In the command hall of the headquarters of the Other Worlds Strategic Committee.
Coulson looked at the virtual screens that had turned white again and muttered to himself with a solemn expression: "This is the third one. Although it is not clear how many of these things the Empire has, it has been confirmed that this weapon can be mass-produced."
The other chairmen were also thoughtful.
The facts prove that the Empire's ballistic missiles were effective in killing generals. If the Empire had too many of these, it would be a serious problem.
If the Empire were to become desperate and launch further attacks on Bullet and Kaido, the World Government could lose a second general and a candidate for general.
"Hehe, I doubt they have many of those though. Otherwise, why send hundreds of thousands of troops? They could have just directly bombed the two combat divisions led by Bullet." Fernandez commented in a calm voice.
"You may be right." Bulwer Gabriel replied. "But if they've used two of these missiles in a row, they probably still have more left, so we need to be cautious."
Just then, Vice Chairman Hobson Samuel slammed the table and sighed. "It's a shame that Merraid doesn't know how many of these ballistic missiles the Empire has, nor their production capacity. If she had known, she would have really been of great service!"
Coulson shook his head and replied: "According to Merraid, his position in the Empire was similar to that of a CP9 or CP0 captain on our side, so it's normal that he doesn't have access to the highest level secrets."
Vice Chairman Maren Wilfred raised doubts. "Didn't they say that Kuzan had captured an admiral of the Empire's navy?"
"Forget about it. She was taken by a Heavenly Dragon." Fernandez replied, glancing at Maren.
Hearing this, Maren's face suddenly changed, and she waved her hand quickly. "Forget it, I didn't say anything!"
Meanwhile, the multiple virtual screens began to restore their image.
...
Teigu World, North of the Imperial capital, battlefield with the World Government.
The storm clouds that Budo had created had dissipated under the impact of the explosions.
And in the sky there was a colossal fire dragon.
He was like a living sun, bringing light and warmth to the whole place.
At that moment, Bullet noticed something. With a powerful momentum, he shattered the ground beneath him, emerging as a black bolt of lightning that soared into the sky.
As Bullet approached the Fire Dragon Great Torch that embodied Kaido, he noticed that the huge dragon was damaged and was fading away at high speed. In addition, the Blue Dragon's true body had burns all over its skin, and a flow of purple electricity was crackling on its body.
Kaido could barely stay conscious.
Fortunately, he was still alive.
But for now, Kaido was in no condition to continue fighting.
"Bu... Bullet." Kaido muttered weakly, looking at Bullet, who had caught him.
He had returned to his human form, and if it hadn't been for Bullet, he would have plummeted to the ground.
"Stop talking nonsense, go back to the back and sleep, I'll handle the next thing myself!"
Bullet snorted expressionlessly, and did not say any unpleasant sarcastic words.
Just flew to the nearest flying warship with Kaido in his arms.
Bullet knew that Kaido had suffered that attack in his place.
Those two Empire ballistic missiles were aimed at Bullet. If it weren't for Kaido intervening, he would have been the target.
This completely enraged Bullet. Even while flying, his eyes were flashing with a red light.
Returning to the battlefield, Bullet saw that neither Budo, nor Leone, nor even Bulat's corpse were there.
The remaining troops of the Empire also retreated in combat towards the defensive lines.
"They better have two, three, or even more ballistic missiles." Bullet muttered, crouching down and placing both hands on the cracked ground.
His Clank-Clank Fruit began to operate at full power, releasing a purple and black substance that spread out in all directions.
Any inanimate object was absorbed, concentrating and fusing into a gigantic form around Bullet.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the World Government were madly fleeing to the periphery
It was not long before a giant figure, composed of earth and rocks, a thousand meters high, rose up in the center of a crater several kilometers in diameter.
Without hesitation, Bullet covered his rock arms with Busoshoku Haki.
"Ultimate Faust!!"
He roared angrily as his gigantic fist came crashing down towards the Imperial Army camp.
[Boom!]
The moment Douglas Bullet slammed his fist into the ground, everything seemed to collapse: the earth trembled, and a fierce storm swept through the area.
Immediately, the defensive line that the empire had taken so long to build was shattered.
Fragments of earth and rock shot into the sky, creating a huge wave of dust that covered the horizon.
In that instant, tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers and countless Danger Beasts turned into a mixture of flesh and blood, buried under tons of earth.
"This isn't over!" Bullet roared.
His anger did not seem to calm down with a single blow.
With a roar, he launched a second punch at what remained of the Imperial army camp.
[Boom!]
The area exploded into pieces, throwing huge fragments of rock and earth in all directions.
"Aaaaaaargh!" The thousand-meter monster formed by Bullet retracted its arm, raised its head towards the sky, and let out a primal roar.
With just two blows, he had managed to destroy the empire's army of 600,000 soldiers.
What Bullet didn't know was that the echo of his roar and the destruction caused by his two attacks had caught the attention of the most powerful beings that existed in that world.
...
In the west, in the capital of the Alchemy Kingdom, in the office of the director of the Academy of Truth...
A grey-haired man, who appeared to be in his forties or fifties, dressed in a dark red academic gown with intricate gold embroidery, was calmly examining some documents on his desk.
Suddenly he raised his head towards the east window, with an expression of astonishment, muttering to himself: "What a powerful presence... Is it possible that some Super Class is enraged? No... this aura seems strange to me..."
[Knock, Knock, Knock!]
At that moment, someone knocked urgently on the door.
"Please come in."
The door was flung open, and a young man dressed in a white robe decorated with violet-blue patterns walked in, his face reflecting intense fury.
"Master Isaac, news has arrived from the Partas region. Professor Mustang has been killed in battle, and Professor Tucker is wounded."
"Fortunately, Professor Tucker escaped back to the main camp smoothly and received treatment from the bio-alchemist in time. Now he is fine."
"According to Professor Tucker, the first line of defense has been overcome. He and the remaining troops have barely managed to slow the advance thanks to the difficult topography of Partas."
The young man summarized the situation clearly and quickly, then left two reports on the desk.
"Here is Professor Tucker's report on the enemy's abilities. And the other is a report from the empire about a type of energy called Haki and a supernatural ability known as Devil Fruit."
"Roy Mustang... I didn't expect the Flame Alchemist to be able to..."
"Wait a minute, Taylor." Isaac said, his face serious, before he began to review the reports.
As he read, he understood more and more about the power system of that mysterious world government.
"So that was it... It seems that Professor Mustang died due to that Haki ability."
Isaac instantly sensed the immense danger that Haki posed to alchemists, as it could resist alchemical attacks and even predict them.
"Master, I want to go to Partas!" Taylor said with a firm and angry expression. "I will teach those invaders an unforgettable lesson."
Isaac looked up at his young disciple, who at twenty-four years old had already reached the level of an advanced alchemist.
"Tell me, Taylor, if you were to face a Haki user, how would you fight him?" Isaac asked in a serious tone.
"I would keep my distance and exhaust his strength and energy using alchemy." Taylor replied before continuing: "I believe that any supernatural power must obey the laws of equivalent exchange and conservation of energy."
"Also, the empire mentions that Haki comes from a person's spiritual strength."
"I could use alchemical lightning that also contains spiritual force to wear down my enemy. Our energy comes from the earth and the Gate of Truth. The opponent would not be able to surpass me."
Isaac looked at him, pondering before asking again: "What if he attacks you at close range? Have you considered the consequences of an alchemist of your level being so close to a warrior immune to alchemy?"
