One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral
Page 278
Hibari killed over a hundred pirates, including Absalom, and is now a lieutenant commander in the headquarters.
The other warriors all improved to varying degrees.
Bepo was promoted to lieutenant, while Palmer received the most dramatic promotion, going directly from private to second lieutenant, leaving Bepo unable to eat or sleep these days.
As the commander, Rorschach generously distributed 200 million Berries as a bonus to motivate his soldiers to continue their efforts, making the two hundred naval soldiers who followed him grin from ear to ear.
On average, that's one million Berries per person, which is far more than their salary.
Rorschach, however, felt no pity whatsoever.
The money was given to me by Jonathan.
The total cost was 10 billion Berries. The purchase of shipbuilding materials and the labor costs paid to the iceberg amounted to more than 2 billion Berries.
There are still over seven billion pegories left, more than enough to spend.
Not to mention, the headquarters' merit book still records the military rewards they received for this battle.
That's a huge amount of Pele.
Garp used three warships to transport the 100 billion berries donated by Jonathan back to Navy Headquarters.
During that time, he really wanted to spend a few days in Water Seven, but Sengoku, who was worried about Pele, gave him a thorough dressing-down.
Rorschach heard from Zephyr that after Garp returned to headquarters, Sengoku was so excited that he hugged him and kissed him hard, laughing for more than an hour until he almost became paralyzed from laughing.
Right now, back at headquarters, some naval soldiers are whispering that Sengoku is a gay man...
Water City Dock 1.
When Rorschach arrived in a hurry with a group of excited naval soldiers, the first thing they saw was a ship the size of a small mountain, covered by a huge canvas.
Beneath the massive ship, which was over a hundred meters long, stood only Iceberg, Franky, Barry, and Daruston.
According to Iceberg, in order to keep the key areas inside the warship secret, the last three days of assembly work were all done by him and Frankie working through the night.
"Hahaha, it's finally finished! These ten days have felt like an eternity. That old Jonathan only took five days to get his two-masted sailboat done, while mine took more than half a month."
Luo Xia suppressed his overwhelming excitement and quickly walked up to Iceberg and the others.
"Mr. Iceberg, Franky, Barry, Daruston, thank you so much for your help."
Luo Xia grasped the iceberg's hand, his face beaming with smiles.
"Haha, this is what we should do. Speaking of which, being able to build a super ship made entirely of Adam's Tree is a great test and a great improvement for us shipwrights. We should be thanking you."
Franky put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly, then suddenly clasped his hands together in a cringe-worthy pose.
"This time, I really used all my skills. This week has been a super super week!"
Words of gratitude are too many to express, so Rorschach decided to do something more practical.
"Pamel!"
He shouted behind him, "Bring the things over here!"
"Yes, Major General Rorschach!"
The ten-meter-tall giant, Palmer, with a smile on his face, carried a large box over and gently placed it in front of Iceberg and the others.
"What is this?" Iceberg asked, puzzled.
"This small reward is a way of apologizing for the accident on the sea train track last time, and also to thank everyone for their hard work in helping to build the ship."
Rorschach waved, and Palmer quickly opened the lid of the box.
As soon as the box lid was opened, the eyes of everyone present widened in astonishment.
Iceberg and Franky gasped.
Dariuston's eyes bulge out.
Barry's mouth immediately watered.
"Bai... Bailey! So many Baileys! Are these... all for us?"
“Yes, a total of one billion Berries.” Rorschach said with a smile.
At that moment, Barry and Dariuston felt that Rorschach's smile was shimmering with a golden luster.
It's too dazzling to look at directly.
"I'm rich! I can sleep on Pele now."
His eyes were filled with disbelief, and his hands trembled as he reached for Bailey in the box, only to be stopped by the iceberg.
Iceberg said with a serious expression, "Major General Luo Xia, we cannot accept this money."
“Iceberg~” Barry looked over pitifully, but Iceberg ignored him.
Iceberg continued, "Major General Rorschach, you yourself are the hero who saved Water Seven. Furthermore, you already paid for the shipbuilding, and a considerable amount at that, exceeding our usual compensation. Therefore…"
Rorschach interrupted him, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and walked toward the huge ship covered by a canvas in front of him.
“Please accept this, Mr. Iceberg. I don’t need the money right now. If you take this money, a portion of it can serve as the financial fund for Water Seven. I also need your help to maintain the normal operation of the Marine branch. If you refuse again, I will be unhappy.”
"Hahaha, Iceberg, just accept it. A real man should be generous. Since Rorschach has said so, then let's be straightforward!" Franky laughed.
"Yeah, yeah! Take it!" Barry and Dariuston stared at Bailey in the box with bloodshot eyes.
"Sigh, alright, I'll accept it then." Iceberg sighed, unable to refuse Luo Xia, and had no choice but to accept it.
