One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Luo Xia shrugged, reached out and grabbed, and with a flash of electricity at his fingertips, a mottled golden slab flew out of the captain's cabin and landed in his hand.

He grabbed the golden stone tablet engraved with the design blueprints of the Ark, walked up to Enel, grinned, put his arm around Enel's shoulder, and looked at the curious onlookers who had gathered around.

Has anyone here ever seen the Pluto warship?

Everyone looked at each other, shaking their heads like rattles.

Just kidding, who's ever seen something like that?

That thing is an ancient weapon.

"I've seen Hades, but I've never seen the Hades warship," Yun Que muttered to herself.

As is widely known, in the minds of the vast majority of people, Hades does not represent ancient weapons, but rather a legendary villain with a bounty of 39 billion Berries on his head.

"Princess Vivi, have you met her before?" Luo Xia asked with a smile as he looked at the timid Vivi.

Weiwei felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she unconsciously rubbed the hem of her clothes with her hands, whispering, "No, I've never seen it before."

“That works too. Anyway, no one has ever seen the Pluton, so how can Crocodile tell if what we gave him is the real Pluton?” Rorschach laughed.

"Hmph, you're underestimating Crocodile's stupidity. Whether it's really Pluto or not, why don't you fire a shot to test its power and you'll know?" Luo was speechless, unsure how to describe Luo Xia's naivety.

To his surprise, Luo Xia's smile widened even more upon hearing this.

He patted Enel's dark face with his right hand, raised the golden stone tablet in his hand, and said, "This is what I wanted to say. Look at this golden stone tablet I'm holding. This thing was contributed by our new recruit, Comrade Enel. It's a precious warship blueprint from Skypiea from hundreds of years ago. Just this golden stone tablet alone, if I were to throw it into the ruins of the Alabasta royal palace, would be 100% related to Pluto, the god of the underworld. Because everyone knows that Pluto is a ship, and this blueprint for the Ark of the Bastion is also a ship, a ship that we've never seen before."

"This stone slab is hundreds of years old. As far as I know, there is a very knowledgeable archaeologist working with Crocodile who has studied these kinds of ancient artifacts in great depth. We don't even need to forge it; if we put this in the ruins, it would be the blueprint for the Hades warship."

“We have an even larger amount of gold. With that gold, we can easily create a golden warship that has never appeared on the sea before, and throw it into the ruins of Vivi’s family.”

Looking at the crowd who were gradually falling into a daze, Rorschach pointed at Enel and continued, "And our comrade Enel will make a cameo appearance as the energy core of the Hades battleship. He's a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, so isn't it a very simple thing for him to transform his body and hide on the golden battleship? If Crocodile doesn't believe me, he can fire a shot. Hehehe, then..."

Rorschach looked at Enel with a smile, "You, the former Skypiea god, should show off your divine power and let this bumpkin Shichibukai from the Blue Sea see if the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's full power can rival a single shot from the Ancient Weapon Pluton. Of course, you can't harm the people of Alabasta."

At that moment, everyone on the ship stared at Luo Xia with their mouths agape, lost in a long, stunned silence.

After a long pause, Luo's cheek twitched. "I really want to cut open your brain and see what kind of structure it is to come up with such a... rotten, festering idea... I can already imagine the spectacular performance Crocodile will put on after he falls into your trap."

Yun Que stepped forward with an expression of admiration, took Luo Xia's hand, and exclaimed with sparkling eyes, "Brother Luo Xia, you're amazing! You actually came up with such a great idea. Let's get started, let's build a golden warship, no, let's build a Hades warship."

"If we could really build a huge ship made entirely of gold, put that golden slab inside, and send it all to the ruins of our Nefertari family, Crocodile might actually mistake it for the Hades' warship. However, the entrance and passageways of those ruins are very small, only allowing a few people to pass through. It's impossible for a large ship to pass through. Moreover, there's no time to build a ship now."

Vivi's eyes dimmed slightly.

Rorschach's idea was good, but they didn't have time to waste.

Now, the capital Albana is probably already at the gates of the city.

Just as they were thinking this, thick bolts of lightning intertwined and covered the golden lumps on the deck of the Qilin, startling the soldiers who were surrounding them into scattering in fright.

