Chapter 100 Upside Down Mountain, Twin Gorges
Twin Gorges is the starting point of seven different routes in the first half of the Grand Route. Two towering lighthouses stand here to guide everyone who enters the Great Route.
Below the lighthouse, an old man with a hairstyle like half a flower petal was lying on a beach chair reading a newspaper. He was wearing a very fancy short-sleeved holiday shirt, and he was holding a huge parasol next to him.
Adrian grabbed the boat and flew down from the sky. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Looking up at the sky, there is still a scene of dark clouds in the sky.
Opening a parasol on a rainy day, it seems that the old man from One Piece is not very good at showing off...
"I have been guarding the Twin Gorges for so many years. I have seen people glide down from the sea channel smoothly, and I have seen people fall to pieces. This is the first time I have seen someone fly down holding on to his own boat!"

Kurokas didn't know Adrian's psychological activities and just expressed his feelings on his own.
Adrian calmed down and smiled kindly: "Excuse me, Mr. Kurokas."
"Oh? You know me?"
Kurokas folded the "World Economic News" in his hand and put it aside, looking at the young newcomer with a well-proportioned figure and handsome appearance with a little curiosity.
"Tower of the Twin Gorges, I have done my homework in advance." Adrian smiled slightly, parked the boat in his hand, and walked in front of Kurokas.
Just when he was about to say something, there was a sudden movement on the sea behind him.
Turning around, he saw several pirates who had just fallen into the water and survived, each holding a broken board and swimming desperately towards the Twin Gorges.
Boom——! !
The red soil continent underfoot suddenly shook slightly, and a low roar sounded.
"Ah..."
Chaos currents suddenly rolled up in the already rough waterway, and several pirates on the water were swept into it, leaving only a tragic cry that lingered.
Seeing this scene, Adrian was quite speechless and said: "Is this lucky or unfortunate..."
Boom, boom, boom...
The red earth continent below the Twin Gorges is filled with muffled sounds.
Adrian came to the shore and looked down. Through the undulating sea surface, he could vaguely see the huge black shadow under the water, which was crashing towards the red earth continent again and again.
"It's Rab, an island whale." Kurokas walked up and introduced Adrian, "It comes from the West Sea."
"Well, it's a rare species," Adrian nodded noncommittally, "I've always wanted to see what island whales look like when I was sailing in the West Sea, but unfortunately I couldn't encounter them."
After a while, a huge water ball slowly rose from the sea in the distance, and then an extremely large black whale rushed out of the sea, revealing its head covered with vertical and horizontal scars.
Adrian looked at the island whale Rabu with interest. What he just said was not a lie.
Many animals in this world have unusual intelligence levels, especially these sea beasts that live in the sea.
As far as Adrian knows, those super-large sea kings hidden in the deep sea of the Grand Route even have extremely long lifespans and advanced wisdom similar to humans!
In order to complete his mission before, when he was sailing alone in the West Sea, Adrian had thought about capturing a highly intelligent sea beast to work as a puller, but unfortunately he didn't find one that suited his aesthetics.
Later, because of the four-sea voyage plan, this idea was directly thrown out of my mind.
It wasn't until meeting Rab at this time that Adrian recalled this previous plan.
In a sense, the Island Whale is really a very good [car].
In order to treat Labu's forehead injury, Kurokas made a full range of internal modifications for him. He opened holes in the body, installed an entrance and a gate in the stomach bag, and even repaired the sewer...
What's even more speechless is that Kurokas even placed a boat inside Rab's body...
But there is one thing to say, this approach is indeed a bit too curious...
"Okay, don't dwell on such unimportant things anymore, let's talk about business, Mr. Kulokas." Adrian looked at Kulokas, "I personally have a little plan, but we need the help of some people with knowledge. Mr. Koulokas, I wonder if you know where the [Oral Jackson] is now.”
[Auro Jackson] was designed and built by Tom, the "legendary shipbuilder" of the Seven Waters City. It is a treasure ship made from the treasure tree Adam!
At the same time, it is also the pirate king ship that the Roger Pirates rely on to conquer the Great Channel!
As early as when he destroyed the Capone gang and obtained the Fortress Fruit, Adrian had envisioned how to deal with this extremely precious space devil fruit.
After the [Ghost Control] skill was upgraded to [Ghost Control], a plan, or idea, naturally emerged in Adrian's mind.
One of the well-known secrets of the sea is that if a person eats a second Devil Fruit after having already taken one, they will explode and die.
Before Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach publicly appeared in the eyes of the world for the first time, this [secret] was regarded as an unshakable [iron rule] and lasted for thousands of years.
Adrian is not prepared to eat the Fortress Fruit himself. He is not an [alien] like Blackbeard. After having already eaten the Ghost Fruit, if he takes the Fortress Fruit again, there will definitely be only one outcome, and that is to explode into the sky. The bloody sunset!
However, just because Adrian doesn't eat the Fortified Fruit, it doesn't mean that his ghost can't eat the Fortified Fruit!
Since [Ghost Dominance] was upgraded to LV6, the following line appeared in its detailed skill description:
"You can also awaken the spirits with simple consciousness that exist within the range, and have the power to control them"!
If Adrian had used his own power to create a ghost, he wouldn't have done this.
However, the [spirit bodies] that originally existed in the world, after being awakened by Adrian using the ghost fruit ability, are not considered extensions of his body or spirit, but only have the [power to control] these spirits. That’s all!
These [spirit bodies] are essentially spiritual products born under various complicated conditions. They have nothing to do with Adrian. Even if they eat the Devil Fruit, they just have a new ability!
Feeding the [Fortified City Fruit] to the awakened [Spirit Body] is Adrian's real plan!
It's just that such spiritual beings are rare, and Adrian doesn't look down on ordinary things. But there is another kind of spirit in the world of One Piece that perfectly suits his needs - the ship spirit!
