One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Deal. I'll have Enel come over tomorrow."

Rorschach smiled and extended his hand.

In the New World, off the coast of Sphinx Island, the Moby Dick, shaped like a giant beluga whale, lay quietly at anchor.

On the deck, the main officers of the Whitebeard Pirates leaned against the ship's side with cheerful smiles, looking towards the captain's cabin as if waiting for something.

"How many times is this?" Diamond Jozu, the third division captain with a burly build resembling a small mountain, grinned and asked in a deep voice, seemingly out of nowhere.

“I remember it was the 77th time,” Sachi said with a smile, his mouth full of a chicken leg.

"No, isn't it the 78th time? You guys forgot about this morning?" Vista, the foil swordsman, didn't even look up while wiping his beloved sword.

"In short, there will be one more time soon."

Marco, with his pineapple-headed hair, was crouching on the ship's railing. Before he could finish speaking, everyone heard a muffled groan coming from the captain's cabin.

Then a muffled explosion followed, and immediately a giant axe blade, broken in half, spun and whistled out of the captain's cabin, flying past everyone's eyes in a flash.

The next moment, a figure with blood spurting from between his teeth flew backward, his back slamming heavily against the thick ship's side.

With a series of cracking sounds, the gunwale of the Moby Dick, which was directly opposite the captain's cabin door, exploded with a deafening roar. A large amount of wood fibers burst apart, and the flying figure was thrown out at an angle, crashing into the sea with a splash.

"Oh dear, we have to repair the ship again, hahaha." Titch laughed loudly.

"Stop laughing! Someone come and get him out of the water! That kid's a Devil Fruit user, he'll drown if we're too late!" Marco shouted.

"I'll do it. I like this persistent young man."

Sachi handed the kitchen knife from his waist to the pirate beside him, smiled, walked to the ship's side, and leaped into the sea.

Just then, Marco, who was crouching on the ship's side, suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked up sharply at the sky.

"What is that? It smells like a wild beast."

High above, in the sky, a tiny, almost imperceptible black dot appeared and gradually grew larger.

After a dozen seconds, the other squad leaders on the Moby Dick also frowned and looked up at the sky.

Vista's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He licked his lips, feeling the twin swords in his hands trembling with excitement.

"It's not the aura of a ferocious beast, but the aura of a swordsman. Could it be Hawkeye Mihawk?"

"no!"

Marco's pupils contracted sharply, and blue flames rapidly erupted from his body. With a whoosh, he sprang from his crouching position, his arms spreading out to become burning blue flame wings, carrying him into the air as he flew towards the ever-growing black dot.

Gradually, everything became clear: it was a man with a full head of blond hair, half a ship's wheel stuck in his head, a burning cigar in his mouth, and two broadswords on his legs.

"It's...it's the Golden Lion!"

Lacjou exclaimed in surprise.

"Golden Lion! What are you doing here? Stop right now! The Moby Dick is not a place for you to run wild!" Marco's expression immediately turned ugly as he sensed the fighting spirit emanating from the Golden Lion.

"Hehehe, of course I've come to visit my old friend, Pineapple-headed brat. It's been over a decade, and your strength has grown rather slowly."

The golden lion grinned, and the great swords Sakura-ju and Kumoki on its legs swiftly slashed through the air, instantly unleashing dozens of massive slashes, each tens of meters long, at Marco, who was flying downwards.

"Let me see what kind of scum Newgate has taken in as his sons all these years."

"Damn it! You're not allowed to insult your father!"

Marco's face contorted with rage as he unleashed a massive upward slash with his right leg. Blue flames spread across his leg, transforming it into a bird's claw, wreathed in flowing Haki. With a single kick, he shattered the incoming slash in mid-air.

"Phoenix! Phoenix Seal!"

However, the Golden Lion unleashed too many slashes, each carrying a terrifying power capable of tearing the sky apart, sweeping across the land. Even with Marco's best efforts to intercept them, he only managed to block a dozen or so giant slashes.

"Prepare for the enemy!"

Vista stomped his foot, creating a dent in the deck, and with excitement in his eyes, he swung his twin swords.

"I've wanted to fight you for a long time, the greatest swordsman of the old era, Golden Lion! Rose Dance!"

Whoosh whoosh!

The thick sword light pierced the air and transformed into beautiful rose petals, their beauty filled with endless killing intent. They collided with the golden lion's strike in mid-air, producing a deafening explosion.

The other squad leaders also made their moves, blasting them into the sky one by one before the slashes could arrive.

"Hehehehe, you're quite capable, then try this move." The Golden Lion raised his right leg high, and under Marco's changing gaze, a powerful high-level Haki flowed on the blade of the Great Grade Sword Sakura 10, and he slashed downwards.

"Slash Wave!"

Swish!

A sword light over a thousand meters long, like a dazzling aurora suddenly blooming between heaven and earth, slashed through Marco's waist with unparalleled force, breaking through Vista's sword move, carrying the power to tear everything apart, as if it wanted to split the Moby Dick in two.

