The turbulent storm set off layers of rippling traces on the ground, and the distinct purple and red airwaves collided with each other, making the two wild and domineering figures seem like ghosts and gods. Under the violent collision, the berserk aura radiated out at an extremely terrifying speed, causing the ground, trees, and building wreckage on the edge of the island to crackle, revealing fine cracks.
The substantial pressure caused the warships that were advancing at full speed to stagnate. Many weaker Marines on the warship lost consciousness, unable to bear the pressure. The Marines' eyes widened, looking at the town that seemed to have turned into a Shura hell, with black and red lightning occupying the background.
"Collision of Conqueror's Haki!" gasped the onlookers. "Commodore Darren has awakened Conqueror's Haki! It's horrible!"
Standing at the bow of the ship, facing the impending tsunami, Sakazuki remained motionless like a steep rock wall, a white cloak dancing wildly behind him, a faint light flashing deep in his eyes. "Hahahahaha!! That's how it feels!!" cried Douglas Bullet, his crimson eyes filled with fighting spirit. He grinned excitedly. "Come on, Marine!! Let me have a good fight!!"
As his words fell, Bullet's ghostly eyes turned ferocious and blood-red, and the aura of his body rose again. "Roar!!" With a yell, Bullet wrestled with Darren on his right arm, his knotted muscles swelling, and a more domineering Haki erupted from him. Darren's pupils shrank.
"Try to stop me, Marine!!" Bullet smirked, and his arms, as thick as a beast's, exploded with power. With strength surpassing giants, he punched Darren, sending him flying out! Boom! The airwaves exploded, and the released Armament Haki tore the ground and debris, forming a huge gully.
Darren's figure flew like a cannonball, crashing through several collapsed buildings before sinking deep into the ground, creating a large wave of dust ripples. Dust rose and filled the air as Bullet's eyes gleamed with madness. Without any unnecessary words, his legs stomped heavily on the ground, and his figure vanished instantly. His speed was unbelievably fast, showcasing the superhuman level of a lunatic who once slaughtered an entire country's army.
In the next moment, Bullet appeared at Darren's landing point. Seeing the looming figure in the dust, he swung his fist ferociously. Having fought on battlefields since childhood and experienced many life and death crises, Bullet understood a key principle: there is no need to hold back on the battlefield. Extra nonsense is foolish. If you want to kill someone, do it directly—giving the enemy time to breathe and prepare is like digging your own grave.
"Hahahaha!! Die, Marine!!" he shouted. Suddenly, the sound of the ground tearing reached Bullet's ears. Bullet's expression changed slightly as the red glow perceived by Observation Haki flashed in his pupils. He hastily changed his moves. Boom!
The ground in front of him tore apart suddenly, and a crimson color symbolizing hell and destruction quickly magnified in Bullet's pupils. Splashed magma rose from the cracks in the ground, and a figure leaped out like a magma beast escaping its cage, its fist wrapped in terrifyingly high-temperature magma, blasting out with fierce light.
In the next second, Bullet's fist, covered with Haki, collides with the fiery lava fist in mid-air! There was a dull crashing sound. The purple Armament Haki and crimson magma gas arc formed a colliding cyclone, pressing the ground under their feet to collapse and melt. The surging air waves and ripples swept in all directions, rolling up countless sand, gravel, scrap iron, and various sundries.
The stalemate lasted only a second. Accompanied by a loud bang, the two groaned at the same time. The figure bathed in the magma blasted a large piece of magma, Bullet swayed and retreated quickly in response. Boom boom boom... His footsteps stomped heavily on the ground, and the ground collapsed under his impact, leaving deep pits.
"Here comes a stronger one..." Bursts of burning sensation came from the fist, and the black gloves were already scorched. Bullet squinted his eyes, and the violent red light surged in the depths of his pupils as he eagerly licked his chapped lips. The thousands of degrees of high-temperature magma have an inexplicable burning and penetrating power, and his own Armament Haki was unable to completely defend against it. "It seems that this time we can finally have a good fight." He stared fixedly at the two figures in the dust and cracked the knuckles of his fist. He laughed wantonly. "It's really embarrassing..."
The wind blew away the dust, and Darren slowly stepped out of a shocking pit, bleeding from his right arm. Bullet's strength is indeed too strong, perhaps comparable to himself in terms of pure physique, strength, and physical skills, but his Armament Haki strength has caused obvious suppression to himself. "The department's intelligence calculations are wrong. Leaving aside the destructive power of Devil Fruit, this guy's melee combat power is estimated to have surpassed Byrnndi Waldo." A low, cold voice sounded slowly.
The bubbling, boiling magma quickly gathered on the ground, forming a tall figure. Red magma slid down from Sakazuki's tough cheeks like sweat drops, the red faded to a snow-white cloak, and black smoke billowed from the surface of his body. Darren wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grinned, and said, "That's right." He once fought one-on-one with Byrnndi Waldo. Although he had the fire support of the North Blue fleet, it was considered a fluke factor.
But Sakazuki is right. If it is close combat, Douglas Bullet, who grew up on the battlefield since childhood, is indeed better than Byrnndi Waldo. In fact, Byrnndi Waldo was so feared by the Marine and even included in the ranks of legendary pirates largely because of the destructive power of his Momo fruit. However, after the confrontation just now, although he was suppressed by Haki, Darren also roughly detected the level of Bullet's combat power.
At least at this current time, Bullet, who has not yet joined the Roger Pirates and is only 15 years old, has definitely not reached the level of being on an equal footing with Pluton Rayleigh! The terrifying level of strength rumored by later generations is estimated to be largely achieved by Roger giving him "feeding moves" and his continuous "sit-ups" when Bullet failed to challenge Roger many times. From this point of view, perhaps Roger is also a very good "teacher." And now, the Bullet...
Is it infinitely close to Admiral level strength? Darren spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and a ferocious smile gradually formed at the corner of his mouth. He can fight!
