Twin Heroes Battle Bullet! Sea Dominance!
Somewhere in the New World, the sea suddenly rose and fell, with huge waves surging up.
Amidst the raging waves, a massive ship, as large as an island, slowly emerged from the seabed.
"Finally back in the New World."
Crocodile stood on the towering wall at the edge of the giant ship. "I didn't expect it to take so long."
The ship was so big that they secretly recruited many coating experts and it took them quite a long time to finally succeed in coating it.
This was only possible with the help of someone's abilities; otherwise, it would have taken even longer.
"What's the next step?"
Standing beside him, Moria spoke up, "Should we go straight to Kaido or Ian for revenge?"
Crocodile turned around, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "What nonsense are you spouting? The people of the sea call us the Fifth Emperor. Do you really think of yourself as an emperor?"
"Leaving aside whether Ryde can defeat Ian or Kaido, why would Ryde fight them? Can we offer commensurate compensation?"
Moria scratched his head, then remembered that the Cross Guild was not the same as his former pirate crew, which had been destroyed by Ian and Kaido.
Apart from the middle-level managers and lower-level clerks, the upper-level members are merely sticking together for mutual support; there is no close relationship between them whatsoever.
"The most urgent task now is to find a place to stay."
Crocodile said, "Otherwise, those people who come to us for their payment won't know where to look for us."
Furthermore, the funds needed to cover the bounty will depend on the location of the base we find next.
"However, there aren't many territories left for us to choose from in the New World."
Moria said.
Crocodile sneered, "Have you forgotten the pirate's duty? Aren't there still plenty of territories controlled by the World Government?"
Hehehehe!
Moria suddenly burst into laughter, "Crocodile, that's exactly what I admire about you!"
"Don't forget what you found for Ryde."
Crocodile said, "If that guy really gets a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, he can indeed become even stronger, which wouldn't be a bad thing for us."
"In addition,"
He looked at Moria, "You could try talking to that guy Ryde more often."
"Ah?"
Moria was somewhat confused.
Crocodile did not explain.
Having spent so much time together, he suddenly had an idea about Ryde.
That guy might not actually hate his partner.
Then let Moria, who really values his comrades, spend more time with Ryde.
It might have a miraculous effect.
"By the way, any news about World's old comrades?"
"The news has already been published in the newspaper. They should come looking for us once we've settled in, right?"
"World's abilities are incredibly powerful! This time, it was all thanks to him that we were able to enlarge the coating; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to enter the New World so easily."
Crocodile said, "We need to find a way to keep this guy here."
"Will it work?"
Moria said, "That guy was betrayed by his subordinates back then, and now he's only thinking about taking revenge on the World Government."
Let me think about it some more.
Crocodile, puffing on his cigarette, said, "No rush, there's still time."
Moria gazed at the boundless blue sea and suddenly said, "I wonder where that Bullet guy went. It's a real shame we didn't bring him here."
"That bastard went mad after Roger died,"
Crocodile casually remarked, "Unless Roger is resurrected, no one can persuade him."
He glanced at Moria. "Instead of thinking about that guy, you bastard, you should focus on training and get back to your peak as soon as possible."
Hehehehe!
Moria laughed heartily, touching his belly which had thinned considerably.
The enormous ship moved as smoothly as if it were flat land on the seas of the New World, slowly disappearing into the horizon.
Almost simultaneously, on Hachinosu Island.
It's getting closer; the island is almost there.
Standing at the bow of the ship Bullet could clearly see the group of enormous giants on the beach.
And in front of the giants, there was the man still leisurely sitting in a deck chair, drinking a beverage.
Hahahaha!
Bullet's smile was sinister, like that of a demon.
Is it an unprecedented monster?
Then let me see just how powerful this so-called monster really is!
Everyone's saying you're the most likely to become the new Pirate King, the most likely to surpass Roger!
Then let me take a good look!
The large ship roared forward, Hachinosu Island was now in sight.
