( Bullet's Pov )

" Wait no, no, no that's not how you perform shave." Achilles said to me as I tried to use his move and failed miserably.

We were currently on a random island somewhere in the North Blue since we were just bored sailing the seas. We couldn't find any strong pirates or marines to fight. And we didn't feel like chasing around pirates or marines either.

So we came to this random island. The island we docked on is a small size island covered by a large forest. The forest covered the whole island so all you could was green trees.

So having nothing to do, we decided to explore the island. Midway through our exploration, I saw Achilles walk in the air. This is something I have always been curious about so I asked Achilles how he does them.

You know things like walking on air, blocking bullets with his body, and sending air slashes from his legs. Achilles didn't hide and just told me how he does them and showed me how to do them as well.

Apparently, it's a superhuman martial arts style called the Six Powers. Developed by the World Government for its members to use. As for how he learned the martial arts style, I didn't worry about it after learning he was a half Celestial Dragon. Granted he doesn't have any special privilege but still, I imagine his parents must still have some connections.

" Just gotta kick the ground ten times, not hard at all." I hyped myself up before I attempted to do just that in the blink of an eye. And just like that, I crashed into the ground face forward.

" Hey, Bullet. Looks like we got company." Achilles said while I picked myself up from the ground. I noticed Achilles was looking towards the horizon where we could see numerous silhouettes of ships.

" Pirates? No, they look like bounty hunters. I think this is my first time-fighting bounty hunters. What about you, Bullet?"

" Never fought them before but this should be exciting," I replied to Achilles cracking my knuckles with a smile on my face. Before my smile turned into confusion as the ships started firing on themselves.

" Are they idiots?" Achilles said facepalming.

" They probably don't want to share bounties with anyone and just want to keep it to themselves," I answered Achilles' question just looking at around 20 ships firing at each other whilst their targets just watched.

" I guess those guys are that confident at being able to capture us. But damn do I wish I brought some popcorn from the kitchen." Achilles looked straight at me. He didn't say it but I knew he wanted me to bring some from the ship to which I agreed.

[ 6 Minutes Later ]

" So it looks like I won". I said eating some popcorn. Achilles and I made a bet on what ship would come out on top and I won. I was able to win as I knew some info about one of the bounty hunters and his crew.

" Get ready, we're about to face the strongest bounty hunter in the North Blue," I said to Achilles as a large ship with the figurehead of a lion sailed closer towards us. I knew the ship as its leader is quite famous in this part of the sea.

" Oh, the strongest? Then this should be a challenge." Achilles said with an excited smile waiting for the ship to land on the island. As we waited I waved toward the bounty hunters so they knew where we were. I did this so they wouldn't fire upon the Voyager as it had no one to defend it.

' Man do we need new members but Achilles only wants the strongest and the most talented to join the crew. Something I agreed with as I didn't want to have a bunch of weaklings with no talent in the crew.'

Now we were just waiting for the ship to dock and for the bounty hunters to disembark from it. And we weren't disappointed as the entrance was quite something.

Achilles tried his best not to laugh but was failing. Thanks to my years of training I was able to keep a straight face, but I would have probably been in the same position as him if I did not have as much emotional training.

5 men on each side formed a line placing a red carpet as a dark-skinned, red-haired man that resembled a lion wearing golden shoulder pad armor made of gold wearing a white shirt underneath walked between them before stopping about 20 feet away from us.

" Bow as you stand before the mighty Eldoraggo." The man said flexing his muscles with Achilles laughing his ass off.

[ Eldoraggo's Image ]

" What are you brats laughing at?" Eldoraggo said as this was probably not the reaction he expected from us.

" It's nothing you want our bounties and I want a proper fight. Let's get on with this." Achilles said, before appearing in front of Eldoraggo starting the fight.

I immediately merged with some of the trees behind me into a makeshift armor that surrounded my body before I rushed toward the remaining 10 members.

Around 6 of them had rifles whilst the others had swords with them so I decided to take out the ones with rifles. Some of them tried to fire at me but I dodged the bullets with a couple hitting me, but my armor took most of the impact.

The others tried to reload their rifles but it was too little too late, as I rushed at them and grabbed one of the bounty hunters and threw him towards the rest of his buddies like a ragdoll making them fall to the ground.

Giving me enough time to merge a machine gun from the rifles on the ground. I opened fire without a second thought shredding them apart whilst the four remaining watched with horror. But not as I opened fire at them killing all four.

[ A/N: I know the fights so far that I have written are really boring because so far they haven't fought anyone that could challenge them. And I see no reason to over exaggerate a fight when they are fighting against fodder cannons. But when they are in the grandline or fighting against their equal then those fights will be written better. At least I hope to write better fight scenes. ]

' Should I help Achilles? Nah, he got this.' I decided to join in if only Achilles is in dire need of help. I watched the fight closely, curious about the full strength of Achilles.

( 3rd Person Pov )

" So he uses golden nails as his weapon." Achilles thought looking at his right hand where there were five sharp nail marks where blood was coming out in small amounts.

' Just gotta be aware of his nails.' As Achilles was to attack once more, he saw Eldoraggo take a deep breath and roar loudly, as a sound blast looking like a laser beam came out from his mouth heading straight towards Achilles who dodged by moving to his right just barely in time.

The laser beam kept going straight destroying multiple trees in its way before stopping.

* Boom *

It caused a large explosion as everything in the beam's way was annihilated and blown to bits. There was only a giant crater left after the explosion.

" Now do you see the true power of Eldoraggo?

" I ate the shout- shout fruit making me a shouting human.

" Zazazaza"

Eldoraggo laughing sent another sound blast towards Achilles to which he countered by punching the air in front of him sending out a shockwave due to the force of the punch.

The two attacks collide in the middle causing another explosion.

* Boom *

Dust covered the whole area due to the explosion giving Achilles a chance to end as no one could see until the dust dispersed. As he could sense Eldoraggo for a brief moment due to observation haki before it went away.

"Moon Walk+ Iron Body"

Achilles was high up in the air before he descended fast whilst using iron body to harden his body to give him more strength.

Before Eldoraggo could launch another send blast, Achilles hit him directly in the head with the momentum Achilles gained, the ground below them cracked wide open forming a large crater.

' Ah, that should have killed him' Achilles thought to himself, getting up from the ground with some difficulty as he suffered some injuries to his head as well.

Eldoraggo was lying on the crater unconscious but Achilles wasn't sure if he was truly dead. Achilles was about to order Bullet to take care of the presumably but not yet confirmed dead man, but he didn't have to as Bullet opened fire at the knocked-out Eldoraggo.

" No need to keep a powerful enemy alive."

Bullet said walking up to Achilles.

" Yeah, you're right. Best to make sure he's dead. We don't want him chasing our asses around the North Blue."

" Now let's go look at our spoils of victory." Achilles said to Bullet looking at the giant ship of Eldoraggo.
