ăLife of Douglas Bulletă
âYouâre the strongest when youâre alone!!â
âYouâre strong because youâre alone!!â
Age 0(45 years ago):
â˘Born in the âCountry Where War Never Endsâ in the âGrand Lineâ
â˘His parents belong to the enemy state; he was abandoned by his mother early on and became an orphan
â˘Found and raised by the army of the enemy military state âGartzburgâ, âGartzForceâ
ăăGFăon the Armbandă
Bullet was found by the Gartzburg army âGartzForceâ. The ăGFăon his armband is to show his old place GartzForce.
Age 1~8 ( 44~37 years ago):
â˘He is strictly trained as a child soldier under a commander of âGartzForceâ, Douglas Gray, and he was only given the minimum amount of supplies to live.
â˘His main tasks were to be used a âsacrifice pieceâ, such as walking through minefield as vanguard, and participating in mission that requires him to carry a bomb and blaze a trail.
ăOrigin of His Nameă
In the army they called all the child soldiers, who were treated as pellets, âBulletâ. They also organize the child soldiers with number, Bullet is âNumber 9â, and his Commanderâs name is Douglas. âThe 9th Bullet of Douglas TroopââŚThatâs the origin of the name, Douglas Bullet.
â˘They have the reward system in which the person who earn the most feats of war on the battlefield will be rewarded with a âMedalâ(service ribbon).
â˘A child as he was, Bullet, who was not given anything aside from weapons, desired to earn the âMedalâ.
â˘There can only be one winner of the âMedalâ. With his genius-like combat abilities, Bullet was very active on the battlefield up to the point that he almost achieved his goal, but then he was betrayed by his comrades, he didnât get the âMedalâ and he was severely injured.
â˘âYouâre way too strong...! You monster...!â
The reason for this betrayal was âBulletâs strengthâ. He was even persecuted by the child soldiers who grew up in the same environment as him.
â˘He rounded up all the child soldiers who betrayed and persecuted him, and seized the medal. He realized that the reasons for his failure were his carelessness, pride and his weakness to believe in his allies.
â˘Supplies, tactics, strength... Bullet, after learning from his mistakes, uses all of them for âhis own victoriesâ without any hesitation, he earned the âMedalâ one after another. He remains undefeated.
Age 9~13 (36~32 years ago):
â˘Demonstrating his âstrength of oneâ, heâs a unparalleled hero on the battlefield. He became the strongest child soldier.
â˘The more he wins, the more he can act as he likes. He felt a sense of fulfillment and that heâs truly alive, and he felt that heâs free.
â˘Being strong let you survive and give you freedom. He begins to feel that being strong gives him a reason to live.
â˘One day when he reached his limit on the battlefield, due to exhaustion and hunger, he discovered and ate a*devil fruit, âGasha-Gasha Fruitâ. He survived because of that and his strength became more unwavering.
Age 14 (31 years ago):
â˘Thanks to the effort of Bullet, the hero of the war, the war was near its end.
â˘Bulletâs commander Douglas Gray was promoted to âGeneralâ because of Bulletâs feats.
â˘General Douglas treated Bullet differently because of the possible benefits that he can bring.
âBullet, I think of you as my own son...! After we win this war, Iâll welcome you into the upper officials of the army, Iâll release you from this bloody battlefield thatâs full of discipline! You can even lead a rich life away from the battlefield. Youâll have true freedom!â
ăEstablishing the Identity of an One Man Armyă
Bullet served in the army until he was 14, he was called a hero for his feats that can matched a thousand. He fully realizes that âOne treasure can only be obtained by one personâ, and as he grows, he established his identity of âA person is strong because theyâre aloneâ.
â˘Bullet dreams of the Generalâs flattery
âAway from war, a life of freedom...â
â˘Bullet departed for the final battle thatâll decide the outcome of the war.
â˘Thanks to Bullet, they forced the enemyâs army to surrender. Just when he thought they won, he was surrounded by his army.
â˘âYour strength will eventually threatens my position...!â
General Douglas had betrayed him in order to kill him.
â˘The betrayal of General Douglas, the first person that he trusted, and the disappointment of the new freedom before him. Those combined made him furious and when he was in a dying condition, he went on a rampage.
â˘Only his strength that he got from training did not betrayed him. He ended the war and destroyed his own army and country.
â˘Since he destroyed a country, the World Government begun to go after him. Bullet set sail out to the sea as a pirate alone, seeking battleground.
