"How... How could this happen?"
Bulat was extremely shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw that Neuntote's broken tip was stopped dead by a black cloak covering Bullet's temple.
"What the hell is this?" Meanwhile, Bullet completely ignored Bulat. Instead, he raised his fist and watched him intently. "There's no doubt... although it was weak, that woman's blow managed to pierce my Haki and my skin."
This discovery made Bullet interested in the other party, even slightly regretting using so much strength.
"With her level of injuries, she should... huh?"
Bullet looked in the direction where Leone had fallen and was surprised to find that the other party's right arm had completely recovered.
Looking at her face, which was quickly regaining color, and her movements as she stood up, it was evident that her internal injuries had also healed to a great extent.
At the same time, Bulat also reacted quickly. Despite his surprise, he tried to hide again, looking for an opportunity to escape with Leone.
However, Bullet was not willing to give him that chance, he spun around with speed and launched a powerful blow in the direction of the apparent void where Bulat was hiding.
[Boom!]
The brutal force of the attack threw Bulat about a hundred meters, before he fell heavily to the ground.
Bullet immediately noticed the traces of an impact in that seemingly empty spot, and, in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from his spot to reappear right above Bulat.
[Crash!]
Bullet mercilessly stomped on Bulat, who still remained invisible.
"Aaaahhh!" Bulat screamed, unable to bear the pain, he dropped his invisibility, as he desperately clung to Bullet's foot, trying to push him away with all his might.
"Even if you can turn invisible and hide your presence, your body is still here. And your biggest mistake was getting so close to me..." Bullet sneered at Bulat who was struggling wildly under his feet.
"Asshole, let the general go!!"
At that moment, Leone rushed to attack Bullet.
[Bang!]
Bullet simply raised his right hand to block her fist and in one swift motion, caught her hand, squeezing so hard that Leone couldn't pull her fist back, her expression changing as she realized she was trapped.
"Kahahaha! So that's it, your ability to make your attack pierce through my Haki comes from your Teigu, things in your world are really interesting!" Bullet looked at Leone in front of him and laughed. "But you're really strong, woman. Be my woman, I'll make you ten times stronger than you are now!"
"You're dreaming!" Leone responded, furious, unable to believe that this man dared to provoke her.
What she didn't know was that Bullet had actually taken her seriously, as it was the first time he had proposed something like that to a woman.
Meanwhile, the unconscious soldiers, once they had recovered, continued the frantic fight. However, they all carefully avoided coming within five hundred meters of Bullet.
The next moment, a golden lightning bolt pierced through the sky and fiercely struck Bullet's body.
This lightning bolt came so suddenly and fiercely, without any consideration for Leone who was being held back by Bullet.
"Aaaaah!"
Although Bullet seemed barely affected, Leone was not so lucky.
"Hmph!"
Bullet watched the scene with distaste and let out a snort. He immediately released his Busoshoku Haki, creating an invisible shield around them.
However, Leone had been severely injured by the lightning attack. Once Bullet released her, she fell to her knees on the ground.
"I'm still too late? What a shame." A cold, piercing voice echoed from above.
When everyone looked up, the sky had been completely covered by dense black clouds.
Budo was bathed in golden thunder and lightning, floating beneath the dark clouds.
From there, Budo looked at Bullet with a cold and hard expression, although, when his eyes fell on Bulat's inert body, a slight and almost imperceptible regret crossed his face.
"One of the pillars of the Empire has fallen."
Behind General Budo, hundreds of wyverns with knights on their backs were flying through the air. In addition, there were countless Flying Death, so many that they looked like a sea of birds in the sky.
Budo had brought with him almost the entire air force of the Empire.
"Invaders, you will pay the ultimate price for invading the Empire and for the death of General Bulat!"
"Advent of Thunder Emperor!"
With a shout full of fury, Budo raised his arms wrapped in electricity.
In the next instant, the sky was filled with lightning, before striking directly down upon the World Government soldiers.
At the same time, more than two thousand Flying Deaths swooped towards the World Government's fighter planes and flying warships.
