Even now, facing the formidable Bullet, he still maintained an arrogant attitude—an arrogance and contempt ingrained in the Celestial Dragons.
Even if such a powerful figure emerges from a race that they have manipulated to the point of near annihilation, what can they do? In the end, it's nothing more than a cornered beast's struggle!
"I see, thank you for letting me know!"
Bullet's face was so cold it could freeze water. No one saw that his hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched so tightly that the veins bulged and his nails dug deep into his palms, drawing blood.
Deep in his eyes, besides the surging murderous intent, there was also a barely perceptible trace of guilt.
Although the war in the entire country was orchestrated by the World Government, the country was indeed destroyed by his own hand. Now that he knows the truth, he has a place to vent the harm those people caused him!
However, that hatred couldn't simply disappear; it shifted to the World Government. Originally, his grudges with the World Government weren't significant, and there was no real hatred between them. But now, they were entangled, and it was a blood feud at that. His mindset had changed!
"Back then, I heard that there was a boy in the Galzburg Awakening the power of his bloodline, and he destroyed his own country with his own hands."
By the time we arrived, the boy had already escaped to the sea. During our pursuit, a mysterious man in black robes repeatedly obstructed our efforts.
When we found that kid again, he had joined the Roger Pirates, so we had no choice but to leave it at that for the time being. That kid who destroyed his own country, that must be you, right?
The deer-headed man was so engrossed in his speech that he was spitting everywhere, completely oblivious to the fact that Bullet's face had already turned ashen, and the murderous intent surging in his eyes was almost tangible. He continued to chatter on and on, his tone full of the arrogance ingrained in the Celestial Dragons!
Given the Celestial Dragons ' style, they would never let go of a race that had joined the enemy camp, such as the Lunarians, Giant Race, Fish-Man Race, Buccaneer Tribe, and Davy Clan!
These races have all suffered persecution at their hands; some have been nearly extinct, some have barely survived, and some have become the most elite slaves. But in the end, there is only one outcome: the complete annihilation of these races, it's only a matter of time!
"Thank you for revealing the truth. I'll give you a chance to become your strongest form, or I'm afraid you'll die rather than submit!"
Bullet clenched his fist, which was as big as a millstone, his tone as cold as ice, no longer showing any of his previous playful attitude. He was now going to kill the other party, and then go and kill more Celestial Dragons. Only in this way could he soothe his already wounded heart!
"Hmm? Don't you want to hear any more? Or do you find it unacceptable, too harsh?"
You lowly races are like this, why don't you just be our slaves? Why do you talk about dignity and freedom?
Is that something you can have? Can't you accept reality? Can't you listen to the truth? Wouldn't it be better to just accept your lowliness and mediocrity? Why fight?
The deer-headed man finally realized something was wrong, but he just thought that some of what he had said was too truthful and had hurt Bullet's cheap pride, so he didn't want to listen anymore!
He completely forgot about his previous beating by Bullet, rediscovered all the "good qualities" of Celestial Dragons, and started daydreaming again!
"Idiot!"
Before he finished speaking, Bullet's figure vanished as if he had never existed. The next second, the rhinoceros's massive body was struck as if by a ten-thousand-ton hammer, and it was sent flying backward as if it had been hit by a cannonball. A dented fist mark was particularly noticeable above its front leg!
Before the giant rhinoceros could even hit the ground, it suddenly flew off in another direction, another fist-shaped mark appearing on its body!
The punches continued in this manner, like a whirlwind, each strike creating a powerful gust of wind. Only when Bullet's figure slowly appeared in the center of the open space did the enormous creature crash heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Looking at the deer-headed man again, his rhinoceros hide, which was originally comparable to a Haki suit of armor, was now covered with countless dented fist marks, each one deeply embedded in the bone, so ferocious that it made one's scalp tingle.
"You don't want to die with dignity, so you insist on suffering first, huh!"
Bullet adjusted his headphones, looking at the smoke and dust in the distance with a hint of disdain. "They've really lost their minds. How can someone who's a Celestial Dragons be so confident that they can even forget the beating they suffered before? It's simply incomprehensible!"
"Outrageous! You wretched bastard, you're asking for it!"
As the smoke and dust cleared, a burly figure slowly rose from the deep pit.
The deer-headed man shed his bulky rhinoceros form and transformed into a muscular giant covered in tough rhinoceros hide armor, wielding a massive scythe of death!
The scythe's blade was curved like a crescent moon, gleaming with a chilling, bone-chilling light. The blade resembled the curved horn on the rhinoceros's head, and its blood-red, fierce eyes were fixed on Bullet.
"Is this your strongest form? How disappointing!"
Bullet didn't sense any increase in the opponent's aura. Apart from the smaller body, which might make them more agile, he couldn't see anything particularly powerful about them. If that Grim Reaper's scythe counts, then it is indeed quite something.
Two gazes collided in mid-air, radiating a scorching killing intent.
Both remained silent, their auras rising steadily, their domineering Haki surging like a raging torrent, causing the air around them to tremble violently, as if they were about to explode at any moment.
" Life-Taking Slash!"
" Conqueror's Fist!"
The deer-headed man wrapped all his Haki around his scythe, instantly covering the blade with jet-black Armament Haki, followed by flashes of crimson lightning; Bullet also concentrated his Haki into his fist, the blackness on his fist was darker than ink, deeper than an abyss, and the crimson Inazuma was even more violent!
Before the two could even move, their dissipated Conqueror's Haki collided with a deafening roar. Blinding crimson Inazuma tore through the sky, and a deafening explosion resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The ground beneath their feet shattered, sending countless pebbles flying into the air, only to be crushed into dust by an invisible, immense force, which then fell to the ground.
As if by some unspoken agreement, the two figures vanished from their spot simultaneously, leaving only two fleeting afterimages.
The next moment, the two were almost touching!
A sinister smile flashed in the deer-headed man's eyes. He raised the Grim Reaper's scythe high and brought it down fiercely towards Bullet's neck. The scythe blade sliced through the air with a piercing screech, determined to sever the man's head. Bullet remained expressionless, his fist thrusting forward relentlessly, the wind howling with destructive force. Whether it was a sharp scythe or a hard skull, he would smash it all to pieces!
"Snap!"
"Bang!"
Two loud explosions rang out in quick succession.
A broken piece of sickle, carrying a strong wind, whistled and plunged into the distant soil, disappearing completely into the handle.
The deer-headed man's head, which resembled a rhinoceros, had disappeared from his neck.
Bullet's massive, domineering fist rested on the broken part of his neck, its surface stained with warm blood and bits of flesh.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The splattered flesh and blood hung suspended in the air, not yet touching the ground; from the severed neck, blood gushed out like a fountain, staining Bullet's fist red.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that no one had time to react.
In a short while, time began to flow again.
The broken scythe emitted a crisp hum, and drops of blood fell to the ground, splattering into vivid, eerie blossoms.
The flesh and blood continued to roll on the ground, getting covered in mud and becoming even dirtier!
The headless body swayed, then crashed to the ground with a dull thud.
