"This, this!" Morgans was speechless, staring blankly at the scene, not knowing what to say.

It was on the battlefield that Morgans felt it more acutely; the terrifying power made his muscles stiffen and he dared not even breathe.

Faced with such a massive size, any power is futile, especially considering Bullet's immense Armament Haki.

Such terrifying power is irresistible; no one can withstand it, not even Whitebeard, despite possessing the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

The entire world fell silent. Hott, located on Fist Island, was completely stunned. He hadn't expected Bullet to possess such terrifying power; he had underestimated Bullet.

It now seems that Bullet has a good chance of defeating Whitebeard. Although Whitebeard is powerful, Bullet is no less capable in terms of overall strength.

The image still shows that colossal beast, like a god of destruction about to destroy the world. Before it, even the fully transformed Kaido of the Beasts appears insignificant.

A terrifying punch, an invincible punch, its terrifying power affecting the entire island.

The navy on the edge of the island was severely damaged by this punch. Many marines were swept directly into the sea, and the sea was turbulent. The violent currents swallowed up these marines in an instant, and many never came back up.

The warships that had already arrived were also suffering, being tossed about upside down.

The foundation of the entire island was directly destroyed, the island was torn apart and began to gradually shift, seawater poured in, and the colossal beast had raised its arm, leaving a sinkhole with a diameter of hundreds of meters.

Seawater kept gushing out from below, faster than the seawater flowing in from around the island, meaning that Bullet's punch had directly pierced through the island.

As for Garp and Frieda, although they were not visible, they were undoubtedly submerged by the sea.

With that punch, Bullet released his Awakening power and also deactivated the "Large Bullet" form. The entire form had a skeleton, and if it wasn't deactivated, the behemoth would remain in that form on the island.

Of course, without his Armament Haki, the overall structure is actually quite fragile, but it is still harder than ordinary steel.

Of course, something can be destroyed in the hands of a powerful person, but Bullet had no intention of leaving his work for others to study.

Without Bullet's ability to sustain it, the entire behemoth collapsed with a roar, and Bullet emerged from within, arriving outside the area where the "behemoth" had collapsed.

Borsalino appeared in the area where the punch landed, looking down with some concern. Frieda and Garp were both down there!

However, this place has now turned into a lake, and as someone with abilities, he cannot go down there.

Not long after, a ripple appeared on the lake, and a dark shadow appeared beneath the surface, making Borsalino's eyes light up.

"Flutter!"

Two figures emerged from the lake; Garp emerged from beneath the surface, carrying Frieda had already lost his fighting ability.

He looked extremely disheveled, panting heavily. Frieda, who had been severely injured by the punch, looked like he had just come back to life. If Garp hadn't rescued him, he might have died in the sea.

This terrifying punch represented absolute power; even Garp couldn't withstand it and was quite taken aback.

Upon seeing them emerge, the Marine Headquarters, the World Government, and residents from around the world breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the devilish Bullet, it's better to let them get closer to the Marine Admiral and the Garp the Hero.

Bullet, who was in the distance, was preparing to leave. After seven days of fierce fighting, plus that punch just now, his stamina was running low. Although he could still hold on for a few more days, it would be pointless.

Upon reaching the shore, Bullet used his abilities to synthesize a submarine using the materials from the warships, and then leaped aboard.

"Bullet is leaving, huh? What's he going to do?" With Morgans's words, the scene suddenly shifted from Garp's side to Bullet's side.

Bullet stood inside the submarine, pulled out a switch-like button from somewhere, and gazed towards the island with a slightly sinister and eerie smile on his face.

Press your finger lightly on it.

Most people didn't realize it.

Boom!

The entire island suddenly exploded, with towering flames and a violent blast engulfing the entire island, covering everything.

At the moment of the explosion, Borsalino instantly transformed into light to dodge, while Garp covered his body with Armament Haki to defend himself.

Frieda reacted a little slower and was directly hit by the terrifying explosion, but for a monster like him, the damage was not significant, and he quickly used his Haki and abilities.

