One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

But Jinbe blocked it.

But now is not the time to talk about that.

Luo Xia is in considerable trouble; we still need to find a way to resolve it.

Thinking this through, Sengoku asked again, "Isn't Issho still in Queen's Castle in Springtime? According to the intelligence we've gathered about him, his strength is terrifying, probably no weaker than a Marine Admiral. He's likely a Paramecia-type Gravity Fruit user, capable of manipulating gravity over a wide area. With his help, even a pirate fleet of 20,000 wouldn't pose much of a threat."

The number of 20,000 people sounds frightening.

But this is just a paradise, not a new world.

To put it bluntly...

The pirates in the park sound more sophisticated than those in the Four Seas.

But as long as you haven't been to the new world, you're still in the beginner's village.

If all those people gathered together, Sengoku believed that if Rorschach unleashed a single Conqueror's Haki attack, it would at least knock out more than half of the pirates.

"Mr. Yixiao shouldn't interfere in the direct war. He promised to protect the capital. Actually, that's enough. With my abilities, I'm not really that afraid of Gulliver's 20,000-strong pirate fleet."

Rorschach gave a wry smile. "I'm worried about the remaining forty explosive rocks. Who knows how Gulliver will use those things?"

“The explosive rock is indeed a big problem. That bastard Wang Zhi actually has such a dangerous thing as explosive rock hidden away. It seems that Sakazuki didn’t push him too far last time.” Sengoku frowned.

For a time, there wasn't a good solution.

The Enies Lobby is quite close to Spring Queen City.

However, the garrison on Enies Lobby is too weak.

The strongest Rob Lucci is right next to Rorschach.

Seeing that the Warring States also had no good solution, Luo Xia had no choice but to stand up and say:

"Marshal Sengoku, you don't need to worry too much. I will do my best to complete this mission! By the way, I have another question..."

"Won't headquarters send me to a military court because I've killed too many people?"

...

"Quickly! Move all residents of the city into the royal city and clear the ports on the outer edge of the island. From this moment on, initiate the highest level of war defense preparations for this city!"

Within the royal capital, teams composed of naval personnel, bounty hunters, and royal guards dispersed to every corner of the city, going door-to-door to notify every resident to seek emergency refuge within the city walls.

Rorschach walked out of the Hunter's Guild's headquarters and sighed as he looked at the somewhat familiar scene of chaos.

Whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made calamity, those most affected are ordinary civilians who have no control over their own lives.

This is true in the face of the Lakulana tsunami.

The same applies when facing pirate invasions and attacks.

Then, at the main gate outside the base, he saw Jonathan casually sitting on the stone steps, gently wiping the long knife in his hand with alcohol and cotton cloth.

When Rorschach came out, Jonathan looked up and stretched out a withered, bony hand towards him.

A question mark popped up above Rorschach's head.

"what are you doing?"

"Hmph! Stop pretending and give me back my things." Jonathan sneered.

It seems he's still holding a grudge against Rorschach for rejecting his invitation.

"I don't know what you're talking about? Where is Mr. Yixiao?"

Rorschach shrugged, took a step, and walked out onto the long street.

"Don't interrupt! Where did you put that bottle of luxury water that I gave you before? Give it back to me!"

Jonathan jumped up from the ground, gripping two soft knives, and darted in front of Rorschach, blocking his path.

"Oh...oh! You mean that one? Haha, I almost forgot, here you go."

Rorschach took the small, transparent glass bottle out of his pocket and tossed it over.

Jonathan hurriedly caught it.

He stared blankly at the glass bottle in his hand.

I thought Rorschach wouldn't give him the bottle of luxury water.

did not expect……

Seemingly understanding Jonathan's thoughts, Rorschach curled his lip and said, "Did you think I would advise you against using this thing? Heh, don't be naive. Since you've already made up your mind to die, what reason do I have to stop you? Don't you think so, King of Hunters?"

Jonathan's lips curled into a smile. He shoved the glass bottle into his pocket, put away the two soft knives, and fastened them to his waist like a belt. Then he patted Rorschach's arm and laughed:

"You're right, kid! No one has any reason to stop a man who's ready to die from fighting. Kid, in the upcoming battle, I'll have to ask you to fight alongside me. I'll take care of that traitor Gulliver, and you take care of the remaining 20,000 pirates, how about that?"

"No problem. What did Mr. Yixiao say?"

Looking at the smile on the old man's face, Luo Xia suddenly felt a pang of sadness for some reason.

"Yixiao said that Gulliver's fleet has already begun to move. It is estimated that the first batch of pirate fleets will arrive at the waters near the capital in no more than four hours."

Upon hearing this, Jonathan also stopped smiling and became serious.

Rorschach asked with a smile.

It's because Issho possesses Observation Haki, which allows him to perceive a wide range of things.

