One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"What are you saying, you bastard? Do you want to die? Today I'm super strong, I can knock you down with one punch."

Franky straightened his back and glanced sideways at Deruston.

"Should we make a move? Your Franky family isn't here, so you're at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, Franky."

Barry, the vice president of Carrera Corporation, with a cigar in his mouth, squinted at Frankie.

Behind him stood a group of burly boatmen, each holding various ship repair tools, looking at Franky with ill intent.

Franky tugged at his underwear, curled his lip, and sneered, "A bunch of good-looking but useless bastards. I can take you all down by myself."

"What did you say? You lazy bum!"

On the warship, Luo Xia and the others looked at each other, watching as a fight broke out on the opposite ship in the blink of an eye.

Franky, that guy, was causing me trouble just a second ago.

The next second, however, he was about to fight with the Carrera shipwrights.

That's quite a temper.

Just as a fight was about to break out, a middle-aged man in a striped suit stepped out of the cabin and said in a gentle voice:

"Stop it, everyone! Fix the tracks quickly, don't delay everyone's travel time."

Upon seeing the approaching people, the Carrera crewmen quickly made way for them.

Franky glanced at the iceberg, snorted, said nothing, grabbed a large bag of tools, and jumped into the sea, swimming towards the outer hull of the warship.

"Let's put down the small boat and go down to check the situation."

Iceberg gave the order.

"Understood." Barry, with a cigar in his mouth, waved his hand, and immediately boatmen lowered several small boats that had been hanging on the side of the large ship onto the sea.

Meanwhile, on Rorschach's warship, a small lifeboat was lowered. Rorschach jumped aboard, and Bepo rushed over to help him row.

The boat was small, so none of the marines on board came down.

Just as Franky swam to the side of the warship's outer vessel, which was entangled in the rails, the seawater around him suddenly exploded, splashing up a large ball of water that pushed him far away.

"Damn it! What's going on?"

Franky steadied himself in annoyance and looked over, only to see a huge head emerge from the water. Without even looking at him, it swam toward the small boat that had been lowered from the warship.

"A... giant? It's super... huge!"

Franky looked at Palmer's muscular back and couldn't help but show a hint of envy.

Upon seeing Pamel's tall and robust physique, the Carrera shipwrights were all visibly shocked.

Iceberg's eyes flickered slightly.

This warship is something else.

There were giant soldiers.

Yes, while the other shipwrights mistook Palmer for the captain of the warship, only Iceberg recognized Palmer's true identity as a soldier.

The captain of the warship is probably that tall, slender, and ethereal young naval officer.

Iceberg's gaze swept over the epaulets on Luo Xia's shoulders, and he immediately understood.

But there was a hint of surprise on his face.

"What a young Navy Headquarters captain."

The two small boats quickly gathered around the outer hull of the warship.

Rorschach looked apologetic and reached out to the somewhat surprised Iceberg, saying:

"I presume you are the mayor of Water Seven, the president of Carrera Corporation, Mr. Iceberg, whom the train conductor mentioned?"

"I am Commodore Rorschach of the Navy Headquarters."

"I'm so sorry, my warship wasn't paying attention and got the train's tracks tangled in the propeller of the outer vessel, causing this accident and causing everyone trouble."

It turned out to be a brigadier general.

Iceberg's expression changed, and he quickly reached out to shake hands with Luo Xia.

He dared not be presumptuous in the slightest, tilting his head slightly as he looked at the naval commander before him, whose outstanding bearing was almost excessive, making him appear like a prince or some other nobleman, and chuckled:

“Hello, Brigadier General Rorschach, I am Iceberg.”

"It's not entirely your fault that the warship's propeller got tangled in the rails. The tracks of the sea train are all submerged underwater, making them difficult to spot from a distance. Actually, accidents like this happen several times a year, so it's not a big problem. My crew will be able to fix it quickly."

As he spoke, Iceberg looked at the sea train on the shore of Judiciary Island and asked the question that everyone present was wondering about.

"However, I am a little curious about how the Sea Train ended up on Enies Lobby? And it seems to be completely undamaged."

Before Rorschach could speak, Bepo, who was rowing the boat for him, stood with his hands on his hips and a smug look on his face, and said loudly:

"The sea train you mentioned was carried over by our Brigadier General and placed on the island."

