Seventy Percent of My Punching Power!
"Oh?"
The moment Barrett was met with Brand's murderous gaze, Bullet sensed it, his cold eyes glancing at the rapidly approaching white figure.
"Interesting. Why come here instead of looking for Onigumo?"
Bullet was initially surprised, then he grinned widely, revealing a terrifying smile, and a cruel glint gradually appeared in his eyes.
"In that case, I shall prepare an arena befitting your status as Army General."
[Bang!]
Bullet stomped his right foot forward with force, and as the ground cracked, a tsunami-like aura erupted from his two-story-tall body.
[Boom------]
The violent and ruthless surging momentum stirred up the surrounding air, turning it into Tornado storm that swept wildly in all directions, causing the entire world to be tinged with a faint, dark blue light.
This moment.
The earth trembled, and the warriors fighting nearby were instantly blasted into the air by the powerful force of the energy.
Even if the distance is a little far.
The soldiers of the Empire, the Flame Rabbit, the Giant Crab, and even the fire Fire Dragon and giant eagles caught in the blast all instantly had their Byakugan rolled back and fell unconscious one after another.
Not only that.
Even the grenades that flew in with a piercing whistle, Setsuna encountering the blue light, seemed to hit a solid air wall and exploded one after another in mid-air.
In the blink of an eye, it all revolved around Douglas Bullet.
Within a kilometer radius, there were only representatives of the World Government and a few powerful Imperial generals. The orc warriors remained standing there, covered in cold sweat.
They were surrounded by the bodies of their former adversaries, who had been fighting them.
In less than a minute, nearly 100,000 Imperial troops and Danger Beasts lost their fighting ability, and a section of the battlefield was completely cleared.
This even caused those fighting further away to subconsciously slow down.
This moment.
Everyone on both sides was deeply shocked by Bullet's display of Conqueror's Haki, especially since he was able to distinguish friend from foe by his aura!
This seemingly insignificant detail is actually the best demonstration of Bullet's Conqueror's Haki.
Pity.
No one present noticed this, because even Onigumo didn't Conqueror's Haki.
"Whoosh--whoosh--whoosh--"
Brand, inside the 'Incursio' armor, was filled with astonishment.
He was panting heavily, struggling to maintain his fighting stance while gripping the spear in his hand, despite the dizziness he was experiencing.
"What kind of ability is this?"
"It felt like a hammer blow through my armor to my head! Ah, could this be the Conqueror's Haki mentioned in the intelligence reports?!"
Brand had a feeling that he was probably right.
He now has no doubt that if it weren't for the ' Incursio and the Armament Haki protecting him, he would probably be kneeling on the ground by now, even if he hadn't passed out.
Then let's not talk about any further battles!
"Oh, you can still stand? Not bad, not bad at all. You're quite something, an Army General."
Bullet took a few steps forward with interest, looking Brand up and down at his white armor, and chuckled, "Or are you actually relying entirely on this armor? It must be Teigu, right?"
"I can give you a little time to introduce yourself and your equipment; consider it my last words."
Brand, however, showed no appreciation whatsoever, responding with a cold laugh through his helmet.
"Thank you very much, but I'm not foolish enough to reveal my information to my opponent. However, I can ask you to tell me your name and identity!"
"Intelligence?"
Hahahaha.
Bullet burst into laughter upon hearing this, as if he had been struck by a joke. Despite this, Brand on the other side did not dare to launch the first attack.
I'm still feeling lingering fear from that Conqueror's Haki I just witnessed.
Sudden.
Bullet stopped laughing and said with a look of disdain, "What kind of bullshit intelligence is Brand? You, Admiral of the Imperial Army Headquarters."
"The armor you're wearing should be a Teigu Armor called 'Incursio.' Its basic abilities, besides the armor's defensive function, include automatic donning, enhanced physical abilities, invisibility, concealment of presence, and the long spear called 'Red-backed Shrike.'"
"Its secret technique is continuous evolution, adapting to all kinds of environments. Is there anything wrong with what Lao Tzu said?"
Brand's expression grew increasingly shocked as Bullet spoke, gradually turning ashen, because he realized that even he himself didn't know the secret technique Barrett mentioned at the end!
It's a little embarrassing to talk about this.
He has used the "Incursio" technique for so long, always regarding the ability to become invisible and conceal one's aura as its ultimate secret technique.
But Bullet's words clearly indicate that he doesn't even know the secret techniques of his own Teigu.
"How could this be? The 'Incursio' clearly acknowledged me, so why haven't I mastered all of its power?"
Brand's feelings were incredibly heavy and complicated.
Hey, you're daydreaming!
Just as his thoughts drifted away for a second, Bullet, disregarding any semblance of martial virtue, instantly appeared in front of Brand and swung his arm, as thick as a normal person's waist, at him.
"Not good!"
Although Brand managed to use his 'Red-backed Shrike' to block the cannonball-sized fist at the last second, relying on his instincts from years of fighting, he was still alive.
But an incredibly powerful and unimaginable force surged from the gun shaft, like Formless tsunami, throughout his entire body.
[Boom!!]
As a ring of swirling white mist suddenly exploded, Brand, clad in armor, was sent flying backward like a bolt of lightning, triggering several deafening Sound Explosion along the way.
Brand had tried to stop himself, but in the process, he felt as if the surrounding air had solidified into Formless mountain under the immense pressure, making it impossible for him to move.
[Bang------]
He flew for an unknown distance, but he finally landed on the ground. However, the moment his back touched the ground, an even more intense force and a thunderous roar were generated.
Visible Tornado wind spread out in layers, turning the originally hard ground into waves of earth that appeared incredibly soft.
It wasn't until a crater over a hundred meters in diameter appeared on the battlefield that Brand was seen lying there in a very disheveled state.
Looking further out of the pit.
A deep, broken trench, four or five hundred meters long, was carved out between Bullet and the crater—that was the path Brand had just taken as he moved through the air!
"Ugh----"
Brand clutched his abdomen, which was riddled with cracks but was slowly healing itself, and let out an uncontrollable scream of pain. He was experiencing pain he had never imagined before.
As for the 'Red-backed Shrike' that he was clutching tightly in his hand, it had already broken into two pieces.
"To withstand 70% of my punch and still survive screaming in agony, it seems the Teigu from your world is indeed of excellent quality."
Bullet appeared at the edge of the crater at some point, looking down at Brand with a calm gaze while asking questions in a cold tone.
"But could you tell me first why you can use Armament Haki?"
Then his gaze suddenly drifted to the distance, to Leone, who was dressed like a 'cat-eared girl'.
"And that woman!"
