The latest harvest was massive.
Just in reputation points alone, Adrian now possessed 118,791 points—
over a hundred thousand.
His original plan was to strengthen his body,
but compared to physical fortitude…
it was his spiritual pressure he really wanted to elevate.
Previously, he had barely managed to upgrade his spiritual pressure from Warlord-class to Fortress-Crusher-class, using up 10,000 points.
But reaching the next level—
Nation-Destroyer-class—
required just a bit more.
And now, after the Shells Town operation, he finally had enough.
"System. Upgrade my Spiritual Pressure."
Ding! Consumed 10,000 Reputation Points. Attribute [Spiritual Pressure] upgraded to: Fortress-Crusher Class!
Adrian nodded.
Strength increasing…
That feeling was always satisfying.
But it wasn't enough.
"At this level, I can barely generate one shot of Lanza del Relámpago…"
He muttered.
Many of his abilities relied on spiritual pressure—
especially the devastating Lightning Spear.
Without upgrading, he'd be forced to rely on physical combat or crude sword swings with the Demon Blade Senjin.
Or worse—use his AK-47, which, while effective, was…
far beneath his dignity.
"System. Upgrade Spiritual Pressure again."
He hesitated not at all.
Reputation points were meant to be spent—
to cheat, to grow, to dominate.
Ding! Consumed 100,000 Reputation Points. Attribute [Spiritual Pressure] upgraded to: Nation-Destroyer Class!
The world shook.
A violent surge of spiritual pressure erupted uncontrollably from him—
a pure crushing force that expanded outward like a shockwave.
Several people nearby collapsed instantly.
And among them—
Zoro suffered the most.
Already starving, exhausted, and having previously endured Grimmjow's pressure,
his consciousness flickered and—
thud
His head slumped sideways.
Knocked out cold.
It took Adrian several moments before he could restrain the overflowing pressure, pulling it back into himself.
"Hah… strength rising too quickly really is hard to control."
He exhaled slightly.
He needed time to adapt.
Then he opened his status panel:

A hundred thousand points burnt clean in an instant—
but the result was worth every bit.
Nation-Destroyer-class Spiritual Pressure
would fundamentally change his combat ability.
"Now… just have to wait for Luffy."
Adrian began walking back toward the harbor,
Grimmjow dragging the execution rack with Zoro behind him.
…
Harbor — On the Going Merry
Adrian held three A-Rank Random Draw Tickets in his hand.
"Let's see how lucky I am this time."
"Use."
Ding! A-Rank Random Weapon Draw used!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, obtained: Senzu Beans ×1,000!
Adrian fell silent.
Last time,
the S-rank weapon ticket gave him senzu beans.
This time,
the A-rank weapon ticket…
also gave him senzu beans.
Just fewer.
"System… what are you trying to say?"
Adrian twitched his eyelids.
"Why do you keep giving me stamina recovery items?
Afraid I can't last long enough in battle?"
He sighed helplessly.
Senzu beans restored strength, stamina, and state—
which, indirectly, meant…
the system was investing heavily in his endurance.
A thousand more beans joined the stockpile.
