{Rak! That was arrogant quest title!}

A message suddenly popped up on the panel.

And as Adrian accepted the quest, Chinjao became enraged.

He roared: "Yargh… Who do you think you are, kid? I'm Chinjao!"

"I know," Adrian raised an eyebrow and looked at him with contempt. "The former Great Pirate Chinjao, the Chinjao who had his drill head smashed in by Garp. 'The Chinjao' who spends his days crying and whining on his Jade Ice Bed. Oh and also the pillar for the Kano Country and Happo Navy!"

"You—"

"To be honest, I admire you for having the courage to go back on your word. But, that's about all I can praise you for."

"I—"

"Enough of your trash talk. Are you ready to go to hell?"

Adrian's eyes flashed with a crimson light as he opened his Observation Haki.

His figure flashed at an extreme speed, and the Yubashiri in his waist unsheathed. A ferocious slash was headed straight for Chinjao's head.

"You little bastard!" Chinjao was so angry that his body trembled. His eyes widened with bloodshot veins. "Don't get too cocky with me!"

A brilliant black glow quickly appeared on Chinjao's uneven, shiny skull. He used his legs to propel himself into the air and directly crashed his iron head, covered with Armament Haki, into the sharp Yubashiri.

"Eight-Charge Fist: Arm-Head!"

{It was actually Eight Important Point Fist: Arm Head! In the database ans all.}

Ding——

The moment the Yubashiri collided with the head, it produced an extremely crisp sound of metal colliding.

The next second, Adrian was knocked into the air by Chinjao's monstrous strength, and Chinjao was also blasted into the ice on the ground by Adrian's slash.

Just then, Adrian, who was flying in the air, adjusted his body in time. The Ryūō Haki covered the Yubashiri, and he swung out a flying slash with an extremely bright light.

A powerful white sword slash fell from the sky, heading straight for Chinjao.

Although Chinjao's strength and fighting spirit had declined significantly after being defeated by Garp, he was not so easy to defeat. His wealth of battle experience from the past was still there.

"Eight-Charge Fist: Boisterous Dance!"

Chinjao flipped over in the air and landed on the ice surface with his head. He spun rapidly like a top, easily dodging the sword beam.

In addition, Chinjao used the centrifugal force generated by "Rotation Head" to propel himself back into the air in a strange arc. His "Drill less Head" covered in Armament Haki once again charged at Adrian.

"One Sword Style: Heavenly Strike!"

Adrian took a deep breath and focused his eyes. He coated the Yubashiri sword in Ryūō Haki, gripping the hilt with both hands and unleashing a full-powered slash.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosive forces collided, generating an immensely powerful shockwave. Several deafening roars erupted in the sky, and the overflowing waves of energy even lifted the thick icy chunks several meters high.

"White Ghost!" Cai Dou, whose face was blown by ice and snow, spoke with endless dread, "I thought I had already overestimated him, but unexpectedly, apart from being a Devil Fruit user, he's also a powerful swordsman!"

The Eight Treasures Navy lackeys standing on the side were also discussing fervently. Someone shouted, "Boss Dou, should we..."

"Stay calm and watch! This level of combat is not something we can get involved in!" Cai Dou coldly glanced at the Eight Treasures Navy member who spoke.

Just then, the wind and snow dispersed in the air, revealing the tall and robust figure of Chinjao.

What was particularly eye-catching was the vivid red blood flowing on that uneven, bumpy head, contrasting sharply with the surrounding pure white snowscape!

Adrian's full-force strike just now had injured this once renowned 500 million Berry pirate!

Blood flowed down from his forehead, sliding down his face, dripping on the snow, coloring the white snow red.

"Yahohooho! Still a swordsman, huh?" Chinjao touched the blood on his face. With a tingling sensation on his forehead as if from needles, accompanied by the long-lost sensation of hot blood rushing to his heart, he exclaimed, "The little devil named White Ghost, I really underestimated you!"

"Enough nonsense!"

Adrian had no intention of cooperating with Chinjao to enhance the performance.

Battle is just battle!

All enemies must be killed!

The Yubashiri shone again, and Adrian instantly entered the state of Free Ghost, rushing towards Chinjao at a speed that ordinary people couldn't react to.

Chinjao's pupils narrowed, and a powerful Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body once again.

However, the Conqueror's Haki that could at least temporarily suppress the opponent had no effect on Adrian.

In the blink of an eye, Adrian approached, and the Yubashiri covered in the Haoshoku Haki of Ryūō slashed towards Chinjao once again.

Chinjao's right hand instantly covered with the dark Armament Haki, five fingers clenched into a fist, and with a thunderous and ear-piercing speed, it quickly aproached in front of the Yubashiri.

"Eight Impacts Fist!"

However, the Haoshoku Haki of Ryūō was not so easily stopped.

Chinjao felt a sharp, intense pain as if his fist had been pricked by needles. Caught off guard, he instinctively pulled back his fist.

Seizing this opportunity, Adrian's longsword continued its thrust, and the sharp blade quickly swept across Chinjao's waist and abdomen.

Even though the latter timely used Haki to protect himself at the critical moment, he was still fiercely sent flying by the sword, with an incredibly shocking visual impact.

Adrian naturally wouldn't miss the chance to beat a man when he's down. Taking advantage of Chinjao being sent flying, he entered the state of Free Ghost, following him like a shadow and appearing above him.

Sonic Slash!

The sword energy, with an unstoppable momentum, swept towards the enemy!

Too fast!

Chinjao's pupils contracted, unable to evade in time.

Swish—thud!

The snowy-white blade, extremely sharp, broke through Chinjao's defenses, leaving a brutal and enormous wound across his chest. Blood gushed out continuously, revealing glimpses of pulsating internal organs!

This was the ultimate attack power that a Swordmaster took pride in, capable of severing anything with the aid of the 'Breath of All Things!'

However, such an injury did not have a significant negative impact on Chinjao.

The intense pain triggered his ferocious aura.

In a state of extreme anger, Chinjao roared suddenly, disregarding his injuries. His whole body soared into the air, concentrating all his spirit and strength into a single point on his head, then violently smashing towards the opponent.

"Eight-Charge Fist Secret Technique: Drill-less Dragon's Drill-less Bit!"

In Adrian's perception, given his speed and reaction capability, completely avoiding this strike was not difficult, but there was simply no need.

In his fury, Chinjao concentrated all his strength on his head, but at the same time, he completely abandoned the defense of other parts!

Adrian merely tilted his body slightly, evading the most powerful "Drill-less Bit," while exchanging a brief gaze with the falling Chinjao.

Yubashiri lightly lifted, cutting through Chinjao's body from bottom to top, and blood splattered on the ground.

Chinjao, dead!
