Chapter 93
Men are sometimes just that strange.
Being called "Dad" by a young woman in her twenties must feel so good that he'd probably be unable to sleep at night.
Although Charlotte Amande's body structure is unique—as a member of the Snake-Neck Tribe, she possesses an unusually long, pale neck that looks somewhat frightening—this depth of her throat—
Uh, cough cough.
What Adrian wanted to say was that although Miss Charlotte Amande was not a member of the human race, apart from their unusually long necks and excessively pale skin, the Snake-Neck Tribe were not much different from ordinary humans.
They even possess more human sexual characteristics than the mermaid ladies on Fish-Man Island!
Moreover, Charlotte Amande was only in her early twenties at the time, in the prime of her youth and beauty.
Wouldn't it be a kind of spiritual enjoyment to be called "Dad" by a girl like that?
At that moment, Amande's expression suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Adrian as if he were looking at a dead man.
"White Ghost, your mother's [needs] are not the basis for your presumptuous and casual behavior in front of me!"
Cracker also raised his famous sword, "Pretzel," and a ferocious smile appeared on the face of the imposing Biscuit Soldier.
"Stop wasting your breath on him, Amande! All Mom wants is White Ghost and his handsome face. Let's just take him back to Totto Land!"
Adrian sighed, trying to steer the conversation back on track.
"Miss Amande, forget about Mr. Cracker, but are you really not willing to call me 'good father'?"
Amande stopped talking nonsense. Without a word, she grabbed the scale-shaped hilt of the Famous Sword "White Fish" hanging at her waist, drew it out with a whoosh, and with a slight flick of her wrist, held the slender White Fish blade horizontally in the air, slowly slashing out with a horizontal slash, while softly chanting.
"Slow Waltz"
With the Prophet of Adrian, he bent down and picked up Louf, channeling the power of [Shave]. A tremendous force erupted from his feet, and he instantly shifted several body lengths in mid-air, nimbly dodging Amande's slow, drawn-out slash.
With a ripple, Louf was absorbed into Lumi's body from the Lead-Gray Pocket Watch Castle.
At that moment, Cracker also charged forward, manipulating his Biscuit Soldier, his famous sword "Pretzel" spinning wildly at an extremely fast speed, while simultaneously launching a swift thrust at Adrian.
"Pretzel!"
A powerful spiral of Sword Aura was released from Cracker's famous sword, carrying an unstoppable momentum, aiming to end the battle with a single strike.
Adrian's figure vanished from his spot in an instant, replaced by a detached, Mimic Ghost. The spiraling Sword Aura pierced through the ground where Adrian had been standing, creating a deep hole in it.
"Miss Amande, you are being far too heartless."
Adrian's voice echoed through the streets.
"I don't know what I did to make you so disrespectful to me; you won't even call me 'Dad'."
With an expression as cold as ice, Amande once again swung his Famous Sword, White Fish, unleashing several slow but powerful Flying Slash, aimed directly at the direction from which the sound came.
"Slow Narrative Ballad!"
Clang--!
Several equally powerful, snow-white slashes descended from the sky, meeting Amande's Flying Slash. The two slashes collided and disintegrated.
Adrian, holding Yubashiri sword, appeared in the sky, looking down at Cracker and Amande below.
"You cookie idiot, watch your manners while Miss Amande and I are talking, unless you desperately need me to help Bigom discipline his family!"
"Let me warn you beforehand, this kind of discipline can be bloody!"
Enraged, Cracker manipulated the biscuit shell, and several more thick arms appeared on his sides in the blink of an eye. The famous sword "Pretzel" in his arms also increased in number as the number of arms increased.
In an instant, Cracker transformed into a six-armed Monster, placing the biscuit shield from his left hand behind his back, and simultaneously gripping the Famous Sword "Pretzel" with all six hands, presenting a formidable and intimidating battle stance.
"Chatterbox newbie, savor the unique flavor of this Pretzel!"
"Six-Layer Pretzel!"
Cracker unleashed his power, leaping into the air and unleashing six incredibly fast spiral thrusts that aimed directly at Adrian from various angles.
