One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

A surge of shame and anger exploded in Enel's chest. He wanted to roar, to vent his frustration, to unleash his power and destroy everything here.

But this weak body was unable to exert any strength whatsoever.

Two soft hands lifted him from the ground and held him in a warm embrace.

A beautiful woman with long red hair looked down at him gently and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Mom is here. You're safe now. Come on, let's go home."

Hearing that gentle comfort, Enel's anger and agitation gradually subsided, replaced by a sense of anticipation, emotion, and happiness.

A smile gradually appeared on his pained face as he nestled into the woman's arms.

"Good child, be reborn in my kingdom."

The corners of the woman's mouth slowly turned up.

Behind them, the white sea of ​​clouds continued to spread outwards, revealing a colossal creature behind them.

The woman, holding little Enel, hummed an unknown lullaby as she turned and walked into the gaping black maw of the monster behind her.

The fog surged, and the enormous creature vanished, as if it had never existed.

.

.

In the still sky, Rorschach, with eyes as cold as knives, manipulated the air currents, his body swelling to a massive eight meters.

Strands of leaping lightning surged continuously from his body, spreading and extending towards the surrounding sky, amplifying his Observation Haki.

He became a 360-degree, unobstructed satellite camera with a 50-kilometer radius of surveillance, whizzing across the sea without any attempt to conceal his presence.

The violent whistling air attracted a group of giant sea monsters.

The volcanic, boiling killing intent emanating from Krosha kept these enormous beasts at bay.

Where did Hibari and the others go?

What exactly happened to the Kirin?

Not only Hibari's Den Den Mushi couldn't get through, but even Enel's Den Den Mushi couldn't get through.

This situation is exactly the same as the disappearance of Zefa described in the Warring States period.

The seas in the Calm Zone are vast and endless. If it weren't for the sunset on the horizon to guide them, even Rorschach would likely have gotten lost on this endless sea of ​​water.

With a feeling of anxiety and worry, Rorschach searched for nearly two more hours until the sky in the Calm Belt had completely darkened before he finally discovered an island at the edge of his Observation Haki.

This instantly revitalized Luo Xia's exhausted spirit, causing his body to swell dramatically. With a thunderous roar, he burst through the air, tracing a dazzling arc of lightning across the night sky as he hurtled towards the island fifty kilometers away.

As the distance closed, under the all-encompassing detection of his incredibly powerful Observation Haki, the life force of all the island's inhabitants was exposed to Rorschach's perception without any concealment.

Furthermore, as the power of lightning extended into the sky above the island, Rorschach could clearly see the people and buildings on the island.

He also spotted the two warships anchored among the reefs.

"The Kirin! The other one... could it be Professor Zephyr's warship?"

The moment Rorschach saw the two warships, his pupils contracted sharply.

Because, through his domineering perception, he had already seen where Hibari and Luo were.

However, Zefa was not seen on the island.

Enel was nowhere to be seen.

On the other half of the island, a mist shrouded the area.

It was that mist that prevented the lightning power he released from extending further, as it was blocked by the fog.

This alone is enough to tell that there is something unusual about this island.

"Humph!"

Luo Xia snorted coldly, and his speed in sprinting towards the island did not decrease, but instead increased again.

A few lights were lit up among the densely packed houses on the island.

As the massive body, swirling with storms and lightning, pierced the island's night sky, the island's inhabitants, standing in front of their houses, craned their necks to look up.

Even at this moment, they still maintained satisfied smiles on their faces.

boom!!

In the town center, a dazzling bolt of lightning crashed down on the earth, creating a huge crater and sending up plumes of dust that billowed outwards.

Countless tiny pebbles shot out in all directions, striking the walls of the surrounding houses and immediately creating bowl-sized dents.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a terrifying figure, taller than most houses on the island, slowly rose, stretched out its enormous hand, tore through the miasma in front of it, and looked at the crowd approaching with its cold eyes.

"Brother Luo Xia!"

Suddenly, a petite naval girl with a surprised smile on her face appeared in the crowd and ran quickly along the street toward Rorschach.

Many naval soldiers, including Bepo, Law, and Palmer, stood at the front of the crowd.

Upon seeing the lark run out, they immediately followed behind him and walked towards this side.

Panting, Lark ran up to Luo Xia, tilting her rosy, delicate face up to look at his imposing figure.

“Brother Luo Xia, I thought you couldn’t find this place. I was just thinking of taking everyone out to sea to look for you…”

"If you're not Hibari, don't use Hibari's face and talk to me like that." Rorschach didn't revert to human form. With his grotesque body covered in azure scales, he looked down at Hibari standing in front of him and the group of marines following closely behind her. "We're not that close."