Chapter 203 Unparalleled Divine Power

"Carried there by its wings? What does that mean?"

The boatmen looked at each other, puzzled as to what Bepo meant.

"Idiot, it means lifting the sea train up, flying it over the sea, and then placing it on the island. Don't you understand?"

Bepo raised his hands as if supporting the sky.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you think we're idiots? Navy."

The boatmen immediately looked at Bepo as if he were an idiot, ignoring the polar bear who was furious, and rowed their boats to the front of the outer ship.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and fix the track. I see that there are several loops of the track inside the outer wheel, and the rail might be stretched very tight. Make sure to hold it in place when you cut it, otherwise it will be difficult to reconnect the track once it comes apart."

"Damn it, they don't believe me! Everything I said is true!"

Bepo wanted to continue explaining, but nobody wanted to listen to him anymore.

Everyone thought he was bragging.

"Brigadier General, please explain to them! I really wasn't bragging, everyone saw it..."

Bepo felt wronged and almost cried.

"Alright, alright, if you don't believe me, that's fine too. It's not a big deal."

Rorschach bent down and stroked his furry bear head, offering words of comfort.

Iceberg's gaze shifted slightly as he turned to look again at the sea train parked on Judiciary Island.

Judging from its appearance, it certainly doesn't look like it flew there after deviating from its orbit.

If the train had derailed and crashed onto the shore, it would probably have fallen apart.

It's impossible for them to emerge unscathed.

Could it be that what the polar bear said was true?

If it's true, then the strength of this naval commodore in front of them is probably beyond their imagination.

Iceberg scrutinized Luo Xia once more, then suddenly a thought struck him, and he tentatively asked in a soft voice:

"Commander Rorschach, could you be the naval lieutenant commander who captured four pirates with bounties of over 100 million berries six months ago?"

"Hehe, it's me." Luo Xia didn't hide anything and admitted it very readily.

"Hiss..." Iceberg gasped.

They were shocked by Rorschach's identity and by how quickly he had been promoted in the military.

It is common knowledge that the higher the rank in the Navy, the more difficult it is to get promoted.

But this young man was only a major six months ago.

How long has it been?

He became a brigadier general.

That's almost equivalent to jumping over a major military rank.

"Brigadier General Luo Xia is truly a promising young man," Iceberg exclaimed sincerely.

Luo Xia smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he looked curiously at the railway tracks that everyone was struggling to pull.

“Mr. Iceberg, I’m very curious. How do you make the rails of this sea train float on the sea? The distance from Water Seven to Enies Lobby must be at least several tens of miles, right? How heavy must the rails be? How do they float up and support such a heavy sea train?”

"I've heard many people ask this question."

Iceberg pointed to the railway tracks submerged in the sea but not sunk, and said with a smile, "Have you ever heard of Kurugs wooden blocks?"

"Kurugus wood blocks? What are those?"

A question mark appeared above Rorschach's head.

He genuinely had never heard of this kind of wooden block.

"Kurugus wooden blocks are a type of wooden block with incredibly strong buoyancy. They can easily float objects that weigh tens or even hundreds of times their own weight. Isn't that amazing?"

Iceberg explained, "In the coating process for boats in Sabaody, this Kurugs super driftwood is an essential component."

"When the coated ship needs to rise from the sea, the coated bubbles are released one by one from the tied-up sections of Kurugs wood."

"The more wooden blocks released, the faster the coated ship will float."

Luo Xia listened with great interest and was quite shocked.

"These Kurugs wood blocks are really amazing. So, these railway tracks floating on the sea are supported by these wood blocks? How many wood blocks must have been used?"

"Not too many are needed."

Iceberg shook his head:

"You may not know this, but the metal components on these tracks are actually not heavy. They are a special kind of lightweight steel that has some buoyancy. By forging them into hollow tubes and attaching Kurugs wooden blocks underneath at intervals, the entire sea track, which stretches for dozens of miles, can float in the seawater and not sink."

"Amazing, no wonder it's a world-renowned miracle. Mr. Tom's skills were truly superb; his death is truly regrettable."

Rorschach couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, Iceberg's expression turned complicated. "Yes, Mr. Tom is indeed a great shipwright."
