One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

A large frog, swimming freestyle, wearing a loincloth and covered in scars, suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It stretched out its forelimbs, which looked like human hands, and slammed them hard into the pufferfish's round belly, making its eyes bulge out and involuntarily open its mouth, spitting out Rorschach.

Then, the frog swam over, stretched out its forelimbs, grabbed Rorschach, whose consciousness was fading, and swam towards the surface of the sea.

A few minutes later, at the foot of Water Seven, in a long-abandoned station, a frog wearing a loincloth threw the dazed Rorschach onto an old woman with a flushed face and hiccups.

Grandma Kokoro held a wine bottle in her hand, chugging down the wine, and scratched her head as she looked at the navy boy who had been thrown to the ground by the frog.

"Yokozuna, where did you bring this person back from? Hiccup~."

A frog named Yokozuna sat on the ground, gesturing with its two forelimbs and making croaking sounds.

"Oh, you rescued him from the mouth of a pufferfish whale? Hiccup~, well done, you saved another person from drowning. Mr. Tom will be pleased with your actions."

"Quack!"

Yokozuna immediately narrowed his eyes, looking very pleased.

Grandma Kokoro stood up unsteadily, walked to Rorschach, squatted down, examined his eyelids, and checked his breathing.

"Um……"

Grandma Kokoro fell into deep thought.

"Gu dong gu dong."

She tilted her head back, took another big gulp of wine, nodded, staggered, and plopped down on the ground next to Luo Xia.

"He's still alive, and he seems to have a lot of vitality. Where did this boy come from? I haven't seen him in Water Seven. That's strange. Could he have been swept here from somewhere by Lakula?"

"No, that's not right, Mother-in-law!"

A little girl with pigtails and green hair, who looked only four or five years old, trotted over from a distance with her short legs.

Beside her followed a rabbit that was meowing.

"Timney, Kumbh, hiccup~, where did you run off to? You'd better stay hidden in the abandoned station and not wander around. Lakulana hasn't gone away yet."

Grandma Kokoro was drunk, and her speech was somewhat slurred.

The little girl she called Timmy skipped over and squatted down in front of Rorschach, looking at him with wide, curious eyes and smiling as she spoke to Grandma Coco.

"Grandma, you're wrong. Lakula has already retreated, and the danger in Water Seven has passed."

"What did you say? Lakula has receded? Children shouldn't lie. The tide doesn't recede that quickly. These are the water gods. I've been here and haven't even felt the impact of the tsunami."

Grandma Kokoro struggled to open her eyes.

“It’s true!” Timmy, like a little elf, circled around Rorschach, ran to Grandma Kokoro’s side, and looked up with a grin, saying:

"Mother-in-law, I'm not lying."

She pointed at Rorschach lying on the ground, "This big brother turned into a monster, then into a big lion, and chased Lakula away."

"He turned into a monster, then into a giant lion, and chased Lakula away?"

Grandma Kokoro blinked, then grinned and burst into laughter.

She stroked her granddaughter's head and said with a smile, "Timney, you're so cute."

“I’m telling the truth, I’m not lying,” Timmy pouted.

"Meow!" The rabbit raised its paws.

"Croak, croak!" The frog patted its scarred belly, stretched out its two front legs, made a sumo wrestling motion, and pointed at Rorschach on the ground.

"What? You're saying he defeated Lakula using sumo moves? Hahaha, Yokozuna, you're cute too."

Grandma Kokoro chuckled.

Immediately, the man, the rabbit, and the frog all became dejected, squatting down in a row with their heads down, looking down at Luo Xia on the ground.

Suddenly, Timmy perked up and looked at Grandma Kokoro with expectant eyes.

“If Grandma doesn’t believe it, then wake up this older brother, and he will tell you the truth.”

"Okay, I'll wake him up right away."

Grandma Kokoro struggled to her feet, holding the wine bottle in her hand, and staggered over.

She looked at Luo Xia carefully again, then squatted down, pried open Luo Xia's mouth, shook the remaining half-bottle of strong liquor, first tilted her head back and took a big gulp, then let out a burp.

Then he poured the rest of the wine into Rorschach's mouth.

The moment the strong liquor entered his mouth, Luo Xia felt as if his throat was being burned by flames. He felt a spicy, scorching heat rushing straight to the top of his head, causing him to involuntarily shiver and suddenly open his eyes, snapping back to reality.

