One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Zefa, who had been silent until now, spoke in a deep voice.

Greene had a bunch of excuses in his mind, but when he saw the looks in Kizaru, Aokiji, Zephyr and the others' eyes, they all turned into one sentence.

"It's my intuition."

Zefa looked at him for a few seconds, then nodded silently. "Okay. But we'll have to wait until tomorrow. His physical condition is too poor right now; he can't withstand the mental torment from the Heavenly Government."

After a long silence, Grimm said, "Okay."

Zephyr then looked at the dark horse Tenma, "Tenma, watch your step. Rorschach is the future of the Navy."

Tenma smiled, revealing his teeth. "I'm really sorry, Professor Zephyr. My principle is to give my all in everything I do, even when it comes to my own people."

Zefa nodded, said nothing, and turned to walk back to the tent.

Tensei took off his black gloves, smiled, and walked towards the hundreds of people gathered together by CP0.

"Tonight will be a memorable night, and everyone will have a good dream."

As he approached, his body gradually swelled and elongated, and two leaping flames ignited in his eye sockets.

In the blink of an eye, a magnificent black horse appeared on the grass in Mangrove Zone 40.

The flowing mane of the steed transformed into burning, leaping flames.

Wherever the four hooves passed, they left burning hoofprints on the grass.

"Like Rorschach, it has a Zoan-type Horse-Horse Fruit of the Mythical Zoan type, but it is the Nightmare Horse form, which symbolizes evil and darkness."

"The ability of mythical beasts to steal and manipulate the dreams of others."

"Destroying the mind of the person being entered into a dream, forcing them to reveal all their secrets. That's the name of Masahiro Kuroba, the director of the Naval Crime Investigation Bureau."

Chapter 148 Warship Sandbags, Dream Invasion!

In the crescent-shaped square of Marineford, the weather was fine and the sky was high and clear.

"Oh my, it's my turn to be your sparring partner today, Rorschach."

Kuzan, looking sleepy, yawned as he walked over from a distance.

Luo Xia scratched his head, his eyes momentarily dazed, before a joyful smile appeared on his face.

"Great, Uncle Kuzan, it's been so long since we sparred. How should we fight this time? Like last time?"

"No, we're here to hit the sandbags today."

Kuzan shook his head. "Let's test how far you are from becoming an Admiral. Don't worry, this training method only tests physical strength. Hmm, it also involves some application of Armament Haki."

"Hit the sandbag?"

A big question mark appeared above Rorschach's head.

What kind of sandbag can withstand a general's attack?

The mystery was soon solved.

With a series of rumbling sounds, dozens or even hundreds of new recruits gritted their teeth and dragged two massive naval warships from the logistics warehouse below the square.

These two warships are enormous, and you can still see the three broken masts on them.

Clearly, the warship is a three-masted warship, one of the largest types in the navy.

When the new recruits took turns dragging the two massive warships, each the size of a small mountain, to the two men, they were all exhausted, collapsing to the ground and panting heavily.

"This...this is the sandbag you were talking about, Uncle Kuzan?"

Luo Xia stared in disbelief at the huge dents and deep pits on the hulls of the two warships.

The ships, covered in thick iron sheets, steel plates, and solid wood, looked as if they had been bombarded by a meteor shower or a Buster Call, with not a single flat or intact spot to be found.

Those huge dents clearly showed the marks of punches and kicks.

"These are the sandbags that Vice Admiral Garp used to train me on, the sandbags on the warship."

Kuzan flexed his wrists, and two streaks of jet-black Armament Haki silently spread across his entire arm. He reached out and patted another warship, then smiled at Rorschach.

"Give it a try, it's a lot of fun."

Luo Xia swallowed hard, but his eyes gleamed with anticipation. "How do we fight? Is it just a contest to see who can create the biggest dent on a warship?"

Kuzan shook his head, then suddenly reached out with both hands, his ten fingers digging into the steel plates of the ship's hull. His arm muscles bulged, and to Luo Xia's astonishment, the fifty-meter-long warship, as large as a small mountain, was lifted up by Kuzan's bare hands.

"Since it's a sandbag, it should be hit while suspended in the air."

Beneath the massive, mountain-like warship, Kuzan's slender figure appeared incredibly small, and a rare look of excitement appeared on his face.

"No way? Could it be..."

Luo Xia shuddered, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

As expected, just as he had guessed, with the creaking of the warship's hull, Kuzan shook his arms, and the massive warship, as big as a small mountain, suddenly flew up and crashed down on his head.

"What kind of sandbag hitting is this?! Someone could die!"

