One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Why should I shut up? You disgusting things your navy does, and you won't even let people talk about them?" Rose screamed sharply, her previous coquettishness completely gone.

"What bullshit Marine hero Garp, and what bullshit Pirate King Roger!"

They claim to be protecting the order of the ocean, yet they turn around and protect those beasts who treat the world as playthings in their hands!

Rocks was slaying gods and saving the world, yet you treat him as a devil.

And that brainless bastard Shiki, I don't know what he saw in that hypocrite Roger, not only did he not kill him to avenge Rocks, but he also got imprisoned in Impel Down for Roger's sake, what a piece of trash!

As Rose spoke, she began to struggle with her massive body, seemingly trying to pull her remaining four legs out of the depths of the earth below, while the three enormous spider legs that had been hovering above also pierced down again.

"The Celestial Dragons treat billions of people like pigs and dogs, raising and slaughtering them, and your Navy turns a blind eye. I've only enslaved tens of thousands of pieces of trash, and your Navy demands that I have a conscience. It truly disgusts me!"

“Rorschach!” Zephyr shouted.

Luo Xia sat there, gripping the handle of the Heavenly Dragon Halberd, his brow furrowed.

Rose's words touched him.

He really wanted to know what exactly happened in God Valley back then, and also what happened to Rocks and the Rocks Pirates.

"But by doing this, aren't you making yourself just as disgusting as those pigs?"

The words that Rorschach uttered not only made Zephyr tremble, but also stunned the enraged and frenzied Rose, causing her violent struggles to pause.

Zephyr looked at Rorschach's rock-solid figure, recalling the incident that had occurred in the Sabaody Archipelago, and the expression in his eyes became somewhat complicated.

So that's it? The truth about that matter is...

A terrifying surge of lightning energy erupted from Luo Xia's body, flowing through the Heavenly Dragon Halberd in his hand and into Rose's brain.

A massive amount of deep blue, domineering lightning exploded within Rose's skull, which was as large as a mountain peak.

boom!

The flesh was pierced, torn, and burned into charcoal from the inside out.

"Ughhhh!" Rose screamed in agony, her massive body trembling violently, causing the ground beneath her feet to rumble and shake incessantly.

The terrifying energy was wreaking havoc within her body, unstoppable.

Zizizizi!

The chaotic lightning emanated from Rose's body, spreading and leaping across her mountain-like form, illuminating the world.

The raging thunder was rapidly draining away the immense vitality within her body.

Seemingly sensing that Rose's life was rapidly slipping away, the earth below, and the entire island floating in the calm zone, began to tremble violently.

The coastal reefs rise with a thunderous roar, and millions of tons of seawater cascade down from them, forming a massive waterfall.

The entire Insect Kingdom was buzzing and vibrating.

From a distance, one would be horrified to discover that the rock formations along the coast of this giant island are not rocks at all, but countless sharp spikes protruding from huge segments.

This enormous island, spanning tens of kilometers in circumference, is actually a spider!

A colossal water spider, several times larger than a super-sized sea king.

The entire Insect Kingdom was built on the spacious back of this water spider.

As Rose dies, the giant monster, freed from her parasitic control, gains its freedom.

It first shook its body, trying to shake off the heavy earth it carried on its back.

Upon discovering that the earth on its back seemed to have taken root and could not be shaken off, the behemoth began to dive into the deep sea in the doldrums.

Its terrifying size; just one of its legs is larger than the surrounding sea kings.

The mere act of diving triggered waves of surging tsunamis, swatting away any sea monsters that came to join the fun.

Billions of tons of seawater surged in all directions with a deafening roar, shattering the tranquility of the doldrums.

"Oh no! The island is sinking!" Standing on Rose's back, Zephyr's expression changed drastically as he watched the seawater continuously surging into the island.

Rorschach drew his Heavenly Dragon Halberd and looked down to meet Rose's wide-open eyes.

He dissipated the heavy Armament Haki covering his body, and Rose's third eye suddenly lit up, as if she had seen something. Her painful howls gradually stopped, and her three eyes stared unblinkingly at Rorschach. Suddenly, she smiled.

"Hehehe, so that's how it is? Hahaha, so that's how it is? So the whole world was just an illusion."

"Rorschach, you won't become a naval hero, hahaha, you'll become Rocks, I've already seen it..."

Rose laughed maniacally, her three eyes slowly closed, and the last light faded from them.

Her last words were uttered.

That's a person's name.

"Shiki...where are you?"

Chapter 364 The Golden Lion

As Rose's life force completely dissipated from her enormous body, the light in her three open eyes also dimmed completely.

Its enormous size, comparable to that of a large sea king, is rapidly shrinking like a deflated balloon.

Rorschach's body shrank back to human form. Looking down, he saw Rose's four spider legs, which had been embedded deep in the earth, rapidly withdrawing and retracting, revealing four bottomless holes of flesh and blood.

Zepha jumped off Rose's head and leaped towards the basin, shouting, "Don't just stand there! Without Rose's control, this giant looks like it's going to dive into the sea! Come quick and save it!"

Zefa is right.

As Rose died, the island beneath their feet began to tremble violently. Billions of tons of seawater were pouring in from one of the gradually tilting ends of the island, roaring and surging towards it, engulfing everything in their path.

But to think they could save everyone on the island was simply a pipe dream.

Besides the few hundred naval soldiers brought by their two warships, the island was also home to tens of thousands of ordinary people who were being mentally controlled by Rose, and the ground below was covered with black spider-faced creatures.

