From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 312: Warring States: Huh? I became the crown prince and regent?

East China Sea, Shuangyue Village.

In Isshin Dojo, in Ben's small bedroom that has been kept by Koshiro for many years.

At this moment, there was a figure lying on the bed in the room, and he seemed to be still immersed in sleep.

Not long after, Nami secretly opened the door of the room like a little thief, walked in quietly, stood by Bane's bed and waited for a few breaths. Seeing that Bane was not alert or aware of anything, she grabbed the corner of the quilt and suddenly opened it, saying, "Hurry up and get up, everyone is waiting for you to eat! King Cantis!"

After being yelled at, Ben opened his eyes dazedly, reached out to grab the quilt that almost fell to the ground and said, "I told you, don't call me Cantis."

"Okay, King Cantis." Nami agreed with a malicious look.

"Am I the only one who got up the latest?" Bane was too lazy to argue with Nami about these trivial matters. He stretched, sat up and asked.

"Yeah, everyone is up and waiting for you." Nami said as she helped Bane take down the clothes hanging on the wall, and then went to the bathroom to help Bane squeeze the toothpaste.

Soon, Bane got up, packed up, and left the house with Nami.

After passing through the corridor of the dojo, they soon arrived at the restaurant together. This restaurant was originally where the disciples who studied here had their meals, but Sensei Koshiro had given them all a holiday these days, so none of them were in the dojo.

When Bane came over, he saw Yixiao, Weber, Nico Robin, Fubuki, and Iin sitting in a row. Opposite them were Koshiro and his wife, Mr. Zephyr, Garp, and Dr. Genos.

The breakfast was still very rich, with the entire table filled with food. It was not any particularly expensive delicacy, but it was very familiar to Ben. During that period of time, he ate these meals here every day.

"Ban, come and sit down." Koshiro waved at Ben with a smile.

"As expected of the King of the World, Cantis. Even when he is sleeping, he sleeps longer than any of us." Weber teased with a smile.

"Yes, everyone knows about Cantis's reputation, and only Nami dares to wake him up." Robin said with a smile, holding the milk.

"Long live Cantis!" This guy Cap didn't care about his age at all. He laughed and raised the teacup in his hand as if it was a toast.

The others looked at Bane's awkward expression and started laughing too.

"For no apparent reason, he has an additional title." Bane complained, and then asked, "Where's Sauron?"

As he said this, he looked out the window and found that there was indeed a drizzle of rain falling outside the window. Then he said with a look of realization on his face: "So that's it."

Whenever it rains in Shimotsuki Village, Zoro will go to the cemetery to visit Kuina.

"Kuina hasn't seen him for a long time. She must miss Zoro a lot, right?" Koshiro said with a smile, and there was no sadness in his tone.

After sitting down, Bane was not polite. He picked up the pancake from the table and started eating it with the rice porridge. While eating, he joked: "It's a pity that he failed in the challenge to Mihawk and failed to come back as the world's greatest swordsman."

"He is only 22 years old this year, still very young, and has a long way to go in the future." Koshiro put a piece of meat on the plate in front of Ben and said softly.

"Yeah, he's still young, unlike me, who was forced to become the king of the world at the age of 23." Bane said with emotion.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others all burst into laughter.

They had a very harmonious and happy breakfast. When they were almost finished, Zoro came back in the rain, folded his umbrella, and without any politeness, he sat down quickly and started to eat as if he had returned to his own home.

But if you think about it carefully, this is his home.

After breakfast, everyone sat on the sofas and chairs and chatted, looking very relaxed.

Bane moved a small stool and sat under the eaves at the door. He lit a cigarette and looked at the rain outside which seemed to be gradually stopping. He felt very comfortable.

At this moment, Ian walked up behind him with a bunch of documents in his hand and said, "Young Master, these are the documents sent from Marijoa this morning. Mr. Dragon and Mr. Sengoku are planning to start a plan to rebuild the route to the top of the Western Sky. Relying on Dr. Vegapunk's island cloud and sea cloud manufacturing technology, they are going to start from Marijoa and completely repair the route to Sky Island to create a stable and safe new route."

It is obvious that Dragon has begun to take action. Regarding the issue of dealing with the subsequent sea level rise, the world government leaders headed by Prime Minister Sengoku have now determined four plans.

The first one is to continue the previous idea of the world government and continue to use the "bridges" built in various places, such as the Taiqila Wolf in the East China Sea, and at the same time open up the Red Soil Continent and allow it to be developed to establish residential areas and resource supply chains, striving to maximize the population while achieving self-sufficiency.

The second one is the Sky Tree Project of the Melville Naval Headquarters. It still takes Melville as the "trunk" and continuously expands it by launching island clouds, sea clouds and isolated islands to create a large-scale Sky Tree.

This was built with funds from the world government, and without external threats, the growth rate should be significantly accelerated. The third option was a path that Dragon had envisioned when he was still in the Revolutionary Army, which was to migrate to Sky Island and rebuild the West Sky Route that could directly reach the Sky Island waters to carry out a large-scale migration operation.

As for the fourth one, it is a new plan currently being carried out by Dr. Vegapunk in Melview, called the "Canltis Ark Project". It uses the giant ship of Fishman Island as a sample idea to create multiple integrated ecological environment arks similar to the former Egghead to supplement the last means of refuge.

