Bullet had now completely broken free from the effects of the poison gas. He stood up, completely ignoring the fire burning on his body, muttering these two words. At this moment, his pursuit of power was stronger than ever.
Then, he walked out, ready to execute those child soldiers!
Bullet walked out of the burning house, his body covered in flames. For an eight-year-old boy, this should have been a terrifying sight, but Bullet saw this pain as his training!
What's more, everything he was suffering was because he didn't notice the danger coming. He was too careless, so he should suffer the pain of being burned by fire to punish himself.
And on the other hand, those who set the fire should be punished with death!
Bullet looked at the group of child soldiers who had passed out from his Conqueror's Haki, with not a trace of pity in his eyes. He directly stepped on their heads, turning them into a pile of minced meat!
After doing everything, all that was left was a pool of blood and faint flesh. Bullet was too lazy to wake up these little kids and torture them slowly, so at this moment he didn't even care about these trash.
He turned his head and looked in the direction that Makima had pointed at in the house before. At that time, she seemed to be using a gun, firing a shot into the distance.
And now, only outside could he see that from the direction her index finger was pointing, there was no destruction at all, but Bullet felt that something must have happened in that direction.
After killing all those child soldiers, he took back the medal and ran all the way in that direction.
He had just rushed back from this direction, so he knew very well who was there. That was the direction of Commander Douglas Gray, and the medal had been passed to Bullet by him from the top general.
After seeing Bullet's fighting power, he took great care of Bullet. Bullet used to be addicted to that kind of care as well, but now he had changed. He wanted to see what true power was.
Then, he spent a long time arriving at the military headquarters and saw the chaotic commander's camp.
"..."
Bullet pushed several people away and ran all the way to the center of the chaos. The place that used to be Gray's office was now being tightly sealed off by a team of soldiers. Bullet didn't care about these things at all. He pushed away all those who dared to stand in his way and directly entered the office.
Then, he saw his former superior, Douglas Gray, with his own eyes. He was still sitting in his seat, looking down with a dignified expression. However, he could no longer give any instructions.
Because there was a hole in his forehead, as if something had pierced his head.
"Bullet! You're crazy!"
At this time, exclamations came from outside. It was the people whom Bullet had pushed down before. They also knew about Bullet's existence and knew that he was a child who had made great contributions in this war. Although he was only eight years old, everyone knew that he would be the rising star of this country in the future.
However, at this time, Bullet only felt a burst of excitement in his heart and did not feel sad for his superior's death at all.
That woman...
Right now, only the woman's image was in his mind. From such a distant place, she had killed Douglas Gray in the core of the military camp with just a light touch?!
Is this the power she was talking about?
Just by saying to discard the shackles of the last name 'Douglas' for himself, she easily killed a country's military leader?
Makima possessed such power. She could even shoot people from the air all the way out of Earth and into the universe, as long as others were lower than her, and whether it was in terms of strength or status, Gray was far lower than Makima.
It was easy to control such a person.
And it was this ease that made a brand new concept rise in Bullet's heart. He was deeply intoxicated and obsessed with this power.
That's right, this is what he wants to chase. War and medals are just byproducts to stimulate power. Power is the ultimate goal!
"Let me see this country from a new perspective?" Bullet muttered to himself. "What things exist in this country that I couldn't see in the past?"
"Hey, Bullet, what are you talking about?" The guards who had rushed over couldn't help but feel strange at Bullet's performance. They suddenly pointed their guns at Bullet and said, "Do you know something? Did you betray Commander Gray?!"
"I'm just breaking free from this place." The young Bullet showed a terrifying smile. He turned around, letting others see his expression.
"I'm leaving the army and seeing a world I couldn't see in the past." Bullet took a step forward. This step stimulated the nerves of the guards, and they shouted,
"Don't move! Douglas Bullet, you are involved in the murder of the commander! If you resist, we will shoot you on the spot!" They were shocked to see that Bullet was leaving the army.
If someone as strong as Bullet left the army and became the strength of another country, wouldn't they be done for when he grew up?
So no matter what, they couldn't let Bullet leave!
"Trash!" Bullet's eight-year-old body was the height of a normal adult. His body was still covered with burn marks, and even his clothes were ragged.
And what he was now going to fight against was an increasing number of soldiers who had rushed over after hearing the news. They wore uniform military uniforms and held long guns and cannons. A group of well-equipped soldiers against an eight-year-old boy, this was originally a battle without any suspense...
However...
"Annihilation..."
After who knows how long, Garp arrived at this ruin and saw the military camp with fires and corpses everywhere.
The Marine had arrived in this country to investigate matters related to demons.
With the authority of the Marine headquarters, they requested the cooperation of this World Government member country. However, shortly after arriving, they received a notice from the king.
It said that all the soldiers here had suddenly been eliminated...
Garp believed that this might be related to demons, so he brought the Marine here.
At this moment, amidst the countless rubble, Garp walked to the center. Looking around, everyone in the military camp had been killed. The king's description was not at all false.
"Was this... done by a demon?"
Garp frowned and thought.
