One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

The violent power was unleashed, surging out like a tidal wave, instantly shattering the enormous grasping hand in mid-air, turning it into chaotic gusts of wind that scattered in all directions.

Ahead lay a desolate desert landscape, with a groove hundreds of meters wide and of unknown length carved out, as if a piece had been scraped away.

However, the invisible storm quickly gathered, transforming back into an even larger storm hand, which pressed down once more.

In the darkness, it seemed as if a storm giant, ten thousand meters tall, stood in the towering tornado pillar in the desert, reaching out his palm towards Kaido.

This time, from within the giant storm palm that was pressed down, countless wind blades, compressed to their limit and transformed into tangible swords, shot out from all directions toward Kaido.

The wind is formless; even if it is briefly dispersed, it will gather again.

Kaido's face was filled with rage. He roared and stepped into the air, crashing headlong into the raging storm. With each swing of his spiked club, he could easily shatter the storm within a space of hundreds of meters and deflect the compressed wind blades that shot towards him.

But the greater danger comes from the depths of the raging storm.

As the air currents surged, a dragon claw wreathed in black and red lightning emerged from behind Kaido, its terrifying energy shattering everything in its path.

"Annihilation Dragon Claw!"

"I was prepared for this, Dragon!"

A glint flashed in Kaido's eyes, and his massive, mountain-like body twisted with lightning speed, displaying an agility completely disproportionate to its enormous size. He swung his hands, unleashing the Eight Guardian Spirits that unleashed bursts of black lightning, and slammed them towards Dragon, who had appeared out of thin air.

"Roaring Thunder Eight Trigrams!"

boom!

Dragon, who unleashed the Dragon Claw Fist, seemed unable to withstand Kaido's spiked club. His right hand was gradually pushed back, and his body seemed to be turning into a storm again.

A savage glint flashed in Kaido's eyes, and the Tyrant Lightning bolts shooting from his spiked club became even more ferocious, just as he was about to strike and injure Dragon.

Whoohoo!

A fierce wind whistled past his ears, and air currents surged in the void. Giant hands, wreathed in black and red lightning, appeared from all directions, but no other Dorrag could be seen.

These hundreds of dragon claws, radiating a terrifying aura, seemed to have all grown onto one body.

Kaido raised his head slightly and saw the majestic face that appeared on the ten-thousand-meter-tall pillar of wind. His lips twitched, and he almost cursed.

The tricks of these top-tier Natural-type experts, with their overwhelming destructive power on a catastrophe scale, are their specialty.

Such massive area-of-effect (AOE) attacks, capable of affecting tens or hundreds of kilometers, are simply beyond the capabilities of animal-type attacks that primarily rely on physical strength.

Akainu's Meteor Volcano, transformed into volcanic bombs, can easily cover the entire island.

The Ice Age of the Aokiji was enough to freeze the ocean for hundreds of kilometers around into Arctic glaciers.

Only a handful of Paramecia-type abilities can rival their massive, wide-range attacks.

Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit.

Under the heavy weight of the Eight Precepts, Dorag, who had unleashed the Dragon Claw Fist, exploded into a whirlwind.

But the majestic face thousands of meters above its head let out a godlike roar.

"Storm! Thousand-Armed Dragon King!"

The hurricane boiled, condensing into dragon claws wrapped in black lightning, which swept towards Kaido at the center.

Kaido roared in response, letting out a loud dragon's cry. His body swelled up as if inflated, instantly transforming into a blue dragon hundreds of meters long. From the gaps in the blue dragon scales on his winding body, scorching tongues of fire rapidly surged out.

Vast swirling clouds of flame surged forth from his body, igniting the massive azure dragon's form and turning its hundreds-of-meters-long body a magma-like crimson.

The terrifying high temperature distorted the void and scorched the air. High-level Armament Haki and top-level Conqueror's Haki swirled around his body, and he spun through the air, smashing through the giant hands that reached out to grab him, rushing toward the huge face that appeared above the tornado pillar.

"Fire Dragon Torch!"

"Heat Breath!"

The crimson dragon's mouth opened, and a blazing pillar of fire shot out, shattering several storm dragon claws and shooting straight into the sky.

Rumble!

From all directions, dragon claws, crackling with black lightning, lashed out, grabbing and hammering at the massive body of the crimson dragon. The dragon trembled, flames splattered across its surface, and blood gushed from its crimson scales, instantly evaporating in the intense heat.

The massive dragon body swirled, and the surrounding storm gathered and compressed, also controlled by Kaido to form huge wind blades that slashed at the surrounding dragon claws.

"Tornado!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Countless wind blades shot out, blocking the storm dragon's claws that were grabbing at them. Kaido, in his crimson dragon form, soared upwards and crashed into Dragon's true form, which was locked in place by Observation Haki.

"Rising Dragon! Flaming Eight Trigrams!"

Chapter 347 The Monkey Arrives Late! Kaido Retreats

A dark, inky shadow flowed like water across the shattered ruins of Albana, passing over the chaotic ground and arriving beside Rorschach, who was buried under stones and dust.

