19 Bullet vs. Roger
Mine and Bullet's Conqerors haki continued to clash.
But that only lasted for about a minute before Bullet's overpowered mine.
Though it comes as no suprise.
Bullet has had access to his Conquerors haki longer than me.
Still the fact that I awakened mine and managed to use it to go against his for a minute at my current level of strength is a win in my book.
After Bullet's Conquerors haki drowned out my own, he stopped using his. Giving me a pointed look as he did so.
"What's wrong, are you scared now?" I asked him.
"Don't make me laugh." Bullet said. "Though I will admit, that was unexpected and a bit impressive." He said. "Maybe you aren't such a pathetic weakling after all."
"Why thank you, I try." I told him.
"Still, you're nowhere near strong enough to beat me." Bullet said.
He then got ready to rush at me again, but when he did so he looked to my side and put a grin on his face.
Turning I saw why.
Roger, Rayleigh, and the others had returned.
"Finally, you've arrived." Bullet said. Looking directly at Roger as he did so. "Now the real battle can finally begin!" He shouted with glee.
"Sorry, but what's going on here?" Roger asked.
"Ah captain please help us!" Buggy cried. "This guy just charged on board the ship and started beating up everyone demanding for you." He quickly explained.
"I see." Roger mused. He then looked at Bullet. "Tell me young man, why did you attack my crew and why are you looking for me?"
"I heard that you're strong Roger." Bullet said. "So I came to see if its true. Fight me." He said.
"Captain screw this kid." Spencer said.
"Yeah." Mugren added. "He just barges onto our ships, attacks our crewmates, and now demands a fight with you. We should give him nothing."
Several other crew members voiced their anger at Bullet as well.
Until Roger held up his hand, silencing them.
"Enough boys. I have made my decision." Roger said. A smirk on his face as he did so. "Tell me boy, what is your name?" He asked Bullet.
"They call me Douglass Bullet." He spoke.
"Well then Bullet, if it's a fight you want then its a fight you'll get." Roger told him.
The crew wanted to protest, but one look from Rayleigh caused them all to keep their mouths shut.
Roger has made his decision, and since he is our captain is is final.
No matter how we all may feel about it.
I'm fine with it by the way.
Since I know Bullet will join the crew after getting his ass handed to him.
Which is perfect, since that will give me the chance to convince him to join my pirate crew once the Roger Pirates disband.
Bullet will make the perfect shipwright, and he's basically a one-man army.
Sailing the seas with him will certainly never be boring.
All I need to do is figure out how to convince him.
Things are getting more interesting by the day.
Hearing Roger agree to fight him Bullet put a smile on his face.
"Excellent." Bullet said. "Let's not waste any time."
Roger nodded.
Once he did so the rest of us quickly moved back and gave the two some space on the deck of the Oro Jackson.
Right after we did so Bullet kicked things off.
Appearing in front of Roger he threw an armament haki coated fist toward his face.
Leaning Roger dodged the punch and then delivered a kick into Bullet's gut, sending him sailing across the deck and into the side of the ship.
Quickly standing up Bullet started moving around Roger, leaving afterimages as he did so.
Until eventually he stopped and appeared right behind Roger.
Throwing a punch towards his back as soon as he did so.
Quickly turning around Roger brought up his left arm and blocked Bullet's punch.
Despite this he skidded back on the deck a bit.
"Yes, give me more!" Bullet shouted.
Coating his fists in armament haki he closed the distance to Roger and started hammering his body with punch after punch, like a machine gun Bullet didn't let up.
"Captain Roger!" Buggy cried.
"Quiet Buggy." Rayleigh said. Slapping him upside the head. "Don't talk or you'll miss it."
As soon as Rayleigh said that the battle turned.
Roger took a step back and then delivered a kick to Bullet's gut.
Sending him flying into the side of the ship again.
Just like before Bullet got back up. He then charged at Roger again and started throwing punches, but unlike a moment ago Bullet's attacks aren't landing at all.
Even as Bullet increased his speed Roger continued dodging.
Actually looking at Roger it seems almost like he's dodging before the punches are thrown...!
Of course, Roger is using future sight Obersvation haki.
The original work never mentioned Roger having such an ability, but if Luffy and Kaido can have it then it stands to reason Roger can as well.
A grin on his face Roger continued dodging Bullet's punches.
Then when a tiny opening appeared Roger coated his left fist in armament haki and planted it straight into Bullets face.
Which is a satisfying sight to look at.
Taking the punch straight on Bullet sailed into the deck once more.
Yet just like the other times he got back up. "Not done. I'm nowhere near done!" He shouted. "Once you stop moving your dead, and I am not going to die!" Bullet screamed.
He charged at Roger while still doing so.
Reaching him Bullet planted both fist into Rogers body, but the captain didn't even budge.
Most likely due to a combination of armament haki and infusion.
As Bullet continued driving his fist into Roger's body, black lightning bolts started appearing in the air.
"Go down!" Bullet shouted.
But Roger didn't and still continued smiling.
"You are strong son." Roger told Bullet. "I enjoyed this fight, but its time to end things here." He said.
As soon as Roger said that he suckered punch Bullet in the jaw.
Some blood coming out of his mouth Bullet crashed into the deck, the light in his eyes gone.
Letting everyone know he was down for the count.
"Yeah, nice job captain!" Buggy cheered.
"As expected Roger." Rayleigh said.
Yes, just like one would expect from Roger.
He truly is amazing.
-------------------------------------
A/N: Ok so once again the MC is an apprentice on Roger's crew. He isn't having his own adventure's yet. Rather right now he's tagging along on Roger's adventures. Following his journey first-hand.
But when Roger dies that will all change.
However that's not to say the MC won't have some developments.
But not many major ones will take place until the apprenticeship arc is over.
So until then suck it up or don't read the fan fiction.
All I have to say.
