Boiling Blood!
Island no.13, Sabaody Archipelago.
With an unabashed conqueror's haki continuously emanating and expanding in all directions, it greatly showcased the terrifying strength of Bullet, who suddenly appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago.
"You, you..."
Rayleigh frowned, staring unwaveringly at Bullet.
The man before him was once a member of the Roger Pirates, having attacked them before being defeated by Roger and joining the crew. However, he later abruptly left the Roger Pirates during their voyage.
And due to his vile personality, Bullet, apart from communicating with Roger, only engaged in combat with others while on the Roger Pirates.
Relying on his terrifying strength, even the seasoned crew members of the Roger Pirates considered Bullet a monster without exception.
Before leaving the Roger Pirates, Bullet was evenly matched in strength with Rayleigh himself.
And through various intelligence analyses after Bullet's appearance, it was highly likely that this guy intended to challenge Roger again.
Moreover, by releasing information about Laugh Tale and other rumors, it seemed like he was trying to force Roger to appear.
And now appearing here, does it mean that he intends to use himself to lure out Roger? After all, the vice-captain and old friend were captured, and it wouldn't look good if Roger didn't show up.
However, looking at Bullet in front of him, a sharp gleam flashed in Rayleigh's glasses.
Bullet was indeed powerful, but Rayleigh himself was also in his prime.
And there was also Gaban by his side, who was no pushover. Who knows who'll end up getting beaten like a dog!
"When I received the news, I thought I was lucky. I could have a good warm-up before facing Roger, and I could also capture Roger's right-hand man, Dark king, Silvers Rayleigh, but I didn't expect to encounter Roger's left-hand man, Spade Scopper Gaban."
Bullet looked down at Rayleigh and Gaban from a high vantage point and continued, "Just like before, you're still so arrogant, Bullet."
Taking a few steps forward, Gaban then drew two axes from his waist and spun them in his hands. With a solemn expression, he looked at Bullet and said, "Although you're indeed powerful, and even Roger has admitted your strength, but honestly, without a real fight, it's hard to say who's stronger."
"Hehe, then let's try it out. Just like before, taking on you two isn't as easy as it seems."
Bullet chuckled coldly, then crossed his arms and flexed his fingers, each the size of an adult's forearm. His body was surrounded by several black and red arcs.
"Then let's have a good fight as a warm-up before I challenge Roger again!"
"...!"
Hearing Bullet's arrogant words, Rayleigh and Gaban seemed to have anticipated it.
"Hope you can still crawl after this battle"
"Hahaha."
As if hearing a joke, Bullet clenched his other hand into a fist.
With a sneer, armament haki quickly wrapped around his arm, enveloping his arm and fist.
Immediately, Bullet swung his fist violently, unleashing a series of overlapping shockwaves, crashing heavily towards Rayleigh and Gaban.
Boom!
Amidst the dispersing shockwaves, two figures leaped out of the smoke, revealing Rayleigh and Gaban.
In the midst of the smoke, red lights floated, and with footsteps, Bullet's figure slowly appeared. At this moment, his lips curled up, revealing an expression of excitement akin to that of a demon.
At the same time, his entire body entered into a devilish form, a form where he merged the devilish aura and conqueror's haki accumulated on the battlefield, greatly enhancing his speed and strength. This form, because it resembled a demon from hell, earned Douglas Bullet the title of Devil's Heir.
Boom boom...!!!
With his speed and strength boosted, Bullet's merciless punches rained down on Rayleigh and Gaban like a storm.
Facing Bullet's fierce onslaught, Rayleigh and Gaban easily withstood all of Bullet's attacks, even teasing each other as they defended.
After blocking Bullet's attacks dozens of times in a row, both Rayleigh and Gaban's eyes flashed red, and then they launched their counterattacks almost simultaneously.
Gaban blocked Bullet's fist with one axe while the other axe swung directly towards Bullet's chest. Rayleigh's sword intercepted Bullet's fist, and then his foot covered with armament haki kicked towards Bullet's chin.
The counterattacks of the two were so fast that Bullet couldn't react in time.
With a dull bang, Bullet's chin was heavily hit, causing his upper body to tilt backward. Before he could adjust, Gaban's axe had already struck him in the chest.
Boom!
Hit by the joint attack of the two, Bullet was sent flying. However, a fervent smile appeared on his face. This was the kind of battle he sought.
Adjusting his posture in mid-air, Bullet landed perfectly, then lowered his head to check his injuries.
I have to admit, Gaban's axe was indeed powerful. If I hadn't entered Devil's form and reinforced my chest defense with armament haki in time, that axe wouldn't have just left a wound.
"Hehehe..."
"This is truly an amazing surprise. I take back what I said earlier. Indeed, as Roger's right-hand man, it's not so easy to deal with you two."
"Then let me enjoy this battle to the fullest!"
With a sudden burst of force under his feet, Bullet charged towards Rayleigh and Gaban once again. In the process of his sprint, Bullet's right arm stretched backward, his fist quickly covered with solid black armament haki with red conqueror's haki swirling around it.
At the same time, his eyes flashed with red light, firmly locking onto the aura of Rayleigh and Gaban.
Then, with all his strength, Bullet threw a punch directly at the crossed axes in front of Gaban.
There was no technique involved, just pure conqueror's haki and strength.
This time.
Bullet's violent and ferocious power directly sent Gaban flying, turning into a blur along the way, breaking countless Yaruki vine-red trees before disappearing from view in the blink of an eye.
Bullet twisted his neck and looked at Rayleigh.
It seemed to say, "Your turn next."
Facing Bullet's gaze full of fighting spirit, Rayleigh sighed lightly, took half a step back with his right foot, then gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and his whole body was like a drawn sword, revealing his sharpness.
As the second-in-command of the Roger Pirates, Rayleigh could be said to be the person, apart from Roger himself, who understood Bullet the most. Rayleigh realized that this battle was unavoidable.
But—
It's been a long time since I've felt such exhilaration!!!
