[However, the outcome is glaringly evident!]
[Even though Luffy flared with anger as his comrades were knocked down,]
[Bullet paid him no heed and delivered a punch.]
[Luffy spewed forth a mouthful of blood, crashing to the ground!]
[This sight sent shockwaves through all present.]
[After all, Luffy, now hailed as the Fifth Emperor of the Sea, commands a staggering bounty of 1.5 billion.]
[His strength is unquestionable, arguably the mightiest among the people present!]
[Yet, Luffy, so formidable,]
[Was felled by Bullet's single blow?]
[How could this be!?]
["Truly feeble, you should all attack together!"]
[Bullet regarded everyone with a contemptuous grin.]
[In that instant, the Supernovas reached their breaking point.]
[Kid and Killer, Drake and Urouge, Hawkins and Apoo, and Bonney,]
[Yet, even with such a gathering of Supernovas, Bullet remained unfazed!]
[On the contrary, an even more ominous power surged forth!]
[Bullet teleported, appearing behind Kid and Killer with blinding speed.]
[Boom!!!]
[In one fell swoop, he seized each by the head, slamming them together!]
[The sheer force left them dazed, crumpling to the ground!]
[Simultaneously, Drake and Bonney charged forth...]
[Bullet struck once more, left hand landing on Drake, right on Urouge!]
[In a swift motion, he delivered another blow, sending Hawkins, who had activated his Devil Fruit ability, flying!]
["Bang bang bang!"]
[Seeing an opening, Apoo unleashed his Devil Fruit ability.]
[Countless explosions engulfed Bullet,]
[Yet, he paid them no mind, as if impervious to such blasts.]
[As Bullet dashed out with a menacing grin plastered on his face, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation.]
[BOOM!!!]
[Apoo found himself sprawled on the ground, unconscious, after a brutal blow from Bullet.]
[In that crucial moment, Boney seized the opportunity, darting beneath Bullet and delivering a swift kick.]
[She intended to employ her devil fruit powers to ensnare Bullet, but he remained vigilant, denying her any opening.]
[With a swift motion, he seized her by the ankles and hurled her aside....]
["Go to hell!!!"]
[Just then, Kidd and Luffy rose to their feet, launching their most formidable attacks.]
[One unleashed a lightning-fast barrage of punches, while the other manipulated a robotic arm with magnetic precision!]
[However...]
[Bullet, encircled by their onslaught, merely smirked disdainfully and exerted a fraction of his strength!]
[Rather than striking him, their attacks collided with each other, sending Luffy and Kidd reeling!]
[The force of impact sent them hurtling backwards once more.]
["Out of my way, and behold my might!!!"]
[As the supernovas lay defeated, Bege rose to his feet.]
[Confronted by Bullet's overwhelming power, he knew better than to offer excuses, opting instead to unleash his ultimate weapon!]
[Transforming into a colossal castle, he unleashed a relentless barrage of gunfire upon Bullet!]
[Yet... it proved futile!]
[Bullet effortlessly deflected the cannonballs with a mere gesture, emerging unscathed.]
[Then, with a single devastating punch, he shattered Bege's formidable fortress, reverting him to his true form.]
[Writhing in agony, Bege lay sprawled on the ground.]
[At this juncture, Bullet had vanquished nearly all the supernovas single-handedly, emerging unscathed from the confrontation.]
BOOM!!!
At this moment, the entire world stood in shock, eyes drawn upward to the sky in utter disbelief.
Bullet's strength was simply astounding!
He was akin to a demon among demons, effortlessly fending off a barrage of supernovas without breaking a sweat!
Consider this: Supernova may still be a fledgling in the world of pirates, yet each member possesses untapped potential and formidable combat prowess.
And here they were, a gathering of such supernovas!
Among them stood Luffy, boasting a bounty of 1.5 billion, yet even he was overpowered single-handedly by Bullet!
Such raw power was simply incomprehensible!
The Red-Haired Pirates!
The clash between Shanks and Big Mom had concluded. Both being Yonko, it was inevitable they couldn't engage in a full-fledged battle.
A substantial loss for either side!
Big Mom, wary of Shanks and his crew's might, begrudgingly abandoned her pursuit of Luffy. Witnessing her retreat, Shanks too led his crew in a strategic withdrawal...
All eyes remained fixated on the sky.
Then, in a breathtaking display, Bullet single-handedly incapacitated all the supernovas.
Crew members stood stupefied, while Shanks maintained his characteristic solemn expression.
"Long time no see, Bullet..."
"Grown stronger, I see."
"But this isn't even his full strength!"
Shanks' revelation left everyone dumbfounded once more!
To possess such might and yet hold back—unfathomable!
Shanks was well aware of Bullet's status as a Devil Fruit user.
And with his Devil Fruit abilities, he turned Orange Town into a place of utter terror!
"Dreadful, absolutely dreadful...," muttered the townsfolk, trembling with fear.
They were petrified by Bullet's formidable power.
In their eyes, confronting a fleet of 673 naval warships seemed preferable to facing such a monstrous opponent!
At this critical moment, Shanks' crewmates were all taken aback...
They were aware that their captain had once served as an apprentice aboard the Roger Pirates' ship.
Bullet, too, had been a member of the legendary Roger Pirates.
Despite Bullet's incredible strength, their captain stood as his equal!
This realization filled countless younger crewmates with admiration for Shanks.
Though Shanks himself felt a pang of fear, he managed to maintain a composed demeanor in front of his crewmates.
His countenance exuded an aura of mysterious power, earning him another round of reverence from his subordinates.
["Gear Fourth!"]
[Luffy rose to his feet once more, activating his Gear Fourth mode without hesitation.]
[He assumed the Snake-Man form, the very form that had defeated Katakuri in their first encounter!]
[However, before Luffy could charge forward, Bullet lunged at him, delivering a devastating punch.]
[The blow sent Luffy reverting back to his base form, forcibly relinquishing his Gear Fourth state!]
"Not bad, but still too weak!"
"Allow me to demonstrate true power!"
Bullet cackled ferociously, feigning the activation of his Devil Fruit ability!
Once again, everyone present was left stunned!
Despite his immense strength, Bullet was still a Devil Fruit user!?
