One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

That was pitch-black coal ash.

Crackling sounds!

A burst of energy, like a volcanic eruption, suddenly erupted from Luo Xia's body, causing his full head of silver hair to move without wind.

Jonathan's face darkened as he watched Jonathan slowly raise his right hand.

He looked at Sabo, then at Rorschach.

Both are exceptionally outstanding young men, each a model of the new era, walking different paths in pursuit of their respective beliefs in justice.

Jonathan would be heartbroken no matter which side was in trouble.

So many years have passed, and he no longer believes that only the navy can represent justice.

More than a decade ago, Jonathan met Jasmine and Dragon, who was traveling the world, on this very island.

The three spent some time together and talking.

Jonathan greatly admired Dragon, who possessed amazing courage at such a young age, and believed that he would become a great figure who could change the world in the future.

So Jonathan funded Dragon's first venture capital, which he used to build a ship in Water Seven that would later become a great symbol.

That is, the Mata-Grammar, the vehicle of the world's most vicious criminal and the revolutionary leader of the Doraq.

Over the next decade or so, Jonathan witnessed the Revolutionary Army's actions and steady growth, from being unknown to becoming a household name.

Today, it is regarded by the World Government as the most evil organization in the world and has become a major concern for the Celestial Dragons.

Although they are called an evil organization, Jonathan believes that the Revolutionary Army's actions are more righteous than those of the World Government.

Therefore, Jonathan really didn't want to see the two people he admired fight each other right in front of him.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense amidst the rocky reefs along the coast.

There were faint sparks of electricity permeating the air.

The atmosphere was extremely tense!

But neither of them made the first move.

Suddenly, Luo Xia lowered his raised right hand, rubbed his rumbling stomach, and sighed, "I'm so hungry. I've been fighting for so long and haven't eaten all day. I'm starving."

As he spoke, the arcs of electricity that filled the air vanished instantly and returned to his body.

The oppressive atmosphere in the room vanished instantly.

Luo Xia turned to look at the astonished Jonathan, "President Jonathan, when is dinner? I'm starving."

"Huh?" Jonathan was stunned for a moment, then a smile immediately appeared on his face. He grinned and said, "Do you want to eat? No problem, I'll have someone prepare dinner right away. Let's have a banquet tonight and celebrate our victory properly."

"Yes, thank you for your help."

Rorschach smiled at him, then looked at Sabo, whose expression was complicated.

"Let's fight again next time. I'm not in the zone this time. I'd really like to see your Dragon Claw Fist."

Sabo slowly released his fingers, which were hooked into the shape of a dragon's claw.

As Rorschach turned to leave with Jonathan, Sabo suddenly pulled out a small piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over.

"Brigadier General Rorschach, please wait."

Luo Xia turned around and looked at the white piece of paper he was handed over with a puzzled expression.

"This is?"

"This is my Den Den Mushi number."

Sabo gave Rorschach a deep look.

"The leader has been watching you ever since you left Beihai."

To be honest, we used to take the leader's attention and importance to you for granted.

But now, looking at your growth rate, it far exceeds our expectations.

Perhaps one day in the future, you will become our greatest enemy.

It's also possible that they will become our friends.

Here's my Den Den Mushi number. If you encounter any problems in the amusement park or the Four Seas region, you can contact me.

"If I can help, I will lend a hand this time, as a way of thanking you for saving this city and rescuing old man Jonathan."

"Being noticed and valued by the world's most dangerous criminals is not a good thing. However, I've left you my number."

Rorschach took the piece of paper from Sabo's hand.

"Then, farewell, Brigadier General Rorschach."

Sabo adjusted his hat and jumped into the air.

The crow transformed into a jet-black crow, took flight, and carried Sabo away at high speed.

Rorschach glanced at the piece of paper in his hand, stuffed it into his pocket, then turned to look at Jonathan, who was watching Sabo and the other man walk away.

Then, he smirked and said something that almost made Jonathan fall flat on his face.

"President Jonathan, you don't want me to report your collusion with the Revolutionary Army to Fleet Admiral Sengoku, do you?"

Chapter 277 Garp Arrives

Two more days passed.

On the sea in front of the Queen's City port in springtime, three massive green warships slowly slowed down and approached.

On the harbor shore, rows of naval soldiers and royal guards stood ramrod straight.

