From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 71: Superman has never been able to defeat 'money power'.

In addition to the doctor from the House of Evolution, there are many cutting-edge scientists here, especially top talents in the fields of mechanical transformation.

But if you think about it carefully, these people are very mysterious and it is difficult to find them, let alone get their help.

Only the House of Evolution has some relatively clear clues. It seems that a scientific research base has been built in a desolate place around City Z. There are also some powerful weirdos in it, such as the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle who is very good at courting death.

Considering that the House of Evolution would most likely be destroyed by Saitama in no time, Bane felt that he should find them first and then borrow their power to see if it could have some beneficial effect on himself.

If he wants to find them, Bane has thought of two ways. First, he can search little by little around City Z, using his observation Haki to sweep them out like a minesweeper.

But this method is undoubtedly time-consuming. What if the House of Evolution is destroyed by Saitama before Bane finds that doctor? That would be very embarrassing. The doctor would just switch to selling takoyaki, and a lot of valuable scientific research equipment would be destroyed, and the secret base would be gone. Even if we really find the doctor, it would be impossible for him to create black technology with his bare hands, right?
They also have to rebuild a cutting-edge scientific research base, which will take even more time. Bane also has to go back to the pirate world to stir up trouble, and he also has to absorb enough "nutrients" in this world to strengthen himself. How can he have so much time to waste here?
It would be rather troublesome or even impossible to find the doctor through conventional means, because the doctor himself is hiding himself. With his technical means, it would be too easy for him to "disappear" in the vast crowd. The official might not be able to find him, let alone an outsider like Bane who has no foundation, so it is even more impossible to find him through conventional means.

If you think about it carefully, there is only one other option left for Bane, which is to find Saitama first, and then follow him and follow the development of the original story. After dealing with the Mosquito Girl, the people from the House of Evolution will come over, and then Bane will just follow them and be done with it.

At the same time, now that we have come to this world, wouldn’t it be a pity if we don’t see the real ‘One Punch Man’?

Moreover, establishing a certain good relationship with Saitama, the most powerful man in this world, can also be considered as a safety net for oneself. If you really encounter any troubles that cannot be solved, you will have someone to rely on.

Finally, Bane is also very interested in Saitama, the superman who broke the limiter. Although he feels that his path is probably impossible to replicate and follow, it is still very beneficial to meet such a top-level strong man.

What's more, Saitama himself is not a violent person. He can even be said to be very kind and easy to communicate with. He is not very dangerous.

After thinking for a while, Ben stood on the side of the street, looked at a billboard not far away, and said with a smile: "Let's go find someone first, and then go here to study?"

Zoro followed Bane's gaze and naturally noticed the billboard, then asked, "What does it say?"

That’s right, Zoro has become illiterate. Although he can quickly master the language communication here, he is completely clueless when it comes to writing!
"The Stream Rock Crushing Fist Dojo is the territory of the third S-class hero, Silver Fang. It says on the sign that his dojo is recruiting students." Bane explained.

"Water Rock Crushing Fist?" Zoro pondered for a moment and said, "You want to learn boxing? Fighting skills?"

"That's about right. After all, I still have big flaws and shortcomings in this area." Bane nodded.

"You might as well concentrate on kendo. Although you are not as talented as me in this area, as long as you work hard, you will definitely achieve something and gain something." Zoro teased with a smile.

It's obvious that Bane is the kind of person who has learned a lot of different things, but is not very good at any of them. In terms of physical skills, he has six styles, and later on he also learned kendo. He also has fruit abilities, but he doesn't have any particularly outstanding strengths. Putting all these together, he seems very "mediocre".

"Although I am also interested in kendo, it's just an interest. But when it comes to physical skills, I care a lot, especially with my physical fitness. Don't you think I should pay attention to physical skills?" Bane retorted.

Zoro was simply unable to refute Bane's point of view. After all, this guy's physical fitness was too abnormal. His boxing skills and street-fighting-level fighting skills, combined with his physical fitness, were already strong enough. If he really achieved something in this area, it would be really terrifying. It would also be the most efficient way to transform his physical fitness advantage into strength.

