Haki Coating!

Although Bullet had been held on Underground Level 6 of Impel Down ever since being captured by the Marines, he had never given up training, even here.

Every day, he pushed himself through high-intensity basic training whenever possible.

Whether it was strength, speed, or technique, he was practically flawless even among the many pirates.

The kind of bodily rust Kaze had mentioned would never happen to him.

Kaze and Bullet clashed forcefully once again, their strength nearly evenly matched.

Only when the shockwave they created forced them apart did they separate.

Neither side suffered any substantial injury.

Instead, the floor beneath them, unable to withstand such terrifying power, began to collapse and crumble.

Bullet slid several meters from where he stood before coming to a stop.

His fighting spirit soared.

He raised his head and looked at Kaze in the air, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

It had truly been a long time since he had felt this excited, this eager to defeat someone.

But at that moment, the shattered floor fragments and gravel created by his clash with Kaze began rising from the ground at a visible speed.

They all flew toward Bullet.

This was not Kaze's method of attack.

Although he could control such things with Magnet Release, he had no intention of using that power.

Those materials were all responding to Bullet.

"The power of a Devil Fruit."

Kaze's eyes narrowed as he observed Bullet's movements.

As a Transmigrator, he knew Bullet quite well.

Aside from being able to coat his attacks with Conqueror's Haki, Bullet's other terrifying aspect was his Devil Fruit.

That was right.

Although the Roger Pirates crew tended to reject Devil Fruits, Bullet had become a Devil Fruit user even before joining Roger.

And his Fruit was the Paramecia-type Combine-Combine Fruit!
