"Stay away from Straw Hat Boy!!"
Seeing Adrian's appearance, Ivankov's complexion changed instantly. He directly launched the "Death Winking Eye" to attack Adrian.
Bo~
Adrian didn't dodge. Instead, he directly used the Paw-Paw Fruit ability to shoot the attack in different direction.
Boom!
Luffy and Sabo flew backward instantly.
"That is!!" Ivankov's eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, "Bastard, how could you have the ability of a big brother Kuma... Is it because of you that he was transformed into a pacifista he is now!"
"That's right, now you know that I had killed him, what can you do?"
Adrian gave a cold snort of disdain. He pulled out Oto and waved his hand, creating a slash wave. Against this kind of stuff, the boost ability of the Paw-Paw Fruit wasn't needed at all.
"Bastard... Galaxy Wink!" While forming more than a dozen afterimages of human faces at an extremely fast speed, he shot death winks. In an instant, dozens of terrifying shocks struck Adrian. At the same time, he yelled at Luffy and Sabo, who were struggling to get up behind him, "Run, you two! I can't stop him for long... you'll be safe when you get to the dragon!"
"I'm not leaving, Ace's body is still there..." In times of crisis, Luffy still maintained his self-willed nature. But his words weren't even finished yet when a cold light flashed, and in front of him, Ivankov's huge deformed body was split in two. Blood spurted out in an instant, and soon a pool of blood formed on the ground. It looked extremely frightening.
"You... don't come here!"
When Adrian's strolling figure slowly walked out of the gunpowder smoke, Sabo's spirit instantly collapsed. The scene in front of him reminded him of the tragedy of his childhood, of the ship sinking. Suddenly, he screamed tremblingly like a madman. At the same time, he fled backward, rolling and crawling. He was scared! Adrian had completely scared the wits out of him. In the face of endless fear, Sabo couldn't care less about brotherhood anymore. He just wanted to live.
"Sabo, what's wrong with you?" Luffy stared blankly at Sabo, not understanding why he escaped in such a mess.
"Straw Hat boy, hurry up! Don't let Lord Ivankov's blood flow in vain!" Imazuna rushed over with tears in his eyes. His hands instantly turned into two scissors that could cut anything. While running over, he cut the ground into ten thick stone slabs to block Luffy.
"But Ace's body is still..."
"Forget about that." Without any explanation, Imazuna pulled Luffy up and fled backward.
"Want to run? Hmph how rude, you didn't even ask me?!"
Adrian snorted coldly, raised the sword in his hand, and another huge slash shot out. Then he ignored the two of them and shifted his gaze to Ace's corpse. To prevent exceeding the time limit, Adrian directly activated [VIP Plundering].
Boom—
In the next second, a huge, extremely luxurious golden coffin fell from the sky.
Clatter...
The golden lid opened. Six golden chains as thick as arms shot out of the coffin in an instant. They directly dragged Ace's body into it.
[Ding, the system has detected the body of the newly dead 'Portgas D. Ace' within a day, which meets the conditions for plundering, the system has automatically deducted 1 billion Berry...]
"That's... the legendary Coffin-Coffin Fruit." Sengoku muttered.
Originally, when Sengoku saw Adrian successfully beheading many core cadres of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, Sengoku was astonished his terrifying growth rate in his heart. But now that he see the golden coffin appear, a heavy sense of alertness and worry suddenly appeared on his face. As latest as in the previous "Crocodile incident" report, there was a mention of a golden coffin. Then Adrian showed the ability of the "Sand-Sand Fruit." Therefore, Sengoku and Tsuru had speculated that the "Coffin-Coffin Fruit" might have some kind of special function that could replicate the ability of the dead. This was also the most direct reason why they gave the order to kill Adrian.
However, after Adrian showed his strength as a great swordsman, Sengoku knew that it won't be possible to kill him easily. However, what really made him feel jealous and puzzle was that in the battle between Adrian and Marco just now, the former actually took the initiative to jump into the sea. Why is his devil fruit not reacting to sea?
"Sengoku, let me go! I'm going to find that 'Corpse Collector' kid to settle the score. Without him, this situation wouldn't be possible." Garp's roar quickly interrupted Sengoku's thoughts. His voice was full of grief and anger. Well, since you won't let me make a move on Akainu, then , I can vent my anger on Adrian, the Shichibukai!
