From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 13 Bane VS Zoro!

In the wide kendo field, two figures were fighting.

One of them was Bane, and the other was Sauron.

Bane held a long sword in both hands and blocked quickly in front of him, while Zoro, as the attacker, was very imposing, using three swords in one hand, suppressing Bane so much that he could hardly find any chance to fight back.

Bane was already strong, and although Zoro was not as strong as Bane, his strength was also amazing. When the weapons of the two collided, sparks flew from time to time.

At a moment when the two men had fought dozens of times, the knife in Zoro's hand suddenly slid forward and flew out of his hand. The blade flew towards Bane, pointing directly at his neck.

Bane did not seem to have expected this, and in a hurry, he instinctively raised his knife to block, but as he raised the knife, his chest was exposed.

"It's over!" Zoro roared, and with his free hand he took out the Wado Ichimonji that he was biting on his mouth. Then his momentum suddenly increased, and his arms briefly gathered strength.

The biceps, which were already very strong, seemed to have been inflated and expanded at this moment!

"Two-Sword Style: Rhinoceros Return!"

The two knives in Zoro's hands were like rhinoceros horns, suddenly thrusting into Bane's chest.

At this moment, Bane knew that he had lost the sword fight.

That’s right, as early as half a year ago, Bane successfully became a disciple of Koshiro and a member of Isshin Dojo.

In fact, Koshiro didn't want to teach Bane Haki at first. He seemed to be intentionally hiding his past. However, Bane was shameless and used a despicable move of "Mr. Koshiro, you don't want others to know that you are good friends with the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Mr. Dragon, right?" to successfully convince Koshiro and turn him from a teacher to a master.

Originally, Bane thought that if he forced Koshiro in this way, Koshiro's subsequent teaching might make things difficult for him. However, it turned out that he was too narrow-minded. After accepting him as his wife, Koshiro never made things difficult for him. He had been dedicatedly teaching him the basics of kendo and domineering.

That’s right, it’s just the basics of Haki. As for Ryuo and the like, according to Koshiro, they will be taught at the end.

Surprisingly, Bane is also very talented in kendo.

In addition, relying on his own strong body, now in the entire Isshin Dojo, only Zoro can suppress him in kendo.

After all, he may have some talent in kendo, but Zoro is truly gifted and has been practicing kendo for many years. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Bane is no match for Zoro.

At the moment when Zoro's two swords were about to pierce Bane's chest, Bane decisively threw the sword in his hand aside. His action also represented some meaning, that is, the battle after this was no longer a simple kendo competition.

And it was obvious that Zoro had already gotten used to this kind of fighting pattern between them.

"Shave!" Bane slipped and disappeared from the spot, causing Zoro's two swords to miss.

The next second, Bane's tall figure appeared behind Zoro. There was a strong dark element between his fingers. He made a claw with one hand and grabbed Zoro's shoulder.

Zoro's reaction was also very fast after his two sword strikes missed. He didn't even need to turn around to sense the danger. He also shouted in a low voice: "Shave!"

His figure disappeared from Bane's sight at this moment.

That's right, since Bane came to learn from Zoro with skills, he did not hide his incompetence from Zoro and the others. Anyway, he had asked Smoker before, and Smoker had no objection to Bane teaching others the Six Styles or something. He only asked him to judge people accurately and not entrust the skills to the wrong people.

Therefore, not long after he arrived at Isshin Dojo, he began to teach Zoro to master the power of the Six Styles.

Originally, Zoro was planning to leave the dojo to go out for training, but he didn't expect that when Bane came, he brought a completely new version that he had never seen before. This also aroused his interest in the Six Styles, and he has been practicing in this area for the past six months.

However, unlike Bane's comprehensive study of the Six Styles, Zoro was only interested in five of the Six Styles: Shaving Step, Moon Step, Storm Kick, Iron Block, and Paper Drawing. As for the fingering gun, he had a general understanding of it and never thought about it at all.

The moment Zoro disappeared from his sight, Bane didn't think twice and kicked backwards with a spinning whip kick.

