As Bullet’s gaze turned toward her, Catarina Devon didn’t flinch in the slightest.
In fact, she only taunted him even harder.
"The hell you lookin’ at, you bastard?! You should’ve died a long time ago! You had the nerve to reject me?! Serves you right getting stabbed!"
"Even if you somehow survived, you’re just a damn weakling now! Didn’t this kid just say it?! Murunfufufu! Worthless trash!"
Devon’s words made Bullet’s face flush even redder.
Meanwhile, Vir’s long-silent system notification suddenly chimed again.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You’ve earned 300,000 negative points!]
And the amount was very substantial!
Looks like she really got under Bullet’s skin.
But... become an ordinary person?
Nah, that was a joke.
Hope you can handle the beating.
If you survive, I’ll respect you as a true warrior.
Her name’s Devon, right?
Honestly, if no one said anything, it’d be easy to mistake her—
mistake her for Usopp’s mom.
That long nose? It’s like they were carved from the same mold.
She’s ugly enough to scare a Sea King.
Can’t wait to see Barrett bash her head in.
No wonder a backstabbing lowlife like her joined Blackbeard’s crew.
Birds of a feather flock together.
At this point, Bullet had no energy left to pay attention to Devon.
He couldn’t hold back anymore.
Bullet was like a balloon pumped full of air—
Either it bursts, or it bursts!
As Vir delivered the final cut—
An overwhelming surge of pleasure erupted through Bullet’s entire body!
The bizarre sensations piled up, rising like a tidal wave—
And then, they all exploded out of his mouth!
Bullet’s jaw suddenly dropped open—
And from his throat came an ear-splitting, thunderous sound—
A sound that was unmistakably... a scream?!
A high-pitched, shrieking woman’s scream instantly drowned out all the jeering!
Like a sonar pulse, it reverberated through the entire prison in an instant.
Staring in disbelief at the source of the scream—still mid-outburst.
Even Vir was stunned.
A woman’s scream... from Bullet’s mouth?!
Do you have any idea how insane it is to hear that sound from a five-meter-tall, several-hundred-pound beast of a man?
Vir, being the closest, felt his eardrums nearly rupture.
Damn, this guy’s got some lungs on him.
That scream was masterful—
Perfectly hitting those high notes.
The surrounding spectators were completely dumbfounded.
Bro, what the hell was that?!
Did that mountain of a man just let out a girly shriek?!
"Someone call the guards! There’s a fake-voice psycho in here!"
"Bullet? A high-pitched screamer?! Oh hell no! This is even crazier than that guy cutting down Shiryu in one slash!"
"Mom! My ears are tainted now!"
"Ahhh~ So beautiful~ My ears are pregnant~"
"Dude, get the hell away from me!"
Shouts of shock erupted from all directions.
Even Redfield, who had been motionless until now, turned his head in surprise.
What in the world was that noise?
Did Bullet really just scream like that?!
The aged yet dignified noble’s face twisted in disbelief.
Crocodile was so stunned he staggered back, slamming into the wall behind him.
We’ve known each other for years.
I never knew you had this in you.
What kind of deranged sound was that?!
Absolutely ludicrous.
Jinbe, meanwhile, was starting to question whether the human species was the same one he’d known his entire life.
What... what even was that...?
Does everyone have some hidden side ?!
Jinbe’s expression was one of pure existential crisis.
And this was just Bullet.
If he ever heard Whitebeard—the man he idolized—let out a scream like that, his entire worldview might shatter.
The moment Bullet finished screaming—
His expression twisted violently.
Sure, he felt a little embarrassed.
What truly horrified him was the sudden, complete loss of his strength!
The moment he screamed—
His once-powerful body withered away in seconds, turning gaunt and emaciated!
His strength, his Haki, everything—
Vanished in that instant.
An overwhelming wave of negative energy radiated from Bullet’s body.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You’ve earned 680,000 negative points!]
The system’s voice chimed again.
Vir hadn’t expected this much.
Seems Bullet really went through hell just now.
With this, Vir no longer had to worry about failing to acquire the ability.
Now, all he had to do was heal Bullet quickly.
The ability was secured.
Flesh began rapidly regenerating over Bullet’s chest.
Soon, even as he lay flat on the ground, his torso was already covered in fresh tissue.
Vir didn’t need to make many cuts this time.
Because Bullet’s wounds were nowhere near as extensive as Shiki’s missing legs.
A few precise slashes—
The putty knife got to work, swiftly transferring the new flesh where it needed to go.
Bullet didn’t react at all during the process.
Soon, the gaps under his arms and along his ribs were fully patched.
His ears, too, were meticulously reconstructed under Vir’s godly craftsmanship.
This was the work of a master renovator.
With the final cut complete—
The treatment was officially over.
And the system’s reward arrived instantly.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have acquired the ability: Fusion!]
[Fusion: You possess the ability to fuse.]
The system’s voice faded, leaving Vir staring blankly at the interface.
Now the descriptions are going for minimalism?
"Fusion: You possess the ability to fuse."
Honestly, Vir was at a loss for words.
What kind of crap is this?
Would it kill you to elaborate a little?!
What the hell does that even mean?
Could he... actually fuse with people?