However, the people on the beach showed no intention of organizing themselves.
So the warship crashed straight onto the beach, continuing forward and leaving a deep trail in the sand.
At the same time, Bullet leaped into the air and then, like a meteorite, hurtled towards Ian was sitting calmly in his recliner.
"Ian of the Scorched Sky! Come and fight!!"
Bullet threw a punch, his fist turning a purplish-black color.
Ian looked up and just watched quietly.
"Hehehe! Who attacks Admiral right from the start!"
Solemn grinned and raised his warhammer, then swung it around suddenly like he was hitting a golf ball.
Boom!!
The next moment, Bullet's iron fist and Solemn's warhammer collided violently, the air vibrated, and a gale howled.
"Whoa whoa whoa!!"
Solemn's expression suddenly changed. "Wow! Such powerful strength!!"
He staggered backward, nearly falling to the ground.
Even so, Bullet was still bounced back by Solemn, crashing heavily onto the beach and kicking up sand.
Ian put down his drink, which was still half full, and looked at the Devil's Heir in front of him with some curiosity.
He was quite tall, about five meters, and wore military uniform of some unknown country. A huge scar was visible on his neck, extending down from the right side of his collar.
With his long, flowing blond hair, he looked like a Super Saiyan, and his physique was extremely strong. However, like Teacher Kai, he didn't train his legs and had these two short legs.
"The Devil's Heir, Douglas Bullet,"
Ian said quietly, "Roger's former comrade, what brings you here?"
To be honest, Ian felt that this guy was a little unsuitable for the nickname "Devil's Heir".
What did he inherit from Roger?
Even if this title doesn't go to Ace, shouldn't it be given to Red-Haired Luffy?
Ace's expression shifted slightly.
Was he one of that guy's former comrades?
He scrutinized Bullet closely; he seemed like a very formidable fellow.
"Hahaha! Didn't I already say that?"
Bullet stared intently at Ian, "Just for,"
"Let's fight!"
With a powerful push from his right leg, the ground trembled violently and the sand shattered as his right foot slammed into the ground.
The Bullet really did transform into Bullet bullet, hurtling towards them.
This guy's aura is terrifyingly strong!
He's the best opponent ever!!
This is going to be the ultimate climactic battle!
Ian, however, remained unresponsive.
"Thunder Bagua!"
A gleaming iron rod suddenly appeared from the side of the field of vision, bringing with it a terrifying chill.
"Perfume Femur!"
On the other side of the line of sight, a long, slender, yet jet-black leg kicked out.
Bullet was furious.
Are they all going to stop me, one by one?
Clenched fists, he suddenly slammed them down!
Boom!!
The Haki, domineering collision transformed into a dazzling burst of Inazuma, both black and white.
Yamato and Hancock slid backward, each leaving two deep marks on the ground.
Bullet took two steps back, then looked down at the two stunning beauties before him with a fierce glare, "Get the hell out of my way!"
"Your Haki is incredibly strong! Neither my abilities nor the snake woman's abilities worked!"
White fur gradually grew on Yamato's body, and he had directly entered beastman form. "This is truly exhilarating!!"
Ian agreed with this.
Bullet's Armament Haki is just ordinary hardening.
However, its strength is frighteningly high.
Yamato's freezing air and Hancock's petrifying power were both blocked.
"You are not worthy to be Ian's opponent!"
Hancock said coldly, "Have some self-awareness!"
"..."
Bullet's lips curled into a sneer, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. "I said, get the hell out of my way!!"
Buzz!
A violent aura crashed down upon Yamato and his companion.
However, Yamato's lips curled into a smile.
Almost simultaneously, Yamato and Hancock glared at each other.
Buzz!!
Two equally ferocious auras surged from the two of them, charging straight at Bullet.
The three forces suddenly collided, the beach trembled, and black Inazuma flashed.
"What?"
Bullet was suddenly taken aback. Were these two women also users of Conqueror's Haki?
