Pirates: I Loaded a Game Panel

The difficulty and sheer tedium of the mission nearly made Adrian think he had run into another [SS]-rank mission!

"Why is this only an S-rank mission?"

"Big Mom alone is already worth an SS-rank difficulty, isn't she? She's a natural-born monster no weaker than an Admiral!"

"And with the other Charlotte Family members and the Totto Land destruction mission added in, the combined difficulty is only S-rank?"

"This makes no sense!"

Even as Adrian accepted the mission, he did not forget to keep complaining.

At that moment, the icon bearing the words [Charlotte Cracker] on the mission panel was glowing faintly.

Clearly, killing Cracker just now had also counted as completing a specific stage of the mission.

Adrian lightly tapped the icon and claimed the reward, gaining some more experience.

Only after completing that did Adrian look toward the Ghost Lady, Charlotte Amande, opposite him.

Amande still wore a stunned expression, her face frozen in shock. She stared at Cracker's corpse, separated from its head, and muttered under her breath.

"Cracker... is dead?"

"That's impossible! How could Cracker have died here so easily?"

"He was one of the strongest among our brothers and sisters..."

"Mom will definitely be angry... Big Brother Katakuri will definitely be angry too..."

Adrian could not help frowning at the sight.

He sheathed Yubashiri, then raised his arm and grabbed at empty space.

As faint ripples spread through the air, Adrian's right hand pulled a Famous Sword from the void. Its scabbard, guard, and hilt were all pure white. It was none other than [Twenty-One Great Grade Swords: Sleeve Snow]!

Clang!

The crisp sound jolted Amande back to her senses.

Adrian extended a finger and lightly flicked Sleeve Snow's blade.

"Come back to your senses, Long-Neck Fish. Are you ready to go keep Little Biscuit company?"
