It was getting late, but Bullet still didn't move, just sat on the rock, looking at the sea.
At the same time, the crowd on the port has become sparse.
Sengoku was slightly relieved when the last civilian was taken aboard the refuge ship.
"Hey, that's not fair!!!" a few bastards cursed at the port.
"That's right, we are also Civilians of Circle Island!"
"Why don't you let us aboard!?"
"Damn Marine, isn't your job to protect us?"
"Get out of the way, I want to get on the refuge ship too!!!"
Not just these few gangsters, in fact, hundreds of people in entirety of Circle Island were stopped and they were not allowed to board the refuge boat.
It's just that those people are now hiding in dark corners, watching these gangsters.
Just as this group of gangsters were bluffing, the Marines who was blocking them quickly dispersed from behind.
Seeing this, these people shouted even more arrogantly: "That's right, why didn't you just let us aboard earlier? You're wasting everyone's time here!"
"Next time, open way for me!"
Just when these gangsters were about to go in, a tall and strong Marine Officer wearing a Vice Admiral cloak and wearing a dark red suit walked over.
"Vice Admiral Sakazuki!" A Marine colonel saluted hastily, then continued, "These individuals didn't pass the screening... Based on our intelligence gathered from Circle Island and previous identifications of the locals..."
"There's no need to say more." Sakazuki raised his hand calmly, and then said: "Is it within the scope of the Buster Call?"
"Yes." The colonel swallowed and responded immediately.
At this moment, despite being intimidated by Sakazuki's imposing physique, the leading gangster mustered up his courage. With his younger brothers watching, he strode up to Sakazuki with even more aggression than when he approached the normal soldiers. He pushed Sakazuki's stomach and exclaimed, "Who do you think you are Sakazuki?"
There is some truth in saying that good people are bullied by others.
Precisely because Marine represents justice, so occasionally they really meet that kind of person who wants to die.
Because Marines who perceive themselves as righteous they don't dare act with impunity towards civilians, so certain civilians will exploit their fear of reprisal.
These bastards, when facing Marine, dare to "strike hard", but if they meet pirates, even the weakest group of pirates, they will be trembling like quails.
Sakazuki is not a good-tempered person, despite being pushed by his stomach by the bastard, his burly figure did not move at all.
Glancing down, Sakazuki seized the man's head in his palm, showing no inclination to engage in conversation with these troublemakers.
"Ah...damn it, that hurts..." the gangster shouted in pain.
But in the next moment, violent and hot magma spewed out from Sakazuki's palm, and with a bang, the gangster who was still yelling and cursing just now was ignited... No, he was not only ignited, it would be correct to say that we burnt into a crisp.
The clothes covering his body were reduced to ashes in an instant, along with his flesh and blood, leaving behind a pair of charred bones, which clung to the hot magma. Sakazuki pinched the skull, holding it in his hands.
Then, under the shocking and terrified gazes of the remaining gangsters, Sakazuki squeezed his hands suddenly, crushing the man's skull into pieces and throwing it on the ground.
"Hmph..." Sakazuki snorted coldly, and walked over the burnt corpse.
The gangsters who were still shouting looked at the vicious Sakazuki, shouted in horror, and quickly fled the area, returning to the deserted town.
Sakazuki didn't even look at them, and walked a few steps into the empty port square, standing with his arms crossed, waiting for something.
At that moment, aboard the warship, Admiral Sengoku, overseeing the Buster Call operation, remained fixated on the barren mountain at the island's center. His gaze lingered on Douglas Bullet, who sat unmoving at the cliff's edge.
"Admiral, the refuge ship has left!" A Marine colonel quickly ran behind Admiral Sengoku to report.
Admiral Sengoku nodded silently, and then took out the golden den den Mushi from his coat pocket.
Under the somewhat nervous gaze of the colonel behind him, Admiral Sengoku pressed the golden transponder snail decisively.
In the next second, a piercing scream sounded from the golden transponder snail.
At the same time, Sakazuki, Kuzan, Borsalino, Garp, and Gion all responded to the Buster Call signal.
Garp stood under the mast of his dog-headed warship, and said in a deep voice, "Fire!"
The moment his voice fell, not only the dog-headed warship, but also the ten warships surrounding the entire Circle Island, launched the first round of shelling in unison!
