504 Buster Call vs. Bullet
In the New World, ten of the navy's largest, most robust, and top-tier war behemoths sail the seas.
Towards the center of the New World lies an island called Bluen Island, a relatively barren island whose inhabitants migrated after the news spread.
A terrible war is about to break out on this island, and the islanders, naturally, do not want to be caught in the crossfire.
That's right, Bluen Island was the battlefield between the Navy and Bullet.
A week after Bullet's battle with Whitebeard, news of the Navy's Buster Call against Bullet quickly spread throughout the world.
The Buster Call, the last one, destroyed Ohara, the home of scholars.
It is a powerful weapon to defend the authority of World Government.
Half a month after the announcement, a Buster Call fleet consisting of 10,000 elite marines, led by Garp and Sengoku, along with eight Marine Vice Admiral, arrived. This powerful force represented the Navy's determination to capture Bullet.
At the same time, we must also avenge the losses of the previous battle.
Beneath the surface of the sea, however, lies a naval warship, navigating the oceans through a protective coating, unknown to anyone.
Sakazuki and Kuzan, along with the World Government's forces, CP0 Vice Chief "Earth" Gaia, plus four powerful CP0 members.
Their hidden combat power alone is comparable to that on the surface of the sea.
On the other hand, just as Sengoku had guessed, Bullet was arrogant, and despite knowing the Navy's power, he would not back down in the face of the Buster Call.
If he were to back down just like that, what would be the point of surpassing Roger and becoming the World's Strongest?
Roger was his role model because, in his eyes, Roger was the World's Strongest.
Moreover, Bullet is very confident in his strength. The previous two battles have undoubtedly proven that Bullet is already stronger than Garp. Even if Sengoku were added, he would only be comparable to those two Admiral, or perhaps even slightly weaker.
Those ten thousand elite naval troops were not just a bunch of small fry in his eyes.
Even with hidden strength, Bullet believed he could still put up a fight, though victory was out of the question.
However, he can escape completely; with the power of the Fusion-Fusion Fruit, he can go to the sky, go underground, and go into the Bullet can do all of these.
Their purpose in coming here was simply to fight to their heart's content.
The proud Bullet will not run away; when it comes to running away, there's only zero times or countless times.
However, he had no idea just how shameless the World Government and the Navy were, what kind of plan they had adopted against him, and how powerful their combat capabilities were.
And the world's attention is once again focused on this: the battle between the Dark Emperor and Whitebeard, the Dark Emperor's ascension to the throne, the battle between Bullet and the Navy, and the battle between Bullet and Whitebeard.
Bullet is once again confronting the Navy. Unlike before, when Bullet declared war on the Navy, this time the Navy is declaring war on Bullet, and has dispatched two legendary veterans, Garp and Sengoku, leading the Buster Call army.
The Buster Call: Destroy everything.
Everyone knows that the naval forces deployed are not as simple as they appear on the surface.
Bullet's defeat was certain; no one believed that the World Government and the Navy would fight a battle they couldn't win.
There are only two possible outcomes: either Bullet is arrested by the Navy, or he escapes from the Navy Bullet a major battle.
Even if Bullet is strong, he is still just one person without the support of any other power. In fact, he is easier to provoke than those weaker, dominant powers.
Bullet, absolutely confident in his ability to accept this declaration of war, is already waiting on this island.
Perhaps to prevent Bullet from planting bombs under the island as he had done before, the final battlefield was only announced five days before the battle.
After all, the Buster Call involves 10,000 marines. Without the power of Haki to defend against it, even a superhuman physique would be unable to withstand a sudden bomb attack.
It will definitely suffer heavy losses like the previous battle.
"Bullet!" Upon seeing Bullet, Garp roared, his body flashing past like a cannonball, so fast that it was almost imperceptible. He would appear every hundred meters, as if he were teleporting.
Garp had already honed his Marine Six Styles to perfection. The combination of Geppo and Ladder meant that even in aerial combat, Garp's strength would be second to none.
Recalling the losses of the previous battle, Garp felt angry and couldn't remain calm.
"Garp! It'll all come to the same result again. So what if we add Sengoku to the mix? Let's have a good fight!" Bullet said excitedly, watching Garp approach. He was never tired of fighting Garp.
