Chapter 163: Devil's Heir, Douglas Bullet!

New World, Circle Island.

This island is very peculiar, not because of the climate, nor because of the culture, but because of the shape of the island, which is a standard circle.

At the harbor pier, a burly figure stepped off a cargo ship. The captain of the ship watched as the figure disappeared into the harbor, then heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Finally, I sent that monster away..."

"We are still alive!?" A sailor said as if he just survived a catastrophe.

That's right, the one who just left this cargo ship is the devil's heir, Douglas Bullet.

Currently, Bullet's reputation is far worse than most pirates.

Because this individual is prone to carrying out devastating massacres at every turn, and the number of people who have died directly and indirectly at his hands must be more than a hundred or two hundred thousand.

This kind of evil party, even if they're placed among pirates, is extremely cruel and tyrannical.

Because of this, he has a strong deterrent effect on the general public. He Initially forced himself to board their boat, the captain felt they were doomed at that moment.

He didn't expect... to survive?

"Boss, shall we rest now?" asked one of the sailors.

The Captain of the ship slapped the sailor on the head suddenly and said: "Have you lived enough? That guy may go berserk at any time and slaughter the entire island. Now we know that he is on this island, but we still want to rest here? Let's get out of here quickly!"

"Boss, should we inform the Marines? They're supposedly searching everywhere for his whereabouts. Having that information could at least earn us a profit!" suggested one of the ten sailors.

The ship captain was tempted for a moment, but ultimately shook his head and said: "No, we should not get involved in these matters, and if Marine find out that Bullet has been sailing with us for more than half a month, I'm afraid we will also be under strict scrutiny...then we will lose more."

When the other sailors heard it, they seemed to think the same thing.

In this way, soon, the cargo ship left the circle island.

Douglas Bullet, towering over three meters in height like a standard admiral, possesses a burly figure that resembles a walking wall as he strides down the street.

His whole body is muscular, his shoulders are broad and his neck is thick. Just by looking at his appearance, he looks like a werewolf.

Moreover, his upper body was clad in a simple white two-layer vest, accentuating his robust muscles even further.

The lower body is clad in a pair of durable army green overalls, while his feet are encased in tough military boots.

In terms of personal temperament alone, he doesn't look like a notorious pirate. On the contrary, he has a very strong tough guy temperament, like an army captain.

In fact, Douglas Bullet was indeed born into the military. When he was young, he served as a young soldier in a country from the New World. From childhood to adulthood, he spent almost all his time on the battlefield.

Later, due to various reasons, he was betrayed, and then went out to sea, got mixed up on Roger's boat, and then left again. Until now, he has become a lone ranger.

After passing through the busy streets, he came to the central area of ​​the island. Here is a barren mountain forest, which has not yet been developed. Bullet carried his backpack and soon entered the barren mountain alone.

About two hours, Bullet appeared on the top of the barren mountain.

He found a relatively flat rock, and sat on it carelessly, looking at the sea in the distance from the cliff.

The sun was slowly sinking below the sea surface, and there was also a lot of clouds in the sky. From his position, the scenery is very beautiful.

Bullet's expression didn't change at all, and so did his eyes, staring blankly at the sea, like a stone carving on a cliff.

After a long time, he took out a large piece of compressed biscuit from his backpack, randomly stuffed it into his mouth, unscrewed the water bottle, and gulped down mouthfuls of water.

"The scenery here is unique...I can consider this place a lively graveyard," Bullet muttered to himself, wiping the water stains from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

In his memory, how many years has passed since his last visit to this place?

But just like today, on this island, at this very spot, even this flat stone hadn't changed much.

Back then, he had also sat here in a daze, unsure of what he should do next.

While staring blankly at the surface of the sea, that man also came here, he seemed to be idle and bored, looking at the scenery, right?

His name was Roger, Gol D Roger.

As if seeing the loneliness and confusion in him, he invited him to go to sea with him.

So far, Bullet still doesn't know what he had been thinking at the beginning. Maybe he was genuinely confused, or perhaps he had nothing better to do and just wanted to have some fun.

Anyway, he accepted Roger's invitation.

Since then, the Roger Pirates had one more devil's heir.

"When did I start adoring him?" Bullet asked himself as he took another bite of the hard compressed biscuit.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his body, and he thought for a while, but couldn't come up with an answer.

