14.1 Battle!
Kimimaro undid his upper clothes slowly and nodded, "Indeed, Roger's Pirate, Douglas Bullet."
The mysterious man who had just arrived was the infamous Demon's Heir, Douglas Bullet!
Once a member of Galzforce of Galzburg island at New World, the perpetual war molded him into a battle maniac. Seeking thrill and excitement within the battle to strengthen himself. Later, he joined Roger's Pirate for a while, after repeated defeat at the hand of the infamous Gol D, Roger, he vowed to train and strengthen himself before he challenged Roger once more only to find out the latter had been captured and executed.
Douglas Bullet was a very large and muscular man with wide broad shoulders and his hair was slicked back into a cowlick. He also had several tattoos on his left arm.
His military attire was the thing that set him apart from the usual pirates, showing his neat personality and discipline.
"Interesting, you survived my punch?" Bullet laughed out loud seeing Kimimaro was fine with only a small bruise left on his cheek.
"Be careful, his Haoshoku(Color of Conqueror) Haki still hasn't matured yet, but it could interfere with your sense," Kimimaro warned Enel as he looked straight at Bullet.
Enel nodded and asked, "How do we deal with him?"
Slowly, Kimimaro let out a dense swathe of bones from within his body, covering his entire body from head to toe, his face was now covered with a neatly arranged bone mask with only slits on his eye socket for him to see.
"As usual Enel, you from the back, and I'm at the front.."
Kimimaro now has a white body armor made out of bones, it looks exquisite with vertical lines complimenting his figure.
"Kahahaha, armor? What kind of devil fruit did you eat?" Bullet's interest suddenly roused.
"Tessenka no Mai: Kahen(Dance of Clematis: Petals)."
Kimimaro wasn't in the mood to exchange words with Bullet, he decided to go all out from the beginning as he knew, dealing with Demon's Heir Douglas Bullet would spell doom if he didn't take it seriously.
Covered himself with Busoshoku(Color of Armament) Haki, Kimimaro kicked the ground and launched himself towards Bullet.
His knuckles had small bones jutting out of his armor as he swung it towards Bullet.
Bullet grinned widely as he felt the other party's Busoshoku(Color of Armament) Haki was at the same level or even higher than him.
Bullet doesn't have any thought to avoid Kimimaro's charge, At the same time Kimimaro's fist arrived, he too threw his fist against each other to gauge their strength difference!
*BOOOOM!
An explosion of Haki occurred as both fists met each other, Bullet felt his feet had gotten pushed back after the single exchange, Laughing wildly Bullet threw another fist which Kimimaro swiftly avoided towards his side which was wide open.
Not wasting any time, Kimimaro threw a powerful uppercut at Bullet's jaw from the sides.
Bullet was taken off guard! Sensing the incoming attack, he gathered his Haki towards his jaw quickly.
*BANG!
Kimimaro's uppercut sent him flying in an instant, However, it didn't end there, Kimimaro lowered his head slightly, and from his back neck, there was a bone sprouting out from it. With swift movement, Kimimaro took a long spinal column out of his body!
"Tessenka no Mai: Tsuru(Dance of Clematis: Vine)!"
Kimimaro swiped his spinal column upwards like a whip, aiming at Bullet who was still airborne. The cartilage between the individual vertebrae makes the spine flexible for use as a whip, and the cartilage can be stretched further to increase the whip's range.
Kimimaro also modified its vertebrae to have spikes, making it easier for them to hook into Bullet.
Bullet who got caught off guard, felt his body couldn't move after being wrapped by a spinal column. with his immense battle experience, he felt danger all of a sudden! So, He decided to cover himself with Busoshoku(Color of Armament) Haki Completely. And suddenly,
"El Thor!"
