Chapter 456 Target: Moby Dick!
Obtain the [Devil Fruit Deprivation Card] and directly expand the target range of the [Devil Fruit Fusion Card] several times.
Many Devil Fruits that were not considered at all in the past have also been re-incorporated into the plan.
[Devil Fruit Deprivation Card] is related to the subsequent ability upgrade of the ghost fruit, and there is no room for Adrian's carelessness.
But currently on Toriyama Island, even if there are 10,000 target fruits in his heart, he cannot collect them at all.
Adrian put aside the [Devil Fruit Deprivation Card] matter for the time being, preparing to consider it in detail after the incident on Toriyama Island was over.
Take a deep breath and let go of all the distracting thoughts in your mind.
Adrian turned his attention to another equally important thing!
Complete the S-level random mission [The World's Greatest Swordsman] and obtain a world-class legendary degree in the swordsman category.
what does that mean?
This means that the advanced mission [Famous to the World] of the 100th-level [Sword Master] has completed all the side mission objectives!
[【Famous to the World】Task requirements: 1. Visit hundreds of strong swordsmen of the swordsman level and above, and exchange swordsmanship skills with each other. The current progress is 284/100; 2. Obtain a world-class swordsman-related qualification. Legendary, current progress is 1/1. 】
[Detected that the level 100 advanced mission [Famous in the World] has been completed! 】
[Do you want to complete the task and advance your career? 】
The professional advancement of [Juggernaut] was originally the goal that Adrian had always wanted to achieve.
Even the mission progress of [Famous World] can still be continuously accumulated upwards.
But having completed all the mission objectives, Adrian was not ready to waste time on this mission anymore.
Looking at the panel, Adrian was preparing to directly proceed with the task settlement.
At this moment, several prompt messages suddenly appeared on the panel again.
【hint! hint! 】
[If the mission [Famous to the World] is completed, the total personal level will exceed level 101! 】
[The total personal level exceeds level 100, and the regular level 100 advancement mission [Species Metamorphosis] will directly fail! 】
[Do you want to continue to settle the task? 】
Um?
Adrian frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the several prompts on the panel.
If the [Famous World] mission is completed, will the [Species Transformation] mission directly fail?
After thinking for a moment, Adrian asked the panel in his mind.
‘What’s the difference between career mission advancement and regular level 100 advancement? ’
A prompt message appeared again on the panel.
[Advance to level 100 through professional tasks, and you will get basic professional upgrade bonus]
[Advancing through regular level 100 advancement tasks will condense personal exclusive abilities or expertise]
Looking at the reply message given on the panel, Adrian's inner thoughts of upgrading suddenly stopped like a horse being held tightly by the reins.
The prompt information given by the panel is quite intuitive.
Now directly advance to [Juggernaut], and you will only get the most basic career upgrade bonus, which is the vitality bonus, the strength, agility, and intelligence attribute bonuses, as well as free attribute points and skill points.
As for the attribute percentage bonuses, resistance bonuses, and the most important "extraordinary bonuses" - [Extraordinary Physique] and [Extraordinary Power] obtained when breaking through level 80.
None of it.
Upgrading to level 100 through [Sword Master] is only to level 100.
There will be no qualitative changes.
‘…’
Adrian suddenly felt quite speechless.
‘What the panel means is that you can now directly complete the [Famous World] mission and advance to level 100 Sword Master. ’
‘In terms of strength, he is only a little bit stronger. At best, he can be regarded as a bigger swordsman. ’
‘And if you really want to get the maximum strength bonus, you must complete [species transformation]? ! ’
If I had known this, I wouldn’t have expected it!
A pure career upgrade is basically equivalent to a disguised weakening. Who would settle the [Juggernaut] mission?
Adrian suddenly felt unhappy, and his original good mood was washed away a lot.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Adrian, who was in a bad mood, closed the panel directly.
During the time he was processing the mission rewards.
Mihawk also completely recovered from the experience of being defeated.
In his heart, he repeated the two sentences Bai Ghost had just said several times.
Mihawk's eagle eyes, full of complex emotions, became determined and sharp again, and his whole person seemed to have received a spiritual baptism.
"The strongest swordsman in the world?"
Mihawk slowly stroked his cross sword, which was broken to the point where only the hilt was left. His weak tone was full of unswerving charm.
"I will not continue to fail until I defeat you!"
"Really?"
Adrian raised his eyes and looked at the other person, his tone indifferent, without any emotional expression.
[Virtual Face] In the two dark holes between the eyes, two red lights suddenly lit up, and the domineering power of seeing and hearing was turned on.
Adrian's figure changed and disappeared from the top of the peak.
A moment later, when he reappeared on the peak, he already held the final prize of the sword trial in his right hand——
White Knife·Night.
"What a good knife."
