The Power of Ballistic Missiles!

Giant World, Canberra Continent (Australia)

The main road leading to the base where the 'Teigu' world Star Gate is located has been paved with a solid and smooth layer of cement.

On both sides of the road stood Army main combat soldiers, each with a strong build and a fierce aura, carrying long swords with black sheaths on their backs, with their own heavy military motorcycles behind them.

They stood tall with their heads held high, looking straight ahead.

When Douglas Bullet, who was 510 centimeters tall and wearing a black Coat of Justice, led a dozen officers, all over two meters tall and also wearing black Coat of Justice, past them.

Every soldier Zero admiration and awe.

Because he was not only the commander of the 1st Division of their 1st Main Battle Legion, but also the Army Headquarters's Admiral candidate, 'Demon Shark'!

It's still this time.

A front-line commander in the conquest operation against the other world numbered No. 0004 and codenamed 'Teigu'!

"The division commander, Vice Admiral Oven Charlotte, and Vice Admiral 'Onigumo 1st Brigade and 2nd Brigade, along with the Auxiliary Corps's four hundred main battle tanks and two hundred heavy howitzers, have all entered the 'Teigu World' through the Shrinking Tunnel."

A Rear Admiral general staff officer from the Army Command was following Bullet two steps behind, reporting to him sentence by sentence.

Bullet strode forward, not turning his head, and said in a deep voice, "The number of Auxiliary Corps is still not enough. Pass down the order: send another four hundred tanks and fifty thousand auxiliary troops within a month!"

"Yes!"

"Vice Admiral Oven and Vice Admiral Onigumo have successively captured the Volga City, Angulo City, and Montero City!"

The Rear Admiral staff officer responded quickly, and then reported on the matter.

"Lieutenant Vice Admiral Oven has sent a request for instructions, asking whether to continue the attack on Seka Fortress, while Vice Admiral Onigumo has encountered Imperial front-line Army troops and has also sent a request for instructions, asking whether permission should be granted to launch the first attack?"

But this time, Bullet frowned and ordered, "Have them suspend the siege and fighting, while maintaining a steady pace and concealing their position as much as possible."

"Yes!"

Just as the two were talking, they arrived at the 'Teigu World' Star Gate Base. At this moment, Bullet noticed a figure wearing Army Coat of Justice walking alone towards the base gate.

"Go over there and ask which unit that person belongs to, then bring him here."

"Yes!"

This time, the person who answered was not the staff officer, but a Commodore behind Bullet. With a whoosh, he vanished from the spot.

The others continued walking.

Soon, the Commodore intercepted the figure wearing a black top hat, said a few words, and brought him to Bullet.

Bullet, expressionless, looked down at the other person and asked, "Which unit are you from? Why did you go to 'Star Gate Four' alone?"

At the same time, he felt a sense of unease, but it wasn't very obvious.

"Reporting, sir, I am Colonel Diara of the 1st Brigade, 3rd Regiment, 1st Brigade. I have been ordered by the regimental commander to purchase local cigarettes!"

Bullet saw the other person take out a Water 7 brand 'Water Water Cigarettes' box from his coat pocket.

Although he preferred cigars and didn't buy these slender, delicate cigarettes, he knew that some of his officers liked them, which still made him frown.

"Heh, Commander, oh, so that's Rear Admiral General. What a big rank! I'll go with you to deliver it to him later!"

The other party seemed frightened, trembling and not replying immediately. Bullet was too lazy to show his power to a mere colonel who obeyed orders, so he waved for the other party to follow behind him.

Upon seeing this, the latter quickly lowered his head and walked to the very end of the line, looking pitiful. This made the other officers both amused and exasperated. They then continued to follow Bullet toward the Star Gate Base.

Meanwhile, Melard, who had maintained his disguise, breathed a sigh of relief. Bullet's aura was simply too terrifying, even more powerful and dangerous than that of a Super Danger Beasts.

I was also glad that I had anticipated the possibility of being questioned, so I bought this pack of cigarettes, which the shop owner said was the best-selling brand, from a store that sold Sea Star Homeworld products to the Army officers and soldiers here.

This gives me a reason to explain myself.

The rest of the process went very smoothly because they were following Bullet. All the black-clad soldiers along the way saluted and watched them enter the Shrinking Tunnel.

Soon.

After being exposed to several rounds of disinfectant fumes, Melard once again breathed in the cold air of the Northern Snow Region, which made the corners of her mouth turn up slightly.

Then, he deliberately slowed his pace, quietly widening the distance between himself and the officers ahead.

A moment later.

Bullet led his men to Rear Admiral Nixa, commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Brigade, and then sternly questioned him about having his colonel buy cigarettes for him.

However, he heard from the other party that two days ago, a colonel named Diara from the Third Regiment lost his uniform, overcoat, and officer's ID card, and that a drug that could induce a deep sleep was found in his body.

Therefore, they have reported the situation and are awaiting the results of CIPHER POL's investigation.

This caused more than a dozen officers, including Bullet, to turn around and look behind them, only to find that Colonel Diara, whom they had intercepted earlier, had vanished without a trace.

"How is that possible?!"

This situation truly shocked everyone present. Bullet was so angry that he laughed and immediately used his full Observation Haki, but the result was even more shocking, because he sensed nothing at all.

"By the way, that awkward feeling was because he had no aura, but I subconsciously didn't take it seriously."

Bullet was annoyed.

They all relied too much on Observation Haki and never considered that a person could exist without any aura.

This is a natural blind spot in thinking.

Furthermore, they left without making a sound, minimizing their presence to the extreme, which is quite impressive. Even members of CIPHER POL probably couldn't do that.

More than an hour later.

After a thorough search by a large number of soldiers, they finally found the discarded military uniforms and overcoats in a hidden corner, which were covered with yellow powder to eliminate odor.

After testing and analysis by biochemical researchers stationed at the base, it was discovered that this appeared to be scales from some unknown insect.

Bullet was furious about this incident, but he couldn't bring himself to punish anyone, since the person had slipped away right under his nose. Who could he possibly punish?

They could only bear it for the time being and then have someone report these situations to the Army Headquarters on the Sea Star Homeworld, which was on Admiral Akainu's desk.

Because Sakazuki was the commander of the 1st Main Battle Legion.

During this time, the Star Gate Base in the Snow Valley of the 'Teigu World' suddenly sounded a sharp, wailing alarm.

Bullet had already activated the Paramecia Clank-Clank Fruit power, merging with a nearby snow-capped mountain and transforming into a snow-white Titans thousands of meters tall.

He looked up at a cone-shaped green warhead high in the sky, hurtling towards him at more than twenty times the speed of sound, leaving a long trail of flame.

"Ubuyashiki's prophecy was right after all. If I hadn't come, the base below would have been severely damaged. Fortunately, we specifically left Kyojuro Rengoku at the base."

"Then let me see just how powerful this so-called 'ballistic missile' really is!"

Tomorrow is the 1st, and as usual, I'll be taking a day off. No updates tomorrow!
