This is outrageous!

Upon hearing Bullet's words, the deer-headed man was instantly enraged, his bull-like eyes turning bloodshot, filled with fury and murderous intent!

A deafening roar echoed through the sky as the rhinoceros stomped its four hooves on the ground, causing it to collapse instantly. Its massive body, like an out-of-control chariot, charged wildly toward Bullet.

He flattened that dark, curved horn, its cold light gleaming, carrying an aura capable of piercing mountains, determined to pierce the heart of this arrogant man before him!

Before he transformed, he had been constantly being beaten, and he was only able to hold on until now thanks to his immortality.

Not only do you get physically assaulted, but you also suffer psychological attacks—the kind of infuriating trash talk you get through!

Bullet believed that what he said was true, but to the deer-headed man, every word was a stab to the heart. He was being looked down upon, belittled, and ignored, which hurt him more than if his father had been killed!

"You're not human either!"

The deer-headed man stomped the ground with all four hooves, sending pebbles flying as his massive body surged forward with a gust of wind. He was quite fast, which surprised Bullet, but before making his move, he couldn't help but say something.

It was precisely this sarcastic remark that ignited the deer-headed man's fury, causing him to increase his speed by a factor of three!

Bullet clearly saw that the pair of bull-like eyes, like copper bells, suddenly became bloodshot, as if flames were churning and leaping in their depths, and the terrifying ferocity almost solidified into a tangible form!

He thought the old bull was about to spit fire from its eyes, but instead it just lowered its head and pointed its gleaming rhinoceros horn straight at his chest.

Bullet wasn't foolish enough to try and withstand that sharp rhinoceros horn with his body. Although he was sharp-tongued, the sharp energy emanating from the tip of the horn made his hair stand on end, giving him a very dangerous feeling. This was also why he had his eye on that horn!

He leaped up from the ground and stomped hard on the rhinoceros's horn-like back.

So instead of taking the blows on the spot, he suddenly exerted force with his feet and leaped into the air, drawing a sharp arc in the air. Before the deer-headed man could react, he plummeted down like an eagle swooping down on a rabbit, landing squarely on the rhinoceros horn's back. The heavy force slammed the large horn into the ground!

The incomparably sharp horn instantly transformed into a plowing tool, carving a deep trench more than a meter wide into the ground.

As Bullet's muscles bulged, a tremendous force poured down like a tidal wave. The rhinoceros horn drilled into the ground inch by inch, forcibly reversing the deer-headed man's forward momentum. The huge body lost its balance and, using the horn as a fulcrum, somersaulted 180 degrees.

The heavy weight of his back slammed into the ground with a deafening roar that shook the entire island. Cracks spread out like a spiderweb, and dust billowed into the sky.

Outside the smoke and dust, Bullet had already leisurely jumped away, arms crossed, watching his disheveled opponent with amusement.

"You reckless ox, aren't you? Don't you watch where you're going? Oh! You're looking down, you can't see clearly."

Bullet's bulging muscles trembled slightly with his laughter as he grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, his eyes full of mockery.

He is now so powerful that he inspires fear.

He was already a gifted monster, and after joining the Thunder God Pirates, he used all sorts of treasures and shortcuts to aid his training, giving the impression that he was so strong he was about to explode!

After the deer-headed man transformed, his speed did indeed increase dramatically, but in Bullet's all-encompassing Observation Haki perception, every movement and trajectory of his opponent was as clear as if in slow motion.

He himself believed in the power of brute force—want speed? All he had to do was unleash his full muscle power in an instant, and with the reaction force, he could become a blur. In front of him, the deer-headed man could only get beaten up!

The deer-headed man grunted and shook his bull head a few times before finally pulling his long horn, which was deeply embedded in the ground, out. Although the blow had been quite solid, causing the ground to shake violently, he was unharmed. He was naturally thick-skinned and tough, and since Bullet hadn't really used his strength, he was completely unscathed.

Bullet was indeed in a playful mood, so he didn't go all out against the deer-headed man. Over the years, the number of opponents who could truly ignite his fighting spirit had been extremely small.

Now that he's encountered someone who's practically invincible, of course he wants to have some fun with them—that's Bullet's mindset right now.

"You're from the Galzburg, aren't you?"

The deer-headed man steadied himself but did not immediately attack. Instead, he calmly asked Bullet a question, breaking the tense atmosphere. Bullet's unusual behavior made him speculate.

" Galzburg?"

Bullet raised an eyebrow, not in a hurry to make a move. He was confident in his abilities and could get serious whenever he wanted, so he didn't mind chatting with the deer-headed man for a bit.

"It also has another name: the Endless War Country!"

The deer-headed man spoke slowly, a strange light gleaming in his bull-like eyes.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words " the Endless War Country," Bullet's nonchalant, wicked smile slowly vanished.

This subtle change in expression was enough to confirm his guess.

What do you mean by saying this now?

Bullet's face suddenly darkened, and his tone became cold.

He didn't know what the other party's intentions were in bringing up their homeland at this critical juncture, but his intuition told him that there must be some secret hidden there that he didn't know about.

"It seems you knew nothing about it. This means our plan was a success; we just missed you!"

On the bull-faced deer-headed man, a human-like expression of regret appeared; his guess was correct— Bullet was no ordinary person.

"Plan? What plan? Still keeping us in suspense? Want to get to hell sooner?"

Bullet was getting impatient, his fist clenching unconsciously. If the other person dared to keep him in suspense with their next words, or if they said something trivial, he would definitely kill them in the most ruthless way possible, to teach this guy a lesson so he wouldn't keep babbling like that in his next life.

Do you know why your country went from being known as the " Galzburg " to a " Endless War Country "?

This is, of course, because of your race. You've probably seen the newspapers before; there was a war that swept the entire world 800 years ago.

Your ancestors, a special race, stood against us, on Joy Boy's side, and in the end, you were defeated!

The deer-headed man ignored Bullet's threat, his voice low and hoarse!

He seemed to know many secrets, and at this special moment, there was no longer any need to hide these long-buried secrets.

The moment he spoke the truth, he even felt a sense of exhilaration, as if he had spoken his mind freely.

"So the endless wars in our region are caused by your World Government?"

Although the deer-headed man didn't say it explicitly, Bullet wasn't all brawn and no brain; he instantly understood the deeper meaning behind the man's words!

Eight hundred years ago, his ancestors chose the wrong side, siding with Joy Boy. Joy Boy was ultimately defeated and killed, and his descendants became the targets of the World Government's revenge.

Their homes were turned upside down, and they suffered endless torment, both physically and mentally!

"That's right! Your race is collectively called the ' Oni,' but it has several branches."

Judging from your physique, you are as imposing as a mountain, possessing unparalleled strength. Your branch should be the Evil Oni Tribe, a bloodline with a hidden inheritance, somewhat similar to the ancient bloodline of the Giant Race.

However, Giant Race can tell whether someone has ancient blood from birth, while you Evil Oni Tribe can't.

Only by undergoing numerous trials and tribulations and gaining the recognition of one's bloodline can one finally Awakening the power of their bloodline, causing their physical talents to increase exponentially. Your current state is a manifestation of the great perfection of your bloodline power!

The deer-headed man spoke eloquently, his tone filled with pride.

He was one of the participants in the conspiracy against the Galzburg back then.

The thrill of manipulating an entire country is still fresh in his memory, and he feels no remorse whatsoever.
