Vic was well aware that his Haki was inferior to Bullet's, but Bullet himself was unaware of this. Vic's Haki reserves had already surpassed those of many powerful individuals that Bullet had encountered.
Furthermore, Bullet is currently at a disadvantage in the battle of Haki, and his injuries will worsen over time, leaving him with no room for maneuver. Therefore, he has no intention of continuing to Haki with Vic in terms of Haki.
With a kick from Vic to the chest, he offered no resistance and was sent flying straight to the beach, where his pirate ship was docked, filled with materials that could be used for fusion.
Bullet crouched on the beach, grinned in Vic's direction, and activated the Combine-Combine Fruit's power. A large amount of purple energy spread from his feet, flowing across the sea and enveloping the ship.
The pirate ship suddenly seemed to grow arms, and from the point of contact, it began to cling to Bullet like a purple liquid, instantly engulfing Bullet's figure in the surging semi-liquid substance.
It was only then that Vic realized Bullet had taken the kick as a matter of course, and that he didn't want to continue the contest of Haki. What followed was his real ultimate move.
Vic had thought Bullet was prepared to fight him for ten days and ten nights, but now it seemed that such battles were rare, unless the two were truly evenly matched and their Devil Fruit abilities countered each other.
He and Bullet have been fighting for almost three days. Bullet is now using his last resort. No matter what, they can't fight for ten days and ten nights. As long as Vic is fine, Bullet's Haki won't last that long after he becomes a giant.
Bullet absorbed everything very quickly; a pirate ship about fifty meters long was completely absorbed in the blink of an eye. Bullet grew larger and larger, like a sand sculpture being built up.
After absorbing the pirate ship, Bullet headed towards the island, releasing purple energy beneath his feet. The ground beneath him was scraped clean, and the soil and rocks were Bullet into his body. As he walked, his body grew larger and larger, reaching over a hundred meters tall when he was only a few dozen meters away from Vic.
"You guys stay back! It's going to get pretty noisy soon!"
Vic said to the unscrupulous people still eating and drinking, "We're fighting dangerous pirates here, and they're just eating and drinking without any camaraderie. Vic really wants to ask, 'Do you have any manners?'"
Rebecca and the others were very obedient. They packed up the fire, grill, grilled meat, and drinks and moved them to a safe place to put them back together, which made Vic's eyes twitch.
Is this a trip to fight pirates or a picnic? A battle of this magnitude is right before our eyes—can't we be a little more serious? Are we watching the World Martial Arts Tournament?
At this moment, Bullet's enormous figure had stopped and was standing not far from Vic. Vic, standing at Bullet's feet, looked no different from an ant.
Without saying a word, Vic drew the Blood Wither from his waist, unleashing a massive Sword Gang that flew towards Bullet's chest.
Bullet dodged to the side, but his body was too huge. He dodged the arm but not the Sword Gang, which pierced through the massive arm.
Like slicing a radish, the entire arm detached from Bullet's massive body, crashing into the ground and creating a large crater, instantly sending up clouds of dust.
Just then, a sea breeze blew by, carrying the smoke and dust towards Garp and his group. Vic heard their coughs and disgruntled complaints, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
Although Vic's Sword Gang severed one of Bullet's giant arms, Bullet's main body remained unharmed. He hadn't yet applied his Haki to the giant, otherwise Vic wouldn't have so easily severed his arm.
Bullet didn't care. He raised his giant foot and stepped on the severed arm. Purple energy spread, and soon the severed arm on the ground disappeared, and the giant's severed arm grew back.
That wasn't all. Starting from the giant's head, powerful and profound Armament Haki spread across the entire surface of the giant's body. This was the final state of Bullet's Combine-Combine Fruit.
Without the support of powerful Armament Haki, the Combine-Combine Fruit is not even as good as Pica's Stone-Stone Fruit. The two have similar abilities, but Pica can freely move the location of his original body inside the giant's body.
However, Bullet is different. The giant he transforms into is more like armor he wears, with his original body in a fixed position. Zoro probably prefers a fusion fruit Devil Fruit User with less Haki someone like Pica, who is good at escaping.
However, the Combine-Combine Fruit also has its advantages. It can absorb and fuse any inorganic matter, even metal. If a Titan were made entirely of metal, it would be very strong. However, this depends on the environment, as not all places have metallic substances.
The Stone-Stone Fruit only works on stones, so each has its own advantages. However, for a strong person like Vic, neither the Metal Giant nor the Stone Giant is very effective; only Haki can defend against his attacks.
Seeing Bullet's deep purple giant form, Vic knew the final battle had arrived. As long as he defeated Bullet in this form, the mission would be successfully completed.
" Gion- neechan! Is this Bullet's Devil Fruit ability? It's huge! Compared to him, this island really looks like a Little Garden! And that powerful Haki... I have a bad feeling about this!"
Rebecca looked at Bullet's current ferocious and enormous appearance with some concern. She hadn't felt this way before when he wasn't covered by his Haki, but now the oppressive feeling was too strong, as if she were facing an ancient mythical beast.
"Don't worry! With so many of us here watching, how can we let him get away with this? Trust Vic!"
Gion was equally worried. She Tokikake had been badly beaten by this giant before and had to flee in a sorry state. They were still a little scared when they saw it now. They couldn't even last five minutes back then!
Vic looked at the giant before him, which was almost identical to the final form in the Stampede. He guessed that this was the balance that Bullet could achieve based on his Devil Fruit ability and the amount of Haki he had stored.
It's not that he can't grow any bigger, it's just that if he gets too big, the supply of Haki won't be enough, or he can only be a real man for three seconds. Neither of these states is suitable for fighting against strong opponents.
Vic unleashed another massive Sword Gang, this time targeting Bullet's enormous head. This was also a test; he wanted to see the extent of the giant's domineering Haki defense.
Although the Sword Gang energy was fast, Bullet was not slow either. He simply flicked his wrist outwards and sent the massive Sword Gang Sword Gang far away, Vice Admiral into the sea and creating a huge wave.