Enel reluctantly joined Rorschach in the attack, unleashing a massive amount of high-intensity lightning power as it hurtled towards the gold nugget that Rorschach had manipulated to float in mid-air.

"Sixty million volts of discharge! Lei Yejin!"

The crackling of electricity caused the temperature on the Kirin to rise by tens of degrees.

"Don't do that on the ship, you'll damage the Qilin." Luo Xia waved his hands, and the gold nuggets floating above the deck transformed into a long golden dragon. To Weiwei's astonishment, it flew out of the Qilin and hovered above the sand dunes on the side of the warship.

The dazzling, terrifying lightning followed closely like a leech, striking the hundreds of gold nuggets.

Soon, a large amount of gold melted rapidly under the extremely high temperature of the lightning, turning into flowing molten gold, like a golden river flowing and converging in the air.

Looking at the gold nugget that Enel had turned into molten gold, an interesting idea arose in Rorschach's mind.

“Enel, you generate the electricity, and I will control these golden waters to form ships.”

As he spoke, Luo Xia took action, using airflow and magnetic fields to draw the golden river flowing in the air together, forming a series of interlocking golden gears, a ship hull covered with dragon patterns, and a miniature version of the Shandora Golden Bell, which were suspended at the entrance of the gradually taking shape golden warship.

Furthermore, at the bow of the golden warship, a thick golden cannon barrel, half the length of the warship, pierces the sky, its base fixed to a turret base capable of rotating 180 degrees.

Half an hour later, to everyone's astonishment, a golden warship, 20 meters long and entirely made of gold, appeared on the sandy side of the Qilin.

A 20-meter boat is not small.

But next to the 100-meter-long Kirin, it looks like a miniature toy.

"Isn't this Hades warship a bit too small?" Luo couldn't help but complain.

"Concentrated is the essence, what do you know?" Luo Xia rolled his eyes.

The Kirin only brought a few hundred tons of gold from the Sky Island, enough to build a 20-meter ship, which was already considered to be the best he could use.

The ship may not look big, but the design and construction of the gears inside required a lot of thought and imagination from Rorschach.

Although it doesn't seem to be of much use, at least it looks very high-end.

In short, it's the kind of thing that Crocodile would find impressive at first glance.

He decorated the exterior of the ship with many dragon and mandala patterns, making the ship look imposing and mysterious.

The warship's deck was Rorschach's favorite open-air design.

That's right, it's designed like an aircraft carrier.

The ship had no masts or large cabins, only a thick and large gun emplacement that looked very powerful.

Luo Xia thoughtfully added a useless button to the base of the turret.

He leaped aboard the golden warship, patted the massive golden cannon barrel, and looked at Enel, saying, "Enel, you'll hide in this barrel and try to conceal your presence. Your Observation Haki is very powerful, so just show off your raging lightning energy. Crocodile's Haki has weakened considerably, but the chaotic energy will be enough to confuse him. When you see that guy press the button on this, you fly out like a shot and show him what you've got. Remember to go big, make sure that arrogant guy is intimidated."

Enel stared at the golden cannon barrel that Rorschach was patting, his face full of black lines, and he really wanted to quit.

I, the mighty Thor, would never do such a thing...

Wait a minute, performing a divine act in front of people, giving the people of Qinghai a little bit of divine awe, seems pretty satisfying.

Fine, I'll just have some compassion and help these vulnerable people from Qinghai.

It wasn't that he was afraid of that kid Luo Xia; it was just the gods' mercy upon their subjects.

"Hmm, this thing needs to be aged a bit."

Luo Xia stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then leaped into the air, hovering above it. He grasped the invisible air currents with both hands, engulfing the rolling yellow sand from the surrounding desert and transforming it into a roaring, surging sand dragon that frantically rubbed and washed against the hull of the golden warship.

After a good ten minutes, the once golden warship became rough and crude, and the dragon and flower patterns carved on the hull became blurry and indistinct.

"Alright, just do it casually. This golden warship is just a shell. Whether it can fool Crocodile depends on the golden stone tablet and Enel's lightning energy."

