Adrian slowly spread his hands, and a massive blue and white lightning spear, formed from a billion-volt current, gradually materialized. It was one of Misaka Mikoto's famous attacks, the Railgun. Unlike the Super Electromagnetic Cannon's three times the speed of sound, the Lightning Spear was a pure light-speed attack. No matter how far away an enemy was, it was useless unless they could get into her blind spot. However, due to Misaka Mikoto's physical limitations, the current of her attacks had to be limited so as not to electrocute her. But Adrian was different. With his Thunder-Thunder Fruit ability, he could transform into lightning at will. Using this move caused him no trouble, and its power was naturally more than a hundred times stronger. The Lightning Spear seemed tailor-made for him.
But whenever he thought of Misaka Mikoto, Adrian immediately felt that Enel was a waste. Misaka Mikoto could develop her ability to a billion volts at a young age, while Enel, who acted like a god every day, stopped at 200 million volts. He even had to rely on his Ark Maxim to create thunderclouds for his Thunder God and El Thor attacks. He was a complete loser. Adrian was glad he hadn't kept him around.
"Another new devil fruit ability?!" Bullet's pupils suddenly constricted. The shock Adrian had given him today was overwhelming. To be honest, regardless of the outcome of this next blow, Bullet had already decided to follow Adrian. No one else could match the ambition and courage this man alone possessed.
"The strongest... fist!" Bullet instantly boosted his speed and strength to the absolute limit and charged toward Adrian. The terrifying blow created a series of sonic booms in the air. In the movie, the strongest punch he used in his Devil Form easily crushed Luffy's unique move, "Great Ape King Crow Cannon" in his Gear 4 mode. One could only imagine how terrifying this punch was.
BOOM!
However, Adrian calmly threw the Lightning Spear. Almost as soon as it left his hand, it flew straight into the oncoming Bullet, who was sent flying backward.
PFFT!
Blood sprayed from his shoulder, where a fist-sized hole had suddenly appeared. A violent electric current enveloped his entire body, preventing him from getting up, despite several attempts.
"It's... it's over?!" Betty, hovering in midair, muttered in a daze. Even though she had been watching the battle below with Observation Haki, she still couldn't see Adrian's attack clearly. But seeing that even the legendary pirate Bullet was no match for Adrian, she instantly became a little girl cheering. My Lord is so handsome! She seemed to have forgotten that before coming to Impel Down, she had called him a pervert.
"Thank you, Captain, for not killing me. I didn't expect you to be able to develop your Devil Fruit ability to such an ultimate level that it could even bypass my strongest form." After the powerful numbness subsided, Bullet immediately got up and walked over to Adrian's side, completely at ease. His meaning was clear.
"You'd better stop the bleeding first." Adrian glanced at the wound on his shoulder and smiled. "You actually underestimated the enemy just now." Under normal circumstances, with the powerful combination of Bullet's top-tier Observation Haki and Armament Haki, the lightning would have hurt him, but it wouldn't have been this serious. The Armament Haki in Bullet's body was unmatched in the entire Pirate world. He could coat his entire body with enough Armament Haki, that it could in turn cover a thousand meters-tall titan, with its hardness could hardly be broken by external forces. Its hardening strength was so immense that it had no equal except for Garp.
"This injury is no problem." Bullet grinned, and his Clank-Clank Fruit ability activated instantly. A purple, crystal-like fluid swept out, fusing with the surrounding scrap metal and rubble. In the blink of an eye, the bleeding wound had healed completely.
I'll be damned! Adrian was now beginning to understand why even Rayleigh and others called Bullet a "monster." This guy was a total lunatic.
"Captain, are you going to continue the slaughter?" Bullet followed Adrian and Betty to Level 5, the Freezing Hell. "I heard from that guy, Blackbeard, that an epic battle at Marineford is about to change the world. Aren't you going to join in on the fun?"
"It's still too early... That's a stage I built just for myself. How could I miss it?" Adrian glanced at the eager Bullet, his face darkening. "Bullet, I'm warning you, the Summit War is my stage alone! I've had my eye on Whitebeard for a long time. If you dare to interfere, I will kill you myself without hesitation!" Adrian had plans to put on a one-man show at the Summit War, and he didn't want Bullet getting in the way.
"Heh, you don't need to tell me. I'll leave Whitebeard to you, Captain. After all, a king-to-king fight is fitting for your status," Bullet replied. Although he was an aggressive man, he wasn't a fool. He knew what to do and what not to do.
"As long as you know." Adrian nodded and stopped walking. He looked playfully into the endless darkness of the passage ahead. "Patrick Redfield, the famous 'Red the Aloof.' If you don't show yourself, we're going down to Freezing Hell."
