One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

He believed that if he worked a little harder, he could improve his Armament Haki to a higher level.

Once I can cover my entire body, I can find Rorschach and avenge myself.

But now.

Damn it, their bodies are covered in more than just their own bodies.

The entire ship was covered!

Moreover, that kid looked completely calm and unaffected, as if he hadn't exerted himself at all!

Moria stared at the deep blue light before him, his lips moved, but no sound came out.

After a long pause, he stared intently at Luo Xia and nodded.

"Fine, fine, so you're going to play it this way, huh?"

"Fine! You win."

His figure suddenly turned into a dark shadow, quickly faded, and disappeared from Lucci and Serra's sight.

But Luo Xia suddenly turned his head, leaped up, spread his five fingers, and released a ball of blazing lightning, sending it to the right.

"Shh!"

The raging ball of lightning flew hundreds of meters in an instant and exploded on the distant sea surface.

"boom!"

The sea surface trembled, blasting open a sky full of seawater.

A muffled groan came from the spilled seawater.

In the dim light, there seemed to be a faint shadow, almost imperceptible, skimming along the surface of the sea and disappearing at high speed.

The shadow that passed through was the shadow of the clouds cast by the sunlight in the sky.

"This guy really does have the ability to escape using his shadow."

Rorschach landed back on the ship, and according to his Observation Haki, Moria's presence quickly receded until it completely disappeared.

only……

Rorschach frowned.

He always felt that something was off about Moria.

He had clearly perceived all the fighting and conversations that had taken place on the ship earlier using his Observation Haki.

Rorschach also knew what Mori Ichiro had said.

Mori Ichiro said that Gulliver, the vice president of the bounty hunters' guild, would be coming.

But Gulliver didn't come; it was Moria who did.

This is illogical.

No matter how despicable Moria is, he would never willingly become a bounty hunter's henchman, running errands and doing odd jobs.

Don't mention Gulliver.

Even the Four Emperors of the New World wouldn't make that fat otaku willingly run errands.

Although they are weak, they still have their pride.

As the deep blue aura covering her feet and body gradually dissipated and shrank back into the body of the boy in front of her, Sera looked at Rorschach with starry eyes.

A blush crept onto her face as she walked somewhat shyly to Luo Xia and opened her mouth.

"You...you're willing..."

Holy crap.

Is it really necessary to be so direct?

Luo Xia's heart skipped a beat.

Would you like to join the Bounty Hunter Guild? The kind where you can become the vice-president right away!

"What did you say? You're inviting me to join the Bounty Hunters Guild?"

Luo Xia stared blankly at the woman in front of him, who was dressed in a somewhat unconventional style, covered in silver chains, and had tattoos.

Sera nodded rapidly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Yes, you heard me right, I really want to invite you to join our Bounty Hunter Guild!"

The compensation package is excellent; with your abilities, you could be appointed as the vice president directly. I will recommend you to Grandpa.

At that time, you will not only have the power to command the core members of the guild, but also the qualification to exchange for many valuable resources.

And there's a salary, yes, the vice president's salary is very high. One hundred million Berries a month, the same as an admiral in your Marine Headquarters.”

Luo Xia glanced at the woman, then at Lu Qi, and scratched his head in confusion.

"Am I crazy, or are you crazy?"

He pointed to his face and said, "I am a dignified commodore of the Navy Headquarters, a promising young man of the new era in the Navy, and I would give up my bright future at Headquarters to join your Bounty Hunter Guild? Am I crazy?"

"Hey, don't be so heartless~. You don't even want the vice president position, so how about... you just become our president?"

Sera leaned closer, blinking her smoky purple eyes as she asked.

"Become the president directly? Hmm... Your grandfather isn't dead yet, is he? Would he so readily hand over the position to an outsider like me?"

Luo Xia curled his lip, not believing it at all.

Seeing him turn and walk towards Mori Ichiro, Sera suddenly became anxious.

She ran a few steps and approached Luo Xia again, picking at her fingers, a shy pink blush rising on her face, her voice trembling: "Outsiders...maybe not, but if you become one of us, then there's still a chance."

"What do you mean?"

Luo Xia flipped over the two dark, humanoid figures on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that they were still alive.

“It’s just…it’s just…” Sera said somewhat awkwardly, her silver chains rattling as she shook them, making Rorschach’s lips twitch.

"I'm marrying you! Once you become my husband, you'll no longer be an outsider, and it will be perfectly legitimate for you to inherit the Hunter's Guild founded by my grandfather!"

Sera hesitated for a long time before finally gritting her teeth and saying those words.

After saying that, her face turned completely red, and she covered her face in embarrassment, too ashamed to show it to anyone.

"what?"

A big question mark appeared above Rorschach's head.

What does this woman mean?

Is this a way for him to marry into the Bounty Hunters Guild and become a live-in son-in-law?

What a joke! I'm going to become the King of the Navy, cough cough, the Admiral of the Navy!

The guild leader of a bounty hunter guild with such a small stature has such a narrow mindset.

The key is……

"Sorry, you're not my type."

Rorschach refused decisively, without any hesitation.

"Why? Am I not pretty enough?"

Sera looked disappointed and let go of her hands that were covering her cheeks.

Luo Xia carefully examined the unconventional woman in front of him.

To be honest, Sera is quite pretty.

Purple eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly thick lips painted with red lipstick.

Combined with her short, choppy pink hair, this woman possessed a unique charm.

However, the other person's overly unconventional tattoos and metal pendants made Luo Xia hesitate.

No, you are very beautiful.

Luo Xia's words made Sera's eyes light up.

"But unfortunately, we're not a good match. I'm too young and don't want to get married so early. Thank you for your consideration; you're a good person."

"what?"

A question mark appeared on Sera's forehead.

What do you mean I'm a good person?!

This sounds so awkward.

“By the way…” Rorschach pointed to Lucci standing behind her and raised his chin, “You can ask him. His name is Rob Lucci, and he’s a rare genius. Maybe he’d be willing to become your Hunter Guild’s son-in-law.”

Lu Qi gave him a cold sidelong glance, then turned around with a dark face, presenting the back of his head to Rorschach.

"Hmph! If you don't want to, fine, but why are you trying to sell others on me? I'm not that kind of desperate woman; I've never seen an outstanding man."

Sera pouted and muttered, "How can he compare to you? He's not tall, he's not good-looking, his Armament Haki isn't as monstrous as yours, and his strength is far inferior. I must have been blind to marry him; he might not even be able to beat Andrei... By the way, where's Andrei?"

Luo Xia, listening behind her, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Hey, woman, that knife of yours is stabbing right into Lucci's heart.

Be careful not to get caught up in the petty CP9 genius's little notebook, which could be reported to your Bounty Hunter Guild later.

On the other side, Sera, who finally remembered her missing companion, quickly called over a hundred hunters who had been floating in the water for a long time onto the boat.

The bounty hunters immediately dispersed to various parts of the sailboat and began to inspect the vessel.

Sera sighed with a worried look on her face: "It's over. The mast is broken, and without the sails, even if the ship doesn't sink, we won't be able to get back to Queen Spring City. We didn't bring any Den Den Mushi either. What are we going to do now?"

“That’s easy. I’ll take care of steering the boat; you just need to point out the directions.”

Luo Xia walked over carrying his halberd, looking in a certain direction on the sea with a strange expression.

"Huh? You're going to sail the boat? But... there aren't even masts or sails on the boat, how are you going to sail it?"

Sera was stunned.

Soon, the astonishment on her face turned into surprise.
