One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

No wonder she called out the word "father" just now; she was calling for Akainu, that mad dog.

"She obstructed the investigation first..."

"I ask you, who hurt my daughter?"

Akainu stepped forward and stood face to face with Grimm, the two being no more than three meters apart.

Terrifyingly high temperatures emanated from Akainu, turning the entire Mangrove Sector 66 into a giant furnace.

The air is heating up, and the surrounding mangroves and grasslands are burning.

Grimm's gaze was icy as he stared coldly at Akainu, gripping his rapier tightly.

When Akainu, that mad dog, goes berserk, he can strike fear into the hearts of pirates.

Even the Navy, the World Government's own people, are afraid.

Because he is a true bloodthirsty maniac who adheres to absolute justice.

In the pursuit of absolute justice, one can do anything insane.

They bombarded the refugee ship.

The kidnapped hostages were cremated along with the pirates.

They blasted away deserters on the battlefield.

But right now, it seems that there's a sensitive spot on the other party that absolutely cannot be touched.

That petite little girl.

The mad dog's daughter.

Green Saint paused for a moment, then suddenly turned to the group of CP0 members who were hiding at a distance and said:

"Who attacked that girl just now? Step forward."

A dozen or so CP0 members, their faces showing unease, slowly walked out.

Among them were those who launched a finger gun and hit Hibari's shoulder, those who kicked out with a grappling kick, and those who tried to grab Hibari's shoulder but were knocked down by Hibari's punch.

"Very well! So it was you who hurt my daughter? CP0, you certainly have guts."

Akainu nodded, and his right fist, gloved with black, suddenly began to emit a blazing red light.

“But I am not that old man Zefa.”

He swayed his massive body and, under the fearful gaze of CP0, the gloomy stare of Grimm, and the look of Spandam as if he were looking at a ghost, unleashed a punch.

"Anyone who dares to harm my only family member should prepare to go to hell."

"A dog devours a red lotus!"

Akainu's right fist transformed into a ferocious magma hound, its body extending dozens of meters, instantly piercing through more than a dozen CP0 members.

"So this is what the Dog Devouring Red Lotus is all about. No wonder I felt like I'd heard of that move somewhere before."

As the CP0 members, their bodies pierced by lava, had this thought flash through their minds, the world before them went completely black.

Watching over a dozen elite CP0 members fall to the ground, their bodies pierced by lava, utterly dead, was a stark reminder of their plight.

Spandam was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

"The person who hurt your daughter has also been killed by you. Akainu, you'd better explain things to the Five Elders yourself."

Grimm gave Akainu a cold look, then strode towards the direction where Rorschach had flown backward, towards the collapsed naval base wall.

"Explanation?" Akainu glanced at Spandam, who had fainted from fright. "My explanation is that Spandam, this piece of trash, must step down from his position as head of the CP agency. Otherwise, I, as a Marine Admiral, will quit."

Hearing the cold laughter behind him, a vein bulged on Green Saint's forehead.

That bastard Akainu is the kind of guy who won't listen to either soft or hard tactics.

If you try to be tough with him, he'll be tougher than you.

If you're soft, he'll be hard.

But this bastard is indeed the most valuable to the World Government among all the admirals, and even among all the high-ranking naval officers.

Because among all the high-ranking naval officers, only Akainu would carry out the World Government's orders without reservation.

He'll kill whoever he's told to kill.

Everyone else either eats rice crackers, cuts their nails, or sleeps all day.

Not a single one of them is taking their job seriously.

If Akainu really gets into a fight with the Five Elders, Spandam, that guy who crossed him, will probably really have to step down.

The Five Elders would never let Akainu, such a useful mad dog, go.

As for the deaths of more than a dozen CP0s, that's a trivial matter.

Seeing Grimm Saint heading in the direction Rorschach flew backward, Lark immediately became anxious and looked at his old father.

"Dad, please save Brother Luo Xia! He's badly injured."

"Hmph! Serves him right! Who told him to show off?"

Akainu snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Grimm, who had entered the naval base, his eyes flashing.

Inside the naval base, Gringu looked at Rorschach, who had regained his human form and was lying in a pool of blood, and slowly raised his rapier, aiming it at Rorschach's head.

"I'd like to see just how hard your skull is."

The sharp tip of the sword pierced down.

A dazzling golden light suddenly streaked across the sky and landed on the wall of the naval base.

Golden light coalesced into a slender figure, which crouched atop the wall and extended its golden index finger toward the ancient saint, Grimm.