Age 15 (30 years ago):
â˘Bullet the unbeaten roamed the sea looking for battles.
â˘He met Roger and challenged him, he lost. No matter how many times he challenged him, he just kept losing, Bullet suffered his first series of defeats in his life.
â˘Apparently, Roger's strength is different from ,âYouâre strong because youâre aloneâ, what Bullet has developed. Bullet continued to attack Roger's ship with the feeling of wanting to find out its identity and more than anything, he doesnât want to keep losing.
â˘During the days of Bulletâs challenges, Roger faced all of them head-on and Bullet can never managed to win. One day, Bullet lost after giving all heâs got, he then swore to Roger,
âOne day Iâll defeat you and become the strongest in the world...!â
Roger laughedâCome at me anytimeâ.
ăJoining Roger Piratesă
Bullet, whoâs always been alone, met someone whoâs stronger than him for the first time. He admired Roger. Bullet, who has made a âfriendâ for the first time, decided to aboard his ship as a âchallengerâ.
Age 17 (28 years ago):
â˘being called the âDemon Heirâ of Roger Pirates
â˘Bullet was shocked when he learned about Rogerâs incurable disease.
Age 18 (27 years ago):
â˘Learning the upcoming time of Rogerâs death, he became impatient that he might not fulfill his oath. He begins to have doubts.
â˘Eventually, he developed the consciousness of âI have to protect my friendsâ , and he hesitates when making decisions during battles. He thinks that heâs becoming weaker.
â˘He began to have doubts about Rogerâs âstrengthâ. Roger is strong like a demon when heâs fighting for his friends. The essence of this is the result of demonstrating an extraordinary resolve by being alone and putting himself in danger. However, on the other hand, Bullet realized that Rogerâs idea of "protecting my friends" gets in his way, and he canât go all out. Bullet thought that...the existence of friends makes strength imperfect.
â˘Bullet believes that he cannot surpass Roger by staying with them. He have to corner himself more...
â˘He challenged Roger one last time, he put up a good fight but he still lost.
Bullet: âKill me...!â
But as usual, Roger: âCome at me again anytimeâ
Bullet got off the ship and made a name for himself as a rookie after his independence.
Age 19 (26 years ago):
â˘Fought against Crocodile, whoâs a rookie at that time, no result.
Age ??:
â˘Rogerâs subordinate made a âEternal Poseâ pointing to âLaugh Taleâ. However, after Roger found out what they did he threw it in the ocean. Then it was eaten by a sea king.
â˘The Great Pirate Era starts as Rogerâs being executed.
â˘What can he do to surpass Roger, whoâs now dead. A dilemma that you can never win against those who have died. As if trying to get rid of his hesitation, he goes on a rampage on the sea.
ăThe Wound on His Left Shoulderă
The tattoo-like wound on his left shoulder is like a medal to Bullet. He got it during his first âBuster Callâ.
Age 22 (23 years ago):
â˘The Marine uses âBuster Callâ to corner and capture the rampaging Bullet.
â˘Even though Bullet fought fiercely, he eventually wears out. Then he was attacked by the pirates whom he had defeated before, that became the decisive factor of the battle and Bullet was finally caught. He was then imprisoned in the underwater prison Impel Down.
Age 23~43 (22~2 years ago):
â˘During the 20 years in Impel Down Level 6, he concentrates and continues his training silently.
â˘He made a decision after being distressed about what he should do to surpass Roger.
â˘âI will become the worldâs strongest âPirate Kingâ that surpasses Rogerââ
He decided to kill all the strong people in the world, including the âFour Emperorsâ and the navy admirals. He thinks that itâs the proof of being the strongest, something that even Roger couldnât accomplish. He plan to accomplish that goal with his completed âstrength of oneâ.
â˘Just when he was finishing his training, the prison break commotion started by âStrawhatâ and âBlackbeardâ happened. Taking advantage of the commotion, Bullet escaped.
â˘grasp the current situation of the sea
⢠After learning about Whitebeardâs death and that he died protecting his subordinates, heâs convinced that his belief is right.
â˘He found the man that was supposed to be dead after being eaten by a Sea King, Festa. They obtained Rogerâs treasure for the ambition of being worldâs strongest. They start the plan to seize the Buster Call and kill all pirates.
Age 44~45 (A year ago~Now)
â˘Hidding, preparation stage
â˘âPirate Festivalâ starts
To show that heâs the strongest and has surpasses Roger, he puts on a military uniform, which represents his origin, as the proof of his determination.
