Chapter 189 Top expertise from the world’s strongest man!
Adrian looked calm and said with a smile: "Yes, Whitebeard, do you want to continue?"
Whitebeard's eyes condensed, and he burst out with invisible overlord-colored domineering energy, condensing an extremely powerful momentum and pressing towards Adrian in the air.
In the contrast of such a huge difference in height and location, Whitebeard actually appears to be a bit taller!
"Ghost kid, do you think your ghost tricks can hurt me?"
"Of course I don't think so," Adrian smiled casually, "However, if you want to gain the upper hand over me, it is not something you can do in a short while."
In fact, Adrian's fully-leveled [Ghost Body] is really capable of restraining super-powerful range attacks like "Shock Fruit" and "Wind Wind Fruit".
Most ability users simply cannot attach armament-colored Haki within this level of range attack!
Whitebeard pondered for a while. With the help of the flexible ghost fruit, it was indeed very difficult to capture this kid as soon as possible.
"Besides, we made an agreement just before the battle."
Adrian took out a spare pocket watch from his pocket and flicked the metal case of the pocket watch a few times.
"This 'challenge' will only last for thirty-five minutes."
Adrian challenged Whitebeard in order to complete the task and get rewards, but he didn't really want to compare his strength with Whitebeard at this time.
He is flexible and will naturally maximize his interests.
For the sake of previously reporting the existence of "MISS Ba Jin" and "Edward Weibull", Whitebeard also positively agreed to this special challenge with a time limit.
"Ghost kid, it turns out you had this idea before the battle started!" Whitebeard said, "Now, you are the first new pirate to successfully challenge Whitebeard!"
Adrian laughed and said: "One day, I will turn this [challenge] into a [duel]!"
"Gu la la la..."
Whitebeard let out a hearty laugh.
"I'll look forward to that day, ghost kid."
The battle between the two came to an end at this moment.
Whitebeard returned to the Moby-Dick, and the huge whale ship slowly sailed away from Palm Island.
At the strong request of the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard gave up the already unpleasant trip to Zou and headed for the nearest underground intelligence handover island.
There they will search for traces of MISS Ba Jin and Edward Weibull who are hiding in Tibet.
The Whitebeard Pirates may have a real "captain's son" in the future.
Adrian stood alone on the cliff of Palm Island. He glanced at Whitebeard's S-level challenge mission, which already showed "Completed" status.
He stretched out his hands, breathed hot air into his palms, rubbed them a few more times, and chose to settle the task.
[S-level challenge mission [Whitebeard] has been completed! 】
[You gain 2.33 billion experience points! 】
[You get a reward: randomly select an enemy’s skill or expertise]
[Tip: Due to the large size and ability differences between the host and Edward Newgate, some extractable skills have automatically adjusted their effects]
[Randomizing...Drawing completed]
[Please choose one of the following five abilities as a reward:]
[1: [Be my son] - Skill: Extend your palm with a kind face and say to others, ‘Be my son, XX’. The target will recognize you as their father. The success rate of skills is affected by psychological state, level suppression, intelligence attributes, legend, etc. 】
[2: [Unparalleled Monster Power] - Expertise: For every level you upgrade, the strength attribute will be an additional +5, and the endurance attribute will be an additional +3. 】
[3: [Armed Color Domineering]-Skill: Omitted]
[4: [Legendary Naginata Specialization] - Skill: Passive skill, when using the naginata to attack, the strength attribute will increase by 10%, the attack power will increase by 20%, and the chance of triggering additional attacks will increase by 20%]
[5: [Human Mutant] - Expertise: Each time the level increases, the strength and endurance attributes will be an additional +4, and the height will be constant at 666 cm. 】
"I'm going! Explosive! Two specialties, three abilities! And the quality of the draws this time is quite high!"
After taking a closer look, the first thing Adrian eliminated was [Armed Color Haki].
The armed color domineering that already overlaps with one's own abilities and has been upgraded to the full level does not need to be covered with Whitebeard's armed color. It is simply unnecessary.
The next thing that was eliminated was the [Legendary Naginata Specialization].
Although Adrian is a swordsman, his ability has nothing to do with the naginata.
And he has absolutely no interest in anything like the naginata.
This is not the Middle Ages of horseback riding and slashing. We should save on long weapons!
The two specialties that appear must be one of the two.
The growth rate of [Unparalleled Monster Power] is biased towards strength.
Whitebeard's terrifying power is also very famous in this sea.
When war breaks out in the future, the old and disabled Whitebeard will even be able to perform the terrifying operation of "stopping the ship with one hand"!
This also attracted a tough-headed orange-haired boy who tried to imitate it, but was directly crushed to pieces by the tracks of the Fortress Tank...
How can humans charge tanks?
The growth rate of [Human Mutant] is more balanced, while focusing on the growth of strength and endurance attributes.
It's like a third upgraded version of the [Strong Body] feat that Adrian already possesses.
What is a bit worrying is that [human mutants] also have a constant height limit of 6.66 meters.
This powerful feat originated from Whitebeard, even if it is extracted from the panel, it still maintains the same height as the original owner.
If he didn't take into account the existence of two powerful specialties, Adrian still wanted to choose the skill "Be My Son".
I recall that he once shouted this sentence to a group of sons.
Judging from the introduction of the skill alone, there is no doubt that this is a very incredible skill.
Forcing other people to form a father-son relationship can truly be called a wild father's magical skill.
But the sad thing is that it is also affected by many factors.
If it were a causal law ability that was sure to hit, Adrian would definitely choose it without a second thought!
Just like the strange setting of "100% chance of being caught with an empty hand", any being who cannot catch the sword will be instantly killed!
Anyone who doesn't call me daddy will die!
But it's a pity that this skill is not a magic skill of causality...
After thinking for a moment, Adrian took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and made a choice.
[You gain expertise: [Unparalleled Strange Power]! 】
Adrian's figure suddenly stiffened, and a mixed feeling of coldness and heat exploded in his body.
He gritted his teeth tightly, and the nerve endings all over his body were transmitting the severe pain that seemed to be broken and reconnected, reconnected and broken again to the center of his brain, and his whole body almost convulsed with pain.
The pain seemed to last for a century.
Adrian finally felt that the severe pain was gradually reducing. He was breathing heavily, and his whole body was wet, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
"Power 817!"
"Endurance 469!"
"If you have the guts, give me a full set!"
"Baby!"
I need my second dose of vaccine today.