However, Rorschach's face did not show much panic, because his Observation Haki had already sensed a familiar aura rapidly approaching.

Even so, he still flashed and rushed towards the shore where the Kirin was located.

In the basin, Hibari and Law, along with other naval soldiers who had been unconscious, gradually woke up, but the vast majority of the island's native inhabitants were still asleep.

The towns outside the basin have been washed away and submerged by large amounts of seawater.

As Rorschach flew through the air, he saw many people being swept away by the seawater and sinking into the deep sea. He quickly manipulated the air to create chains of airflow that descended and bound those who were locked onto by Observation Haki, pulling them out of the roaring sea.

Ahead, at the top of the reefs—or rather, the giant spider legs that stretched for thousands of meters—the Kirin and Zefa's warships were stuck in a maze of barbed spikes, plummeting into the deep sea along with the swaying spider legs. This forced Luo Xia to once again separate a force to hook the two large ships and drag them toward his location.

Seeing the roaring curtain of water surging into the sky ahead, Rorschach's expression changed slightly, and he blurted out, "Uncle Kuzan! If you don't make a move soon, we might run into each other in the Marineford Martyrs' Cemetery!"

As he finished speaking, a surging, ultra-low-temperature cold current, like a polar ice storm, swept across the calm sea, freezing the roaring seawater rapidly into thick ice layers.

The ice sheet spread rapidly, freezing the entire sea for hundreds of kilometers around in the blink of an eye, turning it into a vast glacial land shrouded in cold air.

The island spider, which was trying to dive into the sea, stopped in its tracks. Its huge, struggling spider legs were frozen by the thick layer of ice, along with the large amount of seawater that had flooded into the island's town.

The world seemed to have been paused; the violent tremors on the island ceased, all sound vanished, leaving only wisps of rising icy mist.

Looking at the spectacular scene before him, Luo Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the slender figure made up of wisps of ice gathering on the ground not far away, Luo Xia couldn't help but smile.

"Uncle Kuzan! Thank goodness you arrived in time, otherwise we would probably all have perished at sea."

"With your abilities, you wouldn't die in a disaster of this magnitude."

Kuzan walked into the frozen town and watched Rorschach slowly descend from the sky, dragging thousands of people bound by air current chains.

“There are still tens of thousands of people on the island, and you saved them all.”

Rorschach stepped forward with a smile and gave Kuzan a big hug. "Long time no see, Uncle Kuzan."

Rorschach's enthusiasm made Kuzan a little uncomfortable. He scratched his head and said, "Oh dear, could you please find some clothes to wear? Going around like this with your bare bottom exposed is embarrassing for the Navy."

"Cough cough!"

Luo Xia's face fell.

His clothes had already been torn to shreds in the fight.

The Hulk-style shorts issued by the Navy Headquarters can accommodate the human-beast form after transformation, but they cannot possibly contain the more than sixty-meter-tall Qilin.

Although he was naked, the layer of flashing electricity, the misty air, and the deep blue armor covering his body could easily be considered a full set of clothes, which was invisible to the average person.

Only someone with powerful Observation Haki like Kuzan or Zephyr could easily see through it.

Seeing the embarrassment on Rorschach's face, Kuzan smiled, a rare occurrence, and then inquired about the situation on the island.

Luo Xia briefly explained the situation, then pointed towards the island, "Professor Zephyr is over there, and Hibari and the others are there too. You go ahead first, I'll go change my clothes."

Kuzan nodded and stepped through the frozen town, looking at the people lying haphazardly on the ground.

At this moment, the happy smiles that had been on their faces disappeared, replaced by a variety of emotions.

When he entered the basin deep within the island, the scene before him startled even the well-traveled Kuzan.

In the town square in the basin, one could see pale-faced naval soldiers, their bodies severed, their upper bodies floating in mid-air while their lower bodies remained on the ground.

Holding a long sword, Luo made a series of grabbing motions in the air with his right hand, and immediately pulled out black hairy spiders curled into balls from the severed bodies of the warriors and threw them to the ground at his feet.

In a short while, a bunch of fist-sized black hairy spiders appeared at his feet.

These soldiers were all subordinates brought by Zefa.

Hibari stood beside Luo, her face turning pale as she suppressed the nausea welling up inside her.

If Luo hadn't just said that she didn't have that kind of spider in her stomach, Yun Que would probably have vomited a lot already.

"What is this?" Kuzan approached, his face full of surprise.

"General Aokiji!"

Upon seeing Kuzan appear, the warriors, who had already been dealt with by Law using the Op-Op Fruit's power, quickly stood up straight.

"Luo said that their bodies were parasitized by these spiders. Although these spiders seemed to be dead, leaving such disgusting things in their stomachs was risky, and no one knew if they would get sick, so they had surgery on them as soon as possible."

Hibari ran up to Kuzan, looking around in confusion. "Uncle Kuzan, where's Brother Rorschach? I can't see him."

Just as Kuzan was about to answer, he saw Rorschach fly up from behind and land in front of Lark.

Seeing Luo Xia appear, Yun Que breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest with lingering fear, and said, "Brother Luo Xia, you finally showed up! What happened here? Everyone's body has been parasitized by those spiders, even Luo's body. It seems like only I am not infected."

Luo Xia glanced at the soldiers who were bent over retching, then looked at Yun Que, whose complexion wasn't very good, and decided not to tell her what had happened before.
