Chapter 211 : Bullet Defeated!

Everyone stood in disbelief.

Could they truly have defeated such a colossal puppet?

Every member present, from the Empress to Crocodile, Smoker, Sabo, and the others, had poured their hearts into this battle.

They had only managed to rid myself of Bullet's outer puppet, standing right before me.

But it was Usopp's earlier seed shots that had dealt the final blow to the medium-sized puppet!

Truly, Usopp's ingenuity knows no bounds!

Who could have foreseen such a development?

Initially, many had doubted the efficacy of Usopp's plant seeds, procured at great personal cost.

Yet, it became evident that these seeds required a substantial impact to detonate.

Usopp's unwavering faith in Luffy's power, his absolute trust, had led him to anticipate this outcome.

Truly, the bond forged between partners in the crucible of life and death is unparalleled!

Without Usopp's seeds, dismantling Bullet's puppet would have proven far more challenging.

With that ordeal behind them, attention turned to Bullet himself—the ultimate threat.

Despite his evident fatigue, his monstrous strength still loomed large, casting a shadow of despair.

Could Luffy truly emerge victorious against him?

["Fourth Gear Mode!"]

["Faced with Bullet's reversion to his true form, Luffy wasted no time activating Gear Fourth!"]

["He charged forward, engaging in a titanic struggle!"]

["Though Bullet had been assailed by all manner of attacks, even his Devil Fruit powers neutralized,"]

["His sheer strength remained a source of profound dread!"]

["In the heat of battle, he tapped into his Haki, entering a formidable state!"]

["His entire form ablaze with crimson, his might surged exponentially!"]

["A single blow from the augmented strength of Gear Fourth Luffy could send one reeling!"]

["Yet, despite Luffy's relentless assault,"]

["Bullet showed no signs of fear,"]

["Once more, he pressed his advantage against Luffy amidst the chaos..."]

The audience watched in awe as this terrifying power unfolded before them.

Bullet's might was truly incomprehensible.

Could anyone hope to best such an adversary?

Luffy and his comrades seemed to be facing insurmountable odds!

The weight of oppression was palpable, marking him as a true titan among titans!

[Bullet's strength may be underwhelming, but]

[But there's a turmoil in his heart, a turmoil about Roger!]

[In the midst of their clash, something Luffy said stirred up memories of Roger within Bullet.]

[In that moment, Bullet's focus wavered.]

[He found myself questioning, did he truly err?]

[And seizing this opening, Luffy burst forth once more, unleashing the Ape King's Hawk Cannon!]

[Bullet, defenseless and unresisting, bore the full brunt of the attack.]

[And just like that, Bullet crashed to the ground!]

[Defeated at last!]

Bullet's downfall defied all expectations!

It left spectators worldwide, as well as numerous heavyweights of the sea, utterly flabbergasted. Yet, what truly stunned them wasn't just this turn of events!

The live broadcast continued to roll:

[And in the end, it was Luffy who triumphed, securing the treasure chest containing clues to One Piece, Roger's elusive treasure!]

[As he opened it, all eyes were upon him once more.]

[Inside lay a compass, indicating the whereabouts of the final island!]

[Simply follow the path laid out, and you'll reach it, surpassing all obstacles.]

[At this, excitement surged through everyone!]

[For this is the treasure of every adventurer's dreams!]

[With it, Luffy could, if he so desired, uncover Roger's treasure at any time, even ascend to the title of Pirate King!]

[Yet, just as envy began to take root, some even contemplating thievery.]

[Crash!]

[Without hesitation, Luffy shattered the compass with a single blow of his palm.]

[The crowd was stunned by this act!]

[Reactions ranged from furious condemnation of his wastefulness to utter disbelief.]

[But Luffy remained resolute.]

["No, I'll become the Pirate King on my own terms, and I'll find Roger's treasure myself!"]

["I absolutely don't need any outside help, I will become the Pirate King on my own!"]

[As soon as these words were uttered, everyone was stunned.]

[Even the Empress, in that moment, found Luffy even more captivating!]

[For Luffy, the ultimate desire was never the title of Pirate King, but the camaraderie of his friends...]

[A day of boundless adventure on the sea!]

[Thus, he would never utilize that compass to seek out those treasures!]

[Luffy's declaration left everyone in awe, gazing at him with admiration!]

[At least, to each individual present, it seemed inconceivable for Luffy to be so resolute!]

[Bullet was vanquished by Luffy and once again apprehended by the navy!]

[And now, the navy's focus had shifted back onto Luffy and several other prominent pirates!]

[The hunt by the Buster Call was poised to resume!]

[Ultimately, with Sabo's aid and that of numerous pirates, Luffy and his comrades eluded the navy's pursuit yet again!]

[Sailing towards the sea of freedom!]

[Following this ordeal, the reputation of the Straw Hat Pirates]

[Was destined to resurface across the seas once more!!!]

As the live broadcast about Bullet concluded, viewers remained in a state of profound shock.

For quite some time, they couldn't shake off their astonishment!

Because all of this was truly astounding!

Whether it was Luffy's explosive victory over the behemoth Bullet... or his unwavering decision to shatter the compass leading to treasure.

It left everyone puzzled and stunned, elevating their perception of Luffy once more!

Though Luffy may often appear carefree, in critical moments, his clarity surpasses all others'.

And his vision extends far beyond. Such a person is not only a capable fighter but also a competent captain!

But what astonished everyone the most was Luffy's overwhelming strength, enabling him to directly defeat a formidable foe like Bullet!

It was unbelievable!

After all, compared to Katakuri, Bullet was leagues more powerful!

Despite assistance from onlookers in the defeat of Bullet,

The individual who made the greatest impact was undoubtedly Luffy!

Thus, the greatest accolade rightfully belonged to Luffy's strength, once again leaving countless individuals impressed!

Countless spectators, even the most seasoned sea veterans, were left in deep shock, unable to break free from its grip... and...
