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

Chapter 42 The Spear of Elbaf - Domination, Mastery!

Mid-June of the Haiyuan Calendar, 1520.

On the cliff edge of the Ancient Island, Little Garden, stood four figures: Bane, Zoro, Dorry, and Brogy.

Behind them, a volcano in the middle of the island was erupting, and surprisingly, neither Donley nor Brogy seemed inclined to fight today.

"That beast appears every two or three months or so. Originally, Dongli and I were planning to kill it, but then we thought it was quite interesting to have it around, so we've been keeping it. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be here today. Since you've taken control of the Hegemony now, why not use it to test your skills?" Bloki stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the distant sea.

Although Bane had never seen it with his own eyes, he knew what they were talking about.

That is the island-eating monster that looks a lot like a goldfish. This kind of sea monster is very rare. They usually feed on islands, and after they finish eating, the excrement they produce is as big as the island, which is very rare.

Looking at the calm sea, Bane asked curiously, "Are you sure it will appear today?"

"That guy is surprisingly punctual. Most likely, if he doesn't come today, he'll come in a couple of days. Nothing in this sea area can harm him, so he's always been the overlord here and has always wanted to find an opportunity to eat us, hahahahaha." Dongli laughed loudly.

Just as he finished speaking, the once calm sea suddenly began to churn, and then a huge shadow appeared beneath the surface, rising rapidly. In just a few breaths, a giant goldfish, larger than an ordinary island, appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Here it comes!" Dongli said with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, "Let's see if your hegemonic kingdom is powerful enough!"

Zoro was also stunned. He had seen many sea beasts and even a few sea kings along the way, but he had never seen such a huge monster before. Was this really a target that humans could kill?

Without saying a word, Bane gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand, a murderous glint in his eyes. He began to gather his power, and faint but intense pressure gradually gathered from his body, growing stronger before spreading outwards.

Dorry and Brogy also gripped their weapons tightly. If Bane failed to take down the island-eating monster on the other side, the two of them would step in to clean up the mess.

"Whether we get to eat this tonight depends on you!" Brogy encouraged.

At the same time, the island-eating monster opened its huge mouth and swallowed a large amount of seawater directly into its belly, and then swam faster toward the small garden, seemingly wanting to devour this area.

Just as its mouth opened to its widest point, a glint flashed in Bane's eyes, and the sword at his waist was suddenly drawn!

"The Spear of Elbaf - Overlord!!!" Bane roared.

Standing beside Bane, Zoro felt that the power that had been gathered on Bane had condensed into his sword in an instant. As a swordsman, Zoro could sense that the swordsmanship elements contained in this strike were not many, they were only the most basic. The terrifying force was the core!

This energy is not some kind of domineering aura or special power; it is simply physical strength. The essence of the Elbaf Spear lies in condensing the power of the entire body into a single point and unleashing it as a shockwave. Therefore, only those with superhuman physical strength can use this technique!

As Bane unleashed his slash, the ground of the cliff in front of him shattered first, and then a powerful shockwave roared out like a shockwave. At first, it was only the size of a human, but as the distance increased, the shockwave rapidly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, it had become the size of a sea monster, and then continued to expand.

The shockwave formed by this force swept across the sea, forcefully pushing the surface of the sea apart and carving out a deep trench. Then, this blow slammed into the mouth of the island-eating monster.

With a pop, like the sound of a cork being opened, without any blood splattering, a hole appeared in the island-eating monster's enormous, black hole-like mouth, revealing the light behind it.

The power of the overlord wiped out the flesh and blood of its wounds in an instant, leaving no trace whatsoever!

"Amazing!" Brogy's eyes lit up as he praised.

"Very good!" Dongli nodded in satisfaction.

Zoro was also shocked; this attack was truly unexpected!

But Bane was only just getting started. Although he fought the Overlord quite well, its power was not as ferocious as Dorry and Brogy's, especially since the Island Eater was originally killed by these two ruthless people working together.

Sure enough, the next second, the island-eating monster let out a deafening wail. Bane didn't know how a goldfish could make such a sound.

Anyway, the sound waves spread out in waves, causing huge waves to rise on the surrounding sea surface.

Clearly, while the attack severely injured the island-eating monster, it wasn't enough to kill it immediately.

Seeing this, Bane didn't hesitate. He hadn't used up all his strength yet. Who said the Overlord could only fight once? Why not fire continuously?

Without saying a word, he raised his sword, but just as he was about to exert his strength, numerous cracks appeared on the sword in his hand, and it fell to the ground in pieces.

The atmosphere became incredibly awkward. Bane glanced at the tattered hilt of the knife he held, his face twitching as he said, "It shattered in one strike?"

Seeing this, Donli said somewhat embarrassedly, "I forgot to tell you, our Elbaf combat techniques have very high requirements for weapons."

"The main problem is that ordinary weapons can't withstand that kind of extremely condensed power," Brogy added.

"You should have used your Haki to protect your sword just now, so you could have withstood a few more hits," Dongli said again.

That's right. These two pirate leaders from the strongest country are quite proficient in the power of Haki. Bane has also learned a lot about the essence of Haki from them during this time. The reason Zoro came along today is also because he has been training in Haki with them during this period.

"I just wanted to test how ruthless a pure hegemony could be; I had no intention of adding any other forces," Bane explained.

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

As he spoke, he looked at the sword hanging at Zoro's waist. His own sword was a very ordinary and common iron weapon, but Zoro was different. He had three swords, none of which were simple. Wado Ichimonji, Sandai Kitetsu, and Yubashiri were all famous swords.

"What are you doing?" Zoro clutched the hilts of his three swords. "Don't even think about touching them! If you were proficient in mastering the Overlord technique, I might lend them to you. But in your current state, I suspect you'll ruin my swords!"

"You're so stingy. Have you forgotten who gave you the money to buy the knife?" Bane scoffed.

At that moment, Donley and Brogy exchanged a glance, then said, "Alright, alright, let us show you the full glory of the Hegemon Kingdom!"

As soon as the words fell, two powerful auras erupted from the two warriors, and then converged at an extremely fast speed onto the broken weapons in their hands.

A long sword, a battle axe!

Just as Zoro realized, the core of the Overlord's Technique is not swordsmanship, so it doesn't matter what kind of weapon you use. What matters is its unparalleled power!

In the original story, after these two defeated the powerful nation, their weapons broke down. But now, they have applied Armament Haki to their weapons, adding a layer of protective coloration and further enhancing the power of their attack.

In the blink of an eye, the combined attack of the two soared into the sky, its power at least four or five times stronger than the attack that Bane had unleashed alone!

With a loud bang, the Overlord slammed directly onto the head of the Island-Eating Monster. When the shockwave dissipated, all that could be seen was the giant fish with only half its body remaining; nothing else was left.

After the strange fish's tail twitched a few times in the sea, it quickly became still. Brogy and Dorry laughed and jumped directly into the sea from the cliff. Soon, they grabbed half of the strange fish's body and swam towards the shore.

Clearly, this is their food ingredient for today!
