One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

As he spoke, Rear Adira looked at Rorschach on the arena, "However, even though he is now in his twenties, his strength and talent are still quite remarkable. His future achievements will certainly not stop at the captain level. Perhaps, he will have the opportunity to be promoted to rear admiral or even vice admiral!"

Not far away, Lark's face was flushed red.

The fat chef, Denor, had a strange expression on his face.

Doss chuckled. "No, Major General Adila, what I mean is, Rorschach isn't even seventeen or eighteen yet."

"Not even seventeen or eighteen years old?" Major General Adila was a little taken aback.

Dass wanted to stall for time, but Lark, whose face was flushed red, couldn't hold back any longer and told the truth directly.

"Uncle Adila, Brother Luo Xia is twelve years old this year, only one year older than me."

"Huh? Who's twelve years old?"

Major General Adila was somewhat bewildered.

“Brother Rorschach, don’t let his tall stature fool you. He’s actually a very gentle and shy person. The reason he killed so many pirates that time was because he was heartbroken. In that disaster, he lost his father and everything else.”

As Yun Que spoke, a look of worry appeared on her little face as she watched Luo Xia battling fiercely in the arena.

Although she believed that Luo Xia could win, with so many opponents, Luo Xia was bound to get injured.

Deno placed his large, warm hand on Lark's head. "Little Lark, don't worry. That kid's skin is tough. Even if he gets injured, he'll heal quickly as long as he eats my food. Besides, isn't there that quack doctor Doss here?"

"Who's the quack? I'm a renowned doctor with a senior medical license!" Doss shouted.

While the two were still arguing, Major General Adila, standing nearby, seemed to have been struck on the head with a sledgehammer, falling into a dazed state, repeatedly muttering:

"Twelve years old, twelve years old, only twelve years old, and there is not a trace of training."

He is even more monstrous than the once-in-eight-hundred-years genius of CP9, a true monster-level genius.

"It's out! We in the North Sea have made it! Professor Zephyr, I want to tell Professor Zephyr that upon hearing this news, he will surely be able to pull himself together from his grief and add another... Navy Admiral to the ranks of the righteous navy!"

Chapter 18 All's Fair in War

"Hoo! Hoo!"

As fewer and fewer new recruits blocked his path, Rorschach's breathing grew heavier and heavier.

His physical strength is not limitless.

The battle, which lasted for more than half an hour, still left him feeling extremely tired.

His clothes were completely torn to shreds, making him look like a beggar.

Blood stained his entire body.

There is his own blood, and also the blood spat out by his opponents.

"Skills, physical techniques, combat awareness—I lack so much. If I could master these things, I could definitely defeat these people much more easily."

Rorschach, panting heavily, thought to himself.

Her slightly reddened eyes scanned the surroundings.

"12, 15, 17 more people. Phew! Let's finish them all in one go! I'm so hungry, I really want Uncle Denuo's takoyaki fried rice."

Luo Xia was starving, and his aura unconsciously became somewhat violent.

I don't know why, but whenever I feel hungry, the negative emotions buried deep in my heart just keep surging up.

"Ah! Monster! We have no chance of defeating this monster. I'm giving up. You guys fight. I'm quitting."

The moment their eyes met Luo Xia's, which were slightly red, seven or eight people could not suppress their fear and turned around and jumped off the stage.

The remaining eight men surrounded a burly man with exceptionally long and strong legs, holding swords and knives, watching Luo Xia nervously.

"I'm sorry, young man named Rorschach, you are truly remarkable. I, Hammer, admire those with unwavering willpower the most, and you are one of them now."

The long-legged warrior Hammer raised his right leg, assuming a one-legged stance. "However, I have a reason to win this battle, so please forgive me for not making my move until the very end."

Luo Xia, panting heavily, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I won't look down on anyone because of such a simple reason. Come on!"

"Fine! I'll stake my honor as a long-legged warrior, Hammer. If I lose this time, I'll be your soldier!"

Hammer shouted, and the eight men surrounding him immediately gripped the hilts of their longswords and slashed at Rorschach.

At the same time, Hammer followed closely behind, his two long legs sprinting across the ring like a spider moving at lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, he circled behind Rorschach.

Rorschach focused most of his attention on Hammer behind him.

Because he could sense that among the nine people in front of him, only the long-legged Hammer was the strongest.

Although the other eight men were armed, they posed little threat to him.