Moreover, what about this strength?
The two of them combined have already suppressed his Conqueror's Haki!
"Oh, this guy looks like he's still a long way off."
Hiding beside Ian, Luo, who was watching the battle, commented, "Even Yamato and Hancock can't suppress them?"
Does someone with that kind of strength dare to challenge Ian?
I can't quite see myself clearly.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Yamato, Hancock,"
Ian said casually, "The two of you should be fine."
but.
"I'm enough on my own!" x2
Yamato and Hancock spoke almost simultaneously.
Hancock tossed her long hair, looked at Bullet with disdain, and clasped her hands together in a heart shape. "Sweet Mist!!"
A heart-shaped halo of light instantly pierced through Bullet's body.
but.
"Get the hell out of my way!!"
Bullet flew over unaffected and slammed a heavy punch at Hancock.
"Wow, this guy?"
Violet couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement; this was the first time she'd ever seen a man who could completely ignore Hancock's abilities.
Does this guy have a problem with his sexual orientation?
But if Hancock's charm were fully unleashed, even women would be captivated!
Ian was equally astonished.
amazing.
There are very few people in the world who can resist Hancock's charm.
Bullet, that's something.
Hancock herself was slightly taken aback; she had never encountered anyone who could disregard her abilities.
In that slight moment of hesitation, when Bullet's iron fist came crashing down, she had no time to defend herself.
but.
"What are you distracted about! Extreme Ice Eight Trigrams!!"
The gleaming iron rod, crackling with white Inazuma, slammed heavily into Bullet's fist.
Amidst the Inazuma, Yamato was thrown backward at Yamato speed, flipping in mid-air before staggering to the ground. "Such strength! Such overwhelming Haki!"
Bullet lowered his head; his fist was now covered in a layer of crystalline substance.
What is that?
It pierced through his Haki and reached right into his fist!
"I don't need your help!"
Hancock was somewhat annoyed.
I was actually saved by that wretched white-haired guy!
"Who cares about you! I just want to fight!"
Yamato launched itself forward, heading straight for Bullet, unleashing "Divine Foot - White Snake Drive!!"
Hancock gritted her teeth, "Don't even think about stealing the spotlight!"
This man is indeed very strong, and she couldn't simply petrify him.
Well then, I guess I'll have to fight alongside this bastard with the white hair!
She too darted out, "Perfume Femur!!"
Bullet sent Yamato flying, Yamato and all, with a single punch, while raising his other hand to block Hancock's flying kick.
"Fine! Then I'll wipe you all out!!"
He roared.
Since these two annoying guys are asking for trouble, I'll grant their wish!
"Mouth-Tearing Ice Fang!!"
A laser-like breath struck Bullet squarely in the chest, instantly covering it with a thick layer of ice.
"Has it been imbued with Haki?"
Bullet leaped into the air Yamato hurtled down like a cannonball towards Yamato, who was breathing heavily.
"Great Perfume Femur!"
Before he could even land, Hancock appeared from the side and delivered another flying kick.
Bullet gritted his teeth and knocked Hancock down with another punch.
But at the same time.
"The Three Worlds Return - Naraku is Drawn!!"
The indestructible iron bar crashed down, knocking Bullet onto the beach as well.
Ian casually raised his hand, and the spreading domineering Haki dispersed the flying yellow sand.
The next moment, the yellow sand exploded again, and the three figures became entangled.
Bullet threw a punch at Yamato, only to be immediately met with a flying kick from behind by Hancock.
As he turned to deal with Hancock, Yamato's iron rod was already upon him.
"Ah?"
Zoro frowned, sensing something was off. "Yamato and Hancock, aren't they a little too in sync?"
As he said, Hancock and Yamato were in perfect harmony at this time.
When one person attacks, the other provides support; when one person is attacked, the other immediately provides backup. It's not perfect, but it's certainly incredibly smooth.
