"Armor Combination!"
Facing the world-shattering attacks from Akainu and Aokiji, Bullet chose not to take them head-on.
He was a Paramecia Fusion Fruit user, with the ability to rearrange and combine all objects. His pirate ship, the Catapult, was Bullet's only companion, loaded with weapons and iron.
As Bullet activated his Devil Fruit ability, he directly fused with the Catapult.
Activating "Medium Bullet Form"!
A giant!
On the Dog Head Warship, Leon watched in fascination, half his body leaning over the railing.
After the armor combination, Bullet, in an extremely aggressive stance, directly smashed through Aokiji and Akainu's attacks.
Seeing that long-range attacks were ineffective, Aokiji and Akainu exchanged a glance midair and tacitly chose to land on the island.
Akainu took the lead as the frontal attacker, while Aokiji launched long-range attacks while quietly freezing the ground beneath their feet.
This familiar scene made Leon, watching from the sidelines, furrow his brow...
On the small island, Akainu's fists turned into surging magma as he exchanged blows with Bullet at terrifying speed.
The scorching magma slammed into Bullet's armor, leaving massive, irreparable craters.
But the real killing move came from the ground!
Aokiji had unknowingly planted several Time Freeze Capsules.
Aokiji's face was cold and stern. With his successful experience at Mary Geoise, he believed that if the cold air activated simultaneously, he could definitely restrain this monster.
"Not good!"
Leon had already anticipated Aokiji's move, and anxiety surged in his heart.
Come on! Big brother in armor!
Behind him, Bogard, who hadn't been knocked unconscious by Conqueror's Haki, looked at Leon's reaction with a strange expression.
"Mr. Garp's disciple seems to be cheering for the enemy..."
On the battlefield, Akainu, who had always prided himself on his Logia Devil Fruit ability, felt for the first time his shortcomings in Haki and physical combat.
His opponent was already injured from the cannon bombardment, yet his fists only grew heavier...
At the end of his rope, Akainu finally received the signal from Aokiji. He used all his strength to trade a punch with Bullet, then leveraged the force to retreat.
"Time Freeze Capsule!"
Aokiji activated his ability, and countless massive ice blocks sprouted from the ground.
But!
Just as Aokiji launched his surprise attack, Bullet leaped high into the air!
Then, the "Medium Bullet Form" right fist, coated in Armament Haki, slammed heavily into the ground!
The ground shattered directly, and the entire island shook violently as if hit by an earthquake!
The deadly trap meticulously set by Akainu and Aokiji was broken by Bullet with a single punch.
Before the two could regroup, Bullet, in "Medium Bullet Form," appeared behind Akainu at ghostly speed!
Caught off guard, Akainu barely sensed Bullet's attack with Observation Haki before he could react.
The next moment!
Bullet grabbed Akainu's body tightly with his right fist and began smashing him into the ground!
Under Bullet's attacks coated in Armament Haki, Akainu, unable to turn into his elemental form, took several heavy blows head-on before spewing a torrent of blood from his mouth!
"Yes!!!"
Leon couldn't help pumping his right fist.
An inadvertent glance back, and Leon caught sight of Bogard standing behind him with an increasingly strange expression.
"Uh..."
Leon gave an awkward smile.
"You know... I'm a bit slow on the uptake..."
"I thought Brother Kuzan's attack just now had already beaten that monster..."
"..."
The perspective returned to the battlefield. Seeing that Akainu couldn't break free from Bullet's grip on his own, Kuzan decided to directly unleash Ice Age to freeze Bullet and Akainu together.
Just then, a blur flashed past Kuzan.
To prevent any mishap to the future pillars of the Marines, stepping onto the battlefield now were—
The Hero of the Marines—Garp!
Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Buddha Form—Buddha Sengoku!
"Fist Bone - Impact!"
Garp's Haki-coated fist sent Bullet's body flying directly.
Kuzan seized the chance to catch Akainu, who had been thrown by Bullet, and under Sengoku's signal as he entered behind Garp, dragged the injured Akainu back to the warship in a hurry.
Leon slammed the railing on the Dog Head Warship.
The young one comes, and the old one follows—the Marines really have no martial honor!
Bullet, clad in armor, crashed heavily onto the ground.
He staggered to his feet, his fighting spirit undiminished.
"Garp! You finally couldn't hold back from making a move!"
"And Buddha Sengoku..."
"I'll kill both of you!!!"
"I am stronger than Roger!!!"
After the Marines' relentless assault, Bullet's will to fight only grew, and Leon on the Dog Head Warship marveled at his strength.
Too bad, Bullet hadn't yet undergone the 20 years of tempering in Impel Down, so his power hadn't reached its peak, nor had he mastered his Devil Fruit awakening.
What a pity.
He wouldn't get to see his "Large Bullet Form."
Leon clicked his tongue, his mind conjuring the scene of himself transforming into Godzilla and battling a super-massive monster larger than half an island.
