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

Chapter 139 Comrade Benn, whose reputation is infamous.

With a kick to Urouge's bloodied head, Bane shouted expectantly, "Hey, hurry up, activate your power, stand up, let me see just how strong you can get!?"

However, Urki was very uncooperative and didn't say a word, just kept his head down and didn't utter a sound.

"Is he dead?" After kicking him twice, Bane's expression froze. He quickly squatted down and placed one hand on Urki's carotid artery.

After a moment, Bane's expression relaxed again, and he sighed, saying, "You're still here without making a sound since you're not dead. It seems your Devil Fruit ability isn't as powerful as I thought."

It's obvious that Uroki's development of his abilities is not yet complete, and his upper limit is too low. He collapsed before Bane even exerted his full strength.

Of course, it could also be due to poor health; he may look big, but he's actually quite weak.

However, this also reveals the flaw of this fruit's ability: once it exceeds the limit of its own capacity, the 'cause and effect' will not work!

"Only someone who can really take a beating is suitable for this kind of fruit. This guy looks big and burly, but he's not actually that tough," Bane said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

Forget it, let's not dwell on it. Let's take the Devil Fruit power back and let Waver make his own choice. Why should he worry about this? Providing him with the power is already more than enough, okay?

Having put that thought aside, Bane stood up again and looked around.

At the same time, the dust and smoke that had just risen from the impact and surrounded him gradually dissipated.

The once bustling "arena" has now become deserted. There is no one within a hundred meters of Bane. Kidd and Trafalgar Law were also blown away by the shockwave from Bane's slam into the ground.

However, they were still "great pirates" with bounties of over 100 million, and the shockwave was not enough to defeat them. The two of them had already gotten up from the ground, adjusted their posture, and surrounded Bane with great vigilance, their moods very heavy.

In particular, when the smoke cleared and they saw Urki, who had been so arrogant just moments before, now lying on the ground with his head buried in a pit, seemingly dead, the psychological pressure was even greater.

Urouge, who was also among this year's "Supernovas," was instantly killed, demonstrating the formidable strength of the newcomer!

Thinking of this, Kidd quickly focused his gaze on Bane's face. Everything had happened so fast that he hadn't even seen who it was!

Then, the next second, his expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, somewhat bewildered, "Bane!?"

Bane has been a hot topic in the media lately, and his performance in the Marineford War was also quite outstanding. He fought Kaido, awakened his Conqueror's Haki, and assisted Admiral Borsalino and another unknown expert in defeating the strongest man, Whitebeard.

It has the ability to generate buzz, and it has the talent to create a buzz!

Kidd recognized him at a glance, and at the same time, an uncontrollable sense of panic arose in his heart. Bane was killing indiscriminately on the battlefield and ruthlessly stealing the abilities of other ability users, and this was all being broadcast live.

Now everyone knows that Bane's Dark-Dark Fruit can suppress Devil Fruit users, and after killing them, he can also steal their Devil Fruit abilities.

As a result, Bane's reputation among ability users is now extremely bad.

As a user of superpowers, Kidd instinctively felt something was wrong when he saw Bane!

It felt like prey had met its hunter!

"Bloody Hands, Black Heart." Trafalgar Law, holding the famous sword Ghost Cry, looked at Bane with great vigilance.

Hearing this address so abruptly left Bane somewhat bewildered. He turned to Trafalgar Law and asked, "Wait, what did you just call me?"

"Bane, the Bloodhanded, Black-Hearted Ability Hunter, that's what everyone calls you now." Trafalgar Law was somewhat annoyed that he had spoken too quickly and called him by that nickname to his face, but he still explained.

"Who the hell gave me this name?" Bane was furious and cursed.

This isn't the world of One-Punch Man. He's just passing through to train for a bit. It doesn't matter if people call him a black devil killer, a race knight, a rancher, or whatever. It won't have any impact anyway.

This is the world he plans to build his base in, and he's being called something like "Bloody Hands and Black Heart," a name that sounds like a vulgar villain. How could he not be angry?

"Once I become a vice admiral, I'll have to get the Navy's public relations department to clean up my reputation properly," Bane said with determination.

