Background / History

Bullet was originally known as Number 9, a Boy Soldier under Douglas Rain. When Li Yuan tested the Boy Soldiers with killing intent, Bullet alone remained standing. Recognizing his resilience and potential, Li Yuan recruited him and gave him the name Douglas Bullet. 57

He trained with Nepal under the supervision of Kano, motivated by Li Yuan's promise that exceptional performance could earn a Devil Fruit. 62 Li Yuan later selected him as a vice-captain and personally gave him the Mythical Zoan Kong Titan Form fruit, intending for Bullet to become his right hand and a pillar of the Limitless Pirates. 127

Bullet's rapid growth continued through repeated high-level battles. After awakening Armament Haki, he fought Army General candidate Herman for three days and killed him, catching up to Asura Doji in strength. 203 He later passed Li Yuan's Core Officer trial, then sought the First Mate position after mastering Conqueror's Haki coating against Kaido. 217 369 370

Personality

Bullet is intensely battle-driven and measures himself through direct combat. He seeks powerful opponents, treats difficult battles as opportunities to improve, and remains eager to fight even after suffering severe injuries. 251 369

He is confident to the point of fearlessness, declaring that anyone wishing to challenge Li Yuan must defeat him first. Despite this confidence, he acknowledges stronger opponents and focuses on closing the gap through training. 251 395

His loyalty to Li Yuan is central to his ambitions: he wants to become the Limitless Pirates' First Mate and Li Yuan's foremost subordinate rather than pursue strength independently. 127 369
