One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Therefore, the only option was to let this little girl sleep in the captain's cabin.

As before, he slept on the floor, pressed against the opposite wall.

It's pitiful to think about.

He, a dignified Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and a future star of the Navy, actually slept on the floor of the warship every day.

Who would believe that if I told them?

Just as I was thinking about random things, a sound as faint as a lark or a mosquito came from the bathroom in a corner not far away.

"Brother Luo... Brother Luo Xia, could you please get me... my clothes? I forgot to bring them..."

Gudong.

Luo Xia's throat bobbed, and he said in a dry voice, "You...you're wearing pajamas, aren't you? You don't need to change tonight, right?"

"My pajamas got wet with sweat, so I washed them..." Yun Que's weak voice sounded a little embarrassed.

"Okay... alright, wait a minute."

Luo Xia forced himself to get up, walked to the large bed where Yun Que slept, and opened the wardrobe.

Immediately, he saw the clean and tidy navy uniform, the sky-blue princess dress that Hibari often wore, and several pieces of underwear.

"Which one do you want to wear? I don't know...which clothes to get..."

The boy's gaze was as if it had been forcibly pulled by an invisible hand to the neatly folded underwear in the wardrobe's inner compartment.

"Just...any set will do."

In the bathroom, the girl's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that she was also very agitated.

Luo Xia hesitated for a moment, then picked up the sky-blue princess dress, grabbed two pieces of underwear with her eyes closed, walked to the bathroom door, and knocked.

Then, with the creaking sound of the bathroom door being pulled open, the boy's heart leaped into his throat and began to pound.

A fair and delicate hand, trembling slightly, reached out from behind the door.

Luo Xia quickly put the clothes he was holding into that hand and ran back to his makeshift bed as if fleeing.

The boy pressed his hand to his heart, which was pounding like a drum, and felt his blood rushing to his head, giving him an urge to punch someone.

In the bathroom, the steam from the hot water swirled into white mist within the small space.

The girl, holding the clothes, leaned against the wall and slid down limply, as if all her strength had been drained.

Her face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed, and her ears went weak.

After a long while, Yun Que finally recovered from her overwhelming embarrassment and began to get dressed.

Then, the girl looked at the two pairs of shorts tied with bows and a sky-blue princess dress in her hands, and her mind went blank.

A few minutes later, the wooden door to the bathroom was opened, and a petite figure rushed out like a phantom. Like a whirlwind, she leaped seven or eight meters across the ground, pounced on the soft bed, lifted the bright red quilt, and crawled inside.

The speed was so fast that Rorschach was dumbfounded.

Chapter 284 Seeking Rescue

"Major...Major General! I...I didn't hear anything!"

The polar bear, who was standing guard at the stern with his ears covered, was so frightened when he saw Rorschach walk out of the captain's cabin and stride toward him that his fur stood on end.

Before Rorschach could get close, Bepo stammered out an explanation.

Oh no, I'm going to be silenced.

Bepo, with a long face, regretted not switching shifts with Palmer.

"What? Didn't you hear me? What are you talking about, Bepo?" Rorschach was full of questions, completely bewildered.

He simply couldn't sleep, so he decided to go out for some night air.

"N-nothing, Major General, I'll go check ahead."

Bepo tensed his muscles, timidly walked past Rorschach, and dashed towards the bow of the ship.

"What's this bear doing? Am I that scary?"

Luo Xia shook his head in frustration, then leaped lightly onto the top of the middle mast, sat on the furled sail, leaned against the mast behind him, and stared blankly at the misty fog outside the ship.

This is the most treacherous and mysterious sea area in the first half of the Grand Line.

Countless ghost ship legends on the high seas originate from this fog-shrouded place.

This is the Devil's Triangle.

It took Rorschach and his companions seven days to travel from Water Seven to get here.

They didn't specifically come to this sea area that is shrouded in fog year-round.

This is simply because this sea area is extremely vast and is the only way to reach the G2 base.

During this time, Rorschach was initially quite excited, hoping to meet Brook, the skeleton musician, and bring him aboard the ship. He also planned to visit Moria's Thriller Bark and retrieve his dusty sword, Shusui.

If possible, give Moonlight Moria another good talking-to.

As for killing Moria, Rorschach hasn't considered it yet.

Moria is different from Doflamingo.