He glanced at Barry, who was drooling. "The three of you will each receive 100 million Berries, and the rest will be used as the treasury for Water Seven. Any objections?"
“No, no, absolutely not.” Barry nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
On the other side, Luo Xia had already walked under the huge canvas, looking at the smooth and shiny hull of the warship on the side that the canvas did not completely cover.
"Major Admiral Rorschach, you are the owner of this ship, so you shall lift the canvas yourself!"
Iceberg approached with a smile.
"it is good!"
Rorschach had been eagerly anticipating it for a long time.
With a grab and a flick of his hands, he manipulated the air from a distance of more than ten meters, directly lifting the huge canvas covering the entire ship and sending it flying.
This move made Franky and the others gasp in amazement.
Then, a streamlined, light blue three-masted sailing ship appeared before Rorschach.
The bow of the ship is carved with a majestic, sacred, and domineering dragon head.
The upper edge of the front of the ship below the dragon head is carved with large, tightly connected scales, which look extremely imposing.
Three thick, straight masts—two small and one large—stood at the bow, midships, and aft of the ship.
The white sails hanging down are decorated with patterns of seagulls soaring in flight.
On each side of the hull, there are ten dark cannon muzzles.
Below the muzzle are two steam turbines.
"The Justice Gull, built entirely of Adam Wood, cost nearly three billion Berries in total, making it the most expensive ship ever built by our Carrera Company since its inception."
Iceberg walked over, a proud look on his face.
Franky, smiling, looked up at the massive ship ahead and introduced it: "The Flying Dragon is 120 meters long, 50 meters wide, and 50 meters high. It can accommodate over a thousand people. If it weren't a warship and only housed a few dozen people, it would be the most perfect luxury ship in the world. However, although it lacks large living and entertainment spaces due to the large number of people, it can still be considered one of the navy's top super warships!"
As he spoke, Franky jumped onto the deck. “You can all come up and have a look around. This will be your home at sea from now on.”
"This ship is huge, bigger than our warships. It must be very slow to move, right?"
Lark laughed and jumped onto the boat with Rorschach.
Filled with curiosity and joy, everyone boarded the large warship and began to look around.
"With this kid's abilities, there's no need to worry about speed at all," Luo said, pointing at Luo Xia. "Speaking of which, didn't you have them install some special device on the side of the ship last time? What was that for?"
Upon hearing this, Rorschach also realized the same thing and quickly pulled back Franky, who couldn't contain his excitement and started explaining to everyone with great enthusiasm.
"You mean...this?" Franky walked to the side of the ship with a grin and pressed down hard on several protrusions inside the ship.
There were a few crisp clicking sounds.
The next moment, two long gashes appeared above the cannons on both sides of the ship.
Then, the two folded fan ribs unfolded with a whoosh, like the wings of an ancient pterosaur, stretching out fifty or sixty meters, appearing exceptionally wide.
"So cool! What is this?!"
The lark's eyes lit up, and it excitedly rushed to the side of the ship to look out.
"These are the wings of this ship!" Luo Xia's face also lit up with joy, his eyes gleaming. "From now on, this ship will not only be able to sail on the sea, but also fly to a height of 10,000 meters! These are the flight wings that I personally designed for the Wind and Thunder Kirin."
“I still think the Justice Seagull is better; it aligns well with the Navy’s principles of justice,” Iceberg said with a smile.
"Nonsense, didn't you see the dragon head carved on the bow? That's why I said the Flying Dragon is the most suitable, it can even fly." Franky offered his rebuttal.
“I think the ‘Sea Master Natural Selection’ would be a better fit; it sounds really powerful!” Barry held two stacks of pelies in his hand, inhaling the scent of ink with relish.
"This is my ship, so I'm going to name it the Wind and Thunder Kirin!"
Rorschach grinned, raising his hands in front of him.
When everyone saw his action, they were first taken aback, and then their expressions changed slightly.
"What...what do you want to do?" Barry swallowed nervously.
“Of course we’re going to test fly it. The wings are all spread out.” Rorschach said matter-of-factly.
"Let me down first, I'm afraid of heights." Barry's legs were trembling, and he wanted to jump off the boat.
However, in the dock outside the Qilin, a violent gust of wind swept across the sky, blowing the people on board off to the side, forcing them to hold on tightly to the ship's belongings.
"Get up!"
Rorschach shouted and suddenly raised both hands upwards!
With the sound of the wing ribs on the outer side of the ship shaking and the creaking of the hull, the hundred-meter warship under everyone's feet floated up from the ground of the No. 1 dock the next moment, and began to rise by the strong airflow from bottom to top!
"Not enough wind!"
Rorschach's smile grew wider and wider, his body gradually swelled and grew taller, and he began to transform into a beast.
As he transformed, the speed of airflow in the world increased several times in an instant.
