Vic couldn't stand Gion's gaze, so he thought of changing the subject. He could talk about the enemy that Gion Tokikake couldn't handle, so as to know the enemy and himself. It would also give them something to talk about during the meal.
"This enemy is known to the world as the ' Demon Heir,' and his name is Douglas Bullet. Like you, he is also called a monster!"
At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he was betrayed and his country was destroyed. Heartbroken, he left his birthplace and later, by chance, encountered the Roger Pirates at sea.
The two sides clashed for reasons unknown. After being defeated by Roger, he joined Roger Pirates, solely to become stronger and defeat Roger.
After joining Roger, Barrett challenged Roger several times, but was Roger each time. At this point, apart from losing to Roger and fighting to Dark King Rayleigh, Bullet had no rivals left on Roger's ship!
Garp slowly explained while eating, "Now that it's time for battle, it's essential to inform our subordinates about the enemy."
Bullet? Is he still at large?
Vic was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but shout out, because in his memory, Bullet should have been locked up on Level 6 of Impel Down long ago!
Because of his reckless fighting on the high seas, which caused enormous destruction and posed a great threat, Bullet should have been defeated and imprisoned in Impel Down by the old man and Sengoku with the Buster Call when he was only 22 years old!
Bullet is almost 28 years old now, isn't he? And he's still wreaking havoc on the seas? Why is there such a huge discrepancy here?
Vic wondered if he had arrived in a parallel world of One Piece, but considering that he had already transmigrated to this world, it was already a parallel world, separated from the original One Piece world, and the future might change!
"No wonder the old man brought the Golden Den Den Mushi that triggered the Buster Call. I thought it was for Golden Lion, but I didn't expect the target to be Bullet!"
Was it because of my appearance that Sengoku stopped following the old man? Or was it because Bullet hadn't been wreaking havoc and disrupting the balance of the seas in the preceding years, so the Navy hadn't been keeping an eye on him?
Was it Bullet's own decision that delayed his imprisonment in Impel Down? But with those extra years of freedom, Bullet should have become even stronger, right? No wonder Gion Tokikake couldn't defeat him even when they teamed up; Bullet truly is a monster!
Vic thought to himself, Bullet's talent is indeed remarkable. Even after being captured Impel Down, he did not give up his training, as if he knew he could get out!
Two years after he came out, he did something big: the battle for the Eternal Pose of Laugh Tale, also known as the Pirate Expo.
He's not afraid of facing so many Supernovas, Shichibukai, Marine Vice Admiral, CP0, and even Marine Admiral on the perimeter just in case!
Armament Haki seems inexhaustible, Conqueror's Haki has reached the point where it can affect physical objects, but the effect is so small that it's like a light drizzle hitting someone.
It doesn't quite reach the strength of Shanks's hammer blow that directly cracks the ship's hull, but it's still enough to overwhelm King Luffy.
At that time, Bullet did not yet Conqueror's Haki Coating. With the combined help of others and King Luffy's indomitable will, he was defeated. This battle can be described as a glorious defeat. However, with Marine Admiral covering the perimeter, even if Bullet had defeated everyone on the island, it would have been difficult for him to escape unscathed!
"Yes! After learning that Roger had a terminal illness, Bullet fought Roger again, and after being defeated, he left the Roger Pirates!"
I guess he felt he wasn't strong enough, which is why he hasn't shown up much over the years. He's probably hiding somewhere, diligently training.
The Navy doesn't really pay attention to these semi-reclusive pirate powerhouses, mainly because they don't have that many high-end troops. As long as they don't cause trouble, we turn a blind eye!
We just didn't expect that after his appearance this time, he would start challenging the strong at sea like crazy, leaving few civilians alive in the places he passed through. Our headquarters had no choice but to take him seriously!
Garp continued, explaining that this was also why he had been rushing all the way. Every extra day of delay could mean the loss of tens of thousands of lives. Fortunately, Gion Tokikake had been interfering with Bullet, otherwise the civilian casualties would have been even greater.
"Because Tokikake and I have been harassing and preventing Bullet from harming civilians, he now has a number of desperados working for him."
"We were held up by Bullet alone, and could only watch helplessly as his men slaughtered civilians. But with your help this time, we're sure to take down Bullet!"
After Garp finished speaking, Gion, with red eyes, delivered another message. Everyone could see the resentment on her face; she had probably been feeling extremely frustrated lately.
After hearing Garp and Gion's words, the atmosphere at the dinner table became much more tense. The enemy was not only powerful but also somewhat ruthless. They had not learned anything from the Roger Pirates ' way of doing things and were indeed inferior to Red-Haired Shanks.
This may have a lot to do with Bullet's experience, unlike Shanks who grew up on Roger's ship and whose personality and way of doing things are exactly like Roger's.
Bullet was only subdued by Roger's power. Without Roger's restraint, he is capable of doing anything crazy. Bullet has already gone berserk, and the Navy has no choice but to intervene.
" Bullet is also a Paramecia Devil Fruit User, and his Devil Fruit ability has Awakening! The powerful Haki combined with the awakened Devil Fruit ability Awakening really troublesome!"
The best course of action this time is to quickly surround and defeat him! We can't let him get away with it any longer; if this drags on, countless civilians will die!
After a moment of silence at the dinner table, Tokikake revealed an important piece of information.
Others might not know this information, but Vic had already confirmed that Bullet's Devil Fruit Awakening, because Bullet was already in Devil Fruit Awakening state when he appeared in the previous life 'Stampede.
Although it had been two years since he Impel Down, Vic didn't believe that Bullet had eaten Devil Fruit and Awakening in those two years.
Moreover, it's highly unlikely that he only Awakening Devil Fruit ability within the last two years. Being imprisoned on Level 6 of Impel Down with Seastone Handcuffs prevented him from using or developing his fruit power.
Therefore, he must have developed his Devil Fruit to an Awakening state before he was captured, which is why Vic had already deduced what Tokikake said and was mentally prepared.
" Vic! You'll lead the attack this time. You and Bullet should be evenly matched. If anything unexpected happens, I'll step in, and the others will clip Bullet's wings and crush him completely this time!"
Garp did not decide to besiege Bullet. If Bullet were defeated by a siege, everyone present would have contributed, and distributing even the greatest credit would not have much significance.
