The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

Jon had no choice but to make up a story: "Well, if I guess correctly, this kind of eyes is called Sharingan. After being catalyzed by emotions, it can also become Mangekyō Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan..."

Everyone:? ? ?

……

……

the other side.

Ban finally saw the treasure he had been longing for in the royal treasury - the 'Horn of the Goddess (Cernanos' Horn)'.

The enormous horn, emitting a soft glow, appears extremely holy.

"This is... okay... Hello, goddess, goddess, are you there? I have something to talk to you about!" Ban quickly calmed down and returned to his usual rogue appearance, shouting in the empty underground cave.

No one answered.

Ben didn't want to give up: "Hey! Speak!"

They shouted again and again, but the huge horn remained silent.

Ban cursed angrily: "Fuck, you are dumb, right? What kind of magic weapon are you?"

hum-

Suddenly, there was a vibration from the 'Goddess's Horn'.

Ben was startled, but quickly calmed down and laughed, "Sorry, sorry, you're not angry, are you?"

“You who are sinful, do not be disrespectful.”

Ben's expression remained unchanged. "I heard that if you ask the goddess's horn, you can get all the answers and fulfill your wishes."

"You are a sinner, so there is no need to say more. I already know your intentions... As the price for resurrecting Elaine, you need to do something for me."

"It's a deal, right? I didn't expect the goddess to be so mercenary." Ban shrugged indifferently: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Kill Merry... Never mind, just bring Jon Joestar to me."

Chapter 736 Confrontation

"Let's put aside the matter of 'bring John Joestar here'. When you said 'kill Merry' earlier...did you mean Meliodas?"

Facing the 'Horn of the Goddess', Ban put his hands in his pockets and asked with squinted eyes: "Lady Goddess, don't you know that he is my beloved relative, brother and sister?"

"Don't be so rude!" The voice seemed very angry.

After a pause, he continued: "You who bear the sin, you don't know that the loved ones you mentioned are actually inextricably linked to the Demon Clan. In other words, Meliodas has the blood of the Demon Clan flowing in his body!"

"Ah?" Ben was a little incredulous: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Ban hated the demon clan and had long since sworn in his heart that he would never reconcile with all of them.

Now, the best friends have turned into demons?

This……

Ban narrowed his eyes and said, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Don't think I will spoil you just because you are a goddess."

"The evidence is clear. Meliodas is your enemy, not your friend."

"Tsk, you say it is? I said I was your father." Since he couldn't get anything out of him, Ban simply revealed his true colors: "You're not doing me any good at all. You just want me to run errands for you by talking. You're dreaming!"

"It is your honor to serve the Goddess Clan."

"Glory, fuck it." Ban's expression became more and more unfriendly: "I felt something was wrong just now. So, you are actually a liar, right?"

"How dare you slander the noble gods! That's unreasonable!" The voice seemed very angry.

The huge horn emitted a terrifying wave of magical power.

It fell on Ban's body, scratching his skin and flesh.

Of course, those wounds disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ban's expression was calm, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth: "That's it? The omnipotent goddess is just like this!"

You don’t even have the energy to hit anyone, and yet you still call yourself a high society?

Ben was utterly disappointed.

Can such a weak "goddess" really solve the problem of resurrection of the dead?

Ben was deeply suspicious.

"You are a sinner, you will eventually get the punishment you deserve. You are disrespectful to God..."

"Okay, okay, after all that talk, is there anything practical?" Ben waved his hand.

He is a pragmatist.

We never cheat, we always play with reality.

No matter whether you are a holy object left by the 'Goddess' or not, if I cannot use you, you are complete waste!

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

The voice was so angry that it was speechless.

Ban was unmoved and sneered, "I didn't see sincerity, but instead smelled a conspiracy. You don't want to use me to get rid of Jon Joestar and Meliodas, do you?"

He is not a fool. How could he attack the team leader just because of someone else's words for no reason?

After a long time, the voice sounded again: "Foolish mortal, the truth is right in front of you, but you choose to turn a blind eye. Touch the wound on your neck and think carefully, is Meliodas as pure and innocent as you think."

"Ha, that's definitely not the case. How can people like us be innocent?" Ban smiled, his face expressionless, but in the depths of his mind flashed the lifeless eyes of Meliodas when he was angry.

Pitch black and deep.

It's like a pool of water without any light.

Ban was secretly concerned.

At this time, the voice said again: "My conditions remain the same. Bring Jon Joestar here, or kill Meliodas, and I will teach you the knowledge to resurrect the dead."

After saying that, the 'Goddess's Horn' became silent, and even the soft light emanating from it dimmed, as if it had run out of energy.

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't want to chat anymore? Talk to me again, goddess!" Ban didn't want to let the other party go.

