One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

.

On the Kirin.

Clusters of fist-sized orbs of light floated above the deck, illuminating the entire ship.

Inside the ship's cabin, in the medical room specially prepared for Luo, the ship's medic, Luo Xia, completely naked, was lying on his back on the operating table.

Bepo, Pekin, and Xia Qi were busy cleaning Rorschach's hideous wounds with medical alcohol.

Even though Moria used his powers to transfer some of his injuries, there were still very few unscathed spots on Rorschach's body.

A large amount of skin was torn by Kaido's spiked club, resulting in significant loss of underlying muscle tissue and blood vessels.

Although Kaido values ​​talent, he shows no mercy when he attacks.

It can be said that apart from his skeletal structure, which remained undamaged, all other parts of Luo Xia's body, including his internal organs, suffered extremely severe shock damage.

What devastated Bepo and the others even more was that they discovered that a small part of Rorschach's tongue was missing from his mouth.

It's truly unimaginable how he endured such inhuman injuries.

Anyone else would probably be dead by now.

Despite being thoroughly rinsed with large amounts of alcohol, Rorschach showed no signs of regaining consciousness.

Bepo, who was cleaning Rorschach's wounds, already had tears welling up in his eyes.

"Major General, you must wake up! We still need to catch the pirates."

Chapter 349 The Five Elders' Illegitimate Son?

Enel was found by Kizaru from dozens of meters deep in the sand.

In their search for this guy, Tina led a group of naval warriors and nearly turned the entire shattered land within a radius of tens of kilometers upside down.

When Kizaru found him, he was barely breathing, buried deep in the yellow sand, his consciousness about to dissipate.

Enel was brutally struck in the chest by Kaido's club, breaking more than a dozen ribs on the spot. His heart even stopped beating as he slammed into the sand.

If it weren't for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability to provide electrotherapy to his body, Enel would likely have been killed by Kaido's blow.

Kaido probably didn't expect that the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, who could unleash such exaggerated lightning attacks, would be so weak that he couldn't even withstand a single blow from Kaido.

It's worth noting that another young naval brat who can generate lightning can even withstand three of his powerful entanglement attacks.

When Kizaru brought Enel back to the Kirin, he saw a tired-looking Law wiping his hands as he walked out of the operating room. He asked, "How did it go, kid?"

Luo sighed and shook his head: "The situation is not optimistic. I just cut open his body and found that he not only has a lot of external injuries, but his internal organs have also been severely damaged, and there is a lot of internal bleeding."

"Cut...cut it open?" A big question mark appeared on Kizaru's forehead.

Cutting a person open to examine their injuries... is that even acceptable?

As expected of someone with the Op-Op Fruit ability.

If it were another doctor, they might be able to cut it open, but they might not be able to put it back together intact.

Luo nodded: "These injuries seem serious, but I believe that with Luo Xia's abnormal recovery ability, as long as he can wake up and eat a lot of food like he did when he was training at Marineford, he can definitely recover from these internal and external injuries quickly."

Kizaru listened and wholeheartedly agreed.

He had witnessed the absurd scene of Rorschach eating after fighting him.

He ate and digested simultaneously, rapidly recovering from his injuries.

He's like a monster.

“But that’s where the problem lies.” Luo frowned deeply, his eyes filled with confusion. “After Moria’s damage transfer and my surgery, his injuries have been contained, but he just can’t wake up.”

"Can't wake up? Why?" Kizaru exclaimed in surprise.

His heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Oh no! Could it be that Kaido's attack is not just a simple physical blow, but also a soul attack similar to Big Mom's?"

"I suspect that Rorschach's mind must have suffered some serious trauma or injury. And this injury is very likely related to Gecko Moria or Kaido. Now, we can only wait for Moria to wake up and find out the cause before we can carry out targeted treatment."

Law rubbed his throbbing temples, stepped forward, and gestured for Palmer to place Enel on the deck. He knelt down, examined Enel's injuries, and then sighed.

"This guy also needs surgery; he has more than a dozen broken ribs and multiple internal organ ruptures."

