Be Bullet's King?

I'm right here!

"I am coming!!"

Bullet landed from the sky, and as soon as he touched the beach of Z Island, a large amount of golden Inazuma burst out from his body. His entire form quickly transformed into a lion-man, and then he roared towards the inland areas of the island. Driven by the Sonic Boom energy, his voice resounded through the sky.

"This guy is really reckless."

Somewhere on the island, upon hearing this declaration coming from afar, Kuzan paused for a moment, then shook his head and let out a soft breath. He was truly impressed by this kid.

He arrived on the island about seven or eight minutes earlier Bullet, and saw that the surrounding area was already a polar landscape, with three 'ice men' standing on the ice with terrified expressions.

These prisoners, who had just gained their 'freedom' from Impel Down's 'Beast Hell,' had just tried to eat Kuzan alive.

"That's pretty arrogant, but this time I won't let you steal the spotlight all by yourself!" Tokikake sneered, but his direction of movement veered slightly off course.

In another location, Gion remained silent, but covered his face with a look of helplessness, with two prisoners lying in pools of blood beside him.

Meanwhile, students everywhere, though many disliked Bullet's arrogance and some even complained that he was too cocky, all moved away from the direction from which the roar came, just like Tokikake.

Just kidding, everyone knows this isn't just a training session, it's also an opportunity to show off in front of all the big shots. Even if they don't get to fight in the final battle, it's good to persevere a little longer.

At that moment, Bullet seemed to have truly become the king of beasts on Z Island, causing everyone to give him a wide berth, except for the prisoners who didn't recognize him.

"Principal, aren't the prisoners of this batch too high quality? I'm worried that there might be casualties among the trainees." On the warship outside the island, a Lieutenant Colonel said to Zephyr beside him.

"Hmph, back in the first session, I thought the prisoners of 'Crimson Hell' were too weak. They were completely overrun by that brat Vidal and didn't serve as any real opponents. I won't make the same mistake this time!"

Zephyr snorted coldly. The previous Z Island melee was one thing, since there weren't many good prospects, but this year's students are much better.

Besides Bullet, Kuzan, Saul, and a few others, there were four other trainees he had high hopes for.

Therefore, he upgraded most of the prisoners he sent to Z Island from 'Crimson Hell' to 'Beast Hell', and even a few from 'Starvation Hell'. These were all ruthless characters with bounties of over 50 million Beli!

"Don't worry, I've already sent people to keep an eye on those guys. If anything goes wrong, they'll take action."

Seeing the teachers around him still looking worried, Zephyr explained the things he had arranged in advance, and then turned his gaze to the large screen floating in mid-air.

The large screen displayed the real-time updates of each student, divided into fifty sections.

"Hey, look, that guy is actually heading towards Bullet!" In the conference room at the Sabaody Marine Base, Major Vincent suddenly pointed to a screen in the lower right corner and said.

Vidal immediately turned his gaze, and sure enough, the student in the image was rushing towards Bullet's location.

"That location is very close to Bullet's position. That's quite a feat. What's that kid's name?" Comil asked in surprise.

Don't be surprised that they can pinpoint the trainees' locations with just a small part of the screen; it's because Vidal, Dragon, Comil, and Vincent are extremely familiar with Z Island, having fought there countless times.

This is something that other officers who did not come from the Zephyr Training Camp cannot do, even if they have watched the live broadcast of the previous two melees.

"With that look and those abilities, he really is a future Vice Admiral." Vidal recognized the brave cadet at a glance.

At this moment, Bullet had no idea that someone was brazenly attacking him, the Lion King, because standing in front of him were two 'orcs,' one of whom was actually a 'lion-man' just like him!

"Hey kid, you were the one howling just now, weren't you? You've got a really loud voice. Or are you a superhuman?" The unremarkable, unexciting 'lion-man' looked at Bullet with a mocking expression.

In fact, he is quite robust, standing over two meters tall. With his Zoan- like muscles and ferocious face, he does indeed look somewhat intimidating to most people.

But when faced with Bullet, who is over three meters tall and has even more exaggerated muscles, he looks like a child.

This also stirred a violent impulse within Oma, whose mind was somewhat twisted from being tortured in Impel Down. He wanted to dismember Bullet and then eat him!

Even if he wasn't hungry now, the navy had already fed him. After all, these prisoners came from the 'Starvation Hell,' and if you didn't give them something to eat, they would be too hungry to fight.

"Is this 'Heart-Eating Lion' Oma with a bounty of 58 million Beli? I'm 'Guillotine' Brady with a bounty of 53 million Beli. How about we team up and wipe out all the Marine brats on this island?"

A burly, dark-skinned man ignored Bullet as if he were nobody and asked Oma, who was standing to the side.

"I can accept being your subordinate."

"You're joking, it's just a collaboration. Anyway, I don't believe the navy outside will actually change our prison as agreed. Since that's the case, why not kill a few more to make them feel the pinch!" Brady seemed to have a good temper and continued to try to get Oma's consent.

"Hmph, I don't have the habit of cooperating with people, but I would be somewhat interested in killing everyone on the island," Oma said jokingly.

"Hello--"

Suddenly, Bullet interrupted their discussion, stretching his muscles and thick neck as he sneered, "That's enough with the last words. I'm tired of hearing them. Killing you all according to the rules doesn't seem like a problem. So let's get started."

"Do you really want to die?"

Oma's sharp lion claws throbbed with rage, his eyes filled with savage killing intent.

"Then I'll grant your wish!!"

[Bang--]

The bare yellow earth trembled instantly, the lion's paws crushing countless chunks of hard soil. The 'Heart-Eating Lion' approached Bullet, its right hand's sharp five claws slicing through the air with a piercing whooshing sound.

However, he didn't notice that Brady behind him didn't follow immediately. Instead, Brady slowly circled around behind Bullet without making a move, and he didn't even activate his Devil Fruit ability.

Brady sensed something was off about Bullet's smirking face, so he wanted to see how effective the attack would be!

"It's your honor to die at the hands of the ' Lion King'— " Oma roared almost madly as he lunged forward.

The years he spent in Impel Down had driven him mad. He had been starving and surviving by eating the prisoners, which had completely extinguished the last vestiges of his humanity.

At that moment, he was a true wild lion!

"The Lion King?"

Upon hearing this, Bullet raised an eyebrow. His own power was also the Lion-Lion Fruit; did this mean he wanted to be his king?
