From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 257 Hunting the Five Elder Stars?

After thinking for a while, Karp suddenly laughed and said, "Although everything is still just your speculation, you told me these secrets. As expected, I was right about you. You had a shady relationship with Mary Geoise before, but at the critical moment, you were able to stick to your position."

"Mr. Garp, you helped me to come to the Navy. How could I possibly harm you? Moreover," Bane said with a heavy tone, "If I did something like this, how could I face everyone? I can't do such a thing."

"I knew you were a man of loyalty." Karp nodded with emotion.

The temptation offered by the Five Elder Stars is not something that ordinary people can refuse.

Without further ado, Ben asked, "So what are you going to do now?"

"Just now I was thinking of going directly to Marijoa to ask them for the person, and if that doesn't work, I'll just make a big fuss." Garp's face changed instantly, and he said with gritted teeth.

But soon, he calmed down again, shook his head and said, "Now that I think about it, this is not appropriate. Let alone whether this is true or not, I don't have any evidence to ask for it, and they won't admit it. Then it might backfire."

"That's right." Bane nodded.

"I will pay attention to Mary Geoise, but I will also have to continue investigating other aspects. What if someone else did it?" Karp said this first, and then said, "If the final situation is really as you guessed, then Mary Geoise will have to wait for you to take action. Once you receive the exact news, I will..."

At this point, Garp hesitated again, looked at Bane and said, "By then, you will have offended Mary Joa to death because of this matter of mine. Is that really okay?"

"I've been fed up with those bastards for a long time." Bane said with a grin.

This statement did not say anything explicitly, but it showed one's attitude.

Speaking of which, Marijoa did him a favor. Originally, Bane was still thinking about how to bring the old man Garp to his side.

As a result, before he could take any action, Mary Joa arranged such a thing for him, and it just happened to fall into his hands.

Hearing what Bane said, Garp was also somewhat moved, and said in a serious tone: "This time, I owe you a big favor. If there is any trouble, I will handle it alone. At worst, I will quit this navy job!"

"Maybe I can recommend you a good place then." Ben joked with a smile.

Karp didn't take it seriously and laughed, "You're already in your forties, can't you enjoy life? Do you really have to find another class to attend?"

After chatting for a while, the two of them didn't continue talking about Garp's great grandson.

Soon, the topic shifted to the current situation in the New World.

"Sakaski said that the headquarters still needs a little more time to prepare, so he wants me to hurry to the New World front and take full responsibility for frontline affairs to buy some leeway for the headquarters." Bane said.

"I heard that Yixiao is already at the front line." Karp touched his chin and said.

"That's right. If nothing unexpected had happened, Borsalino would have gone to the front line with me this time. But something happened in Egghead, and the Holy Metropolis of Satan went out personally and took Borsalino away just now." Bane nodded.

"Eigerhead?" Karp was a little surprised and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It seems that Dr. Vegapunk has rebelled." Bane said casually.

Although Garp was surprised by this, he did not ask too many questions and continued quickly: "So what are you going to do when you go to the new world?"

"The Chief of Staff and Sakaski both hope to decide the outcome with one blow and not drag the war out too long, especially after Germa joined them. The longer it is delayed, the greater the losses of our navy will be." Bane picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"That's true. Although we are still very confident that we can win the final victory, it is always better to pay less price. The Germa are a group of warmongers. It will be a bit troublesome if we give them time to train the pirate team." Garp said in approval.

"If we want to win with one strike, we have to find an opportunity to kill Kaido and Charlotte Linlin directly, so the most urgent task is to determine the whereabouts of these two guys first." Bane said.

"Not on Cake Island?" Garp asked with a little curiosity: "Didn't the Intelligence Department say that Kaido and Charlotte Linlin are both on Cake Island?"

"He should be there, but he may not always be there. I'm going to the New World this time to confirm this. Fortunately, in the Blade Force, Major General Drake has infiltrated the high-level of the Beasts Pirates and is one of the Flying Six. He can determine Kaido's movements at any time. When I arrive in the New World, I will stabilize the situation on the front line first. Then after Sakaski has made arrangements, I'm afraid he will have to go to the front line in person. Once the combat power of the headquarters is assembled, he will immediately find out the location of Kaido and Charlotte Linlin and find a way to raid them." Bane said in a serious tone.

The so-called victory or defeat is decided by one strike, it is just so brutal.

From the perspective of strategic planning, there are no profound ideas or high-end operations at all.

