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

Chapter 140 Shocking Trafalgar Law's First Punch!

Seeing that Fubuki had swiftly and decisively dealt with Kid's group, Bane stopped worrying about anything, turned around and unleashed his Observation Haki, quickly locking onto Trafalgar Law, who was about to disappear from his sight.

Thick black smoke erupted from Bane's hand, quickly engulfing the entire ground. Then, Bane raised his arm, pointing his palm at Trafalgar Law.

At this moment, Trafalgar Law was also running while looking back to observe the situation.

"That idiot Kidd! He was so arrogant just now, but he got killed in the blink of an eye. He's the worst of the worst!" Trafalgar Law cursed angrily.

It's only been a short time! And it's already failing?

Then he saw Bane unleash the darkness, and his heart sank. He said in surprise, "No way, it can work from this far? Impossible."

Bane's action was the same as when he forcibly sucked the phoenix flying in the sky during the live broadcast, so Trafalgar Law recognized it at a glance.

Somewhat disbelieving, Trafalgar Law felt his movements were greatly affected in the next instant!

It was as if with a "whoosh," a brute force began to pull at me from behind.

"Captain!" Bepo seemed to notice Law's embarrassment and immediately turned around to grab Law's arm.

As a Mink, and specifically a polar bear Mink, his physical strength was naturally considerable. He thought that with his strength, he could help his captain break free from the pull of gravity, but it was completely useless. The Dark-Dark Fruit's attraction to its user was irresistible!

In the blink of an eye, Law and Bepo were sucked into the air together, their figures rapidly retreating, flying backwards towards Bane's location.

"This ability is practically cheating!" Trafalgar Law cursed angrily, then kicked Bepo away.

His Op-Op Fruit ability has always been recognized as an extremely valuable Devil Fruit power, with a bounty of 5 billion Berries on the black market, almost as much as Whitebeard's head.

So although he never showed it, Luo was actually quite proud of his extremely valuable ability.

Moreover, this was the power that his Mr. Corazon risked his life to obtain for him!

But today, all he wants to do is curse!

Seeing that he was pulled back to within a hundred meters of Bane's location in just a few breaths, Trafalgar Law stopped thinking and decided to fight first!

He quickly flicked his fingers, and a strange aura of energy emanated from his body!

"ROOM: Slaughterhouse!"

Luo let out a low shout and used his power to form a huge semicircle, directly enveloping Bane's figure.

Then he moved extremely fast, his gaze quickly locking onto a small, broken stone beside Bane, and then he activated his ability!

The next second, Bane felt his power suddenly lighten. It wasn't a physical sensation, but a strange feeling. Then, he saw that Trafalgar Law, who was about to be caught, had escaped the pull of attraction. His figure in the air was replaced by a small pebble.

Because he was using Observation Haki the whole time, Bane immediately noticed that Trafalgar Law's figure had appeared beside him, having swapped positions with the small pebble in the air!

At the same moment, Trafalgar Law's longsword, Ghost Cry, was already drawn, imbued with his Devil Fruit power, and seemed to be covered with a light blue halo as he slashed down towards Bane's neck!

"Scalpel - Cut!" Luo said, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

There are still Bane's companions here, and they are all difficult to deal with. But it doesn't matter. As long as we cut off Bane's head with one stroke, we don't need to kill him. With this head, we can leave this place. Once we return to the submarine, we won't have to worry about being chased. Even the Navy can't do anything to us!

While thinking about these things, Law's gaze was also fixed on Bane, observing him. After all, facing a Dark-Dark Fruit user at such close range was too dangerous. He had already reserved several small objects at a distance that could switch places with his main body at any time. As soon as Bane made a move, he would quickly create distance and then make further considerations.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Luo seemed to vaguely see a hint of disdain in Bane's peripheral vision as the blade struck down.

Indeed, Trafalgar Law was still worried about whether Bane could dodge his attack, but Bane had no intention of dodging at all. He stomped his foot on the grass, instantly shattering the turf and sending it flying in all directions!

Immediately following, Ghost Cry, imbued with the power of the Op-Op Fruit, struck Bane's neck with a single blow!

With a clang of metal clashing, Trafalgar Law felt a sharp pain in his hand gripping the hilt of his knife, as if the web of his thumb had split open!

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that his strike had indeed hit its mark, but it was completely ineffective!

This was no ordinary slash, but a slash imbued with power. This was the source of Luo's confidence. His scalpel had never failed to strike anything within this space. No matter what kind of material it was, whether it was steel or alloy, it was like tofu in front of his power, offering no resistance whatsoever.

But the attack had no effect whatsoever, which shocked and puzzled Trafalgar Law, who looked extremely surprised.

At the same moment, Bane followed up his stomp with a powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki. His right arm was instantly covered by a surge of power, and then, a surge of energy rose from his heel, running up his waist and spine, and in the blink of an eye, it climbed up his muscular arm. The already firm muscles swelled up by more than half a circle, transforming into a dragon that rolled and surged along his bones, concentrating all his strength into this punch!

With a thunderous punch, the powerful force instantly transformed into a shockwave of extreme power, sweeping upwards and shattering the nearby hills in the blink of an eye, leaving a gaping hole resembling the trajectory of a railgun. Then, the massive No. 16 Yarqiman mangrove tree was struck by this shockwave-like fist force and exploded, sending wood chips flying everywhere. A fist-shaped hole, about forty or fifty meters in diameter, could be vaguely seen on the huge mangrove tree, completely piercing through its thick trunk!

The power of Bane's punch undoubtedly stunned the entire scene. Everyone looked at Bane, who had thrown the punch, with extremely shocked expressions.

At this moment, his fist lightly grazed Trafalgar Law's ear. Despite unleashing such fierce force and domineering power, it did not harm Trafalgar Law at all, who was so close at hand. The force of the punch merely blew off Trafalgar Law's spotted hat.

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

However, the feeling of walking alongside death for a moment is definitely not an illusion!

Trafalgar Law stood there blankly, still in the motion of swinging to behead Bane. However, after two breaths, the Ghost Cry in his hand seemed to slip out of his grasp and fell to the ground. It was at this moment that Trafalgar Law truly regained his senses and suddenly looked at Bane.

"What's with that surprised look on your face? Surprised that your strike didn't cut off my head? Kid, since you're somewhat to my liking, I'll mercifully tell you: abilities are nothing compared to what you can overcome with enough Haki. So if you ever enter the New World, don't be too overconfident in your abilities!" Bane chuckled, deflecting the fist that was pressed against Trafalgar Law's ear, and patted him on the shoulder. "Remember, only Haki can transcend all things!"

These are Kaido's golden words and life lessons!

Of course, after he finished speaking, someone used the power of the Nika Fruit to beat him to the ground and turn him into a drunkard.

Trafalgar Law looked at Bane, momentarily at a loss for words.

I'm surprised your neck is so stiff, can't you cut it?

Do you want to see just how powerful your punch really is?

During the live stream, although he had already witnessed the intense fight between Bane and Kaido, it still lacked a sense of realism that he couldn't experience firsthand. But now, he had felt the power of Bane's punches. Such punches, such power, and yet he was defeated by Kaido in this New World—it's simply unbelievable!

Just how terrifying are the real monsters on the high seas?
