"Um?"
Upon hearing Bullet couldn't help but feel curious and asked in confusion:
"Have we met before?"
"Look at what you're saying, didn't we meet back in Impel Down?" Xia Chen retorted.
"So you consider sensing someone's presence through a cell as proof of having seen them, huh?"
"Does it really have to be a face-to-face meeting to be considered a meeting?" Xia Chen asked again.
(⊙o⊙)...
"Let's not talk about that anymore, Xia Chen. You came here because you want the treasure I have?"
Bullet said with a knowing smile.
"No, no! I'm not interested in Eternal Log Pose points to Laugh Tale!"
"!!!"
"How did you know what was in there?" Bullet's face showed a look of horror. Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked directly:
"Could it be that guy Festa who told you?"
"I have my own sources of information; he didn't tell me!" Xia Chen shook his head.
"Alright, Bullet! Enough with the nonsense! You've been wanting to test my skills for a while now, haven't you?"
"What? Aren't you going to make a move?"
"Since you didn't attack me while I was dealing with those idiots, I'll let you make the first move!"
"I, Bullet, wouldn't stoop to such a sneak attack!" Bullet said calmly, then his gaze sharpened as he raised his massive arm.
He wrapped his entire body in Armament Haki, then slammed a powerful punch at Xia Chen.
Bullet went all out from the start, showing no mercy.
Great reputations are never undeserved!
Since Xia Chen has held the title of the World's Strongest for so long, his strength absolutely cannot be weak!
So now, for the two of them, he is the challenger! Therefore, there's no way he'll hold back!
"Boom!"
A tremendous sound rang out, and Bullet, inside the giant's body, showed a look of horror on his face.
His fist didn't hit Xia Chen; instead, it was blocked by a golden wall of light covered with ancient runes, preventing it from advancing an inch.
His fist was less than a meter away from Xia Chen, a distance that seemed negligible to his massive frame.
But that one meter was like an insurmountable chasm to him at this moment; no matter how hard he tried, the wall of light remained completely unmoved.
"I refuse to believe we can't break this thing!"
Bullet roared and threw another punch at Xia Chen, which struck the light wall with another loud bang.
But the result was no different from before; the golden light wall remained as solid as ever, without showing any signs of cracking.
Bullet didn't hesitate and continued to swing his fists, his two fists constantly clashing and pounding towards Xia Chen, just like Luffy's Gatling.
After a period of time~
"Huff~ Huff~"
Inside the giant's body, Bullet was panting heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead.
But his gaze remained fixed on the golden wall of light ahead, which remained unchanged despite his relentless barrage of attacks.
Controlling such a massive body to continuously throw punches is an enormous drain on his stamina.
Correspondingly, each punch was incredibly powerful. If his fists had landed entirely on the island beneath his feet, they would have shattered it into pieces and sunk to the bottom of the sea.
But the light had no effect whatsoever on that thin, gossamer-like wall of light.
Is this some kind of outrageous nonsense?
A smile appeared on Xia Chen's lips behind the light wall. With a thought, the light wall gradually disappeared, and he said to Bullet:
"Your strength is indeed quite impressive; you rank among the top even among all the people I've ever fought!"
Thinking about this, Xia Chen couldn't help but feel that Bullet's defeat to Luffy in the original work was mostly due to plot-driven events.
Otherwise, given Luffy's strength at the time, there was no way he could have defeated Bullet!
A master of the Conqueror's Coating technique is not so easy to defeat!
"That's it! I suddenly had a great idea. Since you're so big, I'll get you a big one to play with!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many rocks appeared out of thin air. Unlike ordinary rocks, these rocks were covered with golden patterns, like flowing lava.
Then these rocks continued to combine and piece together in the air.
Gradually, a figure just as enormous as the giant controlled by Bullet appeared on the opposite side. The giant's entire body was composed of rocks with golden patterns, and it looked incredibly imposing!
"It really was you!"
Upon seeing these unusual rocks, Bullet couldn't help but remark that these rocks were identical to the one that had attacked him earlier, even a casual glance would tell him.
So why did you attack me back then?
"It's nothing, I just wanted to speed things up a bit!"
Xia Chen answered calmly, and then his figure instantly appeared on top of the rock giant's head.
Just like that guy in the movie next door who uses Wood Release, but unlike him, the rock giant that Xia Chen created is much better looking than that ugly wooden doll.
Putting everything else aside, looks are Xia Chen's top priority!
"Alright, now it's fair!"
Xia Chen said with a faint smile, and then the rock giant beneath him moved, quickly arriving in front of Bullet's giant in a few steps, raising his fist that emitted golden light and smashing it down.
"Bang!"
The fist slammed heavily into the face of the Bullet giant, the powerful force causing him to stagger backward, his massive foot leaving a long trail in the ground.
Xia Chen pressed his advantage relentlessly, giving him no chance to react, and once again controlled the giant to charge forward.
Bullet, not to be outdone, also controlled the giant to raise its massive fist.
"Boom!"
Two enormous fists collided in mid-air, unleashing a tremendous roar.
A shockwave spread outwards, causing the land and mountains to crack and crumble.
Xia Chen looked at the person opposite him and a smile appeared on his lips.
" Bullet, this strength isn't quite up to par!"
Then, with a thought, he suddenly exerted force a second time on the fist of the rock giant beneath his feet, continuously forcing the fist of the Bullet giant back.
"!!!"
Inside the Titan, Bullet only had time to show a look of horror as he experienced the sensation of flying within the Titan's body.
At the same time, the immense power was transmitted to him through the giant, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood.
But before he could think too much about it, a huge figure appeared in front of him again.
Then he saw countless fists raining down on him like a storm.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
