[Pirate 1: Look! That Bullet isn't defeated! He's getting back up!]
[Pirate 2: What?!]
[Pirate 3: What's so surprising about that? That Bullet is, after all, a legendary pirate. How could he be defeated so easily?]
Seeing Bullet stand up again in the video, everyone's attention was drawn back to the sky screen.
〖A figure suddenly appeared in the pervading smoke.
With a series of heavy thud-thud-thud-thud footsteps, Douglas Bullet reappeared before everyone.
However, after the previous struggle with the Supernovas, his military uniform was already torn, revealing a body covered in scars.
"You brats aren't bad. But if this is all you've got, it's still far from enough."
As he spoke, he tore off the already tattered clothes on his body.
"Whether it's training, strategy, or resolve, it's all insufficient. Now, let me show you what true strength looks like the power achieved through utter dedication, a realm you cannot reach yet."
Bullet smiled mockingly and charged at the Supernovas.
Luffy and the others only saw a flash before their eyes, and Bullet's figure vanished.
By the time Bullet reappeared, he was already in front of Luffy, punching him away with a single blow.
Seeing this, Kid was furious. "You bastard! What's the point of all this grandstanding?! What exactly is your goal?"
But Bullet only spoke calmly. "My goal, of course, is to become the strongest in the world. You brats have decent expressions. Don't die so easily."
"What did you say?!"
"Damn bastard! Don't get so cocky!"
Hearing Bullet's words made the Supernovas even angrier.
Kid was the first to launch an attack. He used "Punk Gibson," and countless steel weapons around him gathered onto his body once more, transforming him into a steel demon several meters tall.
The two mechanical arms of the steel demon then closed in on Bullet from left and right.
Facing this onslaught, Bullet didn't dodge or avoid it. Instead, he spread his arms and directly blocked the steel arms of the demon.
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, Killer suddenly appeared, slashing at Bullet's head.
However, Bullet promptly armored his head with Armament Haki, so Killer's attack caused him no harm.
At that moment, Scratchmen Apoo and X Drake also unleashed their strongest attacks on Bullet, successfully leaving marks on him.
The next instant, Luffy, who had been sent flying earlier, was back in action. Countless fists pummeled every part of Bullet's body.
With a BOOM, the ground shook, and endless smoke filled the surroundings.〗
[Pirate 1: So cool! So cool! As expected of the Worst Generation! Truly amazing!]
[Pirate 2: I thought them defeating Bullet earlier was just a fluke, but it seems the Supernovas really are strong.]
[Golden Lion Shiki: Gya-ha-ha-ha-ha! Can't even finish off a bunch of brats, yet you still want to become the strongest in the world? What a huge joke!]
[Kaido of the Beasts: The title of 'Strongest in the World' isn't so easily claimed. This ocean isn't a place for you to run wild, Douglas Bullet, Uo-ro-ro-ro-ro!]
[Tobi Roppo Page One: That's right! Lord Kaido is the strongest in the world! If it were him, he would have already taken care of all these brats. He wouldn't have been beaten up like this by them.]
[Charlotte Perospero: Lick~ The coming era belongs to Mama~ Douglas Bullet, I suggest you just give up, lick~]
[Charlotte Mont-d'Or: Correct. Someone who can't even finish off a bunch of brats is no match for our Mama.]
[Pirate 3: So Bullet, acting all arrogant, only dares to talk tough to the Supernovas. If you have the guts, go challenge an Emperor one-on-one!]
[Pirate 4: Yeah! If you want to be the strongest, the Emperors are obstacles you must defeat! Only daring to pick on brats like Straw Hat is nothing special.]
[Douglas Bullet: Hmph! Just wait. On this ocean, everyone—these brats and the Emperors alike—will die by my fist.]
[Big Mom Charlotte Linlin: Mamamama~ So arrogant~ It's really unpleasant to watch~ I'll be waiting for your arrival in Totto Land~]
[Whitebeard Edward Newgate: Gurararara~ Bullet, I'll be waiting for you too. I'm quite curious to see how exactly you plan to defeat me.]
[Kaido of the Beasts: The enemy I acknowledge isn't you, Douglas Bullet. Your arrogance is quite troublesome. I originally found you interesting and thought about letting you live a bit longer. Since you're asking for death, I can only oblige, Uo-ro-ro-ro-ro!]
[Red-Haired Shanks: I'd also like to see if the current me can defeat you, who once fought evenly with Vice-Captain Rayleigh.]
[Douglas Bullet: Then just wait. I will come for your lives sooner or later. But for now, watch how I deal with these brats first.]
As soon as Bullet finished speaking, a startling change occurred to him in the video.
〖An astonishing aura erupted violently, dispersing the surrounding smoke.
Intense, dark blue Haki manifested around Bullet's body, as if he had donned a suit of armor.〗
[Pirate 1: Wh-what is that? Bullet looks like he's turned into a demon!]
[Dark King Rayleigh: That's Bullet's Demon Form. In the past, only Captain Roger could suppress Bullet in this form.]
[Pirate 2: Is that true? Then aren't the Supernovas in danger?]
〖After entering his Demon Form, Bullet faced Kid, who was still in his Punk Gibson form. Kid reached out again, trying to grab him.
Unfortunately, he grabbed empty air. Bullet flashed and appeared right in front of Kid, throwing an extremely ordinary punch at him.
Yet, it was this ordinary punch that blasted a huge hole through the body of the steel demon.
The next punch completely shattered the dozens-of-meters-tall steel giant.
Bullet then charged towards a worried Killer, smashing him into the ground as well.
After dealing with those two, Bullet charged at the remaining Supernovas.
In just over ten minutes, all the Supernovas were defeated, and Bullet laughed heartily.
"Hahahahaha! See that? This is the strength of the man who will become the Pirate King!"
Just then, Luffy, who had been defeated, suddenly leapt up again. He raised his fist, once more coating it with Armament Haki.
"If you want to become the Pirate King too, then I will never admit defeat! I'm the man who will become the Pirate King! Gear Fourth: Snake Man!"〗