In contrast, the navy on the shore suffered greatly. Those still in the water fared better, but those on the shore were completely engulfed by the explosion.

Most of them were in poor condition, suffering heavy losses in a short time. Surrounded by endless explosions, apart from a few naval personnel, the rest simply could not survive.

His body was dismembered in the powerful explosion.

The explosion did not last long, but the damage it caused was enormous.

No one expected that Bullet had planted so many bombs under the island, covering the entire island; so many bombs could destroy a kingdom.

The already devastated island was completely destroyed in the explosion. Smoke filled the air, the land was scorched, and the area where the navy was located was littered with corpses.

Few are left alive.

The sea was littered with the severed limbs of our fellow sailors.

"That bastard!" Garp was furious.

The Marine Headquarters was equally furious. If they had lost, they would have accepted it, but now, with over ten thousand Navy personnel affected by the previous punch and this explosion, less than half of them were still alive.

They might even have to thank that terrible punch; if it hadn't sent so many sailors into the sea, their losses would have been far greater, perhaps even total annihilation.

However, the loss of seven or eight thousand naval personnel, plus the two thousand marines who died at the No. 3 naval food base earlier, has brought their total losses to ten thousand, in addition to the destruction of the No. 3 food base.

Such losses are enormous, the first time since the Navy began its period of recovery, and caused by Bullet alone.

Even as he was leaving, Bullet gave them this "surprise".

By this time, Bullet had already left, sinking into the sea in a submarine during the explosion.

Bullet won this battle. Although she did not truly defeat the Navy, to outsiders it appeared to be a victory for Bullet, and the Navy suffered huge losses.

Few understood the Navy's grief; they were all overwhelmed by Bullet's terrifying power. Bullet's strength was truly terrifying, possessing overwhelming power.

Everyone knows that the New World is about to change, if Bullet is planning to do anything next.

Bullet's steps won't stop; he'll definitely make more moves. Bullet wants to surpass Roger and become the World's Strongest. Defeating Garp alone isn't enough; he didn't kill Garp.

That punch was terrifying, but it could be dodged if you were fast enough.

Garp is just the beginning; Golden Lion, Whitebeard, and even the Dark Emperor could all be Bullet's targets.

Bullet truly possesses the power to defeat the Sea Emperor. He fought Marine Vice Admiral Garp for three days and three nights, and even withstood the combined attacks of Garp and two other Admiral for four days.

Even so, Bullet still had a lot of stamina left to unleash such a terrifying move.

The Bullet "Heir of the Devil" is far from sufficient to describe Barrett's power, terrifying strength, and disregard for life. Bullet is the true devil.

"Damn it! That Bullet guy!" Sengoku roared, "For the sake of the Navy's reputation, we must capture him!"

Bullet's actions thoroughly enraged Sengoku and his Sengoku. Most importantly, Bullet's strength was too great; the power he displayed was in no way inferior to Whitebeard's.

"Brubrub..."

Just then, a Den Den Mushi) rang, and the previously agitated naval conference room fell silent.

This Den Den Mushi is calling from the World Government.

"Issue the Buster Call! Bring the Heir of the Devil to justice at all costs. We can no longer allow such a dangerous element to roam the seas." The Gorosei' solemn voice rang out.

The willingness to pay any price demonstrates the World Government's resolve. Bullet's power, especially Bullet final Awakening power, is formidable; who knows if Bullet might one day come looking for trouble with the World Government?

Whitebeard had just revealed his hidden power, establishing his title as the World's Strongest, and now Bullet has shown terrifying strength that is no weaker than Whitebeard's, and even has the potential to surpass Whitebeard's.

People are never idle. A monster as unscrupulous as Bullet might cause trouble for Whitebeard Golden Lion after he's finished messing with them, and then he'll come to the Holy Land and wreak havoc.

In that case, it will inevitably deal a heavy blow to the World Government, and may even destroy the Holy Land.

Therefore, Bullet must be arrested before this happens, before any potential problems arise. The power Bullet has demonstrated poses a significant threat and needs to be eliminated as soon as possible.

