Seeing that white, illusory ghost that blasted a huge, gaping hole through the crewman's chest, Captain Sato's pupils violently constricted.
He slowly stood up, looking at Adrian with solemn eyes.
"You're White Ghost?"
"Pirate captain, tell me straight, do you know the location of [Zou]?"
Sato's arms instantly rose, transforming into a pair of smoking steel cannons, continuously bombarding Adrian with cannon shells.
Several flashes of sword light crossed the air, and the aggressively incoming cannon shells were cut cleanly in half from the center by the exceptionally sharp Skillful Grade, crashing onto the ship's deck and thoroughly neutralized.
Before Sato could unleash his next round of attacks, Adrian flashed forward directly.
A blur of blade light swept past.
The notorious "Weapon Sato," a pirate captain with a bounty reaching 280 million Beli, was directly pared down into a human log with only his torso remaining.
"Captain Sato!"
"Lord Captain!"
The surrounding pirates immediately let out a chorus of exclamations.
"Last time," Adrian swept his gaze across the surroundings, his eyes still incomparably icy, "who knows the location of Zou?"
A tall, thin-bodied man bit his bullet and stepped out. "I know! Can you spare me after I tell you?"
This man was precisely the "Rina" whom Captain Sato had just mentioned.
Adrian said, "You don't have the qualifications to negotiate with me, just absolute trash who only knows how to traffic people."
"Then—"
Swoosh!
Yet another flying slash accompanied a high-splashing arc of crimson blood, and Rina's left arm directly detached from his body.
This second-in-command of the Weapons Pirates reached out with his right hand to cover the continuously spurging stump on the left side of his body, emitting a painful wail.
"I've never liked torturing people; truly, there's no secret important enough to warrant harsh interrogation."
