Power Progression

Background

Bullet entered the battlefield at eight, wiped out a company at ten, and destroyed a country at twelve. He said his country’s general feared his achievements and plotted to sell him; the general also tied him to an operating table and attempted to dissect him. After fleeing the battlefield, Bullet was captured by pirates and sold as a slave 5 11.

Lin Yuan found the wounded Bullet in the lower hold of a burning ship. Bullet agreed to join his fight against the World Government, Celestial Dragons, and Five Elders, warning that he would kill Lin Yuan if betrayed. The two survived and trained together on a reef for half a month before heading toward Impel Down 5.

Appearance

When Lin Yuan first found him, Bullet was a wounded boy with torn clothing and a fierce gaze 5.

• His exposed skin bore burns and blade scars 5.
• His eyes were described as startlingly bright and wolf-like 5.
• He later had a muscular build and old scars across his arms 114.

Personality

Bullet is direct, wary of betrayal, and exhilarated by difficult fights. His experiences left him wanting to destroy the world that had oppressed him. Although he initially threatened Lin Yuan over the possibility of betrayal, he came to regard him as a partner rather than someone he served 5 36.

He relishes testing his strength and frequently spars with Kaido, but he can recognize an opponent’s weakness rather than relying on force alone. Against Warcury, he observed the pauses in the Elder’s defensive markings and adjusted his attacks to exploit them 28 114.

Abilities & Skills

Physical combat

Bullet fights primarily with his fists, combining exceptional strength with endurance and Haki. He stated that he had no Devil Fruit and wanted to develop his physical combat and Haki instead 5 86.

• Smashed holes in Marine warships and broke their masts with punches 12 29.
• Cracked Jozu’s diamond-covered arms during a friendly match, although Bullet’s own fists were bloodied 72.
• Often attacks head-on; Warcury identified his lack of feints and tendency to commit fully to each blow as weaknesses 114.

Armament Haki

Bullet uses Armament Haki for full-body defense and concentrated attacks.

• His hardened body withstood CP Agents’ Haki-coated Shigan attacks and Seastone bullets, though a stronger Rankyaku slash cut his arm 36.
• Zephyr trained him to compress Armament Haki from his body into his fist and fingertips to increase penetration 62.
• Against Tie Lan, he forced out part of her venom and used Haki to suppress the remaining neurotoxin below his shoulder. His left arm remained unusable 80.

Conqueror’s Haki

Bullet awakened Conqueror’s Haki at God Valley. After Wano, Zephyr prescribed daily practice because Bullet’s coating was inconsistent outside moments of intense fighting 80 86.

• Conqueror’s Iron Fist — A coated punch he used to defeat Tie Lan without killing her 80.
• Conqueror: Shatter Armor — Concentrates Conqueror’s Haki into his fist. Against Warcury, Bullet struck the same point twice, stalling the Elder’s impact-absorbing markings and exhausting his transformed state 114.
• His concentrated punch cracked Imu’s protective wall, but the wall healed before he could strike again 117.

Observation Haki

Bullet sensed the trajectory of a feline Mink’s rapid attack, although he chose not to dodge and suffered cuts to his arm 89.

Relationships

• Kaido — Frequent sparring partner. Their rivalry continued through preparations for Wano and the defense of Hachinosu 28 75 103.

• Inazuma — Fellow member of Lin Yuan’s group. Zephyr assigned Bullet to instruct Inazuma in physical combat 86.