Seeing that Bane wasn't making any more moves and seemed rather concerned about his reputation, Law breathed a slight sigh of relief. He then glanced at the serious-looking Kidd and asked, "Bane, what are you doing here? What exactly is your identity now? Everyone's very curious."

Bane grinned and said, "I'm a candidate naval officer now."

Before he could even finish speaking, Kidd, upon hearing the word "Navy," immediately ordered his men, "Spread out and evacuate!"

Trafalgar Law cursed under his breath, calling him a "lackey," before shouting, "Run! Don't let that bastard Kidd take your place!"

Bane?

What are you doing?

Am I that scary?

He didn't even consider that during the live stream, he first brutally smashed Joz's head, turning it into a pulpy mess that couldn't be pieced back together, like he was pounding garlic. Then he tortured Marco until he was like a rag doll, using extremely cruel and tyrannical methods, and even tried to steal his opponent's abilities.

How can this image be good?

Trafalgar Law and Kidd were both very certain that they were no match for Bane, especially since Bane's abilities could counter them!

So, to avoid ending up like Marco and Jozu, the obvious choice is to run away!

Although he really wanted to chat with Trafalgar Law to discuss whether there was any room for cooperation, such as joining forces to take down the entire Donquixote Family. Yes, Bane was very envious of the Donquixote Family. Doflamingo had a lot of good stuff, and there were many very good Devil Fruit users among his officers. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could take them all down in one go?

Trafalgar Law knows the Don Quixote family very well, so who knows, he might be able to help in some way, such as filling in any gaps or omissions.

But Bane decided to deal with Kid first. He took a deep breath and his eyes locked onto the most eye-catching red-haired boy, Kid, in the chaotic group of fleeing pirates!

He wanted to test his Conqueror's Haki and see if he could accurately use it to intimidate a single target.

Slowly channeling his Conqueror's Haki, Bane was just about to unleash it when he saw the direction Kid was fleeing. Suddenly, rolling yellow sand began to rise, and wherever the sand passed, the lush green grasslands of the Sabaody Archipelago turned withered and yellow. Even the giant mangrove trees seemed to be drying up.

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

"Hellfire Storm: Sandstorm!"

Fubuki's slightly chilling voice came from afar, and the rolling yellow sand instantly swallowed up the figures of Kidd and his group, obscuring all their surroundings.

"And who are you, you stinking woman? You dare to cause me trouble? I might not be able to beat that Bane, but I can certainly beat you!?"

Kidd's arrogant words echoed from the dusty landscape.

But soon, his voice turned surprised.

"Logia type!? Impossible, how could there be a Logia type of this kind of Devil Fruit? Isn't that Crocodile's ability? You...you're Bane's subordinate? You killed Crocodile!?"

At this moment, amidst the yellow sand, Kidd's expression was extremely grim as he waved his mechanical arm, composed of various metal parts, attempting to pull the woman out of the sandstorm.

In the next instant, a wisp of yellow sand suddenly formed behind Kidd, quickly transforming into the figure of Fubuki. Kidd's reaction speed was also very fast; he swung his heavy mechanical arm backhand, smashing Fubuki into pieces, but it was to no avail.

Kidd didn't bring any water, and since he didn't have any Haki at the moment, he was at a great disadvantage when facing a Logia-type Devil Fruit user like Fubuki.

Strands of yellow sand swirled rapidly upwards through the gaps in Kidd's mechanical arm. Kidd noticed this and used his ability to instantly disassemble his mechanical arm, trying to expel the sand inside, but it was too late.

The moment his mechanical arm spread out, the yellow sand instantly transformed into the figure of Fubuki, who then grabbed Kid's wrist.

"It seems I was too cautious. Your strength is weaker than I expected," Fubuki said, her brows furrowed slightly, somewhat displeased.

She tested you for so long, and it turns out you can't be assertive at all? Then why were you so arrogant just now?

The moment the words left her lips, Fubuki's Sand-Sand Fruit power was activated, and Kid's muscular arm was instantly drained of moisture, turning him into a dried-up mummy. This state spread throughout Kid's entire body almost instantly.

When the yellow sand dispersed, all that could be seen were the corpses of the pirates' underlings, all of them dried up, as if they had been lost in the desert for decades. Fubuki stood among the corpses, holding Kid's "dried corpse" in her hand, her expression somewhat unsatisfied.