Garp is in no way inferior to him in terms of combat strength; the only difference between them is physical strength.
Facing Garp, Bullet showed no arrogance, his arms covered in powerful Armament Haki as he charged forward.
Boom!
The earth and air trembled instantly, and with Garp's intervention, a new war officially began.
The fierce battle was dazzling.
Even the second battle was still terrifying.
Marshal Sengoku, clad in the Justice Coat, is making his first trip to the New World since becoming Marshal —or more accurately, his first mission outside of the Marine Headquarters and the Holy Land.
In order to deal with Bullet, Sengoku broke the convention that the Marshal was stationed at the Marine Headquarters and could not leave.
History often repeats itself; the last Fleet Admiral's only foreign operation was against the powerful and fearsome "The Lone Red" Redfield.
Behind him, eight Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral and ten thousand elite soldiers were already ready.
"Ready? The Vice Admiral and I will go first to wear down Bullet's stamina."
Bullet suffered no losses, and Sengoku dared not send his own marines to their deaths.
Once Bullet uses his Awakening power, these marines won't even be able to run away.
"It's been a long time since I've fought, so let me stretch my muscles a bit. Bullet, I won't let you get away with this." Sengoku said seriously, watching Bullet fight Garp.
Sengoku knew Bullet's past very well. Bullet was originally a hero, but he suffered betrayal from his superiors and teammates. As a result, he directly destroyed that kingdom, causing a shocking national annihilation tragedy that reverberated throughout the world.
Bullet was only fifteen years old at the time.
It is precisely because of this that Bullet began to distrust his comrades and only believe in his own strength.
Without this experience, Bullet would have become a hero. Given his pursuit of power, he might even have joined the Navy, since the identity of a hero is more inclined towards the Navy.
Sengoku would not sympathize with Bullet; their stances were completely different. At most, he would only feel regret.
He twisted his neck, took off his justice cape and tossed it aside, revealing a white suit he was wearing.
With a flash, he quickly approached the battlefield and leaped high into the air.
Suddenly, Sengoku's body emitted golden light, and his body grew larger than a giant.
The palm faces downwards, containing terrifying power.
"The Great Buddha Impact!"
A terrifying power erupted in an instant, Garp, who had already sensed it, dodged it immediately, while Bullet, who was restrained by Garp, was a step slower.
Looking at the golden hand descending from the sky, he instead revealed a slightly ferocious smile.
"Let me taste your power, Sengoku!" His body instantly transformed into Devil Form, with deep blue skin, his Haki merging with demonic energy and becoming one with his body.
The terrifying power brought by its enormous size, combined with the impact of the Great Buddha Fruit.
The power it unleashed was even more terrifying than Bullet's; as a Mythical Zoan Fruit user, its strength was naturally formidable.
Boom!
With a single palm strike, a huge crater appeared in the ground. Bullet stood up from the crater, still in his "Devil Form." The power of that palm strike was terrifying. Judging from the blood at the corner of Bullet's mouth, Bullet had suffered a minor injury.
But it was only a minor injury. You have to understand, that was Sengoku's all-out attack. Sengoku would never hold back against Bullet.
Standing in the center of the pit, looking at Garp and Sengoku ahead, Bullet was surrounded by eight vice Vice Admiral, and ten thousand elite naval troops were surrounding him from all sides.
It seems that Bullet has already ventured deep into the lion's den.
Bullet, on the other hand, was even more excited, his blood boiling. It seemed that his only purpose in life was endless battle.
This is the kind of battlefield he wants.
"All of you, come at me together!" Bullet shouted excitedly, and rushed towards Sengoku and Garp.
Bullet, seemingly oblivious to the crisis he faces, comes across as a madman.
The alliance between Garp and Sengoku, the two strongest members of the Marine Headquarters, is something most people can hardly imagine.
The two exchanged a knowing glance and then charged at Bullet from the left and right.
Eight Marine Vice Admiral charged forward together. Only by facing it firsthand could they know how powerful Bullet's aura was. They also knew their mission: to assist Sengoku and Garp, the two main combatants. Their role was essentially to provide support.
"The battle has begun, let's go!" Sakazuki said.