To put it bluntly, it is a decapitation operation. But as the saying goes, one trick is enough to conquer the world, that's the truth. Don't worry about whether this thing has no technical content or high-end level, as long as it works, it's fine.

The navy's huge army and fleet are, on the one hand, to stabilize the front and form a front line, and on the other hand, to immediately pacify the remaining forces of these pirates after killing Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, and to restore peace and stability in the new world as quickly as possible.

What Sakaski is currently preparing to arrange are actually these matters. It can be said that the pirates are thinking about how to win, while the navy is already making arrangements for the aftermath. The levels are indeed different.

Various disaster relief supplies and so on are what are currently holding back the navy.

Bane was talking to Garp about these things when the Den Den Mushi on Iin's body started to ring.

"Young Master, it's General Borsalino." After hearing the noise, Ian immediately took out the Den Den Mushi and handed it to Bane.

"Weren't we together just now? What was going on?" Ben complained, but still picked up the Den Den Mushi and said, "It's me, what's up?"

"I've just met up with Saint Satan and have already left the port." Borsalino's voice came from Den Den Mushi.

Bane was a little confused and said, "I'm not a marshal. Why are you reporting this to me? Do you think I'm your superior? Then I really enjoy the treatment of a marshal."

"You know what? You are now half a leader." Borsalino teased, then said, "Sakaski has handed over the command of all the navies in the New World to you. I am not too sure about your next arrangements, but Saint Satan just asked our navy to send five more lieutenant generals to form a demon-slaying order of ten warships to go to Aighead. Of course, I don't have time to transfer people from other places, so I can only choose from the New World. But the command is with you. In order to avoid disrupting your arrangements, I'm telling you to make the arrangements."

"Five lieutenant generals, plus you as a general, and ten warships. You really treat Egghead as a den of dragons and tigers." Bane smiled and then said, "Okay, I'll arrange it for you and get back to you later. Don't worry about going to Egghead."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Borsalino said with a smile.

He certainly didn't think that Bane would cause any problems with such a small matter, so he didn't seem to be worried at all and hung up the Den Den Mushi immediately.

"Just when I was sleepy, here comes the pillow." Bane touched his chin and said.

After hearing this, Ain's expression was a little surprised, thinking back to what her young master had said before she entered the room just now, and considering the current situation, she could almost conclude that the young master was causing trouble in Egghead.

"Young Master, that's Saint Satan, one of the Five Elder Stars." Ian reminded him implicitly.

"Of course I know." Bane nodded, then looked at Cap and said, "Are you interested in going to the New World together?"

Cap also felt that Bane seemed to be doing something dangerous. He wanted to ask, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back and said with a grin, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do during this period of time."

Without wasting any time, Bane thought for a moment and said, "Ain, pass on my order. Command Vice Admiral Zoro, Vice Admiral Fubuki, Vice Admiral Dor, Vice Admiral Smoker, and Vice Admiral Peng to prepare for support and assemble at G-5 to await my next order."

"Yes, young master!" Seeing that Bane had made up his mind, Ian said nothing more and responded immediately.

Then, Bane stood up and said to Cap beside him: "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Pack up today and we'll set off for G-5 together tomorrow morning."

Although Cap still didn't quite understand what Bane was going to do, he nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the port tomorrow morning."

Soon, Bane and Ian left the Garp family's courtyard.

Walking in the quiet alley, Ai En couldn't help but ask: "Young Master, what do you want to do?"

"Fulfill my partner's request. At the same time, cut off Borsalino's retreat and leave him no choice. Finally, it can be regarded as a measure of what the highest power is capable of." Bane grinned and said in a ferocious tone.

When he heard the last sentence, Ian knew that Bane was going to take action against the Five Elders, or more precisely, Saint Satan.

She immediately advised, "But this does not conform to our previous plan. Wasn't the original plan to attack Mary Geoise after resolving the New World War?"

"Plans cannot keep up with changes." Bane responded casually at first, and then said seriously: "I thought about it carefully, this is also our most likely chance to obtain the real information about the Five Elders and Im."

After all, although Bane knew about the existence of Im and had some general information, it was all too general.

At other times, the Five Elders stayed in Mary Geoise without moving, and it was difficult to attack them, but this time was different. If we could seize the opportunity this time, perhaps we could unveil the mystery.

Intelligence is undoubtedly a very important thing. Having solid intelligence is enough to turn the outcome of a war. Ian naturally understands this, so he doesn't try to persuade him any further.
