Chapter 73
With a deafening roar, a giant Golden Buddha appeared on the edge of Thirteenth Peninsula.
The Buddha Form is engulfed in flames, its Vajra-like form glaring fiercely!

Finally, regarding the extra chapters.
Because the initial subscription did not reach 2000, there will be no extra chapters for the initial subscription bonus.
However, the rule of adding an extra chapter for every 100 average subscriptions still applies, so this is 19 chapters short.
The total amount of tips received exceeds 111,000 (roughly equivalent to the amount of tips received by a top-tier player).
The cumulative monthly votes have exceeded 600 (91 yesterday alone, everyone is very strong and supportive).
The total bonus chapters from tips and monthly tickets amount to 37+6 (one chapter for every 3000 tips + one chapter for every 100 monthly tickets).
Previously, I paid back 16+3 (3 chapters released after the initial release).
19 per 100 orders
So I currently owe 37 + 6 - 16 - 3 + 19 = 43 chapters, right?
In conclusion
I will continue to update at least three times a day to make up for the missed updates as soon as possible!
That said, if I write 10,000 chapters a day... it seems like I can just make up for the missed chapters by the end of this month?
[Chapter 131 S-Rank Challenge: [The Sengoku the Buddha]]
The moment the Golden Great Buddha came into Adrian's sight, a mission notification sound suddenly came from the panel.
You have triggered the S-Rank Challenge [The Sengoku the Buddha]!
[Mission Introduction: Marine Admiral are the highest-ranking military personnel under the Marine Headquarters and the World Government. They are top-tier powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the sea, possessing unparalleled strength. Sengoku the Buddha is one of the best among them. Are you sure you want to fight him?]

[Mission Hint: He's stronger right now]

