From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 230 Sakaski: You said you don’t hit women, so how did Monet die?

After that, Sakaski and Bane discussed how to have a decisive battle with the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

But because it was too hasty and the situation changed too quickly, the two of them didn't really discuss anything substantive.

"I already know your thoughts and opinions. I will discuss them with the Chief of Staff later to see if the Intelligence Staff has any good ideas." Sakaski said.

"Well, the generals in our headquarters also need to contribute." Bane nodded.

After finishing talking about this matter, Sakaski suddenly asked: "What day is today?"

"January 12th," Ben replied casually.

"Yeah. Before I knew it, it's already 1522. Time flies so fast." Sakaski touched his chin and sighed.

"I think time goes by quite slowly, hahahaha." Bane said with a laugh.

Sakaski couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. "Judging from your experience, it seems like you've been through several decades."

Bane only joined the navy in the mid-to-late 1520s, so not too much time has passed since then. However, he caused too much trouble, and many big pirates fell into his hands. It is no wonder that Sakaski said this.

Before Bane could respond, Sakaski continued, "There is another important event this year. I'm afraid our decisive battle against the New World will have to wait until after this."

"World Conference?" Bane thought for a moment and then said as if he had thought of something.

"Yes, the World Conference." Sakaski nodded and said, "This is also the first World Conference since I became the Marshal. The Navy and I still need to make proper preparations. In addition, Yixiao should have told you that he plans to propose the complete abolition of the Shichibukai system at this conference."

"Well, didn't we discuss this before?" Bane responded.

"Based on the current situation, I think Yixiao's proposal is almost impossible to be rejected." Sakaski said with some anticipation.

What are the Seven Warlords of the Sea used for?

After the Great Pirate Era began, the World Government believed that the navy was unable to stop the tide of this era and that pirate forces were too rampant, so they introduced the Seven Warlords of the Sea Act, intending to use this method to "get a piece of the pie" in the tide of the Great Pirate Era and absorb some powerful pirates into the World Government system in the form of amnesty.

It is a means to balance the division of power in the ocean and weaken the pirate camp.

No matter whether the Seven Warlords of the Sea are ultimately unworthy of the title of one of the 'three major forces' compared to the Four Emperors and the Marine Headquarters, at least in the past twenty years, it is true that they have been generally regarded as one of the three major forces on the sea.

However, the balance on the sea has now been broken. Especially at this moment, the sudden defeat of the Red Hair Pirates can be said to have played a decisive role.

The navy has gained complete advantages and the upper hand. Two of the Four Emperors are gone, and from 1520 to now, the Seven Warlords of the Sea have never been completed.

Jinbe is still in jail, Crocodile and Doflamingo have gone to the underworld as brothers in distress, Bartholomew Kuma has been basically completely transformed, and among all the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the only ones who still look a bit human are Moriah, Mihawk and Hancock.

Among them, Moria is a waste. Therefore, from this perspective, among the three major forces, the weakest is the Seven Warlords of the Sea. To the world government and the navy, they have basically lost the meaning of their existence.

In this case, once Yixiao proposed the proposal to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea Act at the World Conference, it could be said that there was no possibility of it being rejected from any angle or aspect.

Anyone with a discerning eye could have seen that the Seven Warlords of the Sea were like grasshoppers in autumn and would not be able to jump for many more days.

"Let me make it clear that even if the Seven Warlords of the Sea are abolished, I must not be sent to attack the Nine Snakes Pirates." Bane said immediately.

Sakaski was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Why? I was thinking that after the World Conference is over, the matter of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will be settled, and you three generals will each be responsible for solving one problem."

"It's no problem to solve one. Just leave Moria to me and I'll get it done for you in minutes." Bane said without hesitation.

"Moria is hidden deep in the Devil's Triangle, which is not too far from Marinford. I was thinking of letting Borsalino be in charge," Sakaski said after thinking for a while.

"Then it's not impossible for me to be in charge of Mihawk." Bane thought about it and took a step back.

"Mihawk is not a user of special abilities, so you are at a disadvantage when using the Dark-Dark Fruit against him. If you use the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit against Hancock, you can gain some power from the fruit, right?" Sakaski said again.

"According to the division of responsibilities, the Nine Snakes Island is also within the Calm Belt in the first half of the Grand Line, and belongs to Borsalino's garrison area. I think he is more suitable. Moria is also a capable person. I can still harvest a devil fruit if I go to trouble him." Bane refused again. "Your behavior is strange." Sakaski looked at Bane puzzled and asked, "Why are you unwilling to deal with Boa Hancock?"

