One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

But this one is clearly more eerie and terrifying.

"Can they recover?" Luo Xia withdrew the lightning power emanating from his body and threw the human-faced spider he was holding into the air, thousands of meters above the ground.

"I don't know. Anyway, try not to kill these little spiders. Let's take down Rose first."

As Zefa spoke, his mechanical arm, coated with advanced Armament Haki, slammed into one of Rose's large eyes on her abdomen, splattering juices everywhere from the venomous eyeball, making it look like a squashed grape.

Since killing her was out of the question, the only option was to increase the flight altitude and rush towards Rose's face.

Suddenly, Luo Xia's expression changed slightly, and he looked down.

Then came tens of thousands of human-faced spiders, like a black tide, curling up and crouching down with their eight limbs folded in half.

The synchronized movements made the black tide below appear to have suddenly sunk a bit.

But in the next instant, countless human-faced spiders shot up and leaped towards Rorschach in the sky.

Their bouncing speed is like that of giant fleas.

In an instant, thousands upon thousands of human-faced spiders appeared like dark clouds suddenly appearing in the sky, engulfing Rorschach completely.

"Grass!"

Luo Xia roared in frustration, and a terrifying storm-like aura burst forth from his body, instantly transforming into a ball of black and red energy that swept across all directions.

Since we can't directly bombard them with lightning, let's use Conqueror's Haki to clear the area!

Black and red lightning extended and shot out in the void, and the strong spiritual shock brought by Conqueror's Haki swept in all directions. The countless human-faced spiders that had been leaping up suddenly stopped their momentum towards Rorschach and then fell downwards with a rustling sound.

The gathering dark clouds disintegrated, and swarms of spiders crashed to the ground like hailstones.

Without the obstacle of these fragile little spiders, Rorschach had no more scruples. His massive body crushed the air, leaving a long sonic boom cloud in the sky, which rippled out in rings. He was like a meteorite that pierced the sky, crashing down on Rose's broad back, which was as wide as a plaza.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three earth-shattering explosions rang out, and three more of Rose's enormous spider legs, which had been embedded deep in the earth, were simultaneously pulled out, raised high, and thrust straight at Rorschach.

But Rorschach ignored it.

Although these spider legs were intimidating, they were too slow to catch up with him.

For opponents of similar strength, an excessively large size can sometimes become a hindrance in battle.

This is why Rorschach rarely uses the Qilin's beast form in battle.

Just as Rorschach's body, wreathed in terrifying lightning, was about to strike Rose's back, one of the spiders covering Rose's face suddenly shot out a thick bolt of lightning towards Rorschach.

With a crack, lightning struck Luo Xia on the forehead, startling him for a moment, but his downward momentum did not stop.

With Rose's piercing scream, Rorschach crashed to the ground. Rose's carapace shattered in large sections, and a massive amount of blood gushed out from the broken shell, only to be boiled by the high-temperature electric current. This caused Rose even more excruciating pain, and her massive body thrashed wildly, as if making the entire sky shake with her.

Rumble!

A thunderclap caused Rorschach to turn his head and see a spider-like creature crackling with electricity leap from Rose's face, its eight spider legs constantly twitching and shooting thick bolts of lightning at Rorschach.

The human face on the spider's back looked familiar.

Rorschach was taken aback. "Enel?"

Chapter 363 You Will Become Lox

Luo Xia was somewhat taken aback as he watched the human-faced spider leaping rapidly toward him.

The human face growing on the spider's back was none other than Enel's.

Thick bolts of lightning shot from the spider-faced creature, causing the deep blue aura covering Luo Xia's body to tremble, but they could not penetrate it.

In fact, even if Rorschach didn't use Armament Haki to defend himself, the lightning power on Enel's body, which wasn't mixed with Armament Haki, couldn't cause him any harm at all.

On the contrary, it will replenish his power.

However, to prevent the 'big sister' Rose, whom he was standing on, from launching any surprise attacks, Rorschach kept his imposing armor, which resembled a barrier, activated throughout the entire process.

