"Hmm? Your Xia Chen the Sovereign!"
The man murmured something under his breath, his thoughts gradually drifting back to six months ago.
At that time, an unusual day arrived in the dark and gloomy sixth basement level of Impel Down where he was.
A young man came up to them and asked if they wanted to leave!
What followed was the worst prison break in Impel Down's history.
Although he didn't go to Marine Headquarters with that young man, it was indeed because of that man's arrival that he had the opportunity to escape Impel Down.
And that young man was none other than Xia Chen, who was now renowned.
By that logic, Xia Chen could be considered half his benefactor!
"Huh? Bullet, why aren't you saying anything?"
So what are your thoughts?
Seeing that the man remained silent for a long time, Festa couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Bullet snapped out of his reverie, and after a moment of silence, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Ignore it! Proceed according to the original plan!"
" Xia Chen's arrival is just in time; I'm really looking forward to meeting him!"
Bullet slowly raised his hand and clenched it into a fist.
"I wonder how many people I could kill with one punch?"
--
On Delta Island, countless pirates gathered, creating quite a lively scene.
Although tomorrow is the official start of the Pirate Expo, not many people will make the time to arrive at the last minute.
So most of the pirates have already arrived here today.
Somewhere on the island, countless stalls are gathered, selling a wide variety of goods; basically, everything is available.
Countless stalls created a street-like scene here.
In one of these places, a man with a grass-green rooster-comb hairstyle, an eye mark painted under his right eye, a nose ring, and a face like a demon was swaggering around.
He stuck his right pinky into his nostril and picked at it vigorously, looking at the people around him with disdain.
"Tch! A bunch of low-level pirates. Being with these guys really lowers my status. Isn't there anyone stronger coming over?"
"Hey! You little brat with the mohawk! I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said!"
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded from behind him, and at the same time, he felt the surrounding environment darken instantly.
Slowly turning his head, he saw a colossal figure, towering like a mountain, at least five meters tall! His exposed arms were bulging with muscles and bulging veins.
At this moment, he looked at the green-haired boy in front of him with a sinister gaze and said disdainfully:
"You brat! Do you dare say that again to my face?"
The commotion was noticed by the surrounding crowd, who couldn't help but get excited at the tense atmosphere between the two.
For pirates, the most enjoyable thing to see is this kind of conflict.
"That big guy... that's Ryan Dorry!"
These words immediately drew gasps of surprise from those around them.
"What?! It's a pirate with a bounty of 80 million?"
"That guy with the mohawk across from him is in for a rough time! He's run into a tough nut to crack!"
"Hmph!" Hearing the gasps of amazement around him, Ryan Dorry couldn't help but smile.
"Did you hear that, kid? I'm a notorious pirate with an 80 million bounty!"
"Since you just said that, and I happened to hear it, I can't let you off without teaching you a lesson!"
"But I'm in a good mood today. If you kneel down and kowtow to me right now, I might consider forgiving you!"
"How about that? I'm very kind, aren't I?"
After saying that, Ryan Dorry threw his head back and burst into laughter, but his smile froze on his face after only a short while.
"Since when did a piece of trash worth 80 million dare to call himself a great pirate? Don't make me laugh."
The man casually picked at his earwax with his left pinky finger, and the disdainful expression on his face made Dorry feel deeply insulted!
In an instant, his rage soared to the heavens!
"Kid! You're dead today. No one can save you, I'm telling you!"
"Die!"
With that, Dorry raised his enormous fist and slammed it forward.
"Bang!"
"Ah!!"
A dull thud was heard, followed by a loud scream.
What happened before their eyes was beyond everyone's expectations. Dorry's body was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground some distance away.
Then, clutching his arm in agony, he cried out loudly:
"Ah! It's broken! It's broken!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Dorry's fist, which had just attacked, had now turned 180 degrees and returned.
It's obvious at a glance that the bones in his wrist are broken.
"What... what exactly happened?"
After a long pause, a pirate in the crowd stammered a question.
Then they all turned their gaze to the man who hadn't changed his posture and was still picking at his ear.
Suddenly, one of the pirates seemed to have noticed something, and a bead of sweat trickled down his forehead.
"I... I know who that guy is!"
"He's Bartolomeo, with a bounty of 200 million Beli!!"
These words caught the attention of some of the other pirates.
"That crazy newcomer who entered the New World three months ago, Bartolomeo?"
"Yes! That's right, it's him!" The pirate who spoke first had a solemn expression on his face.
"When Bartolomeo entered the New World three months ago, his bounty was only 100 million Berries, but in those three months it has doubled to 200 million Beli!"
"He is vicious, cruel, shameless, and despicable; he acts insanely and without any moral bottom line!"
"They once shelled and set fire to innocent civilians in a certain city, and even spread images of pirates being burned and tortured!"
"Ranked No. 1 on the world's most wanted pirates to disappear in a real-time ranking!"
These words caused many pirates to look at Bartolomeo with apprehension.
"Hey hahaha!"
Bartolomeo walked up to Dorry with a smile, staring at him with a sinister look.
"Hey buddy, do you... dare to say another word to me in front of my face, like I'd kneel down?"
"I..." Upon hearing this, Dorry's expression changed. Just as he was about to warn Bartolomeo to leave some room for maneuver, he met Bartolomeo's sinister gaze. His heart trembled violently, and he immediately crawled to Bartolomeo's side.
He immediately prostrated himself in worship!
"Sir! I misspoke just now. Please forgive my rudeness and let it go!"
He kept kowtowing as he spoke, genuinely terrified by Bartolomeo's gaze.
He had never seen such a ferocious look in someone's eyes before, and he was certain that if he didn't beg for mercy immediately, the other party would never let him go.
So without saying a word, he knelt down. Although it was a bit embarrassing, it was much better than losing his life.
"Hey hahaha! Not bad, not bad! You've got real guts, big guy!"
Doribartomio, who was constantly kowtowing to him, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Then... could you please let me go?" Dorry asked Bartolomeo, looking at him with a thoughtful expression.
"This is a small problem! Of course... no way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bartolomeo's eyes hardened, and he crossed his fingers in a strange gesture, blasting forward.
Barrier Crash!
