One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Rorschach's eyes revealed an incredibly complex expression as he looked at Zephyr, who stood quietly opposite him.

Zefa looked at him wearily without saying a word.

The master and disciple stood facing each other quietly.

For a long time.

Until, a baby's cry came from afar, as if it plucked a string in Zefa's heart, and his cloudy eyes were instantly tinged with darkness.

boom!

The earth shattered, and a heavy mechanical arm pressed down on the void, punching down towards Luo Xia!

His long hair billowed wildly in the wind as Zephyr's punches blew. Rorschach took a deep breath, exhaled, and his right fist swirled with deep blue domineering energy, transforming into a tangible armor as he met the attack head-on.

"Professor Zephyr! I'm sorry!"

Clang!

The massive mechanical arm vibrated violently, emitting a piercing buzz. The instant the two men's fists collided, a powerful gust of wind swept in all directions, stirring up dust and debris.

Luo Xia frowned slightly, glancing at the unconscious Yun Que and the others out of the corner of his eye, then at Zefa, whose eyes had turned into a dark aura. With a determined heart, his body swelled up, and the violent power within him surged towards Zefa, who had raised his mechanical arm, like an unstoppable torrent.

His right leg, as thick as a stone pillar supporting an ancient palace, stirred up the vacuum and gathered a huge slash hundreds of meters wide, which Rorschach kicked out and cut Zephyr in half.

Zefa was enveloped in jet-black Armored Haki armor, and even Rorschach's Super Tempest Kick couldn't break through his high-level Armored Haki defense in a short time.

But that immense force sent Zephyr flying through the air, shooting backward like a cannonball.

Rorschach's imposing, godlike figure followed closely behind. His massive arms, over four meters long and bulging with bulging muscles, crushed the void and tore through the atmosphere, creating ripples in the air as he grabbed at Zefa's flying body.

His massive size and terrifying aura made Luo Xia seem like a demon god who had emerged from a blood-red battlefield, captivating everyone's attention.

But this time, the opponent is Zephyr!

Zefa spent his life in the military, and his combat experience was extremely rich.

With a loud bang, Zephyr's flying figure suddenly stopped. He stomped his foot, and a burst of air pushed his body back. By a hair's breadth, he dodged Rorschach's terrifying Qilin Claw. The kick, wrapped in Armament Haki, landed on Rorschach's armpit in mid-air.

With a dull, thunderous sound like a drumbeat, Rorschach's burly body was kicked dozens of meters away by Zephyr.

Bang bang bang!

Puffs of white vapor exploded continuously beneath Zefa's feet, propelling his body to accelerate wildly, leaving a refracting trail in mid-air before delivering a punch aimed at Rorschach's throat.

Rorschach raised his arm to block, while thick bolts of lightning surged from his body, blasting towards Zephyr.

Dozens of meters in the air, the air became viscous and turbulent, like churned seawater. Zephyr's heavy mechanical arm slammed down, and Rorschach below was like an iron felt under a pile driver, blasted down into the town below by his punch.

Boom!

Amidst the enormous explosion, the town in the basin was as if struck by a meteorite falling from the sky. Houses were blown away and broken as if they were made of paper, the hard ground undulated like waves, and hundreds of tons of soil surged into the sky.

Zephyr, who had slammed Rorschach down with a single punch, was also not faring well. His tall body was constantly bombarded by beams of dazzling lightning, causing the armor plating on his body to tremble violently.

The burst of electric arcs illuminated the dark sky above the town.

The flickering candlelight that had previously illuminated the basin had long been extinguished when Luo Xia unleashed the gale. If it weren't for the current burst of lightning, this island shrouded in mist would have been completely dark.

Despite being struck by lightning, Zephyr plummeted down, pressing down on its mechanical arm and crashing it down onto the giant rising from the crater below.

"Crush Blaster!"

The heavy metal giant arm vibrated with a buzzing sound, its black, domineering aura swirling around its surface, unleashing a mountain-like force as it crashed down from the sky.

Rorschach grinned, clenching his massive fist as well, and with a sky-supporting momentum, he threw a punch from below at Zephyr's descending fist.

"Crush! Blaster!"

The same moves, the same momentum, fists clashing up and down like comets, as if to shatter the endless darkness.

boom!

A deafening roar exploded across the entire island, echoing far and wide across the vast, windless sea, sounding like thunder.

Two fists, one large and one small, were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, with terrifying power surging from their bodies in waves, impacting and reverberating towards each other.

The ground where Rorschach stood trembled violently, cracking open with large fissures, and the entire island shook.

He felt a sharp pain in his fist, followed by a feeling of weakness that spread throughout his body, making it impossible for him to maintain his beast-like transformation.

It's sea stone!

Zephyr's mechanical arm is mixed with a large amount of seastone ore, which was specially developed by the Navy's scientific unit as a weapon to deal with ability users.

The mechanical arm that crashed down from above, enhanced by high-level domineering aura, was like a sharp nail, piercing through Luo Xia's incredibly thick deep blue domineering aura and causing the sea stone claws to press against the surface of his fist.

In terms of sheer domineering presence, Zephyr is clearly superior to himself at this moment.

but……

"Deep Blue Armament!"

Rorschach roared, suppressing the powerlessness to undo the voice change, and unleashed his Armament Haki, blasting it towards Zephyr above.

An invisible current of air surged forth, transforming into a solid air shield, which, along with the deep blue torrent of domineering energy that surged from Rorschach's fist, slammed heavily into Zephyr's body.

With a deafening roar, crimson blood spurted from between Zefa's teeth, and his entire mechanical arm vibrated incessantly, as if it were about to be shattered by Rorschach's violent aura at any moment.