Without arguing with Ban about this topic, Zoro quickly asked again: "What is the level of swordsmanship in this world? Are there any masters worth visiting?"

"The path of swordsmanship requires learning from many masters. Think about how Mihawk, before he became the number one swordsman, caused a bloody storm on the sea, challenged various swordsmen in various seas, and even forcibly attacked several swordsmen in the navy. He was once called the 'Navy Hunter'. No matter how strong or weak the swordsmen in this world are, it's always a good idea for you to pay them a visit." Bane responded immediately.

"That makes sense. After we settle down, I will also go look for the powerful swordsman here. I just heard someone say that there is a powerful swordsman called Atomic Samurai in this Hero Association?" Zoro thought for a while and said.

"Well, let's try to join this Hero Association and get in touch with these powerful people." Bane nodded. He didn't have the idea of slaying demons and contributing to the cause of justice, but joining this Hero Association was indeed a great way to build relationships with various powerful people.

It is not easy to find the doctor of the House of Evolution, but it is very easy to find Saitama, this weirdo. In the whole Z city, there is only one uninhabited area, where weirdos appear frequently and troubles happen every few days. As a result, people there moved away one after another, gradually forming an uninhabited area in the city. Saitama was so poor that he had to pick up garbage to eat. In addition, he was very powerful and had no rivals. For him, the uninhabited area was like heaven, with complete facilities such as water and electricity. But since no one dared to ask for money there, he saved these expenses together with the rent, so the guy lived there.

The area where Bane and Sauron were at this time was not far from the no-man's land. The two chatted about their views and thoughts about this world along the way and soon arrived nearby.

The closer you get to there, the fewer residents there are. Once you really walk into this no-man's land, you can't see a single person.

"The person you are looking for lives here?" Zoro asked with some confusion as he looked at the dilapidated environment and buildings around him.

"Well, after all, that guy is a poor guy." Bane smiled.

Although the no-man's land is not small, it is not particularly large either. Even if Bane's observation Haki is not that powerful, it can still cover it completely.

After a careful search and perception, he found that there were indeed some strange people here. Then Bane immediately noticed that in a building in a community in the uninhabited area, there was a person going upstairs. It was Saitama!
At the same time, in the corridor, Saitama looked around with some confusion. For some reason, he felt some strange breath for a moment.

Although Saitama possesses invincible strength, his perception is actually very ordinary. For example, he is often followed by people who are far less powerful than him, and has been spied on remotely by Genos many times. Later, when he went to fight the Underground Monster Association, he got lost and all kinds of outrageous things happened.

So when Bane discovered him at this moment, he just instinctively noticed something strange, but he didn't realize that Bane was spying on him.

"Is it an illusion?" Saitama scratched his bald head, without thinking much, and quickly went upstairs, opened the door and went home.

He lives in this haunted place, and this kind of sudden strange feeling has happened more than once or twice, so there is no need to make a fuss. After all, some weird people pop up in this haunted place every day.

Saitama put some discounted cheap ingredients bought from the supermarket into the refrigerator and was about to watch TV when the doorbell suddenly rang.

This time he was really surprised, because he had lived here for a long time and almost forgot when was the last time someone knocked on the door.

"Coming." Saitama responded, then got up and opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Bane and Sauron standing outside. A puzzled look appeared on his already careless face as he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"We're looking for you. We two brothers are from other places and have nowhere to stay. There's no one nearby. We happened to see you downstairs, so we want to stay here for a few days. Please give us a favor." Ben said with a smile.

Saitama???

Is this person sick?
He was about to refuse, but before he could say anything, Ben took out a large bundle of cash and said, "Of course, we're not staying here for free."

The moment he saw the cash, Saitama's face lit up with enthusiasm, and he greeted them happily, "Stay, stay wherever you want, as long as you want. To be honest, I've lived here for a long time, and I'm very familiar with the surroundings. I can definitely help you integrate into this new environment!"

As expected, Superman has never been able to defeat "money power", my grandfather never lied to me!
