Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 144 Trafalgar Law: I can help you take down Shiki!!!

"I absolutely cannot give you my heart so easily!" Trafalgar Law said with great resistance.

He was willing to feign compliance with Bane here, willing to "live on" here, because he didn't want to die yet. And the reason he didn't want to die was to keep this life to kill that bastard Doflamingo, to avenge Mr. Corazon, and to avenge his past self!

But if he were to hand over his heart to Bane here, he would be completely at Bane's mercy, with almost no chance of resisting Bane in the future. What difference would that make from death? At least for Trafalgar Law, it makes no difference. He still has to kill Doflamingo, so how could he possibly entrust his life to Bane?

Trafalgar Law was very resistant, but Bane only heard the word "easy".

I would never easily entrust my heart to you.

In fact, when Trafalgar Robben uttered those words, they already contained a lot of hidden information: he didn't mind selling his heart, as long as the other party could "afford" it.

Trafalgar Law, who had rejected Bane, gripped the Ghost Cry on the wall with one hand, his eyes filled with wariness, as if he were ready to tear off all ties with Bane and fight to the death at any moment.

Instead of speaking, Bane continued eating the food on the table.

This made Trafalgar Law feel somewhat uncomfortable; he was suddenly caught in a dilemma and didn't know how to continue.

About ten minutes later, Bane ate the last delicious and succulent poisonous fish on the table, then picked up his teacup, took a sip of fragrant tea, and rinsed his mouth.

"You're clearly resisting death, so why are you rejecting me? Didn't you see what happened to Kidd and the others? You don't think that just because I've been relatively friendly to you, you can talk back to me like this?" Bane asked in a very calm tone.

Trafalgar Law's expression shifted several times with complex emotions. He knew this might be his last chance to speak to Bane.

It's quite possible that if he's not satisfied with what I said, I might really have to say goodbye to the world.

"Death is not terrible; what is terrible is leaving with regrets you can't let go of," Trafalgar Law said solemnly.

Then, before Bane could even speak, he quickly said, "I want to make a deal with you!"

Bane paused for a moment, then looked at Trafalgar Law with amusement and said, "What do you have to offer me in exchange? The Op-Op Fruit? You're not thinking of talking about some kind of immortality surgery, are you?"

This really surprised Trafalgar Law, after all, this matter was a very secret, known only to a very few people in the world. He didn't expect that Bane would also know about it.

However, Trafalgar Law quickly shook his head and said, "Of course not. I don't think you would really consider something so ethereal as a bargaining chip worth anticipating. You say you need to accumulate enough merit in a short period of time? Then I'll trade this with you!"

Upon hearing this, Bane raised an eyebrow and said, "Tell me about it."

To be honest, given Trafalgar Law's current level, Bane doesn't have high expectations for him. To reiterate, the reason he treats Trafalgar Law differently is essentially because he's influenced by his original memories and has a better impression of the kid.

As for the likes of Wang Zhi and Doflamingo, they can only be considered as added value.

If Trafalgar Law couldn't reciprocate his initial "goodwill," Bane intended to eliminate him right there in Sabaody Archipelago.

Out of this initial goodwill, Bane decided to listen to Trafalgar Law's so-called "deal".

He didn't take it seriously, but the kid's next words shattered Bane's composure.

"The head of Shiki the Golden Lion!" Trafalgar Law said in a deep voice, "How about it? The legendary flying pirate, a top figure who can be ranked alongside the Pirate King Roger and Edward Newgate, his stature is enough for the merit you need, right? Or maybe add Wang Zhi, whom you just mentioned!?"

Shiki the Golden Lion had made a brief appearance during the Marineford War, but he barely participated in the battle. He watched the entire war from high above as an observer, then simply flew away.

The Navy doesn't seem to have much interest in this bigwig.

But in reality, it was because the Navy had no way to deal with him for a long time. It was only recently, with the appearance of Issho, that Shiki was no longer so "unattainable". However, at that time, the focus of the war was not on Shiki, and Issho was not yet a real Navy officer, so no major incidents occurred.

If there's a next time, as long as Yi Xiao is there, see if the Navy will take action against him.

It seems that Shiki felt the pressure from Issho's abilities during the Marineford War, and after returning to the New World, he disappeared again and did not, like the other ambitious individuals, jump out to stir up trouble.

Speaking of Shiki, his early life can be described as smooth sailing. He went to sea to become a pirate, quickly obtained the power of the Float-Float Fruit, and had extremely high swordsmanship talent. Thanks to the strong life-saving effect of the Float-Float Fruit, he really turned his talent into extremely strong strength in the dangerous industry of piracy.

Then, he invested his own money and became one of the original shareholders of the once-popular Rocks Pirates. During this time, he accumulated enough prestige and experience. After the God Canyon battle, the Rocks Pirates disbanded, and Shiki became the most successful of all the shareholders at that time.

He once reigned supreme in the New World, was hailed as the next "Rocks," and was known as the Pirate Admiral. He was extremely arrogant and domineering, relying on his ability to come and go as the wind, and looked down on everyone. Even the World Government had no way to deal with him.

At that time, Shiki was practically the only king of the New World. In terms of power and influence, even Whitebeard was inferior to him.

Then, Shiki met his lifelong nemesis. As the saying goes, meeting Roger once ruins your life. When Shiki first met Roger, the Rocks Corporation, in which he invested, went bankrupt and dissolved, and even the chairman was killed. When Shiki met Roger a second time, he almost lost everything. He went from being an unparalleled top pirate boss to a comical figure with the ship's rudder stuck on his head. His massive pirate fleet that dominated the New World was also destroyed by a sudden storm.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Just like that saying goes, a rainstorm ruined my One Piece dream!

This also proves that no matter how strong you are, if you encounter a chosen one, you will inevitably fail.

Then, Shiki stormed Marine Headquarters, was imprisoned, broke through Impel Down's impenetrable defenses, and disappeared without a trace until he reappeared during the recent Marineford War.

His later life was incredibly difficult.

It wasn't just Shiki; meeting Roger ruined his life. On this vast ocean, there were too many big shots who were ruined by Roger.

The two most typical examples are Whitebeard and Garp.

Roger raised a son for so many years, only to end up with nothing and almost get himself killed in the process.

One of them actually became Roger's son's godfather, and then died without a burial place, his life's work vanishing into thin air.

It can only be said that living in the same era as someone like Roger was both a blessing and a misfortune for these maritime heroes.

Now, Trafalgar Law says he wants to kill Shiki, a legendary pirate boss, and will use that to make a deal with Bane. It has to be said that although Bane thinks it's a bit unreliable, he is still very tempted!

The tense atmosphere in the private room immediately dissipated, and Bane's face regained its friendly smile. "Little Luo, why are you so nervous? Relax, come, have some tea, and tell me about this in detail."
