Chapter 110 Encounter on the sea
The wind was beautiful, the sky was clear, and the sea was calm.
After sailing the ketch away from Drum Island, Adrian encountered a rare chance of good weather.
The gentle sunshine pours on the deck of the sailboat, which is so comfortable that you can't help but want to take a nap.
"Huh?"
As early as the beginning of the voyage, Adrian released the mini ghost Star Parade to act as a lookout on the sea surface.
At this moment, he suddenly felt the distant view of the sea transmitted back by the mini ghost.
"1, 2, 3...8?"
"There are a total of eight naval warships. Will there be such a powerful character in the paradise stage that requires the full strength of the nearby navy?"
Adrian thought curiously.
"I haven't heard of any powerful newcomers coming to the Grand Line recently..."
"Well, these navy are not here for me, are they?"
……
In the naval fleet.
The colonel's adjutant was holding a brass telescope in his hand and observed the small ketch on the sea in the distance for a while.
Not long after, he hurriedly walked out from under the observation deck and walked towards the battleship deck.
Soon, the colonel's adjutant came to Lieutenant General Gumir and said very respectfully:
"Report to Lieutenant General Gumir! A ketch suddenly appeared on the distant sea! There are no identification marks on the sails or the hull!"
Lieutenant General Gumir touched his smooth, untouched skull and asked, "Is it the same as the sailboat the White Ghost rides on in the intelligence?"
"It should be——"
"Are you really here for me, marines?"
Lieutenant General Gumil's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. He touched the handle of the knife at his waist with his right hand and looked up at the same time.
The colonel's adjutant and the other navy soldiers heard the stranger's voice and reacted, looking up.
I saw a young man wearing a bowler hat floating out of thin air near the pure white flag on the main mast of the navy warship. He lowered his head, and the expression on his cheek was covered by a shadow. He was wearing a black suit and a long belt tied around his waist. A short two-handled knife.
"It's the White Ghost!"
"The white ghost is above us!"
"Alert! The whole ship is on alert!!"
A group of navy soldiers instantly became noisy. Some people kept raising their guns and aiming at the target enemy that suddenly appeared in the air.
The person who just spoke was naturally Adrian!
If he had found out in advance that the Navy's target was not him, then Adrian would naturally not be too troublesome and just return quietly and pretend not to see him.
But now that he knows that the navy's target is him, there is no need for him to return!
Fighting eight well-gunned naval battleships with a small wooden brig?
Have you ever planted a B-tree in your heart?
Adrian's eyes flashed and he looked at the senior leader of the navy soldiers. His head was smooth and hairless, with messy, pine-tree-like light-colored long hair scattered all around.
The upper body wears a dark red double-breasted short coat, with a bright green shirt underneath, and a cyan tie between the neck. Two large swords almost as tall as a person are inserted diagonally on the right waist, and on the left waist is a It contains a unique wooden box.
"Your Excellency, you are the 'Vice Admiral Gumir' of the Marine Headquarters Marinefando?"
Although it was a question, Adrian's tone was very calm, and he had obviously confirmed the other party's true identity.
Lieutenant General Gumir suppressed his men's eagerness to attack, raised his head and said calmly: "The white ghost from the West Sea did not expect to have such a deep understanding of the intelligence of the Navy Headquarters."
"Of course!" Adrian's figure disappeared from near the main mast in an instant, and then appeared in front of the sailors on the deck. "Paying attention to the enemy's intelligence and information is a very important and excellent habit!"
What a speed!
Lieutenant General Gumil was slightly startled. He had just activated the Haki of Seeing and Hearing, but the movement speed of the white ghost was still far beyond his expectation!
As expected, he is a powerful character that even Sakaski cannot win!
But...
The headquarters sent me to deal with you, not without any preparation!
This is a weapon specifically designed for Devil Fruit users!
Lieutenant General Gumir touched the wooden box on his left waist and calmed down slightly.
"White Ghost, although I admire what you have done in the South China Sea, you can..." Vice Admiral Gumir said solemnly, "but it is the navy's bounden duty to fight against pirates, and I will not target you because of your past actions. Open up! ”
"Really? It just so happens that I also want to measure the level of the veteran Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"
Adrian narrowed his eyes slightly, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Lieutenant General Gumir is one of the veteran lieutenant generals in the navy. He is proficient in armed haki and knowledge haki. His superb two-sword style swordsmanship is second to none in such a large navy. (Note)
Without relying on the fruit's ability, Lieutenant General Gumir can barely be regarded as the ceiling of combat power at the level of an ordinary Navy lieutenant general.
"Then first, let the soldiers leave immediately!"
Negativity ghost!
A large number of illusory ghosts appeared out of thin air from the atmosphere, and with lightning speed, penetrated the bodies of all the navy on the deck of the naval battleship.
Vice Admiral Gumir and his colonel adjutant were the only two naval forces that remained standing. This was also because they had activated their Hakiki Aura in advance and avoided the attack of the Negative Ghost.
"White Ghost! How dare you——"
"Calm down! No one is injured!"
Lieutenant General Gumil shouted angrily and stopped the adjutant's words.
As a Vice Admiral of the Navy and the main person in charge of this operation, Lieutenant General Gumir naturally mastered a large amount of information about the capabilities of the White Ghost in advance. These were compiled and reported by Lieutenant General Sakaski after his personal experience. It’s done!
Lieutenant General Gumir knew very well that White Ghost had mastered a terrifying fruit ability that could instantly make the enemy lose their will to fight!
Seeing the large number of passive naval soldiers kneeling on the deck at this time, Lieutenant General Gumil felt a heartfelt admiration for Sakaski.
I really don’t know how Lieutenant General Sakaski escaped such an unexpected attack by White Ghost...
However, it is still too difficult for these naval soldiers who have not mastered Haki to deal with the white ghost. At this time, it is a good idea to let them withdraw directly...
Several thoughts passed through his mind quickly. Lieutenant General Gumil simultaneously drew out the sword from his waist, holding one in each hand, and stared at the calm white ghost in front of him.
"White Ghost! Let me teach you about your swordsmanship!"
Swish—
Two extremely fast white swords swung out from the hands of Lieutenant General Gumir, forming a huge cross shape in mid-air, and struck directly at Adrian.
Faced with such a powerful sword energy, Adrian's figure disappeared instantly, leaving only the warship deck where he was originally, and two deep and huge cracks were directly cut by the cross sword energy.
At the same time, Adrian appeared behind Lieutenant General Gumil.
The snow was raised high, and there was a faint glow of armed domineering covering it. With an unstoppable momentum, it struck down boldly!

The third update is in the evening.
Note: In fact, in the original book, Lieutenant General Gumil is Zefa's disciple... During the time of Roger's execution, there was a scene where Zefa educated him. It is obvious that Gumil was still a member of the elite training camp at this time... …
However, with Gumil's appearance... this is really unacceptable, so this book sets Gumil as a veteran navy lieutenant general, and the rest has no influence.
