One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

It can be said that Luo's strength is at least more than twice as strong as it was six months ago.

Even by Zephyr's exacting standards, his progress is quite impressive.

Luo was undoubtedly the top student in this year's Naval Headquarters Elite Training Camp.

Of course, some people are an exception.

If Luo's strength wasn't sufficient, Zephyr wouldn't have released him to accompany Luo Xia to complete the graduation assessment.

To be honest, when he first left Marineford, Luo was quite confident.

But unexpectedly, before they even officially arrived at the pirate paradise of the Grand Line, they were dealt a heavy blow.

Shiryu's sword, imbued with Armament Haki, was too powerful for him to resist, and he was sent flying by the sword.

If that's all there is to it, Luo can accept defeat.

Who is Shiliu?

Shiryu of the Rain, one of the two great demon lords of Impel Down, is a notorious bloodthirsty villain, second only to Magellan, the king of hell, as the most ferocious warden.

It's not shameful to be defeated by someone like that.

But later, the performance of a certain silver-haired boy was simply too dazzling.

Shiryu of the Rain, who was cleaved and crushed by a single sword strike, was completely overwhelmed in his battle with Rorschach.

That Armament Haki was as thick and heavy as a raging ocean tide.

That vast, catastrophic thunderbolt unleashed an aura of annihilation.

That physique surpasses even that of giants, possessing unparalleled strength!

Observation Haki with an extremely wide range of perception!

His divine might is like a prison, a wild and domineering Conqueror's Haki!

This young man is so dazzling.

He couldn't even withstand Douglas Barrett's Conqueror's Haki attack.

Yet the other side was able to withstand this legendary pirate.

All of these things made Luo feel a deep sense of frustration.

This feeling is not jealousy.

It's inferiority, resentment, and shame!

My own childhood experiences were exactly the same as those of the boy in front of me.

I have also experienced unforgettable darkness.

They also have dreams and goals they want to achieve.

The incident they experienced together half a year ago solidified Luo's resolve to help this seemingly idiotic boy achieve his unattainable, arrogant ambition.

Change the world!

But now, despite his own smug progress, he can barely even touch the hem of the boy's clothes.

In this case.

How can I even talk about helping him?

What's the point of talking about avenging Mr. Corazon?

He wants to become stronger!

He wanted to catch up with the boy in front of him.

He wanted to make Rorschach feel comfortable entrusting his back to him for protection.

Instead of people like us who, when faced with real difficulties, can only wait for Rorschach's rescue.

According to Rorschach's Observation Haki, the spiritual will emanating from Rorschach at this moment was like a sharp sword piercing the sky.

That was his determination to become stronger!

Luo Xia sighed inwardly, met Luo's gaze, and nodded solemnly:

“I understand. I also have some ideas about your path to becoming stronger. How about this, let's have dinner first. After dinner, we can talk about how you should intensify your training for the upcoming voyage.”

"it is good."

Luo nodded and walked towards the cabin.

He was going to wash off the sweat.

"Bepo, Pekin, go and help bring the food up to the deck. We'll have dinner on the deck tonight. Let everyone gather around; I have something to say later."

Rorschach shouted at Bepo, who was still looking dejected.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Bepo and the others quickly got to work.

Palmer also wanted to help.

However, his body was simply too large to fit into the warship's galley.

Given his size, Rorschach can only arrange for him to stay in the ship's main cabin at the moment.

Before long, all sorts of food were continuously brought onto the deck by the soldiers.

The aroma of food filled the air above the warship, making the soldiers, who had been busy all day, salivate and their stomachs rumble.

Rorschach pushed a large plate of sea king meat, piled almost a meter high, in front of Law.

"The most important thing to become stronger is being able to eat."

"The more you eat, the more energy your body stores, and the more energetic you will be."

"Using abilities requires stamina, and prolonged battles also require stamina. It can be said that stamina is the foundation of all the strong on this sea. Without sufficient stamina, even if you possess the world's top Devil Fruit abilities or some kind of physical talent, you will never become a strong person."

Rorschach's voice wasn't loud, but it carried on the wind to the ears of every naval soldier who was beginning their dinner, drawing everyone's attention and prompting them to listen intently.

