One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Hey! Who are you people? Can't you see the city gates are closed? What are you doing here?"

Outside the closed city gate stood several burly soldiers in armor.

Although they are called soldiers, judging from their casual posture, whether standing or sitting, and the wine jugs and kebabs they are holding, you can tell that these soldiers are definitely imposters.

What soldier would dare to be drunk while on guard duty in broad daylight?

Hearing the pirates shout loudly.

The dozen or so officers behind Drake tensed up and looked at him.

Drake coughed, straightened his somewhat stiff face, took two steps forward, and said with a smile, "I am a pirate who has been invited to attend the royal city's grand event."

"Pirates? Another unfamiliar face. Which pirate crew are you from?"

The pirates guarding the gate were unfazed, seemingly having seen plenty of pirates arriving from all over the world in the past few days.

"The Blade Pirates, I am the captain of the Blade Pirates, Drake..." Drake rolled his eyes, "Dakeshi."

"The Blade Pirates?"

The pirates looked at each other, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

The bearded pirate who had been asking questions frowned, waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away a fly:

"Never heard of you! Just another piece of trash trying to make a quick buck in the capital. You thugs should go back to your hometown and bully the honest villagers. You stupid fools who don't know your own limitations."

"Thugs and hooligans? Are you talking about me?"

Drake was a little stunned, pointing to his own nose, "I am the dignified... pirate captain Drake, with a great reputation, and you actually call me a thug?"

"Famous?" The bearded man scoffed. "How many Berries is your bounty? Tell me."

"Bounty?" Drake blinked, glanced back at Rorschach, and subconsciously scratched his face.

"Tch, no bounty on your head, and you claim to be famous? Get lost while I'm in a good mood!"

The bearded man's spittle sprayed all over Drake's head and face.

Suddenly, the bearded man noticed the peacock standing behind Drake, and his mouth immediately opened wide, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

What a beautiful woman!

The bearded man's eyes lit up immediately.

"Hey! What kid? If you let this woman play with me for a few days, I'll let you go in and make some money, how about it?"

The bearded man called out to Drake, but his right hand had already instinctively reached for the peacock's arm.

Although he was asking questions, the bearded man thought Drake and his gang were just a bunch of country bumpkins.

As a pirate, how could I possibly look down on these petty thugs?

Pirates, of course, will simply steal what they want.

The bearded man was still thinking to himself that if Drake and the others were blind, he would just kill them right here at the gates of the royal city.

What's the difference between a bunch of useless trash who don't even have a bounty and the civilians they slaughter at will?

Drake was still stunned and at a loss.

Luo Xia strode up to the burly, bearded pirate, reached out his right hand, grabbed the pirate's outstretched wrist, and twisted it downwards!

Click!

With a crisp crack, the bearded man's right wrist bent downwards at a right angle.

A piercing pain surged through him, and the bearded pirate's mouth gaped open.

Rorschach's lips curled into a cruel smile.

He released the broken arm with his right hand, grabbed it upwards, and pinned it down on the bearded man's face, silencing his scream that was about to burst from his throat.

Luo Xia flicked his wrist, grabbed the bearded man, and flung him forward.

The burly pirate, clad in full armor, was transformed into a cannonball, crashing heavily against the heavy city gate.

Bang!

Chapter 32 Would you still be a pirate if you weren't arrogant? [Please add to your favorites]

Bang!

The heavy city gate emitted a dull, loud thud.

The dust that had accumulated on the gate began to fall down in a flurry.

The bearded pirate, as big as a metal can and weighing at least several hundred pounds, immediately smashed a crack in the city gate.

"you......."

Drake and the dozen or so officers behind him stared wide-eyed as Rorschach slowly withdrew his right hand and coldly looked at the remaining pirate soldiers.

"Damn it! How dare you make a move? You're asking for death!"

The other pirates were also stunned by this sudden turn of events. It took them a long time to come to their senses. They immediately drew their weapons in anger and charged towards Rorschach, Drake, and the others.

