# Chapter 108: Can't Even Stand Up!
Dark, cold, silent. This underground space named 'Infinite Hell' remained like a dead land, leaving people feeling numb and despairing.
Although there was no Torture, no hunger, and no punishment, for the great figures here, feeling the Strength constantly draining from their bodies, and the lifespan and Time being wasted, the mental torment was also considerable.
"Phew—"
"That bastard finally shut up, my ears have been about to explode lately!"
Shiki angrily raised his hands, which were bound by Seastone Handcuffs, and rubbed his ears covered by thick golden hair. These past few days, Bullet had been shouting and making a racket almost all day. No matter how much the other Prisoners, terribly bothered by him, cursed him, he would only quiet down after falling asleep.
This was also directly related to those useless Jailers completely ignoring the situation.
Seriously, if all the Cell Doors were opened one day, Bullet would definitely be beaten to death by them working together.
Just as everyone was enjoying this brief moment of quiet, Magellan silently appeared outside Bullet's Prison Cell.
"Come out, someone wants to see you."
Magellan's voice wasn't loud, but Bullet, who looked like he was sound asleep inside, instantly opened his eyes, his face showing uncontrollable surprise. He quickly flipped over and stood up.
"Finally!"
At the same time, Magellan outside took out a Key, inserted it into the lock, and opened the Seastone Cell Door. However, their movements were noticed by Crocodile in the neighboring cell.
"Magellan, why can he go out?" The 'Sand Crocodile' angrily walked to the Cell Door and questioned through gritted teeth.
"None of your business, go back to sleep!"
After speaking, Magellan expressionlessly watched Bullet walk out of the Prison Cell. After closing the Cell Door again, he escorted the ecstatic Bullet away.
"Tell me! Why? What he can do for you, I, Crocodile, can do too!!"
His shouts, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, only provoked Bullet's arrogant laughter and mockery: "Hahaha, what good is your Strength now? Just obediently squat in there~~~"
"Damn it!"
Crocodile clenched his fists tightly in anger, his eyes red as he stared at Bullet's figure gradually disappearing from sight. At the same time, he frantically thought about Bullet's use to the World Government in his mind.
"Could it be that shouting loudly can really get you released?"
On Bullet's side, he followed Magellan and once again took the Large Elevator to the level above the sea.
Although it was late at night, it was still brightly lit here, with constant Screams.
New Prisoners, trembling with fear, lined up one by one, slowly approaching the Large Pot filled with boiling water at the deepest part, waiting for their 'Baptism'.
But none of this concerned Bullet.
At this moment, he had taken off his Prison Uniform and changed back into the Clothing he wore before coming in. He walked out of Impel Down's Gate in a cheerful mood.
Magellan then handed him over to a guy wearing a White Mask, White Suit, and White Coat.
The moment he sensed the latter's Aura, Bullet's Gaze suddenly narrowed. His Sixth Sense was frantically warning him of the other party's danger.
"The person has been handed over to you, I'm heading back now."
After speaking, Magellan took out the Key and handed it to the Jailer next to him, who then unlocked Bullet's Handcuffs and Leg Cuffs.
The latter waited for his hands and feet to regain freedom, and found that the Green Collar on his Neck was gone, a smile immediately appeared.
He pointed to the empty Ground beneath his feet and sneered mockingly:
"Shouldn't my Shadow be returned to me now?"
"When it's time to return it, it will naturally be returned to you."
Magellan turned around and returned to Impel Down without a care.
He no longer paid attention to Bullet's darkening Expression.
"Let's go, Lord wants to see you."
At this moment, the White-clothed Person reminded him.
"OK!"
Bullet suppressed the anger in his Heart and showed a seemingly terrifying smile.
While following the other party towards a World Government Official Ship, he asked with a smile:
"You must be the hidden Expert of the World Government, right? How many more like you are there?"
However, the White-clothed Person completely ignored him.
This made the former frown, and he had no choice but to shut his mouth.
Two hours later, Bullet arrived at Holy Land Marie Geoise and strode into Pangaea Castle.
Finally, he stood before the Gate of the Empty Hall.
Along the way, he had considered finding an opportunity to escape.
Although he had no Shadow beneath his feet and couldn't walk in the Sunlight, it was night now.
But every time he was about to make a move.
The White-clothed Person would release astonishing Killing Intent, forcing Bullet to abandon the idea.
There was nothing he could do, his Strength was inferior, and he didn't want to die.
Because in his opinion, anyone who died was a weakling.
He was a man who wanted to become the Strongest!
Moreover, Bullet also wanted to see the true Strongest person in the World in his Heart.
"Go in."
After the White-clothed Person said this, he paid no further attention, turned around and left without another word, quickly disappearing at the end of the Corridor.
Only Bullet was left, silently examining the Gate before him.
Finally, his Gaze settled, and he still chose to push it open.
"Hmm?"
Upon entering, the first thing he saw was the three-tiered platform and the Stairs covered with a Red Carpet.
He didn't pay attention to the Gate that automatically closed behind him.
His Gaze continued to move upward, passing the second tier.
He then saw the third tier, where twenty various Weapons were embedded.
Finally, he saw the Gold-Red Throne, which resembled a spire.
"Oh, so that's the legendary Empty Throne that no one can sit on, representing peace and equality? It's really a nice spot..."
Bullet grinned as he looked at the Empty Throne, thinking in his Heart: Perhaps one day when he possessed the Strongest Strength in the World, he could find Time to try sitting on it.
[Boom————]
"What's going on?!"
Suddenly, he only felt the air everywhere around him rioting, boiling, and squeezing in.
A completely irresistible 'weight' suddenly pressed down on every muscle.
Even his Consciousness began to blur.
[Thump!]
Without any surprise, just like Doflamingo before him.
Bullet fell heavily to his knees on the Ground, his head pressed tightly against the bright Red Carpet.
"No, no... How can I kneel? How can I lower my head?"
Bullet's face turned red, his teeth clenched tightly, his eyes wide to the point of almost splitting open. His Expression was frantic as he exerted all his Strength, trying to push back the oppressive air around him, and then, stand up!
"Is this Conqueror's Haki? No, it's more like Armament Haki, no, no, this is the purest Haki..."
"The deterrence of Conqueror's, the Emission of Armament, and the perception of Observation Haki are perfectly fused, no longer having obvious separation from each other. But how is this possible!"
Compared to Doflamingo, Bullet's Aptitude and talent in Combat and Haki were indeed stronger.
Even though his emotions were in a frenzy, his subconscious sensed the essence of this invisible pressure.
It was precisely because he knew the essence that he was even more shocked.
The Three Types of Haki could indeed be used simultaneously, but that was through coordination, not fusion!
Furthermore, the quality and quantity of this Haki had reached an unbelievable level.
It completely surpassed the level of all peak Combat Power users he had seen so far.
Including Roger, Garp, and others.
Suddenly.
A voice, utterly cold, arrogant to the bone, treating his looking down on all beings as a matter of course, as if everything in the World was within his grasp, echoed through the Main Hall.
"You can't even stand up, how will you punch me, Douglas Barrett."
