From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 310 Bane: I want to be the king of kings, the king of the world!

As the saying goes, the crazier the celebration party is, the more embarrassed everyone will be after it's over.

Many people were now sitting in the large conference room in Pongal Castle, which had previously been used to hold world conferences.

Originally, before the meeting started, everyone didn't need to be so serious. It was normal for people to whisper to each other and exchange opinions about what they were going to express later.

But today is different.

Basically, all the bigwigs in the conference room sat upright, with extremely cold expressions and eyes straight ahead. The atmosphere was quite depressing, as if if anyone opened their mouth to speak, everyone would jump up and eat the other person.

Especially Sakaski, the 'most beloved commander-in-chief of the army by Kuzan', he sat on the chair with a gloomy face, the teacup in front of him kept bubbling, and the temperature around him was a little unstable, as if it could explode at any time.

Kuzan, who was sitting opposite him, also closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, looking as if he had lost all desire to live and didn't want to do anything about it.

Perhaps the others don't want to speak, or even dare not speak.

But there is one exception, and that is the old fox Borsalino.

He walked in from the conference room door with a thermos cup in his hand. When he noticed the strange and depressing atmosphere here, a sly smile appeared on his wrinkled old face. He said with a grin, "It's really strange. Everyone seemed so happy yesterday, but why do they all look like they've lost a battle today? Sakaski? As our most respected commander-in-chief of the entire army, don't you have anything to say? Can you boost morale a little?"

As soon as Borsalino said this, Sakaski and Kuzan broke down at the same time.

Sakaski punched the teacup on the table and exploded it on the spot. He said indignantly: "All my colleagues are here. Let me bear witness today that I, Sakaski, have been injured by alcohol and have lost my mind. From today on, I will stop drinking!"

Kuzan's expression darkened as he said, "Borsalino, you are simply a traitor among us. You drank tea when everyone else was drinking. Do you deserve our trust in you? You drank tea for seven days straight. Doesn't your mouth feel bitter?"

"It's OK, I had sweet tea," Borsalino responded jokingly.

At this moment, Bane, wearing a cloak of justice and holding his teacup in his hand, walked into the meeting room very calmly.

He also immediately sensed the strange atmosphere in the meeting room, and then said with a smile: "Why do you all look so dejected? By the way, Marshal Zefa is not feeling well today, and he said he is too embarrassed to come to see you, so I will be the one to preside over the meeting."

When Ben went to see Zefa in the morning, Zefa, who had been a dignified teacher all his life, was sitting alone on the sofa in silence. He looked like he hadn't slept for half the night. His eyes were bloodshot, his beard was untidy, and he looked depressed.

When he saw Benn, he felt so ashamed that he didn't want to come to the meeting at all and chose to escape.

Upon hearing this, Garp, who had been sitting on a chair and trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, suddenly stood up and tried to run out with his head covered. Bane stopped him and said, "Mr. Garp? What are you doing? Is it because there are no best senbei at the meeting? I'll arrange for someone to send your scepter to you right away."

"Asshole, let me go. I have no face left." Karp struggled and scolded.

"Come on, forget it. You are an eccentric person. No one thinks you still have any dignity." Bane pushed Cap back.

The little farce before the meeting lasted for a while, and Bane soon sat in the first seat, put down his teacup, knocked on the table and said: "Marijoa's victory is a magnificent victory. In this battle, we annihilated the upper ruling organization of the World Government headed by Im and the Five Elders, and successfully eliminated the Celestial Dragon tribe. This is a victory that has never been seen in this sea for more than 800 years."

Bane followed the script and first made a declaration of victory.

Then he smiled and said, "The celebration lasted for a week. I think everyone really let go of the pressure in their hearts. Everyone was very cool and relaxed."

Listening to Bane's teasing and laughter, everyone present felt a little embarrassed. They looked at each other and no one said a word.

"Okay, we've had enough fun and had enough fun. As for the gold, jewels and other things at the celebration party, as well as the remaining property on Marijoa, I have given careful consideration. Whether you think I'm being arbitrary or something else, I have decided to reward all of them to all the heroes who participated in the Battle of Marijoa, from ordinary naval soldiers to Commander-in-Chief Sakaski," Bane said, knocking on the table.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him with some surprise.

Even though everyone in power had so much fun in the past few days, in fact, those gold and luxury goods do not belong to them. If you have to say it, they are a kind of "party props".

Although everyone looked a little surprised, it soon dissipated and no one raised any objections, because it was only natural to give a big reward after a big victory.

It's simply that the reward this time was a little too generous. You know, what they used to play with at the celebration banquet was not even one percent, or even one thousandth, of what they seized in the God's Residence.

What’s more important is that at that time, most of the property in the God’s Residence had already been transferred to the East China Sea.

Marijoa at that time could be said to be the poorest period in history!

"I hope the generals will remember the madness and obsession at the celebration party and think carefully about their own embarrassment." Bane then continued, "The fun we had at this celebration banquet is actually the daily life of many nobles and high-ranking officials in Mary Geoise. And it is precisely because they are obsessed with this crazy daily life that the giant ship that has sailed for more than 800 years, that is, the world government, has been messed up like this!"

