Chapter 110: Douglas Bullet

Charlotte recalled the introduction of Bullet in the story of the Pirate King.

Douglas Bullet, known as the "Devil's Heir" and hailed as the successor of the "Ghost" (a heroic title), was a heroic figure.

When Bullet was a child in the military, all the young soldiers were called "bullets" and each was given a number. He was No. 9.

The Captain of their unit was named Douglas. So, he was called "the 9th bullet of the Douglas Unit," which was the origin of his name, Douglas Bullet.

Bullet was once a military man. At a young age, he headed to the battlefield. His strength was extremely formidable, and he was hailed as a "hero" by many.

Later, because of the kingdom's betrayal, Bullet began to live in exile overseas.

Then he met Roger and boarded his ship. As a precious combat force, he was active in that era. At that time, he was comparable to Rayleigh, the vice - captain. However, Bullet didn't feel proud; instead, he intensified his training.

His extraordinary strength even came infinitely close to that of the Pirate King.

He was so powerful that even his comrades in the Roger Pirates called him a Monster.

But when Roger got sick, he was greatly affected.

After Gol D. Roger was executed,

Bullet went astray and became paranoid. He rampaged in the New World, wantonly destroying islands and turning the sea upside down. Eventually, he was arrested during a Buster Call led by the Navy, Navy rear - admiral Garp and Admiral Sengoku.

Finally, he was imprisoned in Level 6 of Impel Down.

Later, he escaped during the commotion caused by Blackbeard and was then called the "most heinous escapee in history."

After his escape, he joined forces with Festa and attacked the "Pirate Expo."

Bullet only trusted his own strength. From childhood to later on, he only pursued power whole - heartedly.

He showed all his emotions on his face.

He believed that the weak couldn't survive on this sea.

Having suffered repeated betrayals, he couldn't trust anyone anymore. So he thought that as long as he became the strongest, he wouldn't have to rely on anyone.

He only believed in his own strength and thought that he could surpass everyone and obtain everything with his own power.

Moreover, having grown up in the military since childhood, Bullet had extremely powerful combat abilities. Even in the Great Prison, he didn't forget to do high - intensity basic training every day.

His strength, speed, skills, and physical strength were all impeccable.

He possessed the Paramecia - type Union Union Fruit.

This fruit gave him the ability to arrange and combine all objects, making them merge. He could make inanimate objects he touched fuse with his own body. Moreover, he could not only merge them with his body but also combine inanimate objects and rearrange them to create new weapons. For example, he could build a submarine or weapons out of scrap iron and rubble.

Growing up on the battlefield since childhood, Bullet used this ability to create an endless supply of weapons.

He was also one of the few fruit - ability awakeners.

He could use the ability of the Union Union Fruit within a relatively large range, involving everything around him.

Therefore, he could collect a large number of weapons and rubble. Even in an environment with scarce supplies, he could use the ability of the Union Union Fruit to create weapons infinitely.

He could create weapons of unimaginable sizes or armor to enshroud himself. 

It can be said that Barrett's life was a tragic one. It made Charlotte even more determined to change his miserable life.

Well, actually, Charlotte was coveting the power Barrett possessed.

Such a powerful force would definitely come in handy for him in the future.

Charlotte was quite confident. He could persuade the seven - or eight - year - old Barrett to join his crew.

He also believed that he could change Barrett's future.

As long as Barrett didn't go through all that pain and betrayal, he would surely become Charlotte's greatest Suke.

In fact, Charlotte had already come up with a plan in his mind.

Since Barrett was an orphan, Charlotte thought he might be able to bond with him through the feeling of family.

This idea was inspired by what happened when Elena told him that she had taken Panis as her younger sister.

Charlotte could take Barrett as his younger brother or make him his first mate. Thinking about it, Charlotte was even more eager to get Barrett on board.

Sitting on the bow of the ship, Charlotte stared ahead.

Watching their boss sitting alone on the bow, giggling like a fool, Paul and Isaac knew it couldn't be anything good, though they didn't know what he was laughing about. They exchanged a look and both shook their heads. Then they stopped thinking about such nonsense.

More than an hour later!

Sitting on the bow and seeing the dark spot in the distance, Charlotte instantly jumped to his feet.

They were there!

The place known as the land of endless war.

Before the ship even docked, unable to contain his excitement any longer, Charlotte just leaped off the ship.

"Who's there!"

Charlotte's sudden move startled the royal soldiers guarding the dock. They immediately surrounded him with their weapons.

Charlotte frowned slightly as he looked at the people around him brandishing all kinds of weapons.

Just as he was about to do something!

"Damn it! They're pirates!"

The leader of the soldiers, a sub-captain, seemed to recognize Charlotte and shouted at the top of his voice.

This made Charlotte raise an eyebrow. So they recognized him.

But before Charlotte could react, the sub-captain threw down his weapon and ran away at once.

The other soldiers stood there, stunned. But seeing their sub-captain running, they thought, why should they stay?

In a short while, the more than a dozen soldiers who had surrounded Charlotte all fled.

Charlotte shook his head and didn't dwell on such things anymore.

He was quite confident in his own reputation.

As one of the few big-time pirates on the sea, especially in the New World, it was quite normal for people to recognize him.

After the ship docked.

"Boss!"

More than twenty people on the ship disembarked one after another. Among them, Elena was leading Panis off the ship.

"Leave some people to guard the ship. The rest go and prepare some supplies. Elena and I will take a walk on this island! Signal us if there's anything!"

Charlotte gave his orders to everyone methodically.

"Yes, boss!"

Everyone replied in unison!

Charlotte nodded and then took Elena's hand and walked towards the center of the island.

Elena was about to resist, but Charlotte gave her a look and she stopped.

Then he held Elena's hand, and the two of them walked towards the island together.

Panis followed them in small steps.

Paul and Isaac glanced at them.

"I'll stay and guard the ship!"

Isaac volunteered to speak.

Paul nodded and took more than a dozen crew members to the market town on the island.

"Oh no! The pirate Charlotte, The Great Blood - Sword Hero with a bounty of one billion berries, has invaded!"

The sub - captain who had fled earlier ran all the way to a large military camp and shouted.

"Douglas! What did you just say? The pirate Charlotte, the one who escaped from the Admiral in the Sabaody Archipelago? How did he get here?"

A shogun was inspecting the military camp when he saw a sub - captain running towards him in a panic. He was about to yell at him, but his face immediately tightened after hearing what he said.
