Chapter 64 I want to become the user of the Thunder Fruit.
At first, Bane wanted to create a powerful and independent gravity ball, similar to the "Earth-shattering Star. " When it was used, it would forcibly pull in everything nearby, then seal it, making escape impossible.
It's a bit unfortunate that he hasn't developed his skills to that level yet. He has the idea, but he can't execute it for now. He can't gather that kind of overwhelming and fearsome gravity into a ball.
It's beyond what he can do. Maybe it will take some time before he can reach this goal.
However, even though he can't concentrate the immense gravity in one spot, he can still spread it out and create energy balls with strong gravity.
Just like at this moment.
Dozens of dark energy balls, resembling small black holes, each give off a strong pull. These pulls can be resisted, but only by someone as strong as Issho. Enel does not possess that strength.
Thus, he cannot escape this strange gravitational area. When he tried to teleport, the gravity tore him apart and left him in his current state.
"What did you do! ? " Enel was truly panicked at that moment.
He knew that the key to his powerful ability was his unmatched speed. With that speed, he could remain invincible, create plenty of distance, and unleash the power of thunder to express his terror.
In other words, he was the only one able to strike others, while no one could strike him!
But now, he was trapped in this area, unable to get away.
Refusing to give up, lightning burst from Enel's body as if he wanted to destroy everything around him and escape.
But it was pointless. No matter how strong the thunder he unleashed or how chaotic the lightning was, it was quickly absorbed by the dark balls, as if they could never be satisfied.
Enel wasn't allowed any chance to continue his struggle. If Zoro hadn't spoken, Bane might have already begun to convince him to surrender, but now, that wasn't needed.
Bane remained right where he was. Yes, he hadn't moved at all and looked completely relaxed.
"Heavenly Attraction of All Things. " Bane slowly raised his right hand, which was already covered in darkness, pointed it at Enel, and whispered softly.
The dark balls that were scattered around Enel suddenly crashed into each other. This impact brought Enel's fragmented body back together. However, it looked distorted and strange due to the pressure from the dark balls.
These dark balls merged, and their strong gravity pulled on each other. In that tiny space, a conflict began, distorting the very area around him.
Enel struggled to adjust to this pulling sensation. Luckily, his ability wasn't sealed, so elementalization helped him resist the force of the conflict. If it wasn't for that, he would have been badly hurt! Before Enel could recover from this situation, the dark balls surrounded him. Following the dark gravity from Bane's hands, he was launched toward Bane at incredible speed.
When Enel became aware again, he found Bane choking him.
At the same time, Enel sensed Crocodile's fear. He had always been proud of his thunder powers, claiming to be a God, but now he felt none of it. It was as if he had never had special abilities at all. "You," Enel seemed to want to say something.
But Bane was uninterested in listening anymore.
From the hand squeezing Enel's neck, dark elements surged out like a wave, enveloping Enel's entire body quickly, leaving no gaps.
"Nami," Bane called out calmly.
Nami was very capable. She turned, grabbed a fruit from the table where Bane had just eaten watermelon, and quickly handed it to him.
At that moment, even though he knew he couldn't see, Issho opened his eyes to watch Bane's actions.
Back in Alabasta, he learned that Bane's Dark Dark Fruit could take away enemies' abilities, but he hadn't seen it in action at that time.
Now, he had to pay close attention. As Bane took the fruit, he suddenly squeezed hard, and a snapping sound echoed, as if something had broken.
It was definitely Enel's neck wrapped in darkness.
This meant that Enel, who claimed to be the God of Sky Island, had lost his life.
Then, Bane closed his eyes to sense the darkness in his hands. After a moment, it seemed he had grasped something as he opened his eyes. The darkness faded quickly, revealing Enel's uneven body. At the same time, an unknown force wrapped in darkness was pulled from Enel's body and into Bane's hands.
Without any extra movements, Bane pressed the dark-wrapped power directly into the pear in his hand, injecting it into the ordinary fruit.
Strange patterns began to appear on the fruit, soon transforming it into a golden devil fruit that looked like it held lightning.
There is no doubt that this is the Thunder Fruit.
"This! " Wiper was the most surprised. He forgot about his injuries and jumped up from the deck. He looked at the scene in shock and asked, "Is this the Thunder Fruit? You can really take away his ability? Isn't it said that after the death of a devil fruit user, the fruit will randomly reappear anywhere in the world? "
"The world is big, and many things are incredible. Go out and see more, and you will learn many truths," Bane said casually without explaining.
Nami already knew this. She had seen how Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit ended up with Bane.
So she was not surprised. It was Zoro's first time witnessing such a process. He looked surprised, but it was just a look of shock.
Isshi sighed, "The Thunder Fruit, said to be unbeatable, has met you, the most evil Dark-Dark Fruit in history. I really don't know what to say."
Bane smiled but didn't say more. He handed the Thunder Fruit to Zoro and said, "Take it, Thunder Swordsman Roronoa Zoro. "
"Thunder Swordsman? " Zoro smiled, took the Thunder Fruit, and asked, "Is this how you eat it? "
"Of course not. Keep it for now. When we finish everything else, I'll take you to a new version of the ship you've never seen. Then, you will understand it yourself without me saying anything," Bane interrupted him.
Seeing this, Zoro didn't ask any more questions. Nami was curious, but she didn't push it further. She smiled as she listened, knowing that Bane had some secrets.
He was indeed curious about the secrets, but he wouldn't say much. He knew that once they built enough trust, Bane would share even without being asked.
That's right, even though Issho had joined the group, they all understood that they hadn't built enough trust in each other yet.
This is very normal. Trust takes time to build and becomes unbreakable.
After giving the Thunder Fruit to Zoro, Bane didn't waste any time. He threw Enel's body into the river next to him and said, "Okay, the first goal is done. We have the Thunder Fruit. Now it's time for the second goal. Find the Land of Gold, light the lamp, ring the bell, and then take away this City of Gold! ! ! "
Anyone else might struggle to take all the gold from a city at once, but Bane can do it because he is the user of the Dark-Dark Fruit.
Just send it to the dark space and keep it there. You can take it out and use it whenever you need it.
The ship started moving again, and Bane looked at Wiper and said, "Now, you can really think about whether you want to come with me, Wiper. "
After hearing this, Wiper was surprised for a moment, then he said with a smile, "I think I should tell the village first and get enough sky beasts ready for you."
"That sounds like a good idea! Hahahaha," Bane replied, laughing.
