From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 307: This punch of mine is meant to shatter this world!

Even though he was a naval admiral under the World Government and had been to Marijoa several times, Bane had never set foot in this void palace or seen the legendary throne.

As he stepped into the hall, Bane naturally and unceremoniously looked around the place.

The hall is very spacious, enough to accommodate thousands of people for an audience.

The beams are so high that even if giants come in, they probably won’t feel a bit oppressive.

There are not many furnishings in this hall. There are windows on both sides, but they are blocked by thick curtains, and no light can come in.

From the entrance, there is a bright red carpet, extending all the way to the end of the hall, where the Void Throne is located.

At this time, Bane was standing on the red carpet. Along the red carpet on both sides, there were twenty lights, which seemed to symbolize twenty kings. Going up the stairs, there were three floors in total, and the Void Throne was on the top floor.

Around the throne, various weapons that looked very luxurious were stuck in the ground.

According to rumors, those were the weapons of the twenty kings who founded the world government more than eight hundred years ago, and each of them was of quality no less than the best.

Of course, hundreds of years have passed, and although they are still well maintained and bright and beautiful, they have lost the sharpness and murderous aura that once lingered on them. Bane's evaluation of them is that they feel just average.

At this moment, under the dim light, Bane's eyesight was enough to see the appearance of the throne clearly.

There was no one on the throne. The entire throne was made of gold and red silk. The armrests on both sides were carved into golden lions guarding the throne. It looked very majestic. There was also a very obvious World Government's "Cross Four Seas" logo on the back of the chair. It was very straight and no matter how you thought about it, you would feel that the chair must not be very comfortable.

Just as Bane stood in the hall, looking around at the situation here.

In the shadows on the left side of the floor where the throne was located, a figure walked out slowly.

Because the hall was too dark and the guy seemed to be deliberately hiding his appearance, Bane couldn't see clearly what the figure looked like.

The two did not communicate at all. Bane just silently looked at the figure, walked to the throne, and then slowly sat on the throne.

It was not until then that Bane saw the figure clearly.

He is a very handsome young man, with long dark blond hair, wearing a tall crown, his long hair draped over his shoulders, his angular eyebrows, indeed he has the heroic spirit of a king, his pupils are as sharp as an eagle, but even so, one can see a strong air of decay in his eyes, as if he has experienced many vicissitudes of life and walked out of time.

Even though there hadn't been any physical contact, Bane could already feel from such a distance that his body was filled with an indescribable amount of surging vitality. Even when he was just sitting there, the elements in the air around him were constantly merging into him, as if he was the center of a vortex.

It was precisely because of this incredibly surging vitality that Bane confirmed that the other party was indeed Im.

To be honest, this was somewhat beyond his expectations. He had even imagined that since Im was so afraid of death and the restraint of the Dark-Dark Fruit on him, perhaps under such pressure, he might give up everything he had, escape from Mary Geoise, and disappear forever.

Until Bane is old and frail and dies of natural causes, it is not impossible for this guy to make a comeback by then.

I didn't expect that he would appear so openly and sit on the throne so naturally.

While Bane was observing Im, Im was also observing Bane.

Of course, he had studied a lot of information about Bane. Even if he had never actually seen him, he was very familiar with Bane. But even so, he still felt a little bit sad that he was too young.

"Being young is really a good thing." Yim whispered to himself.

Judging from his appearance, he is undoubtedly a man, but his voice is somewhat androgynous and full of magnetism, and one can vaguely feel a sense of majesty.

"I think so too." Bane said with a smile.

"Now that you see the king, why don't you bow?" Yim asked softly.

"What kind of king are you?" Bane asked with a murderous look in his eyes.

"The king of this place, the king of the world." Yim still responded in a calm tone, as if he didn't feel the pressure from Bane at all. "Ahahahahaha" Bane laughed after hearing this and said, "Since you are a king, you must be respected by the people. I wonder how many of your subjects know that you are the king of the world? And sing praises to your name?"

Bane's words seemed to hit Im's sore spot, causing him to fall silent.

"My name is Narona Yim, and everyone in the world knows my reputation." After a moment, Yim said in a deep voice.

"That was the glory of the twenty kings." Bane said with a little emotion, "It happened eight hundred years ago. I never knew the reason, nor was I interested in it. But as the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is the greatest truth in the ocean. The twenty kings won, so they are the winners and justice. This is the result, so they deserve to be praised and glorified."