The Sword Momentum swept across an area that blocked all escape routes, creating a situation where there was no way to avoid it.
Free Ghost: Firefly Trickster!
However, Adrian's figure suddenly shrank to a size imperceptible to the naked eye, and in an unbelievable way, he successfully broke through Cracker's Sword Momentum encirclement.
"I saw a whole six of these one-of-a-kind Pretzel!"
"Is your math as bad as your brain?"
Adrian instantly appeared behind Cracker, and with a thought, a huge White Hollow appeared beside him.
Cracker, who had experienced countless battles since childhood, also activated his Observation Haki and locked onto Adrian's location almost instantly. He manipulated the Biscuit Armor to turn the direction of his arm.
The six Pretzel that were originally thrusting forward suddenly turned around, and the powerful wave formed by the convergence of the six famous swords launched a powerful thrust backward!
"You've won the prize, Cookie!"
Giant Hollow - Peacemaker!
The Pretzel's deadly drill struck the Peacemaker squarely in the abdomen.
A violent shockwave exploded outwards instantly!
[Chapter 164 The Cracker's Excessive Clapping]
Boom--!!
The whirlwind-like attack pierced straight into the body of the Giant Hollow, the Peacemaker.
The air seemed to pause for a moment, then erupted in a deafening roar and a shockwave that nearly boiled over!
The surface of the streets in the small Misteria Island was instantly crushed and cracked by the powerful shockwave from the explosion of the Peacemaker.
Nearly half of the town was destroyed by this Peacemaker. Countless Pirates fled to the outskirts in agony, but a few unfortunate Pirates were buried under the ruins of the town.
The massive explosion from the Giant Hollow also shattered the six supposedly "one-of-a-kind" Pretzel, restoring them to their original biscuit form.
In his haste, Biscuit Soldier drew the heavy, sturdy biscuit shield from his back and held it in front of him, attempting to withstand the explosive impact of the Peacemaker, but it was all in vain.
In a mere instant, the Biscuit Soldiers, along with the biscuit Sweet Commander [Thousand Hands Cracker] hidden within him, vanished.
All of it was encompassed by the Peacemaker, exploding directly into a dazzling sunset on the horizon.
Even Charlotte Amande, who had just been playing Slow Narrative Ballad a moment ago, couldn't help but pause in surprise.
Cracker, who seemed to find it hard to believe that he was one of the strongest among Charlotte's children, was defeated so easily.
Just then, Adrian suddenly appeared behind Ghost Lady, and his voice, tinged with amusement, rang out.
"Miss Amande, your brother has blown up."
Upon hearing this sound, Amande instantly snapped back to her senses. She turned around and swung her famous sword "White Fish" behind her, unleashing a massive Flying Slash.
Clang--!
Adrian raised his Yubashiri sword in front of him, easily blocking the massive slash from the Ghost Lady.
"Now we've completely broken up with each other, haven't we, Miss Amande?"
Amande, his expression icy, swung his sword again, remaining indifferent and silent.
"That's fine then. In that case, I don't need to maintain such a polite attitude anymore."
Adrian's expression changed abruptly, and he issued a declaration with equal indifference.
"Long-Neck Fish, are you ready to be scaled and deboned?"
The Snake-Neck Tribe wielding the Famous Sword White Fish, is actually Long-Neck Fish...
It seems to make sense.
Amande was instantly filled with rage, his teeth clenched tightly.
When we first met, she politely called me Miss Amande, but now she's turning her back on me and calling me Long-Neck Fish!
You piece of trash!
Just as Amande was preparing to launch another attack on White Ghost, bursts of laughter suddenly came from mid-air, growing louder and louder as time passed.
After the aftershocks of the aerial Peacemaker's explosion had completely dissipated, a jet-black spherical object crashed to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a hard biscuit fortress completely covered by dense Armament Haki!
After the biscuit fortress landed, the Armament Haki covering its surface gradually faded, and the fortress split open from its tip to both sides, from which a figure slowly walked out.
