"The Byrnndi World who was as famous as Roger and Whitebeard was the man of 30 years ago," Adrian sneered. "The current him... isn't worthy!" In his opinion, the World Destroyer had already fallen out of the first echelon of peak pirate combat power. Although World still maintained the powerful physique of his peak period, everyone else had been progressing while he was frozen. Bullet had worked hard for 20 years in Eternal Hell, forcibly raising his stats to the absolute limit. What did World have to compare to him?
And after 30 years of being frozen, it was hard not to have some irreversible, permanent damage to his body. A decline in strength was inevitable. It was just that the More-More Fruit's 100-fold multiplication was too overpowered, temporarily covering up this weakness. But Adrian didn't believe World could beat Bullet.
"But... my lord, is it really okay for them to be so destructive?" Betty asked, concerned as she looked at the Eternal Hell that was being torn apart and the crumbling ceiling of Level 5 above them. The two monsters didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
"Don't worry. This level of fighting isn't enough to destroy Impel Down. Otherwise, this place would have ceased to exist long ago," Adrian said, waving his hand dismissively.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

As expected, the skills acquired from Level 6 were far better than the sum of the first five floors. But Adrian didn't even finish reading the rewards. He immediately focused on the first skill, [Physical Enhancement].
[Physical Enhancement: Possess more than 1.5 times the physical strength of a normal person. The physical enhancement effect will gradually increase with the growth of the body. Current level: LV1.]
In the eyes of others, a bonus to physical strength might not be very useful. But for Adrian, it was a timely gift. It was even more important than Byrnndi's More-More Fruit. The combination and application of multiple Devil Fruit abilities, while extremely powerful, also consumed a massive amount of stamina. But this Physical Enhancement buff could effectively alleviate this situation, allowing Adrian to unleash more lasting and powerful attacks. This single ability alone made his trip to Impel Down worthwhile. And on top of that, there was the unexpected surprise of the "Triple Lifespan" of the Half-Titans. This time, he had hit the jackpot.
"Okay, Bullet, time's up." Adrian slowly stood up, looking at World with a serious smile. "Let me end this washed-up loser."
"What? Time's up already?" Bullet's face still showed a hint of disappointment, but he didn't dare to disobey Adrian's orders. He immediately backed away. "But Captain, that old guy's fruit ability is really strong."
"You stinking brat, how dare you call me a loser?!" World was instantly furious. Even his voice was filled with endless anger and killing intent. "I'm the man who drove Roger and Whitebeard into countless desperate situations and destroyed the combined fleets of the World Government and Marine twice! I'm the World Destroyer who made the entire world tremble. How dare you call me a loser, you ignorant brat?!"
His terrifying aura rose steadily. World wanted to tear Adrian into pieces.
"Don't flatter yourself. You couldn't even control your own subordinates. How can you say you're not a loser?" Adrian sneered. "Now, you're not even worthy of carrying Roger and Whitebeard's shoes."
"Bastard! Shut up!" World roared furiously, his dark Armament Haki enveloping his body again, giving him a ferocious, ghostly look.
"Armed More-More Fruit: 100 Times Speed!"
Puffs of white smoke rose from World's body, and both his strength and speed were instantly raised to their absolute limit. It looked like an ultra-luxury version of Luffy's Gear 2.
"Is this the old guy's ultimate strength? The multiplication ability of the More-More Fruit is truly terrifying," a rare look of seriousness appeared on Bullet's face. There was no doubt that World, at full power, had stepped into the realm of an Admiral. Even if Bullet activated his ultimate Great Bullet form, he wasn't very confident he could beat the current World.
"Oh no, my lord might be in danger." Betty held up her flag with a determined face, even though she knew that in front of such an enemy, she was nothing more than cannon fodder. But if Adrian was in danger, she would be the first to rush forward.
"Don't do anything stupid. You'll only be a burden to the captain. We should leave this area now," Bullet said, glancing at Betty. In a fight of this level, cannon fodder was useless.
"Old man, I don't have time to waste on you. Whitebeard's head is still waiting for me to collect," Adrian smiled grimly. Terrifying silver lightning suddenly appeared around him, lighting up the dark Eternal Hell.
"One Billion Volt: Raikiri!"
