One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Because that's what he himself thinks!

It can be said that everyone on the entire sky island has been suffering from severe lightning stimulation syndrome in recent years.

Anything involving lightning is Enel's doing.

But unexpectedly, there were other people in the world who could also control lightning.

“Mr. Ganford, why are you back again? Is something the matter?” Lark looked at Ganford.

Ganford, however, dared not meet her gaze.

Thinking of how warmly Yun Que had treated him earlier, offering him tea, and how he had turned around and tried to ambush him, Gan Fu'er felt unbearably ashamed and wished he could disappear into the ground.

sky.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so lucky, surviving that towering current. Our meeting again must be fate. How about coming back with me? I'll take you to Marineford's dining hall for a free feast, Ace!"

Rorschach moved like lightning, speeding through the sky, getting closer and closer to the fiery serpent leaping ahead.

His voice reached Ace's ears with perfect clarity.

"Not good at all! Seriously, don't you navy guys have anything else to do? You chased me all the way up to ten thousand meters in the air! What did I do to make you so obsessed with me!"

Ace's lower body transformed into billowing flames, propelling him to new heights as he hurtled away like a rocket into the distance.

"Stop patting yourself on the back, Ace! We didn't come here to chase you. But since we've run into you again, we can't just pretend we didn't see you."

Rorschach was surrounded by wind and thunder, and his speed suddenly increased by 50%, instantly closing the distance by more than 100 meters, which terrified Ace.

A massive, deep blue hand, radiating an aura of dominance, pierced through the air and reached for his fiery body.

"Come back with me and become a righteous naval warrior. Don't go astray! That way, even if your true identity is exposed in the future, your grandfather, me, and many other righteous naval personnel will do everything in our power to protect you!"

"We cannot choose our birth, but we can choose our life!"

"Turning back is still an option, Ace!"

Rorschach's roar, like the sound of a great bell, resounded in Ace's heart.

His eyes welled up with tears, a warm feeling rose in his heart, and he felt an urge to agree.

boom!

Flames exploded everywhere, and Luo Xia's large hand, wrapped in deep blue domineering aura, grasped at nothing.

Ace, whose lower body was a rolling pillar of fire, materialized his form dozens of meters in front of him, looking at Rorschach with a complicated expression.

For a fleeting moment, Ace truly had the thought of following Rorschach to become a Marine.

"Can we choose our birth, but not our life? That's such a beautiful saying. My birth was destined to be a tragedy; how can I choose my life?"

Ace recalled the countless times he, Luffy, and Sabo had spoken on the beach in Windmill Village.

One day, we will set sail and be freer than anyone else!

In that instant, Ace suddenly felt relieved.

He looked at Luo Xia with a bright smile on his lips.

"Rorschach, it probably won't be pleasant for an old man to be your teacher, will it?"

"Yeah, that old guy's teaching methods are absolutely terrible. Luckily I'm a Mythical Beast user, otherwise I would probably have died countless times by now."

Rorschach smiled as well, but did not rush to make a move.

The two of them looked at each other across the sky, which was dozens of meters apart.

"Hahaha, that's a perfect description of 'utterly a mess'!" Ace threw his head back and laughed, tears streaming down his face.

"The way he trained us when we were kids was by throwing us into a forest full of wild animals to fend for ourselves, treating us like we were four or five-year-old children. What a wicked old man..."

Ace's eyes reddened.

"But after training every day, being able to sit in front of the fire in the clearing in the woods, eating the terribly grilled meat he made, listening to him ramble on about the past, and then being carried on his broad back while I was dozing off, always made me feel very at ease."

"I watched the gray hairs at his temples grow a little more each year, until now they were completely white. The old man's fists, which used to pound my head, were getting weaker and weaker. I knew he was getting old..."

"I've thought about it too. Maybe I should just take the old man's advice. Become a righteous navy officer, fight alongside my comrades, and hunt down pirates on the high seas. After all, my father, whom I hate to the core, is a pirate. But..."

Ace clenched his fists, and his knuckles cracked crisply.

"But I both hate that man and respect and envy him. I want to kill him, yet I also want to be him!"

"I'm torn. I don't want to upset my husband, but I also don't want to have any regrets!"

"What is the meaning of my life? I think the sea and time will give me the answer I'm looking for. That's why I must go to sea!"

He looked Rorschach straight in the eye and said, "Rorschach, I know you didn't go all out in Magic Valley Town. Now, you can go all out."

"I hope you won't regret the decision you made today." Luo Xia unbuttoned his shirt, his figure gradually expanding and growing taller.

"I will have no regrets, even unto death!"