Sure enough, Zoro's foothold was right there. Facing Bane's whip kick, he didn't say a word and raised his two swords to block. The next moment, Bane kicked the blade.

Unexpectedly, when the flesh and blood body hit the blade, a clanging sound was made, as if two kinds of metal were colliding.

If you look closely, you will find that there is a faint black energy on Bane's legs, and this energy is not his ability, but the armed color domineering!
That's right. For the past six months, Bane has mainly been practicing the power of Haki. Although he can't be said to be proficient in it now, he has at least learned the basics of Armament Haki! He used a difficult posture to hold down Zoro's two swords with one leg. At the same time, Bane put his hands together in front of his chest and shouted, "Black Annihilation: Tide!"

As his words fell, in an instant, his entire body seemed to turn into a dark abyss. Endless dark elements spread out from his body in all directions like surging waves, swallowing up everything around him including the ground.

At this time, on the second floor outside the kendo field, Koshiro was holding a cup of tea in his hand and watching the fight in the kendo field.

But now, in his sight, the kendo field was completely shrouded in darkness, and he could neither see Bane nor Zoro.

"The user of nature-type abilities is still as terrifying as ever," Koshiro said with a smile, taking a sip of tea.

In kendo, Zoro can crush Bane. This is the situation that happens every time and there is never a surprise. Similarly, when Bane puts down the knife in his hand, Zoro has no room to resist in the face of Bane's overall strength.

As Koshiro finished his sigh, he saw the dark elements in the dojo retreating towards the center like the tide. Soon, Bane and Zoro appeared in his sight again.

But Bane stood there without moving, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, like a devout monk.

Zoro was in a very awkward situation. His entire body was wrapped in the dark element into a dark sphere, with only his head sticking out of the sphere. He was floating in the air, unable to struggle or move.

"Bastard, put me down!" Zoro cursed.

"Give up?" Bane looked at Zoro and said with a smile.

"If you admit defeat first, I will admit defeat too!" Zoro gritted his teeth and responded somewhat unwillingly.

Ben understood the boy's stubbornness very well, and he had no intention of torturing him. He admitted openly, "In terms of swordsmanship, I am not as strong as you. I admit defeat."

Zoro's face twitched slightly, but after a moment, he accepted his fate and said, "In terms of strength, you are much stronger than me. I admit defeat."

After the two men admitted defeat to each other, Bane retracted his magical powers and released Sauron from his dark water prison.

"It's simply cheating. Your dark power has enveloped the entire space. There is no light source at all and your vision is completely blocked. If you can't master the Observation Haki, you won't have a chance of winning at all." Zoro picked up his sword from the ground and said helplessly.

Since Bane has learned Haki, Koshiro will naturally not leave Zoro alone, so Zoro is also currently learning the power of Haki.

It's just that both he and Bane are quite talented in armament color, but they are so-so in smell color.

As for the Conqueror's Haki, neither of them has mastered it yet.

"This is the power of the devil fruit. If you are interested, I can get you one when you go out to sea for experience in the future. Don't say that I don't take care of you, brother." Bane laughed.

"I am the senior brother, okay?" Zoro retorted angrily.

"Didn't we agree on this? Whoever is stronger will be the senior brother." Bane responded as a matter of course.

"I thought you were talking about kendo!" Zoro said angrily.

"Are you kidding? Strength is strength. How can we just talk about swordsmanship? You don't think that the opponents you will meet in the future will only be able to play with knives?" Bane sneered unceremoniously.

Zoro was so angry that he wanted to chop Bane with a knife, but considering the huge gap in strength between the two, he finally swallowed his anger and said reluctantly: "Wait until I am stronger than you in the future."

"I will call you my senior brother when the time comes. I am a trustworthy person, unlike someone else." Bane deliberately said.

"Who is not trustworthy?!" Zoro got furious.

"Then what should you call me?" Ben raised his chin and said arrogantly.

Zoro's face twitched, veins popped up on his forehead, but he finally lowered his voice and whispered, "Brother."

On the second floor in the distance, Koshiro couldn't help but smile as he watched the two brothers getting along with each other. Whenever this happened, he felt that it might be a good thing for him to accept Ban's teachings.
