The stone giant stood between them, casting an immense shadow that delivered irresistible pressure.
Bullet's voice echoed from the giant's broad shoulders as he looked down contemptuously at the Supernova, his tone dripping with mockery.
"Kid, am I qualified enough now?"
Just as Kid prepared to retort, Killer swiftly clamped a hand on his shoulder.
Killer wore his signature helmet, masking his expression, but the low urgency in his voice carried a distinct trace of warning.
"Kid! Stop! That guy is the 'Devil's Heir,' Douglas Bullet! He's a Fusion-Fusion Fruit user who can manipulate all inorganic matter!"
Killer's voice echoed in Kid's ears, sending a chill down his spine.
He knew full well that Bullet's strength was legendary, and the Fusion Fruit's ability was especially fearsome.
A single misstep could plunge them into irreversible doom.
Kid's pupils abruptly contracted, a flicker of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
But soon after, a ferocious grin spread across his lips as an intense desire surged within him.
The Fusion Fruit?
If he could obtain this power via an enchantment, his magnetic manipulation would no longer be limited to metals—he could dominate all inorganic matter!
Just imagine the terrifying power he would wield then!
Whether solid rock, sharp blades, or massive structures—all would fall under his absolute control. His combat power would double instantly!
At this thought, his blood boiled with excitement.
That blazing battle intent seemed to ignite his very body, making him eager to clash with the formidable foe before him.
"Interesting!" Kid roared with maniacal laughter, his mechanical arm swinging violently. "Then I'll take that power for myself!"
In an instant, the entire island seemed to suffer an apocalyptic catastrophe.
Countless metal fragments surged like a raging storm, whistling and colliding, rapidly assembling and combining around him. In the blink of an eye, they formed a terrifyingly massive mechanical gauntlet.
"Let's see if my magnetism can crush your pathetic fusion!"
BOOM!!!
Bullet's colossal steel fist, like a towering mountain, carried boundless force as it slammed down with overwhelming momentum.
Meanwhile, the metallic torrent controlled by Kid instantly transformed into an equally enormous palm, charging forward to meet the attack.
The onlookers were utterly terrified—none had ever witnessed such a scene—and immediately fled even farther.
CRASH!
The moment the two forces collided, time seemed to freeze.
The very space twisted under the immense impact.
Shockwaves swept across the island like a raging tsunami, the ground cracking like fragile paper as deep fissures spread in all directions.
Buildings on the island toppled like toy blocks under this overwhelming power, dust billowing into the sky and blotting out the sun!
The violent tremors seemed to shake the entire world, evoking fear and awe in all who witnessed it.
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
Kid continued to laugh maniacally, his cackles piercing through the chaotic battlefield.
The metal fragments in his hands seemed to come alive, constantly reassembling and transforming.
At times, they morphed into massive cannons, firing searing energy beams; at others, they sharpened into deadly blades glinting with cold light; and finally, they coalesced into hardened iron fists, pummeling Bullet relentlessly!
"Die, old man!"
Yet, Bullet's fusion ability proved even more terrifyingly unimaginable.
He slowly spread his hands and plunged them into the ground. In an instant, rocks, soil, and even the debris of collapsed buildings seemed to be drawn by a mysterious gravity, surging from all directions.
Under Bullet's control, they merged together, gradually coalescing into an even larger, more terrifying entity!
His voice echoed through the air: "Kid, is that all the magnetic power you've got?"
The voice dripped with mockery and disdain, as if Kid were nothing more than an insignificant ant in his eyes.
Bullet let out a sinister laugh.
With his laughter, all inorganic matter on the island seemed to answer his call, surging and writhing wildly.
They twisted, intertwined, and fused together, ultimately coalescing into a colossal war machine that blotted out the sky.
Its massive form resembled a titan from mythology, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
"My Fusion Fruit... has already Awakened, hahahaha!"
Bullet's voice carried a hint of fanaticism—an absolute confidence and mastery over immense power.
"Impossible!" Kid's pupils contracted sharply.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the terrifying entity before him, looking as if it had emerged straight from hell.
Despite the shock in his heart, he refused to back down.
"Punk Rotten!"
Shards of metal spun rapidly around him, forming a tight and formidable defensive ring.
The storm-like barrier shimmered with dazzling light, appearing as an impenetrable shield.
Yet, Bullet's assault was too ferocious. His massive fist rose high once more before crashing down with the force of a thunderbolt.
This punch carried the power to obliterate heaven and earth, tearing through the very air in its path.
Kid's seemingly impenetrable defense instantly crumbled, like fragile bubbles shattering under the impact of a massive boulder.
SMASH!
"Cough!!!"
Kid was sent flying by the tremendous force, like a kite with its string cut, crashing violently into the ruins.
His body carved out a large crater in the debris, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and staining his clothes.
Amid the smoke and dust-filled ruins, Kid appeared rather disheveled.
His steps were unsteady, his body swaying involuntarily as he struggled to rise slowly from the chaotic pile of rubble.
The metal arm emitted a grating, ear-piercing screech under the intense impact it had just endured, parts of it falling away.
He slowly raised his hand, using his sleeve to gently wipe away the startling bloodstain at the corner of his mouth.
His crimson pupils burned with a furious resentment. The fierce glint in his eyes made it clear he would never admit defeat so easily.
"Can't beat you with my Devil Fruit ability..." Kid grinned, the curve of his lips sending a chill down one's spine as a sinister sneer spread across his face.
"Then let's try this!"
As his words fell, an invisible force began surging within him.
BOOM!!!
In an instant, a violent Conqueror's Haki erupted abruptly!
