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

Chapter 315 The Dark-Dark Fruit plus the Soul-Soul Fruit, outwardly manifested as evil energy?

Soon, everyone ate their respective Devil Fruits.

Unlike Bane's loss of control when he ate the Devil Fruit, back then he was just a nobody, a street thug who had nothing but brute strength and lacked self-control, which is why he lost control.

The people present today wouldn't make that mistake; even if they weren't familiar with it, they could at least keep their abilities under control.

"Hmm? That's strange." Robin ate the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit in her hand, her expression surprised. "It's completely different from the Flower-Flower Fruit I ate the first time. Is the Mythical Zoan type actually fragrant?"

As a former orthodox Devil Fruit user, Robin still has some psychological trauma regarding Devil Fruits, after all, the taste is just too indescribable.

This time, she was mentally prepared, approaching the fruit with the mindset of going to her execution. But after one bite, her mouth was filled with a refreshing fragrance and the sweet taste of fruit.

Zephyr was also somewhat surprised, saying, "Although I've never eaten a Devil Fruit, I've heard that it tastes unique. Now it seems that's all there is to it."

"That's right, that's right." Garp was even more nonchalant, finishing the Momo Fruit in just a few bites.

"Didn't I tell you? Anyway, in my experience, the food here tastes pretty good." Bane chuckled as he ate the Soul-Soul Fruit.

Ichisho, who hadn't planned on consuming another Devil Fruit, was completely dumbfounded. He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The taste of the Devil Fruit is like porridge that's been stale for three days mixed with a lump of durian, then a whole bottle of houttuynia cordata juice is poured in after it's been stirred together."

Bane, who had been enjoying a pleasantly fragrant meal, nearly vomited upon hearing this description. He quickly waved his hands, saying, "Stop talking, stop talking! This is the first time I've ever heard such a detailed description, ugh!"

The overwhelmingly positive feedback from Bane and the others made Yixiao question his life choices. He couldn't help but pick up a Devil Fruit from the table and stare at it intently, even though he had no sight, as if he was about to eat it and personally verify its taste.

Fortunately, after a moment, he finally put it down and said, "Could it be that the Devil Fruit I ate was expired?"

However, by this time, everyone had begun to feel the new power within their bodies, and no one continued the topic.

After consuming the Soul-Soul Fruit, Bane felt a surge of pleasure in the cells of his body, much like when he first ate the flesh of a sea monster that could enhance his body. Immediately following, a completely new power began to emanate within him.

Unlike the first time he ate the Dark-Dark Fruit, when he only possessed a single dark power, this time, the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit fused with the Dark-Dark Fruit within his body. This made the Dark-Dark Fruit, which had long been an instinctual source for Bane, seem to have evolved, or rather, the Dark-Dark Fruit was devouring the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, becoming a part of it.

With a sudden clench of his fist, a ghostly green soul power instantly bloomed in his hand. As Bane's gaze shifted, this ghostly green soul power gradually became tinged with the aura of dark elements, becoming even more eerie and mysterious.

If we were to use a similar analogy, it would be fel energy!

"Drink up, Cantilevery, this is the fate of the Navy."

The strange sound that suddenly rang in his ears made Bane laugh out loud instinctively.

"Hey, that smile of yours, combined with your ability, makes you look like a villain, Bane," Zoro couldn't help but retort after seeing Bane's appearance from the other side.

"A villain is the way to go. I have a soul in my left hand, darkness in my right, an old bull at my waist, and fel energy in my chest. No matter how you look at it, I'm a villain." Bane laughed heartily, not minding at all.

On the other side, Garp didn't seem to have changed much. He just clenched his fist and said, "It seems like there's something there. As long as I put my mind to it, I can make this punch stronger. That's probably some kind of vague feeling. But I still need to spend a few days figuring it out."

His Momo-Momo Fruit didn't have any particularly obvious form, while in comparison, Zephyr's hands already exuded a terrifying aura of destruction.

Just like the Whitebeard, the tremor power transformed into a transparent halo, wrapping around his hands. At this moment, the power was contained and not released, giving people an instinctive sense of crisis. If it were to be unleashed, the surrounding area would probably be reduced to ruins.

"That Newgate guy... his power is truly terrifying." Zephyr remarked as he slowly withdrew his strength, gradually absorbing the unfamiliar tremor into his body, not daring to experiment recklessly.

Like Garp, Webber hadn't changed much. However, Webber was a ruthless guy. He pulled out the dagger hanging from his belt, placed one hand on the table, and stabbed down with the other.

With a loud bang, Weber, holding a dagger, slammed his left hand hard into the table.

Crimson blood immediately flowed out. Despite the pain, his expression wasn't one of distress; instead, he became excited, shouting, "Power! I can feel power surging forth from within me!"