Run led the remaining wyvern knights in a fierce aerial battle.
"You are too arrogant."
Bullet narrowed his eyes, watching the lightning crash into his Haki shield, and began to get angry.
"Huh?"
But just as Bullet was about to act and kill another general of the empire, he seemed to have discovered something and stopped his action, at the same time he was extremely dissatisfied.
"That damn bastard! He promised me that the key characters would be mine, but he didn't keep his word!"
At the same time, in the air, Budo was focused on directing the lightning storm at the invaders, not noticing the enormous shadow looming over him from behind.
A strong instinct of danger immediately paralyzed him, and his body tensed.
Without thinking, Budo surrounded himself with lightning without even turning to look.
In an instant, a brutal impact fell on his back.
[Boom!]
A burst of visible energy and purple lightning erupted, and Budo fell like a golden meteor onto the battlefield.
The Empire soldiers were shocked and gaped.
All eyes fell on Kaido who was wearing a blue cloak and was in his hybrid blue dragon form.
In various places on the vast battlefield, the morale of the World Government soldiers was greatly boosted by Kaido's appearance.
“Why does he have Haki?” Kaido looked in amazement at where Budo had fallen.
"Hey, Kaido!"
“Didn’t you agree with me that you wouldn’t act unless absolutely necessary?!” Bullet shouted angrily from the ground. Kaido just laughed shamelessly.
"Worororo~~!"
“Didn’t you see the chaos this guy has caused? I thought it was more than necessary! Besides, you have killed an enemy general. Your military exploits are enough for you to be promoted to general later. You should be satisfied!"
Days ago, when Kaido and his air troops arrived, Bullet had proposed a contest of brute force: both would face each other in a duel, and whoever lost would not be able to intervene in the battle, except in case of extreme necessity. They fought for a day and a night, until finally Bullet, against all odds, managed to expel Kaido from the dueling circle.
"Huh?"
As Kaido and Bullet spoke, Kaido sensed the launch of multiple missiles from the rear of the Imperial army.
In front of everyone's astonished gaze, Kaido began to transform. He went from his humanoid form to a dragon of almost three hundred meters.
The soldiers of the Empire began to lose their composure, terrified. Kaido’s figure reminded them of an ultra-class Danger Beast, the Eastern Clouds Dragon.
Kaido opened his massive mouth and exhaled a storm of sharp wind blades that intersected with the missiles, causing them to explode and creating a roar that drowned out all other sounds on the battlefield.
At the same time, the thunder in the clouds began to impact on the body of the huge dragon.
"Hehe~" Bullet glanced at Budo in the distance and sneered, but did not attack him.
Instead, he lowered his head to look at Leone, who had recovered and tried to escape.
"Woman, you are my prisoner now. You better stay here obediently, otherwise I will knock you unconscious."
"..." Leone's face froze.
As for the idea of fighting Bullet, she still had it before Budo appeared.
But since the lightning struck her mercilessly and was rescued by Bullet, her attitude towards the empire suddenly became complicated.
In the final analysis, she was not as loyal to the Empire as Najasho.
"Excuse me, was Najasho captured by you?"
"Huh?" Bullet raised his eyebrows and grinned. "Why, is that boy your lover?"
“What? No! It’s not that…” Leone hurriedly denied it, but her red cheeks made her words unconvincing. But at that moment, a dazzling white light covered the sky above them.
[Boom!!!!]
In the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield was engulfed in a blinding white light.
Bullet, wrapped in his Busoshoku Haki, protected Leone from the blast.
"Is it the Empire's Ballistic Missile again? It's enough to make Kaido suffer a great loss... Kahahaha!"
Bullet looked at the huge, ultra-high temperature plasma mass in the sky with a gloating look.
“Hmm?”
At that moment Bullet saw a conical warhead falling from the storm cloud, causing his pupils to suddenly shrink.
“Not good!”
The next second, the second ballistic missile instantly exploded, bursting into a second wave of extreme white light, swallowing the majestic Azure Dragon.