The powerful boost from the Mythical Zoan species was so great that even Marine Admiral Zephyr couldn't withstand it, and was sent flying like a rocket by Rorschach's punch.

Rorschach squatted with his legs bent, a whirlwind swirling around his body, and thick tendons taut and pulsating on his calves.

Boom!

The earth cracked open, dust billowed, and a ferocious body soared into the sky, its arms unleashing countless enormous fist shadows that rained down on the flying Zephyr like a storm.

"Smash the short-sleeved shirt!"

Zefa spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva to stop himself, opened his eyes, and simultaneously unleashed countless punches at Rorschach, who was chasing him from below, with his heavy mechanical arm and left forearm.

"Smash the short-sleeved shirt!"

Bang bang bang bang!

The relentless clash of fists was like rain pounding on banana leaves, or oil being poured over a raging fire.

The same move, but the master and apprentice produced completely different results.

The experienced Zephyr aimed every punch at Rorschach's weakest point.

His rapid-fire attacks not only contained immense power, but also formidable combat skills.

Rorschach, on the other hand, relied on his terrifying physique and overwhelming aura to unleash a punch imbued with his beliefs through sheer force.

If Rorschach were to fight Kaido, who also favors this style of combat, Kaido would undoubtedly absorb all of Rorschach's attacks and retaliate with even greater violence.

But when his opponent was Zephyr, Rorschach immediately felt a sense of disappointment, as if his punch had missed its mark.

With nowhere to vent his brute strength, he became increasingly agitated, and the speed at which he swung his arms increased.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Amid a series of explosions, the master and apprentice engaged in a violent clash, causing the air to boil and churn, with deafening roars echoing throughout the room.

Rorschach's strength was incredibly brute, but Zephyr's attacks were specifically targeting his wrist joints. The destructive power of Armament Haki continuously broke through his Haki defenses and blasted into his body, causing Rorschach's arms to go numb.

Zefa's punches and domineering aura were like nails, constantly breaking through his domineering defense.

If it weren't for his overwhelming amount of power, Zephyr's mechanical arm, crafted from seastone, would probably have touched his body again at this moment.

"Strength is not necessarily better the stronger it is. Excessive strength cannot be perfectly controlled, and one will become a slave to power. What you should seriously learn and master is how to make one part of strength have two or three parts of the striking effect."

As Rorschach continued to exchange punches, he suddenly recalled Zephyr's teachings from his time at Marineford.

Back then, because of the powerful strength of the mythical beast species and the amplification of his defense, his confidence swelled up, and he always used the idea that "one force can overcome all laws" to refute Zefa.

Zefa told him that the premise of overcoming all techniques with sheer force is that your strength is powerful enough that there is a tenfold or hundredfold difference in combat power between you and your opponent, so that you can defeat them regardless of any combat techniques.

It's like a general facing off against a lieutenant general or a major general.

It's entirely possible to crush them with a single move.

When the strength of both sides is roughly equal, combat skills and experience become the key to victory.

A true strong person should be able to overcome the strong with the weak, rather than suppress others with force.

As the fight progressed, Rorschach suddenly noticed that Zephyr's attacks carried a clear intention of guidance and refinement.

Every time Zeff hits a weak point in his Haki, Rorschach immediately activates his Haki compression to fill the gap.

His massive fist, seemingly deflected by Zephyr's attack, was actually being corrected by Zephyr to allow his punch to unleash even greater explosive power.

Feeling this, Luo Xia felt a warmth in his heart and let out a long sigh.

Amidst the thunderous roar of their clash, the two fought their way from the air to the ground, causing the earth to collapse, rocks to shatter, and houses and streets to turn to dust.

Luo Xia felt that he was controlling the power of his punches more and more exquisitely.

The use of domineering aura has become increasingly smooth and refined, and its power has grown stronger.

Just as the two were battling so fiercely that the air vibrated and roared, shattering the towering cliffs along the edge of the basin and kicking up clouds of dust, Zefa's dark eyes suddenly cleared. He let out a long howl, stomped his foot, and the ground beneath him collapsed and crumbled downwards. A terrifying force propelled him like a cannonball, shooting his heavy mechanical arm straight up the cliff face!

After a moment of stunned silence, Luo Xia thrust his right hand, crackling with electricity, into his chest. A fierce and violent aura erupted from his massive, mountain-like body. He was a step faster than Zefa, drawing a dazzling arc in the air and unleashing a storm of deep blue, domineering lightning towards the void where no enemy could be seen.

The master and disciple stopped fighting almost simultaneously and then suddenly threw punches.

"Damn Zefa! How dare you! I will send your wife, children, and students to the eternal dream hell!"

A piercing scream echoed from the void.

The next instant, the simultaneous attack from Zephyr and Rorschach shattered an invisible barrier, causing the air to explode and reveal a monster as large as a mountain behind them.

At this moment, the monster's massive body was ripped open by the blow from the master and disciple, leaving two bottomless holes in the flesh!

Chapter 361 Mythical Beast Species: Jorogumo Form

“Professor Zephyr, don’t tell me this guy is an esper.”

Above the cliff face at the edge of the basin, Rorschach shrank back to human form and stood beside Zephyr, looking up at the monster emitting a shrill scream.

This is a colossal spider, as large as a mountain, with its body covered in countless black hairs, and a height of at least 800 meters.

The black spider had the face of a woman over a hundred meters tall, and its bulging abdomen was lined with sixteen enormous eyes.

Eight segmented limbs covered with black spikes and barbs were embedded in the ground, resembling a huge, arched bridge.