The Shandian warriors' style was too wild. As if he had tasted the sweetness, Weber took out the dagger that was nailed to the back of his hand and looked like he was about to stab himself in the chest twice.

Startled, Zoro and Nami quickly stepped forward to pull him away, saying, "That's enough, that's enough! Everyone knows you're a tough guy, don't do this!"

"I'm not crazy, I'm just testing my abilities," Waver said, looking embarrassed as Zoro held his arms.

Nami naturally conjured a blue flame in her hand and pressed it against Waver's wound. The blue flame quickly merged into the wound, causing the flesh to slowly heal.

"The Devil Fruit encyclopedia and related information all say that the Phoenix Fruit has a certain healing effect on external injuries. Marco was the ship's doctor on the Whitebeard Pirates back then, and now it seems that's true. I don't even need to develop it; I just use it instinctively. It should be a basic ability, right?" Nami said with a little excitement.

This was her first time becoming a Devil Fruit user, and also the first time she had used her ability.

Of course, it would feel novel.

"Maybe I have the potential to be a ship's doctor," Nami thought happily as she released Waver's wound and watched the blue flames burning on it slowly healing.

On the other side, Robin reached out and touched Fubuki's cheek, which puzzled Fubuki. But the next second, Robin's figure changed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into Fubuki's appearance. When the two stood together, it was impossible to tell the difference between them.

"As expected, this ability to transform is the basic ability of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and it can be used without development." 'Fubuki' took out a makeup mirror, looked at herself, and said in Robin's voice.

But in reality, she could also mimic the voice as well.

After a slight pause, Robin closed her eyes as if she were exerting her strength, or perhaps deep in thought. Everyone knew that she was definitely adjusting her abilities.

Sure enough, the next second, she opened her eyes, and then a little fox appeared on the table, as if it had grown out of the table. This little fox could even run and jump, and it was very lifelike.

"It's pretty simple, combining the nine-tailed fox with the Flower-Flower Fruit. With this power, it will be much easier to infiltrate and assassinate, or to gather intelligence," Robin said softly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she deactivated the transformation and quickly returned to her original appearance.

"Looks like everyone's pretty happy with their new abilities. What do you think, Ain? Hmm? Ain?" Bane said, then turned around and looked around, but Ain was nowhere to be seen.

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

This doesn't make sense, does it? She was standing right next to me just a moment ago.

Just as Bane was wondering what was going on, Ain's voice came from the ground behind him: "Young Master, I feel very good."

Following Ain's voice, everyone looked at the shadow behind Bane. Then, they saw Bane's shadow ripple like a pool of water, and then Ain walked out of the shadow.

"What is this?" Bane looked at the scene with some surprise.

As far as I remember, Moria didn't know how to do this, right?

"After I gained this ability, I wondered if I could merge into shadows and shady places. So I took the opportunity to test it on you, young master. I didn't expect to get in so easily," Ain said with great curiosity.

At this point, as if remembering something, Ain drew the dagger from her waist, struck a cool pose, and said, "From now on, please call me Shadow Assassin."

Before she could finish speaking, Bane lightly tapped her forehead with a chop and said, "Yes, yes, Shadow Assassin."

The moment the cool-looking Ain clutched her head and sobbed, everyone else in the room burst into laughter.

After getting familiar with their new powers, Bane got back to the point: "For the next few days, let's hold back and familiarize ourselves with our own powers, do some simple development. Once that's done, Robin, you'll be in charge of investigating whether anyone around here has access to interdimensional portals, and gathering as much information as possible to plan for our future."

"Understood." Robin raised an eyebrow and immediately agreed.

"You guys are in charge of getting familiar with the powers. I haven't eaten any new Devil Fruits yet. In the next few days, I'll go out and wander around the streets to see if I can find some decent underlings. They don't need to be too important, but at least they can help us with some trivial matters," Fubuki said softly after thinking for a moment.

As someone who once single-handedly built the Fubuki Group, finding underlings is a piece of cake for her. What's more, she has been further trained in the Navy in recent years, and she is a proper Vice Admiral. There's no way she could mess up such a small matter.

"Then I'll leave it to you," Bane nodded.

A spark of electricity crackled through Zoro's hair as he said, "Before Robin takes over, I'll gather as much basic information as possible."

Yixiao paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Originally, I was thinking of staying here to protect you while you develop your new abilities. But then I thought, it doesn't seem necessary. I'll stick with Zoro, just in case he gets lost."

"That makes sense. We must keep a close eye on him. If he really loses his Rumble-Rumble Fruit, given his speed, we probably won't be able to find him again," Bane said quickly, his tone very serious.

Zoro's lips twitched a few times as he said, "Ever since I developed this 'radar'-like ability based on Dr. Genus's advice, I haven't gotten lost once, okay?"

"Better safe than sorry," Bane said with a distrustful look.
