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

Chapter 34 I'm going to be the little tyrant in the garden!

Ancient Island - Small Garden.

In a natural harbor in the island's inland river, Bane and his crew's boat was moored. A professional-looking temporary camp had already been set up. After all, bounty hunters need to have some skills in wilderness survival, and among these hundreds of bounty hunters, there are bound to be professionals in certain areas.

Not only was the camp large and professional, but there were also cannons salvaged from ships set up at several key locations around the camp, and two patrol teams of thirty men patrolling around the perimeter of the camp.

There was no way around it; Little Garden was an undeveloped island, and everything on it exuded a primitive and wild atmosphere, making it impossible not to be wary.

Yesterday, on the way in from the inland river, MooMoo was almost eaten by two mosasaurs. Luckily, Bane discovered the situation in time and saved MooMoo.

After landing on the island, they encountered a series of dinosaur attacks, causing considerable unrest.

Of course, those dinosaurs that attacked them are now barbecue ingredients.

In the very center of the camp, there was a huge barbecue grill, on which a Tyrannosaurus Rex, cut into several pieces, was sizzling and dripping oil as it was roasted by the intense heat of the flames.

Not far away, there was a huge iron pot. Originally, this was the equipment that Ah Long and his gang occasionally used to feed Moo Moo, but now it was being used as a large pot for stewing soup.

The mosasaur had been cleaned and cut into pieces ready to be cooked, and was tumbling in the pot. The aroma of the food made everyone in the camp drool.

Meanwhile, an ancient tree had been felled and cut into the shape of a long wooden table, which became a dining table lying across the camp. A large group of bounty hunters were sitting there enjoying their meal, drinking fine wine and eating roasted meat.

At the heart of this long table, naturally, were the seats for Bane, Zoro, and Nami.

By this time, Zoro was almost too full to eat anymore. He was drinking "mosasaurus soup" with a somewhat unfocused gaze, as if he was lost in thought.

Nami had already stopped eating, as she doesn't eat much to begin with, and she's been strictly managing her diet to maintain her figure.

Her desk was already cleaned up, covered with a tablecloth, and filled with many nautical books. Nami was drinking fruit wine and reading the navigator's books.

These books, of course, were all found in Whiskey Peak. Some were given to her by the bounty hunters, and others were bought by her in town.

The sources of the books are even more diverse, ranging from the four seas of the east, west, south, north and south. They are basically items looted by pirates and eventually ended up in the hands of these bounty hunters.

Zoro and Nami finished their battle with the food, but Bane did not. He had been sitting here eating from morning till afternoon since he got up and washed up. Plates and skewers were piled up around him, and seven or eight strong men had to take turns clearing the table and bringing him new food. It could be said that half of this Tyrannosaurus Rex had gone into his stomach.

This incredible situation shocked all the bounty hunters in the team, making them feel even more that Boss Bane was no ordinary person.

Putting everything else aside, the digestive capacity of this body is already unreasonable. How can a person who is over two meters tall eat most of a Tyrannosaurus Rex in just one morning?

Just as Bane was showing off his Tyrannosaurus Rex, Zoro seemed to have put his mind at ease and looked at Bane, asking, "How was it? Did the dinosaurs here have a better effect on your physical growth?"

Their main goal in coming to the Little Garden was to test whether the ingredients here would have a stronger beneficial effect on Bane. They had also decided that if Bane could really benefit from being here, he would stay here for a while.

However, after Zoro finished questioning Bane, he found that Bane only glanced at him with some displeasure, then snorted coldly, and had no intention of replying at all, continuing to eat and drink heartily.

Under normal circumstances, Zoro would definitely have fought Bane, but this time was different. After Bane adopted a dismissive attitude, Zoro awkwardly scratched his neck before continuing, "It's been days, why are you still angry? Can't you be a little more magnanimous?"

"You have the nerve to ask me that?!" Bane got angry and slammed the Tyrannosaurus Rex leg bone in his hand onto the table, breaking the bone instantly. The burly men around him were so frightened that they took a few steps back.

Before Zoro could speak, Bane angrily retorted, "Although nothing unfortunate happened in the end, do you know that your impulsiveness almost killed hundreds of my men!"

This encounter between Zoro and Mihawk is not the peaceful meeting and normal challenge that was in the original story.

This time, they encountered each other directly at sea, and Mihawk attacked their ship immediately. No one could figure out what the number one swordsman was thinking. Normally, they should have just run away and avoided his sharp edge.

However, because of Zoro, Bane and the others had no choice but to confront Mihawk. Fortunately, Mihawk did appreciate Zoro, and after their first encounter, he gave up the idea of ​​killing Bane and the others. He then leisurely boarded his small boat and drifted away with the ocean current.

"As a swordsman, when you encounter the world's greatest swordsman, who can resist drawing their sword?" Zoro said with a hint of helplessness.

Although he had his own thoughts, he knew he had really made a mistake this time, so before Bane could scold him again, he quickly said, "I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? I'll listen to you from now on, senior brother!"

Bane had originally wanted to say a few words to him, but seeing that the kid had taken the initiative to call him "senior brother" and looked like he already knew he was wrong, Bane finally snorted twice and stopped caring about it, and continued to eat meat heartily.

Seeing this, the surrounding underlings all breathed a sigh of relief. Only Nami didn't pay any attention to the two of them. It was obvious that she thought deep down that Bane would definitely forgive Zoro.

Seeing that Bane had stopped his outburst, Zoro asked again, "So you still haven't given me an answer? How does it feel?"

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

"Look at me, I've been eating non-stop from morning till night, isn't the answer obvious?" Bane gritted his teeth, tearing at the roasted meat, a smile playing on his lips. "This place is amazing! These dinosaurs, which have thrived since ancient times, have far more nutrients than sea monsters, even more satisfying than the sea kings I've eaten before. And this is all thanks to my physical condition, which has improved significantly since then!"

After a slight pause, Bane raised the bone in his hand and laughed loudly, saying, "So we'll have to stay here for a while. I'm going to eat all the dinosaurs out of here!"

Bane felt this was his lucky place, so he was going to eat himself into a little tyrant in the garden!

"That's perfect. I can use this time to learn more about the Grand Line. These books are very useful." Nami looked up and agreed.

Seeing this, Zoro chimed in, "Alright, Mihawk gave me some pointers. I've been feeling restless these past few days, so this is a good opportunity to calm down and train."

"However, these living histories that have been passed down since ancient times are quite rare nowadays. On this vast ocean, they can only be found on a few ancient islands. If you were to eat an entire island to extinction, wouldn't that be too extravagant?" A charming yet intellectual voice suddenly entered their ears.

Nami hadn't even reacted yet, and upon hearing this, she agreed, saying, "Yeah, we should leave some bloodlines for them. Hmm? What's wrong with you guys?"

She looked up and saw Zoro opposite her with a serious expression, his hand already on the sword at his waist.

It was only then that Nami saw clearly that a woman had grown out of the big tree behind Bane, as if it were blooming!

Bane, without turning his head, continued eating his grilled meat. In this eerie atmosphere, after finishing the meat completely, he slowly spoke, "Nicole Robin, have you thought carefully about what will happen to a woman like you with a bounty of 79 million Berries, appearing in our bounty hunters' camp?"