Drake was still in a daze, and looked at Rorschach as he said in a low, urgent voice:

"Hey kid, what happened to disguising yourself as a pirate and sneaking into the city? Why are you resorting to violence? If this gets out of hand, our mission..."

"Captain Dicos, what are our identities now?"

Rorschach spoke expressionlessly, coldly watching seven or eight tin cans brandishing spears and charging towards him.

"Pirates...?"

"That's right, we are pirates."

As he spoke, Rorschach strode toward the oncoming tin can.

"Since they're pirates, their style of doing things will naturally be..."

Be more arrogant!

He clenched his right fist, dodged a pirate's spear with a quick movement, and punched the pirate in the chest.

Bang!

A clear fist-shaped indentation was visible on the iron breastplate.

An immense force erupted, sending the unfortunate pirate flying.

Luo Xia's lips curled up, bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes, and he struck with lightning speed, delivering several punches to the three pirates.

Bang bang bang!

The three pirates gaped, feeling as if their internal organs had been completely jumbled up by that punch, their stomachs and intestines seemingly shattered in an instant.

Under the immense force of the impact, the three didn't even have time to cry out in pain before they were knocked unconscious by the force. Like cannonballs, they crashed into their companions behind them, following in the footsteps of the bearded man, one after another, slamming heavily against the city gate behind them.

Drake and the others heard a series of loud bangs.

Then, the tightly closed gates of the royal city were slowly pushed open.

The horizontal bar tied to the door was violently shaken and broke.

"Alright, you can go in now."

Rorschach turned his head and shouted to the crowd standing behind him.

Drake's lips moved.

What happened to the plan to enter the city discreetly?

"Heh, what an interesting guy. Maybe he's right. Since we're pirates now, we shouldn't be too conservative in our approach."

Peacock chuckled and followed Luo Xia through the city gate.

Drake and the officers behind him stared at each other blankly, then hurriedly followed.

"Who dares to cause trouble on my turf?"

As soon as the group entered the city, they heard a loud, thunderous roar.

Behind the wide-open city gate, dozens of fierce pirates had gathered.

These pirates weren't wearing any royal soldiers' armor to conceal their identities.

Instead, they openly revealed their pirate identities.

The pirate who roared was a huge, obese man over three meters tall.

The giant's body, covered in fat, continued to vibrate and sway as he spoke.

He was still tearing at a piece of meat with a bone in his right hand, his mouth dripping with oil.

He glanced at Luo Xia and the others with his big, round eyes, then reached out his greasy hand and grabbed a pirate who was still groaning on the ground.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Upon seeing the fat man's face, the pirate whose head had been grabbed was so terrified that he even forgot the excruciating pain he was in.

He stammered, "Lord Trul... they want to enter the city, they say they're from the Blade Pirates."

"The Blade Pirates?" The fat man, Trull, scratched his cheek with a carrot-thick finger and asked doubtfully, "Is there such a pirate crew in the North Blue?"

"We don't know, we've never heard of that name before, so... so we didn't open the city gates to let them through. Then, that white-haired man made his move."

As the pirate spoke, he pointed at Rorschach, his face full of resentment.

"Oh, is that so?"

Trull turned to look at Rorschach, his large, fat face almost touching Rorschach's.

Instantly, a strong stench of sweat mixed with the smell of alcohol rushed into Luo Xia's nostrils.

Rorschach's lips curled up, revealing a few white teeth: "A bunch of trash. I only asked them to open the city gates. They were the ones who overestimated themselves and tried to attack us. Did they think our Blade Pirates were pushovers?"

The fat man sniffed, then looked at the pirate he was holding: "Is that so? You guys attacked first?"

The pirate's face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly explained, "Lord Trull, it's not like that. Clearly... it was that white-haired man who started it. We only said a few words to his captain. Yes, that black-eyed thug over there is their captain, his name is Dexter."

A black-masked thug?

A vein appeared on Drake's forehead.
