man, but is also widely recognized as a strong man who "has the power to destroy the world."

They are just a bunch of little minions who have never left the East China Sea, and suddenly they have become the enemies of such a terrifying and powerful man. Isn’t it worrying just thinking about it?

But when she saw Bane looking relaxed, Zoro not caring at all, and even Captain Smoker of the navy feeling no pressure at all, she felt that she was thinking too much. Even if the sky fell, there were strong men of the navy holding it up, so it would not hit them for the time being.

"Well, I was going to stay with you for a few days, but now it seems there's no chance." Bane looked at the ruins around him, complained, and said to Smoker, "Do you have a record pointer for the Grand Line? Give me one, so I can save myself some trouble."

The record pointer is not a precious thing. Bane can find it on the market if he wants, but it will take some time.

Seeing Bane's confident look, Smoker sighed helplessly and said to Dashiki, "Go find him a record pointer."

After saying this, Smoker continued to say to Bane: "Perhaps our navy's plans will require your cooperation in the future."

Before he could finish his words, Ben smiled and said, "Contact me anytime if you need anything. After all, we are friends."
