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

Chapter 141 Ability Hunting, Explosive Kill of Supernovas!

While Bane shattered Trafalgar Law's pirate dream with a single punch, Zoro, carrying Apoo whose arm had been cut off, walked over from a distance.

Fubuki did the same, grabbing Kid, who had turned into a dried-up corpse but was still barely clinging to life, and walked to Bane's side.

"An unexpected surprise." Zoro tossed Apoo, who was clutching his arm and groaning but whose eyes were actually darting around, secretly looking for an escape opportunity, at Bane's feet.

"What a pleasant surprise," Bane said with a smile. "Our intelligence said that this guy hadn't been spotted and might not have even arrived at Sabaody Archipelago yet. Oh well, it's not a big deal anyway."

"First of all, I have never provoked you at all," Ap quickly said, seemingly sensing Bane's murderous aura.

"You ambushed me while we were talking, so you attacked us first," Zoro said to Apoo with a very serious expression.

Ap was itching to speak after hearing this, and couldn't help but say, "You suddenly appeared next to me and started talking to me out of the blue. What's wrong with me striking first against a dangerous person like you? It's perfectly reasonable, isn't it?"

"Are you trying to reason with me?" Zoro frowned, placing his hand on the three 'Truth' swords at his waist, and said somewhat displeased.

Apoo immediately admitted defeat, saying, "It was my fault. I shouldn't have become a pirate, but I had no choice back then. For the past six months, I've been regretting it constantly, not a single night has passed without me feeling remorse. If I hadn't almost made that mistake and entered the pirate industry, maybe I could have become a DJ, or even an idol. You know, I like singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball, not fighting and killing."

As he said this, he was sobbing uncontrollably that anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was genuinely repentant.

But the next second, before Zoro could speak or Apoo could finish his confession, Fubuki's expression was one of impatience. She raised her hand and swept it across Apoo's body. As her arm passed through Apoo's body, it seemed to transform into a scimitar of yellow sand. In a flash, all the moisture in Apoo's body was instantly taken away by Fubuki, turning him into a dried-up corpse, making him a perfect match for Kid.

"This guy named Akun has a voice like a male duck, it's so annoying how he keeps chattering. You don't actually believe he'll repent, do you?" Fubuki glared at Zoro and said.

Bane really wanted to remind her that this guy's name was Apoo, not Akun, but considering that Fubuki did have a bit of an otherworldly accent, he decided to let it go and save her face.

Zoro, feeling slighted by Fubuki's underestimation, retorted defiantly, "Do you think I'm some greenhorn? If he really regretted becoming a pirate, could he really become a Supernova with a bounty of over 100 million? Of course I don't believe his nonsense, I just want to hear how far he can go with this lie."

As Zoro spoke, he instinctively glanced at Trafalgar Law, who was standing among the crowd, trembling and not daring to move.

Trafalgar Law seemed to have noticed his look as well, and was quite annoyed. A greenhorn? Trying to pick me, huh?

However, due to the circumstances, he dared not show it.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Bane was somewhat helpless as he watched Fubuki and Zoro start bickering.

Although it's frustrating, I've gotten used to it. Zoro has never argued with Issho, but he can't keep up with Nami and Fubuki. They start arguing after just a few words, and he always ends up getting beaten up. Even Nami, if she gets angry, will fight him. Zoro is interesting; he's clearly stronger than them, but he never fights back when he gets beaten.

He was the one who suffered the loss, but he still hasn't learned his lesson.

However, Bane could also sense that this kind of arguing seemed to be a way for Zoro to communicate with them, and the more they argued, the closer they became.

He stopped Zoro and Fubuki from their pointless bickering. At the same time, Bane reached out and grabbed Apoo by the neck as he was about to fall to the ground. His first feeling upon touching him was that he was incredibly light. No wonder he was a man who had been completely drained of moisture.

Then, Bane effortlessly unleashed dark power from his hands, instantly enveloping Ap. Without the slightest hesitation, he snapped Ap's neck, ending his dream of becoming a singing and dancing idol and sending him back to the drawing board for a fresh start.

