Chapter 76: Descendant of the Devil? The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind!
Impel Down — Level 6, Eternal Hell
BOOOOOOM!
A deafening explosion rocked the deepest level.
Domino's heart nearly stopped. She thought Rok had caused it, but one look at his amused expression told her otherwise.
Someone who had already escaped… came back.
"Domino, careful!"
Rok suddenly shouted and tackled her to the ground.
KABOOOM!
The reinforced cell wall exploded inward, showering them with debris.
If Rok hadn't shoved her aside, she'd have been crushed.
"Who the hell is making noise?! I don't need weaklings judging me!"
A mountain of a man stepped through the smoking hole.
Muscles like steel cables, eyes burning with madness.
"Douglas Bullet — Descendant of the Devil!"
Domino's jaw dropped, voice trembling.
The man just crowned history's worst jailbreaker.
Former crewmate of the Pirate King Roger.
A monster who trained every second of his decades in this prison.
Strength beyond comprehension.
He had escaped — why the hell was he back?!
"Domino, leave. I'll handle this."
Rok stepped in front of her.
Something was off about Bullet — he looked like he was begging to get wrecked.
He didn't want Domino caught in the crossfire.
"Rok, this isn't a normal opponent… and your injuries—"
Domino was worried.
According to Shalria, Rok had been captured because he was exhausted and wounded.
Plus Magellan's poison.
No way he could fight Bullet like this.
"Hahaha! Rok?!"
"So you're the Douglas D. Rok who killed Celestial Dragons and nearly destroyed Marineford?!"
"Pfft. Are all the real monsters dead? A scrawny brat like you is the one making waves?!"
Bullet had been excited at first — a worthy opponent!
Then he remembered: Rok got caught and thrown in Impel Down.
Instant buzzkill.
All those rumors — speed rivaling Kizaru? Pure bullshit.
What a letdown.
"Hey, arrogance has a price, Douglas Bullet."
"You're strong, sure — but you still rotted in here for decades."
"What exactly are you proud of?"
Rok didn't hold back.
This was Impel Down. Destroying the place only added to his bounty.
Bullet's veins bulged.
He had just broken out. Decades of rage still boiled inside.
And now this kid was mocking him?
BOOM!
Bullet threw his hand forward.
A monstrous wave of Armament Haki surged like a tsunami toward Rok and Domino.
Even Rok inwardly whistled.
That Haki was dense.
His own was strong, but Bullet's was on another level.
Terrifying.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Rok didn't clash head-on.
He used Geppo (Moon Step) to dodge, keeping Domino safe.
He wasn't scared.
He just didn't need to fight yet.
Magellan was coming.
This was Impel Down's home turf.
Let the two monsters wear each other out.
Then clean up.
Perfect.
"You damn criminal! You dare come back?!"
"Poison Dragon!!"
Right on cue.
Magellan arrived with the full guard force.
A gigantic venomous dragon roared toward Bullet.
Even Bullet had to pause his assault and retreat a step.
"Hmph. Magellan, you'd be smarter pretending you didn't see me."
"Or do those horns still hurt?"
Bullet sneered.
Magellan was strong — but still recovering from having his horns ripped off by Bullet himself.
"DOUGLAS BULLET!!!"
"You came back? Then prepare to die!"
Magellan was shaking with rage.
He blamed himself for the mass breakout.
He lived now only to atone.
And Bullet just delivered himself.
"Domino, watch Rok. He's poisoned, but stay cautious."
Magellan glanced at the "weak-looking" Rok in the corner and warned.
Domino nodded and stood protectively in front of him.
But… something was off.
A minute ago, Rok looked fine.
Now he seemed… sluggish?
"How long do you think Magellan lasts, Domino?"
Rok asked lazily from behind her, sipping spicy wine.
The fight between Magellan and Bullet was about to erupt.
And Rok?
He was just enjoying the show.
The oriole watching two tigers fight.
