One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"My plan is to go to Queen City of Spring alone to investigate the dynamite rock incident and retrieve the weapons."

Upon hearing Rorschach's words, Lark immediately shook his head:

"No, Brother Rorschach, it will be very dangerous for you to go to the Bounty Hunter Guild headquarters alone."

Even if you don't want to bring me, you still have to bring Luo.

His abilities would be of great help even to you, Brother Luo Xia.

Moreover, Luo is also an excellent doctor.

"What are you thinking?" Rorschach smiled wryly. "The reason I plan to go on this mission alone is because I'm not too comfortable with the safety of Water Seven."

"You've already dealt with those three guys who suddenly appeared just now; they're all tough characters."

Now that I have injured them, we have become enemies.

With the loss of explosive rocks, I'm afraid those people will hold a grudge and come back to kill us.

So you, Law, Penn, and the others, all stay here and protect Water Seven, and keep an eye on the warships we are building.

This task is equally arduous, and I don't know how dangerous it will be. Are you confident?

Upon hearing this, both Yun Que and Luo became serious.

I understand what Rorschach meant.

"Brother Rorschach, don't worry. Leave Water Seven to us. Just be careful."

Luo Xia nodded and looked at Luo, "Luo, I'm leaving this to you. You must be extremely careful in the next few days and not let your guard down."

"Yes, don't worry." Luo also knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded silently.

"I'll leave Water Seven to you now. I must set off as soon as possible, or things might change."

Luo Xia immediately waved his hand and strode away decisively.

After giving Iceberg a few instructions, telling him to treat the next few days as an emergency like a tsunami, to keep the whole city on alert, and to protect the citizens.

Rorschach immediately headed to the Sea Train station in Water Seven.

A few minutes later, the sea train sounded a sharp whistle and pulled out of the station, speeding along the tracks laid out on the sea toward Spring Queen City, an island to the right of Enies Lobby.

Inside the second carriage of the sea train.

Luo Xia smiled as he looked at the only figure in the carriage.

"You've arrived?"

"Hmph, you have quite the power to persuade the higher-ups to send CP9 to assist you in your mission."

Rob Lucci, with a snow-white dove perched on his shoulder, sat back in his chair with his arms crossed, looking at Rorschach with an indifferent expression.

Luo Xia walked to the seat opposite him in the aisle to his right, stretched, and said, "Hehe, I thought you would refuse, but I didn't expect..."

"CIPHER POL will carry out any order from the World Government unconditionally. We are not like your Navy, which often acts insincerely just because we are large."

A mocking smile appeared on Lucci's face.

"Oh ho, so you're feeling proud of being a dog? You're really shameless, Lucci."

Rorschach reclined in his seat, his right elbow resting on the armrest, his chin propped up by his fist, glancing sideways at Lucci and retorting without any politeness.

"What did you say?"

Lu Qi narrowed his eyes, his cold gaze fixed on Luo Xia.

Luo Xia raised an eyebrow and pursed his lips slightly.

"That's terrifying, Lucci. You've really gotten cocky, haven't you? What's wrong? You're asking for a beating, aren't you?"

"What did you say?"

Lu Qi's face instantly contorted into a ferocious expression, and he stood up from his seat.

The white dove perched on his shoulder fluttered its wings and flew away in a panic.

"Oh? You're not convinced?"

Rorschach stood up casually, his 2.7-meter height almost touching the ceiling of the carriage, looking down at the ferocious-looking Rob Lucci.

"It's only been a few days, and you've already forgotten the pain?"

"you……!"

A cold glint flashed in Lucci's eyes, and his right index finger shot out like lightning, aiming for Rorschach's face.

Finger gun!

Luo Xia stared in astonishment at the layer of black covering the finger that was thrusting at him.

"No wonder he's so tough, he's awakened Armament Haki. Hiss, it's only been a few days? As expected of a once-in-eight-hundred-years genius from CP9, he awakened Armament Haki after just one beating."

That's...terrifying.

"Shh!"

Rorschach's figure vanished from Lucci's sight in an instant, appearing in the passageway beside him.

