From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 240: Bane: Keep the music going, keep the dance!
As soon as he walked out of Pongal Castle, Ben heard a burst of cursing noise coming from the street in the distance.

He looked over there and then frowned.

Celestial Dragons.

Recently, because Bane has been on Marijoa, he has inevitably met some Celestial Dragons and witnessed some tragic situations with his own eyes.

Even in Marijoa, when these Celestial Dragons go out, they are accompanied by a large group of people, and are protected by many guards and members of the CP agency. They also have to carry a large number of followers to meet their various needs at any time.

The most conspicuous are undoubtedly the miserable slaves.

It is undeniable that some of them were pirates who were captured and made slaves, but most of them were ordinary people.

Most people on Marijoa still need to kneel and bow their heads to show respect when they see the Celestial Dragons.

However, as an admiral of the navy, Bane does not need to do such a thing. As I said before, with their status and position, the Five Elders did not ask them to kneel down and obey, and to give them a certain degree of respect. How could ordinary Celestial Dragons force the admirals of the navy to kneel down and obey?

But even so, Bane didn't want to meet the Celestial Dragons. It was too troublesome. He was afraid that he might not be able to control his emotions and kill these bastards, and then things would be difficult to clean up.

Therefore, Bane stopped and did not move forward.

At the same time, his attention was also focused on the slave who was being ridden by a certain celestial dragon.

Bartholomew Bear!
The last time I saw this guy was during the war at the former Marine Headquarters, Marineford. At that time, Bartholomew Kuma should have still had a certain degree of self-awareness.

Now, it was clear that he had been completely transformed.

The celestial dragon rode on its back like a mount, moving forward on its knees. It looked tattered, with many scars on its body, so that many parts were exposed in the air.

"It's really unpleasant that the kindest people are treated the most cruelly," Bane whispered with a flash of disgust in his eyes.

At the same time, as a strong man, he felt a little annoyed when he saw that Bartholomew Kuma, who was also very powerful, was insulted by a useless Celestial Dragon.

Sometimes, he had to agree with Kaido's ideas.

Violence is indeed fair.

Seeing Bartholomew Bear carrying the dragon man towards the gate of the God's Residence, Bane gradually withdrew his gaze. However, just as he was about to step out of the alley, he suddenly heard a strange voice in his ears.

"Your eyes are very similar to mine back then."

Bane stopped and looked towards the roof. He said in a somewhat strange tone, "It's very difficult for me to do anything when you appear before me so openly like this, Dorag."

To be honest, Bane was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of this guy Dorag in Mary Geoise. What was even more difficult for him to understand was that this guy actually appeared in front of him so openly and even talked to him.

You are a traitor, okay? I am a loyal subject of the world government!
It can be said that the two have never met before, but at this moment, the conversation seems not unfamiliar.

"Sorry." Dorag withdrew his gaze from Bartholomew Bear's back and looked at Bane, saying apologetically, "I didn't mean to disturb you, but after noticing your look and thinking about the things in the new world, I suddenly realized that maybe there is a possibility for us to communicate?"

"What happened in the new world?" Bane looked at Dragon and asked.

"Your G-6 Navy has collected a large number of refugees in Melview." After explaining, Drago continued, "In fact, our Revolutionary Army has been doing the same thing recently."

"I have heard of it." Bane nodded and did not continue the topic. He asked, "As an enemy of the World Government, why are you here during the World Conference?"

"I'm here to declare war." Drago did not try to hide his intentions and said frankly, "During this World Conference, I will represent the Revolutionary Army and formally declare war on the Celestial Dragons."

"That's big news," Bane said, before adding, "So you want me to kill you right here, right now?"

"I heard that you have a very good relationship with my father, so could you please spare me this time for his sake?" Dorag said with a smile as he sat on the eaves.

"If Mr. Cap saw you, he would have probably done it by now," Bane said, pulling a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it.

There was a hint of reminiscence in Dorag's eyes. After a moment, he said, "You're right. Last time in the East China Sea, he almost beat me up." Without waiting for Ben to speak, Dorag quickly asked, "What do you think of Mary Joa?"

"If you don't disappear from my sight within ten seconds, I will kill you." Bane didn't respond. He exhaled a puff of smoke and his eyes suddenly became much gloomier.

Dorag looked at Bane with a somewhat helpless expression, but he didn't say anything else in the end. Soon, he stood up and disappeared on the roof.

Ben didn't chase after him. He raised his hand and scratched his ear, looking a little annoyed and said, "It's really a troubled time. One by one, all of them popped up."

He didn't care about Dragon's appearance in Mary Geoise. As for the guy suddenly talking to him, Bane didn't take it to heart. He just wanted to test his attitude. Maybe he noticed something somewhere, but it didn't matter. It wouldn't affect anything.