It is much larger than the range of his perception that can extend twenty or thirty miles when enhanced by lightning.

With the levitation ability of the Gravity Fruit, Rorschach asked Issho to go out to sea and help scout out the enemy's whereabouts.

"Now that the enemy has arrived, we must be prepared for battle at any time. Where is Mr. Yixiao? I would like to discuss the specific battle plan with him."

"After he came back, he went to help evacuate the residents."

About an hour later, Yixiao led the navy, bounty hunters, and several thousand armored royal guards who had finished evacuating the royal city's residents to the royal city's port.

Then everyone saw several sea monsters, each hundreds of meters long, floating on the sea near the port.

Those sea kings had huge slash wounds on their bodies.

The seawater along the shore was stained red with a large amount of blood.

Two men, one old and one young, were sitting on the shore, using long knives to cut chunks of sea king flesh, stuffing large pieces into their mouths and eating them in large, unreserved bites.

"Brother Luo Xia, what's going on here?" Yun Que stepped forward, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Let's replenish our energy for the upcoming battle." Rorschach smiled and waved to the navy and bounty hunters who had been busy for a while. "Come and have some too. There might be a tough battle ahead."

"Yes!"

The naval soldiers responded with a roar, drawing their swords and walking towards the sea king's corpse.

The bounty hunters looked at each other, speechless.

Only after Jonathan waved back did they swarm forward and begin cutting up the sea king's flesh.

"Mr. Yixiao, I may need to trouble you later to use your abilities to protect the rear of this island. Because of the disparity in troop strength, we need to force the enemy to confront us in this port and prevent them from spreading out too much."

Rorschach reached out and cut off a large chunk of sea king flesh, handing it to Yixiao who had walked over.

The meat chunks were incredibly fresh, cut from a sea monster that had only recently died, and blood was still dripping from them.

Ke Yixiao didn't mind at all. She smiled and took the piece of meat, sat down on the ground, took out her cane knife, cut off a small piece, and put it in her mouth.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. With me here, no one can enter this island from any other place outside the main port."

“Then I’m relieved.” Luo Xia tore off another large piece of bloody flesh, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it heartily, and turned to look at the azure sky and sea to his right.

"Let me lead the charge later."

Chapter 263 The Great Fleet Assembles

Just as Rorschach, Jonathan, and the others were making intensive preparations for the upcoming battle.

Pukki, a food city located 200 miles from the Queen's City of Spring.

The food city, which is usually bustling with activity, has seen an even greater influx of visitors in recent days.

Ships laden with pirates converged from various shipping routes and gathered at Pukki's port.

Hundreds of pirate ships of all sizes almost filled the sea outside the harbor.

A massive 20,000 pirates from all over the park have crammed this famous gourmet city into the throng, terrifying the city's native inhabitants who live in constant fear.

Fortunately, these pirates still gave their organizer Gulliver some face and didn't act too arrogantly or run amok in the city.

Even so, a large number of crimes have occurred in Pukki City in the past few days.

Fighting and brawling are minor matters.

Pirates have done plenty of things like kidnapping, murder, and arson.

There were too many people; even if Gulliver wanted to manage them, he couldn't.

Springtime Queen City, Food City, Amusement City—these nearby bustling cities are all territories that Gulliver wants to control in the future.

He didn't want these territories to be ruined by pirates.

However, compared to these trivial matters, Gulliver was more concerned about Jonathan's treasure trove.

as well as……

"We still haven't heard a word from Wagner, something must have happened to him! That brainless idiot, he's more trouble than he's worth, I have no idea what he was doing running off to there all by himself! Did he really think he could take down Jonathan all by himself? If it were that easy, I would have killed that old guy long ago!"

On a large ship moored in the harbor, Gulliver, who looked like a giant, sat on the ship's railing with a gloomy expression, raging.

On the deck in front of him sat a dozen burly men with indifferent yet excited expressions.

One of the bald men, with a cold and stern face, extended a finger that had transformed into a sharp blade and scraped the stubble on his chin. His voice was deep as he said, "Your subordinates haven't returned either, and the helpers from the New World have also run into trouble. Chairman Gulliver, don't you have anything to say?"

Gulliver looked down at the fearless bald man, a cold smile playing on his lips, his booming voice seeming to echo from his chest:

"What do you want me to say? Dazbonis, if you don't want to participate, don't want to get those hundreds of millions of Berries in hiring fees, and don't want the future shares of the Assassin's Guild, you don't have to participate. Look back, do you think I'm short of manpower?"

With that, Gulliver let out a heavy snort, his icy gaze sweeping across the faces of the other dozen or so people, increasing the pressure on them.

"You're the same; anyone who wants to quit is welcome to leave!"

Dazbonis's gaze was cold, and he said nothing.