Despite the cramped space of the carriage, his speed was not affected in the slightest.

Missing his first strike, Lucci decisively changed tactics, raising his right leg and kicking Rorschach in the chest like a rabbit kicking an eagle.

The right leg kicked out with such speed and force that it even produced a sharp whistling sound in the narrow carriage.

However, faced with such a fierce kick at such close range, Luo Xia simply flashed away again and disappeared from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already behind Lucci, and with a thud, it slapped him on the head.

"Slow, too slow," he said lazily, which infuriated Lu Qi.

A deep, guttural roar echoed in Lucci's throat.

The next instant, his body swelled and grew taller, transforming into a slender leopard-man form. His bent legs touched the passageway, and his large hands clenched into fists, covered with a layer of jet-black Armament Haki, before smashing towards Rorschach's face.

"Go to hell!"

"Sorry, that won't do."

Rorschach casually raised his left hand, fingers spread, and caught Lucci's incoming fist.

Rorschach's large hand gripped his fist. Lucci tried to pull his wrist away, but his fist remained firmly in Rorschach's grasp, still holding it with a smile on his face.

This guy...

A hint of humiliation flashed in Lucci's eyes. He clenched his left fist and punched Rorschach in the armpit and abdomen again.

"Stop joking around. This is the Sea Train, and we're still hundreds of miles from our destination. I don't want to fly there on Moonwalk if I damage the Sea Train."

Luo Xia shook his head, clenched his right fist, a deep blue color covering the knuckles, and struck out in an instant, punching Lu Qi in the abdomen before Lu Qi's left fist could hit his waist and abdomen.

"Oh!"

The terrifying force sent Lucci flying into the air.

If Luo Xia hadn't been holding his right fist, that one punch would have sent him crashing through the overhead carriage and flying outside.

Lu Qi's body arched, his mouth gaped open, his whole body shaken by the terrifying force. He felt his muscles go numb, his bones crack, and his knees buckled, causing him to kneel before Rorschach.

Rorschach sat back down in his chair, propping his chin up as he looked at Lucci, whose face was contorted with humiliation.

"Get up quickly, or if someone sees you, they'll think I'm bullying you."

You're such a grown-up, don't be so naughty next time.

One should always be humble.

Chapter 244 Standoff

"Clang, clang."

The wheels of the sea train collided incessantly with the tracks on the sea surface, producing a rhythmic, dull sound that made people drowsy.

After a friendly exchange...

Lucci reverted to his usual aloofness, wearing a white hat and sitting silently with his arms crossed.

Only the white dove perched on his shoulder occasionally turned its head, peeking at Rorschach with its bright little eyes.

This pigeon is quite interesting.

Rorschach glanced at the white dove dressed in a suit, and such a thought popped into his mind.

Originally, he thought Lucci was using pigeons as a disguise, pretending that the pigeons on his shoulder were talking through ventriloquism.

To his surprise, sometimes it was indeed the pigeon that was speaking.

Moreover, it is very human-like and intelligent.

Rorschach extended his index finger, and the pigeon perched on Lucci's shoulder immediately flapped its wings, flew over, and landed on his finger.

"Cuckoo."

The pigeon made a sound in its throat, pecked at Rorschach's finger with its sharp beak, and blinked its dark eyes.

"Cute little thing."

Luo Xia's lips curled slightly, and he couldn't resist reaching out to tease the bird that was pretending to be stupid.

Suddenly, his expression shifted slightly. He looked at the sea outside the right window and stood up.

Lu Qi noticed his movement, and with a cold expression, followed his gaze.

But they gained nothing.

"We've found those people. Come with me."

Luo Xia left a sentence, pushed open the window of the Sea Train, and nimbly leaped out of the window. In a flash, he had already stepped on Moonwalk and darted dozens of meters away.

Lucci didn't say anything, he just silently followed.

A white dove dressed in a small suit flapped its wings and followed the two at a distance.

A dozen miles away, on the sea, two ships of vastly different sizes were facing each other.

On that small wooden boat, only about five meters long, were three large, stout men.
