Bullet's Transformation!
Saul did not respond to Bullet's arrogant taunts, but his movements did not slow down at all. He threw punch after punch, and the air in front of him became chaotic. The surging air waves turned into a gale that swept across the entire field.
This time, however, the golden 'lion-man' did not choose to meet the attack head-on. Instead, it dodged one Giant Fist after another amidst the rapid Sonic Booms. As for the wind and waves that were powerful enough to lift houses, they had no effect on its movements.
"That guy's fast!"
Saul saw Bullet closing in on him relentlessly, he began to understand what the latter had said earlier.
His punching speed wasn't actually slow, but just like a person whose movements are quite normal, even agile, within a human group, it's still difficult to keep up with the rapid turn of a mosquito or fly.
For Bullet, his agility was still insufficient. Relying on the Sonic Boom energy generated under his feet, even without the perception of Observation Haki, he could still dodge out of the range of the Giant Fist in time.
The Geppo itself produces a sonic boom when it is used, but he just uses his ability to Sonic Boom, which makes his Geppo much faster than ordinary people. Of course, it is also much noisier, as if each step will create a thunderclap!
[Boom!!]
Even if Bullet were to unleash its full speed, it would be impossible to evade all attacks as the distance between them closed.
[Whoosh--]
Saul transformed his fist into a palm, slamming it down with a thick wave of air. Bullet stopped his movement without hesitation, and a large amount of Inazuma gathered on his arm again before blasting it out fiercely!
"Iron Body Fist: Sonic Boom Cannon!"
[Bang--]
The twelve punches delivered in almost five seconds prevented the giant's strike from advancing any further. When the force of the collision reached its limit, the surging air currents pushed the two apart once again.
This time, Bullet didn't waste any words. As soon as he stopped flying backward, he burst forward with a maniacal laugh, heading straight for the retreating Saul.
Even a mosquito or a fly is still an insect that can go toe-to-toe with a human in terms of strength!
Can you imagine the scene where, when someone successfully swats a mosquito, it forcefully pushes their hand back, even causing them to lose their balance?
This is the scene that everyone is witnessing at this moment, and it is also the shocking scene that Gion Tokikake, who have just arrived at the edge of the center, see.
A golden lion-man Coating in lightning and thunder is engaged in close combat with a giant, even colliding head-on with him from time to time, yet they remain evenly matched!
The sight left both the girl and the boy speechless, completely at a loss for words.
"Monster"
After a long silence, Tokikake finally let out a soft sigh. In his eyes, Bullet was a complete monster. Although he had always thought he was a monster, now it seemed that he was not only a monster, but a monstrous, perverted monster!
Not to mention them, Saul, who was engaged in battle, also felt the pressure from Bullet. He no longer had the composure and confidence he had at the beginning, and a feeling called tension began to surround him.
The giant's movements became more violent and rapid; he even began to pant heavily, and a bead of hot sweat appeared on his forehead.
Until the dazzling Inazuma broke through his attack and appeared before Saul's wide-eyed eyes, his pupils contracted, but Bullet's face revealed a mocking sneer.
Even judging from the rapid rise and fall of his chest, he wasn't exactly relaxed!
In a short period of intense combat, Barrett had to use Geppo and Sonic Boom at a high density, and also had to unleash a full set of Sonic Boom Cannons to counter Saul from time to time. Even Bullet was somewhat exhausted for a while.
After all, his body hadn't fully developed yet, and his physical skills weren't at a very high level.
"Hiss--"
Bullet took a deep breath of oxygen through his nostrils. As the oxygen entered his body, all the muscles in his body instantly swelled up again—and this was in his Human-Beast Form!
"Iron Body Fist - Sonic Boom Grenade Cannon!!"
A tremendous roar erupted from the lion's mouth, which was full of fangs, and flashes of golden Inazuma flickered around it.
The next moment, the two thick, veiny arms moved, then disappeared, transforming into streaks of golden afterimages that created layers of air in front of them before finally slamming into Saul's face.
[Bang bang]
A series of incredibly dense and rapid high-frequency attacks resounded throughout the center of Z Island, and simultaneously, thanks to a large number of Den Den Mushi, reached the ears of the naval leaders in various locations.
Bullet's grenade cannon attack seemed to be more than just twelve punches. Vidal watched speechlessly as he knocked Saul to the ground in agony, then, ignoring the ground cracked by the Titan's weight, continued to bombard the massive face relentlessly.
The powerful punch, combined with the Sonic Boom, clearly stunned Saul. His nose was broken, blood gushed out, and the area around his mouth became a bloody mess, with screams echoing throughout the room.
But Bullet completely ignored it. Even as he was pushing himself to the limit and his arm muscles began to ache, he didn't stop his furious punches and gritted his teeth as he continued to pound away.
Don't let me get hurt?
Let's see who gets hurt first, and who gets hurt more badly!
Giant Tribe, right?
You think you can overpower me with your strength?
I've wanted to beat up a giant for ages!
Bullet now wanted to see whether his arm would stop first, or whether Saul, the Giant Tribe, would perish first.
As for whether losing consciousness means he's done for, or being beaten to death, nobody knows, not even himself. He's just going to keep fighting.
"Enough! You've gone too far!"
Ice Time Capsule
Just then, a cold voice rang in Bullet's ears, and a cloud of white, cold shockwave rushed in from afar, instantly freezing the latter, who was still engrossed in the bombardment.
The sounds of striking and thundering ceased instantly, and the field finally returned to its usual tranquility.
Kuzan walked to Saul's side, or rather, to his head, and looking at the horribly disfigured face, his expression darkened, and his face became even more furrowed.
"Are you trying to kill him, Bullet!"
Although he had only known Saul for a short time, their previous enthusiastic conversation had already established him as a friend of the giant.
[Crack--]
[Bang!]
A Sonic Boom rang out, and the ice covering Bullet shattered. He stood atop Saul's chest, looking down at Kuzan.
"His death only proves that he was nothing special, and that the Giant Tribe were nothing special either!"
"However, I must thank you Kuzan."
Kuzan, bewildered, coldly met Bullet's gaze above him and asked, "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for cooling me down; it seems to have caused some strange changes in my body."
At this moment, an even more intense electric current erupted from Bullet's body; if before it could only be described as bright, now it was dazzling.
When Kuzan opened his eyes, which he had unconsciously closed, the first thing he saw was a majestic golden lion standing proudly on Saul's back.
It was, however, a giant Golden Lion that was five or six meters tall!
"He's gotten bigger, what happened?" Gion murmured to herself from Gion.
