From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 308 The new king who takes over the world!
More than an hour later, the Void Hall of Pongel Castle had turned into ruins.

But surprisingly, this piece of ruins actually only surrounds the location of the Void Palace.

Even the flowers and plants in the courtyard in front of the door were not damaged.

The broken walls and fallen bricks and stones were right where they were. The huge palace collapsed and piled up like a garbage mountain made of rubbish.

Only the main entrance of the hall was not damaged at all. The areas connecting the walls on both sides had collapsed, but the door was still closed tightly, as if it was still guarding the ruins inside.

The dust that was vibrating in the air gradually settled down, and soon, the door of the hall made a creaking and twisting sound. Then, an arm stained with blood, with flesh turned inside out and a faint dark aura rolling from the wound pushed open the heavy door of the hall.

Maybe it's for the sense of ceremony?

Even though the surrounding walls had collapsed and there were no extra obstacles, Bane still chose to walk out of the main door.

His figure gradually emerged from the shadow of the palace gate. When he entered, he was wearing a navy cloak of justice, a suit and tie, and looked like a naval elite.

But when he came out, his black hair was a little messy, and dried blood was stuck to the ends of his hair, making him look a little embarrassed. The corners of his mouth were bloody, and the bright red blood was still flowing down his broken lips. In the eroded wound, he was actually biting a cigarette that had just been lit.

The cloak of justice on his body had long disappeared, and his black suit was extremely tattered and accidentally hung on the handle of the palace door. As Bane stepped out, the cloak also fell off his torso, revealing the black vest inside, which was still not intact, but barely acceptable.

The injuries on his body were very obvious. There was a horizontal wound on his waist, which had cut off a large part of his waist muscles. His flesh, blood and kidneys were exposed to the air unscrupulously, with black smoke surrounding them, as if they were repairing themselves.

At the same time, a long knife was inserted in the middle of the chest. It was the "World" in Im's hand before. This sharp blade called the World pierced through Bane's chest and back. The handle of the knife was pressed tightly against his chest muscles, and blood kept dripping to the ground along the flower spikes on the handle.

"Hey, hey." Bane had already walked half of the hall door, with one hand holding the door beam and the other hand behind him, as if dragging something.

Soon, with his staggering steps, he walked out of the palace door completely. The thing he was dragging in his other hand was the tattered Void Throne.

This luxurious chair, which had been maintained by the world government for more than 800 years, now looked like it was picked up from a garbage dump. The originally tall and narrow backrest was completely broken, and the smooth red satin on it was stained with some flickering sparks and was burnt into tatters.

After pulling the broken throne into the courtyard and straightening it, Bane breathed a sigh of relief. He felt the tearing pain from the wounds on his body. His brows furrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched, causing the cigarette ash to fall to the ground.

"No matter how many times I get hurt, it hurts, this damn Dark-Dark Fruit." Bane cursed as he sat down on the throne. The blade that pierced through his chest and back was stuck just above the broken chair back. There was no contact at all, but it was as if he was nailed to the throne.

As soon as he sat down, he felt a lot more relaxed mentally. The gentle breeze from Mary Joa blew slowly, making Bane's wounds feel much cooler. The gentle sunlight passed through the thin clouds and fell on Bane's scarred body, making him feel the warmth he hadn't felt in a long time.

"Huh." Ben raised his left hand with some difficulty, which was missing its pinky and ring fingers. He took out the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, exhaled a comfortable breath of smoke, and looked at the beautiful flowers and plants in the courtyard in front of him. His mouth slightly curled up, but the pulling of the wound made his smile look a little awkward. He whispered to himself, "Today is really a good day for closing my eyes. Don't you think so? Im?"

But obviously, no one could respond to him.

Yim, who once stole the throne, is now buried forever under the ruins of the palace behind Bane.

However, this gentle sunshine and cool breeze seem to be welcoming the new king of this world.

When the blood-stained cigarette butt in his hand was about to burn out, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard outside the courtyard.

Soon, Garp, Zoro and others rushed in, and then saw the absurd yet inexplicably harmonious scene.

A burly man covered in scars and bleeding, with a sharp blade stuck in his chest, sat on a dilapidated throne. Behind him were collapsed ruins and an open door. The sunlight shone on him, interweaving with the shadows, giving this man an inexplicable strange charm, full of vitality, yet dilapidated.

"Bane!?" Garp was the first to react, then grinned and said, "Even in the battle with Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, you didn't look so embarrassed. It seems that Im is very difficult to deal with."

"More than tricky." Bane grinned, revealing a sad but brilliant smile. "That's quite powerful, as expected of an old fellow who has lived for hundreds of years. His domineering and skills seem to have reached the limit. If it weren't for my Dark-Dark Fruit that prevented him from using that terrifyingly surging vitality, I'm afraid I would be the one to die."

"Are you okay?" Zoro walked forward and asked Bane, who was seriously injured and should have been dead.