As if unconsciously, he has already regarded Roger as his goal, as his object of worship .

He was strong, confident, and optimistic.

He had a firm goal, a definite ideal, unwavering, and the ability to accomplish his goal till the end.

These are qualities that Bullet admires.

"In the end, I'm still no match for you, Roger..." Bullet murmured softly.

In this sea, he felt an overwhelming sense of confusion. Unlike Roger, the thing he was most unlike was that, from the beginning to the end, he, Douglas Bullet, didn't know what he wanted.

He was in the sea, but he didn't find his own answer.

That's right, Bullet at this stage is very confused, until he was caught by the Marines and imprisoned in Impel Down, where he stayed for nearly 20 years. During this period, he gradually set his own goal, to become the strongest beyond Roger!

But Roger is dead, so how can he win against a dead man?

Bullet made a plan for himself, that is to kill all the strong people in the sea.

What Marine Admiral, Fleet Admiral, Yonko, Shichibukai, Supernova, all of them must be killed! (Bullet is a timetraveler). 

Only by killing all these strong people can his reputation resound throughout the world and completely surpass the dead Roger!

That was the conclusion he came to after nearly twenty years in prison.

But now Bullet doesn't have these thoughts, he just thinks that in this sea, without Roger, it's too boring.

In the past two years, he had tried many things, but none of them could attract his interest. This made Bullet understand that the sea without Roger really meant nothing to him.

Therefore, Bullet, who had no goal and was full of confusion, began to run wild at sea.

He destroys and ravages everywhere, venting his desire for destruction.

Until not long ago, he was completely tired of the sea, so he attacked Marine's Jadenzburg base and slaughtered all the Marines in Jadenzburg.

The reason for doing such a thing is that Bullet wants to give his life a vigorous ending.

He is not an idiot, he naturally knows that he will definitely anger the Marines this time!

The Marines will do everything in their power to deal with him.

What he wants is such a result: Circle Island. This is the place where he and Roger met for the first time. Like a circle, in the end, he hopes to return here, on this island, to end his fate.

This island is his final resting place he chose for himself.

Taking another bite of the compressed biscuit, chewing the crumbs in his mouth, Bullet looked at the sun that had completely sunk under the sea, and said softly: "Come on... Marines."

Coming down from the port and walking all the way to the barren mountain area, Bullet found dozens of people who seemed to have noticed his existence.

Even if only half of the people here dare to provoke trouble, Marine and other forces will get information about his appearance on the Circle Island in the first instance.

So, the next step is just wait.

Waiting for the warships to surround the island, waiting for the Marine to find him.

Then... he will have a hearty fight and say goodbye to this sea.

Just as Bullet expected, information about his whereabouts had spread out at an extremely fast speed.

G-1 Marine Base, Doflamingo hadn't even finished his meal when suddenly the transponder snail he was carrying rang.

Under the watchful eyes of Sengoku and others, Doflamingo answered the transponder snail very calmly: "What's the matter?"

"Young master, according to our latest information, Douglas Bullet is currently on Circle Island!" Senor quickly reported.

Doflamingo frowned, and said softly, "Are you sure?"

"Very sure!" Senor responded immediately.

"I see." Doflamingo smiled, hung up the transponder snail, and looked at Admiral Sengoku and the others.

Doflamingo didn't hide anything from his conversation just now, so everyone at the table naturally heard it.

Now, then, is the time to test the Marines decisiveness.

Sengoku stared fixedly at Doflamingo, and Doflamingo had a calm smile at this time.

The eyes of the two met, and after a while, Sengoku slammed the table and said, "Everyone, gather around. Let's start the mission immediately. Head to Circle Island!"

Sakazuki frowned... There is no definite information from their Marine side, is it really necessary to trust Doflamingo?

But he also knew that at such a time, every second was crucial, and Bullet might leave there at any moment.

Therefore, Sakazuki didn't raise any objections and immediately got up, ready to board the warship and set sail.

Seeing Sengoku's decisive action and judgment, Doflamingo was also deeply moved.

Sengoku may have suffered a few times in his hands, but he still has a firm character.

You can't be complacent because you once had an advantage. Once you underestimate this guy, you will most likely be defeated by the iron fist of justice.
