From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 280 Lingling, you are worthy of being the woman who will become the king of the sea!
After rolling several times in the air, Bane landed on his feet and stood firmly on the spot without any stagger.

Raising his hand to wipe away the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, feeling the pain coming from his body, he sneered and said, "Lingling, if this is all you can do, I won't give you any more room to perform next time."

In the distance, Charlotte Lingling did not land on the ground, but was still standing on the thundercloud Zeus. There were some bruises and swelling on her chin, but soon, the soul power was eliminating these injuries.

Looking at Bane's figure, Charlotte Lingling felt a little heavy in her heart.

The Soul-Soul Fruit is very powerful. It can borrow a large amount of soul power to enhance its own condition to its current level, but the problem is that Bane's Dark-Dark Fruit is indeed too restraining for ability users.

Although she was under great psychological pressure, Charlotte Lingling would not show it on the surface. She snorted coldly and said, "Little devil, if you want to beat me, then show me your true ability!"

He thrust his fists in front of him, and a surge of power burst out from Bane, instantly shattering his already somewhat tattered navy cloak and black suit, revealing Bane's sturdy upper body.

The lines of the muscles seem to be carved, full of powerful beauty.

Bane didn't mean to underestimate Charlotte Linling at this moment, but as he said just now, if she didn't have any other tricks up her sleeve, Charlotte Linling's defeat would be inevitable.

This is his confidence!
The one-on-two battle just now was actually a kind of weighing and testing.

It is true that Charlotte Linlin is very strong. Even in her current state where the power of the soul blesses her whole body, she is more oppressive than Kaido.

However, after several fights, Bane's power of the Dark Dark Fruit was able to completely suppress Charlotte Linlin's soul power, which was enough for Bane.

Putting aside his abilities, whether in terms of strength or physical fitness, Bane has already confirmed that he is stronger than Charlotte Linling. To some extent, he is an enhanced version of Charlotte Linling!

Therefore, he has absolute confidence in victory!

"Then don't be dazzled." Bane said with a ferocious smile on his face.

The moment he finished speaking, Bane's feet burst out and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Charlotte Linlin's observation Haki was always paying attention to Bane's movements. The moment he disappeared, Charlotte Linlin had already locked onto his trajectory and slashed forward with the Emperor Sword in her hand.

As expected, Bane appeared where Charlotte Linling had predicted.

Facing the whistling Emperor's Sword, Bane sneered and said, "Too many flaws for me!"

He did not dodge or defend himself. Instead, he faced the emperor's sword and grabbed it. Black smoke billowed out from between his fingers!
With a flash of blood, Bane's palm was broken by the sharp blade of the Emperor Sword, and bright red blood flowed out. But at the same time, Bane also grabbed the blade of the Emperor Sword, and the power of darkness burst out, instantly destroying the soul power bestowed on the blade. The Emperor Sword was deprived of its so-called "life" on the spot, and suddenly turned into an ordinary pirate captain's hat.

In previous fights, Bane had never used this kind of power, so Charlotte Linling was a little hasty for a moment and had no time to react.

And this state is a huge flaw for Bane!

Before he could even drop the captain's hat in his hand, Bane grabbed the hat, turned it into an iron fist, and punched Charlotte Linling in the abdomen.

This attack also carried the power of darkness. Wherever the fist landed, the power of that place would be eliminated. Only the faint green light of Charlotte Lingling's abdominal soul spread out in all directions, and the powerful fist force hit her abdominal muscles with 100% certainty!

The ferocious punch made Charlotte Lingling look painful and a little hideous, with blood flowing out of the corner of her mouth. However, the blood did not flow back, which showed that her soul blessing was blocked at this moment.

Her feet loosened and she failed to hold onto Thundercloud Zeus, and Charlotte Lingling was directly knocked away by the punch.

Bane did not pursue him. Instead, he took a deep breath. A strange dark mist emanated from the corners of his eyes. His muscular upper body was obscured by the black smoke. He had already used his abilities to the extreme.