Ben glanced at him helplessly and said, "Do I look okay to you?"

"We were originally fighting with the last of the Five Elders, that guy Nasujuro. We were about to kill him when he suddenly let out a wail and black smoke came out of his body, just like Satan in Egghead. He died instantly. It was at that time that we knew that you must have won." Zoro said softly, looking at Bane's injuries.

"I've already told you that I will seize this throne, so how could I lose?" Bane patted the armrest of the empty throne with his severed finger and laughed.

"Eh?" Dorag was a little surprised and said, "If you hadn't told me that this was the Void Throne, I would have almost not recognized it. I sneaked in here and saw it last year."

"Compared to the throne..." Zoro stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the knife on Bane's chest, his expression slightly curious and said, "This knife looks very unusual." "This knife was the sword that Im wore when he was the 20th king more than 800 years ago. It was named the World. Now, it is stained with the blood of two generations of kings. It is worthy of the name. You..." Bane grinned and introduced it to Zoro, but before he finished speaking, Zoro pulled the world out of his chest.

"Oh shit." Bane cried out in pain, covering the bleeding wound on his chest and cursing, "Damn it, it hurts so much, I don't even want to pull it out!"

Zoro ignored Bane and raised the world in his hand to observe it in the sunlight. The bright red blood flowed down the blade and stained his knuckles, but he showed no disdain. With excitement in his eyes, he said, "What a good sword! When I return to the East Sea, I will give it to Kuina as a gift in exchange for the Wado Ichimonji."

After a brief pause, Zoro's eyes flashed with longing and he said, "I think if she owns this world, she won't be so lonely down there, right?"

Bane, who had originally wanted to force himself to kick that bastard Zoro, fell silent after hearing this, and sat on the throne, not moving anymore.

Soon, the rest of the people arrived here one after another.

Zefa stepped forward and looked at Bane with some concern, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems nothing serious."

Bane???

Teacher, how did you know I was fine? I was almost dying, okay?

"Indeed, it's okay as long as you're not dead." Fubuki beside him nodded seriously, then looked at the ruins and said, "Where's Im's body? I want to see what he looks like."

"That's a pity. At the moment of death, he quickly decayed and turned into residue, merging with the ruins forever," Bane shook his head.

There was no delay here. Soon, Nami came with a medic and hurriedly helped the medic bandage Bane's wound.

Bane needs to rest because of his injuries, but Marijoa's affairs are not over yet.

After dealing with the Five Elders, Boa Hancock immediately rushed into God's Residence with the Revolutionary Army and madly slaughtered all the Celestial Dragons in God's Residence. Tesoro, holding the head of a Celestial Dragon in his hand, knelt in front of the furnace where the bodies of slaves were burning, crying and wailing, as if he had finally vented all the pent-up anger and sadness in his heart.

Garp found his great grandson Monkey D. Luffy who was imprisoned in a secret cage in the basement of Pongole Castle. The boy had not been abused at all and was still sleeping when Garp found him.

Under the leadership of Stussy, Zefa found Commander Cyborg in the prison at the CP headquarters. His mental state was not very good, but he was not abused either.

The Holy Land Guards of Marijoa were annihilated, the Knights of God were completely destroyed, the Celestial Dragons were madly retaliated, and some unlucky yet lucky slaves were rescued.

Marijoa, this ancient place that one cannot tell whether to call it a holy land or hell, has officially been taken over by the navy.

In fact, considering its influence and geographical advantages, when they were in Melville, everyone had discussed that if Marijoa could be properly preserved, it would be very appropriate for it to continue to operate as the central agency of the New World government in the future.

The only regret is that after a meticulous search, the whereabouts of the ancient weapon Uranus, the king of heaven, which appeared once and then disappeared, has never been found.

Perhaps the Five Elders and Im knew where it was hidden, but the problem was that the Five Elders were dead, and Bane did not have enough time to ask this question when he fought Im.

I guess, even if he asked, Im wouldn't answer him, right?

Still sitting on the throne, feeling Nami standing behind him, helping him carefully clean the dust and stains on some minor wounds that did not need bandaging, Bane suddenly laughed.

"Nami." Bane called out.

"What's the matter?" Nami responded casually while using a cotton swab to pick out the debris from the wound under Bane's earlobe.

"I've only sat on this throne for a short while, but I'm already bored. What should I do?" Bane asked with a smile.

"Bored?" Nami asked in surprise, "Don't you have any patience at all, man?"

"Thinking about it carefully, the king of this world doesn't seem to be very interesting. Or maybe there is nothing on this sea that can attract me anymore." Ben leaned in Nami's gentle embrace and said softly, "After we have arranged the follow-up matters, let's go see other equally wonderful worlds, shall we?"

"Just the two of us?" Nami asked with a teasing look in her eyes.

"You little thief, you want to get rid of Fubuki and Robin and run away again, right?" Bane teased him, and then said, "Next, it's time to fulfill my promise to everyone and lead them to the other world!"
