From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 255: Bane: How can I refuse my partner’s request?
Left Sakaski's office and walked out of the headquarters building.

Bane looked at Borsalino, who was about to go to the port to wait for Saint Satan to go to Aighead together, and said after a moment: "If you need any help, feel free to contact me. Anyway, we are in the New World, and I will go to support you."

"Maybe we will need them." Borsalino said helplessly, "The Science Corps still has a group of Seraphim, each of them is incredibly powerful. Although I and Saint Satan have higher authority, how can we say it? Maybe Dr. Vegapunk has already changed them."

Ben thought, if he didn't change, he would be a fool.

But on second thought, there is a traitor among Vegapunk's clones, so it's hard to say what the matter is.

While Ben was thinking about this, Borsalino said, "Didn't Sakaski also ask you to go to the front? Why don't you go together? It's a little more convenient."

"Don't worry. I have an appointment with Mr. Cap. Let me take care of the affairs of the headquarters before setting off." Bane waved his hand and refused.

"Okay then. I'll be leaving first." Borsalino said goodbye to Bane in a casual manner without any further delay and headed towards the naval port.

Looking at his back, Bane felt inexplicably lonely. Is Borsalino Marijoa's lackey?

From the contact over the past two years, Bane felt that he was not. Compared with Sakaski and Kuzan, Borsalino was a naval admiral who was easy to understand. He did not have any higher pursuits, nor did he talk about his own justice all day long. Bane had never even seen how he enforced his own justice.

He is just a guy who likes to be lazy. He has the mentality of a worker. He works a day and gets a day's salary. He looks like a veteran on weekdays.

But even such a naval admiral who could be said to be indifferent to the world was inevitably involved in this vortex in the end, and even had to personally eliminate his best friend.

I guess at this moment Borsalino was far from being as carefree as he appeared to be, and he must have felt painful and complicated inside.

"It's not easy for adults, even for high-ranking admirals, it's the same." Bane sighed lightly, and without thinking any more, he turned and walked towards the living area.

After walking through the streets that separated the living area from the military area, Bane said to Ian who was following behind him, "The Den Den Mushi is with you, right?"

"Of course. When Nami is not with you, she always gives the Den Den Mushi to me to take care of." Iin responded as he took out a Den Den Mushi from his handbag and handed it to Bane.

"This is my personal Den Den Mushi. You just put such an important thing in your bag? Aren't you afraid of losing it? What if someone picks it up and someone calls you for important information?" Ben criticized in a pretentious manner, "You should learn from Nami in this regard."

When Ian heard Bane say this, he felt something was wrong. After hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. He rolled his eyes at this guy and didn't respond at all.

What does it mean to learn from Nami?

What you mean is that you should also keep this Den Den Mushi in that valley like Nami did?
It's not that I, Ain, don't want to, it's that I don't have the conditions, right? Damn it! I'm obviously a few years older, why is Nami so well developed? I'm not doing anything?
Without bothering to continue teasing his little follower, Ein, Bane casually shot the Den Den Mushi away.

After a while, the Den Den Mushi was picked up, and then Dr. Kinos said in a somewhat impatient tone: "What's the matter? I'm busy here."

"What are you busy with?" Bane asked casually.

"Thanks to Miss Robin, who is indeed a rare and excellent linguist, many cosmic languages that I originally couldn't understand have now been gradually deciphered. I am currently studying the power system of this spacecraft." Dr. Kinos seemed a little excited when he talked about this.

Bane was also very interested and asked, "How's the progress?"

"The progress is not very good. We have just started, but there is no doubt that the power core of this broken ship has been scrapped, and it is estimated that this technology will be difficult to replicate. In other words, we may not be able to find suitable materials for experiments. So in all likelihood, we need to replace the power unit. However, the energy demand to drive a warship of this level is undoubtedly quite terrifying, and it is not easy to do. But I also have some ideas. I said before that although there are not many high-end technologies in this world, there are still some things. Among the strange technologies studied by Vegapunk, there is a thing called the Holy Mother Flame, also known as the 'Mother Fire', which can be used as a reference. The energy utilization rate is extremely high." Dr. Kinos explained casually.

"I didn't expect there would be technology here that you would be interested in." Bane said with a little surprise.

In this world, this guy Kinos is commenting on this and that all day long, and never gets a good word out of his mouth. He calls everyone either trash or garbage. This kind of situation is really rare.

