From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 5 The current situation of the empire, it’s better to run away and avoid the limelight!
Bane took the RC cell injection from the suitcase, played with it for a while, and then asked, "How do I use it?"

"Just insert it into your waist and inject it." Frant introduced it, but after hesitating for a moment, he said, "But I've never seen it before, so you'd better not use it lightly."

"Are you afraid that I'll eat you?" Bane said with a smile.

Of course, even if Front hadn't said this, Bane wouldn't have injected it. Before eating the Dark-Dark Fruit, he might have considered it. But now, he has many options and there's no need to take the risk.

However, this injection is not without value. Perhaps we can take it to the world of pirates and find someone to try it out. If the effect is really good and there are no unacceptable side effects, then we can consider it then.

After putting the injection back into the box, Ben asked casually, "How many injections do you have left?"

"A few injections? Do you really think this is some ordinary stuff? This is a stable superpower from another world. Although it has some side effects, there are many people willing to take the risk on the black market." Frant said with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

In fact, what he said does make sense. Although it has certain side effects, this kind of thing must be very popular on the black market. Even if the side effect is cannibalism, there must be a lot of desperadoes who want it!

But Ben didn't respond. He tapped the ash off his cigar and asked again, "So how many shots are there?"

"I'm really impressed by you. Do you want three shots?" Frank asked.

"How much is it?" Ben asked again.

"Well, I also bought it from someone else at a high price. Not to mention making money from you, it's 800,000 per needle." Frant rubbed his hands and looked at Bane with a smile.

"Okay, including the injection you just said you would give me, that's three injections for 1.6 million pesos. Deal!" Bane immediately decided.

Frant was stunned for a moment, then quickly wailed, "What peso? I want the Imperial Silver Dollar!"

"Where can we get silver dollars in this damn place? Even if there are, do you think we can get so many silver dollars with stuff of our level?" Bane waved his hand and said like a rogue.

When talking about the peso and silver dollar, we have to mention the current situation.

On this continent today, there were once two powerful empires in the east and west, namely Sodexo in the west and Seris in the east.

Both empires can be said to have a long history and a thousand-year heritage, but more than three hundred years ago, a royal civil war broke out within the Sodexo Empire. The Seris Empire seized the opportunity and did a lot of things in it, causing the Sodexo civil war to last for two or three generations, more than sixty years.

Sixty years of bloodletting brought Sodexo's once strong national strength to the brink of collapse. Feeling that the time was right, the Seris Empire launched a full-scale war against the Sodexo Empire. This war lasted for more than twenty years, and Seris basically defeated Sodexo.

Nearly half of the Sodis Empire's territory was occupied, and the remaining area was divided into several so-called "kingdoms and principalities". From then on, there was only one empire on this continent.

That was the Seris Empire. In the following two hundred years, the empire slowed down its war against the west because it had to continue to digest these newly conquered territories. As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer but difficult to occupy. In order to digest these new territories, the empire paid a huge price and consumed a lot of national strength.

Originally twenty years ago, the Empire was preparing to restart a new round of war against the West and completely eliminate the remnants of Sodexo. However, the war had not been going on for long when portals leading to other worlds suddenly began to appear all over the world, causing chaos within the Empire. As a result, the Empire was forced to abandon this war in which it had the upper hand.

Since then, the mode of warfare has gradually shifted from the absolute dominance of the imperial military to a mode of cooperation with the civilian population, a mode currently known as the "Westward Movement."

That is, the empire encouraged civilian forces to spontaneously encroach on the West, seize land, resources, etc., and would give official titles and titles to those who performed well, and grant them legal territory and status.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a diversion of the large number of internal contradictions currently accumulated in the country, hoping to guide some ambitious and powerful people into this westward movement to cause trouble for those in the West.

Facts have proved that the westward movement has indeed achieved remarkable results. For example, the city of New Dal where Bane is now is the city occupied and built by the Empire during the westward movement over the past decade.