When the dense dark power climbed up to his fist and condensed without being released, Bane stomped his feet hard, and his figure rose hundreds of meters from the ground and flew into the air. An extremely powerful aura burst out from his body, and the domineering aura instantly enveloped the entire island, no, the entire sea!

"It's that move!" Ian exclaimed on the deck of the warship.

Zhan Guo's expression was unusually solemn. Feeling Bane's domineering attitude, he said in a serious tone, "So strong."

Charlotte Lingling, who had just been pierced to the ground by the last wave of punches, had no time to roll over to relieve the force before she felt an irresistible force pulling her body up into the sky.

After fighting with Bane for a long time, she naturally understood that this was Bane's ability!
Looking up, he found himself flying rapidly towards the area in the sky where Bane was, and at this moment, all the strength in Bane's body had been accumulated to the extreme!
"Bloom, Star Explosion Fist!!!" Bane shouted.

Along with this roar, Bane's figure was like a dazzling sun, leaving a red tail from the sky and heading towards Charlotte Linling who was flying towards him.

"Bastard." Charlotte Lingling felt this extremely terrifying power, and a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes.

There was no way to dodge, she simply couldn't break free from the terrifying attraction. As a top pirate, she had extremely rich combat experience and performed much better than Weevil did back then.

At the critical moment, Charlotte Lingling adjusted her posture. Her heartbeat, which was already as dull as a heavy hammer hitting a drum, became even more agitated. The blood in her body seemed to be rushing wildly, causing her skin to turn red quickly, and even blood-colored steam was emitting from her body surface.

The dark green soul energy continued to gather from all parts of her body to her fist. At this moment, without dodging, she swung out this blow that also reflected her own beliefs and strength, facing Bane's heavy fist!
Even Kaido, Sakaski, Yixiao and others who were fighting fiercely, all stopped their attacks at the same time and looked up at the sky together.

Two figures, one big and one small, collided with each other in the line of sight at the angle where the sun was.

It was clearly full of power before, but at the moment of actual collision, no sound was heard at all. It was invisible and intangible, and the great sound was almost inaudible!
All those present were top masters, and they saw it at the first moment. Before Charlotte Lingling's punch, which was filled with the power of soul, could take effect, it was invaded by darkness at the moment it touched Bane's fist. In the blink of an eye, the power of soul dissipated.

Then, like a star exploding, endless red light bloomed in the sky, and for a moment, it deprived everyone of their sight! Nothing could be seen, and it seemed that everything was plunged into darkness!
But this is not an illusion!

In an instant, the dazzling red light like a star explosion was transformed into boundless darkness that spread and completely covered the entire sky. Even the sun higher up could not appear.

But this darkness was only fleeting.

When everyone regained their sight, blood exploded in the sky.

Charlotte Lingling's entire arm, which had collided with Bane, shattered and exploded, turning into rotten flesh and bone fragments, splashing and falling in the sky. Following closely, her figure seemed unable to withstand this terrifying force and flew backwards.

At first, it seemed slow, but the next second, she had disappeared.

Then, the whole island began to tremble, as if a mountain was collapsing and the earth was splitting. It was not until the tremor came that everyone suddenly realized that Charlotte Lingling had been pierced from the sky into the depths of the island by this punch!
While everyone was amazed, Yixiao was the first to detect Bane's figure with his powerful observation Haki, and then disappeared from the air.

Then, he realized that Bane had appeared in the deep pit where Charlotte Linling fell.

At this time, in the deep pit that almost penetrated the entire foundation of the island, Charlotte Lingling was crushed by several pieces of rubble. Her expression was in great pain, blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth, and blood foam was coming out of her nose. She was seriously injured.

Especially her left arm, which was completely gone, with her shoulder blade shattered and flesh and blood exposed to the air.

"Ugh." Charlotte Lingling suppressed her voice, but some painful groans still came out.