As soon as Luo Xia opened his eyes, he saw a mouth that stretched to the ears and a flushed face, and he screamed in fright.

"There's a monster!"

"Hiccup~, I'm not a monster, I'm a mermaid."

"Stop lying! Wait, the monster is talking!"

"How rude of me! I'm your savior, can't you even say thank you?"

"I'm sorry... Thank you for saving my life, Granny Monster."

Chapter 222? I'm dead?

"I couldn't find him... Even when I sent Emperor Blue to dive into the deep sea and search the seabed within a radius of several thousand meters, I still couldn't find him."

Exhausted, with his tongue lolling out, Franky lay on the back of Emperor Blue on the sea surface, his face filled with sorrow, and spoke in a hoarse voice to the iceberg on the small boat beside him.

"None of the Carrera Company employees have been able to find Brigadier General Rorschach."

Barry was soaking wet, the skin on his hands and feet was white from being soaked in seawater, and his tone was full of helplessness.

"The entire Franky Dismantling Room team also found nothing!"

Zambai gritted his teeth, his face full of guilt.

They used to go against the navy like that.

They stole someone's money, refused to admit it, and even ambushed and injured several naval soldiers.

However, the other party did not pursue their responsibility afterward.

According to Mr. Iceberg, the naval commander will forgive Brother Franky for what he did.

The people who ultimately saved Water Seven were also the Marines they were targeting.

If Rorschach hadn't stepped in and confronted Lakula head-on...

None of them will survive that apocalyptic super tsunami.

The long dive had exhausted a lot of my energy.

In addition, his skin cracked and turned white from being soaked in seawater.

Most of the residents had climbed onto the boats floating on the sea to rest.

Only those fifty-odd naval personnel stubbornly continued the process of surfacing and diving.

Luo sat motionless on the small boat, like a piece of wood.

On Carrera's large ship, Iceberg listened to everyone's reports, pursed his lips, and began to put on his bulky and heavy diving suit.

Seeing this, Franky sighed inwardly, slid off Emperor Blue, and jumped onto the deck.

“Let me do it, Iceberg. Your physical condition isn’t good enough, and this diving suit hasn’t been used in who knows how long. If the diving suit malfunctions in the deep sea, given your physical condition, you’ll definitely be in trouble…”

As he spoke, he reached out to grab the diving suit on the iceberg, but the iceberg blocked his hand.

"You..." Franky froze on the spot.

Iceberg continued putting on his diving suit, gritting his teeth, and his hoarse voice squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Rorschach sacrificed himself to save Water Seven."

As the mayor of the Water City, I have a duty to bring him back.

We cannot allow the remains of heroes to be buried in this cold, deep sea.

Even if it means dying for this, it would be worth it!

Everyone around fell silent.

"Zabi! Where's my Coke? Bring it to me right now!"

Franky clenched his fist, which exposed the steel structure, and roared.

Zambry moved his lips and ran over carrying a case of cola.

Franky opened his abdomen, put several large bottles of cola inside, grabbed a few more bottles, opened them, and gulped them down.

"Brother Franky, there's only one diving suit. Do you really want to go down? It'll be very dangerous! Even though you're a cyborg, the water pressure in the deep sea is terrifying. Even an Iron Man would be crushed! Brother!"

Zanbai looked anxious and spoke up to persuade him.

"Shut up!"

Franky grabbed the Coke bottle and slammed it heavily onto the deck below him, making a loud bang that sent shivers down the spines of his henchmen.

"If it weren't for saving me, the thief, that brother would never have been sent flying by Lakula!"

"I am the sinner who has implicated the hero!"

"Iceberg! Let's go down together! Find him! Alive or dead!"

Franky stared wide-eyed and shouted.

"Mr. Iceberg!"

"Brother Franky!"

In an instant, the eyes of those around him reddened.

On the sea surface, the seawater broke open again, and a lark with cracked lips emerged from underwater, its face extremely pale and bloodless.

She finally released her tightly clenched lips, her mouth agape, and tears streamed down her face.

After suppressing her despair for more than an hour, she could no longer hold back and her choked sobs echoed across the sea.

Peng En, Bepo, and the others surfaced and froze upon hearing Lark's cries, their eyes reddening as they could no longer hold back their tears.

On the small boat, Luo gripped the brim of his hat with his five fingers and pulled it down with all his might.