The terrifyingly sharp aura caused the pirates on the deck of the Moby Dick to change their expressions.

Amidst the chaotic crowd, the towering Joz suddenly stepped forward, his massive body radiating a dazzling light that instantly transformed him into a glittering diamond!

"Shining Collision!"

The massive pirate ship suddenly sank downwards, and Jozu roared as he soared into the sky, his entire body like a cannonball hurtling straight into the thousand-meter-long slashing wave, like a moth drawn to a flame.

boom!

The terrifying sword light landed on Joz's head like a heavy mountain crashing down on him, causing his body, which had been soaring into the sky, to plummet dozens of meters.

"Drink it! Get out of my way!"

Jozu roared, stretching out his thick arm to grab the massive slashing wave that was coming down from the Golden Lion. He caught the thousand-meter-long slash and threw it over the Moby Dick.

A massive arc of light slashed down from the sky, and the violent shockwave it created just as it brushed past them terrified many pirates on the deck, turning their faces ashen.

Swish!

The sea cracked open beside the ship, revealing a deep chasm that stretched for tens of kilometers.

"Damn Golden Lion! Does this bastard really want to destroy the Moby Dick? Captains, take him down! He's just a washed-up old pirate, yet he dares to mess with us."

In the crowd, one of the pirates uttered a sentence that made Shiki's face turn cold. He kicked out with his right foot, slashing away Vista who was rushing towards him, and exhaled a long, dragon-like plume of smoke from his mouth.

"Newgate's son, he really dares to talk back, hehehehe!"

"Newgate!"

"How long are you going to keep playing this pirate make-believe game?"

He grinned, raised his right hand above his head, and suddenly clenched his outstretched fingers as if he had grabbed something and pulled it down sharply!

Rumble!

The entire world trembled and shook violently with his pull, and the air spread out in all directions like boiling water.

Ten thousand meters above the sea, a thick, dark shadow loomed larger and larger in Marco's and the others' eyes!

A bead of cold sweat dripped from Marco's forehead.

Suddenly, a towering figure stepped out of the captain's cabin and looked up at the sky.

"Gurararara, Shiki, are you tired of living?"

Chapter 374 Get the Navy Out of the New World

"What...what is that? A dark cloud?"

All the pirates on the Moby Dick looked up at the sky, watching the huge black shadow that kept growing larger at the edge of their vision.

This time, even Marco, Joz, and Vista broke out in a cold sweat.

Diqi's throat bobbed, and he couldn't help but swallow.

"Hahaha, what a reckless old man! Is he trying to destroy the world?"

The air currents between heaven and earth grew increasingly rapid, and the sea surface within a radius of tens of kilometers was violently undulating, causing the Moby Dick to rock constantly on the sea.

When the enormous black shadow above was fully revealed, casting a huge shadow over the sea for tens of kilometers, more than a dozen pirates on the deck immediately lost their balance and collapsed to the ground in fright.

"An island...an island, not a dark cloud, but an island, an island!"

Golden Lion grinned, a cigar between his fingers, and looked at Whitebeard, who had just emerged from the captain's cabin. "Newgate, I want to discuss something with you. But before that, let me see how much of your strength you still have left."

As he spoke, amidst the shocked, terrified, and desperate gazes of everyone, he shifted to the side, allowing the small island, thousands of meters in diameter, above him to crash down upon the Moby Dick below.

In an instant, the island fell, the void trembled and hummed, the air was compressed, and the resulting air pressure pushed the seawater on the surface where the Moby Dick was located apart, forming a huge basin in the sea with a radius of several kilometers.

Clang!

Clang!

The crisp sound of metal hitting the deck startled the pirates, who were immersed in fear and despair, and they all turned around.

Whitebeard's face remained impassive, as if even Mount Tai were collapsing before him. With a smile on his lips, he leaned on his massive pheasant sword and walked to the very bottom of the island that had fallen from the sky.

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

The pirates seemed to have found their pillar of support, and they instantly felt at ease, looking at Whitebeard with fanatical eyes as he slowly bent his arm and made an elbow strike.

Yes!

As long as their father is around, no matter what difficulties they face or how powerful the enemies are, none of them can be a match for the Whitebeard Pirates.

Because their father is Whitebeard! He's the strongest man in the world!

"Gurarara! Shiki, the Moby Dick doesn't welcome you. Why don't you just stay on your sky island and wait to die?"

The white-bearded man bent his thick right arm, clenched his right fist, and punched the void above him.

boom!

With a crisp sound of shattering glass, the void struck by Whitebeard's right fist showed clearly visible cracks in the atmosphere.

Tiny cracks continued to expand and spread, like a spider web, instantly reaching the sky within a radius of hundreds of meters.

The entire sky above everyone's heads seemed unable to withstand Whitebeard's punch, as if it had been shattered by him.

As he watched the atmosphere and void rapidly crack open below, the golden lion's smile grew ever wider.