Adrian held the white sword "Ye" in his right arm, swung the sword gently, and the sharp blade whistled low in the air.
Whether it was the [Sword Master] ability possessed by the great swordsman or the [Flexible Tool Usage], he quickly became familiar with the giant cross sword in his hand.
Adrian waved the White Saber Night, pulling out a gorgeous sword flower in the air. Then he opened his right hand, and the White Saber Night came out and flew straight to Mihawk's position.
laugh!
The extremely sharp T-shaped blade was thrust straight in front of Mihawk.
"From now on, take this knife and challenge me."
Adrian said in a calm voice.
"..."
Mihawk's expression was extremely complicated.
In fact, he already liked the weapon Bai Dao Ye very much, and he always had a strong feeling in his heart that "this sword is destined to me."
If White Ghost hadn't unexpectedly appeared at this sword trial meeting, this white sword, Ye, would eventually fall into his hands.
But now...
"Don't think I'm giving alms, I'm just not used to this kind of cross sword."
Adrian looked at Mihawk and said in a calm voice.
"If you are interested, you can give me a famous sword in the future."
Without saying a word, Mihawk pulled the white sword Ye out of the ground and carried it behind his back.
"I will."
It means that you are really going to give me a big sharp knife in the future, or...
The ultimate sharp knife?
Adrian raised his brows, but did not express any opinion on Mihawk's words.
"I would like to remind you in advance, if you are not fully prepared, don't challenge me rashly. It is a waste of my time."
Mihawk said in a deep voice: "I know."
"Then, let me set two basic challenge goals for you."
Adrian touched his chin.
"First, refine the white sword Night into a black sword."
Mihawk nodded. In this battle with the white ghost, he had already determined that the demon sword in the opponent's hand, the Second Generation Ghost Blade, was definitely a black sword that he had personally refined.
Therefore, it is also his established plan to refine the white sword and night into a black sword.
Adrian continued unhurriedly: "Second, after defeating Shanks, come and challenge me again."
Mihawk was a little confused, "...Shanks?"
"That's right, Shanks, the captain of the red-haired pirates, the Straw Hat boy."
Adrian's tone was pleasant.
"If you defeat him, you will almost have the strength to stand in front of me."
As the current world's greatest swordsman, Adrian doesn't want to waste time on constantly dealing with Mihawk's challenges.
The main reason is that Mihawk at this stage cannot trigger the challenge mission at all.
Engage with it.
Don't say that you can't get enough wool.
You must always be careful not to use too much energy to avoid killing him with one knife.
If that's the case, Adrian might as well find a comparable opponent for Mihawk.
Anyway, in the semi-finals of the Sword Trial Tournament a few days ago, Mihawk and Shanks also fought back and forth.
At least before Shanks lost his left hand and established himself as the fourth Sea Emperor.
The strength of these two people is comparable!
As for throwing Mihawk to Shanks, what did Shanks think...
Who cares what he thinks.
Mihawk secretly kept the two requests made by White Ghost in mind.
In fact, even if White Ghost didn't propose it, these two things were within the scope of Mihawk's plan.
Shanks will also be his biggest stepping stone in challenging the White Ghost!
Donate the knife and throw away the pot, all in one go.
Adrian also lost the idea of continuing to communicate with Mihawk.
Entering the ghost state, Adrian's body rose slightly, a ray of red light flashed in his eyes, and the domineering aura covered the entire Toriyama Island and continued to spread towards the outer sea.
‘Ready to leave? ’
Mihawk looked at the flying white ghosts, and an idea came to his mind.
Just then.
Having found his target, Adrian removed his [virtual face] and revealed his true face.
At the same time, the mighty and abyss-like spiritual pressure was continuously released from his body, and the suffocating pressure immediately covered the lonely peak and moved towards the rest of Toriyama Island. .
In an instant, the situation changed color, and all the scenes on Toriyama Island were rendered into an almost pale color by the endless spiritual pressure.
Mihawk, who was the closest, was also under the strongest pressure.
Fortunately, I had had brief contact with spiritual pressure before, so it didn't have such a big mental impact.
Mihawk took out the White Sword Night from behind, inserted it upside down in front of him, and held the huge handle of the White Sword Night with both hands to stabilize his body.
Looking at the white ghost releasing spiritual pressure in mid-air unscrupulously.
In Mihawk's sharp eagle eyes, a flash of fierce and passionate fighting spirit flashed, but then he hid it deeply.
Adrian stood on the horizon, looking down at Mihawk.
"Hawkeye Joracol Mihawk.
"Before I say goodbye, I want to give you a message.
"The greatest swordsman in the world? What's the point?
"The true goal of a swordsman should be to be the strongest in the world!"
As soon as the words fell, Adrian rose into the sky.
Goal——
Moby-Dick!