"Because I'm afraid I'll fail and lose." Seeing that Sakaski insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter, Bane admitted it helplessly.

Sakaski? ? ?

Sakaski looked at Bane with surprise and said, "You even dare to fight Kaido. How could you have such an idea? Do you think Hancock is stronger than Kaido?"

You know, Kaido is recognized as the strongest creature in existence and the number one in single combat. Although Bane has had a tie with him in actual combat, he was unable to defeat Kaido, so he cannot take away the title of the strongest being from Kaido.

"To be honest, I have almost no resistance to beauty. Boa Hancock is known as the most beautiful woman in the world. I have seen her photos. As an honest man, I must admit that even in photos, I admire her very much. There is absolutely no way I can ignore that beauty. So under this premise, her ability of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit has the potential to kill me instantly, and I am a soft-hearted person and I don't hit women." Bane explained.

After hearing this, Sakaski immediately said, "How dare you say such a thing? The last time I read the action report, I found that you had attacked the Don Quixote family cadres on Punk Hazard, the abandoned island where Kuzan and I fought. There was a woman named Monet, who was also very beautiful. As a result, you blew her head off without saying a word, and took away her Snow Snow Fruit ability. Now you tell me that you don't hit women?"

"I don't hit pretty women, is that okay?" Bane retorted.

"Didn't I just say that the woman named Monet in the photo is also very beautiful?" Sakaski asked.

"I'm face-blind and can't tell whether she's pretty or not." Bane said calmly.

Sakaski? ? ?

"You are face-blind and you still care about this? What about Hancock?" Sakaski continued.

"Don't you understand? Boa Hancock is so beautiful that even someone like me who is face-blind can't resist her charm. So I won't go. If you want to go, go by yourself!" Bane said shamelessly.

After a brief pause, Ban continued, "Of course, if possible, it would be best to capture her alive. I will then interrogate her in person. You know, the Sweet-Sweet Fruit must be very powerful, and I can maximize its value."

At this point, Ban added: "Don't worry, I'm definitely not going after her, I'm going after her fruit ability, you understand?"

"You're not going, but you're asking for more." Sakaski couldn't help but complain.

For some reason, although their previous exchanges were relatively close and friendly, when Bane revealed that he could never resist Hancock's beauty and was determined to cheat rather than go to attack the Nine Snake Island, Sakaski felt that the relationship between him and Bane had become much closer.

Seeing that Bane was refusing to go to Nine Snake Island, Sakaski was helpless and shook his head, "If that's the case, forget it. You will be responsible for dealing with Moria. If it's Yixiao, try Mihawk. As for Boa Hancock, whom you are trying to avoid, let Borsalino go."

"That's right. I can even work together with Yixiao. After all, Moria is not a powerful character. After getting rid of him, it will be no problem for us to go together to find trouble with Mihawk." Bane said happily.

"You would rather face the world's greatest swordsman than the world's most beautiful woman. I don't know how to evaluate you." Sakaski shook his head with emotion.

When Sakaski came to his senses, he realized that Bane had led him off topic.

He quickly turned back to the topic and said, "Continuing with what I just said about the World Conference, I have already asked Borsalino, and he has nothing to propose. So, among the three admirals, you and I are the only ones left to ask. Do you have any proposals for this World Conference that require the full support of our navy?"

Bane didn't even think about it. He shook his head and said, "No, by the way, can I take a leave for the World Conference? I have no interest in this at all. Can I not go?"

"Ah?" Sakaski was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, the World Conference is the highest conference of the world government. Its authority is even higher than those five. It is held every four years. Unless there is an extremely special reason, you cannot be absent."

What Sakaski said was correct. Although the Five Elders were called the 'supreme authority', that was only an evaluation of their personal status.

In fact, from a legal point of view, the World Conference is the highest authority of the world government. However, that is only a legal principle. It is somewhat ironic to let a group of ordinary kings lead such a supreme conference.

"Okay then." Bane didn't continue to argue with Sakaski about this matter, and promised: "I will attend the meeting on time, but I don't have anything to propose."

What a proposal! In Bane's opinion, what cannot be obtained with fists cannot be obtained at the negotiation table.

World Conference, haha, once he plows Marijoa flat, there will be no need to hold such meaningless meetings, and he can get everything he wants here.
