From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 229 The time for a decisive battle has arrived, and the era of the great navy has begun! ?
After parting with Yixiao, Bane quickly arrived at the door of the Marshal's office.

Before I even knocked on the door, Sakaski seemed to have been waiting for me. He opened the door and said with a bright smile on his face, "You're here, Ben."

To be honest, Bane and Sakaski have known each other for quite some time, but it was the first time he saw Sakaski smile so brightly. In the past, when he smiled, his smile always gave people a very stiff feeling, and it was worse than not smiling at all.

"When you were promoted to marshal, I never saw you smile so happily." Seeing this, Bane couldn't help but teased.

Sakaski laughed twice when he heard that, and as he walked into the house with Bane, he said, "How can that compare to eradicating the Red Hair Pirates?"

It was a simple sentence, but it also revealed that Sakaski's heart was indeed pure. Perhaps he tried his best to become the admiral of the navy, just hoping to be able to more effectively implement his own justice and annihilate those pirates.

The joy of being a marshal was not as great as the happiness of annihilating the Red Hair Pirates.

It was this sentence that changed Bane's impression of Sakaski again.

In fact, compared to Kuzan, Bane doesn't particularly like Sakaski. His cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness make him seem too indifferent. Even Bane can imagine that if one day, he and a great pirate who poses a great threat are trapped in a difficult situation, in this case, either they both escape together, or they both die together. If Sakaski makes the decision, then Bane will definitely have no way to survive.

But in the end, Sakaski will give him a funeral with great honors.

At the same time, Bane was fully aware that Sakaski was not a double-standard person who was lenient with himself and strict with others. If he were in that predicament, Sakaski would probably not leave himself a way out either.

He can also die bravely!
This kind of person is not only cruel to others, but also to himself!
Because of this, Bane's impression of Sakaski is that he is cold, cruel, ruthless and brutal. After all, people like Sakaski, unless they are as cruel as him as Ghost Spider, can fully understand his style. Otherwise, even if you have some admiration for him, it can only reach this level. Who knows if he will suddenly have a brain spasm and sacrifice you one day?

But today, looking at Sakaski's brilliant smile and the words he said casually, Bane suddenly felt that he still had too stereotyped an impression of him.

Even Sakaski cannot be simply described as cold and heartless.

Some people like to use the phrase "those who achieve great things do not care about small details" to describe Sakaski's ruthlessness.

But now that Ben thinks about it, maybe he doesn't want to achieve great things. He just simply thinks, why not cry together instead of one family crying?
For this reason, he would rather sacrifice himself, or even force a small number of people to sacrifice, in order to preserve the peace of the vast majority of people and prevent more people from crying.

"It's hard to judge." Ben heard this and suddenly blurted out this sentence as he walked into the room.

Sakaski didn't seem to understand what he was talking about. He looked at him puzzledly and asked, "What?"

"Nothing, I just feel that seeing your bright smile is worth the trip." Bane laughed and made an excuse.

Sakaski had thought about establishing friendship with Bane before, and had taken action, but for various reasons, and the fact that Bane didn't hang out in the headquarters, their friendship was not actually very deep. But today, Sakaski gave Bane enough face, invited Bane to sit down, and even made tea for him personally.

Bane was not an ungrateful person, so he naturally gave Sakaski some very positive feedback.

If the reporters from the News of the World saw this, they would definitely believe what Sakaski said in the newspaper, that he and Bane were "best friends"!

As an admiral of the navy, there is no room for Bane to advance now, unless Sakaski suddenly dies on the spot, or suddenly has a brain spasm and retires and resigns.

Therefore, even such a great achievement as the elimination of the Red Hair Pirates was, in the end, nothing more than a medal in his hand.

Playing with the medal, Ben said with a smile: "I thought I was just going to listen to a concert, but I didn't expect to get a medal of honor."

Speaking of this thing, Zhan Guo really likes it. When he was a marshal, he wore his white suit and his chest was covered with various medals wherever he went, as if he was afraid that others didn't know about his outstanding achievements.

"This is what you deserve." Sakaski took a sip of tea, then threw a few documents on the coffee table in front of Ben and said, "Although you may not be promoted, I have taken care of your subordinates."

Ben raised his eyebrows when he heard this, reached out and picked up the document, opened it and began to read it, then smiled brightly and said, "Then I would like to thank you, Marshal, on their behalf."

Sakaski is a good leader. He is a marshal who does not make empty promises. He is willing to give you benefits.

Now Bane thinks that it is actually quite good to have such a pure person as the marshal!

The documents here are about the promotion permits for several of Bane's trusted subordinates.

In fact, as an admiral of the navy, Bane could also use his authority to promote his subordinates, but wouldn't it be better if the marshal signed it?

Just like now, Sakaski personally signed the marshal's order and issued personnel transfers.

Rear Admiral Roronoa Zoro of the Marine Headquarters will be promoted to Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters effective immediately.

