From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 35: Grab Nico Robin's throat!

Nico Robin on the tree trunk was also a little surprised after hearing this. She straightened her back slightly to make herself look more dignified, and pinched her chin in a feminine way, and said in a puzzled tone: "I have come into contact with many bounty hunters, but this is the first time I have seen someone as professional as you. It's strange that you can determine my identity just by the voice. Have we met somewhere before?"

"Never seen it before." Bane picked up another piece of barbecue from the table and said while eating.

At this time, some of the bounty hunters around Bane had begun to spread out, surrounding Nico Robin on the tree, forming an encirclement.

And Zoro also stood up from the wooden block, put one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and looked around with a vigilant look.

It was obvious that the alert Zoro had already noticed something unusual in the team. Several bounty hunter brothers did not seem to be on the same page with them, either in terms of their positions or expressions.

Nami seemed to have noticed this problem as well, and consciously moved closer to Zoro's side. She now had experience in this regard. When Bane took action, Zoro usually served as her bodyguard.

Bane was not at all surprised that there were bad people among the crowd.

These people were all brought out by him from Whiskey Peak, and Whiskey Peak was an important base of Baroque Works. Among these hundreds of people, at least dozens were from Baroque Works.

It was definitely for this reason that Nico Robin was able to find him easily and land in the small garden without anyone noticing, emerging from the tree trunk behind him in this slightly weird way.

After responding with a "I haven't seen it", Bane just ate the barbecue by himself without saying anything.

Nico Robin waited for a long time and found that this guy had not responded at all. It was a bit embarrassing to be stuck in the tree.

Just as the atmosphere gradually became silent and awkward, Bane suddenly bit the bone in his mouth and broke it into pieces. At the moment of biting the bone, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, looking towards the hill opposite in the distance. There was a dense forest there, and it looked green at a glance. Occasionally, some huge dinosaurs could be seen swaying and shuttling in it.

At the same moment when Bane looked over there, on an ancient tree in the dense forest, Nicole Robin's real body was sitting on a thick branch covered with vines. Her eyes seemed to meet Bane's at this moment.

The ability of the Flower-Flower Fruit is that it can grow the body or various parts of the body at will within the area within its sight!

From the very beginning, Bane didn't care about Nico Robin behind him at all, because he was very sure that it was definitely a prosthesis brought by his ability and it was meaningless.

So he just pretended nothing happened and ate the barbecue while releasing his Observation Haki to search carefully.

To be honest, his Observation Haki is really bad. He has just learned it not long ago. If there is a powerful and knowledgeable master present, he will be able to detect what he is doing.

Fortunately, among these rotten sweet potatoes and stinky bird eggs he brought, only Zoro knew a little about Observation Haki. Although Nico Robin was experienced, her strength was not that good. Although she had heard of Haki, she didn't know much about it. She thought Bane was playing tricks there, and never thought that he was using Observation Haki!

When Bane and Robin's eyes met across the valley, at such a long distance, Bane smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, Nico Robin."

Nicole Robin, who was sitting on the tree behind him, naturally understood that she was exposed, but at such a long distance, she was not panicked at all. She responded calmly and confidently: "It seems that the timing of our first meeting may not be good. In that case, please allow me to visit you again next time."

She is very smart. She deliberately appeared in this way just to create a mysterious and weird or powerful image, so as to use it as a basis to communicate with people like Bane. However, she didn't expect that her trick didn't work at all. At the same time, after this brief contact, Nicole Robin judged that Bane was very dangerous. Obviously, this is not a good time to communicate, so let's wait until next time.

She decisively chose to end the meeting and prepared to take a boat to the sea from the inland river under the other side of the valley. Given Bane's situation, there was no way he could catch up with her. After all, the two inland rivers had different outlets to the sea. Now there were werewolves in Bane's team. If he didn't investigate the team, who would dare to go out to sea to hunt them?

What if the ship is sunk by a traitor on the way? Who can withstand it?

However, the plan was very good, and the actions and judgment were quite quick and decisive. However, Nico Robin failed to take into account the ability of Bane's Dark-Dark Fruit, or in other words, she did not have any information about the Dark-Dark Fruit!

As a person with special abilities, once she was exposed to Bane, she was doomed to be unable to escape!

"Hahahaha, how can it not be wonderful!?" Bane laughed, and as he stood up, billowing black smoke came out from behind him. Combined with his tall, strong and sturdy physique, he looked particularly domineering.

"If we let the guests go back disappointed, others will think I don't know etiquette if they know about it. Now that you are here, please come and sit in front of me!" Bane said this while extending his hand in the direction of Nico Robin's real body.

And at the moment he stretched out his hand, Robin suddenly felt a sense of panic in his heart, as if he had met his natural enemy?
This feeling made her very uncomfortable, and she didn't want to say anything more. She instantly released her ability, jumped off the tree trunk, and prepared to jump onto the boat and run away.

As a result, her figure fell from the tree, and in mid-air, she suddenly felt a pulling force. This strange force came so suddenly that Robin flipped half a circle in the air. Before she could react, her body was dragged out of the valley by this force.

At this time in the camp, dark elements bloomed in Bane's hands, covering the ground and air within ten meters around him. Those dark elements were like flowing smoke, swirling in this environment, emitting an inexplicable halo of power.

It was visible to the naked eye that as the darkness pulled her over, Nicole Robin's figure was dragged over from the other side of the valley. She struggled several times in the air, but found it was of no use at all. There was a look of surprise and fear in her eyes.

But after all, she was a contestant who had been surviving in this man-eating sea since she was eight years old. After discovering that she could not get rid of this power, she quickly adjusted her mentality, suppressed the fear in her eyes, and her face returned to a calm and composed expression.

Three or five breaths later, in the camp, Bane grabbed Nicole Robin's delicate wheat-colored neck with one hand, lifted her high into the air, and then said, "Your strength does not seem to be worthy of the bounty of 79 million Baileys. Devil's Child, Nicole Robin."

Nicole Robin did not struggle, but just held Bane's strong arms with both hands to make herself feel a little more comfortable. She could also feel that although Bane had grabbed her neck, he did not mean to strangle her.

So much so that she could now respond easily.

"Your strength and cunning character are somewhat beyond my expectations," Robin said softly.

She had seen photos of Bane. In the photos, Bane looked rather rough, with a sturdy physique, a tough face, and a bright smile. He gave people the impression that he was simple-minded and had a generous personality.

People like this usually have weaknesses like being reckless and impulsive, and they think that strength can solve everything. Over the years, Nicole Robin has seen too many such people and has played with too many of them.

It was precisely because of this mentality that she became a little arrogant, and this arrogance led to her being strangled by Bane.