Ace clasped his hands together, and a surging, tsunami-like flame erupted from his face and seven orifices, surging and spreading in the sky in front of him, rushing towards Rorschach.

call!

The terrifying heat distorted the void, scorched the air, and rose orange-red flames hundreds of meters high, engulfing Ace's figure and instantly forming a fiery sun with a diameter of 100 meters.

The entire sky within a kilometer radius seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Even on other floating islands dozens of miles away, this dazzling, fiery sun could be seen at this moment.

Ace's figure materialized under the fiery sun, his right hand holding up the burning sun as he looked at Rorschach, who had transformed into a ferocious Qilin beastman.

Opposite him stood a demon god over seven meters tall, covered in azure scales, with bulging muscles and surrounded by howling winds and leaping lightning. He too held up a ball of dazzling, roaring lightning sun with one hand.

at the same time.

At the zenith, Enel finally used his Rumble-Rumble Fruit power to summon a massive ocean of lightning powerful enough to destroy the entire Jaya Island to ashes, forming a pitch-black sphere thousands of meters in diameter thousands of meters above the ground.

Strands of dazzling lightning flickered erratically inside the pitch-black sphere, causing the conscious Wipa, Lark, Luo, and the others on the ground to all turn pale with horror.

A terrifying surge of energy, seemingly capable of destroying the world, was brewing overhead.

Faced with these fluctuating energies, these people are like ants.

If you want to destroy them, they have absolutely no power to resist.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the three 'suns'—one large and two small—under the dim sky.

suddenly!

The fiery sun and the lightning sun below moved simultaneously.

They charged toward each other from the left and right, leaving trails of flame and lightning in the sky, and collided with earth-shattering waves!

"Great Flame Ring! Flame Emperor!"

Ace roared, his domineering aura surging within him, his physical strength unleashed, transforming into endless flames. His will and beliefs seemed to explode with this attack.

The terrifyingly high temperature distorted the air within a kilometer radius.

"Two hundred million volts! Thunder Pool!"

Rorschach roared as well, and the lightning sun held aloft by his giant arm contained the maximum current intensity that his body could currently reach.

With the infusion of massive amounts of domineering energy, its power has increased several times over.

Two 'suns', one red and one white, each a hundred meters in diameter, collided with a deafening roar.

boom!

A thousand meters in the sky, a more dazzling fireball suddenly appeared, expanding infinitely before exploding with a roar, turning into a rain of fire and lightning.

Amidst the exploding rain of fire, Ace, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, eyes tightly shut, plummeted headfirst from the sky.

Completely exhausted, he could no longer maintain his elemental form. His skin was charred black by the streaks of lightning flowing in the air, and his muscles were pierced by the power of the lightning, which would likely leave permanent scars.

On the other side, Rorschach's body was covered in a deep blue sheen, and his azure scales reflected a mesmerizing light, making him appear completely unharmed.

He was indeed completely unharmed.

It only consumed about 30% of its Armament Haki and the enormous lightning power accumulated within its body.

This is enough to show just how powerful Ace's attack was.

Rorschach's 30% Armament Haki is enough to arm the 100-meter-long Kirin with layers upon layers of armor.

All that domineering aura was consumed by the high-temperature flames generated by that attack just now.

One can imagine that if Rorschach had only awakened the ordinary type of Armament Haki, his body would probably be badly burned by now.

Ace was utterly defeated.

The person had fainted.

Ace is already very strong now.

In the manga, he had only been in the New World for a short time when he was able to fight Jinbe for five days and five nights without being evenly matched.

By blood, he is the son of the Pirate King Roger.

In terms of talent, he possesses three types of Haki.

In terms of abilities, he possesses the top-tier Logia-type Mera Mera no Mi (Flame-Flame Fruit) power.

He also has no weaknesses in physical skills, after all, he was trained by Garp.

If this kind of person were in a fantasy novel, they would be the standard template of being invincible among their peers.

Unfortunately, Rorschach's domineering presence and physique were a notch above his.

As Ace was about to disappear from sight and fall into the endless depths of space, Rorschach reached out with his right hand.

Invisible air currents gathered and swirled, transforming into long chains that restrained Ace's falling body.

"If you can't persuade him, you should take him back and let Grandpa Garp make the decision himself."

Ace is a living, breathing person. Unless Rorschach locks him up in Impel Down right now, no one can stop him from going to sea if he's determined to do so.

Just as Rorschach was pulling on the air chains, trying to pull the unconscious Ace up,

boom!

A dazzling pillar of lightning, as thick as an ancient tree, shot out from the giant sphere thousands of meters in the air, completely engulfing him.

Rorschach!
