From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 319: New Dar City, I’m back!

After all, they still have to return to New Dar City, which makes Bane feel a little emotional.

However, people have no attachment to the basically worthless city of Fronick.

Fubuki quickly found the younger brothers she had gathered in the past few days and arranged two pickup trucks. Without any delay, the group began to move to New Dal City.

In fact, with everyone's speed, ordinary vehicles can't match them, but that would be too conspicuous, and there was no time difference, so they decided to go there in a low-key manner by taking a pickup truck.

It took nearly half a month, and without encountering any trouble along the way, Bane and his companions arrived in New Dal City very smoothly.

Although he hadn't been here for a few years, Bane was still quite familiar with the city.

Compared to the dilapidated and unmanaged city of Fronik, the once chaotic city of Newdal is more prosperous and orderly. Perhaps it is because there are still true rulers here, the Olantok family?

Sindar is a modern city. There are no city walls or anything like that. There are only some checkpoints set up in the main traffic areas, similar to toll booths.

Perhaps it was because the order of the empire had collapsed and there were already many people fleeing everywhere, or perhaps it was because the people in the West had always been tough. Before Bane left, this place was full of gangs and all kinds of people. It was not appropriate to conduct a detailed investigation of the people coming and going.

Therefore, the Orlantok family did not impose any strict control such as martial law here. As long as the toll is paid, one can enter and exit freely.

The pickup truck drove through the city streets and finally stopped steadily at an intersection on Sphinx Street.

Bane pushed open the door and got off the pickup truck. He looked at an old building opposite and said with a touch of nostalgia in his eyes, "I used to live on the third floor opposite, but I sold the house before I left. I'm not bragging, I was the one who protected Sphinx Street."

"Yes, yes, Boss Cantis." Nami complained as she got out of the car.

"Go ask around on this street and see who doesn't know my name, Bane?" Bane said pretentiously.

Instead of looking for the house that had been sold, everyone planned to find a decent hotel to rest.

Compared to the abandoned hotel in Fronicke, the city order here is still there, at least on the surface, people can still live a normal life, various infrastructures are still functioning, and there is naturally no need to say more about the hotel.

Bane was rich and powerful, and he carried a large amount of gold with him. Like a local tyrant, he quickly led everyone to find an underground gold exchange on Sphinx Street. The boss had been replaced, and Bane didn't know him, but it didn't affect anything.

A large amount of pesos were exchanged for gold. Yes, even if the imperial order collapsed, there were not many so-called imperial silver dollars in the West, and the mainstream currency was still the peso.

After exchanging enough cash, everyone rushed to the Haoke Hotel in the city center. There was no need to check any ID card procedures. As long as the money was in place, no one in the West would care what you were doing or what your identity was. Not to mention that the empire was now in a state of overwhelm.

Bane and his crew booked the entire top three floors of the mansion in one go, and settled down in the city of New Dal.

In the luxurious suite, Bane and others were checking all the facilities in the room.

It took about ten minutes for everyone to gather in the living room. After looking at each other, they all sat down on the sofa as if they were relaxed.

"It seems that we are worrying too much. There is no eavesdropping device." Karp said carelessly.
"It's better to be careful." Teacher Zefa said while brewing tea.

Bane stretched his body and said, "The information we know now is that the Orlantok family built a manor in the suburbs with the gate as the center. Their base camp is there. They control all the city defense forces of Newdar City. There are 3,000 people. The specific number and strength of people with special abilities are unknown, but considering my previous impression, there are not many people with special abilities in the city defense forces of Newdar, and there are no strong ones. But I don't know about the Orlantok family. They must have their own noble private soldiers or hired masters. In addition, they have mastered this gate for half a year. It is very likely that they have obtained strange abilities or helpers from another world."

"In your impression, what level of strength do the strong people in this world have?" asked Teacher Zefa.

"I heard that there were many strong people in the central area of the empire, especially in the imperial capital. Our local ability users are divided into S, A, B, C, D, and E levels. I used to be an E-level ability user registered in the empire, and my strength is probably at the level of street gang backbone members." Bane's tone sank and he began to introduce. "The higher you go, the stronger you are. For example, C-level ability users are generally masters of western cities. As far as I remember, the commander of the city defense army in New Dar City was a C-level ability user. His information is relatively public. His specific ability is flame manipulation. I haven't seen him take action, but it is said that he once fought against thousands of people on the western battlefield, manipulated hundreds of meters of flames to turn into dragons, and burned all the enemies to death," Bane said.

The value of the phrase "Flame-Flame Fruit, even dogs won't eat it" is still increasing.

"Is the strength similar to that of a natural ability user?" Zefa asked with a little surprise.

