One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

No one understood their captain's stubborn personality better than the crew members themselves.

Given their stubborn personalities, it's quite possible that they could have a long, drawn-out duel in the small garden.

However, nearly a hundred years have passed since then.

"I know it's hard for you to believe, but if you two are willing to join the Navy, I can let you go to Little Garden first. Then, whether you persuade the two captains to return to their hometowns or not is up to you. Of course, if you can get them to join the Navy, I can guarantee that they will both become Vice Admirals of the Navy Headquarters immediately."

Rorschach spoke with conviction and great seriousness.

He certainly wasn't qualified to let anyone become a high-ranking officer in the Navy Headquarters.

But the identities of the two giants, Brogy and Dorry, were extraordinary.

They were the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, who were famous throughout the world a hundred years ago, and were idols and heroes worshipped by countless giants in the giant village of Elbaf.

His status was in no way inferior to that of the elders of Elbaf.

It can be said that regardless of whether its combat capabilities meet the standards of a vice admiral.

As long as they have this identity, if the two of them can join the Navy, there will definitely be a steady stream of giant warriors joining the Navy in the future!

So, if they were really willing to join the navy, Sengoku would probably be grinning from ear to ear every night.

This is one of the reasons why Rorschach told the two giants, Oimo and Kashi, this truth.

Elbaf is known as the strongest village in the world not only because all its inhabitants are powerful Titans, but also because it must have hidden high-level combat power.

Even someone as powerful as Big Mom coveted Elbaf.

This demonstrates the importance of the giant race.

If Palmer was the first step in the Warring States period to befriend the giants...

So Oimo and Cassie are Rorschach's second move.

In the future, there may be a third move, such as Haildin.

Step by step, they won over the powerful giant race and made them allies of the Navy.

“We believe in Brigadier General Rorschach. A strongman like you wouldn’t resort to such a joke to tease us.”

The expressions on Oimo and Cassie's faces were incredibly complex.

There is anger over being deceived by the world government.

I'm happy to know that the two captains are alright.

There is sadness for the decades that have been wasted.

After a long while, the two of them finally calmed down from their intense emotional fluctuations.

Oimo took a deep breath, looked at Rorschach, and said hesitantly, "Commodore Rorschach, why...why are you telling us this? Aren't the Navy and the World Government in cahoots?"

"The World Government is the World Government, and the Navy is the Navy. I don't care what the Navy was like in the eyes of the world before; in the future, the Navy must truly shoulder the banner of justice and become the most powerful force of justice in the world!"

Luo Xia grinned, revealing a powerful confidence on his increasingly mature face.

In Oimo and Cassie's eyes, Rorschach's confidence was not the result of overestimating his abilities or being arrogant.

Rather, it is a powerful and resolute belief.

He possesses a commanding presence.

The two looked at each other and then nodded at the same time.

"Commodore Rorschach, we are willing to join the Navy."

Oimo turned back to look in the direction of Enies Lobby, a hint of worry on his face: "However, I'm worried that the World Government won't let us leave easily..."

“You don’t need to worry about that at all.” Rorschach raised his hand and took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket. “Someone will handle the World Government’s concerns. Please wait a moment while I contact headquarters to confirm your identities as Marines.”

As he spoke, he dialed the Sengoku Den Den Mushi directly.

The Den Den Mushi rang only a few times before it was answered.

Sengoku's voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Rorschach, what's wrong?"

"It's like this, sir, there's something I need to report to you..."

Rorschach, holding a Den Den Mushi, recounted the story of Oimo and Kashi to Sengoku.

"That's how it is. My idea is to gradually make contact with the village of giants in Elbaf through these two people, and build a good relationship step by step, laying the foundation for the two major forces to become allies in the future."

Before Luo Xia could finish speaking, he received high praise from Sengoku.

“No problem! I will personally speak to the World Government. You can do as you see fit. I look forward to your idea. Well done! Tell those two giants that the Navy thanks them for protecting Enies Lobby. Grant them the rank of lieutenant colonel for now, and we can assign them their positions once they arrive at Marineford.”

Rorschach hung up the Den Den Mushi and looked at Oimo and Cassie with a smile.

"Congratulations to you both. Admiral Sengoku has personally ordered that you be granted the rank of Lieutenant Commander of the Navy Headquarters."

"From today onwards, you are free to set sail at any time and go to the Little Garden on the Grand Line. After meeting the two captains, go to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, as soon as possible. There, the Headquarters will assign you suitable positions."

