With Thunder, Uphold Justice, Shatter the Darkness!!!

At this moment, Bullet seemed to understand why Ortolan had previously called himself a 'frog in a well'.

This Marine Admiral is definitely not at the same level as Vice Admiral Wolf from G-5, is he?

Bullet was quite surprised that his super alloy defense, which could completely defend against Rayleigh's slashes, was broken by him in such a simple and brutal way.

Is he stronger than Rayleigh?

That was Bullet's first thought, but then Bullet realized, damn it, Rayleigh went easy on him back then!

This old man misled me!

It was precisely because Rayleigh held back that Bullet made a wrong judgment about his own strength. In addition, he did not actually fight against the real top masters such as Shiki, Red Count, and Whitebeard after that.

At most, he would fight against people like Crocodile, to the point that Bullet didn't even have a direct understanding of the gap in strength between himself and top-tier powerhouses!

It was only when he met Ortolan that he realized how foolish he had been!

However, as a veteran who had fought his way through the battlefield, Bullet adjusted his mindset quickly and did not let these issues cause him to lose his composure.

He quickly adjusted his state and slowly stood up from the ruins of the reef.

At this moment, he realized that there was an insurmountable gap between his physical abilities and those of Ortolan, and he no longer intended to win this victory through fighting techniques or other means.

He's an ability user!

"The battle has only just begun, don't get too cocky, you bastard..." Bullet said, his eyes dark as he looked at Ortolan.

As his words fell, a strange energy fluctuation spread out from beneath his feet. Then, the entire island seemed to come alive, beginning to tremble, distort, and change.

Ortolan naturally noticed these things as well. He turned to look at the port town at the other end of the beach, where the buildings were already collapsing at an extremely fast speed due to Bullet's energy. Then, the ruins formed a torrent that swept towards Bullet.

Judging from the observation using Observation Haki, it wasn't just the port town; the entire island was undergoing similar changes, with buildings collapsing, mountains crumbling, and large amounts of underground hot springs gushing out haphazardly.

The entire Frania Island seemed to have become Bullet's playground!

The converging torrent quickly submerged Bullet, which was hundreds of meters away. Various debris in the ruins were constantly reassembled at a dazzling speed, forming a substance that Ortolan could not understand at all.

However, Ortolan did not intend to stop Bullet. Instead, he calmly took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and instead of lighting it himself, he took out a delicate flint lighter and lit the cigarette.

He flicked the lighter to extinguish the flame and put it back in his pocket. Come to think of it, Gion had given him this thing when he left headquarters this time.

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Ortolan smacked his lips and said, "Is it time to start showing off your combined human abilities? Good luck, I'm looking forward to it."

As far as I can remember, Bullet can combine itself with the island's inhabitants to create a super behemoth form similar to Godzilla.

That form was indeed very powerful; a single blow could shatter and shake an island. In addition, Bullet's mastery of Haki was also quite strong. He could even let his Armament Haki cover that massive body. The combination of the two was indeed incredibly powerful.

Ortolan was indeed very interested in its form, wanting to see just how big this behemoth really was!

Meanwhile, not too far from Frania Island, the Moby Dick, also arrived at this location at some point.

On the deck, Newgate held a flask, drinking as he watched the island change shape on the horizon.

"On Roger's ship, all that comes out are monsters..." Newgate raised an eyebrow and commented.

But judging from his nonchalant demeanor, it was clear that Bullet's transformation was nothing more than a "show" to Newgate. To the Strongest Man like him, even an island-sized behemoth was nothing more than something that could be shattered with a single punch.

If all else fails, two or three punches will always be enough to smash it!

"Dad, the one who should truly be called a monster is that Marines named Bane, right?" Marco said, holding his binoculars.

They could be said to have watched the entire battle between Ortolan and Bullet. At first, Marco thought it would be a close contest, but as he watched from beginning to end, he found that the Marines named Bane Ortolan almost completely overwhelmed Bullet!

