One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Zefa himself was aware of this.

No one is perfect.

During his many years as a naval instructor, 90 percent of the officers and generals in the entire Navy Headquarters were his students.

But there were almost no people who could truly match the kind of disciples he wanted to cultivate.

Either they lack the ability or talent.

Either the path of justice is carried out too thoroughly, and only destruction is in sight.

Or just give up.

Kuzan used to be pretty good, full of passion, but he cooled off later.

Garp's son, Dragon, was indeed a true marshal in talent, but alas...

"Professor Zephyr, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Zefa stood there without moving for a long time, Luo Xia couldn't help but wave his hand in front of his eyes.

"Click."

The heavy robotic arm snapped shut and gripped his hand.

"Um... Sea... Seastone..."

Rorschach's knees buckled, and he almost knelt down.

"Hehehe, you were careless again, weren't you? My mechanical arm and hand are made with seastone, and are specially designed to deal with ability users."

Zefa grabbed his hand and tossed him aside.

"Listen up, kid!"

"The risks on the high seas are everywhere; natural disasters and man-made calamities are countless!"

"But as a powerful naval warrior, one must actively experience all of this and weather enough storms in order to solidify one's path of justice!"

"I entrust these young soldiers to you. I hope you will not let me down, and you will not betray the justice in your heart. Go! Go and complete your graduation assessment."

Justice will prevail!

"As you wish, Professor Zephyr!"

Luo Xia took a deep breath, his eyes reddening slightly, and suddenly stood up straight, giving a military salute.

Justice will prevail!

Justice will prevail!

A chorus of angry roars erupted from the mouths of two hundred naval soldiers, echoing throughout Marineford.

"Board! Set sail!"

Rorschach raised his right hand high.

"Gentlemen! Follow me to achieve great deeds and wipe out the pirates!"

"To achieve great deeds and wipe out the pirates!"

The soldiers were excited, picked up the various supplies around them, and quickly boarded the warship.

On the distant shore artillery emplacements, Drake and Smoker stood with their arms crossed, watching the bustling scene unfold from afar.

"Hehe, kid, I wish you good luck in your martial arts career!"

Drake suddenly shouted.

Rorschach, who had jumped onto the warship, turned back with a smile and waved, saying, "I wish you good luck in your military endeavors as well! Captain Drake! And Colonel Smoker!"

"Come visit Donghai sometime," Smoker said softly, lighting a cigar for himself.

"Six billion! I can already foresee the kind of unsettling and cruel life that awaits me."

Luo leaned against the ship's railing, holding the ghostly cry, looking depressed.

Bepo, Pekin, and the other two were huddled together, their faces long and gloomy.

"Captain...we want to go back to the North Sea and become doctors..."

"Haha! Too late! Once you're on my boat, don't even think about getting off."

Rorschach laughed and waved his hand, and a massive hurricane suddenly rose up in the inner bay, instantly filling the sails that the warriors had torn down.

Before the massive warship could even apply its power, it was propelled by the violent wind pressure, its speed increasing steadily as it sailed towards the open sea.

The boy leaped onto the bow of the ship and waved vigorously at the purple-haired old man at the port.

"Professor Zephyr! Take care of yourself! I'll definitely bring you some wine when I come back!"

"Be careful, be more tactful in your dealings with others, and don't be so reckless! The outside world is not like Marine Headquarters!"

Watching the turquoise warship cut through the waves and quickly disappear into the distance, Zefa couldn't help but reach out and wipe the corner of his eye.

"The wind is picking up."

Chapter 164 First Stop: Impel Down

"Colonel Rorschach is really young. He looks even younger than my second son."

"That's for sure. But their strength is terrifying; they are undoubtedly the number one among our navy's new generation!"

"With such a promising leader, our future is definitely bright."

On the vast and boundless sea, the massive warship, fifty meters in size, is like a drop in the ocean, quietly sailing toward the course set by the navigator.