Rear Admiral Fubuki of the Navy Headquarters was promoted to Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters with immediate effect. Commodore Weber of the Navy Headquarters was promoted to Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters with immediate effect.

Nami, the captain of the Marine Headquarters, will be promoted to Commodore of the Marine Headquarters effective immediately.

Bane's admiral assistant, Major General Ian, was promoted to Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters effective immediately.

"I also know that you have been recruiting young naval commanders to form a new generation of naval faction. People like Smoker, Dor and others have accepted your invitation, right?" Sakaski suddenly asked.

"Yes, that's what happened." Bane had no intention of hiding it and admitted it directly.

After all, this is not something shameful. Which general doesn't have his own direct subordinates?

"I didn't change the promotions of those people. Although some of them don't have enough merits and their qualifications are still lacking, but since you chose them, I certainly don't have any objections. I will ask the Human Resources Department to cooperate with your orders later." Sakaski said with a smile.

It didn't matter that Sakaski promoted Bane's close associates on his own initiative, because these people were Bane's die-hard fans, and Sakaski had no other intentions. Bane absolutely understood that this was all out of his good intentions.

But for those generals who had just chosen to follow Bane, it would be difficult for Sakaski to take over the reins, as that might cause some misunderstandings. However, Sakaski was really considerate and directly told Bane to give a heads-up to the Human Resources Department.

Even if he didn't say hello, with his identity as General Bane, he would have no pressure at all, but his attitude was indeed well-intentioned!

In other words, as long as Bane doesn't go too far and promote some young people like colonel to lieutenant general in one go, Sakaski is willing to endorse these transfers as a marshal.

"You're very kind," Ben said quickly.

Given Sakaski's personality, this was already his limit, so the lively atmosphere soon died down, and the topic of their conversation shifted from these trivial matters to more important things.

"The incident with the Red Hair Pirates was indeed a bit sudden, so much so that our headquarters was not prepared at all. All the plans that had been discussed were suddenly disrupted." Sakaski said softly.

That was indeed the case. Before Bane went to G-6 from the Marine Headquarters, they were still discussing how to use Beehive Island to break the situation with the Four Emperors. After annihilating Wang Zhi, they would look for opportunities to take action against the Four Emperors-level pirate groups. But the result was unexpected.

If the Red Hair Pirates were suddenly eliminated, many of the original strategic deployments would inevitably become meaningless.

"That's true, but isn't this a more favorable situation for us?" Bane had already heard the implication of Sakaski's words, smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it is indeed a more favorable situation. The potential threats that were originally on the side are suddenly gone. Now the Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates are right in front of us. The opportunity for a decisive battle that we thought would take a long time to plan for has already appeared." Sakaski said with a slightly excited tone.

Why did the headquarters always have so many concerns about the Four Emperors before? After repeated consideration, it could not easily start a war with them.

The reason is that the situation is not clear enough, and it is not appropriate to attack anyone. Everyone is worried that others will take advantage of the situation, or even interfere and cause the navy to suffer a great loss.

Just like if you want to take action against the Big Mom Pirates, you have to consider whether the Beasts Pirates will take action as a result, and whether they will join forces?

This is actually easy to say. Even if they form a pirate alliance, for the navy, it will only mean a sudden increase in pressure on the front battlefield. But based on hard power, it is not unacceptable.

But the fear is that assassins like the Red Hair Pirates, who you can't find any trace of at all, will suddenly strike you hard at the critical moment after the war begins, causing the navy to fail or even cause irreparable losses.

Now, the Red Hair Pirates are suddenly gone, and the situation has suddenly changed.

The power of the Navy in eradicating the Red Hair Pirates is enough to intimidate the third-rate pirates in the New World during this period of time. Among those stronger silver medalists, Shiki and Wang Zhi, who are the most representative and influential, have already been defeated.

This also prevents these silver medal players from posing an effective threat to the navy.

At this moment, the situation in the entire New World has become completely clear, that is, the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates are right in front of them, and there are no other unnecessary obstacles.

In this case, the Navy doesn't have to worry about so many bullshit. Even if the two companies work together, it doesn't matter. It can even be said that at this point, as long as Charlotte Linlin and Kaido are not mortal enemies who are hostile to each other and want to kill each other, they must have begun to seek cooperation!
The navy's troops are already at their doorsteps. At the same time, none of them can fight against the entire navy headquarters on their own. What else can they do if they don't cooperate?
While Bane is having a meeting with Sakaski here, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin might also be sitting together drinking!

In a short period of time, it is impossible for the navy to stop their alliance in such a hurry. Even if given enough time, it is unlikely to do so. The alliance between the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates has vaguely become a trend.

So for Admiral Sakaski, for Bane, and for the navy as a whole, isn't the decisive battle right before their eyes?
The next step is to defeat them fairly and squarely in this ancient battlefield of the New World with the navy's winning momentum. Apart from that, there is no need to make any extra considerations!

After this battle, the pirate forces will not pose much of a threat for at least twenty years.

This is the era of the great navy!