Of course, this is the arrangement and thinking currently known to some senior members of the world's government.

But in fact, very few people know about another top-secret plan, the 'Dark Gate Project' proposed by Bane.

The previous four plans can only be regarded as "survival guarantees". If one wants to preserve the population as much as possible, it will inevitably bring great pressure on material consumption. These plans, including the development of Sky Tree and Sky Island, have a very limited condition, that is, resources are limited. Being able to be "self-sufficient" and feed a certain number of people is already considered quite successful.

But self-sufficiency has always been just the minimum standard. After that, if civilization or the world wants to continue to progress, the consumed resources are indispensable.

But the sea will swallow up all the islands on the sea that are not high enough, that is to say, most of the resources will be swallowed up by the sea.

If we do not find a way to resolve this problem, sooner or later a huge disaster will arise due to the contradiction between population and resources.

From this perspective, the plan to open the 'Dark Gate' to travel to another world is essential.

It is also the real way to solve this disaster fundamentally.

The core problem of this plan is how to build a portal. We can't let Bane start the "human transport" by himself, right? He doesn't have the strength to do that?
The people gathered in Frost Moon Village now are the first group of members who will follow Bane to leave the sea and go to another world to find a way to build a portal.

Listening to Ain's report, Bane felt a headache and quickly waved his hand and said, "Stop reading, stop reading. If you keep reading, I will feel dizzy. Didn't I say it before I left Melview? You don't have to report these things to me. I am not interested at all. All important matters of the World Government can be decided by Chief Executive Mr. Zhan Guo on my behalf."

Seeing Bane pretending to be in pain with his head covered, Ian smiled helplessly, then took the document and said, "Okay, I will convey your intention to the World Government again."

But after saying this, Ian shook the Den Den Mushi in his hand and said, "Putting aside the things in the World Government, there are still many people complaining in Melville, such as Lieutenant General Dorr and others. After learning about the Dark Gate Project, they all hope to follow you to travel through the world. In their words, it is to protect the king."

"I appreciate your kindness." Bane curled his lips, and then said: "Tell them that they will definitely not be left out, but the sea is not yet truly stable, and the navy still needs to guard it strongly. For example, isn't the East China Sea where we are now still experiencing a war? We want the lives of those bastard nobles who were once loyal to the Celestial Dragons, so of course they will fight to the death. And the West China Sea, anyway, this is the current situation, the navy needs to stabilize the situation, and they can't all be led by me. Next time, when we bring back good news, they will have to go out and fight."

After the Battle of Marijoa, the Melview Navy immediately made a series of personnel changes, such as Zephyr became the commander-in-chief of the entire army from marshal, Bane became marshal, and Sakaski became admiral.

But this series of changes has not yet stabilized. Because Bane and others are going to find a way to build a portal, the navy has made top-level changes again.

Admiral Yixiao of the Melville Navy has stepped down. Although he retains the rank of admiral, he will no longer serve as admiral. The position will be filled by Borsalino, the former "admiral candidate".

Now, the navy has really returned to the old version.

Kuzan, Sakaski and Borsalino are the three generals again!
Although Bane did not resign as the Grand Admiral, he delegated the duties of the Grand Admiral to Marijoa's Chief Executive, Sengoku, who now exercises the power of the Grand Admiral on his behalf.

When Bane made this decision, he did not even discuss it with Zhan Guo.

When Zhan Guo learned about this in Mary Joa, he was so angry that he started cursing and even wanted to quit his job. He was already eighty years old and had already retired. He had finally enjoyed a few days of happy life when he was appointed as the Chief Executive of the World Government.

That would have been fine, as he still felt some novelty and anticipation for something he had never done before. Then he met Dorager, the king of papers. It seemed as if there was endless work piling up on his desk every day, and Dorager's proposals alone accounted for at least 40% of the work.

After finally getting used to Dragon's strength, he turned around and found that Admiral Bane was running away. And now he, the Chief Executive who has nothing to do with the Navy, is going to exercise the power of Admiral on his behalf?

If he exercises it on his behalf, wouldn't that mean he is just working for Bane?
The salary hasn't increased, but the workload has increased so much?
I'm 80 years old, okay? Do I have to go this hard?

The reason given by Bane was also "convincing", that is, the three generals Kuzan, Sakaski and Borsalino have all worked under you, the old marshal, for decades and are very accustomed to this situation. You will definitely be able to use them with ease.

In particular, although the navy is still carrying out a series of military operations, how should I put it? The strength of the top level is not high. The three admirals can basically handle most situations and have enough authority to handle more than 90% of the navy’s current affairs, so there are not many things that really need Zhan Guo to measure.

In the end, Bane had to enforce this order in the name of "World Government Cantis" before Zhan Guo "surrendered" and took over the position of marshal.

All of a sudden, the navy seemed to have really returned to the time before the Battle of Marineford in 1520.

The following three years were like a vicious circle.

The only change is that Zhan Guo has become the highest authority in the government of the Marijoa world. If his age was not too unsuitable for the actual requirements, he would be like Bane's prince, regent in Marijoa.