"The World Government will also provide you with support: four CP0 members plus one CP0 vice chief!"

Not only did they feel threatened, but the Celestial Dragons, who stand at the pinnacle of world power, also felt threatened. With the advent of the video era, it's perfectly normal for the Celestial Dragons to watch videos whenever they have free time.

Bullet did indeed instill fear and dread in the Celestial Dragons, which is why they were willing to unleash their full power and send out four CP0 members who existed solely to protect them.

CP0, strictly speaking, exists to protect the Celestial Dragons, but there are distinctions: some are dedicated to protecting the Celestial Dragons, while others are needed to carry out missions outside the territory.

Gradually, CP0 split into two parts. On the surface, it was a single entity, but in reality, it was controlled by the Gorosei and the Celestial Dragons.

CP0 is currently weakened and has several people planted in Wano Country, so it cannot spare any more power. If it wants to take action, it will naturally need the Celestial Dragons to release some of their power.

In contrast, the four CP0 members only played a supporting and restraining role; the real task still required the participation of top-tier combatants.

"Yes, we are holding a meeting about this!" Sengoku said seriously. The World Government's willingness to send troops was very beneficial to them, after all, CP0 was a terrifying force.

"Then we'll leave it to you. Don't let us down."

The Den Den Mushi hung up, but the meeting continued.

Sengoku stood up, looked around the entire conference room, and said, "You all heard that."

The Buster Call was last carried out eight years ago, destroying Ohara.

They all knew that their opponent this time was Bullet, the "Heir of the Devil," and that a standard Buster Call would be far from enough to defeat him.

The fact that the World Government dispatched such a powerful force to provide support is enough to demonstrate this.

Everyone else was waiting for Sengoku to speak; Sengoku should already have a plan, which was the configuration for this Buster Call.

"Ten thousand elite naval soldiers were selected."

"With Garp and me leading the way, along with Kuzan and Sakazuki, plus eight Vice Admiral, Borsalino and Frieda will be stationed at Marine Headquarters. We absolutely cannot let Bullet escape, absolutely!"

The last two words were incredibly resolute, after all, Sengoku was planning to take action personally. Although it was customary for the Marshal to guard the headquarters and not leave under normal circumstances, this was a special situation.

To eliminate this enormous threat, Bullet must be defeated with overwhelming force, leaving Bullet no chance whatsoever.

Everyone knows the purpose of those 10,000 marines: to slow down Bullet and wear him down. Bullet 'Bullet monstrous stamina is even more terrifying and unfathomable than Kaido's, and it must be depleted.

This is not about defeating, but about capturing, and capturing is much more difficult than defeating.

Such a massive lineup caused even the Marine General present to take a deep breath.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku aims to defeat Bullet with overwhelming power in order to strengthen the prestige of the Navy and the World Government.

Even Bullet would have no chance against such a formidable lineup.

Logically speaking, Sengoku and Garp alone would be enough; there would be no need for two more Admiral, especially with the support of CP0 sent by the World Government.

While Bullet possesses terrifying strength, he is not at all worthy of the Navy and the World Government sending such a force.

It could even be said that this is making a mountain out of a molehill.

If you publicize it, people will look down on you.

They were somewhat puzzled, after all, even the strong have their pride, and it was really unreasonable for so many strong people to join forces against one person.

Tsuru saw through Sengoku's thoughts and stood up to explain, "It will be difficult to capture Bullet. His abilities cannot be limited by the sea. As a lone wolf, we only have one chance and cannot afford any mistakes."

"Otherwise, there might not be a next chance, and we will face Bullet's retaliation."

"At the same time, we must also avoid unexpected powerful individuals joining the battle." This kind of thing has happened many times before. Although Bullet is a lone wolf, his only connection is the Brotherhood. Although the Brotherhood is somewhat troublesome, it is not a major concern.

However, this does not mean that Bullet has not been in contact with other forces in secret. If a powerful individual were to join the battle, it could potentially ruin the Navy's operation.

Therefore, sufficient strength was necessary. Some of this strength was not only to minimize the time required to defeat Bullet, but also to prevent the emergence of potential external forces. Sengoku had to prepare for the worst.

