One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Is it mind control? I've never heard of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user developing this kind of mental power!"

The three of them ran wildly toward the end of the long street, trying their best to lure the large white ball rolling toward them to a deserted place.

Rumble!

The giant spherical worm, taller than a house, seemed to shake the entire royal city as it rolled.

Wherever it passed, all the buildings were crushed.

"It's about to be caught! We have to stop it! Luo! Get me to its side!"

Rorschach shouted.

"ROOM!"

Luo spread his five fingers wide, and a transparent wave of air swirled and spread out.

Swish!

Rorschach's figure suddenly disappeared as he ran.

As the giant, rolling worm rolled in mid-air, Rorschach's figure appeared in a flash.

Bang!

He stepped into the void with his left foot, his right leg muscles bounced, stirring up the air, and swept his leg out at the rolling giant worm from a distance.

"Storm Kick!"

The calf twitched, creating a powerful slash that traced a two- to three-meter-long wave in mid-air, resembling a swordsman's strike and exuding a fierce aura.

The slash from the storm kick shot straight out and hit the rolling white insect body directly.

The giant worm's body was covered in layers of fleshy folds that bulged, like the rise and fall of its belly as it breathed.

Luo Xia's Tempest Kick slash was actually deflected with a bang, exploding into a shockwave in the air.

"This monster's hide is too thick. Without weapons, how can we break through its defenses?"

Looking at his empty hands, Luo couldn't think of a solution for a moment.

In mid-air, seeing that Lan's kick was ineffective, Luo Xia gritted his teeth and his muscular body swelled up again.

"Life returned!"

His right foot whipped through the air again, and he kicked out.

"Storm Kick - Wind Slash!"

boom!

The air beneath his feet seemed to explode, sending up a shockwave.

Then, a dazzling slash, several times larger than before, burst forth from his right leg.

puff!

This time, the tough membrane on the rolling giant worm could not stop it, and Luo Xia's storm kick tore a long gash in it.

Not only that, the giant insect's massive body was also momentarily stunned by the force of this kick.

"It worked!"

Luo's eyes lit up.

Hawkins shook his head slightly: "It's too big, the effect won't be obvious. Besides, his physical strength is obviously overexerted."

As soon as Hawkins finished speaking, Rorschach fell from the air, his body deflating and shrinking back to its original size.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

Boom!

Luo Xia had barely landed and hadn't even regained his balance when he was hit on the head.

He instinctively swung his hand to grab what was coming at him and took a look.

"Huh? Apple? Who's being so kind?"

Luo Xia was taken aback at first, then delighted. He wiped the dust off the apple and stuffed it whole into his mouth.

Click, click.

He chewed with relish.

But when he looked in the direction from which the apple had been thrown, the scene before him completely stunned him.

Along the broken streets, dozens or even hundreds of royal city residents surged forward like a tide, hurling various objects at him.

The residents' faces were contorted with bulging veins, their eyes were bloodshot, and their expressions were ferocious and terrifying.

Rorschach was so horrified by what he saw that he forgot to chew.

"Zombie...zombie!"

A bunch of random things came crashing down from the sky, landing around him with a clatter.

Some of them also hit his body.

Among these items were hardened bread, a kitchen knife, a rolling pin, slippers, and a short-handled flintlock pistol.

"Get out of here! Are you all crazy?"

Drake, who was chasing after them, was also entangled by the dark mass of people. In order to avoid hurting these vulnerable residents, he had to deactivate his Allosaurus transformation, use Moonwalk to fly into the air.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the crowd.

Just as Drake leaped into the air, a spray of blood splattered from his chest.

He let out a cry of pain and fell from the sky.

A huge, dark crowd immediately surged forward, engulfing him completely, like zombies unleashed from their cages.

"Damn it! There are pirates hiding in the crowd!"

Luo Xia's face was extremely ugly.

The strange behavior of these royal city residents suggests that they are being controlled by someone with bizarre abilities.

He reached out and grabbed a piece of black bread that flew towards him, stuffed it into his mouth, and crunched away as he ran, knocking aside the swarming residents.

When he encountered frail elderly, weak, women, or children, he would leap into the air to avoid them.

Bang bang bang.

Those who tried to block his way were knocked over one by one.

Rorschach charged forward, leaped to the side of the fallen Drake, grabbed one of his legs, and dragged him away.

At this moment, Drake's clothes had been torn to shreds by the zombie-like citizens of the royal city.

His body was also scratched and bitten, leaving many red marks.

To Rorschach's slight twitch, he noticed a very conspicuous lipstick mark on Drake's face.

Drake did not disappoint him, a blush appearing on his face.

"Why are you blushing like a teapot?! Do you even understand the situation, you idiot?!"

Luo Xia was speechless. He grabbed one of his legs and ran headlong toward where Luo and Hawkins were.

Just then, the footsteps of Luo and Hawkins could be heard from ahead.

When Luo Xia looked up, he saw that behind the two people opposite him, there was also a large, dark crowd.

"Damn it! These guys have been mind-controlled by that guy's bugs! Run that way! To the palace!"

Luo pointed towards the towering palace in the distance.

"How do you know that the insects are controlling them?"

"Rorschach asked loudly."

"Is this the time to ask that?!"

Enraged, Luo used his ability to teleport a crazed teenager who was chasing after him to his side.

A spherical halo enveloped his hand and actually pierced directly into the boy's head, rummaging around inside for a while before a white worm appeared in his hand.

Luo pinched the insect between his fingers and crushed it.

Then Rorschach and Drake saw the boy Rorschach had grabbed suddenly go limp and fall to the ground.

That's how I found out!

The four reunited and entered the central street, running wildly towards the palace.

Just then, the giant white insect that had been flung from afar charged toward them again!

Chapter 52, Act Two: Explosion [Please add to your favorites 1/3]

As they got closer, the four of them saw countless tiny insects falling from the giant white worm.

The dense swarm of tiny insects crawled in all directions, burrowing into the bodies of every creature they came into contact with, and then controlling them to surround and block the four of them!

As the small insects shed their skins, the giant insects shrank in size.

With a rumble, the ground trembled, and the giant white worm opened its mouth wide, its serrated teeth cutting through the ground, quickly creating a large hole, into which it burrowed its body.

Luo Xia and his companions saw the ground around them constantly rising and cracking, rapidly approaching them.

Drake's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he couldn't help but scream:

Why is it faster underground than on the surface?

"Who knows! Why don't you go ask him yourself, click click."

Rorschach roared.

Luo turned to look at him in astonishment.

Drake was also taken aback.

Even Hawkins' cheek twitched, and he looked over.

Luo Xia was a little confused: "Why are you all looking at me? Click, click."