This guy rarely leaves the Devil's Triangle now, spending all his time holed up in this dark place like a shut-in. He's less of a threat to the world than some ordinary rookie pirates.

Although he also hunted down the shadows of some people, most of those shadows came from pirates.

The stronger a person is, the stronger their shadow becomes, which is why Moria is not interested in the weak shadows of ordinary people.

Given his weaker strength, he was at the bottom of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, making him easy for the Navy to control.

If the Navy were to eliminate a Shichibukai who could be easily controlled, he would likely be replaced by someone with even greater ambition.

That's not what Rorschach wanted to see.

That's not what the Navy wants to see either.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

Rorschach sailed through the misty, gloomy seas for two whole days without encountering a single ghost, let alone Brook and Moria.

The Devil's Triangle was much larger than he had imagined.

If it weren't for the tracking pointer on G2 Island aboard the warship, it would probably have lost its way in the endless fog long ago.

Of course, if they really do lose their way, Rorschach can still maneuver the warship into the sky and leave.

"Pulling pulling".

"Puff puff..."

Suddenly, in the quiet night, a special Den Den Mushi rang urgently from the hidden compartment beneath the mast behind Rorschach.

Rorschach's expression shifted, and he leaped down from the mast, landing on the deck. He reached into the hidden compartment and picked up the yellow Den Den Mushi.

This Den Den Mushi has only two uses.

One purpose is to receive emergency communications from the Navy Headquarters.

Secondly, it can receive emergency distress signals from other naval vessels in the surrounding waters around the clock.

Unless it's urgent, headquarters usually only contacts Rorschach's private Den Den Mushi.

Click.

"Moshi, Moshi, this is..."

Rorschach answered the Den Den Mushi and was about to reveal his identity when he was interrupted by a chaotic ringing sound coming from the other end.

Amidst the cacophony of shouts and the roar of cannons, a rough, panting voice broke off intermittently on the empty, silent deck.

"Please...request backup! This is...Rear Admiral Cardar, we've been ambushed by the Giant Shark Pirates, please...please..."

The man's voice abruptly stopped on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

But the ear-piercing roar of gunfire was faithfully simulated by the special Den Den Mushi, echoing continuously across the silent deck.

Soon, the unusual noise on the deck woke up the naval soldiers on the warship.

The sailors, including Luo, rushed out of the cabin, some without even having time to put on their clothes.

"What happened?" Luo asked, gripping his long sword, "Kikoku," as he looked at the incessantly ringing Den Den Mushi beside Luo Xia.

"It's a distress signal. The person calling for help claims to be Major General Kadaru from headquarters. They shouldn't be far away. All personnel, listen up! Prepare for battle and increase the speed of the warships... Never mind, I'll just fly there myself, it'll be faster. Luo! Go and spread the flanks and lower the sails. I'll go wake up Hibari and have her indicate the course."

Rorschach shouted, issuing an emergency mobilization order.

"Yes!"

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, the soldiers immediately went into combat readiness without Rorschach's orders.

Luo Xia returned to the captain's cabin, opened the door, and went to Lark's bedside. Looking at the girl sleeping soundly like a baby under the bright red blanket, he felt a little reluctant to wake her up in the middle of the night.

However, requests for help from colleagues are of paramount importance.

"Lark, Lark, wake up, something's happened, I need you to get up and guide the course."

He reached out and patted the blanket covering the girl.

The lark was quite alert and immediately opened its eyes.

Upon hearing the distress signal from Luo Xia, she quickly threw off the blanket covering her, jumped out of bed, and rushed outside.

However, just as she reached the door, the girl seemed to remember something, her face flushed red, and she hurriedly ran back, took a piece of clothing from the wardrobe, rushed into the bathroom like the wind, and slammed the wooden door shut.

Inside the room, Luo Xia silently reached out and wiped away the two streams of hot blood flowing from under his nose.

In that fleeting glimpse, as the girl ran back and forth, the undulating curves of her loose princess dress sent a shockwave through the boy's soul, like the Lakula tsunami.

So bouncy...

Luo Xia shook his dazed head, took a breath, and darted away like the wind.

As soon as he stepped onto the deck, his body began to swell rapidly, revealing a blue scale over seven meters tall, with his arms supporting him.

A violent airflow surged between heaven and earth, blowing away the gray mist that enveloped the Kirin.

Two wide side wings, each 56 meters long, unfolded and were lifted up by the strong wind.