Bane has always respected the twenty kings. No matter what they did or what their starting point was more than eight hundred years ago, there is only one thing that cannot be denied, that is, they won!
This kind of victory, which affects the whole world and influences the direction and situation of the entire ocean for hundreds of years to come, deserves respect!
As winners, they should naturally enjoy the glory that belongs to them.

After a brief pause, Bane looked at the weapons in front of Im, and then said, "Whether it is out of hypocrisy or true sincerity, these twenty sharp blades are in front of this throne. Back then, twenty kings built this throne that symbolizes equality and no dictatorship. No matter what the reason is, whether I agree or not, it is undeniable that this is noble. It is precisely because of this nobility that their glory can last forever and be praised by the world. But now, you who sit on the throne have lost the dignity and magnanimity of a king. In this case, how dare you call yourself the king of the world?"

"As you said, the greatest truth in this world is that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Now I am alive and I am sitting here, and they are all dead. Isn't this a victory? Or do you have to set limits on the means to achieve victory? I got the final victory, so naturally I should enjoy the glory of being the king of the world, right?" Im's expression did not change at all, his tone was still so steady, and he asked softly.

"The glory of a king is never enjoyed by himself." Bane said with a serious expression, "Because it is glory, it must be displayed to all people, and it must also be respected by all people. The so-called respect comes from respect. If you want to be respected, you need to have enough capacity and talent. And you, obviously, have not displayed your glory in this world. You are just a weak person hiding under the prosperity of Marijoa, claiming to be the king, and using this to steal the throne, complacently."

"So, you want to be king too?" Im did not argue with Bane, but asked this.

"The throne is right in front of me, how could I not want to sit on it?" Bane said with a smile on his face, "Although it looks like the throne is not very comfortable."

But it is precisely because the throne is not comfortable enough that it can remind the person sitting on it not to indulge in a comfortable environment.

"You said that I hid under Mary Joa and dared not show up in front of the world. But I think that as a king, I am born noble. People who are not qualified are certainly not worthy of knowing my existence." Yim then continued the previous sentence, and then said: "You are qualified. That's why I am waiting for you here, Bane."

"Now that you mention it, I kind of understand why you didn't leave." Bane said with a hint of realization in his eyes.

"Hmph." Yim snorted. This seemed to be the first time that his emotions changed. Then, he said, "Since you have the qualifications, you are no longer the same as the common people. You have escaped from the mortals and ants and arrived before the throne. In return, I must give you enough respect."

At this point, Yimu's tone sank and he said, "As a king, you can do whatever you want, but there is only one thing you cannot escape, and that is defending your throne. If you can't even do this, then you are truly unworthy of being a king!"

The moment the words fell, the kingly aura on Im soared into the sky, as if the entire Void Throne was trembling for him, and the twenty king's blades in front of him also let out wails.

Feeling this momentum, Benn gradually smiled and said, "It is at this moment and these words that I can barely glimpse the demeanor of the twenty kings eight hundred years ago."

Only at this moment did Bane truly feel the spirit of a king from Im!

He casually pulled out a long sword from the sharp blades in front of the throne. Im still sat on the throne, looking down at Bane.

Then, he pointed the sharp blade in his hand at Bane at the bottom of the stairs and whispered, "My name is Narona Yim, the king of this place, the king of the world. I am on this throne and grant you the qualification and honor to challenge the king, Bane."

Looking at Im's kingly demeanor, Bane smiled and chose to respect his kingly demeanor.

Bane raised one hand and touched his shoulder, nodding his head slightly like an elegant nobleman, and said, "Thank you very much. To show my sincerity, I will take your life as the king of the old era."

The moment the words fell, Bane lost his modesty, and immediately afterwards, he burst out with a surging domineering aura, extinguishing all twenty lights in the void hall.

And the next moment, a cold light burst out in the dark hall, it was Im who took action.

"This blade is called 'World'!" Im's voice came with a cold light.

The Heart Ferry on Bane's waist also let out an excited neigh, and then it was unsheathed, illuminating the dim hall with the same sharp cold light.

In a trance, Bane seemed to see countless changes from Im's slash, and saw the long river of time flowing, which was all-encompassing, that is, the "world"!
The cold light of Xindu was obviously no match for this "world". It was fleeting and disappeared into the darkness.

Then, an iron fist hit the 'world'.

"This punch of mine is meant to shatter this world!!!"