Rorschach didn't know how heavy a 50-meter-long warship was.

But it must be many times heavier than the Heavenly Dragon Halberd he wielded.

"Blue Scale Form!"

His body suddenly swelled and grew taller. Luo Xia roared, and deep blue domineering aura surged from his body like a tide, covering his thick Qilin arms. He held up his hands to the sky to block the warship that was crashing down on him.

"Boom!"

Like a meteorite striking the earth, the massive ship's hull completely covered the plaza where Rorschach was, pressing down on the ground within a radius of tens of meters.

The enormous impact caused the ground to crack in all directions like a spider web.

The dust storm that was stirred up rolled across Marineford Square, as if a sandstorm had suddenly swept through.

The ground rocks crumbled, and Rorschach's body, like a nail, was slammed into the rocky ground of the plaza by the warship.

"Don't think that just because you're strong enough, you can easily handle this training."

Kuzan's voice came from outside.

"The key to this training is how to maximize your own strength while ensuring that the surrounding environment is not damaged, and how to hit your opponent with all your strength."

"Imagine you're facing Kaido right now!"

"But you also have teammates protecting you, such as Hibari, Law, Drake and others."

"They were injured and couldn't even protect themselves in the aftermath of your fight."

"At this moment, how do you correctly, perfectly, and to the extreme unleash all your power without letting it affect your companions, concentrating your physical strength, domineering aura, and skill into one point for a targeted breakthrough!"

Only then can we unleash our full power and defeat the enemy!

"I understand! Uncle Kuzan! Take this! Fist Bone! Meteor!"

Beneath the crashing warship, Luo Xia braced himself against the hull above with one hand, clenched his right fist, and slammed it into the thick iron sheet above his head.

next moment.

With a loud bang, the warship, with half of its hull embedded in the ground, was suddenly thrown more than ten meters upwards.

But the power that Rorschach displayed was clearly far less than that of Kuzan.

The warship rose only a dozen meters before it began to plummet.

At this moment, Rorschach's body expanded again, his figure bursting through the air, and he soared into the air like a rocket, flashing to the side of the warship and delivering a powerful punch!

"Golden Buddha Impact! Vajra!"

A deep blue aura surged across his arm, subtly forming a thick vajra, which, as if wielded by an invisible, gigantic Buddha, slammed into the side of the warship.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the warship traced a long parabola as it hurtled towards Kuzan like a meteorite.

Kuzan's face showed approval. Before the warship landed, he leaped up and arrived in front of another warship wreckage. With a grab and a throw, he tossed the warship into the air and smashed it towards Luo Xia.

He himself still had the strength to return to his original position, leaped high, caught the falling warship, and landed steadily.

The ground beneath his feet didn't even crack from the massive impact.

A layer of Armament Haki, spreading out like ripples, emanated from beneath Kuzan, merging him and the entire earth into one.

"Since it's sandbag sparring, then two sandbags must be used simultaneously."

Kuzan grinned and, to Luo Xia's stunned gaze, swung the warship he had caught back at him.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

The two warships, each the size of a small mountain, collided, trapping Luo Xia in the middle. He was thrown around, dazed and bleeding profusely.

A few days later.

"Hahaha, kid, Kuzan played with the warship sandbag with you last time, didn't he? Come here, let this old man check your training progress."

Garp took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.

He pulled a senbei (rice cracker) from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, crunching it loudly. With his other hand, he grabbed the wreckage of the warship, now riddled with dozens of huge dents, and tossed it toward the silver-haired boy dozens of meters away.

"Hehe, no problem, Grandpa Garp! Then please give me a thorough check-up!"

"Fist bone! Falling from the seabed!"

The silver-haired boy's body expanded fluidly, and he leaped up, reaching out to grab the hull of the warship that had been thrown at him. His arm muscles bulged, and he swung it back at Garp, who was still eating senbei below.

"Hmm? You actually use my moves against me? You brat, you're incredibly audacious! Hahaha! Fist Bone! Meteorite!"

Garp grinned, leaped to another warship, grabbed the hull with both hands, bent his body backward, and threw the mountain-sized warship at the warship crashing down from the sky.

"Boom!"

Like two meteors colliding, the massive warships crashed together more than ten meters in the air, creating a deafening roar that shook the entire Marineford.

"Whizzing!"

Before the two warships could crash, Garp below stepped off the ground and rose into the air, while Rorschach above stomped through the air.

The two men, one above and one below, simultaneously unleashed a punch at the warships that had collided.

"Fist and bone! Conflict!"