"So fast?" Kuzan frowned. "Aren't we going to let Mr. Garp and the others fight for a while first?"
"What's the point of waiting? We are the main fighting force, and those naval elites and Vice Admiral are valuable assets. If we can resolve the battle in the shortest time, we can minimize our losses." Sakazuki did not want the navy to suffer heavy losses.
Simply trying to wear down Bullet's stamina is too simplistic. Although their plan is good, Bullet won't follow it and try to wear them down with his own strength. Once he Awakening his ability, he could easily kill even three times as many people, let alone ten thousand.
Kuzan understood Sakazuki's reasoning, thought for a moment, and nodded. "Alright, let's make our move."
After speaking, he turned to look at the five people in suits and masks on the other side, especially the powerful Gaia. Gaia's power had left a very deep impression on him during the Golden Sea Battle.
Noticing Kuzan's gaze, Gaia nodded slightly, agreeing with their decision. "Our order is to arrest Bullet; everything else is none of our business."
The subtext is that they don't care about the lives of those naval personnel at all; of course, it also means that as long as it doesn't affect the ultimate goal, everything else is secondary.
"With me here, Bullet can't escape, but I can't join the battle," said one of the CP0 members next to Gaia.
The three were locked in a fierce battle, which even the eight Vice Admiral could hardly intervene in. Bullet could inflict considerable damage on them with just one punch, but in terms of strength, there was a huge gap between them.
Bullet faces an attack from both Garp and Sengoku, whose amazing teamwork makes their combined effect far greater than the sum of its parts.
But Bullet was not afraid at all. The golden giant hand kept hitting Bullet, who had to dodge while also guarding against Garp's iron fist.
His clenched fist contained terrifying power; each punch infused Bullet with Haki, constantly causing Bullet pain.
Seemingly following orders, the surrounding navy began to disperse and move away.
The earth suddenly trembled violently and rose rapidly, revealing a figure standing on the raised ground, looking down at Bullet and his men who were engaged in battle.
Gaia appeared, and many people recognized him as a member of CP0.
Unexpectedly, their trump card was revealed as soon as the battle began, and the World Government also sent people over.
But it wasn't over yet. Two more figures appeared, standing on either side: Admiral "Akainu" Sakazuki and "Aokiji" Kuzan.
Three more CP0 officers, dressed in suits and wearing masks, appeared, along with eight Marine Vice Admiral, and surrounded Bullet.
Another CP0 member didn't approach; instead, they watched from a distance, seemingly serving some special purpose.
The emergence of such combat power caused many to frown, as the World Government and Navy had actually dispatched such a formidable force against Bullet.
"That's an ugly way of eating!"
Such combat power is completely beyond the norm, and even somewhat unreasonable.
It's like the Navy sending out ten Vice Admiral to capture a pirate Supernovas.
This approach, though not specifically targeted at them, is infuriating.
What if pirates did the same to the Navy? Keep in mind that pirates outnumber the Navy, and their overall strength far surpasses that of the Navy.
"Have you no shame?"
It is indeed annoying, but the Navy is targeting Bullet, who has no faction ties, is alone, has terrifying strength, and poses a Bullet to all forces.
Even if the Navy does this, no one will come to Bullet's aid; the Navy probably saw that.
"It seems the Navy and the World Government are truly desperate, resorting to such methods."
Although this approach is abhorrent, the Navy has undoubtedly grasped the New World pirates' desires towards Bullet. Because they are going with the flow, no one will help Bullet.
The strong don't have this thought, while the weak have the will but lack the power.
Seeing this scene, Bullet almost laughed in anger. He knew that his current situation was extremely critical, and the combat power dispatched by the World Government and the Navy was more terrifying than he had imagined.
Not only are there two Admiral, but also powerful members of CP0.
This lineup seems designed to deny him any chance.
"Ice Time Capsule!" Accompanied by an extremely cold ice bullet, it struck swiftly, and before anyone could react, Bullet was completely frozen.
However, in the next second, Bullet broke free from the frozen state.
A wave of intense heat had already arrived.
"It's all worth it to arrest you and imprison you in Impel Down." Sakazuki's figure appeared directly in front of Bullet, and a terrifying punch, transformed into lava, slammed towards Bullet.
Faced with this punch, Bullet had no choice but to retaliate.