"No, at least this city defense officer cannot be elementalized, and does not have the possibility of manipulating huge energy like the natural system." Bane denied it immediately.

After thinking for a while, Bane said, "Based on our navy's original system, I think the bounty is about 50 million."

"That doesn't look very good." Karp curled his lips.

"But those at levels S, A, and B are collectively referred to as 'high-level ability users'. They are completely different from the standards of the subsequent three levels. Those at level B are already capable of serving as commanders of the Empire's regular legions." Bane said with a serious expression.

Of course, there are many B-level ability users, but very few legion commanders. It can only be said that only those who reach B-level are qualified to step into this threshold.

Moreover, there is a huge gap between Class B. It goes without saying that the strong will always be strong.

"Generally speaking, according to the official statement, a B-level ability user has the power to suppress a large city. The so-called large city refers to a city with a population of about one million. The Empire divides cities into capital-level, super-large cities, large cities, and cities. In other words, there is no distinction between cities with a population below one million, like New Dar, with a population of about 300,000, but now it is unknown. A B-level ability user is considered a hero among millions of people." Bane gestured.

However, as far as Bane knows, there are many B-level ability users, and it is not true that there is only one in a million. Ultimately, he himself does not have enough understanding of the strong people in the empire, so his expression is vague and he does not have an accurate concept.

After all, he was just a street thug in a chaotic city in the west, and his information channels were not up to standard.

"As for the gap between A-level and B-level, I don't understand. But even though they are both 'high-level users' in the eyes of 'low-level users' like us, since they are divided into different levels, it means there is definitely a huge gap in strength between them, not to mention the S-level. When the Royal Guards were coming to the west to suppress the rebellion, the rumor alone made us restless and we ran away for fear of being involved. The commander of the Royal Guards is an S-level user. It is said that the entire Royal Guards has sixteen S-level masters. I don't know their specific battle records, but I have only heard of one that they once followed the Dragon Emperor of the Empire to destroy a world inside a portal." Bane said this with a serious expression.

"In other words, if we gather a certain number of S-class experts, we will have the power to destroy the world?" Zefa's expression became serious.

"Of course, we can't calculate it that way. If the S-class was that strong, the Imperial City wouldn't have been destroyed by those monsters that emerged from an inexplicable portal. The Dragon Emperor couldn't have died so easily. After all, he is also S-class." Bane pondered for a moment and added.

"Without knowing the strength of those monsters, we naturally cannot measure the strength of these S-class ones. In the final analysis, we still have to fight them, or get more accurate information to make a judgment. However, it is almost certain that it is unlikely that there are people with abilities above B-class in the New Dal City, right?" Zefa said after thinking for a while.

"Yes, the resources are here. Although New Dal currently looks stronger than the previous Fronnick, at least it has maintained order. But in the final analysis, it is just a western city with a population of about 300,000. The real strong ones will not live here permanently." Bane nodded.

Unless there is a portal that deserves attention here, why would those strong men come to this rural place instead of enjoying themselves in higher-end cities?
Although the imperial order has collapsed, there is no doubt that the super-large urban areas in the central region, which are home to a large population of tens of millions, are the stage for the truly powerful.

The same is true for those ambitious people. They have always believed that only heroes who have captured central cities such as Chang'an, Jinling, and Luoyang dare to raise the royal flag and fight for hegemony over the world.

How could anyone claim to be the king just by taking over a small county? Even if there were, at most they would just be entertaining themselves behind closed doors.

This is the importance of urban resources. Smoker could grow quickly and become a vice admiral in the headquarters of the navy, but he has been a navy in Rogue Town in the East China Sea for so many years and is still a colonel. Moreover, his strength is getting worse and worse. It's the same principle.

"According to your logic, there can't be any truly strong people in the Orlantok family?" Cap asked again.

"I don't think it's possible." Bane nodded confidently and said, "The Orantok family started out as pioneering nobles, without much family heritage. If there were even strong people above level B, they wouldn't still be a baron family now. Judging from this, we should be able to suppress them easily now."

Although he didn't say it, Bane felt that those S-level masters might be a little more humble. Those A-level masters were probably at the level of Wang Zhi and Huang Mu, right?
Bane didn't have much basis for his instinctive guess about the Four Emperors like Newgate and Kaido, or the veteran admirals of the navy like Sakaski and Kuzan. They should be considered to have reached the S-level standard, right?
After all, judging from their performance, they all have the ability to easily destroy super-large cities with a population of tens of millions.

　I have some things to do in the next few days, so I will update twice a day at first, and then there will be a few chapters for transition. Then it’s time to enter the new world. Please support me with your votes!