Then, under Trafalgar Law's horrified and uneasy gaze, Bane moved with remarkable fluidity and ease, as if he had practiced it dozens of times, and personally forged a brand new Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the Sound-Sound Fruit.

"I feel this fruit's ability is too awkward," Bane said casually, weighing the freshly made Devil Fruit in his hand before tossing it into his personal dark space.

Before he could speak again, Fubuki had already lifted the dried-up corpse Kid that she was holding in her other hand and pressed it against Bane's face, saying, "You kept talking about him, and I thought he was some kind of powerful character. He even tested me several times before daring to really make a move, but I was very disappointed. He's too weak. In my hometown, he'd be at most a Tiger-level monster."

"You've really seen big scenes. Your first battle at sea was a peak event like the Marineford War, where you faced opponents like Marco. Naturally, you look down on these newcomers." Bane said with amusement as he listened to Fubuki's complaints.

But he couldn't help but retort, "Besides, this kid has destroyed several towns, you can tell from his face that he's capable of anything except good deeds. If I had to categorize him, he could be considered a Ghost-level being, right?"

"I don't think so. He's not as memorable as the black rancher," Zoro said, unusually casting his vote for Fubuki.

"Hey, I'll sue you for racism if you say that!" Bane said, ready to argue with the two of them.

However, Fubuki didn't give him a chance to show off, urging, "Hurry up, this place is boring and won't help improve my strength at all. If I had known it would be like this, I would have stayed at Marine Headquarters and trained Haki with Master Zephyr."

As soon as she finished speaking, Urouge, who was lying on the ground, seemed to wake up and groaned in pain, as if he couldn't understand what situation he was in.

He was dizzy and struggled to get up from the ground, but the next second, Bane kicked him directly in the temple, slapping him back into a baby-like sleep.

"You didn't answer when I called you earlier. Now that I'm busy, get up. Don't you have any sense?" Bane cursed irritably, then with practiced ease, grabbed Kidd by the neck and took him from Fubuki's hands.

Seeing this, Trafalgar Law became even more panicked. Was this some kind of torture? Killing these people one by one in front of me and then taking their abilities?

What kind of torture is this?

Even Trafalgar Law could guess what Bane's next move would be.

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

Sure enough, with a snap, just like squeezing a chick, Bane snapped Kid's neck, ending the guy's pirate dream. In no time, the Paramecia-type Magnet-Magnet Fruit appeared in Bane's hand.

"I'll give it to Genos as a gift when we meet again," Bane said with a satisfied expression and a smile.

Zoro was very supportive, saying, "No problem. This fruit's ability should suit him well. After all, that guy is very careless and sloppy. With this ability, he'll have more chances to turn the tables. And there, I think this ability can be more fully developed and utilized."

"Speaking of which, if I ever come across a suitable Devil Fruit in the future, I'd like to bring my sister a gift," Fubuki casually remarked from the side.

"A tornado?" Bane asked in surprise. "She's already that strong, why would she need to eat a Devil Fruit?"

"Anyway, there are no side effects, so isn't it nice to treat it as a novel experience? Don't you think it's interesting to receive a gift from your sister from another world?" Fubuki said enthusiastically.

Bane, too lazy to discuss these matters with her, stored the Magnet-Magnet Fruit into his dark space, then stomped on Urouge's neck and spine with another kick. A crack was heard, and the powerful force shattered Urouge's cervical vertebrae, causing the already severely injured Urouge to die instantly. Even in death, he didn't know who he had offended or who had killed him.

After a few breaths, Ulkin obtained the miraculous fruit of cause and effect. Thus, Bane had achieved all his goals in hunting for abilities in the Sabaody Archipelago.

At the same moment, Bane, Zoro, and Fubuki all turned their gazes toward Trafalgar Law, who was standing beside them.

Honestly, if an unsuspecting outsider were watching this scene, they would think Trafalgar Law was one of their friends!

Trafalgar Law's lips twitched slightly as he was instantly locked onto by the three men's gazes. He forced a smile and said, "Gentlemen, could you please give me a chance?"
