Chapter 3
Roger has always been a concern for Bullet!
At the age of 15, Bullet, who was wandering the seas, encountered Roger and challenged him, only to be defeated. He continued to challenge Roger multiple times but was defeated every time.
Experiencing consecutive losses for the first time, Bullet decided to join Roger's pirate crew and kept challenging him, but all ended in failure. Bullet swore, "I will defeat you one day and become the strongest in the world."
At that time, only Roger in the entire pirate crew could surpass him. Even the vice-captain Rayleigh could only fight him evenly.
However, two years later, Bullet learned that Roger was terminally ill, which greatly shocked him. He gradually became anxious and lost, worried that he wouldn't be able to fulfill his oath!
When Bullet was 21 years old, after leaving Roger's pirate crew, he learned that Roger had been executed. He believed that he no longer had a chance to surpass Roger and lost his goal. Bullet began wreaking havoc on the seas, stirring up chaos.
The following year, the Marines issued a Demon Execution Order against him, with Kizaru and Fujitora mobilized. In the end, due to exhaustion, Bullet was defeated and captured by the Marines, ending up imprisoned on Level 6 of Impel Down.
Inside Impel Down, Bullet experienced pain and contemplation. He not only persisted in training for 20 years but also made a firm determination:
To become the world's strongest pirate, surpassing Roger!
To achieve this, he vowed to kill all the powerful individuals, including the Four Emperors and Admirals. Only then could he prove that he had surpassed Roger!
That's why at this moment, Jack had a way to deceive Bullet.
"Interesting, kid!"
"Are you that confident?"
A rough voice came from the cage.
Facing the questioning, Jack didn't answer but demonstrated it through action!
With a click, Jack opened the cage.
Jack thought Bullet would eagerly rush out of the cage and kneel before him, acknowledging his superiority. However, it didn't happen.
"Kid, what's your name?"
The cage was opened, but Bullet didn't immediately come out. He stood up and looked down at Jack.
In the dim candlelight, his sturdy figure was faintly visible!
Clearly, this was a show of dominance!
"Jack D. Blackwood"
"I believe in you and won't refuse my conditions!"
Do true strongmen always act like this?
Jack didn't back down. He took a step forward, locking eyes with Bullet!
Their gazes clashed, lasting a full 5 seconds!
"Jack? You've got guts!"
"I promise to cooperate with you!"
Bullet stepped forward and patted Jack's shoulder, laughing heartily, as if Jack were his subordinate.
Cooperate?
Aren't you supposed to be my crewmate?
Well, it doesn't matter now!
I'll subdue you after I finish downloading Haki!
Jack was momentarily surprised by Bullet's tone but quickly focused his attention on the system.
"System, download Conqueror's Haki!"
Immediately, the system responded.
[Ding]
[Conqueror's Haki downloading...]
[Time remaining: 2:59:59]
"Outstanding-level Conqueror's Haki. Just thinking about it makes me excited!"
Jack saw the system starting to download Bullet's Haki, and a smile appeared on his face.
...
Meanwhile...
A guard ran to Vice Warden Hannyabal in a hurry and exclaimed, "Vice Warden! There's been an escape from Level 6, Infinite Hell! Please give immediate orders for capture!"
"What?! Someone escaped from Level 6?"
"Who? Who escaped?"
Hannibal
was taken aback by the guard's words and asked tremblingly.
"I don't know! It's the user of the Float-Float Fruit! They have already released a Level 6 Impel Devil Spawn and are infiltrating the Fifth Level!"
The guard looked anxious.
"User of the Float-Float Fruit? Could it be... Golden Lion?!"
Hannyabal was completely dumbfounded.
Twenty years ago, Shiki the Golden Lion escaped from Impel Down, breaking both of Hannibal's legs and leaving a psychological scar.
This time, it's "Golden Lion" again!
And there's a Devil Spawn as well!
At this moment, Warden Magellan had already received orders from Marine Headquarters and was not in Impel Down while on the way to escort Buggy and Ace.
"Report, Vice Warden! It's not Golden Lion! Golden Lion died in the cell."
"The user of the Float-Float Fruit is a young man named Jack. He was imprisoned in the same cell as Golden Lion."
Seeing that Hannibal mistook the escapee for Golden Lion, the guard immediately explained.
"Not Golden Lion? Well, that's a relief!"
"But still, what's the difference?! And there's Bullet too!"
"What should we do? What should we do?"
Hannyabal was in a state of anxiety, pacing back and forth, unsure how to resolve this crisis.
"Vice Warden, should we consult Chief Warden Magellan? Should we release the former Chief Guard?"
Another guard suggested.
"Former Chief Guard? Shiryu?"
"That guy is ruthless and bloodthirsty, showing no mercy to anyone."
"But... it seems like there's no other choice."
"We can't waste any more time! Why ask for permission?"
After a moment of contemplation, Hannyabal made up his mind. He picked up the sword, which was confiscated when they imprisoned Shiryu, and quickly headed out!
...
Level 6, Eternal Hell.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jack and Bullet continued their relentless advance, creating a great commotion.
Somewhere on the 6th level.
Shiryu sat in his cell, watching the prison guards scramble around in chaos. He couldn't help but scoff.
"A bunch of trash!"
"It's true that without me, they're nothing!"
