Bullet’s massive hand covered the prisoner’s face, cutting off his breath as the man struggled wildly beneath his grip. The grin on his face widened as he slowly tightened his hold.

Crack! Crack!

The sound of a skull giving way echoed out. His five fingers pressed in like drills, piercing through bone and sinking deeper.

Bang!!!

The front half of the prisoner’s head exploded. Flesh, bone fragments, and blood poured down from his hand. He casually rubbed his fingers together, grinding the remaining fragments into powder.

The corpse, with only half a head left, slumped against the bars. Grabbing it by the neck, Bullet yanked it out through the bars, crushing and tearing the body apart in the process. His Armament Haki burst outward, instantly shattering the remains into a cloud of blood.

"Hu..."

With the breath he exhaled, the thick smell of blood spread across the entire Level 6, and a savage grin appeared on his face.

"Do you want to live?"

The stench of blood stirred the prisoners’ instincts. Their ferocity rose as they all stared at him with strange expressions.

Boom!!!

Someone released Conqueror’s Haki first.

"Kill him!!!"

In an instant, every prisoner moved. They unleashed their strongest attacks and charged at him together.

Bullet’s entire body was coated in Armament Haki. He did not dodge. He let the attacks land on him while reaching out with both hands, grabbing two prisoners who were aiming for his head. Then he slammed their heads together.

Crack!

Their Haki-coated skulls did not explode like watermelons. Instead, under Bullet’s monstrous strength, their bones crushed inward with a series of wet cracking sounds. Their heads collapsed into fragments, and their lives ended instantly.

Bullet caught the two headless bodies before they hit the ground, then turned and hurled them toward the gate.

Bang! Bang!

The corpses, thrown with Haki, became like bombs. They smashed into nearby prisoners and blew apart several who were about to reach the exit.

The freed prisoners split into two groups. One group only wanted to escape, while the other, shocked by Bullet’s strength, chose to join forces and kill him before running.

Haki-infused attacks poured down like a storm, swallowing his figure, but they did not slow him at all.

Ignoring everything, Bullet bent down and picked up fragments of stone from the ground, then flicked them one by one toward the gate.

Bang!

Bang! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Bang!

Each stone sent a prisoner exploding into a cloud of blood under the amplified force. Even the iron gate was dyed a deep red.

Suddenly, a faint sound of air tearing came from behind.

Bullet did not turn his head. He simply swung a hand backward. With his speed enhanced by the power of More-More Fruit, it looked as though he had not moved at all.

The man behind him, holding a broken bar and wearing a warden’s uniform, the former Impel Down chief who enjoyed torturing prisoners, Shiryu, had his head explode just as the broken bar was about to pierce Bullet’s heart.

The headless body took a few more steps from momentum.

Thud.

Then it fell to the ground.

In that instant, the entire Level 6 fell silent.

This strange method of killing sent chills through everyone, and the one who died was Shiryu.

Only one person understood what had happened.

The Red Count, Patrick Redfield, who once stood alongside legends like Roger and Shiki.

With his Observation Haki that could read minds, he had seen how Shiryu died, and that made it even more terrifying.

From chaos to silence, it had taken only a few seconds, yet blood already flowed like a river. Bullet had killed them into speechlessness.

He let out a soft sigh and picked up another handful of stones. "Too weak..."

He had wanted to find someone strong, someone worth playing with.

But now...

Countless stones flew from his hand. Like a shotgun blast, they covered every corner of the prison.

The sound of flesh being pierced mixed with screams of pain and fear rose sharply, then stopped just as suddenly.

A few seconds later, in the whole prison, only one person remained alive.

Redfield.

Bullet looked at him and nodded slightly. "Your Observation Haki is good. Unfortunately... you’re too old."

Unlike Observation Haki, which relied on mental strength and barely declined, Redfield’s body had withered after more than twenty years of imprisonment. Torture, time, and the restrictions of Impel Down had left him extremely weak. Combined with his age, he was no longer the "Red Count" who once ruled the seas.

Hearing those words, a shadow flashed across Redfield’s eyes. This aged body was the one thing he least wanted to face, but he knew it well.

Today was the end of his life.

He said nothing. Instead, he bent down and picked up a broken iron bar, holding it like a sword. A faint trace of sword aura flowed along the jagged metal. Even so, it carried a dangerous edge.

Watching him, a smile appeared on Bullet’s face. In his mind, he had already decided where to strike.

In the next instant, a red shadow and a blue shadow crossed.

Redfield lowered his head slightly, looking at his old hands, and let out a quiet sigh.

The broken bar slipped from his grip and fell to the ground.

Clang!

The crisp sound echoed through the silent prison.

Redfield could read the attack, but his body, and the "blade" in his hand, could not keep up.

Thud.

He fell to the ground.

All signs of life vanished. A large hole had appeared in his chest, right through the heart.

One of the four legendary pirates, the last Red Count... was dead.

Bullet rolled his neck and muttered, "Boring..."

Turning around, he walked straight toward the gate.

Crack!

Without changing his path at all, the corpses lying in his way had their heads crushed under his steps.

At the gate, he grabbed the handle and pulled. The massive iron door warped under the force and was torn open.

Blood that had pooled inside flowed out through the gap, startling the guards outside. Even through their masks, the heavy smell of blood hit them head-on.

Bullet stepped out.

"Let’s go. There are still some rats to deal with."

Magellan paused for a moment. "Rats?"

Chuckling, Bullet walked toward the elevator. "You’re not a very good warden. Keep up."

* * *

Level 5, the Freezing Hell.

Everything here was covered in ice and snow. The extreme cold alone was enough to slowly freeze even pirates with bounties over a hundred million.

The soldiers who had followed Bullet were already waiting outside. Only Magellan remained, following behind as they walked through the frozen land without a clear direction.

They stopped in front of an icy forest.

A savage grin spread across Bullet’s face. "The little rats are getting ready to run."

After all, wiping out the entire prison had only taken half a night. By the time they realized and came to investigate, he had already reached this point.

"Stay back, Magellan. Don’t get caught in it. It’s my first time using this in real combat."

That calm, almost amused tone sent a chill down Magellan’s spine. Without hesitation, he retreated nearly a hundred meters before stopping.

A soft chuckle escaped Bullet.

Then he stomped his foot into the snow.

Boom!

The ground trembled violently as a thunderous roar spread across the entire level. The impact pierced through the ceiling of the hidden Level 5.5, and the icy forest began to collapse.

Magellan’s pupils shrank as he stared at that figure, like an ancient demon, filled with fear.

* * *

Level 5.5.

Massive chunks of rock and snow collapsed from above. Ivankov, the "Okama King," who had been organizing everyone to evacuate, did not even have time to react.

A gigantic hand suddenly pierced through the ceiling.

Then another.

The two enormous blue hands tore the opening wider.

A giant, nearly a hundred meters tall, emerged.

Bullet’s face, twisted like a demon in that monstrous form, leaned into the underground space, and a hoarse voice filled with killing intent echoed through the area.

"Where do you think you’re going... little rats..."
