Battle Against Bullet

Time flies, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Basire and Bullet found a deserted island for a decisive battle.

Bullet has been imprisoned in Impel Down for 21 years, but he still trained silently and continuously in a state of extreme concentration.

However, in Impel down, he simply didn't have enough food to support him getting stronger.

It would be nice if he doesn't get weaker.

However, the loneliness made his heart more determined. While in prison, he already wanted to kill the Yonkōs and Marine Admirals to prove that he was stronger than Roger.

He wants to surpass Roger and become the strongest in the world.

He's been eating like crazy these past two days, but it's not enough time to recover from the 21 years of degeneration.

He knew that there was a high probability that he would not be able to defeat Basire today, but he still wanted to fight.

Because he lives to fight!

He believed that given a year or two, he would be able to return to his peak and become even stronger, and then it would be time for him and Basire to truly fight.

"Come on, Bullet, if you only have this strength now, it's not enough to fight me."

"But today, I will only use one devil fruit ability to compete with you a bit more fairly."

Basire chuckled. The current Bullet, even after two days of recovery, might be about the same as the old Rayleigh, or even weaker.

In the original time and space, Bullet also spent two years recovering and strengthening before he held a pirate expo, and then a lot of people had to band together in order to defeat him.

In that battle, Bullet fought alone against Smoker and a group of Marines, Revolutionary Army's Sabo, CP0's Rob Lucci, 11 Supernovas, Sand Crocodile, Boa Hancock, and Buggy.

Which shows how strong he is. After all, there were people like Straw Hat Luffy, Trafalgar Law, and Kid.

These three supernova captains later defeated the two Yonkōs, Big Mom and Kaido.

"Basire, I don't need your pity, use all your strength!!"

Bullet immediately became angry when he heard Basire's words. Since when did he need someone else going easy on him?!

"Then break my devil fruit ability first!"

Basire said seriously. Now his barrier fruit ability is very close to awakening, he wants to see if he can awaken the barrier fruit through Bullet's pressure.

Of the remaining three devil fruits, the dark fruit is the most developed, followed by the tremor fruit, and the incomplete artificial dragon fruit has to swallow Kaido's dragon fruit before it has a chance to develop to the point of awakening.

And if he uses the dark fruit, he can almost completely suppress Bullet's devil fruit ability, so this battle will not be of much significance.

"Ah!! Even Roger is not as crazy as you!"

Bullet shouted angrily, his pupils suddenly shrank into pinpricks, and his body tensed, stimulating his powerful physique.

He infused his body with Armament Haki, and even his skin turned blue-red, and his speed and strength were greatly improved, just like a devil from hell. This is one of the reasons why he is called Demon Heir.

"Your Armament Haki can actually fuse with your body??"

Basire looked at Bullet in surprise. This was not an ordinary Armament Haki covering the skin. Instead, it was briefly combined with the muscles of the whole body to greatly enhance physical fitness, strength and speed.

While other Armament Haki simply harden the skin, forming invisible armor, and can capture Logia's physical form.

This reminded Basire of the principle of black bones.

Bullet should have mastered a more advanced method of using armament haki, right?

Is it possible for armament haki to dye his bones and muscles black?

"Basire, use all your strength, don't show off here!"

Bullet clenched his fist as thick as a water tank, disappeared instantly, and exploded with a punch on Basire's body.

Boom~!

The entire island was shaking. With Basire as the origin, a large amount of soil with a radius of hundreds of meters was violently shaken up, and the entire ground was sunk by tens of centimeters.

The air wave that erupted from this terrifying blow reached the Ark Maxim and Groseade that were hundreds of meters away. The other crew members came to watch the battle in front of the island.

"What a terrifying power! I don't think I can stop it!"

Burgess said while feeling a bit horrified, although his body is very strong and can withstand the fists of Garp and Sengoku, but now he suddenly realized that Garp and Sengoku did not use their real power at all.

This made his eyelids twitch and he felt a little lucky.

"This is not Bullet's peak strength yet!"

Redfield and Crocodile both said seriously, and they now admitted that Bullet was indeed stronger than them.

The Red Count felt that he had to regain his youth before he could suppress Bullet. His old body, now in his seventies, had no way to defeat Bullet, who was in his prime in his forties.

"Hmph! He will still be beaten by Basire-sama"

The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock snorted disdainfully. In her eyes, Basire was the strongest.

The other women also spoke up one after another, supporting their man, who would definitely be able to easily suppress Bullet.

Shirahoshi and Shyarly were also watching the battle. They hadn't expected that they would witness the terrifying battle of people at the top of the world.

As the smoke from the huge explosion dispersed, Basire was still standing there, with a smooth barrier blocking Bullet's fierce punch.

"Not enough! It's still not enough!!"

Basire hasn't felt the limit of the barrier fruit yet, he can still bear it!

Bullet's face became extremely serious when he saw Basire receiving his fierce blow so easily.

Endless armament haki surged out of Bullet, and the flowing haki was like a tsunami, crushing the surrounding objects into powder wherever it went.

The flowing armament haki quickly bypassed the protective barrier in front of Basire and rushed towards Basire's body.

"It's not over yet!"

Black and red lightning appeared on Bullet's body, especially his right fist, which was surrounded by even denser black and red lightning.

Bullet's whole body muscles pulsed, his right arm muscles swelled, and he launched his strongest attack on Basire.