"Don't move, Grimm."

Chapter 146 Withdrawal, What I Just Said Doesn't Count

"Don't move, Grimm."

The old man, half-squatting on the wall of the naval base, pursed his lips and revealed a lewd smile.

Green Ancient Saint's face darkened even more.

His face turned cold. He straightened up, raised his rapier, and pointed it at Kizaru. "What, you're going to fight me for a mere naval lieutenant commander, Kizaru?"

"That's terrifying, Grimm."

Kizaru raised his hands.

"I wouldn't dare to fight against a great world noble. However, this lad on the ground is a disciple I value highly. I wonder if the great Saint Grin would do me the honor of letting him receive treatment first?"

"The charge has been established. The perpetrator of the attack on the Roswald family was released due to his mishandling of the situation. In other words, he is now the culprit responsible for the deaths of the Roswald family. I will kill him now, and no one can say anything!"

Grimm stood firm, his gaze chilling as he stared at Kizaru. "Mind your place, Kizaru. The Navy serves the World Government..."

"But it's not for your service."

Akainu strode over, brushing past Grimm, and reached out to grab Rorschach from the ground, without even glancing at Grimm, whose face was extremely grim.

“The Admirals serve the Celestial Dragons, and so do I…” Grimm’s fingers tightened around his longsword.

Akainu stopped in his tracks and turned his head slightly. "So, you want to ask me for help? No problem. As long as the World Government issues the order, I can be dispatched right now to protect your safety, the great Grimm."

"you……!"

"Whether my disciple is guilty or not is for the Navy's internal criminal investigation bureau to judge, not for you to decide on your own. Borsalino, since the great Saint Gringu has issued a plea for help, then as a Navy Admiral, you shall temporarily assist Saint Gringu in investigating the attack on Saint Roswald's family."

Akainu carried the unconscious Rorschach out of the naval base with one hand.

With Lark and Tina by his side, they quickly disappeared from Gringu Saint's sight.

"No problem, I will definitely cooperate fully with Saint Green."

Kizaru's figure transformed into countless points of light, falling and converging before Grimm.

Grimm gave a heavy, cold snort. "Kizaru, didn't you say he was your disciple? How come he's now Akainu's disciple?"

Kizaru scratched his head and pouted, saying, "Sakazuki is right, Rorschach is indeed my disciple. But he is also Sakazuki's disciple, Kuzan's disciple, Zephyr's disciple, Vice Admiral Garp's disciple, and, oh right, Sengoku's disciple and Vice Admiral Tsuru's disciple~."

Greene remained silent.

...

...

A few hours later, as darkness fell on Sabaody Archipelago and evening approached, the Marine Headquarters' large fleet and the World Government's Holy Land Guard finally arrived in large numbers on the outskirts of the Sabaody Archipelago.

Hundreds of warships and official vessels of all sizes surrounded the entire Sabaody Archipelago.

Tens of thousands of naval officers and thousands of holy site guards disembarked from warships and flooded into the 79 mangrove areas of Sabaody Archipelago, thoroughly cleaning up the entire island.

All illegal forces, whether hiding in the open or in the shadows, were swept away.

Slave traders, arms dealers, entertainment district operators, smugglers, and pirate crews were all rounded up and arrested.

No matter who their backers are, it won't matter this time.

Many powerful entities under the umbrella of major backgrounds, including famous auction houses, were also uprooted one by one.

The remaining crew members of the Avengers Pirates, the Deckard brothers captured by Rorschach, the giant Palmer, hundreds of nobles and wealthy merchants who participated in the auction of famous items, as well as dozens of surviving guards of Roswald Saint, and CP leader Frisis, were all taken to the open space in the 40th mangrove area to await joint interrogation by the World Government and the Marine Headquarters.

"Where is Rorschach? Where are my students?"

Before the warship had even come to a complete stop, several old men jumped off the ship in a flurry and rushed to the open space where the suspects were being held.

When the CP0 guards saw someone rushing forward, they instinctively reached out to stop them.

"Trespassing is strictly prohibited. Violators will be..."

"Get out of the way!" The heavy mechanical arm grabbed a CP0 member by the collar and tossed him dozens of meters away like a mouse.

The other CP0 members were shocked to see this and were about to draw their weapons, but when they saw who it was, they froze on the spot and dared not go forward.

"Black Arm Zephyr! Hero Garp! Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Admiral Aokiji!"

Several burly old men filed in, followed by the tall and thin Kuzan.

"Grimm, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