This person was about three meters tall, with a full head of purple hair tied back in three tufts (top, left, and right). He wore a pair of brown gloves, and his upper body consisted only of a shoulder guard and a pink cloak with white spots on his right shoulder. He wore wide riding breeches and brown boots, and the famous sword "Pretzel" hung at his waist.
"Hahahaha, White Ghost, you didn't expect me to Survive such an explosion, did you? You only damaged my armor!"
"Little Cookie... no, Purple Teletubbies."
Adrian looked at Cracker's true form with some curiosity.
"To be honest, your current look is nowhere near as good as that 'armor' you were wearing earlier. How about I give you some time to change back?"
Cracker clapped his hands with a cold laugh, and several huge cookies appeared out of thin air beside him, instantly shattering into countless fragments and then being reshaped.
This is the power of the Paramecia Biscuit- Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit!
He can create and manipulate cookies indefinitely, and the hardness and size of the cookies are determined by Cracker himself.
In just over ten seconds, dozens of giant Biscuit Soldier, each wielding Pretzel and a biscuit shield, appeared around Cracker, surrounding him like stars around the moon.
Cracker looked at Adrian mockingly and said slowly, "These Biscuit Soldiers that I can create at will represent that I can also possess an endless army and limitless fighting power! Even if you use that move again, you will only destroy one of them!"
Adrian asked curiously, "Doesn't your two girlfriends get hurt from clapping so frequently?"
Cracker's forehead veins bulged. Was I talking about how to clap?
"I can generate an infinite number of Biscuit Soldiers-- "
"I already know that, so what?"
Adrian leaped several meters into the air, dodging Amande's attack as if he had eyes in the back of his head.
"No matter how large your cookie army is, or how troublesome they are, it won't increase your personal strength at all. It's not like using this ability will defeat me."
Cracker's smile grew even more sinister. "Then come and experience the power of the Biscuit Army for yourself! Biscuit Soldiers, advance! Sister Amande, let me handle White Ghost by myself!"
With the command of the supreme creator, the towering Biscuit Soldiers immediately raised their longswords high, formed a neat line, and launched a massive collective charge towards Adrian.
Mini Hollow - Nova Fire!
Countless White Hollow, shimmering with a faint glow, leaped out of the void, relentlessly bombarding the Biscuit Soldiers at the front.
The moment the two came into contact, a violent roar erupted.
However, the power of the mini Ghost Bomb was still too weak, only causing slight cracks on the surface of the Biscuit Soldiers' bodies. This level of damage did not significantly impair the Biscuit Soldiers' mobility.
Seeing this scene, Cracker, surrounded by a group of Biscuit Soldiers, couldn't help but burst into unrestrained laughter.
"Hahaha! White Ghost, it seems your Ghost abilities aren't that intimidating to the Biscuit Soldiers after all!"
As he spoke, one of the "shells" that was originally mixed in with the Biscuit Soldiers suddenly began to crack inch by inch.
Cracker himself, wielding the famous sword "Pretzel," leaped out. The unique sword emanated intense spiraling energy, accompanied by an incomparably fierce aura, as he thrust it towards Adrian's body once more!
Sometime during the day, Cracker somehow managed to blend his true form into a group of Biscuit Soldiers.
The "Cracker" who just spouted nonsense and boasted to Adrian was just a fake he made up!
"Come back to the Totto Land with us and see your mother, White Ghost!"
"Wave- Pretzel!!"
[Chapter 165 The Way of Death (Fifth Update)]
Caught completely off guard, Adrian's abdomen was pierced straight through by Cracker's famous Pretzel!
However, before Cracker could even express his joy at his victory, he was still basking in the afterglow of his strike.
Adrian, whose body he had pierced, gave him a sinister grin, and a hazy white light suddenly emanated from his body.
"Is it fake too? When?"
Cracker sensed unease from his Observation Haki, and immediately created a hard biscuit shield to block in front of him.
Adrian's body suddenly expanded, transforming once again into a Peacemaker, and erupted with a roar.
BOOM--!!
