Hawkins approached and took out his divination cards, suspending them one by one in the air while saying:
"The probability of us defeating that red-faced man together with the Straw Hat Pirates is 100%!"
"And the probability of the Straw Hat Pirates defeating him is..."
Hawkins paused for a moment, then looked up at the crowd and said, word by word:
"Hundred percent!"
So... the outcome of this battle won't change whether we're there or not!
"Whispering sound!"
Upon hearing this, Apoo laughed dismissively and mocked Hawkins:
"Hey! Hawkins, what's the point of your unreliable divination? What does it prove?"
Believe it or not, it's up to you!
Hawkins glanced at him indifferently, then turned and walked away.
The Straw Hat Pirates are here, so even if they defeat this man in the end, the treasure will not fall into their hands.
So, are we not going to leave the battlefield now and just wait to get caught in the crossfire later?
However, Hawkins had no intention of leaving the island. Although he wouldn't participate in the battle, this was a chance to see that man fight up close, and he certainly wouldn't miss it!
That person... was called the World's Strongest six months ago!
But many times, he can't simply get away with it just because he doesn't want to!
Bullet couldn't help but smile when he saw how easily they withstood his Conqueror's Haki.
"Before dealing with Xia Chen..."
"Let's start by using you guys as a warm-up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bullet shot out and flew towards them.
"Hey! He's attacking them!" Drake yelled.
Seeing this, the others also assumed defensive stances, each on high alert.
Bullet appeared in front of Drake first, so fast that Drake didn't even have time to react. Just as he was about to throw a punch, a huge fist hit him in the face.
"Whoosh!"
A whooshing sound rang out, and Drake's figure was instantly sent flying backward like a cannonball.
After knocking Drake, several explosions suddenly occurred on Bullet's body.
It's Apoo's Paramecia Oto Oto no Mi ability!
Thick smoke billowed up instantly!
"Haha! How was my attack!" Apoo smiled. But the smile froze on his face the next second.
"It's not very strong! It's not even enough to tickle you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bullet's figure burst out of the thick smoke and arrived in front of Apoo in the blink of an eye.
He punched Apoo hard in the stomach.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spurted from Apoo's mouth, and he was sent flying backward just like Drake.
Bullet then used his superior strength to weave through the crowd, punching whoever he came in front of.
Just as Bullet finished his round and was about to say something, the sky suddenly darkened.
Without hesitation, he immediately dodged to the side.
The next second, a huge claw slammed into the spot where he had just been standing, blasting a large crater into the ground.
Before he could make any further moves, an equally enormous tail swept across his body.
"Bang!"
A dull thud followed, and Bullet was sent flying for the first time.
Unbeknownst to him, Bonney had already arrived in the path of his backward flight.
"Twisted Future - Death Thrust!"
Bonney's body instantly transformed into a muscular form as she lunged at Bullet.
Bonney couldn't help but smile as the attack landed on Bullet.
"I thought you were so strong! Shrink to a smaller size, you bastard!"
But to her surprise, Bullet's body did not turn into a child's form as she had imagined.
"How... how is this possible!" Bonney's face showed horror.
"What's impossible about that! Haki is the nemesis of Devil Fruit abilities. As long as your Haki is strong enough, your attacks will be completely ineffective against me!"
Bullet had already turned around and was facing Bonney, his eyes revealing a look of disdain.
Then he kicked Bonney hard, sending Bonney flying backward once more.
As soon as Bullet landed, a terrifying-looking scarecrow appeared behind him.
" The Demon Subduing Form!"
"Oh!"
Bullet scoffed, turned around instantly, and sent the giant scarecrow flying with a single punch.
" Karma!"
Urouge approached Bullet, veins bulging on his arms, and raised his enormous fist to strike Bullet.
Bullet reacted immediately and threw a punch at Urouge as well.
The two fists collided in mid-air, sending a massive shockwave spreading outwards. The surrounding ground shattered from the impact.
After a brief standoff, Bullet managed a smile.
"The strength is good, but still a bit lacking!"
Then he suddenly exerted force with his fist.
Feeling the immense power emanating from the fist, Urouge broke out in a few beads of sweat, his expression turning horrified.
But before he could think too much, Bullet's fist broke through his and slammed heavily into his face.
With a "whoosh," Urouge was also sent flying.
At this moment, the battlefield resembled a game of beanbag toss, with figures flying back and forth across the area.
after a while...
Looking at the crowd ahead, too exhausted to get up, Bullet smiled slightly.
"The worst of times? Nothing more than this!"
"You think you can cause me trouble with your meager strength? Who gave you the audacity!"
They were all stunned when they heard this.
No! Don't lie so blatantly!
We haven't even done anything yet, and you just came and hit us without saying a word, okay?
But before they could even say those words, they could no longer hold on and collapsed, losing consciousness and falling to the ground.
"Ha! A bunch of useless trash!"
Seeing this, Bullet couldn't help but say another thing.
Xia Chen, who was watching this scene from above, couldn't help but shake his head.
The Worst Generation from the original work is actually quite weak now!
Is it because only six months have passed since the Paramount War, giving these guys too little time to grow?
Luffy and Zoro are much stronger than these guys now; after all, they are already stronger than they were two years later.
However, these guys are still not as strong as they were two years later in the original story, so the difference in strength is huge.
"So, next... the main character is about to appear, right?"
Xia Chen murmured softly, then looked down.
Luffy and Zoro were slowly walking towards Bullet...