It is precisely because this is a weak point in the empire's control and a front-line area that the city of New Dal is so chaotic.

However, not long ago, another piece of land was conquered, which is estimated to become the new front line, and this place will also become a transit point for supply and logistics, and the order situation should be improved. But even though the westward movement has achieved good results, there have been many rebellions within the empire over the years, especially the rebellions in the western region that once belonged to the Sodis Empire, which are endless.

Three years ago, in the western region of the empire, a guy named Tornis appeared out of nowhere. He claimed to be a descendant of the noble Sodis. Because he controlled a certain portal, he started a blood rebellion, transformed many people in the country into vampires, and established the Empire of Eternal Night.

Although the Eternal Night Empire was a joke to everyone and was quickly defeated by the Empire, the remaining vampires have not been completely eliminated by the Empire so far, and they occasionally jump out to stir up trouble.

There are many examples like this.

Therefore, at the beginning, Bane felt that the situation of the empire was even worse than his, and it might collapse any day.

So the current situation can be roughly described as follows: the imperial military is suppressing rebellions everywhere, and various ambitious people are either rebelling or participating in the westward movement. The overall national situation cannot be said to be precarious, but it is also very unstable.

And this peso was the currency in circulation among the people in the westward movement area. Because the empire relaxed its controls, it was bound to be incomparable with the silver and gold coins issued by the empire.

After some discussion with Frontera, Bane finally succeeded in acquiring three RC cell potions for 2.6 million pesos.

Without selling the house, Bane's family fortune was emptied. In fact, even Front didn't expect that Bane would spend so much money to buy this potion.

After the deal was concluded, Bane asked again, "The westward movement has once again achieved success. I guess the environment in New Dar won't be so relaxed in the future. You are well-informed. Have you received any interesting intelligence recently?"

"Isn't intelligence free?" Frant habitually wanted to extort some more money.

However, he watched Benn holding the potion in his hand and gesturing, his eyes occasionally passing over his waist, and then he quickly smiled and said, "But with our relationship, talking about money will hurt feelings."

He was really afraid that Ben would give him an injection. Although the injection was very expensive, he felt that he was not worthy of it.

After looking around again and making sure no one was eavesdropping, Frant whispered, "There is a rumor. I overheard it when I was working for a real noble."

"What information?" Bane asked involuntarily in a low voice.

"I don't know whether it's true or not, but I heard in the imperial capital that the Dragon Emperor has finally lost his patience with the endless rebellions in our west, and is sending the Dragon Guards to completely wipe out these chaotic rebels in the west. This is completely different from the intensity of the rebellions suppressed by those local armies before. The whole world knows what a ruthless person the Dragon Emperor is. He is the iron-blooded emperor who truly slaughtered an entire alien world." Frant said terrified.

Bane fell silent after hearing this. After a moment, Frant continued, "So the situation in New Dal City is probably worse than you expected. The Dragon Guards may have swept through this place while suppressing the rebellion."

After saying this, Frant said with some regret: "I only told you this news. I guess we won't meet for a long time."

"Are you leaving?" Bane raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, otherwise why would I sell all the goods in my hand? Isn't it to quickly recover the funds and run away? When things are more peaceful here, maybe I will have a chance to come back and take a look," Frant nodded and admitted.

Ben smacked his lips, and then said, "Actually, I'm also planning to run away. The waters here in the Empire are too deep. I'd better find a place to grow up first."

"You're leaving too?" Frant's eyes lit up as he asked, "Where to? Do you want us to go together?"

"You can't go where I want to go, so let's go our separate ways. We'll meet again if we're lucky." Bane shook his head and rejected Front's proposal.

Given his friendship with Frant, it wasn't even worth 2.6 million pesos, let alone entrusting him with a secret.

That's right, Bane plans to go to the world of pirates to avoid the limelight and develop himself at the same time.
