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

Chapter 88 Snowflakes and Sandy Fruit.

It has to be said that Tornado is indeed quite something. She can easily use her telekinesis to fix such a huge spaceship in the air and assist Bane in launching the Dark Frenzy.

By this time, everyone had returned to the ground, and just as Bane was gradually swallowing the spaceship with his dark power.

A metal airdrop pod fell from the sky and landed precisely next to Bane, from which a remotely controlled robot emerged.

He looked at Bane and said directly, "Dark Knight, I want you to give me the wreckage of this spaceship. I need it to develop more powerful weapons for protection."

But before he could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning flashed past, and the robot was cut in half at the waist.

Zoro calmly sheathed his sword and asked, "And what are you?"

"Well done," Bane said with a smile.

What kind of nonsense is this, coming here to claim they want to steal his spaceship?

You didn't come when the war started, but now you want to reap the rewards after it's over? Isn't that ridiculous?

Bane didn't have a good impression of Metal Knight, this mysterious S-class hero, so he naturally wouldn't give him any face.

Just as Bane was gradually absorbing the entire spaceship into the dark space, the bulbous-nosed Xiqi from the Hero Association rushed over. He glanced at the robot sent by Metal Knight and quickly said, "Darth Knight, the Association and Metal Knight have reached an agreement, he..."

"What does your agreement have to do with me?" Bane said in a very cold tone.

He glanced at Xiqi, absorbed the dark power into his body, and then said, "The Association has no right to forcibly order S-class heroes around, right? The spoils of war that we defeat naturally belong to us. If you have any complaints, let Metal Knight come and talk to me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Saitama and Genos walked over.

"What's wrong?" Saitama asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just a small matter," Bane waved his hand dismissively.

Xiqi was somewhat helpless after being rebuked by Bane. He looked to Tornado for help, since Tornado had a good relationship with the association and had always been regarded as the association's ace. If she could say a few words, perhaps Bane would give him some face.

However, after noticing west Qi's hint, Long Juan simply ignored it.

Not to mention that she now clearly understands how strong Saitama is, she also dislikes Metal Knight's behavior. He wasn't there when the battle started, but he showed up afterward and still had the nerve to ask for things? He's shameless.

Soon, Bane and his group were ready to leave City A. Bane returned to the dojo to continue learning martial arts from the two old men. As expected, Zoro also chose to return to the Sword Saint Association with Atomic Samurai to continue his training. Genos continued to act as Zoro's 'nanny', preparing to go with Zoro without any complaints.

To be honest, this really made Bane feel quite embarrassed. The two of them hadn't helped Genos in any way, but Genos had been doing everything he could for them.

Actually, if possible, Bane would really like to take Genos back to the pirate world, and then give him a Devil Fruit, which would fulfill the master-disciple relationship, since Devil Fruits can really enhance Genos's strength.

Unfortunately, even if Bane didn't ask, he knew that Genos wouldn't leave because he still carried the burden of hatred here. So next time he came, he should bring him a suitable Devil Fruit as a gift.

As for Saitama, Bane would be even less likely to take him away. Genos and the others are fine; the world won't have any major problems without them. But if Saitama is gone, who knows, the world might be destroyed when Bane comes back next time.

So let's put Saitama's matter aside for now and deal with it later when we can resolve this issue.

However, if I do encounter an opponent I can't handle in the future, borrowing Saitama temporarily shouldn't be a big problem.

After all, they're good buddies now!

Thanks to Bane and Tornado's interventions, the original outcome of A City being completely destroyed was changed. Although the city has been affected to some extent, overall, the situation is not too serious. Soon, the group arrived at Fubuki's luxurious extended limousine, ready to return together.

Fubuki stood in front of the car, looking at her older sister, and said, "I'm going back. Don't try to stop me. I don't want to listen to your lectures."

Fubuki originally thought that her forceful words to her sister might make her angry and scold her.

Unexpectedly, Tornado glanced at Saitama, who was already sitting in the car, and then at Bane, without doing anything to stop him.

She gave a slightly annoyed snort, then said, "You're all in Z City, right? I'll come visit you in a few days."

"Don't come again, you're not welcome," Bane said without hesitation, rolling down the car window.

Upon hearing this, Tornado immediately became agitated and shouted furiously, "You bastard, are you trying to provoke me? Do you think I'm afraid of you? Come down here and fight me one-on-one, you idiot!"

However, Bane completely ignored her and looked at Fubuki, saying, "What are you waiting for? Get in the car."

Fubuki watched as Bane and her sister bickered, and for some reason, she felt like laughing. Then, she politely waved to her sister, quickly got into the car, and the car started and drove away.

While driving, Fubuki was also secretly glancing at Bane, who was sitting in the passenger seat, out of the corner of her eye.

Meanwhile, in the back row, KING, Saitama, and Bang had already started playing cards. This extended luxury car is really something else.

"Your car is really nice. How much did you pay for it?" Bane asked casually as he enjoyed the seat massage.

"It's rented," Fubuki said matter-of-factly.

"Huh?" Bane asked, somewhat surprised. "Why?"

"I don't have any money," Fubuki replied calmly.

"No, I always thought you had a high social status, after all, you always managed to find some high-end ingredients that you can't buy on the market," Bane couldn't help but complain.

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

"Thanks to my sister, my social status is indeed very high, but that's all. If I want money, I can certainly ask her for it, but I don't like it," Fubuki explained.

"You must be very tired. I'll reimburse you for the grocery shopping next time. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite wealthy," Bane joked with a smile.

Fubuki didn't stand on ceremony and immediately agreed, "No problem, I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time."

After they finished speaking, they both couldn't help but laugh again.

After chatting for a while, Fubuki suddenly asked, "Was what you said at the association true?"

"What did you say?" Bane didn't remember for a moment and asked in return.

"So... you said you have a way to make my superpowers even stronger." Fubuki said this with a slight hint of nervousness.

She wasn't afraid of what Bane would do to her, but rather worried that it was just a joke he made casually. She didn't want to experience that feeling of giving her hope only to disappoint her!

Hearing the question, Bane looked out the window at the scenery rushing by. After a brief silence, he slowly said, "Actually, neither Zoro nor I were born with superpowers."

"How is that possible?" Fubuki retorted instinctively. "To date, aside from innate talent, there are no superpowers that can be artificially intervened in, unless it's monster transformation."

Tornado was studied by a mysterious organization from a young age because that organization wanted to replicate her superpowers, but ultimately failed. Therefore, in Fubuki's mind, superpowered individuals like them cannot be replicated and are entirely dependent on talent.

But soon, Fubuki stopped her rebuttal. Even though it was somewhat contrary to her beliefs, after calming down, she felt that Bane would not lie to her, and had no reason to lie to her about such a thing.

"How did you do that?" Fubuki couldn't help but ask.

A dark aura emanated from Bane's fingertips, and soon, in Fubuki's eyes, strangely shaped fruits appeared in his hand.

Without a doubt, this is a Devil Fruit.

"Zoro and I gained superpowers by eating similar fruits. People around here call them 'Devil Fruits.' The fruit I have in my hand is called the Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit, just like the Rumble-Rumble Fruit that Zoro ate. Once you eat this fruit, you will gain the power of the desert. In a way, your ability is quite a good match for it," Bane explained with a chuckle, adding a touch of teasing.

But you know what, the Sand-Sand Fruit really does match Fubuki's superpowers quite well.

Her ability to control sandstorms pairs well with her signature move, Hellstorm.