"Even a piece of toilet paper has its own value." Dr. Kinos said a little arrogantly.

Bane ignored the topic. He couldn't understand the technical language anyway, so he quickly said, "Something is going to happen in Vegapunk. Saint Satan, one of the Five Elders, is heading straight to Aeghede with Borsalino. He was discovered studying ancient texts, the blank hundred years, and ancient technology. I remembered that you also stayed there for a while. Did you leave any traces?"

"You've already warned me that there was a problem, especially that his clones were unreliable. How could I make such a low-level mistake?" Dr. Kinos said calmly, "I've packed up everything that needs to be packed up. As for the information that will be exposed, it's only about limb regeneration, gene fine-tuning and other related technologies. As long as Vegapunk himself doesn't betray me, there will be no problem."

"I feel relieved when you say that." Bane smiled.

As for exposing some technical information, that doesn’t matter. It would be abnormal if there were no technical information left, right?
But at this moment, Dr. Kinos suddenly asked again: "Will he die? Vegapunk?"

"Probably." Bane thought for a moment and said. Without the Straw Hat Pirates involved in this matter, it is estimated that Egghead will not be able to resist Marijoa's power, not to mention that Borsalino is following him.

If nothing unexpected happens, both the original Vegapunk and his clone will die there.

Unless he has already run away.
Dr. Kinos was not a hypocritical person. Hearing this, he said with a little regret: "Is there no way to help him?"

"Are you interested in talent?" Ben laughed and teased.

"Indeed, a little bit. Although he is much worse than me, he is still a rare scientist who can keep up with my thinking. He can barely be considered second-rate." Dr. Kinos said with a somewhat arrogant tone.

After a pause, he continued, "But sometimes he does have some good ideas coming out of that big head of his. I'm actually quite optimistic about him."

After listening to these words, Ben fell silent. After a long while, he scratched his head and said, "It's not easy."

"It's not easy to do, so forget it." Dr. Kinos didn't force anything, and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I still have work to do."

"Ah, take some rest and don't make yourself so nervous." Bane said with a smile.

"As for the two injections of nutritional supplements and the mental relaxant injection, don't meddle in the scientists' business." Kinos said carelessly.

Then, as an employee, he was very tough and took the lead in hanging up the Den Mushi of his boss, Bane.

Looking at the wilted Den Den Mushi in his hand, Bane couldn't help but shake his head, and said to Ian with a helpless smile: "When he first came to work under me, he was trembling with fear, but now he doesn't even take my authority seriously."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Ai En asked with a little doubt: "I see that you are enjoying it, aren't you?"

"That's right." Bane did not deny it. "This is indeed worth being happy about, because it means that he truly regards me as a trusted companion, rather than an exploiter who was forcibly brought under his command."

Bane prefers the current situation to the previous relationship.

Speaking of which, whether it's Nami, Fubuki, or Zoro and others, they are all careless towards him in private and don't show any special respect for him as the boss.

Even Ain has become sharp-tongued and would make some sarcastic remarks to him from time to time.

However, as long as they were in public and formal occasions, they had never embarrassed themselves and took good care of the face of their boss.

For Bane, that was enough.

We are all family, and he is happy with whatever nonsense we do on a daily basis. As long as we don't embarrass him when we are doing serious work, that's fine.

"Do you remember Kinos ever making any personal requests to me?" Bane walked to the gate of the Cap family's courtyard, lit a cigarette, and asked softly.

Ian was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and touched his delicate little chin to think, at the same time, Bane had already rang the doorbell.

After the doorbell stopped ringing and Cap's loud voice came from inside, Ian finished thinking and shook his head, "No, think about it carefully. Dr. Kinos has never made any personal requests. He is like a machine, fully devoted to scientific research. Even if he has any requests, they are about scientific research."

"Yeah." Ben exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "This guy has never asked me for anything personal before. This is the last time."

At this point, Ben paused for a moment, then grinned and said, "How can I refuse this?"

At the same time, Cap pushed open the door and looked at Bane's cheerful smile. He asked in a slightly strange tone, "Why are you laughing so happily?"

"Just thinking about some interesting things that are about to happen." Bane said casually, and walked in without waiting for Cap's invitation.

Cap looked at Bane's condition, scratched his head a little confused, looked at Ian and said, "Did he take the wrong medicine?"

"Maybe. The young master eats weird things all day long, so it's normal for him to have a mental breakdown occasionally." Ian responded seriously.
