Chapter 192: Beating Up Kaido

Ripples spread through the void as the Abyss was stowed away in the invulnerable fortress.

Adrian entered a ghostly state, standing steadily in mid-air, his eyes calmly fixed on the dragon-transformed Kaido of the Beasts.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Kaido

"Hohoho…" The dragon let out a thunderous laugh, "I don't care about these troublesome pleasantries… hic!"

Adrian raised an eyebrow at the loud thunderous burp; he couldn't just ignore it.

In his dragon form, it was impossible to discern Kaido's true state, nor could one glean any useful information from his grotesquely terrifying dragon head.

However, a drunken Kaido, even in his fully transformed beast form, was somewhat easier to deal with.

"If you want to kill me, just try it!"

"Then let's try, die!"

Adrian's response to Kaido's arrogant words was a shockwave emitting a mysterious blue light.

It was Adrian's Ghost cannon!

The powerful explosive energy of the ghostly shockwave struck Kaido dragon's chin like a steel fist, without reservation.

The immense force of the Ghost cannon caused Kaido's dragon head to tilt back, his upper dragon body rearing up at several degrees.

"What's the use of having such a huge body if it's only good for being a target?"

Adrian raised his right hand, and a blue glow formed in his palm, quickly expanding and radiating endless light, taking the initial form of another Ghost cannon.

"That's why, even after becoming a dragon, you couldn't beat the Pirate King. Who are you trying to scare?"

To some weaker, less determined enemies, the sight of the massive blue dragon was enough to terrify them into submission.

To the little fox, Kaido was an unbeatable monster.

But to Adrian, who had fought several top-tier masters in this tumultuous sea, Kaido, the Azure Dragon, was just a big, slow-moving target.

After one close-range Ghost cannon, Adrian did not wait for Kaido to recover.

Instead, he launched another Ghost cannon at the rearing Azure Dragon!

Given the massive dragon head, precise aiming wasn't necessary to ensure the cannon hit its mark.

Kaido, not yet fully adjusted, saw the blue glow reflected in his brass-colored vertical pupils. His heavily scaled dragon face took another direct hit from the Ghost cannon.

The overwhelming force of the attack made Kaido's scaled beast face distort.

In a daze, Kaido felt as though his drunkenness had sobered somewhat.

Seeing that Kaido, who took two direct hits to the face, was unharmed except for a slightly twisted beast face without losing a single scale, Adrian couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

With the power of the Mythical Azure Dragon Fruit, Kaido had extraordinary stamina, endurance, resistance, and recovery abilities.

Even though Kaido was not yet the great Emperor of the Seas, the Beast Pirates had been established for quite some time!

Being able to suppress numerous ancient Zoan-type fruit users like 'Jack the Drought', 'King the Conflagration' and 'Plague Queen', Kaido's Azure Dragon Fruit was undoubtedly developed to near or even fully awakened levels!

Such a level of the Azure Dragon Fruit brought unparalleled defensive capabilities, far beyond imagination!

Combined with Kaido's naturally extraordinary physique.

Even as a cumbersome, slow-moving target, it was at least made of secondary adamantium!

"You're really tough and durable!"

"The most common and most annoying type of physical monster!"

"If a single Ghost cannon won't work, then..."

"All turrets of the world, unite!"

With a thought, several dozen glowing white points appeared beside Adrian, rapidly expanding into humanoid forms.

Each 'Adrian' floated in the air, coldly gazing at the azure giant dragon in the sky.

In the next moment, countless slender blue beams erupted from the 'Adrians,' surging towards the giant dragon with unstoppable momentum.

The dense rain of ghostly beams struck Kaido's tightly packed scales, exploding into brilliant blue fireworks on his dragon body.

Over time, the accumulated power of the ghostly beams finally exceeded Kaido's defensive threshold.

The almost violent Ghost cannon barrage seeped into the gaps between the scales, into the muscles below, and into the bone wrapped in muscle!

In an instant, scales shattered, and dragon blood rained from the sky.

Fragments of azure scales mixed with sticky blood dyed the turbulent ocean below a shade of crimson.

Fish-shaped sea beasts, like glutton sensing a feast, gathered below, oblivious to the terrifying battle above, vying for the blood and scales falling from the giant dragon.

Agony!

A horrifying pain that made the dragon involuntarily go mad spread throughout its body!

Roar—

An angry roar erupted from the azure dragon's mouth as its chest and abdomen swelled, then surged into its throat, causing its long dragon maw to swell and deform.

"Bolo Breath!" {熱息, Heat Breath}

A dazzling beam erupted from Kaido's mouth, scorching and extending for thousands of meters, aiming at Adrian's position.

However, the scorching breath, powerful enough to evaporate mountains and boil seas, was intercepted by the countless beams of the Ghost cannon before it reached Adrian.

"Million turrets, million glories!"

Adrian raised his hands, creating dozens more mimetic ghost, increasing the frequency of the Ghost cannon barrage. Each beam hitting Kaido's scales and igniting blue sparks.

With a painful cry, the azure dragon fell from the sky, crashing into the turbulent sea below.

The surrounding water evaporated into mist from the dragon's body heat, creating a vast fog.

A crimson gleam flashed in Adrian's eyes. Predicting the future, he extended his hand, unleashing his ghostly powers.
