From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 48 Crocodile dies and the Sand-Sand Fruit is obtained!
Feeling the small earthquake in Yuyan, Bane raised his fist with some dissatisfaction and said, "I'm still not proficient enough. I don't feel that I'm familiar with it. According to Dongli, this kind of power gathered at one point should not have any impact on the surrounding area except the target."

Just like Ba Guo, with one strike, the target will vanish into thin air, but the rest of the impact is not significant, a hole will be made wherever it hits, unless something is affected, such as an object on its trajectory.

If the punch just now was very successful, Yu Yan wouldn't even feel anything.

At this time, Crocodile's head was hanging in a deep pit. Yes, the previous blow had pierced through the ground to create a large pit several dozen meters deep. His face was covered in blood and his appearance could no longer be seen clearly.

After three or two breaths, Crocodile twitched and seemed to want to raise his hand, but his hand was held down by Bane.

Feeling the movement, Ben was a little surprised and said, "No way, you are so tough?"

In his impression, this guy was very weak at that time and was easily defeated by Luffy's random punches.

The punch I just threw was really powerful! How could you still struggle?
Of course, Bane had no intention of giving Crocodile any chance. With a fierce gleam in his eyes, he clenched his fist and prepared to attack again.

At this moment, Crocodile seemed to regain consciousness. He struggled to speak: "Wait a minute. Wait a minute. We have no grudges against each other. Why are you asking me?"

Bane listened to this, with a cruel smile on his face, and said, "I feel sorry that you can still ask such a question after being a pirate for so many years. Crocodile, when you robbed others, did you ever think about whether you had any grudges against them?"

As the words fell, Bane's fist was about to fall. At this moment, Crocodile seemed to feel the fatal crisis.

He was unwilling to give up. He had been planning in Alabasta for so many years and was about to succeed!

He was furious. He was obviously very strong, but in this fight, from beginning to end, he couldn't hurt that bastard Bane at all. He didn't even have a chance to fight back!
And this is actually the importance of intelligence. Bane knew him too well, but Crocodile had almost no knowledge of him, so much so that Bane shook his hand as soon as he came up. This was simply a shame for a person with special abilities.

He is the king of the desert, but in this vast desert country, he is being beaten like a dog!

"Don't kill me. I...I even treated you to dinner," Crocodile said finally.

However, this time Bane's iron fist did not stop, but hit him on the head fiercely, instantly defeating Crocodile's consciousness, which was not strong to begin with.

Bane retracted his blood-stained fist and looked at Nico Robin behind him in surprise, "When did he ever treat me to a meal?!"

"Buffet?" Nicole Robin responded instinctively.

Bane???

Can this be called treating someone to a meal?
But he didn't dwell on it. Seeing that Crocodile was about to die, Bane quickly called out, "Nami, prepare the things you asked me to prepare."

"Coming!" Nami immediately rushed in from the corridor outside, holding a bunch of fresh fruits in her hands.

Nico Robin obviously had no idea what Bane was going to do and looked at the fruit with a puzzled look.

What for? To repay Crocodile for the meal, so that he could have a full meal before he died?
Before she could finish this thought, she saw a strong dark element burst out from Bane's hand, instantly enveloping Crocodile.

Then, Bane's expression became serious, and Robin realized that even during the fight with Crocodile, this man had never shown such a serious expression. Perhaps in his opinion, this moment was more important than killing Crocodile?

What on earth is he going to do?
However, Bane did not have the energy to explain anything. Under the puzzled gazes of Robin and Nami, his dark power carefully explored Crocodile's body.

At the same time, this dark force was also drilling into Crocodile's body from the eyes, nostrils, ears and other areas, which directly caused Crocodile, who was already running out of energy, to die on the spot.

It was also at the moment of his death that Bane's Dark-Dark Fruit seemed to have discovered something delicious. It sensed a special power in Crocodile's body and wanted to drill out of his body and escape from here.

But at this moment, Crocodile was completely enveloped by darkness, leaving that force nowhere to escape. Then, the power of darkness quickly captured this force.

Like the people with special abilities, this power lost its ability to resist the moment it came into contact with the power of darkness. It could only allow Bane to slowly exert force, wrap it in the darkness, and pull it out of Crocodile's body.

At the same time, the darkness that enveloped Crocodile's body faded away, leaving only a black elemental ball in Bane's hand.

"Is this the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit?" Bane observed with curiosity in his eyes.

"Sand-Sand Fruit?" Nico Robin was a little surprised when she heard it: "What do you mean? You..."

At this moment, she thought of Bane's restraint over those with special abilities, and the dark force that made her unable to resist, as if she was facing a natural enemy!

Then, under her shocked gaze, Bane had no intention of picking the fruits, and directly injected the darkness into the prepared fruits.

As Bane did this, the originally ordinary fruit quickly became deformed and grew strange patterns.

Nico Robin, who is also a user of special abilities, certainly knows that this is the characteristic of a devil fruit!

After three or five breaths, this ordinary apple turned into a cactus covered with thorns!
After feeling that there was no more excess residue in the dark power in his hand, Bane retracted his power, picked up the cactus, and said with admiration: "The most vicious power in history. It really lives up to its reputation. It takes the enemy's power and turns it into one's own power. Tsk tsk."

"You created a devil fruit!?" Robin said in an incredible tone.

"That's right." Bane nodded and looked at Robin and said, "To be precise, I took away Crocodile's ability."

Speaking of Crocodile, Bane turned his head to look at Crocodile's body, smacked his lips, and said with a bit of boredom: "I thought this guy was very difficult to deal with. I thought we would have a world-shaking battle with him in this desert. But what happened? Has he been too comfortable for so many years that he even forgot the most basic vigilance? Knowing that I had bad intentions, he dared to be so careless?"

To be honest, Robin was also confused now. In her impression, Crocodile was a very cautious and careful person. Why did he act so careless and kind after meeting Bane?
In particular, she really reminded Crocodile and told him that Bane had bad intentions towards him and was most likely here to hunt him.

Why does he act like he didn't understand?
If the ability of the fruit had not been revealed, Robin would have suspected that this Crocodile was Mr. 2 von Clay in disguise?
"I don't know either. He was indeed a little strange today. He was too kind to you." Robin responded puzzledly.

"Forget it. This is the cruelty of the sea. If you are not careful, a pirate like Crocodile, who has roamed the New World for many years, will die on the spot. So we have to thank him, thank him for using his life to teach us another lesson, sacrificing himself to illuminate others. He is a great man!" Bane said with emotion.

Sometimes, it is like this, being too clever and scheming may end up costing the life of his loved ones. If Crocodile had not thought so much, perhaps he could have struggled a little longer.
