The Hellhound, with wings on its back, flapped them violently, stirring up a gust of wind, its head ablaze with burning flames, and soon it flew to land beside Bullet.
Abel's eyes gleamed with cunning, and he said proudly, "Sorry, Bullet, I couldn't help but use my ability."
Bullet glared angrily at Abel, clenched his fists, and strode towards the towering, tightly shut city gate.
A row of cannons lined the city wall. The Kingdom Army Captain watched Bullet approaching, his face panicked, and he frantically ordered his subordinates to light the fuses and fire.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Flames spewed from the muzzles, and dark cannons shot out, covering Bullet in a barrage.
Bullet looked up, his eyes seemingly dancing with fire. He lifted his foot and delivered a powerful kick, and a massive crescent slash whistled out, tearing through the air, precisely cutting most of the incoming cannonballs in half, causing them to explode into fiery black smoke in the sky.
At the same time, Bullet lunged forward, charging towards the city gate. Haki coiled and hardened around his fist, striking the city gate like a giant iron hammer!
With a deafening boom, the half-foot-thick iron plating on the city gate instantly caved in. The massive gate frame's bearings on both sides loosened, and cracks spread from the gate frame to the city wall.
The entire city wall trembled violently.
Then Bullet delivered another powerful punch, and with a clang, the meter-thick city gate was violently smashed outwards, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Through the thick smoke and dust, Bullet walked in, head held high and chest puffed out.
Looking at the thousands of stunned kingdom soldiers, he curved his lips into a chilling smile: "Abel, none of you interfere. These people are mine to deal with!"
That day, Bullet single-handedly fought against thousands of well-equipped kingdom soldiers.
Watching Bullet's fierce battle on the field, Abel vaguely saw a blood-mist-like killing intent emanating from around Bullet!
Bullet stood on a pile of hundreds of corpses, his uniform tattered, bathed in a rain of blood. He glared ferociously at the dust-covered kingdom soldiers below, like a demon.
"That guy's gaze just now, even I felt a chill..."
Roya, who was overseeing the battle from afar, looked shocked.
Soon, Bullet tore through a small kingdom, shocking the New World with his demonic appearance and formidable combat power. His bounty soared, reaching 150 million Berries at the age of 12.
The expeditions of Bullet and Abel attracted countless attention, even Roger was stunned by the two when he saw the newspaper.
On the Oro Jackson, Roger, wearing a wine-red leather cape over a dark shirt, looked at the newspaper Rayleigh handed him and exclaimed, "Child soldiers, huh? The Beasts Pirates' brats have really been causing a stir lately..."
The forty-four-year-old Roger had a square face, with a thick beard densely packed under his nose, appearing to extend from his nostrils in a faint crescent shape.
A wide sash was wrapped around his waist, from which a gun holster and scabbard hung.
Gaban sat on the ship's stairs, holding a green wine bottle in his left hand, his face serious: "It hasn't been many years since the Rocks Pirates disbanded, and the apprentice brat Kaido has successively taken down John, Wang Zhi, and Gan Zhui. Even Black Arm Zephyr died by his hand. In terms of power on the Grand Line, he can already be compared to Golden Lion Shiki."
The gunner Pitam walked over, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes: "The chaotic situation in this sea has just stabilized quite a bit. I hope the young people now don't plunge this world into turmoil again."
Pitam wore a hat, was short and stout, and looked at the horizon with a sigh.
"Forget about any world upheaval, let's have a feast!"
Roger was nonchalant; he only enjoyed adventure and unraveling historical mysteries.
Let the Marine handle world peace; he was just a pirate, not some world-saving hero. He only wanted to roam freely across this sea.
If it weren't for his early conflict with Rocks, where he was defeated by Rocks and it became his obsession.
And with multiple forces involved in the God Valley Incident, tying up Rocks' Admirals, he wouldn't have had the chance to reach Rocks, confront him directly, and settle years of grievances.
If Rocks' plan had succeeded, and he had allied with Harald, the king of the giant kingdom Elbaf, and his Admirals had worked together, there might truly have been a possibility of overthrowing the World Government.
However, everything was just a possibility.
Rocks ultimately failed.
He failed because of human nature, and he failed because of himself.
Rayleigh and the other crew members looked at their Captain and couldn't help but let out a low chuckle: "Idiot Captain!"
...Winter Island.
Kaido summoned Bullet and Abel in the palace and threw two pairs of shackles in front of them.
"These are Sea Stone handcuffs mixed with impurities, forged by Queen, Judge, and the others."
In his previous life, the Sea Stone handcuffs mixed with impurities were crafted by master artisans in Wano Country, but Queen and Judge were top scientists in the world. After some research, they were also able to incorporate some impurities into them:
"When training on the island, if you need to, you can wear the Sea Stone handcuffs yourselves. This will allow you to adapt to the weakening sensation caused by Sea Stone and unleash your potential. For easy removal, the button is on the protrusion on the surface of the handcuff."
The Sea Stone handcuffs had a very low Sea Stone content. As long as one gradually adapted to the weakening sensation caused by the Sea Stone impurities, one could still utilize their physical techniques.
Of course, it wouldn't be at full stamina.
More than a year had passed since Abel was rescued from Punk Hazard. Hanafuda had been operating in the Underworld and had found three more Zoan Type Devil Fruits.
The Pteranodon Fruit, the Brachiosaurus Fruit, and the Six-Eyed Sand Spider Fruit.
Bullet and Abel took the handcuffs, and an uncomfortable feeling of weakness came over them, as if touching something that stung their skin, their bodies instinctively rejecting it.
Kaido gulped down several mouthfuls of sake and said with a laugh, "Recently, you, Roya, and the others will be arranged by the team led by Binjack to participate in wars, to continue honing your strength and accumulating power."
Bullet nodded. He had no racial talent, but he had good combat talent and physical fitness, and he also wanted to cultivate an Adamantine body like Kaido's.
After the two left, Kaido then let Wald in.
Before Wald even entered the main hall, his loud laughter could be heard from afar.
"Haha, Kaido, I've recruited a few more good subordinates recently!"
Wald was pulling two chains, and at the end of the chains were two burly men.
The burly man on the left had fluffy pink hair and sharp teeth.
The burly man on the right had a long, narrow face, a large nose, and long, light yellow hair.
"Wald, let go of me! I'm not your subordinate!" The pink-haired man glared fiercely at Wald.
Wald sneered, "Squard, since you lost to me, you're my subordinate now. What's wrong, brat? This sea isn't some pirate's game of make-believe!"
