All the distant viewers tremble in despair at Bullet's terrifying presence!
It's beyond their imagination to conceive Bullet, a figure akin to a monstrous entity.
How could the Straw Hats possibly overcome such a foe?
Even though Luffy has risen to the status of the Fifth Emperor of the Sea, defeating a formidable opponent like Katakuri, his strength still pales in comparison to that of a Yonko!
But judging solely from Bullet's formidable reputation... his might undeniably rivals that of the Yonko!
Many believe that this time, Luffy is bound to face an unprecedented defeat!
Even figures like Garp, Shanks, and Whitebeard, who have always stood by and believed in Luffy, harbor less optimism about this battle.
Among them...
Shanks engaging in battle against the Big Mom Pirates.
His demeanor is grave, for no one understands better than him the monstrous nature of Bullet.
Even if he himself possesses formidable strength, even as one of the Four Emperors.
None dare claim with certainty that they can best Bullet.
Compared to all others, Bullet is an absolute terror!
A person relentlessly driven by the pursuit of power, with combat prowess that is nothing short of legendary!
Meanwhile, Big Mom, Kaido, Akainu, Doflamingo, Moria, and others revel in delight!
They all hold grudges against Luffy and wish for his demise!
It's feared that Luffy will be utterly crushed when facing Bullet!
Simultaneously, in the Water 7!
As the sky divulges all about Bullet.
Naturally, Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Robin, and the rest catch wind of it.
Upon learning that Bullet was once a crewmate of Roger, the former Pirate King, and possessed such immense power!
Usopp and Chopper let out cries of disbelief, while Nami's expression turns to one of horror!
Even Robin, Sanji, Zoro, and the others, typically composed, wear expressions of extreme concern!
"Unable to even execute through the Buster Call?"
"And Luffy's grandfather, alongside the Marine Admiral, had to join forces to capture him?"
"This man's combat prowess is utterly terrifying, isn't it?..."
"Can we truly hope to defeat him?"
"Appalling. A presence on par with a Yonko; how could we possibly contend with him?"
Everyone is left feeling as though they're trapped within a surreal nightmare.
They all fretted over Bullet, this monstrous opponent.
Yet Luffy, unfazed, gazed at the sky with exhilaration.
"Wow!"
"The former crewmates of Roger were truly something!"
"I can't fathom just how mighty such an individual can be!"
"After besting him, I'll surely draw closer to the Pirate King's whereabouts!"
Simultaneously, the live broadcast commenced!
[On the tranquil seas, a magnificent ceremony is on the brink, the Pirate World Expo!]
[A grand revelry solely for pirates, where many with bounties exceeding 100 million gather!]
[Countless pirates are drawn to this spectacle]
[Including nearly all supernovas, and even those on par with the Shichibukai!]
[For the prize of the Expo is none other than the secret treasure left by Roger, the One Piece!]
[However, it's common knowledge that this Expo is Bullet's clandestine scheme!]
[His aim: to goad the Navy into issuing the Buster Call!]
[This demonstrates his claim to be the strongest, impervious even to the Buster Call's grasp!]
[For it was under the Buster Call that his former self expended all his might, only to be vanquished and imprisoned in Impel Down City!]
[But now, having grown stronger, he shall not falter again!]
[Even the Navy and the Buster Call cannot best him]
[The Navy, upon receiving intel, naturally sets its sights on this event!]
[Yet none are privy to these machinations]
[As the Fifth Emperor of the Sea, Luffy naturally receives an invitation!]
[But just as everyone contemplates their next move]
[Bullet, you've arrived!]
[His arrival heralds an immensely potent and fearsome aura!]
[In an instant, the black Haki swept over the entire assembly, nearly rendering the weaker ones unconscious on the spot!]
[At this moment, Bullet seemed singularly supreme, the ruler of this domain!]
[His presence struck everyone to the core!]
[Crocodile, Hancock, Smoker, Luffy, Law, Zoro, Bege, and numerous other supernovas!]
[They beheld it as a conspiracy unfolding before them, recognizing the dread of Bullet!]
[Even before the battle commenced, the island quaked under his might, exuding an ominous Conqueror's Haki!]
[Countless fell weak on the spot in its presence!]
[How could such a monstrous force manifest here?]
[There exists but one path to emerge from this unscathed: to vanquish the Bullet before them.]
Boom!!!
Once again, spectators worldwide were left astounded!
Who would have foreseen Bullet taking the initiative to alert the Navy, demanding a Buster Call?
And for what? Simply to assert his supremacy!
The man is utterly unhinged!
Never before has anyone wielded a Buster Call as artillery to prove their might!
It's unheard of, shocking everyone despite prior glimpses into Bullet's horror!
But even with forewarning, the moment of his arrival still bore down with oppressive force...
Such a sensation could easily render one unconscious in his presence.
That terrifying, unyielding countenance epitomizes kingship.
How could one defeat such a titan?
And judging from his stance, it appears Bullet alone intends to face the multitude...
Luffy and the other supernovas, along with Hancock and Law, the two Warlords of the Sea, not to mention the Navy and myriad pirates!
Is this the confidence of Roger Pirates' crew?
Is this the dread associated with being hailed as the Demon Heir?
Many spectators found it ludicrous for him to contend with so many adversaries alone.
Yet, Bullet's formidable aura and strength instill belief.
It seems he may indeed emerge victorious from this lopsided battle!
Everyone stood in a stunned silence. In that moment, a singular thought dominated their minds—a pervasive feeling of intimidation emanating from the formidable figures of yore!
[Bullet's mere display left Law, who sought information, injured!]
[He effortlessly vanquished pirates across numerous islands with just one blow!]
[Even Usopp, attempting a stealthy theft of a treasure chest, found himself swiftly apprehended and punched, ending up injured...]
[Upon witnessing this spectacle, Luffy's fury ignited!]
[Disregarding all else, he charged headlong toward Bullet.]
