"A fight has broken out over there! Let's hurry over there!"
On Delta Island, two figures are running towards a certain direction.
" Vice Admiral Smoker, I have a question! What should we do if Xia Chen the Sovereign is going to attack Bullet?" Tashigi couldn't help but ask Smoker.
Upon hearing this, Smoker paused for a moment, then said:
"If Xia Chen is willing to help, that would be great! But if he doesn't intend to help, then we must stop Bullet; he's a madman!"
"If we let him run wild, things will definitely get out of control!"
If Xia Chen were to take care of Barrett, he would naturally be more than happy to do so, since, in his opinion, Barrett was far more dangerous than Xia Chen.
The danger here does not refer to strength, but rather to the degree of harm it poses to the world.
Based on his limited interactions with Xia Chen, he could tell that Xia Chen was not someone who would slaughter civilians without a reason.
He killed mostly people who had offended him!
Although Xia Chen's strength is unparalleled, as long as you don't provoke him, you'll generally be fine.
But Bullet is different; he's a dangerous individual who would do anything in pursuit of power.
Their navy absolutely cannot allow such a person to run rampant abroad!
Of course, Xia Chen and his group also wanted to capture him, but unfortunately, their strength didn't allow it.

Bullet glanced at Luffy and the others who Luffy a short distance in front of him, his eyes narrowing and the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
" Straw Sea Pirates!"
"Hey! Straw Hat Boy, where's Xia Chen? Why are you the only ones here? Hurry up and call him out!"
"That guy just gave me a really good gift! I'd better get my revenge!"
"What's wrong with you, big guy? You think you can just tell me to call you that? Who do you think you are?" Luffy retorted first.
Zoro and the others behind him were already used to such remarks.
There's no way around it, Luffy's learning ability is still very strong. In his battle with Xia Chen, not only did his strength improve quickly, but his verbal skills also improved at the same pace.
Bullet was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face immediately turned extremely ugly.
" Straw Hat Boy! Who gave you the audacity to talk to me like that!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Bullet's body, and he charged towards Luffy and his crew.
Bullet's thoughts are actually the same as most people in the world: he believes that Luffy and his crew's bounties are so high because of Xia Chen.
Therefore, they naturally looked down on Luffy and his crew, after all, how strong could a seventeen-year-old kid be?
"Ha! Your 'Conqueror's Haki ' is nowhere near as good as Xia Chen's, yet you dare to show off?"
Luffy scoffed, then unleashed his own Conqueror's Haki, clashing with Bullet's Conqueror's Haki.
Countless black and red Inazuma appeared nearby, and the surrounding ground began to crack and crumble, turning into rubble that flew into the distance.
"That brat!"
A hint of surprise appeared on Bullet's face as he looked at Luffy.
He hadn't expected Luffy to also possess Conqueror's Haki, and not a weak one at that. Although not as strong as him, he wasn't far off!
Just as Bullet was about to say something, he noticed that the Moss Head opposite him had also moved to stand next to the Straw Hat Boy.
Luffy was also curious about Zoro's sudden appearance. Just as he was about to ask something, a surge of Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted from Zoro's body, intertwining with his Conqueror's Haki and sweeping towards Bullet.
With Zoro's Conqueror's Haki joining in, the two of them were completely Conqueror's Haki matched with Bullet's Conqueror's Haki, evenly matched!
"Zoro... Zoro! You... how come you also have Conqueror's Haki?"
Luffy stared wide-eyed at Zoro beside him in disbelief.
Upon hearing this, Zoro smiled slightly and said calmly, "As a member of the future Pirate King's crew, isn't it normal to have Conqueror's Haki?"
These words immediately put pressure on Sanji and Usopp behind them.
Sanji, feeling the Conqueror's Haki emanating from Zoro, gaped in astonishment, even doubting if it was a dream, and slapped himself hard across the face.
"Hey! Perverted Cook! Don't slap yourself until you're stupid. We don't really need you for this battle, but what will happen to the food on our ship if you go crazy? We'll be in big trouble!"
Zoro's seemingly caring words sounded incredibly grating to Sanji at that moment.
But he didn't know what to say in rebuttal, since anything he said now seemed so pale and powerless in the face of Zoro's Conqueror's Haki.
"Damn it! Why does this Moss Head also have Conqueror's Haki?"
Sanji gritted his teeth, while Zoro, who heard Sanji's words, smiled.
At this point, he no longer needed to say anything to provoke Sanji; continuously unleashing Conqueror's Haki was the greatest provocation Sanji could receive.
"Hahaha..."
At that moment, Bullet, who was opposite them, suddenly burst into laughter.
"This is truly unexpected! The Straw Hat Pirates!"
"It seems your pirate crew won't be weak even without Xia Chen!"
"Interesting! Looks like this is going to be fun. Hopefully, you guys won't be as weak as those other losers!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bullet stomped on the ground, causing it to explode instantly, and then his figure shot out.
Seeing Luffy narrowed his eyes and wrapped his arm with Armament Haki.
"Let's go, Zoro!"
After saying that, he dashed away in an instant.
"Understood, Captain!"
Zoro's lips curled into a slight smile as he charged out alongside Luffy.
The two men attacked Bullet from both sides.
"Let me test your skills!"
Bullet approached the two men, gathered his strength in both fists, and slammed them down.
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
Luffy's fist collided with Bullet's right fist, and Zoro's sword also struck Bullet's left fist.
"Hahaha... You're definitely much better than those little brats from before! Interesting! But... it's not enough!"
Bullet laughed loudly, then unleashed a second burst of power with both fists, sending Zoro and Luffy flying.
After flying for a distance, the two landed on their feet first, leaving a long trail on the ground.
After stopping, Luffy looked at Bullet slowly walking towards them and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"This guy! Is he that strong?"
"Looks like it's going to be a tough battle!" Zoro said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Sanji's eyes lit up instantly, and he said to Zoro:
"Ha! Moss Head, if you're scared, you can go back to the ship first. It doesn't really matter whether you're here or not!"
"Hey! Since when does someone who hasn't even Awakening Conqueror's Haki dare to mock me?" Zoro retorted without any politeness.
"You..."
Upon hearing this, Sanji immediately turned red, but he didn't say anything more to Zoro. Instead, he turned to look at Bullet and rushed towards him in an instant, leaving behind only one sentence.
"Watch closely as I kick him to death, Directionally Challenged Moss Head!"
"I'm going too, Luffy, Zoro!"
After saying something to the two of them, Usopp rushed off, transforming into his White Tiger Form as he ran.
Luffy and Zoro exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and then disappeared from the spot...
