One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Only with a continuous stream of new monsters like Sakazuki and Borsalino can such a phenomenon occur.

There are too many monsters and pirates on this sea.

Only monsters can fight monsters!

If the North Sea could produce another monstrous naval genius...

Adila's breathing became heavy, and she grinned.

"Since Brother Sakazuki has so much confidence in that kid named Rorschach, then so be it..."

Adila's interest was piqued.

To Richard's astonishment, the branch base leader himself walked into the crowded queue.

Major General Adila exhaled loudly, and declared:

"Listen up, all new recruits participating in today's selection: the rules for the exceptional selection competition have been temporarily changed."

The announcement of this last-minute change immediately caused an uproar among the new recruits who were already growing impatient in line.

Those who were already quite strong showed clear anger on their faces.

Why did they travel all the way to Qianyan Island?

Isn't it precisely for this exceptional selection rule?

Those who are confident in their own abilities would certainly not be willing to spend several years as a menial worker in the 177th branch, washing and mopping floors, cooking and washing clothes all day long.

Some people are already of high status, so why did they come here?

They just wanted to use their own abilities and this selection mechanism to jump several ranks and become officers in the Beihai branch.

The opportunity is right in front of you, but your navy says the selection rules have been changed at the last minute?

Isn't this just making a joke at them?

Fortunately, although there was dissatisfaction, no one dared to be the first to jump out and oppose it.

Because in the North Sea, there are only three powers, and no one dares to provoke them.

Germa War Dock, the Donquixote Family, and the 177th Naval Branch in front of us!

"Don't worry, the temporary change of rules is not to deny you a chance. On the contrary, this rule will make it easier and faster to select outstanding individuals. Those who persevere to the end will receive more exceptional promotions."

Major General Adila surveyed the entire area, knowing full well what the new recruits below were thinking.

But he couldn't be bothered to care.

Beihai has never lacked troublemakers.

If someone really wants to quit and leave, no one will utter a single word to try and stop them.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, the recruits, who had been indignant, looked at Adila with some confusion, wondering what he was up to.

Ignoring the crowd's questions, Adila looked directly at Rorschach in the distance and shouted:

"Rookie Rorschach! Step forward and obey orders!"

"To!"

In the distance, Rorschach snapped out of his daze, quickly leaving behind the chattering Doss, weaving through the curious crowd, and standing in front of Major General Adila, snapping to attention and giving a sharp salute.

"Private Rorschach greets you, sir! Requesting instructions!"

"Very good! Very energetic!"

Major General Adila said approvingly, then pointed at Rorschach and loudly addressed all the new recruits:

"The revised selection rules are..."

"All of you, attack him together! Whoever defeats him will be highly valued by the 177th Branch, receive a promotion, and might even become a branch lieutenant!"

"what?"

Adila said this.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Not only were the new recruits in line discussing it, but even the officers of the 177th branch who were in charge of registration were looking at their superiors with astonished expressions.

Everyone suspected there was something wrong with their ears.

"Everyone's targeting Brother Luo Xia alone? Why?"

The marshmallow in the lark's hand suddenly stopped being sweet.

She frowned, looking at Major General Adila who was speaking with a puzzled expression.

Is Uncle Adila targeting Rorschach?

But why?

"That's right! That's how you stand out from a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

To everyone's surprise, Doss, who was standing next to him, had his eyes shining and his face full of approval.

"Whose side are you on? So many people are targeting Brother Luo Xia, even he..." Yun Que looked at Dao Si with some displeasure.

But before she could finish speaking, Doss interrupted her.

Doss said mysteriously, "Little girl, you have no idea how much potential that kid has."

As he spoke, he revealed a look of infatuation that sent chills down one's spine, muttering to himself as if in a trance.

"Comparable to the most powerful monsters in the New World, Charlotte Linlin's terrifying physical talent in her childhood, that inhuman strength, is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

Doss's gaze was fixed on Rorschach as he stepped onto the spacious arena.

"His talent for steel bones is in no way weaker than that old woman's steel balloon!"

"Show them what monstrous talent looks like!"

"Rorschach!!"

Chapter 16 Immovable as a Mountain!

Luo Xia had no idea why Major General Adila would suddenly bring up such a rule that seemed obviously unfair.

However, Luo Xia could tell that this was a test for him by Major General Adila.

Luo Xia didn't know if he could fight against five hundred people all by himself.

However, the thought of the piece of black bread that his father, old John, held tightly in his hand until his death lingered in his mind.

I think of my mother, Elizabeth, sitting in front of the wooden house weaving bamboo baskets, and how she died from a minor cold.

Thinking of the twisted and broken corpses of the 187 people in Red Leaf Village.

Thinking of the seventeen women from Red Leaf Village who survived, seemingly lucky, but in reality suffered cruel humiliation at the hands of pirates, and who may spend the rest of their lives waking up from nightmares at any time.

Rorschach stepped onto the ring without hesitation, his eyes slightly red. Before Major General Adila could announce the start, his silver hair cascaded wildly as he roared!

"Rookie Rorschach! Everyone, please..."

"Let's take the stage and fight!"

The boy exhaled and spoke, his voice booming like thunder, shocking the entire audience!

"Kid! Don't be so arrogant! Do you really think you can defeat everyone by yourself? There are over five hundred new recruits here!"

"Let me, Vieri, see what you're really made of!"

A burly man, standing 2.5 meters tall, strode onto the stage and charged toward Luo Xia.

His body was huge and strong, taller and stronger than Rorschach, who was 2.3 meters tall!

His body was covered in large, bulging muscles, making him look like a pile of rocks.

"That's... Vieri, the Tiger Hunter, a two-star bounty hunter from the North Blue! Legend has it that he once single-handedly hunted down a pirate captain with a bounty of 300 million... He..."

Before the commentator from an unknown recruit could finish speaking, a violent shockwave suddenly erupted from the meter-high platform.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the two-and-a-half-meter-tall giant Vieri was struck in the chest by Rorschach's right fist.

Bang!

A dull, loud bang.

Vieri's massive body was lifted off the ground and flew straight back for fifty or sixty meters on the ring, like a cannonball, smashing through the base's wall and revealing a large hole three or four meters in diameter.

The entire venue was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

The new recruits stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"What happened? Who just flew by?"

Some people looked completely bewildered.

Gudong.

Some of the new recruits were trembling and some could not stand steadily.

"Hey, are you kidding me? That's Vieri, a two-star bounty hunter from the North Blue, a powerful figure who can single-handedly kill a pirate with a bounty of three million, and he was just sent flying with a single blow? Is this some kind of recruit? Navy! You didn't send an officer to make things difficult for us, did you?"

The army commander from a certain kingdom looked indignant, suspecting that Adila was deliberately making things difficult for them.

"A bunch of useless trash, scared like that? Our Beihai branch doesn't need people like this who are so easily intimidated!"

Adila's cold gaze swept over the noisy training ground.

"Give them weapons."

A chilling voice came from afar.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a naval general, three meters tall and wearing a red military uniform, standing with his arms crossed and looking at them expressionlessly.

"Who's that guy? I've never seen him before. He's got some nerve... Waaah..."

Before a well-known fighter from Beihai could even utter a complaint, several burly men pounced on him and covered his mouth tightly.

"Let me go! What do you want?"

"Shut up, you idiot! Do you want to get us all killed? You brain-dead moron! You...you don't even recognize a Marine Admiral!"

The burly men who pinned the fighter to the ground and covered his mouth tightly were ashen-faced, their faces covered in cold sweat.