Rorschach stopped, nodded in satisfaction, and turned back to the deck of the Kirin. Looking at Vivi, he said, "Princess Vivi, we'll first place this 'Pluto Battleship' in your family's ruins. Of course, we need to confirm Crocodile isn't in the capital first. If that guy is causing trouble in the capital right now, this tactic won't be useful. And without solid evidence, I can't kill him; at most, I can beat him up. Don't worry, whether he's in the capital or not, the war in Alabasta won't break out, because I'm here!"

Weiwei stared blankly into Luo Xia's deep blue eyes, and at the gentle smile on his face that was full of absolute confidence, her previously flustered heart immediately calmed down.

She nodded obediently, but still stammered, "Major General Rorschach, the entrance and passage of my family's ruins are very small, and I'm afraid this ship cannot pass through them. And if we were to damage the top of the ruins, it might arouse Crocodile's suspicion."

Luo Xia waved his hand and pointed at Luo, saying, "Don't worry, it's a very simple 'operation.' Luo will handle it. Now, let's get to the capital first."

About an hour later, the Kirin hovered steadily in the clouds seven or eight thousand meters above the royal capital of Albana.

To avoid alerting Crocodile, Rorschach maneuvered the Kirin to hover at this altitude.

"Alright, let me see if our kingdom's hero, Mr. Crocodile, is causing trouble in the capital."

Rorschach stood on the ship's railing and released his Observation Haki downwards.

At the same time, tiny arcs of electricity rapidly extended down the air, spreading across Albana and enhancing his Observation Haki perception.

Soon, Luo Xia exclaimed in surprise.

Crocodile is not even within the capital city's jurisdiction.

That's a bit strange.

Now that the rebel army below has already reached the city gates, and many members of the Baroque Works are secretly causing trouble among them.

But Old Sand, the mastermind behind it all, is not in the royal city.

Where did he go?

Luo Xia frowned slightly.

unusual.

But never mind.

Crocodile's absence is a good thing, as it allows him to implement his planned 'ambition expansion boosting plan'.

Before Crocodile arrives, let's arrange for the Pluton battleship we've prepared to be deployed to him.

Immediately, Luo Xia steered the Qilin to plummet rapidly, hurtling towards the direction Weiwei had pointed.

The Kirin descended at an incredibly fast speed, and a few minutes later, it landed on the open ground of the ruins of the royal capital.

The landing of such a massive warship did not attract the attention of the guards in the royal city.

Before the Qilin landed, a hazy, misty fog enveloped the entire warship, simulating the backdrop of the royal city, as if giving the Qilin the ability to adapt to its environment like a chameleon.

This is the camouflage effect of a mirage cloud, developed from the cloud fruit of a lark.

By using the refraction and reflection of light, as well as the color-changing camouflage of clouds, people's vision is deceived.

Of course, at present, Hibari's ability can only fool ordinary people.

As soon as the Kirin landed, without waiting for Luo Xia's instructions, Palmer volunteered to walk up to the golden warship, stretched out his two thick arms, hugged the side of the hundreds-of-tons warship, and lifted it up with all his might.

As it turns out, the power of the Titans is also quite terrifying, far beyond what ordinary people like Law and Hibari can match.

Even though their physical training was quite rigorous.

This is racial advantage.

The demon race among the giants can even transport kingdoms and drag their favorite islands.

Seeing Palmer carry the golden warship off the Kirin, Luo Xia turned his head to look at Luo.

Without Rorschach even having to say a word, Rorschach grabbed the Ghost Crying Sword and jumped down after Palmer.

He held a ball of lightning encased in a transparent gas shield and pressed it into his heart.

This is a small ball of lightning power that Luo Xia has condensed, which can be used to stimulate physical activity and greatly increase explosive power in a short period of time.

Luo's current strength is not enough; the limit of the surgical space's coverage area is only about 600 meters.

He was worried that during the relocation within the surgical space, the golden warship might get stuck in the wall of the ruins below, so he planned to stimulate his body to enhance his strength.

Yes, Rorschach intended for Rorschach to use his surgical space abilities to directly move the golden warship to the ruins below.

Law's Op-Op Fruit ability allows him to freely move objects within the surgical space he creates.