"Everyone feels ashamed now, which is a good thing. It shows that at least after we sober up, we still have courtesy and integrity, and know that it is shameful. It is precisely because of this, and because of shame, that I believe that you will definitely take this as a warning," Bane said slowly. To be honest, corruption is an inevitable thing. No matter what kind of regime it is, it may be able to remain bright and beautiful at the beginning, but power has always been infinitely corrupting of will. Everyone present, Bane believes in their will, but he will not always believe in it.

Not to mention them, the same goes for Bane himself.

It is very possible that one day you will be subtly influenced by these things and gradually become addicted to pleasure.

"So, we must take Marijoa as a warning and establish a relatively complete self-purification regulatory mechanism. If we allow power to spread without limit, the end result will be that we will become Celestial Dragons and become the target we want to defeat." Bane knocked on the table and glanced at everyone.

At this moment, everyone had lost their previous shame and listened to this very seriously.

It's not a big truth, but at least give Bane enough respect.

Bane did not continue with this nonsense, and quickly cut to the next topic and said: "After this, some people will follow me to Melville to participate in the April joint meeting held by the Warring States General Staff in Melville. This meeting is very important. We will work with all walks of life and the kings of the four seas to truly establish and improve the organizational structure and power division of our New World Government."

Many naval generals are obviously not interested in this kind of thing, and they probably won't be too deeply involved in the process of establishing the new world's government. Everyone knows this.

In other words, the real top management, such as Sakaski, Kuzan, Borsalino, Garp, and Zephyr, are considering the follow-up matters.

There is no need to go deeper into the navy vice admirals such as Smoker, Zoro, Spider Demon, and Flying Squirrel.

They will still be rooted in the naval system and what they need to adapt to is the new changes in the navy rather than getting overly involved in politics.

Compared to the navy, the people from the Revolutionary Army, Golden City, News of the World, Amazon Lily and other related personnel are quite interested in the topic that Bane is currently talking about.

"According to the pre-war agreement, our Revolutionary Army will be fully integrated into the New World government system, and after a relative reform of the current Revolutionary Army system, an inspection department will be immediately established. Is this pre-war promise still valid?" Sabo raised his hand and asked.

"It works. At least our navy will support it. However, the final result still needs to be confirmed by the Joint Conference," Bane nodded immediately.

Sabo understood that what Bane meant by saying this was to make the Joint Conference more authoritative. In fact, as long as the proposal was agreed by the Navy, it would not be rejected, at least in this first time or even in the previous conferences.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to tell the difference between the big and small kings among the royal families from various countries who came to attend the conference, influential figures from all walks of life, or representatives of some organization.

Giving you the opportunity to speak is to demonstrate our breadth of mind and magnanimity, not to let you pretend to be something you are not.

Borsalino asked, "After the war, the Navy will be united with the New World Government, but some power will be divided. What is the specific intention?"

"Basically, it's about the clear division of military expenditures, functions and related elements. We need to further define what the main responsibilities of the navy are and protect them through legislation to prevent the navy from becoming a purely violent institution. At the same time, we also need to prevent the navy from becoming a subordinate of certain powers. The details are too complicated and I can't explain them clearly. Let's leave it to the meeting for discussion." Bane said.

At this time, Amazon Lily's representative, Guroliosa... That's right, Hancock didn't come to the meeting, probably because she was embarrassed.

The old woman Guloliosa raised her hand and asked, "Regarding the matter of the King of Kings and the King of the World, the supreme authority of the New World Government, which was first proposed by the New World and the South Sea countries?"

Having said this, Guroliosa paused for a moment and then said, "General Bane, forgive me for being blunt, but everyone present here is truly your own people. Perhaps the navy and the revolutionary army have already understood your intentions, but we Amazon Lily have not received a clear signal. I want to know, what exactly do you think about this? How do you need us to cooperate?"

"Full support." Bane grinned and said without hesitation.

Without waiting for Guroliosa to speak again, Bane looked at everyone and said, "Although everyone already knows my ambition, I still want to emphasize that I need this power and status. This is not only a display of my personal ambition, but also some senior officials know that after the chaos in the world government is over, we will face a major challenge that will sweep the world. This challenge requires us to fully concentrate all our strength and will. For this, the world needs a true commander, a true king!"

As soon as Bane finished speaking, everyone in the conference room involuntarily turned their attention to the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon.

As the real boss of the Melview Navy, the naval leaders will definitely support Bane. Not to mention Bane's personal interests, just talking about the collective interests of the Navy, Bane, who came from the Navy, becoming the highest authority is a kind of return to the Navy, which will undoubtedly further enhance the status and influence of the Navy.

As for the Golden City, Amazon Lily and other related organizations and countries, this incident actually has no fundamental impact. After all, whether there is a king or not, their limitations are there anyway, and it is not their turn to take power.

Only the Revolutionary Army is somewhat different.

However, Dorag had already reached a consensus with Bane. This was also a brand-new attempt at the world system. They were all crossing the river by feeling the stones. Let alone talking about good or bad. As he said, they had to try it to see whether it was good or bad. If it was really unacceptable, regardless of whether he could succeed or not, Dorag didn't mind going through the old path again.

It's nothing more than being the leader of the rebels again.

What's more, Dorag also clearly knows that a disaster that will sweep across the entire world may break out at any time. Bane is willing to take on the responsibility of saving the world as a king, so it is reasonable to let him be crowned with glory!

So when everyone looked at Dragon, Dragon said with a serious expression: "We, the Revolutionary Army, will fully support this proposal!"