"Garp, you bastard, are you trying to ruin what's going on?" Sengoku looked around, gritted his teeth, and said, "Adrian is the only one fighting among the Shichibukai. Are you trying to push him to the enemy's side?"
Although Sengoku was very afraid of Adrian's terrifying growth rate, now was definitely not a good time to attack him. Confronting the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army at the same time had already stretched the Marine's combat power. If you add Adrian and the empress who obeyed him, then the next direction of this war would be extremely unfavorable to the Marines. Rather than being like this, it would be better to use Adrian to wear down the forces of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army.
"Sengoku, but I can hardly suppress the anger in my heart!" Garp said, struggling.
"Don't move, you bastard! Do you think I don't know what you want to do. Straw Hat Luffy is also the subject of execution today. No matter what, I won't let him escape." Sengoku tightened his hand, pressed Garp's head into the ground again, and said viciously, "Also, do you really think we are all blind? The Marine's honor was almost lost because of you!"
While the two were arguing, Adrian's reward was already in place.
[Ding! VIP Plundering is complete!]
[Ding! Congratulations to Host, you have obtained the "Mera-Mera Fruit" ability of the newly dead "Portgas D. Ace"!]
[The system has been automatically "scale-free" to eliminate side effects such as seawater and seastone.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining "Primary Observation Haki". Since it does not exceed the level of the Host itself, it is automatically converted into the corresponding experience!]
[Ding! Congratulations to Host for obtaining the special bloodline ability "D's Will"!]
What the hell?! What's happening here?
Before Adrian had time to react that Fire Fist Ace's strength was too poor, he was taken aback by the prompt that sounded at the end. It actually ran through the main line of "One Piece"—the mysterious "D's Will"! The system even plundered this thing?! Bullseye!
But... what made Adrian a little confused was that the "Will of D" was just a weak special bloodline ability? And in the introduction column, except for the three words [to be activated], there was no more introduction. What the hell did this mean? Was it because Ace was too weak, that even the "Will of D" could not be activated? Adrian remembered the corresponding analysis that he derived from his previous life. Basically, it is said that "D's Will" was the inheritance and embodiment of a certain strength and will. It symbolized some kind of unknown mission. Even Whitebeard had said before he died in the original that even if the bloodline is cut off, the flame of "D's Will" would not be extinguished and would continue to be passed down.
But now was obviously not a good time to delve into this.
Boom!
At this time, a muffled sound came from a distance. Adrian turned his eyes and saw the scene where Dragon with his right arm, covered in armament haki, smashed the Slash Wave.
Adrian smiled wickedly. In a blink of an eye, he was already standing opposite Dragon, Luffy, and the others.
"What a coincidence, Dragon. I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
"You played me before!" Dragon looked at Adrian with cold eyes. The extremely unbeatable smile on the other party's face made him almost unable to restrain the urge to fight. After a long silence, he said coldly, "Where's Betty? Give her back, or the Revolutionary Army will never rest until you are dead!"
"Tsk tsk, you didn't take the initiative to kick her out at the beginning." Adrian had a playful look on his face and asked with a smirk, "Why, do you regret it now?"
Before Dragon could speak, he continued, "However, shouldn't you care about the man who I just killed? He was loyal to you. Don't you feel sad?"
"Iv..."
Dragon's face suddenly changed. As to be expected, after listening to Adrian's words, Imazuna and the others behind Dragon showed some changes on their faces. They all looked at Dragon in unison. Although these people were all cadres of the Revolutionary Army, their loyalty to Ivankov was far beyond Dragon's. Now that it was successfully challenged by Adrian, it would turn out be a very troublesome thing.
"Hmph, don't worry. I will avenge Ivankov, as well as Lindbergh and Karasu, but not now!" Dragon said with his awe-inspiring presence, "Inazuna, take Luffy and Sabo to board the boat. Morley is waiting for you over there."
"But Mr. Dragon..." Inazuna showed hesitation on his face, but Dragon didn't give him a chance to speak and interrupted him roughly, "You guys go. I'll hold him back."
"Want to leave? Have you asked me, How about... Chidori Cross Cut, 10 Times Cut!"