After all, similar incidents had occurred many times in previous years, inflicting heavy losses on the navy.

There's only one chance, which is why Sengoku did this. Besides, the World Government has given a death order, and this is the Navy's first major operation in the past two years. If they fail, their reputation will definitely suffer.

Reputation is something that is constantly depleted. If the navy does not have outstanding achievements, the public will become more and more disappointed with the navy, and even Affiliated Nation will feel insecure. This will also affect the World Government, and the navy will inevitably be held accountable.

For the Sengoku period, this was an operation in which failure was absolutely not an option.

In recent years, the internal reforms of the Navy have been very successful and are getting better and better.

However, since he took office Marshal in the Sengoku, he has not achieved anything in foreign affairs. Instead, he has declined and even fallen to the bottom, suffering heavy losses, although he was implicated by the World Government.

However, as the Fleet Admiral, he also has an inescapable responsibility. The stability of the New World situation, the birth of the Fifth Emperor, the terrifying power of Bullet, and the increasingly frightening power of the pirates, all combined to a terrifying degree, would easily engulf even the Navy.

Pirates distrust each other, and if a Pirate King were to emerge who could unite their forces, even the World Government would find it difficult to survive under their power.

That is why the World Government was willing to sacrifice a large number of agents and even CP0 at a great cost to steal a Road Sign Stone from Wano Country, in order to prevent the emergence of Pirate King from the very beginning.

The navy especially needs a major victory to boost morale.

This explanation was understood by the other naval personnel present, who could even discern the implications behind it.

This meeting was a core meeting of the Navy, meaning that apart from a few recorders and intelligence officers below the rank of Vice Admiral, the rest were all Vice Admiral and above, the core members of the Navy.

People like Novoya were unable to participate in this meeting.

After all, the current decision cannot be exposed, and everyone present is someone who can be trusted.

"In that case, when do we begin? How do we initiate the Buster Call? Bullet isn't going to just stand there waiting for us, is he?"

This is a rather troublesome matter. If Bullet escapes beforehand, then the Buster Call will be meaningless.

"Don't worry, he's an incredibly arrogant person. He won't run away; on the contrary, he'll be thinking about crushing our strongest Buster Call ever!" Sengoku had some understanding of Bullet's ambition.

"Just like with Bullet, we'll declare war directly on an island in the New World. Bullet will definitely come; let's make a big show of it. Kuzan and Sakazuki need to hide first."

"The operation will take place in a month; we need some time to prepare."

The sharp-edged Bullet has become the focus of the world's attention. His terrifying strength has earned him the admiration of many pirates, and most importantly, he suppressed the Marine Garp the Hero in battle.

If the battle were to continue, without the intervention of the two Admiral, Garp might actually be defeated.

This is absolutely exciting news for pirates, because Garp not only has a huge prestige in the Navy, but also a notorious reputation among pirates, albeit a "bad reputation".

Garp can be considered a pillar of the Navy; if he were to truly fall, the impact on the Navy would be enormous.

"Looks like you've got another formidable opponent, Teach," Rediat said to Teach with a smile.

"Heh! Isn't it better if the opponent is stronger? However, Bullet's weaknesses are too obvious, and the World Government and the Navy will definitely take big action." Teach shook his head slightly.

Rediat naturally knew what Teach was talking about. In this vast ocean, possessing terrifying strength and posing a great threat, being alone would not end well.

Unless one keeps a very low profile, which is impossible for Bullet, human strength has its limits in the face of powerful forces. No matter how monstrous Bullet is, he is still human.

"I wonder how the Navy and the World Government are going to act? Should we have someone investigate?" Rediat asked.

"No need. It would be too much trouble to plant them, and it would only alert them. Besides, if the Navy wants to take action against Bullet, they have to come to the New World, which is impossible to hide. They will find out eventually." Teach chuckled.

"That guy Morgans has a nose like a dog; he'll definitely get the news out in no time."

"Then let's just observe quietly; this sea is becoming more and more interesting."
