One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

He always has a cigar in his mouth and looks like he wants to stab anyone.

As a result, after being defeated by Akainu, himself, and Gion in succession, this proud and arrogant man became withdrawn.

Then, Shiryu, holding back his anger, fought King, one of the Three Disasters and the top scout of the Beasts Pirates, at sea and was so badly beaten that he almost drowned.

After returning, he was hit by Akainu's lava bath and almost died.

Now, this guy is completely obedient.

While scolding Shiryu for his scheme, he suddenly raised an eyebrow, and his sly, squinting eyes instantly locked onto a long-legged woman wearing hot pants and a snow-white cloak. He subconsciously whistled.

"Whoosh! Gion, you look absolutely stunning today, can you accept this...?"

"Shut up! If you say another word, I'll cut you off."

Momousagi, a candidate for general in Gion, glared fiercely at Kake, who had a lecherous look on his face, and strode over with her long legs, holding a newspaper in her hand, toward the three men sitting under the parasol.

"What are you doing? Is there any special news in today's paper?"

Kakei shamelessly approached, grinning as he leaned close to Gion and glanced at the contents of the newspaper.

The newspaper cover is:

A pirate fleet of 20,000 men invaded the Kingdom of Saint Poplar, only to be utterly defeated by a single man!

"The Navy has produced another superstar, the youngest rear admiral in history!"

The Mythical Zoan-type Kirin Fruit reappears on the sea, and a young naval soldier powerfully defeats a legendary pirate!

Shocking! The Seven Warlords of the Sea and their trusted lieutenants from allied nations were brutally killed by the Navy; the truth behind it is heartwarming.

"What the hell is this? Morgans' World News Agency, that jerk, why is it always producing this kind of messy news? Who exactly is this naval boy they're talking about? Can't they just say it outright?"

I'm furious about the extra calculation.

"Go and see for yourself."

Gion, annoyed, pulled out a newspaper and shoved it into Kake's hand. Then, holding the remaining newspapers, she walked over to Akainu and the other two and handed them over.

"Hmm? Any interesting news?"

Kizaru scratched his head, put down the nail clippers, and picked up the newspaper.

Aokiji pushed up his blindfold and sat up.

Akainu glanced at the newspaper, his expression remaining unchanged.

"That's terrifying, Rorschach, he actually took down so many people. You've got some style now, Sakazuki."

Kizaru pulled down his sunglasses, pouting as he looked at Akainu beside him with a surprised expression.

"Hmph! They were just two pieces of trash outdated by the times who got killed. What's there to praise?"

A burst of fire erupted from Akainu's hand, burning the newspaper, and he crossed his arms again, gazing at the distant sea.

"Oh, that's quite strict, Sakazuki. Still not satisfied? Do you want him to kill Whitebeard and Kaido?"

Kizaru shrugged, lay back down on the recliner, and began to read the newspaper with great interest.

Beside him, Aokiji's eyes flickered, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Oh my, that kid Rorschach, he's killed way too many people this time. I hope he doesn't get too caught up in excessive killing."

He shook his head, sighed, pulled down his blindfold, and lay down.

Gion's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Rorschach's photo in the newspaper.

"This little guy is the boy from Beihai that Sister He was talking about. He's really capable. He's also very handsome. I really want to meet him."

"Hmph! You call that handsome? He's just a greenhorn who hasn't even grown any hair yet. He hasn't experienced the hardships of life, nor has he weathered the storms of time. How can he compare to a mature and handsome man like me?"

Jia Ji rubbed his shiny hair, took out a small mirror from his pocket, looked at himself, and nodded with satisfaction.

So handsome.

My profile must have already captivated Gion, right?

Shiryu, who was doing squats while carrying the warship on his back, stopped in his tracks when he saw the newspaper cover that Kake had casually tossed on the ground, and the eye-catching bold headline.

He put the warship down heavily from his back, picked up the newspaper from the ground, and glanced at it.

Then, Shiryu expressionlessly picked up the long sword stuck in the ground and pointed the blade at Kaji.

"I want to challenge you."

"Huh? Are you looking for a beating?" Jiaji raised an eyebrow.

Before he could agree, Shiryu had already gripped his longsword and charged at him.

"It seems you've been traumatized. Well then, I'll let you lie in bed for a few days to reflect on your actions."

