One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Unexpectedly, he was defeated and killed by two teenagers.

It was almost like having a long, hazy dream.

Blood spread beneath him, like a blooming datura flower.

Crocodile is dead.

Looking at Crocodile, who was standing motionless with his head tilted back, and Vivi, who was tightly clutching the Peacock Dagger, her petite body trembled uncontrollably. Countless complex and incomprehensible emotions surged into her heart at this moment.

At this moment, she felt no pleasure in revenge; she only wanted to cry out loud and release the suppressed emotions in her heart.

“Princess Vivi, you see, I told you long ago that only you could save this country. Now, you have done it, you have done it very well, you are amazing.”

A gentle, warm voice sounded in her ear, and then a strong hand pressed down on her head.

In an instant, Weiwei's trembling body stopped, she turned around abruptly, and threw herself into the arms of the boy behind her, tears streaming down her face.

Chapter 331 The Army Presses In

As dusk approached, the setting sun, like blood, dyed the vast expanse of yellow sand a crimson hue.

Sitting on the walls of Albana, Luo Xia looked down at the endless desert before him, his thoughts churning slightly.

Crocodile is dead.

He was ultimately not captured and imprisoned in Impel Down after his failed attempt to seize Alabasta.

Even if Vivi doesn't make a move, Luo Xia will kill him.

He didn't want to see the other party achieve enlightenment in Impel Down, undergo a transformation in prison, and then return to the sea a few years later to create a Cross Guild dedicated to hunting down the navy.

Without a doubt, Crocodile has the potential to become a great pirate.

He and Moria may seem to be the two most unsuccessful of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but they are also among the few rising stars of the pirate world who dare to challenge the overlords of the sea after Roger's death.

Compared to Jinbe, who willingly became Whitebeard's son, Hancock, whose mentality collapsed at the mere mention of Celestial Dragons, and Doflamingo, who broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of Kaido, Crocodile, who dared to challenge Whitebeard, and Moria, who dared to confront Kaido head-on, are the most courageous silver medalists.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the World Government still extended an invitation to them to become Shichibukai even after their defeat.

Since joining the Navy, Rorschach has been trying to change some of the bleak future that was already set in stone.

For example, by taking a risk and killing a Celestial Dragon in Sabaody Archipelago, the World Government could decide to block the passage to the New World, cutting off the supply of fresh blood for pirates.

The transvestite paradise, which could trigger an Impel Down escape, has been exposed in Impel Down.

Recommend Shiryu to Akainu.

Kill Basquejote.

Or, the things done on Enies Lobby, Water Seven, Queen's Castle in Springtime, and in Magic Valley and Skypiea will more or less influence the future course of things.

What Rorschach wanted to do was to strengthen the navy's power as much as possible while weakening the pirates' power.

At the same time, we should do our best to strengthen ourselves and face those enemies who stand at the top of the sea in the strongest form.

This enemy refers not only to Whitebeard, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, Shanks, and others.

It may also include the Five Elders standing on his head, and Im, who is suspected to have lived for eight hundred years.

He absolutely cannot fight against these people by himself alone.

That's why he goes around trying to win people over and get them to join him.

From the very beginning with Law to the present with Enel.

Then gradually, Rorschach also discovered that, with his actions, some of the established trajectories of this world and the fates of some people were also changing.

For example, the early outbreak of war in Alabasta was caused by Dazbonis's death in Queen's City in the spring, which led Crocodile to launch his plan to seize the country ahead of schedule.

According to the normal timeline, Crocodile's plan would have officially begun three years later, shortly after Luffy set sail.

But now it's been a full three years ahead of schedule.

As his thoughts drifted, Palmer's loud shouts suddenly rang out from the ground below the cliff.

"Attention! Enemy sighted! Prepare for battle!"

The giant's roar shattered the tranquility of Albana, startling the kingdom's guards who stood on the city walls with weapons in hand, and they all looked towards the distant edge of the desert.

Rorschach looked over as well, and saw shadowy figures appearing where the desert met the sky under the dim sunset.

The leading figure was exceptionally large; even from a distance of over a thousand meters, he resembled a towering giant, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

The number of figures was enormous, stretching out in a vast expanse, like a black tide, rapidly surging towards them.

Perhaps hearing Palmer's shout, Cobra and the others, who had been worried about Moria's attack, immediately ran up from the city wall and came to Rorschach's side.

"Admiral Rorschach, is it Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Rorschach remained seated on the brick wall at the edge of the city gate, his snow-white cloak billowing behind him, fluttering wildly in the twilight wind.

He nodded. "Yes, it is indeed Gecko Moria. It seems he brought all his men with him. It looks like he really hates me."

Cobra stared at the rapidly approaching, imposing figure in the distance and suggested, "Rear Admiral Rorschach, let my Kingdom Guard join the Navy's battle. Bell and Jakka are also Devil Fruit users; they'll definitely be of help."

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Cobra. But I won't help you. Moria and the pirates from the Flower Country are here to see me. Don't worry, I don't take them seriously. My men are very strong."

Rorschach declined Cobra's offer.