Bane was actually not surprised that the Revolutionary Army would appear in Marijoa. He had considered this situation before. They came here on the one hand to prepare to formally declare war on the Celestial Dragons, and on the other hand to rescue Bartholomew Kuma.

Neither of these two things affected Bane's plans and interests, and there were even some positive feedbacks. He had no reason to stop them.

On the other side, Dragon returned to the underground space of Marijoa, which was "pushed" out by the revolutionary army's giant demon Mori using his ability.

"What are you crazy about? Drago!" Ivankov looked at Drago angrily and said, "The battle hasn't even started yet, and you've exposed yourself to the admiral. What are you thinking?"

"Don't be so anxious, Eva, I'm just confirming one thing." Dorag touched his chin and said, "It doesn't matter if it's exposed earlier or later, because I have already determined the location of Mr. Bear, so don't worry."

Ivankov frowned and asked in confusion: "What are you sure of?"

"That's the attitude of a navy admiral." Drago grinned and said, "Just now, I was actually ready to launch an operation to rescue Mr. Bear in advance, but that Bane didn't attack me directly. Although he also didn't intend to communicate with me, this is enough to prove one thing. He is not loyal to the World Government. Don't you think this is interesting?"

At this point, Dorag smiled to himself and said, "You are indeed Koshiro's disciple."

This time, Dragon came to Marijoa with some elite troops of the Revolutionary Army to cause trouble. They could declare war at any time, so as long as they confirmed that Bartholomew Kuma was in Marijoa, and even knew that he was currently in the Abode of God, there was no need to hide anything anymore and they could act at any time. Therefore, in this situation, Dragon took the risk of showing up to test Bane's attitude.

Even if Bane had attacked him directly just now, it was nothing more than advancing the plan.

Bane quickly arrived at the navy banquet hall. As soon as he walked in, he saw that the hall, which should have been very lively, was very quiet at this moment. Many naval generals were holding newspapers, reading and discussing something with each other.

"What happened? Why don't you continue playing music or dancing?" Bane asked curiously.

After hearing his voice, Ain quickly looked over here and said, "General, the latest news is that the Germa Kingdom in the North Sea has completely moved to the New World and joined the system of Totland World. Vinsmoke Judge, one of the original members of the King's family, has married Charlotte Linlin, and his son Vinsmoke Yongzhi has married Brin of the Charlotte family!"

"The newspaper said that the Germa Kingdom publicly announced its withdrawal from the World Government's member state system. At a time when the World Conference is about to be held, such a thing would probably bring shame to Marijoa, right?" Nami also said casually.

"Did something so interesting happen?" Bane smiled and said, "The Vinsmoke clan is so gambling-minded? At this juncture, they chose to join Big Mom."

“For many years, the Vinsmoke clan has been seeking to rebuild their kingdom in the North Sea. However, the World Government has been denying their needs in consideration of their past atrocities and the already chaotic situation in the North Sea. I guess that fellow Judge also saw no hope here, so he made such a choice.” Chief of Staff Ahe sighed softly.

Speaking of Germa, they may be far behind the Four Emperors, but they were once glorious and even dominated the entire North Sea at one point, becoming the overlord of the North Sea.

The World Government certainly didn't want such existence to appear in the four seas, so it interfered with Germa's ambition to unify the North Sea, which ultimately led to their failure. They even lost their fixed national territory and could only rely on war houses and wander on the sea.

The Vinsmoke people have always hoped to regain their homeland, but considering their previous deeds, the world government has not agreed.

"So the Vinsmoke clan is thinking of helping Kaido and Charlotte Linlin defeat our navy, thereby further intimidating the world government, or even overthrowing the world government, and ultimately achieving their own ambitions? Aren't they too whimsical?" Bane couldn't help but complain.

"It's all reasonable for crazy people to do crazy things. But considering that Germa is very experienced in war and has mastered many high-end technologies, their joining the Pirate Alliance can indeed greatly improve the opponent's strength in a short period of time. Tsk," Garp said with a frown and some dissatisfaction.

The strength of Germa itself is not that great. A group of clone soldiers plus Judge's sons and daughters are just average.

But if it is combined with the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, it will be different.

As we all know, the combat level of pirates is completely inferior to that of the navy. War can also be regarded as an art. The navy is the big guy here, and the pirates are a group of rabble. But Germa is a very famous warmongerer. Their combat level is quite high. If they are the ones to command the pirates to fight, it will undoubtedly improve the strength of the pirates.

"But no matter how to say it, we are stronger in every aspect, and the advantage lies with me. So there is no need to worry about what has already happened. We can just deal with it all at once when the time comes. Okay, don't let such trivial matters disturb everyone's interest. Come on, continue playing the music and dancing!" Bane didn't care too much about these things and said with a wave of his hand.