The shadow expanded, and the person stood upright, transforming into Moria's bloated, enormous body.

He swept aside the stones and dust scattered on the ground and picked up Rorschach, whose body was shriveled and whose breath was as weak as a candle in the wind.

"ROOM! Slaughterhouse!"

Suddenly, a hemispherical dome descended from nowhere, and Law, gritting his teeth, appeared instantly, wielding the Ghost Cry Blade, and slashed through Moria's waist, cutting a long wound on his body.

Moria grunted, his facial muscles twitching. He braced himself with his left hand on the ground, but did not let go of Rorschach, who was still gripping him with his right.

"Let him go! Gecko Moria! If you don't want to die, if you don't want to be wanted by the Navy, then..."

With blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and his body covered in blood, Law gripped the Ghost Crying Blade and glared at Moria with extreme tension.

He should have died the moment Rorschach and Kaido fell.

But then Dorrag suddenly appeared and saved him.

Not only that, but what Law didn't know was that even the naval soldiers on the desert land outside, along with tens of thousands of residents of Alabasta further away, were lifted up by the power of the storm by Dragon and placed on the ground in safety.

Even though he was rescued by Dragon, his body, which had been severely injured by Kaido, was still bleeding heavily and he was on the verge of fainting.

Law relied entirely on the power of the Op-Op Fruit to forcibly stabilize his injuries.

Once Dragon drove Kaido away, he immediately began searching for Rorschach amidst the ruins.

And then, this scene unfolded.

Moria somehow managed to break free of his Seastone shackles and find Rorschach before him, and who knows what he intends to do to Rorschach.

Despite being slashed by the suddenly appearing Law, Moria was not angry. He simply supported himself on the ground and panted for a few moments before straightening up, grinning as he looked at the unconscious Lawrence whom he was holding in his hand.

"He's dying, you know that?"

"You...!" Luo gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, gripped the long sword in his hand, and opened the surgical space, ready to launch another attack on Moria.

As an excellent surgeon, he naturally understood better than Moria how dangerous Rorschach's current condition was.

No one knows what kind of terrible injuries he suffered to end up in such a critical state, with his life hanging by a thread and his body in such a broken state.

He must be operated on as soon as possible, otherwise, even with his Ope Ope no Mi powers, he will not be able to save Rorschach.

"I can save him."

Law, who was about to dodge and swing his sword, suddenly stopped because of the four words that Moria uttered.

He frowned, staring intently at Moria. "Gecko Moria, what tricks are you trying to pull?"

Moria ignored him and instead let his shadow flow, connecting with Rorschach's shadow.

Luo gripped the long sword in his hand, hesitated for a moment, but still did not stop him.

Although it's unclear why Moria, a Shichibukai who hates Rorschach so much, suddenly changed his mind and wanted to save Rorschach.

However, based on the rough perception of Moria's Observation Haki, there was no obvious malice emanating from him towards Rorschach.

It seems that something must have happened that he was unaware of during the time he was unconscious.

"Shadow Spell! Damage Transfer!"

An invisible force entered Rorschach's body through the shadow that connected to him.

Under Luo's wide-eyed gaze, the terrifying injuries on Luo Xia's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In contrast, Moria, standing atop the ruins, had huge wounds splitting open on his bloated and obese body.

Large amounts of blood gushed from the gaping wounds, staining Moria's massive body crimson.

As Rorschach's injuries healed one by one, Moria's wounds multiplied.

The massive blood loss caused his large body to sway unsteadily, unable to stand.

Crimson blood dripped from the corner of his split mouth.

Despite enduring such horrific injuries, Moria did not stop, but continued to transfer Rorschach's injuries onto himself.

"Stop! That's enough!"

Even Law could see the trick to Moria's move at this moment.

Moria transferred Rorschach's injuries to him through a special connection established by his shadow.

What kind of unexpected event could have made a man who hated Rorschach so much willing to risk his life to save him?

Luo didn't understand at all.

But he could see that Moria in front of him was seeking death!

Moria's vision was blurred. He gritted his teeth, let out a low growl, and his huge eyes widened as large tears mixed with blood fell from their sockets.

scoff!

A terrible wound suddenly split open under his ribs, and through the large expanse of missing muscle and skin, one could see his beating heart!

The breath of life was rapidly fading from Moria's body.

On the other side, although Luo Xia's aura did not return, it gradually stabilized, escaping the danger of constantly sliding into the abyss of death.

Moria's enormous, bloated body had completely become a water bag that leaked from all sides, and the massive amount of blood had stained the ruins beneath him crimson.

Rorschach's body slipped from his grasp, and Moria, supporting himself with his hands, collapsed to the ground.

But the connection of that shadow has not been broken!

"Enough! Gecko Moria!"

Law gritted his teeth, his figure flashed, and with arcs of electricity crackling between the five fingers of his right hand, he pressed down on Moria's forehead.
