Twelve Cannon Shots!

A pirate with a bounty of fifty million is enough to dominate a region in 'Paradise'. Oma, who calls himself the 'Lion King', simply pounced, creating a huge shockwave as he rushed towards Bullet.

But no matter how aggressive he was, the huge height difference between them meant that the latter's shadow always loomed over the former, making the scene look somewhat strange.

"Iron Body Fist: Cannon!"

Bullet grinned, revealing a mocking sneer. The muscles in his right arm, which was as thick as half a person's waist, bulged out like a cannonball fired from a tank barrel, blasting away the sand and air currents that rushed towards him with a single punch.

[Boom!!]

A tremendous crash of limbs rang out, and the ground beneath the battleground instantly cracked open in a dense network of fissures. But this was not the end of it.

Although Oma was shocked that Bullet could block his attack, he was a veteran of countless battles on the high seas. He suppressed his emotions and viciously clawed at Barrett's throat with his left claw as a backup.

"Heart-Eating Claw!"

His move was often used to rip out the enemy's heart, which earned it the terrifying title from some busybodies. It was indeed quite powerful, effective at both close and long range.

If the two sides are far apart, they can even unleash lion claw-shaped air blades to intercept incoming warship shells in mid-air.

[Boom!]

"What?!"

Another muffled thud erupted as claws and fists met again in a blur, cracks spreading across the ground and the shattered gravel and dust that could be faintly seen rising from the ground.

Oma hadn't expected Bullet's punch to match the speed of his Heart-Eating Claw, but then his pupils shrank to almost nothing as a fist wrapped in visible air currents came crashing down on him!

"Hateful!"

[Bang! Bang! Bang!]

Oma's expression changed drastically. With all his might, he gritted his teeth and took three more punches from Bullet. But this time, with each collision, his burly body staggered back a step, each step crushing a piece of the ground.

However, Bullet's attack did not end there. Instead, seeing that Omar could withstand five of his punches, his excitement grew even higher. His two arms, which were already bulging with veins, continued to hammer at Oma like a hydraulic press.

"This guy is a monster!!"

Almost instantly, Oma, who had taken five punches of "cannon" in quick succession, felt his arms ache and go numb. He was exhausted, and the "Heart-Eating Claw" at full power was not so effective. But Bullet showed no signs of fatigue, and his movements remained fluid, swift, and fierce.

[Bang!!]

"Not good--"

Another punch, like a cannonball, completely smashed open the lion's claw, which could no longer be called a "Heart-Eating Claw." Then, the remaining six punches, like cannonballs fired in quick succession, broke into the lost defensive position and, under Oma's horrified gaze, slammed into the "lion man's" chest again and again.

[Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!]

Each thud represented a deep fist mark on Oma's body, and also the number of times blood spurted from his mouth.

Interestingly, although the two were extremely close, the blood splattered before it even touched Barrett because of the force of Bullet punch.

If we were to use an analogy to describe this "cannon" attack, it would be similar to Luffy's future Gear Second attack, "Gum-Gum Jet Machine Gun".

However, its attack frequency and number of attacks are not as high as the latter, currently it can only fire twelve shots in a row, but in terms of attack power, the 'cannon' is definitely more powerful.

Furthermore, Bullet doesn't need the so-called 'accelerated blood flow'. With the amplification of the Six Powers and the Zoan Mahes Form, he can achieve the 'Jet' effect entirely through his own physique!

[Boom!]

After six punches, "Heart-Eating Lion" Oma finally broke free from the raging "firepower," but he was flying backward, spitting blood, and even scraping a long, bloody dent into the ground along his path.

[Puff!]

Oma, who had finally managed to stop collapsing, coughed up the last mouthful of blood. Although the excruciating pain in his chest persisted, he was breathing more easily, though he still couldn't seem to stand up.

"You survived my 'Cannonball' combo? No wonder you're Zoan user, your body is in great shape!" Bullet looked at Oma in surprise. Even he, in his normal state, would have his arms swollen after throwing twelve punches in a row.

[Swish--]

But as soon as he finished speaking, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind him. It was so fast that Bullet had almost no chance to turn around. However, his reaction speed was far beyond that of an ordinary person, and he disappeared from the spot at the last second. The next moment, a black armored scorpion tail with a sharp hook flashed by and then quickly retracted.

"Another Zoan Devil Fruit user. What's that, a scorpion?"

Bullet's voice rang out, and he was already twenty meters to the north, observing Brady in his 'scorpion-like' form with great interest.

Its entire body was covered in smooth, jet-black insect armor, and its two hands had transformed into terrifying, enormous scorpion pincers. Behind it moved a flexible, hooked tail, the tip of which gleamed with a cold light and pointed directly at him.

"Zoan Spider-Spider Fruit, Emperor Scorpion Form!"

Although Brady looked a little grim because Bullet had dodged his sneak attack, he still followed the 'rules of the trade' and introduced his Devil Fruit ability.

In reality, if Bullet hadn't learned the Six Powers, he really wouldn't have been able to dodge it just now; at most, he could have transformed into 'Mahes' and taken a hit with his tail hook.

Unfortunately, reality is cruel; he and Oma were facing an upgraded version of Bullet!

"Not bad, just a bit stupid. You didn't even team up with that guy to attack, otherwise the two of you might have really given me some trouble." Bullet sneered as he walked step by step toward Brady.

"Hmph, who would have thought the mighty 'Heart-Eating Lion' would be defeated so quickly? I can only say I overestimated him and underestimated you." Brady retorted with a slightly embarrassed and annoyed smirk. "Besides, he's not dead yet. Zoan users will recover soon, and then it will be your death day!"

"Really? You've reminded me. I'll go kill him first!" Bullet grinned, stomped his foot on the ground, and used the momentum to charge towards Oma.

"Don't even think about it!!"

Brady was shocked, and his scorpion tail instantly transformed into a black Inazuma bolt, shooting out. But Bullet suddenly turned around, laughing wildly, "Just waiting for you!"

Laughing loudly, he threw a powerful right punch, while simultaneously placing his left fist at his waist, ready to strike. But just as the scorpion tail was about to collide with the fist's force, the black hook flicked and coiled like a python, dodging the heavy blow. Then it spread up his arm and finally tightened its grip.

Logically speaking, a scorpion's tail shouldn't be this flexible, but Brady trained it to this extent, and most of his skills were based on this tail.

"Come here. Uh."