Yun Que was taken aback, and then a look of grievance appeared on her little face.

"Brother Luo Xia, why do you say that? Yun Que is very sad."

Luo Xia ignored her and instead used his indifferent vertical pupils to scan the growing crowd around him.

Using his Observation Haki, he sensed that there were nearly five thousand people here.

Strangely, 90% of them had the same stiff smile on their faces.

Only the expressions on the faces of Hibari, Law, the naval soldiers, and a few residents who were close to him appeared relatively natural.

Especially the lark who was speaking, with its tearful and aggrieved appearance, made people feel a pang of pity.

Where is this place?

Luo Xia looked at Luo, who was walking towards him.

Luo replied in his usual cool voice, "This is the Kingdom of Reunion."

"The Country of Reunion?"

“Yes, it means…” Luo continued, wanting to explain, but was stopped by the coldness in Luo Xia’s eyes.

Rorschach said indifferently, "Since this is a country, where is the king or the person in power? Come out and meet us."

The huge square was completely silent.

No one spoke; the thousands of people in the crowd just stared at them with stiff, unsettling smiles.

Seeing that no one responded, Rorschach nodded.

"very good."

"What did you say? Brother Luo Xia?" Yun Que looked up in confusion and saw Luo Xia, who was maintaining a demon-like posture, suddenly freeze in his cold eyes.

boom!

A domineering and overwhelming aura, like a mountain torrent or a tsunami, burst forth from his body, transforming into an infinitely expanding ball of black and red light, which instantly crashed into the surrounding crowd.

Chapter 357 Zephyr's Tears

boom!

Without any warning, a torrent of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Rorschach's imposing body, drawing out countless tiny, spiderweb-like streaks of black and red lightning across the entire town.

The terrifying aura transformed into tangible pressure and impact, sweeping across all directions like a hurricane.

In an instant, the city residents who had gathered around with stiff smiles on their faces turned deathly pale, their eyes rolled back, and they collapsed like wheat fields cut by a sickle.

The sounds of people falling to the ground were continuous, and some of those who were close by even had bright red blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.

In less than three breaths, in the vast city square, besides Rorschach, only Lark, Rorschach, Palmer, Bepo, and a handful of other people remained standing.

Seeing the demon-like Luo Xia looking down at her, Yun Que, who had been looking aggrieved, suddenly showed a look of fear on her little face and involuntarily began to back away.

Luo Xia looked down at her panicked face, his lips parted to reveal four snow-white fangs.

"What? Aren't you Hibari? Hibari isn't afraid of me."

In front of the few 'acquaintances' who were still standing, Luo Xia slowly raised his massive, frighteningly thick arm, a cruel smile spreading across his face.

"Stop with all this nonsense and dragging things out. In the end, we'll just have to fight anyway. If you've got the guts, just come out here! I want to see where this troublesome guy has come from this time."

Seeing his enormous fist slowly extending into the void before him, Luo, holding his long sword, and the others' expressions all changed. Without hesitation, they turned and ran.

"Don't run away! You've made such a big fuss just to recruit people, haven't you? Now, I'm joining you. Tell your king to come out and see me!"

boom!

Without any domineering aura or the power of storms and thunder, relying solely on the savage physique enhanced by his mythical beast species, Luo Xia unleashed an air cannon hundreds of meters wide, compressing the air in front of him layer by layer into rolling shockwaves that crushed towards Hibari and the others who were fleeing.

"Damn it! What kind of monster is this?!"

A sharp scream escaped the lark's throat, and then her petite body was slammed by the violent impact, spitting out a large amount of blood.

Before she even landed, her delicate skin cracked inch by inch, her limbs twisted and detached from her torso, and her pretty face split open to the sides, from which emerged a black and yellow bee head.

Then came a body four or five meters long, and transparent wings that unfolded from its back.

It was a giant bee, five or six meters long.

The giant bee spread its wings, buzzing and vibrating, and quickly soared into the sky dozens of meters high. It then changed direction, seemingly wanting to fly towards the rear half of the island.

However, before it could make a move, a golden bean, flashing with lightning, streaked across the night sky, leaving a silvery trail, and shot towards it, instantly blasting its enormous head apart.

The headless body flapped its wings and wobbled as it plummeted toward the town below.

Upon witnessing this scene, Law and Bepo's expressions all changed. Their bodies swelled up and, under Law's gaze, transformed into large insects of various shapes, scattering and fleeing at high speed.

The changes in them surprised Luo Xia.

"So many Zoan-type Devil Fruit users? And they're all insects."