In front of the royal city, on the desert land below the cliff, Luo and Yun Que, along with their naval warriors, formed a square formation, waiting in full battle array for the enemy to approach.

Enel and others were among them.

Rorschach had no intention of intervening in the battle.

He sat quietly atop the city wall, overlooking the battlefield that was about to erupt below.

Warriors need to fight to improve themselves.

Hibari, who has gained the power of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, also needs to fight to hone his new abilities.

Enel, on the other hand, needs to adapt to the battles in the Blue Sea.

Aside from being a little afraid of Rorschach, this guy usually acts all arrogant and cocky, like he thinks he's the best.

Of course, a powerful figure like Moria alone would probably not only fail to curb Enel's arrogance, but might even encourage it.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The earth trembled violently, and the ground throbbed with a dull, thunderous sound, as if a drum had been struck.

On the piled-up sand dunes, the yellow sand was shaken violently and slid down in all directions.

To the stunned gazes of Palmer and the others, a colossal giant, over sixty meters tall, with two towering horns on its head, naked red skin, and a large hole in its swollen belly, walked up to them, carrying a broadsword over thirty meters long.

The giant was so enormous that the height of its head alone was close to the top of the city wall where Rorschach and Cobra were located.

The long, flowing golden hair, the empty right eye, and the thick, white bones exposed all over the body were all awe-inspiring.

"It's huge! What kind of monster is this? Palmer, even you are not as tall as his thigh compared to him. You're going to be... going to be crushed." Bepo looked up at the mountain-sized Oz, and all the fur on his body stood on end.

Palmer stared wide-eyed, his lips trembling.

"A demon... a demon! There's no mistake, this is the demon race that Mom and Dad have been talking about, the largest mutant giant among our giants, capable of moving mountains and transporting kingdoms! So there really are giants like this in the world. I thought it was just a story."

The lark opened its small beak slightly and exclaimed in amazement, "It's so big! It's much bigger than a normal giant!"

Enel took a bite of the apple in his hand, glancing indifferently at the large figure sitting inside Oz's ripped-open belly. "Strange Qinghai people, they have such an anatomy. How come they don't die from injuries like this? I wonder if they would die if they were struck by lightning?"

"Those are zombies, immortal beings created by Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, using corpses and the shadows of living people. Oars of the Nation is a corpse that has been dead for many years. It is said that he died because he was too big and never wore clothes, so he froze to death."

Luo Yue stepped forward and drew the Ghost Cry from his hand.

"Hehehe, hehehe! Navy, can you tell me where that brat named Rorschach is?"

From Oz's open belly, Moria's bloated figure emerged, looking down at the group of marines before him, his mouth full of fangs bared, his tone chilling.

Beside him, a flurry of footsteps sounded, and a dense mass of warriors wielding swords and spears appeared.

Within the dense crowd, an angry voice roared loudly.

"Navy Rorschach! Come out and face your death!"

"Arrogant! If you want to attack a major general, you'll have to get past us first!"

The warriors, not to be outdone, drew their swords and displayed their well-equipped Sky Island shellfish.

"As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, how dare you openly attack a Marine Headquarters Admiral? Do you want the World Government to revoke your title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Hibari shouted.

"Hmm?" Moria's eyes widened as he stared intently at Hibari's petite figure, gritting his teeth and saying hatefully, "I remember you. You're that brat in the navy who got promoted after killing Absalom. Hehehe, I'll cut out your shadow later and make you wish you were dead!"

As he spoke, he opened his fierce eyes and scanned the crowd, trying to find Rorschach.

At that moment, a faint voice came from the city wall and clearly rang in his ears.

"Unauthorized trespassing into a member state's territory and attempting to attack the navy, Moria, do you know what kind of crime that is?"

Upon hearing this, Moria looked up sharply and saw Rorschach sitting on the city wall, dressed in pure white.

The moment he saw Luo Xia, a violent killing intent was released uncontrollably from his body, and large shadows appeared behind him, spreading directly towards Luo Xia.

"Rorschach, you brat! I'm going to kill you, kill that woman, kill all the marines here, turn them all into zombies, and avenge Absalom!"

"What's your hurry? Are you rushing to be reincarnated? I haven't even spoken to the other guests yet."

Luo Xia watched indifferently as the large swath of dark figures approached, showing no intention of making a move.

Enel dropped the fruit pit in his hand, clicked his tongue, and flicked his finger, sending the pit flying dozens of meters before it landed on the rapidly spreading shadow.

boom!

A thick bolt of lightning ripped through the twilight sky, illuminating the faces of countless people in the field and instantly blasting the surging shadows on the ground into countless black fragments.

Moria was taken aback.

But what surprised him was not Enel's lightning strike, but rather the familiar figure hanging on the wall below Rorschach, which was illuminated by the lightning.

"Crocodile! How is this possible?"

Moria stared in shock at Crocodile, who had been pierced through the chest by a black halberd and pinned to the wall, his heart pounding with dread.

For a moment, I didn't know what to do.

Crocodile is dead! I was on the phone with him just a few hours ago.

What exactly happened here? Why did Crocodile die? And why did he die so tragically?