Sengoku, along with Garp, two Admiral, Gaia the Earth, and three CP0 members and eight Marine Vice Admiral, constantly interspersed throughout the game.
Bullet was forced to retreat steadily, with attacks raining down on him. Every time he threw a punch, at least one person would land on him.
Kuzan's freezing effect restricted Bullet's movements, and even if only for a moment, it gave others an opportunity to attack Bullet.
This relentless attack finally enraged Bullet.
"You all should die!"
"Fusion Awakening!"
Purple crystalline energy erupted from Bullet's body, spreading outwards like a tidal wave.
The others knew what Bullet was up to and tried to stop her, but they were engulfed by the energy Bullet created.
Furthermore, a steel-like spine had formed, and Bullet's body, along with this spine, rapidly soared into the sky thousands of meters high.
The power of the Combine-Combine Fruit's Awakening is still awe-inspiring even on a second viewing; looking down from above, the purple wave has already submerged the entire island.
Bullet is merging with the entire island; rocks and mud are being swallowed by Bullet, turning into inorganic matter that rearranges and recombines into steel, constantly combining and transforming.
The terrifying behemoth reappeared, and even Sengoku and his Sengoku were powerless to stop it.
The enormous beast, entirely black and covered in Haki, was virtually indestructible.
Such overwhelming and Haki is unmatched.
"Pay the price for your stupidity!"
Bullet's voice echoed through the heavens and earth, and the terrifying behemoth raised its arms, its body undergoing a transformation.
Huge cannon barrels emerged from the behemoth's body, aimed at the distant naval force.
"Oh no!" Garp and Sengoku immediately realized what Bullet was planning and quickly ascended into the air using Geppo.
"Stop him!"
Garp was faster, appearing at the giant beast's waist and abdomen, unleashing a full-force punch to try and stop the beast's next move.
That was a terrifying punch; even Bullet's Haki couldn't withstand it. Its massive size made it even easier to break through.
On the other side, Sengoku's body continued to grow larger, reaching hundreds of meters in height and becoming enormous, yet he still appeared like an infant in front of the giant beast.
The massive body leaped high into the air, reaching the knees of the giant beast.
"The Great Buddha Impact!"
Sakazuki and Kuzan below also sprang into action, along with the Marine Vice Admiral and CP0 members.
The behemoth trembled under the attacks of the various powerful figures.
"It's no use, I'm Devil Fruit User, you can't hurt me now!" Bullet.
Garp and his team's attack was undoubtedly effective, especially Garp's punch, which directly broke through Bullet's Haki.
The Great Buddha Impact from the Sengoku also caused the behemoth to lose its footing and nearly collapse.
However, the damaged power was quickly restored by the purple energy of the Fusion-Fusion Fruit.
As soon as the behemoth stood firm, its enormous cannons, each dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the caliber of the world's largest artillery pieces, erupted with dazzling bursts of fire.
The target was the distant naval forces; the massive cannonballs possessed unimaginable power and flew at extremely high speeds through the air.
The shells flew thousands of meters into the air, and even if Sengoku and his men wanted to stop them, they were powerless to do so.
"Boom!" A towering flame and a terrifying explosion engulfed the naval soldiers in an instant, and it wasn't over yet; several more followed.
"Since you're sending these weaklings to their deaths, I'll grant your wish!" The actions of the Navy and the World Government had enraged Bullet, and he no longer needed to show any mercy.
The navy and the World Government must pay the price.
These sailors were being slaughtered without any resistance.
At the same time as Bullet fired the cannon, he controlled the behemoth and delivered a powerful punch to Garp. The punch was hundreds of meters wide, and Garp was suspended in mid-air, had no way to dodge it.
Overwhelmed by the unmatched power, Garp was sent flying.
At the same time, he kicked out, sending Sengoku flying hundreds of meters.
He had only thrown one punch before leaving, but now Bullet's Awakening terrifying power is on full display.
With its terrifying size, no one can withstand Bullet's attacks. Even if damaged, it can quickly recover, leaving Bullet completely unharmed.
If you can't hurt Bullet, you can't defeat him; it's a dead end.
Bullet now practically invincible; he didn't even use his Awakening power during his battle with Whitebeard.