Stepping over the charred, broken flesh and blood beneath his feet, Rorschach approached the Enel Spider that was bounding towards him. Ignoring the flashing lightning, he reached out and lifted the three-meter-long spider up.

Enel's eyes were somewhat vacant and unfocused, and he looked no different from the old man from before.

However, the degree of numbness doesn't seem to be that deep yet.

Rorschach reached out and poked his face. "Hey! Enel, wake up! What happened to you? Hey!"

Enel didn't react, stubbornly continuing to shoot lightning at Rorschach.

It's over.

Rorschach's lips curled into a smile, and he decisively slapped Enel across the face. The powerful slap knocked Enel unconscious on the spot.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned a swirling current of air to bind Enel, and then Rorschach delivered a flying kick, sending him flying hundreds of meters away into the distance.

Whoosh whoosh!

Just as he kicked Enel away, a dense swarm of spider-faced creatures shot towards him. Rorschach waved his hand again, stirring up the air currents to create invisible chains that bound all the spider-faced creatures that were attacking him, pulling them all into the air.

He held the lightning-streaked Heavenly Dragon Halberd in his right hand and stepped onto Rose's huge face, which was showing a hint of panic. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a small arc.

“I’ve been wondering since just now why you’re willing to risk injury to maintain this enormous beast form instead of reverting to human form to fight us.”

He pressed the sharp tip of the Heavenly Dragon Halberd against Rose's skin, which was covered in a dark, domineering aura, and looked at the three giant spider legs that were thrusting down from above her head.

"The sight of you releasing these little spiders, and the insect I encountered before, both remind me of the concept of parasitism. Considering that this island doesn't appear on our naval charts, I have reason to suspect that your country might actually be a mobile island. Or perhaps, a colossal sea king the size of an island."

“And you insect-type Zoan-type Devil Fruit users especially like to use parasitism to obtain power that doesn’t belong to you. So, is it possible…” Rorschach looked at Rose’s other spider legs that were still embedded deep in the earth and hadn’t been pulled out, “The reason you are so large, the reason you have maintained your beast form and haven’t turned into a human, and the reason you can control this colossal sea king beneath our feet is because you have parasitized it.”

"Shut up!" Rose screamed.

The spider legs lashed out with a whooshing sound, but Luo Xia lightly touched the ground with his feet, his body crackling with wind and lightning, and he leaped to the side, jumping more than a hundred meters away.

The next moment, three spider legs, as long as mountain peaks, pierced Rose's forehead one after the other.

The immense impact forced her massive body to crash downwards onto the ground below.

The force of its body, which was over a thousand meters tall, crashing down was almost like a mountain collapsing.

The ground within a radius of several kilometers below was smashed and collapsed.

As the ground exploded with a deafening roar, an astonishing scene unfolded.

From the cracks in the shattered ground below, endless blood gushed out like a fountain.

And as the land shattered and blood gushed forth, the entire island, the entire Chongfeng Kingdom, shook violently.

The island, spanning several kilometers in circumference, shook violently on the calm sea surface. The resulting turbulence caused the ocean, stretching for hundreds of kilometers in circumference, to tremble. This caused sea monsters, which were out hunting at night, to emerge from the water in confusion and look around.

At the same time, the waves in the sea caused by this huge tremor were also transmitted to even more distant places.

Hundreds of miles away on the sea, Aokiji, standing at the bow of a large warship, twitched his brow slightly, looked at the undulating sea below, and gazed into the dark distance, muttering, "Is it there? The anomaly that Rorschach mentioned."

Not long ago, Luo Xia contacted the Navy Headquarters to inform them of the Kirin warship's loss of contact and also gave them a general idea of ​​his location.

Upon receiving the definite news, Sengoku did not delay and immediately contacted Aokiji, instructing him to head towards the Calm Belt.

