"You rude, disobedient boy, I don't like you!" Morley jabbed his trident into the ground.
Rumble!
Immediately, the earth shook violently. The flat ground seemed to come alive, rising section by section, forming a thick wall in an instant.
However...
Bang!
The moment the bullet struck, it instantly shattered the wall into pieces. After the defensive wall was destroyed, a savage shockwave surged forward, pushing Morley's giant body back several steps.
"Why does one bullet have such power?" Morley's head spun, genuinely bewildered.
Bang!
Cage gave him no chance to breathe, firing another shot.
"Ain... take the others and bypass this guy to support the royal capital. I'll deal with him and then catch up."
Cage commanded. These Marines wouldn't be of much use if they stayed.
Ain nodded, waved her hand, and quickly led the Marines away.
Boom boom boom!
With a loud crash, the wall Morley had created once more was destroyed by Cage's bullet.
"What exactly is this guy's ability? It seems he can make the entire earth move according to his will just by sticking his weapon into the soil," Cage pondered Morley's ability. This Revolutionary Army commander, who seemed rather dim-witted, was actually quite formidable.
"You're a very dangerous boy. I'm going to take care of you!"
Morley plunged his trident into the soil again, and the ground began to split once more.
Crick crack crack...
A pit tore open beneath Cage's feet, and his body plummeted down.
Bang, boom boom!
Morley stirred the earth twice more with his trident, and the torn opening instantly closed, burying Cage alive.
"Betty will definitely praise me when she finds out, hehe..." Morley's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, a joyful smile on his face as he skipped away.
"This guy really underestimates me."
Deep beneath the dark earth, Cage's Observation Haki spread out. He was about twenty to thirty meters below the surface. A human wouldn't survive long in such a sealed environment.
Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger, aiming at the ground above his head.
Rumble!
The earth was pierced through by Cage in a blink of an eye. The world his eyes saw once again became bright, utterly destroyed.
Morley, who hadn't walked far, turned back in disbelief. It was at that moment that Cage's familiar gunshots echoed in his ears.
Thud!
The bullet struck Morley's massive body instantly, blowing a fifty-centimeter wide bloody hole in his head.
Such a terrifying wound on a normal human would likely have obliterated their entire head, but because this guy was a giant, his enormous head merely had a bloody cavity.
"A-aaah... it hurts so much!"
Morley's pained wail quickly rang out. He clutched his head with both hands, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot. "Damn it... I absolutely won't forgive you!"
"What the hell, he's not dead?!"
Cage cursed inwardly at the sight, utterly shocked. From the injured head, even brain matter mixed with blood slowly oozed out.
Such an injury... anyone else would surely be beyond dead, right?
"Giants have such tenacious vitality," Cage sighed helplessly, finally raising his rifle again.
"You rotten guy, I'll only be careless once!"
Morley, having suffered a great loss, finally fought with all his might. He gritted his teeth and mustered his full strength. His trident swept diagonally with a whoosh. Cage's marksmanship was too lethal; another shot to the head... and he'd really be dead!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A fierce gale swept forward, like invisible wind blades. As they cut across the ground, they easily carved out several-meter deep gashes.
"What's with this? If you don't have any hidden techniques, then just die quickly and stop wasting my time." Cage yawned, then pulled the trigger again.
Whoosh!
The bullet pierced through the hurricane, instantly scattering the deadly wind blades, and both vanished into nothingness.
"How is this possible?!"
Morley gasped, his eyes wide. In this scene, he even wondered if he was dreaming.
He stared intently at the rifle in Cage's hand—it was rusty, and even the wooden stock was somewhat broken. Damn it... could a broken gun really be that powerful?
Bang!!!
Another gunshot rang out. Morley was terrified; he even saw the Grim Reaper in a daze.
In his haste, he quickly covered various parts of his body with Armament Haki.
But...
Thud!!!
The so-called Armament Haki was utterly useless. The moment the black bullet touched Morley, it directly tore through the skin on his chest, and another bloody hole, several tens of centimeters in diameter, appeared.
"A-woo woo..."
Morley's face twisted in pain, sweat beading on his forehead. It was simply unimaginable... his Armament Haki couldn't even withstand a broken bullet?
Of course... this wasn't the most fatal part.
Ever since his chest was pierced, he felt as if all his strength had been drained, finding it strangely difficult to even stand.
Thud!
After barely holding on for about ten seconds, Morley collapsed onto the ground, blood gushing from his chest and skull.
"Looks like it took several bullets to finish this guy off."
Cage frowned, a degree of dissatisfaction on his face. "I wonder if the enemy was too strong, or if my standard has dropped."