Whether from the rhythm of the battle or his posture, he never took Bullet seriously from beginning to end, and instead seemed to treat Bullet as a toy.

When Bullet was mentioned, Newgate called him a monster, but his eyes were full of disdain. However, when Marco mentioned Ortolan, Newgate paused in his drinking, and a serious look appeared in his eyes. "That's right, that guy... is indeed a troublesome fellow."

He had never fought against Ortolan, nor had the two even met. However, as a top-tier expert, Newgate possessed keen insight. Even after merely observing Ortolan's battle with Bullet and weighing the situation in his mind, he could sense that Ortolan was a formidable opponent.

Possessing exceptional physical abilities and the Goro Goro no Mi, Newgate pondered for a long time before realizing a serious problem.

That's this guy named Bane Ortolan. He's incredibly strong and also very well-rounded, with absolutely no obvious weaknesses—at least, I haven't found any!

This means that this guy is definitely tough to deal with!

At present, Ortolan may not have truly reached the pinnacle of the world, but if a well-rounded, all-around warrior like him were to fully develop, he would probably be a significant threat to Whitebeard!

Meanwhile, on the island, the giant monster that Bullet had transformed into was gradually reaching its peak.

At this moment, the center of gravity of this giant creature has shifted from the beach at the edge of the island to the central area of the island, occupying the mountain range that originally had abundant hot spring water.

However, he was now taller than the mountain range and even larger Marineford Fortress of Justice!

In terms of sheer size and intimidation, this guy is currently the most intimidating enemy that Ortolan has ever seen.

Even just by swinging his arms from side to side, he could make the entire island tremble slightly, as if it were about to succumb to the immense pressure of the behemoth.

Still on the beach, Ortolan, with a cigarette between his teeth, exhaled the last puff of smoke, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out.

"The time it takes to smoke a cigarette isn't too slow..." A smile appeared on Ortolan's lips.

At the same time, the giant beast that Bullet had transformed into looked at Ortolan with its scarlet eyes. Ortolan was not quite sure whether Bullet's current beast form meant that his body had completely merged with the monster, or whether he had simply forcibly gathered this huge beast body while he himself was controlling it from inside the monster as a 'mech pilot'.

"But none of that matters. The reason I gave you time and allowed you to show this side of yourself is because I want to see for myself whether my Bull of Heaven Sky is as powerful as I imagine..." Ortolan said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a bolt of lightning, soaring over a hundred meters into the sky. Then, his eyes emitted intense lightning, and his entire body continuously emitted a large amount of lightning energy.

At this moment, Ortolan seemed to transform into the god of thunder, and he was about to change the island, and even the weather and celestial phenomena of this sea area!

An endless stream of lightning power erupted from his body, transforming into pillars of light that poured into the boundless sky. As this energy invaded, the originally pure white clouds began to change.

In just a few breaths, the clouds rapidly spread out, covering the entire island. At the same time, they were also shrouded in dark shadows, and lightning Inazuma like silver snakes from time to time through the dense, dark clouds.

Although it was daytime, the island, shrouded in dark clouds, seemed as if it had entered night!

At this moment, the colossal beast on the island and the thunderstorm in the sky seemed to represent the entire universe.

The giant beast seemed to sense the unease and roared angrily at Ortolan in the air, while the cloak with the word 'Justice' written on it fluttered in the wind behind Ortolan.

"I will unleash the power of thunder to uphold justice, shatter the darkness, and feel the fury from the clouds..." A defiant smile played on Ortolan's lips as his gaze locked onto the colossal beast. After a moment's pause, he roared, "Bull of Heaven!!!"

As Ortolan's voice fell, a deep, thunderous roar like that of a bull echoed in the sky. Instantly, lightning flashed, and everyone in this sea area who looked up at the sky seemed to be able to see a bull formed of lightning, the size of an island, roaring from the gloomy clouds!

"Kurararara..." On the Moby Dick, Newgate burst into laughter at the sight. "What an amazing fellow!"