The mysterious disappearance of the territory of the Chongfeng Kingdom also made these high-ranking naval officers think of the possibility of mobile islands at sea.

After all, some creatures in this world are indeed large enough to rival the size of an island.

For example, there's the elephant-headed Zou, the cannibalistic Boin Islands, and the giant island tortoise.

These creatures are even larger than the super-large sea monsters that can reach lengths of 5,000 meters in the deep sea.

Due to their enormous size, which makes movement difficult, and their long lifespan, after thousands of years, the backs of these creatures that emerge from the water have most likely been occupied by humans or other organisms, becoming a town or even a country.

The only thing that Sengoku and his group couldn't understand was how the people of the Insect Kingdom managed to control it to leave the Red Earth Continent if the Insect Kingdom was truly a colossal creature floating on the water.

"You sail forward along the waves of the sea, and while you're at it, contact headquarters and report the situation here. I'll go check it out first."

Aokiji turned around, gave an order, and then jumped off the bow of the boat.

The moment his body touched the seawater below, a narrow ice channel appeared on the surface of the sea, rapidly spreading into the distance.

Aokiji's body shattered, turning into ice crystals that merged into the rapidly extending ice path. Using this fast-growing path, they sped towards the dark depths ahead at a speed far exceeding that of a warship.

On the land of the Insect Kingdom, Rose had a gaping, bloody hole pierced through her forehead by her own three legs.

The gushing blood stained her flawless face crimson, making her look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

The enormous impact nearly gave her a concussion; her three eyes were now blank and lifeless, and she didn't even notice that Zefa had blasted all sixteen large eyeballs in her abdomen.

After a while, when the light in Rose's three eyes returned, she felt a piercing pain coming from her forehead, and she couldn't help but let out a painful groan.

She couldn't see Rorschach standing above her, but her Observation Haki allowed her to sense that Rorschach was holding the handle of the Heavenly Dragon Halberd and had plunged the entire halberd deep into her skull.

“Now, I think we can have a proper talk, Rose.” Rorschach sat down casually, ignoring the enormous spider legs hanging down like inverted mountains above his head.

Rose's three long legs suddenly stopped a dozen meters above Rorschach's head. Feeling the terrifying energy fluctuations in her mind that seemed about to explode at any moment, Rose gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "What do you want?"

"What else can we do? Remove the power you've placed on these innocent people. You've harmed so many people all by yourself, how can you live with yourself?"

"Conscience? Hahaha, hahahaha."

Rose laughed maniacally, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, her bright red lips echoing throughout the basin.

"Conscience? You Navy people dare to talk to me about conscience? It's disgusting." Rose's three eyes were icy cold, and her tone was chilling: "Back in the Valley of the Gods, those disgusting Celestial Dragons gathered us alien races in that bloody and cruel arena, making dozens of races and tens of thousands of innocent people fight each other, just to satisfy their desires. Did they have any conscience?"

"Hmm? Valley of the Gods?" Luo Xia's expression shifted, his eyes lighting up as if he had heard something extraordinary.

Yes, the guy beneath me is a member of the Rocks Pirates and should also have participated in the God Valley Incident.

It's not surprising that they know the truth about that war that the World Government deliberately buried.

Rose stared at the dark sky with intense hatred in her eyes.

"What were you navy doing back then? Weren't you helping those swine, together harming all the races on this sea?"

This even includes you humans!

Because those swine don't consider themselves human at all; they think they are gods.

In God's eyes, all living beings are pigs and dogs. Don't presumptuously talk to me about conscience, you little naval brat.

If your navy had such a thing, you wouldn't have stopped Captain Rocks from wiping out those pigs back then.

Hehehe, you know what? That day was truly the happiest day of my life, because I saw those high and mighty gods struggling and crying out at Rocks' feet, their flesh and blood crushed into dust by Rocks!

"Shut up, Rose!"

Zephyr's deep voice rang out as he dragged his mechanical arm, stained with sticky blood, onto Rose's head.