Dozens of elegantly dressed men and women surrounded a portly, bald, middle-aged fat man who stood at the front, his face adorned with exaggerated smiles, watching the dog-headed warship sail towards them.

This bald, fat man, wearing a golden crown and a long robe of gold brocade, was none other than Poplar V, the king of the relatively unknown Kingdom of Saint Poplar.

Luo Xia had met with him two days earlier.

At the banquet that night, this fat, drunk man insisted on marrying his daughter, who looked even more frightening than Penn, to Rorschach. Luckily, Rorschach didn't throw up the dinner he had just eaten.

Jonathan stood expectantly beside Rorschach, joining the naval soldiers in watching the approaching dog-headed warship.

"It's Garp. What does that brat look like now? Has he turned into a decrepit old man like me? I really miss those days, they feel like they happened just yesterday..."

Before Jonathan could finish speaking, they heard a whooshing, explosive sound coming from ahead.

Then a shadow appeared overhead.

He had just raised his head when he saw a burly, white-haired old man grinning with a mouthful of white teeth, clenching his fist and descending from the sky, punching Luo Xia who was standing next to him.

As the opponent's fist slammed down, the air within a radius of hundreds of meters was compressed in layers, forming a chaotic and violent air pressure that caused the people standing around to lose their footing and stagger backward.

Dozens of smiling royal members of the Holy Poplar Kingdom, along with the bald, fat king, were blown over and rolled around on the ground.

Crackling sounds!

In the air, bolts of black and red lightning shot out from the white-haired old man's fist, unleashing a terrifying aura that changed the very fabric of the world.

"Entanglement!"

"Fist Bone! Galaxy Collision!"

"Is this your gift, Grandpa Garp?"

Luo Xia grinned, and a deep blue aura instantly enveloped his entire body. He stomped his foot and leaped into the air, throwing a punch that unleashed thick bolts of silver-white lightning that shone and roared on his fist.

"Fist Bone! Galaxy Collision!"

Several meters in the air, two tall figures of similar build collided with a thunderous crash. Their fists, one black and one white, clashed, instantly creating a deafening explosion.

Like a mountain collapsing, like a thunderclap!

boom!

Centered on the collision of the two fists, tiny cracks spread outwards towards the top of everyone's heads, like a spider web.

The atmosphere was shattered by the shockwave from the clash of two fists!

The sea below was crashing and pounding, the water waves surging like angry waves.

Even the three massive warships that had just docked were shaken by the violent air currents surging in the air and were pushed back more than ten meters.

On the decks of the three warships, naval soldiers and officers all stared in shock at the old man and the young man locked in a stalemate in the air.

"Too...too strong! That's Brigadier General Rorschach!"

"To be able to hold his own against Vice Admiral Garp, what astonishing power! No wonder he was able to kill Chinjao, the Thousand-Faced Gulliver, and single-handedly defeat a pirate fleet of 20,000!"

"Is this the strength of our Navy Headquarters' top new generation? He's too strong! He's really too strong! When will I be able to become a strongman like Commodore Rorschach!"

In the sky, dark red thunder and silver lightning intertwined and roared, the sound of thunder resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

Suddenly, the old man and the young man, who had been locked in a stalemate for more than ten seconds, simultaneously stopped and landed on the ground below.

"Hahaha, well done, Rorschach! You actually managed to take down Chinjao and Gulliver. Sengoku and Zephyr underestimated you this time. Only I am certain that you can defeat them! They're just two trash pirates who have long since faded away. What legends are they?"

Garp burst into laughter, slapping Rorschach's shoulder hard with his large hand until it ached.

"Grandpa, you're still got it! I wonder when I'll be able to unleash an attack imbued with Conqueror's Haki like you!"

"Hahaha, it's still early!" Garp raised his seemingly ordinary fist triumphantly.

Rorschach looked at Garp's fist with envy.

It's so persistent.

That was a move that could almost represent the pinnacle of power in this world.

I haven't even broken through to a high level of Armament Haki yet.

They clearly knew the principle of advanced Armament Haki: it involves external release, internal destruction, penetration, shattering, tearing, vibration, and impact.

But I just can't seem to recreate that attack effect.

It can only be used for defense, and to slightly increase the attack power of lightning and physical attacks.

Teacher Zephyr once said that it would be very difficult for him to advance his Armament Haki.

Because his sheer quantity was simply too exaggerated.