The dark green soul halo illuminated the entire deep pit. It was visible to the naked eye that her injuries were actually recovering. The blood had stopped spurting out. Not to mention that she could grow a new arm, but if she was given a few minutes, at least this horrible wound would be able to scab over and heal completely!

Perhaps because she had mobilized too much soul power, Charlotte Lingling's face began to show signs of aging, and it seemed as if she was about to return to her original form.

"Don't struggle. You've already lost, haven't you?" Bane's figure emerged from the deep pit illuminated by the soul light and said softly.

Charlotte Lingling had a ferocious expression on her face. She was trying hard to hold on to the wall of the pit with her other arm, as if she was trying to get up.

But obviously, Bane did not give her this opportunity. He stepped on her chest with a powerful force and pressed her back to the ground!
At the same time, a strange black mist emanated from under his feet. The soul power that Charlotte Lingling had used to maintain her condition dissipated again. The wound that had shown signs of healing collapsed in an instant and blood gushed out.

Charlotte Linling, whose physical fitness was originally inferior to Bane, was now seriously injured, and her soul power was sealed. Her face turned pale all of a sudden, and her youthful appearance gradually began to age. In just a few breaths, except for the fat that had been burned, making her not as fat as before, she had completely recovered her original appearance.

"It's over," Ben said softly.

This sentence seemed to have relieved Charlotte Lingling's spirit. Her eyes relaxed. She clearly still had strength left. Even with this injury, she could continue to fight, even for a long time. But at this moment, she no longer struggled in vain. The resistance in her body dissipated. She lay in the pit and said with emotion, "It seems that the sea does not favor me this time."

"From the moment you bore the name of a pirate and plundered everything from others for the first time and enjoyed the pleasure, the outcome today was already destined, wasn't it?" Bane smacked his lips.

"Hehe, there's no need for you to be so hypocritical. You say this as if it's a declaration of justice, doesn't it? You probably know very well what the sea looks like. Your fist has already told me that we are all the same kind, just wearing different coats." Charlotte Linling sneered and said in a sarcastic tone.

Bane nodded after hearing this, and without saying anything hypocritical, he said softly: "You are right, we are the same kind, but I am more cunning and put on the cloak of hypocrisy and justice."

Bane is good at knowing what to eat to replenish what you need, so he knows one thing very well.

In this ocean, you cannot become a superior person by enduring hardships. As long as you can endure hardships, you will have endless hardships to endure. On the contrary, only by enduring hardships can you become a superior person.

Whether they are admirals or four emperors, the principles are essentially the same.

The only difference is that Bane does not eat the weak, but only the strong. Perhaps that is why he can still barely raise the banner of justice?

Charlotte Lingling didn't continue the topic. She knew that her injuries were not fatal, but the man in front of her had no intention of letting her live any longer.

"I thought I would lose, but I didn't expect to lose so quickly. How did Kaido survive those two days and three nights in your hands?" Charlotte Linling said with some resentment in her tone.

With such a strong Bane, how could Kaido fight him for so long? She thought it was outrageous! As one of the Four Emperors, am I already so far behind Kaido?
Ben was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I was just holding on at the beginning. I wasn't that strong back then."

Hearing this, Charlotte Lingling's eyes were somewhat incredible. After a moment, she said regretfully: "The biggest mistake we made was to underestimate your growth rate."

"Thank you for the compliment. Considering your great reputation, do you have any last words?" Bane raised his eyebrows and asked with black smoke in his hands.

Charlotte Lingling was silent for a moment, and then said casually: "It's a pity that I haven't tasted the taste of a giant man."

After he finished speaking, Ben looked a little surprised, as if he had never expected that such a hero as Charlotte Lingling would have these as her last words.

After coming back to his senses, Ben laughed loudly and said, "Hahahaha, at this moment, I actually admire you a little, Lingling. You are worthy of being a woman who wants to be the king of the sea! You really have the demeanor of a king!"

"I'm in pain all over right now, you bastard, if you want to do something, do it quickly!" Charlotte Lingling said with the same bright smile on her face.

Then, darkness flooded her body like a tide.