In Sakazuki's vicinity, the once bustling town was now devoid of life, the sky above almost obscured by a dense barrage of ammunition in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterward, the bombardment rained down on the town, with violent explosions and roars echoing incessantly. Solid houses and churches were obliterated, flames began to spread and engulf everything in their path, and the force of the gunpowder smoke and explosions tore the earth asunder.
After the Buster Call is over there will be no more Circle Island recorded on the Sea.
The bombardment from the warship gradually enveloped the island, starting with the shore and the harbor, then extending to the town near the sea, and continuing to the inland areas.
Finally, the artillery fire reached the barren hill at the center of the Great Circle Island.
The dense shells finally reached the cliff and covered Douglas Bullet's figure.
Then, a violent explosion erupted from where Douglas Bullet was.
Gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the sea breeze blew past, forming black smoke and spreading.
At this moment, a figure jumped out of the black smoke!
There is no doubt that the figure is Douglas Bullet!
At the exact moment when Bullet moved, Sakazuki, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, couldn't hold back anymore.
Magma erupted from under his feet, and his sturdy figure, like a rocket, took off from where he was standing.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Sakazuki's tall figure collided with Bullet's burly figure in midair!
"Magma Hound!!!" Sakazuki didn't exchange pleasantries; he immediately unleashed a ferocious attack, hurling a searing mass of magma toward Bullet's head.
"Huh!" Bullet didn't change expressions, his thick arm was covered by his powerful Armament Haki in an instant, and he punched Sakazuki's Magma Hound with a strong punch!
With a bang, the magma and Haki exploded in the air, and the violent airflow instantly wiped out the black smoke surrounding them!
At this moment, a golden light burst out from a warship.
Bullet's punch connected with Sakazuki's Magma Hound, but he swiftly shifted his gaze to the side, sensing another imminent threat.
Sure enough, as the golden light materialized beside Bullet, Borsalino's figure emerged from the particles, executing a downward kick towards Bullet's head with an inverted hook stance.
Bullet's other arm jerked up and caught Borsalino's kick with a thud.
But at this moment, he couldn't muster any strength while in the air anymore, even thought he blocked Borsalino's kick, he was smashed towards the ground.
"Ice Ball!" Kuzan, at that moment, acted as if he had rehearsed the move countless times, executing it with the utmost precision.
Bullet frowned tightly, trying to adjust his stance, but he didn't have time at all, almost in the blink of an eye, a gust of freezing air swept over his body, and then, his whole body turned into ice!
"One Sword style · Sakura Eagle!!!"
A soft shout came, and a pink figure flashed past the ice cube melted by Douglas Bullet with a fierce slash.
Immediately afterwards, Douglas Bullet's chest was slashed open, blood bursting forth from the wound. A sword gash, cutting deep to the bone, stretched from his left shoulder to his right abdomen.
Sure enough, even though Douglas Bullet was very strong, the Marines were good at combining their attacks. With the cooperation of Sakazuki and the other four strong players, Bullet was dealt a heavy blow at the very beginning!
But Bullet didn't cry out in pain. It was as if the sword had not hit him at all, and he didn't even seem to feel the pain. His strong Armament Haki had completely covered his upper body.
Both feet fell to the ground, shattering the ground. Bullet stretched out his arms, as if he was about to make a move.
But it was also at this moment that another strong body appeared above him!
It was Garp!
Garp's fist was also condensed with extremely strong Haki, and he punched towards Bullet!
"Galaxy impact!!!" Garp yelled.
The ferocious attack enveloped Bullet and the surrounding space of more than 100 meters almost in an instant.
This is not Garp's limit. Under normal circumstances, Garp's blow can completely cover towns and even islands.
But it was unnecessary at this time, so he reduced his attack range and increased the strength of his attack!
Black lightning burst out from the crater, and even though Bullet had already covered his body in Haki, he still felt great pressure.
In the next instant, with him as the center, the ground within 100 meters suddenly sank, and a deep hole was blasted out of the air by Garp's punch.
In a cabin of one of the warships, Doflamingo watched the scene with a coffee cup in his hand and a smile on his lips.
This set of combos may seem simple, but it's actually terrifying. Each step is executed with precision, appearing almost random. However, this apparent randomness makes it highly unpredictable and devastating. Anyone caught in its path would face significant consequences.
At this moment, Doflamingo put himself in Bullet's shoes and analyzed the situation. He concluded that, had it been him in Bullet's position, he would likely have suffered the same fate, being bombarded into the ground.