[Persist for 10 minutes: 50,000 experience points]
[Persist for 30 minutes: 50,000 experience points, Legend Points +1, randomly draw one of the following Specialty or skills from the Sengoku the Buddha]
Adrian accepted the mission, his eyes gleaming slightly. "There are even challenging missions like this?! This level of experience reward... is this the intimidating power of Marine Admiral?"
The Admiral of the Marine Headquarters are the true top bosses on this sea, and this is undeniable even if the timeline is stretched to eight hundred years!
Furthermore, Sengoku the Buddha is the future Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, the only person in the entire Marine Corps to possess Conqueror's Haki, and his strength is unfathomable!
Recalling Admiral Kizaru's performance when he came to the Sabaody Archipelago to suppress the Pirates, he was all about "cuteness" and "Supernovas" at the drop of a hat, and Admiral aura of intimidation was at its maximum!
Thinking of this, Adrian couldn't help but glance silently at Yellow Boss was still seriously injured and unable to get up.
Why can't Kizaru trigger a quest at this stage?
Even just any old thing will do.
That's so unimpressive, Elder...
"White Ghost, this is the Sabaody Archipelago!" Sengoku arrived from afar, his body radiating a dazzling Buddhist light, and roared angrily, "How dare you offend the Celestial Dragons' dignity here! Prepare to Impel Down!"
Adrian entered Ghostification state, soaring into the air and looking down at Sengoku.
"Marine Admiral the Sengoku the Buddha, are you saying that if this weren't the Sabaody Archipelago, I could persecute Celestial Dragons at will?"
Sengoku was momentarily speechless, then coldly snorted, "A pointless exchange of words!"
Without another word, he stomped his foot heavily, unleashing a powerful burst of energy. As the explosion resounded, his massive golden figure shot into the sky.
However, what greeted him from the sky was a vast, seemingly endless army of white Ghost!
White Hollow: The Heart-Ravaging Maze!
White Hollow, gathering like clouds and mist, flickered out from the void, suddenly spreading out and covering almost half of Thirteenth Peninsula, turning everything in sight white.
This was the first time Adrian had created the White Hollow with almost all his might. Facing Marine Admiral, he dared not be careless in the slightest!
However, the next instant, a scene transmitted through his Observation Haki, which allowed him to Future Sight, caused Adrian's pupils to shrink abruptly.
Demon Swordsman!
Adrian instantly used his skill.
A White Hollow appeared out of thin air where he had been standing.
The next instant, the White Ghost was struck by an extremely powerful golden shockwave and vanished silently into the air.
What a tricky displacement ability!
With his feet on the Geppo, Sengoku floated in the air, his brows slightly furrowed. He had somehow returned to his normal size, and the dazzling golden light around him dissipated, revealing a black suit and a white cloak of Justice Cloak.
Adrian's figure appeared above the Heart-Ravaging Maze.
"To deal with a small-time Pirates like me, would a dignified Marine Admiral need to resort to such petty tricks as Sneak Attack from blind spots?"
"A small- Pirates with Bounty of nearly 400 million Beli?" Sengoku tossed aside his Justice Cloak, clenched his Fist Bone, and said, "You really don't think much of yourself!"
The next moment, a volcanic eruption of energy rose from the Sengoku the Buddha, making him as dazzling as a blazing sun as he hurtled straight down at Adrian.
Adrian also retaliated, unleashing his own abilities.
At this moment, a network of fire lines composed of Mini Hollow blocked Sengoku's path, while Ghost Energy Cannon were continuously released, forming a dazzling rain of beams that poured down on Sengoku.
A dark aura emanated from Sengoku's entire body, and his honed Armament Haki slowly emerged, forming an indestructible protective shield that blocked any illusory Ghost that tried to penetrate his body and cause Internal Destruction.
A barrage of Sudden Shower -range Ghost Bomb rained down on Sengoku's body, leaving behind shockwaves in his path.
Despite the seemingly devastating Ghost Bomb, Sengoku charged headlong into the defensive line formed by the Heart-Ravaging Maze, smashing through layer after layer of defenses made of White Hollow like a hot knife through butter, and pounced on Adrian.
In the blink of an eye, Sengoku had already advanced several hundred meters, instantly closing the distance between them.
"Truly worthy of Marine Admiral; this level of Armament Haki is utterly unfathomable..."
Adrian glanced at the combat information on the panel and frowned slightly.
At this point, the Sengoku displayed on the panel had all its levels, attributes, abilities, etc., all showing question marks; there was no useful information whatsoever.
After all, Adrian was only level 61 at the time, while Sengoku was undoubtedly Level 100 powerhouse. With such a huge level difference, it was normal that no information could be gleaned from him.
But after witnessing Sengoku's incredibly reckless fighting style, Adrian had a sudden thought and guessed that this strategist intended to engage in close combat, so he couldn't help but curl his lip.
"You think it's that easy to fight me in close combat?"
Adrian snorted and immediately switched to a kite-like fighting style.
The Marine Admiral are indeed top-tier warriors on this vast ocean, but Adrian also possesses his own advantages.
Intelligence attribute of over 1000 points!
Absolutely top-tier Devil Fruit development!
The Future Sight Haki!
Adrian never dared to dream of defeating Sengoku, but he himself would never be easily defeated. This was the powerful confidence that his multiple abilities gave him!
Maintaining his Ghostification form, Adrian's main body continuously used the Demon Swordsman's abilities to shift positions within the Heart-Ravaging Maze, while simultaneously manipulating the Ghost army to besiege Sengoku, constantly depleting Sengoku's Armament Haki and stamina.
"Fighting like this will drag on for too long."
Sengoku shattered the giant Ghost blocking his way with a single palm strike, and frowned as he looked at the White Ghost that was still circling around.
[Chapter 132 Ghost VS Buddha Form]
Even though he had already learned about the abilities of the White Ghost from Sakazuki, Comil, and others, Sengoku himself had no specific experience fighting the White Ghost.
However, as Marine Admiral and an unparalleled powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the sea, Sengoku was well aware that judging a person's strength on this vast ocean was simply a matter of considering the following aspects.
Physical attributes, Devil Fruit, Haki, Swordplay.
In Sengoku's view, White Ghost's physical attributes were not outstanding; limited by his age, his mastery of Haki should also be relatively weak; his Swordplay level of Swordmaster was nothing in the eyes of a truly top-tier expert.
The only thing that truly deserves attention is the Hollow-Hollow Fruit, which has been developed to an incredible degree!
If he could seize the opportunity to get close, Sengoku was confident that he could end the battle immediately.
But the battle at this moment seems to be dragging into a protracted war.
"I'll have to put in some effort..."
Sengoku took a deep breath and released his Mythical Zoan ability. Every cell in his body suddenly transformed into a pure golden color, and a pale golden radiance swept across the entire area!
The next moment.
Sengoku's already tall body instantly expanded, transforming into a golden giant several meters tall, with dense fleshy topknots on his head and his skin becoming as shiny as metal, making him look like a giant, moving Buddha Form!
