16.1 Death
Right after Shiki had been dealt with, in the air, Zephyr swiped his vision across Marineford, making sure nothing more happened. In an instant, his eyes widened when he saw another battle ongoing at Marineford's back area!
"KONG!" Zephyr yelled as he used Geppo(Moonwalk) at maximum speed.
Kong heard Zephyr's voice and saw the latter rush out. Using his own Geppo(Moonwalk) Kong followed behind.
At the same time...
*KABOOM!
"ENEL!!!"
"Ya...haha...haha, It, hurts..." Enel spoke in difficulty, fresh blood flowing out of his mouth and trailing onto Bullet's hand who at some point choked his neck.
Slowly releasing his grip and letting Enel's body slumped to the ground, Bullet smiled sinisterly at lifeless Enel under his feet.
Earlier,
the battle between the trio resumed, Kimimaro and Bullet were instantly engaged in close combat, both their speed and power were extremely monstrous as the ordinary people could only see their afterimage flashing here and there.
Enel also threw several lightning strikes at Bullet to deal damage to him, all of a sudden, the situation changed as Bullet got a hold of Kimimaro's arm.
He threw Kimimaro towards Enel who was floating in midair, unbeknownst to the latter. Bullet followed closely behind Kimimaro and got closer to Enel.
Taking advantage of Enel's obstructed vision by Kimimaro's body, Bullet punched Kimimaro upwards and lunged abruptly toward Enel!
Normally, Enel with his Kenbunshoku(Color of Observation) Haki could perceive the danger in advance, and yet, Enel hadn't realized that Bullet in his serious state was constantly releasing Haoshoku(Color of Conqueror) Haki of his own.
Sure that Bullet still hasn't mastered his Haki to perfection, nevertheless, it was enough to hinder his opponent's observation ability.
While Kimimaro was airborne, Bullet stretched his hand-covered Haki to get a hold of Enel's neck!
"Kahahaha! Got you!" Bullet grinned.
"Damn! Let go!" Enel struggled hard in Bullet's choke!
*Boom!
Bullet kicked the air as he aimed the ground below completely with Enel struggling on his choke.
Covered with Busoshoku(Color of Armament) Haki, Enel couldn't use his lightning power to break free of Bullet's hand!
Enel tried to stab Bullet's abdomen several times with his trident, and yet, it was all futile! Enel mastery over Busoshoku(Color of Armament) was much inferior to Bullet.
Only sparks of metal clashing each other could be seen as his trident stabbed Bullet's body.
Sensing the ground coming closer behind his back, Enel grinned seemingly resigned to his fate!
*BOOM!
Bullet slammed Enel towards the ground from sky high! Dust and gravel flew everywhere.
Taking advantage of Kimimaro who was still in midair, Bullet raised Enel's battered body upwards by his neck.
"Yaha, haha...what now?" Enel asked weakly, his voice was barely audible.
Kimimaro adjusted his posture quickly in midair, he used Geppo(Moonwalk) as he launched himself towards Bullet below, he gritted his teeth as he saw Bullet pulling his other fist behind!
*BAM!
"...Kooohk!" Enel coughed a mouthful of blood from his mouth as Bullet's huge fist slammed at his chest!
*Spluurge..
Enel's blood sprayed onto Bullet's face making his looks much more menacing and dreadful along with his sinister grin.
"ENEL!!!" Kimimaro increased his speed as much as he could!
*BOOM!
In no time, Kimimaro arrived as he stretched both of his hands towards the spot where Bullet stood!
Bullet had already predicted this, thus he stepped away from the spot, leaving Kimimaro with long bones that looked like swords coming out of his palm struck at the ground!
"Kahahahaha! I'm the strongest!!!"
Not far from Kimimaro and the unconscious Enel, Bullet reappeared and threw his head back in loud laughter.
Ignoring Bullet, Kimimaro held Enel's neck and checked on his pulse, Bullet's earlier punch was aimed directly at Enel's heart! Enel's chest was caved in indicating how powerful Bullet's punch was.