The end result was that Bullet, who was much stronger than either of them, was overwhelmed by their combined attack and had no way to use his strength.
It's fair to say they played exceptionally well.
but.
"This isn't right, is it?"
Luo was also taken aback, "Don't they fight all the time?"
Cooperation has never happened, but fighting is commonplace.
How come they're so in sync now?
"It's because they fight every day,"
Ian chuckled. "So nobody knows each other better than they do."
"Ah?"
Zoro was puzzled.
Ian glanced at him.
It's okay, you'll understand later.
"Ugh!!"
Bullet was hit by another roundhouse kick from Hancock and staggered back a few steps.
He stared intently at the two women in front of him; their strength far exceeded his expectations!
In their current state, defeating them is impossible.
"Then let me show you!"
Bullet leaped up and landed backward on the warship that had brought him there. "My true power!"
"Huh?"
Yamato was taken aback. "This guy hasn't gone all out yet?"
This is already a huge improvement over theirs!
Ian's lips curled slightly; Bullet was only just beginning to use his abilities.
He said, "Hey, Yamato, Hancock, use that move later."
"Ah?"
Yamato turned around, her face full of resistance, "I don't want to use it with this snake woman!"
"Me too!"
Hancock's tone was also stiff.
It was at this moment that Bullet's Combine-Combine Fruit power was activated.
A purple substance emanated from his body, instantly covering the entire warship.
In the blink of an eye, the warship had transformed, and a purplish-black giant stood on the beach amidst a deafening roar.
Standing over fifty meters tall, with enormous arms and short, thick legs, it looked down at Hancock and her companion.
"Oh!!"
Yamato's eyes lit up, "So handsome!!"
However, Bullet wouldn't stop because of her praise; his two enormous fists were already crushing down on Yamato and Hancock simultaneously.
"Great Perfume Femur!"
"Extreme Ice Eight Trigrams!"
The two leaped up simultaneously, attacking the two enormous fists at the same time.
But the next moment, the instant their attacks landed on that enormous fist, their expressions changed simultaneously.
Immediately afterwards, both men were shot down, crashing heavily onto the beach and kicking up clouds of yellow sand.
Yamato and Hancock simultaneously rolled over and stood up.
Both of them looked somewhat surprised.
"Even with the Haki distributed to this extent, the strength hasn't decreased at all?"
The way of Yamato is unbelievable.
The Haki emanating from that enormous fist was in no way weaker than that of Bullet himself!
Moreover, its strength is far greater!
Is it because of his abilities?
Hancock frowned.
Ian smiled.
Bullet's Combine-Combine Fruit is not some trash like Pica's Stone-Stone Fruit.
What he Polymerization with is truly one with him; if it is destroyed, he will suffer a backlash.
Since his body has grown larger, isn't it only natural that his Haki would also increase?
"That's why I said, Yamato, Hancock,"
Ian said casually, "Use that move, otherwise it'll be difficult to fight next."
Yamato and Hancock lack a certain Haki.
The two stunning beauties exchanged a glance.
"Go to hell!!"
The giant strode closer, its two enormous fists about to fall again.
There's really no way around it.
Yamato sighed, crouched slightly, and raised his spiked club. "Don't drag me down!"
"I was just following Ian's orders!"
Hancock's face and tone were equally stern, her right foot slightly back, radiating Haki.
At one point, their breathing suddenly synchronized.
"Oh!!"
Solemn exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be?!"
"What?"
Inside the giant's body, Bullet noticed something amiss. Under his Observation Haki, he sensed that the two women's auras were connected!
"Whatever! Whatever moves they use! Die, damn it!!"
He roared.
Once we take care of those two, we can start a war with Ian!
"Limit Cannon!!"
Both fists were pitch black, and they smashed down with the force to crush everything.
at the same time.
Yamato and Hancock suddenly stopped breathing.
The gleaming spiked club swung down.
A long, slender right leg kicks forward.
"Sea Dominance!"