"Lieutenant Colonel...?"

Oimo's mouth dropped open.

"I just joined and I'm already an officer like Lieutenant Colonel Penn? Am I dreaming?"

Cassie was also stunned.

"Hahaha, although you were deceived and served as a gatekeeper for over forty years, it's still a great achievement! Warriors of the giant race will basically become high-ranking officers in the navy; a lieutenant colonel is just the starting point for you."

Rorschach extended his hand. "Welcome to the family of justice!"

Chapter 206 Frogs and the Theft

A few hours later, Rorschach, along with Hibari, Law, and fifty agile naval soldiers, boarded the sea train back to Water Seven.

Because of his enormous size, Palmer was left on Enies Lobby, where he could also reconnect with his two kin.

The second carriage of the Sea Train was reserved for World Government officials and was not open to the general public.

As Rorschach boarded the Shanghai train, he noticed that Rob Lucci and Kaku had quietly slipped inside.

Rorschach didn't intend to chat with the two of them. Instead, he led a group of marines and booked the entire third carriage.

Inside the carriages, the vast majority of marines were riding a marine train for the first time.

At this moment, their faces were filled with curiosity and excitement as they constantly looked around at their surroundings.

"Speaking of which, since Enies Lobby is also an island that the sea train must pass through, why don't we see any stations here?"

Rorschach sat in the right aisle, looking at Penn, who was sitting to his left, with some confusion.

Upon hearing that he was going to Water Seven to defend against the tsunami Lakulana, Penn insisted on going with him.

Rorschach couldn't sway his stubbornness and had no choice but to agree.

Hearing Rorschach's confusion, Peng En, who was sitting quite solemnly and upright in his seat, said in a serious tone:

"Brigadier General Rorschach may not know this, but it is not allowed to build a platform here on Enies Lobby. If we need to take the sea train, we have to take a boat to get close first. This is for the protection of Enies Lobby and to prevent unauthorized personnel from approaching it at will."

"I see."

Rorschach suddenly realized.

Enies Lobby stands alongside Marine Headquarters and Impel Down as one of the three strongholds of justice.

Although not as important as Marineford and Impel Down, it still symbolizes the power and status of the World Government.

It is a strategically important military location.

"Brother Luo Xia! Look! The sea is receding! The sea train is going much faster than the normal speed of a warship!"

Lark, looking excited, sat on his right by the window, sticking his head out of the window to watch the seascape rushing past outside the train.

"Don't stick your head out of the window when you're on a bus; it's very dangerous."

Luo Xia smiled and offered a reminder.

Seeing the girl's joyful expression, it seemed as if his own mood improved as well.

"Huh? Why is it so dangerous? There's nothing outside the train!"

Lark turned his head slightly, looking at Rorschach with a dazed expression.

Rorschach smiled without saying a word.

Before Yun Que could finish speaking, a dark shadow suddenly ripped through the seawater close to the train not far in front of her, shooting straight towards Yun Que's small head sticking out of the window like a sharp arrow.

The shadowy figure was so fast that even the lark couldn't react in time.

Rorschach's right hand shot out like lightning, brushing past the girl's ear, and with a grab of his five fingers, he caught the dark figure that had broken through the water and held it in the water.

"Arrowhead...swordfish?"

The lark's small mouth was slightly open as it stared blankly at the swordfish, which was nearly a meter long and was struggling and wriggling in Luo Xia's hand, looking very energetic.

But its sharp, spear-like mouth was only an inch away from its head.

One can imagine what would have happened if Rorschach hadn't intervened.

There might be a swordfish stuck in her forehead by now.

Thinking of this, Yun Que's excitement cooled down instantly, her face turned slightly pale, and she looked at the swordfish that Luo Xia had casually tossed into the sea with lingering fear.

She pulled her head back from the window, patted her nascent chest with lingering fear, and looked at Luo Xia.

“Brother Luo Xia, you’re absolutely right. It’s best not to lean out of the window when riding the sea train. Otherwise, you might be in mortal danger.”

"Haha, it's not that serious." Luo Xia reached out and ruffled her hair.

Suddenly, everyone in the carriage heard exclamations coming from the carriages behind them.

"What happened?"

Peng En was the first to stand up, frowning as he quietly pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

The lark pricked up its ears and listened carefully, then suddenly looked again at the sea outside the right-hand car window.

"They're saying there's something on the sea chasing the sea train."

"The Sea-Chasing Train? Is it a pirate train?"