Kaji spat out the grass stalk he was holding in his mouth, his figure vanished in an instant, and a dark aura covered his fist as he blasted it toward the charging Shiryu.

The vast sea area 500 miles away from the G1 branch.

Dozens of islands, large and small, are scattered across this vast sea.

At this time, these uninhabited desert islands were divided into two parts, and two groups of people were fighting day and night on them.

The intense artillery fire continued unabated, echoing across the sea for hundreds of miles around.

In front of a large island in the center, two equally massive pirate ships stood facing each other, floating motionless on the sea.

One of them was the Moby Dick, which resembled a beluga whale.

One of them was a large ship with a dragon's head decorated with a skull with two horns.

On the decks of two opposing large ships, each stood a group of giant men, each as strong as a mountain, staring intently at the other across the sea, hundreds of meters away.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely heavy, as if the air itself had stopped moving.

The sea was calm, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, which stood still like a thick city wall.

The oppressive atmosphere, which seemed about to explode at any moment, was suddenly broken by a few seagulls flying over the sea to deliver newspapers.

On both ships, pirates waved to seagulls, paid them, and took down the newspapers.

On the Moby Dick, Marco glanced at the news in the newspaper, his eyes flickered, and he quickly walked over to the white-bearded man who was sitting imposingly on a stool.

"Dad! Look at this. Do you remember this Marine named Rorschach?"

He pointed to Rorschach's photo in the newspaper and smiled at the white-bearded man.

Whitebeard glanced at the newspaper, shaking his head as he did so.

"I don't remember."

As he looked around, his gaze suddenly shifted.

"Gulliver, that name...it sounds familiar. Hmm..."

The white-bearded man stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Suddenly, his brow relaxed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this Silver Axe's brother? He only died now? And he was killed by a naval commodore."

"Dad!"

Marco gave a wry smile and pointed at Rorschach, saying, "Do you remember six months ago when we received the newspaper on Sphinx Island about the Celestial Dragons of Sabaody Archipelago getting into trouble?"

The white-bearded man nodded.

"This navy officer is the same navy lieutenant commander who defeated the four pirate supernovas last year."

I used to say, "This guy is a monster." Now that I see it, he really is a monster.

It hasn't been that long, and he's already gone from major to lieutenant general, and he's even killed two well-known pirates with bounties of 700 million and 500 million.

Fourteen years old? This freak reminds me of that battle maniac in Roger's pirate crew.

"Gurararara, to possess such strength at the age of fourteen, one can indeed be called a monster. Rorschach... Hmph, that Sengoku guy has found another promising talent."

Whitebeard handed the newspaper back to Marco. "Remember this guy, keep an eye on his future intelligence. I have a feeling this little Marine will become a troublesome figure in the future."

Marco was somewhat surprised by Whitebeard's assessment.

Among the crowd nearby, Blackbeard looked at the newspaper in his hand, his eyes gleaming.

"The Navy is terrifying. Their Mythical Zoan-type Kirin Fruit allows them to control the power of wind and lightning—truly formidable strength. However, that's not my goal. Once I obtain that ability, all other abilities in this world will be within my grasp."

"I don't know how much longer I have to wait..."

"By the way, Dad, I heard that a pretty good new pirate has appeared in Paradise, and he's a rare Logia-type Devil Fruit user too. If he manages to enter the New World, let's recruit him. Hopefully, that newbie will be careful and not run into this rising star of the Marines." Marco put down his newspaper, as if he had thought of something, and then said with a smile.

"A Logia-type Devil Fruit user? What's his name?"

"I think his name is something like Portgas D. Ace."

"D?"

On the opposite side, on the Azure Dragon ship.

Kaido kept chugging the large jug into his mouth, his eyes glancing at a Gifter holding up a newspaper.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

Kaido downed a whole jug of strong liquor.

He exhaled a strong smell of alcohol and put the wine pot down.

then……

Bang!

With a dull, short thud, the Gifter holding the newspaper was punched away by Kaido before he could even scream.

The newspaper he was holding was shattered into powder, which scattered across the deck in a chaotic mess.

Kaido roared angrily, his face grim: "We didn't catch him, but Jack is in such a sorry state! Tell me, you bunch of trash, what are you doing?"