The two hundred soldiers on board were busy with their respective duties, occasionally chatting privately about the various gossips surrounding their superiors.

On the bow deck of the warship, Luo Xia looked at the two enormous steel gates that towered into the clouds. Even though he had seen them once before, he was still filled with awe when he saw them again.

It has been more than half a day since we left Marineford.

Their warships are now sailing towards Impel Down, the legendary deep-sea prison.

The vast, calm sea beneath us is the Calm Belt.

The two towering gates in front of us, each bearing a huge cross piercing through five spheres, are the Gates of Justice, built by the World Government hundreds of years ago and standing above the Calm Belt!

Three gates of justice, hundreds or even thousands of meters tall, stand in front of Marineford, Impel Down, and Enies Lobby, respectively.

The only way to enter these three important places is through the Gate of Justice.

The Gate of Justice is difficult to bypass because the currents on either side of the gate are turbulent and swift, caused by a massive whirlpool.

To bypass the gates of justice without opening them, one must either fly through the sky or advance by coating oneself in the deep sea.

With Rorschach's current ability to manipulate wind, it is certainly not enough to control a fifty-meter-class warship, along with its massive baggage and personnel, to fly hundreds of kilometers.

So he could only obediently wait for Impel Down to verify the passage order and for the mechanism controlling the Gates of Justice to be activated.

The reason I came to Impel Down this time is because of that underage giant pirate, Pamel.

Although Pamel has become a pirate, he hasn't made any major mistakes yet.

There was neither oppression of civilians nor indiscriminate killing.

Compared to the ill-tempered Deckard brothers, Rorschach was much more agreeable.

The giants are a very important racial ally for the Navy.

Currently, there are more than ten giant warriors in the Navy Headquarters who hold high-ranking positions at the officer level.

There are also several giants at the lieutenant general level.

Unless absolutely necessary, the navy would not easily imprison a giant.

The giants' natural strength is unparalleled on the high seas.

With its massive size and powerful physique, once it grows to adulthood, it can reach a height of over twelve meters and possess terrifying combat power capable of single-handedly sweeping away thousands of people.

If tens of tons of weapons were to fall, they would flatten you with a single blow, regardless of whether you possessed Armament Haki or not.

Luo Xia came here this time precisely because Sengoku was considering this matter, asking him to see if he could recruit Palmer to his ranks.

In that case, Rorschach would have a decent helper.

Rorschach was naturally happy to accept.

He needed a strong and capable man to help him carry the Heavenly Dragon Halberd.

Weapons weighing over ten tons are not something an ordinary person can easily lift.

Carrying it around is always a bit inconvenient.

Leaving it on a warship wouldn't be appropriate.

Who knows if there will be another Dafiron who wants to steal his weapon.

"Pulling pulling".

"Pulling pulling".

Rorschach reached into his pocket, pulled out his Den Den Mushi, and answered the call.

"Hello, is this Colonel Rorschach? This is Impel Down. Your request to pass through the Gates of Justice has been approved. Please prepare your ships and stabilize them. The Gates of Justice will open soon, please proceed as quickly as possible."

"No problem, everything is ready here. Please open the gates of justice."

Rorschach responded with a smile.

Five months ago, he came here with Zephyr and learned about the procedures required to get to such an important place as Impel Down.

Generally speaking, to get the people on the other side to open the Gates of Justice and let you pass, you need to first prove your identity and purpose, and then contact the Marine Headquarters from Impel Down to obtain permission.

Just then, the calm sea ahead suddenly began to shake violently.

The seawater within a radius of tens of kilometers gradually became turbulent and chaotic.

The warship beneath my feet swayed from side to side and rose and fell with the violently turbulent ocean currents.

"Lark! Show me the way! I'll take the helm!"

Sensing the warship heaving more and more violently, Rorschach flashed to the ship's helm, took the helm from a burly lieutenant, and began to steer.

"Okay! Brother Rorschach! Turn the ship fifteen degrees to the left! A current is approaching!"