But no matter how he shouted, the voice did not respond.

Helplessly, he had to leave the underground treasure house first.

Come outside.

Marlene appeared from the darkness of the castle like a ghost, "How is it?"

"What did you say?" Ban didn't want others to know his private affairs, so he pretended to be stupid.

Marlene smiled in her usual mysterious way: "Kim's sister, your...lover, Elaine, you came here in a hurry, didn't you want to ask about resurrecting the dead?"

You can be a riddle man, but it is not necessary.

Facing Ben, the sin of gluttony chose to play a straight ball.

As Marlene spoke, Ben's expression turned a little grim.

People are divided into close and distant relatives.

Although they are all in the same class in the same regiment, Ban undoubtedly has a better relationship with Meliodas and King.

As for Marlene...

To be honest, he had a hard time dealing with this woman.

Seeing that Ben didn't say anything, Marlene didn't care and spoke on her own: "In fact, I have been researching the magic of resurrection, but I have made too little progress... Because it involves life and death, it has gone beyond the scope of ordinary magic. In other words, it is a power that only God can reach."

Changing the subject: "Did you know that among the major tribes back then, only the demon gods and goddesses were given the title of 'god'?"

Ban's heart was moved, but he said, "It doesn't matter what happens. Those things have nothing to do with me."

"If you want to revive the dead, it has something to do with you." Marlene was very strong, "Maybe you don't need to seek the help of that thing, I can fulfill your wish."

"You?" Ben looked at Marlene and suddenly smiled: "You should take down Jon Joestar first."

People are hard to break down.

Marlene couldn't hold it anymore.

When Ben saw this, his smile became even brighter: "Sorry, I'm not Escanor, your tricks won't work on me."

"I'm discussing something very serious with you." Marlene frowned, "Please don't mention irrelevant topics."

"You were the one who got involved in other people's business first." Ben had a murderous look on his face. "This is the first and last time, Marlene. Put away your curiosity. Elaine's affairs have nothing to do with you!"

Everyone has a bottom line.

Marlene had crossed a line.

"Okay, okay, I just provided an additional option." Marlene was unhappy, but she didn't get angry: "The research on the Fountain of Youth still falls on Ben. She doesn't want to offend such excellent experimental materials for the time being, so she still has to work hard to maintain a good relationship with him."

Watching Ben leave, Marlene's face immediately darkened.

But she reflected again.

I felt that I had made some mistakes in my judgment and shouldn't have chosen this sensitive time to talk to Ben.

Shaking her head and suppressing her insignificant apology, Marlene walked underground.

As luck would have it, she also had something to discuss with the Horn.

……

……

Without disturbing anyone, Ban quietly returned to the "Pig Hat" outside the city.

The night is getting darker

But the party was not over.

Ban's return brought the atmosphere to a new climax.

Except for Elizabeth and Piggy, who were already drunk and unconscious, and Jon who was nowhere to be seen, everyone gathered around.

"Drink, drink! Lord Jon made so many delicious dishes tonight!" Meliodas jumped up and hugged Ben's neck from behind, "Drink, drink, drink!"

Ben looked helplessly at the drinks of different colors around him, and reluctantly took them, holding five full cups in his two hands.

Tons tons tons tons...

Without saying a word, he started drinking.

"Wuhu!" It can be seen that Meliodas is really happy.

However, Ban was preoccupied and hesitated to speak.

"What's that expression on your face? Today is a day worth celebrating." Jin lay on his soft sleeping mat, his eyes blurry with drunkenness, "You'll have to drink three bottles of wine as punishment. Hurry and drink three bottles of wine as punishment!"

He usually has some conflicts with his class, and he loses all restraint when he drinks too much.

"You said I'd be fined three bottles, so I'll be fined three bottles. Why are you so proud?" Ban said unhappily.

Although he knew that he shouldn't spoil the fun at this time, it was undeniable that what had just happened in the treasury of the Royal Family of Lyonness had some impact on his mentality.

Taking a deep breath, Ban put down his glass and spoke to Meliodas very seriously: "Captain, I have a question for you. You must answer me truthfully."

"What's wrong?" Meliodas was a little confused, but he still looked generous and patted his chest: "If you have anything to say, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

"Very well, then let me ask...are you from the demon clan?" Ban calmly asked the question that concerned him most.

After he finished speaking, the scene became somewhat quiet.

Then, Jin and Diane sandwiched Ben on the left and right and questioned him.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Yes, yes, how could the leader be a demon?"

Gowther pushed up his glasses and looked at everything in front of him curiously.

At the outermost edge, Escanor held the wine glass carefully and said helplessly: "You can't fight. You must not fight."

I'm sorry for being human.