"Luo, I suppose you've noticed it too, haven't you?"

Luo Xia watched as Luo, who had started eating silently, grabbed the sea king-like beast meat that Luo Xia pushed towards him and began to chew it heartily, and said:

"The use of your Op-Op Fruit ability probably consumes more energy than other Devil Fruit abilities."

Luo's mouth was stuffed full of chunks of meat, his cheeks bulging, and he nodded as he ate.

"Yes, that's true."

"I suspect this might be a characteristic of the Op-Op Fruit."

"Whether it's maintaining the duration of the surgical space, expanding its coverage area, or moving items within the surgical space, all require different levels of physical exertion."

He looked at Luo Xia, his brows furrowed slightly, and said, "There's one more thing. I recently discovered that my surgical space cannot move people with exceptionally strong domineering auras."

"Like you."

"When you don't use Armament Haki, I can easily move you. But once you use Armament Haki, with my current stamina and Devil Fruit development level, I won't be able to move you."

"So, if you want to become stronger, the simplest and most direct way is to increase your physical strength."

Rorschach pointed at Rorschach, then turned and scanned the group of naval soldiers on the deck.

"You too."

"As long as your physical strength keeps up and reaches a certain level, at the very least, the power that everyone has hidden within them, such as Armament Haki, will be unearthed."

"Listen up, everyone! Starting tomorrow, anyone who doesn't have any work to do will have to undergo my special physical training, which means..."

As Rorschach spoke, he raised his right hand, a silvery arc of electricity emanating from his fingertips, which stood out starkly against the night sky.

"The current I release will forge your bodies."

"Brigadier General Rorschach's electric body forging..."

The soldiers looked at each other, their throats bobbing, appearing somewhat nervous and uneasy.

Many of them had witnessed the miserable state of the elite marines who had been electrocuted by Rorschach in Marineford Square.

Even those who haven't witnessed it firsthand have heard of the horrific scene of being electrocuted, experiencing muscle spasms, foaming at the mouth, and incontinence.

Now, the thought of having to undergo that kind of training, which sounds incredibly terrifying, is truly terrifying.

Suddenly, I felt inexplicably scared.

The main fear is that being electrocuted and losing control of one's bladder would result in instant death...

Bepo has a severe psychological trauma related to this.

So, as soon as Luo Xia mentioned the term "electric body tempering," he couldn't help but squeeze his legs together.

Seeing the apprehension and hesitation on the soldiers' faces, Luo Xia did not show any disdain. He simply said calmly, "I will not force those who do not want to accept this training."

"The process of electric body forging is indeed somewhat painful; it tests not only a person's physical body, but more importantly, it tests your will."

"I control this current. Under the precise control of my Observation Haki, I can accurately control the intensity of the current used to train your bodies within the limits that you can withstand."

"Therefore, there is no need to worry about being electrocuted or maimed by electric current."

"The only downside is that the inability to control the body after being electrocuted might lead to some embarrassing situations."

"However, what I want to say is that it's not about becoming strong enough to ensure your survival in future battles! It's about becoming strong enough to help your comrades, to realize everyone's dreams, and to uphold justice!"

"A mere bit of embarrassment is nothing to worry about!"

After Luo Xia finished speaking, a silence fell on the deck.

The naval soldiers, who had been somewhat hesitant and conflicted, immediately showed a look of shame on their faces.

Suddenly, a loud, somewhat muffled voice rang out from the crowd: "Brigadier General Rorschach! I! I want to undergo your electric body tempering! I want to become stronger!"

The soldiers were startled and all looked over there. They saw Palmer, who was ten meters tall, stand up like a crane among chickens, and face Rorschach with a firm expression.

“Very good! Parmel, you have good talent and considerable potential for growth. Starting tomorrow, I will guide you in your training so that you can awaken Armament Haki as soon as possible.”

Rorschach's eyes showed approval, and he nodded to Palmer with satisfaction.

"Really? I... I can awaken Armament Haki too? And have the power of Brigadier General Rorschach?"

Upon hearing Luo Xia's words, Pamel's eyes widened instantly, and his breathing became heavy.
