Bullet's aura surged! Intensified! Exploded!
His skin turned purple, his muscles bulged, and his wild white hair stirred without a breeze.
...It felt as though the art style had suddenly changed.
"Coward!! Stop running!!!"
Bullet shot forward like a cannonball, closing the distance in an instant and driving a fist straight at Shining.
Immense Armament Haki wreathed his fist, tearing through the air with an explosive crack.
Bullet only respected the kind of fight where powerful men clashed head-on.
But Shining's fighting style was clearly far too "sneaky." It made his skin crawl, leaving all his pent-up rage nowhere to go.
"You're way too bullheaded, little Kaido."
Shining's Observation Haki caught the signs of movement before Bullet's muscles even flexed. His movements were sharp and straightforward.

Shining dissolved into electric arcs.
Bullet "crashed" into Shining's former position like a missile, leaving a crater.
The stone-and-concrete ground shattered, flinging debris and dirt high into the air in a massive circular wave.
Shining re-formed in midair and glanced down at where he had been standing, only to see a "purple meteor" shoot skyward.
-Oh shit, he's coming at me!?
Electric arcs traced an exclamation mark across Shining's "face."
"Don't call me that!!!"
Bullet's eyes blazed red.
Shining kept "blinking," but Bullet pursued relentlessly, using Armament Haki to step through the air and trace a purple zigzag across the sky.
"...Whoa... touched a nerve~?"
As Shining blinked around, he scattered a barrage of ball lightning. Bullet simply punched straight through it.
He called Bullet "little Kaido" because their upbringings were similar, but Bullet fell short of Kaido in every "stat."
Bullet certainly had talent, and he had even realized
