Bullet's Style and Fury!

The Kabane World.

After a bloody siege, the gates of Tamazukuri Station were wide open, and the walls and ground were covered with crimson bloodstains, but the obstructing corpses had long been cleared away.

One by one, Army soldiers dressed in black uniforms and carrying heavy assault rifles began to take over all the city's defenses under the orders of officers and generals draped in black Coat of Justice.

On the city walls and in the streets, these black-clad warriors, exuding a fierce and imposing aura, can be seen everywhere.

"Come out!"

"Come out!"

Teams of five drove the people out of each house. Under the threat of gun barrels, the men, women, and children dressed in various kimonos could only Earth Flow out tremblingly and then kneel on both sides of the street at the soldiers' command.

Looking around, people all over the city had begun to kneel on the ground, and the occasional sound of children crying could be heard.

However, the soldiers paid little attention to the children, adopting a cold attitude that suggested they should cry louder if they wanted to.

Douglas Bullet once told them that the key to conquest lies in a combination of kindness and severity, with severity coming first and kindness following.

Their Army is responsible for intimidation; they don't need the gratitude or respect of these people, just enough fear and dread.

How do we make them feel afraid, how do we make them feel terrified?

It's very simple.

A direct assault was launched to completely subdue them, eliminating all those who dared to take up arms in front of the entire populace, forcing them to kneel on the ground and deeply experience despair and powerlessness.

Only in this way will these people not cause trouble or create problems behind the scenes, and will they obediently follow orders!

Therefore, whether it was this Tamazukuri Station or the previous Sendai Station and Kurokawa Station, it was always the same: after capturing the castle, all the Samurai and soldiers were eliminated, and then all the people of the city had to kneel for five hours under the supervision of the Army soldiers.

This time is sufficient for subsequent administrative and technical personnel to arrive, take charge of management, and distribute various foods, which is the stage of bestowing favors.

Although this practice was extremely bloody and ruthless, and attracted much hatred from the local population, it did have a positive effect on maintaining order.

After all, without Samurai and officials, there would be no leader, and those who dared to rebel and those who were capable of rebelling were mostly in the defending army.

With all those soldiers dead, most of those who remained were people who only dared to curse in their hearts, but obediently followed orders in action.

[Da da da da da!]

Suddenly, the intense gunfire that had just subsided rang out again, startling those who had been moving slowly out of fear into a sudden burst of speed, causing them to fall to their knees with a thud, their foreheads pressed tightly to the ground.

On the left side of the city gate, in front of the city wall, lay hundreds of corpses lying in pools of blood or in the process of becoming corpses, while opposite them was a row of the Army soldiers putting away their guns.

It seems the gunshots just now came from them.

"Reporting, Vice Admiral!"

"The last batch of Samurai and soldiers of Tamazukuri Station- i have all been executed, and thirty-two officials of various ranks have been arrested!"

An Army Colonel appeared in a flash and loudly reported to the extremely large and burly man.

"Well, let's leave the officials here for now and hand them over to CIPHER POL later. Is the head steward here also among them?"

Bullet sat atop a large, heavily Heavy Motorcycle, lighting an equally large, thick cigar as he asked in a deep voice.

"The commander here was named Shiroyama Masakata. According to the interrogation, he was killed and imprisoned on the city wall the moment the battle began!"

"That's a really unlucky guy. What about our casualty count?"

After asking the question, Bullet held his cigar between two fingers, exhaled a puff of smoke, and squinted at the main street that stretched as far as the eye could see, leading straight into the depths of the city.

The densely packed crowd kneeling on both sides, coupled with the lingering stench of blood in the air, was, in his eyes, the most beautiful sight imaginable.

Isn't this conquest?

"One hundred and twenty-three were killed in action, sixty-one were seriously wounded, and three hundred and fifteen were slightly wounded. As before, all of them were hit by Steam Gun during the wall-climbing phase."

Clearly, while the results of conquest are enjoyable, the process of conquest is also accompanied by sacrifices.

Although the soldiers of the Army are physically stronger than the people of the Kabane World because they are Sea Star Person, they are not invulnerable to bullets and blades. They can still die if they are hit in a vital spot by a high-penetration Steam Gun.

But if it only hits a non-vital area, then it's nothing serious; eating some meat and resting for a few days will allow it to recover.

"That's about twenty fewer people than before, not bad!"

Bullet listened with satisfaction, completely unconcerned about the lives of the fallen soldiers. This was exactly the effect he wanted; if not a number of soldiers died, it would be unpleasant, and what kind of training would that be?

"To increase the difficulty of future sieges, we must make the defenders use artillery. A siege without artillery is a bit boring, don't you think?"

"Ah, yes!"

The Army Colonel was sweating profusely, but he could only nod in agreement. After all, artillery was useless to officers like them; a shell could easily cleave them in two with a single stroke.

"It's almost lunchtime, let's see what the environment of the General Manager's Office is like." Bullet put a cigar in his mouth, gently biting it with his teeth, and then started the motorcycle beneath him.

[Boom!]

[Poluporu, Polluporu]

Suddenly, just as the engine roared twice, the sound of a Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi) rang out from the pocket of his Coat of Justice, which made Bullet stop impatiently.

"Hello?!"

"This is Addison, Lieutenant Vice Admiral Bullet. You need to return to base as soon as possible," the Den Den Mushi said solemnly, sitting on its extremely broad palm.

"What is it?"

Hearing Bullet's somewhat sharp tone, Senior Director Addison could only smile helplessly and then said...

"The Five Elders are preparing to hold a government conference in a month, which will be attended by officials at the division level and above, as well as officers at the Admiral Vice Admiral Akainu like to meet with you and Vice Admiral Crocodile before then."

"Akainu... Isn't that the Navy's prospective Admiral?"

Bullet frowned; he had a feeling that what the other person was about to say would make him very angry, extremely angry.

Really.

"That's right. While you were away training troops, Admiral Akainu was transferred from the Navy to the Army and promoted from Admiral to Army General."

The Senior Director, Addison, failed to notice the awkward atmosphere and explained the situation in detail, which caused Bullet's breathing to become heavy and rapid.

The Army Colonel nearby watched in horror as the big shot's face turned extremely ugly, the anger in his eyes terrifying, like that of a demon.

This made him completely afraid to move or breathe deeply; his entire body was frozen in place.

"A naval Vice Admiral went to the Army and became Admiral?"

"Then why can't I, Vice Admiral in the Army, be promoted to Admiral?"

Bullet's facial muscles bulged as he glared at the Den Den Mushi. "I'd like to see what that red-haired dog is capable of being my superior."

"."

The Senior Director, Addison, was stunned. He hadn't expected Bullet to react so strongly, especially to openly insult Admiral Akainu.

"Ahem, anyway, that's how it is. You need to return to base within three days. Akainu Admiral come here to meet with you two on the third day."

[Slap]

After finishing his statement in one breath, Addison immediately hung up the Den Den Mushi communication; he had no desire to get involved in the conflicts between these military bigwigs.

Bullet stared at the Den Den Mushi with its eyes closed and grinned maliciously, "Hmph, it'll be there on time!"

"Go!"

"Kill all those officials! I want to hear the sound!"