"Is it that serious? Should we take him to the operating room?" Palmer's expression changed slightly, and he asked hurriedly.

"No need, let's do it here. But I need to rest first."

After Luo finished speaking, he seemed to collapse from exhaustion and sat down heavily on the deck, leaning against the ship's railing. In less than five seconds, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He had also suffered serious injuries and performed surgery on Luo Xia, so he was completely exhausted.

Enel, lying at Law's feet, stared at him with his eyes open, enduring waves of stabbing pain surging through his body, cursing under his breath.

"At least give me some basic treatment, I feel like I'm going to die."

Enel felt that he must have lost his mind during the day to rush up and attack that demon-like man so rashly.

I should have taken the opportunity to slip away while Luo Xia was being beaten up.

Why be a Marine? Wouldn't it be better to go back to Skypiea and be your own god?

No, that kid can fly, so going back to the Sky Island doesn't seem very safe.

We still need to go to the infinite land.

However, the Ark of Mieyan was only half-built and not completed at all, so it was impossible to go there even if one wanted to.

Go somewhere else in Qinghai?

But the thought that he was unfamiliar with Qinghai and what if he ran into a demon king like Kaido? His future might be even more difficult than it was now.

And what kind of place is Qinghai? How many powerful people are there there?

After Kaido escaped, now another unfathomable, lecherous old man has appeared.

Enel suddenly felt that his life was shrouded in darkness.

Damn it, I really want to go to the boundless land...

three days later.

The door to the infirmary was pushed open, and Hibari walked in carrying a basin of hot water.

She skillfully picked up the towel from the warm water, wrung it out, lifted the thin blanket covering Luo Xia, and gently wiped Luo Xia's body.

Looking at Luo Xia lying on his back with his eyes closed, Yun Que couldn't help but reach out and stroke his cheek.

Three days have passed since that sudden calamity.

But Rorschach remained unconscious.

For the past three days, Yun Que has been sleeping in the infirmary.

She was worried about leaving Luo Xia alone here.

He didn't want to go back to the captain's cabin to rest alone.

Without Rorschach, the captain's cabin felt empty.

Without seeing the boy's occasional blush or blank stare, Yun Que felt something was missing.

If possible, Hibari would actually prefer Rorschach to be a less outstanding, more ordinary naval soldier.

In that case, we might not have to go to the most dangerous places every time.

Just like her father.

Perhaps they could find a naval branch across the seas, become an ordinary naval commander, fight off small-time pirates, and live a more leisurely life.

However, Lark knew that Rorschach wouldn't do that.

This boy harbored a dream of changing the world.

He has great ambitions.

He wanted to protect the navy, he wanted to save civilians, he wanted to quell the chaos, and he wanted to restore order.

He once said, "When you are successful, you should help others; when you are unsuccessful, you should cultivate your own virtue."

Since God has given him the opportunity and the power, he should do what he can for this world that is riddled with problems.

And that's exactly what he did.

He did many things within his power in Sabaody Archipelago, Water Seven, Queen's City of Spring, Mock Town, Skypiea, and Alabasta.

Although his ideas were always told by Luo that they were too naive.

But this stubborn young man once said that some things always have to be done by someone.

If you don't do it, I don't do it, and everyone just slacks off, the world will only get worse.

But Lark always felt that Rorschach was in a hurry.

He was eager to improve his strength and fight off the pirates.

But he's only fourteen years old, with a long future ahead of him, so why the rush?

Lark once asked Rorschach this question one evening.

At the time, Lark remembered that the boy said he was afraid.

I'm afraid that everything I'm experiencing now is just a long, unreal dream.

I'm afraid that one day this long-held dream will shatter.

I'm afraid that all the happiness, suffering, joy, emotion, and sweet moments I've experienced are fake.

I'm afraid that one day I'll suddenly wake up from this dream and lose everything.

Because of fear, he tried incredibly hard to see and to fight for it.

Lark couldn't understand what Rorschach meant by those words.

But what I saw was the loneliness hidden deep within the boy's heart.

He was like a ghost detached from this world, yearning to be integrated, longing for someone to accept him.

and so.

Lark wanted to be the first person to accept him.