Just as Luo Xia was thinking this, eight burly men rushed forward and simultaneously hurled their swords and knives at the bewildered Luo Xia.

In the rush, Rorschach had no time to dodge and could only cross his arms in front of him to block.

He believed in the density of his muscles and bones, and that he would not suffer much damage even if he were slashed by swords.

However, to Luo Xia's further shock and anger, the eight burly men who had dropped their weapons did not stop. In unison, they pulled out packets of white powder from their pockets, and with a flick of their wrists, the white powder scattered towards Luo Xia's face, right after the fallen swords.

I never expected these burly men to have such a dirty trick up their sleeve.

They actually sprinkled lime powder!

They still threw it out together, all eight of them.

The swirling white powder instantly enveloped Luo Xia completely.

In an instant, his eyes, ears, nose and mouth were covered with white lime powder.

Especially the eyes.

The lime powder stuck to his eyes caused an instant stinging pain, and tears streamed down his face. Instead of washing away the lime powder, the tears intensified the irritation, causing Luo Xia to involuntarily let out a scream.

"Ugh!"

The excruciating pain in his eyes caused him to cover them and kneel directly on the ring.

This sudden turn of events stunned the branch officers, as well as Doss, Denor, and others who were still immersed in the astonishing power of Rorschach.

After a brief moment of astonishment, everyone's expression changed.

"Damn it! Using such a despicable trick! Damn it, if Rorschach's eyes get hurt, I'll..."

Major General Adila, like an enraged lion, suddenly stood up and was about to rush onto the ring.

Yun Que was extremely anxious, seeing Luo Xia covering his eyes in pain.

"Brother Rorschach! Dad, please save Brother Rorschach! He's going blind! Doss, Doss! What are you standing there for? Quickly check Brother Rorschach's eyes..."

Doss gritted his teeth and made no move.

Denor tightened his grip on Yun Que's shoulder, stopping her from rushing forward.

"Believe in him, that kid won't give up so easily."

"In this world, having physical strength alone makes one a shallow martial artist. One must know how to use one's mind and assess the situation in order to defeat all enemies."

Akainu's deep, powerful voice rang in everyone's ears.

Major General Adila paused in his steps.

Everyone around held their breath, staring intently at the battle on the arena.

Yes, the battle is not over!

"Kid, sorry! I'm determined to win! Please forgive my despicable tactics! Whirlwind Triple Kick!"

Seeing Rorschach painfully cover his eyes, which were covered in lime powder, and kneel down on the ring.

Hammer sighed, but still resolutely accelerated and charged forward. Using his left leg as a fulcrum, he spun like the wind on the hard ring surface, creating a gust of wind. His right leg, like a whip, lashed out fiercely at Rorschach's exposed neck, back, and back of the head!

He acted decisively, ruthlessly, and without any hesitation!

This is why, among the four seas, the North Sea is known as the strongest sea.

The rugged soil and water have nurtured countless people with rugged personalities!

Bang!

Bang!

Hammer was confident that with the power to kick rocks, even if Rorschach was physically strong, he would not be able to withstand the blows to his vulnerable parts.

Feeling the flesh being sent flying by his own whip kick, Hammer's face revealed a victor's smile.

His body was still spinning, and his long right leg lashed out again.

This time, even the air in front of him was blasted apart by the kick, making a loud cracking sound.

"The position of second lieutenant in the branch is mine!"

"All's fair in war, and my mind is indeed not mature enough. But..."

Amidst the swirling white dust, a slightly unsteady figure stood firmly, his full head of white hair dancing wildly like snakes.

To Hammer's astonishment, strands of long silver hair seemed to come alive and spread out.

They tightly wrapped around his long, shooting leg and pulled him upwards.

His body was lifted into the air, suspended in mid-air by his long silver hair.

The silver-haired boy waved his right hand in front of him, and the white dust that filled the air was like a white curtain being lifted by him.

His body suddenly lunged forward, using his left leg as a fulcrum, and spun around like a whirlwind!

The right leg, like a guillotine that split the heavens and the earth, cleaved Hammer in the chest in his horrified gaze.

"I'm the winner!!"

Bang!

Chapter 19, Branch Second Lieutenant!

Bang!

The air in front of him exploded with a sharp, loud bang.

Hammer was struck in the chest by Rorschach's whip kick, and a large spray of blood mist gushed from his open mouth.
