One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

The golden lion, lying on its back in the deep pit, gradually curled up its lips, revealing bloody gums, and slowly floated up from the pit.

"Heh heh heh heh! Rorschach, is that you?"

"I approve of you!"

He reached out and grabbed the half of the ship's rudder above his head, gritted his teeth, glared with bloodshot eyes, and pulled it outwards with all his might!

"Crack!"

With a cracking sound of bones breaking, the rudder, half of which was deeply embedded in the golden lion's skull, was ruthlessly pulled out and thrown to the ground.

At the opening of the skull was a shockingly large dent.

As the golden lion pulled out the half of the ship's rudder, an even more terrifying and explosive aura surged from his body.

Two storm-like surges of Conqueror's Haki swept down from thousands of meters above, engulfing the sea surface of the G1 area below.

Whether they were marines or pirates, they all fell down like wheat being harvested under the impact of these two terrifying Conqueror's Haki.

The ice was cracked, and the seawater was churning.

The war on G1 Island is nearing its end.

At this moment, countless eyes turned to the enormous island suspended high in the sky.

On the island, Sengoku, Zephyr, Garp, Kuma, and in the distance, Whitebeard and Shanks all silently looked up at the sky.

"Should I go help him? After all, his opponent is Shiki the Golden Lion." Kizaru, unusually, didn't speak in a strange tone and looked at Sengoku very seriously.

Sengoku, Zephyr, Garp, and the others remained silent.

"Need not!"

Suddenly, a clear voice rang in everyone's ears, startling them all.

Looking back, he saw Hibari, who was holding Zeus the thundercloud, descend from the sky and land lightly in front of Sengoku, saying very seriously:

"Brother Luo Xia will win, I firmly believe it!"

Chapter 408 The Fall of a Legend

Crimson mist continuously seeped from Luo Xia's body, transforming him, already covered in blood, into a ferocious and terrifying crimson demon.

With a flick of its long crocodile tail, two thick, curved unicorn claws smashed through the hard rock layers inside the mountain. Its massive body, trailing a long trail of bloody mist, crashed head-on into the golden lion that was charging through the air.

Facing Rorschach, who charged at him like a blood-red meteor, the Golden Lion raised his right hand, which was holding a longsword.

"Lion's Might! Earth Sweep!"

"Boom!"

The earth below surged and churned, sending up hundreds of meters of earthen waves, like a blanket being pulled back, crashing down on Luo Xia.

Facing the overwhelming wave of earth, Rorschach charged forward without hesitation, smashing headfirst into the thick layer of earth, creating a huge hole, and rushed to the Golden Lion, delivering a powerful punch.

As the enormous fist hurtled towards him, the Golden Lion remained unfazed, his longsword, imbued with the power of Tyrant Thunder, sweeping across the room with a single strike.

"puff!"

The thick, deep blue, imposing armor covering Rorschach's body was cut open, revealing another deep, bone-revealing slash on his body.

Then, the Golden Lion heard the Conqueror's Haki-infused slash strike, as if it had struck some kind of heavy metal, producing a dull, clanging sound.

At this moment, even the slow-witted Golden Lion understood that what blocked his Overlord's Entangling Slash was the skeleton within Rorschach's body.

Rorschach's bones were incredibly hard, able to withstand even his Overlord's Entangling Slash. This incredible physical talent reminded Golden Lion of Charlotte Linlin.

That woman's skin was naturally hardened to the point of being comparable to Armament Haki hardening; it was a top-tier physical talent in the world.

Even Rocks himself had a very high opinion of her.

It is believed that if that crazy woman had not gone mad due to her childhood experiences and started having children without restraint, but instead had diligently trained and honed her domineering aura and abilities, she would have surpassed Newgate and his Golden Lion to become the strongest human.

"boom!"

The deafening explosion of the air jolted the Golden Lion from his wandering thoughts, and then his vision was filled by a huge fist.

"Oh!"

A giant, azure fist, larger than half his body, slammed down, and the golden lion coughed up blood, flying backward like a cannonball.

"call!"

While flying backwards, the golden lion's body flipped in mid-air, and a sword slashed out from beneath him, aiming at Rorschach who was in hot pursuit.

"laugh!"

Blood erupted on Luo Xia's massive, mountain-like body, but he completely ignored it, as if he couldn't feel the excruciating pain of being slashed. Like a machine, he raised his thick, massive arm and brought it down.

"Clang!"

The longsword swept across the sky, deflecting the descending giant fist. The golden lion's eyes narrowed, and his left hand, wielding the withered wood sword, suddenly thrust forward, aiming for Luo Xia's heart.

"Since I can't sever your body, I'll pierce your heart."

The whistling sword energy pierced through the air, emitting a sharp, howling sound.

Luo Xia raised his left hand, the Qilin Claw, to protect himself, while his thick, curved right leg swept across the air.

"Storm Kick! Void Rift!"

A massive slash came hurtling through the air, sweeping across the waist and forcing the Golden Lion to retract his thrusting sword to block in front of him.

Amidst a deafening explosion, Rorschach's massive body nimbly flipped through the air, head down and feet up, extending its enormous Qilin claws in an attempt to grab the Golden Lion's legs and tear him in two.

Just as the Golden Lion was about to unleash his twin swords, the sky above him suddenly darkened, leaving him momentarily stunned.

"what?"

As he looked up, he saw a ferocious crocodile tail covered in thick scales and bone spurs slap down from the sky, striking his face.

This sudden attack caught Golden Lion, who had been on guard against Rorschach's punches and kicks, off guard.

The enormous tail slammed down so fast, exceeding several times the speed of sound, that he, at such close range, had no way to stop it.

Then, with a muffled thud, the golden lion was whipped by the wide tail and plummeted into the depths of the earth in Vermeer like a meteorite.

A wide, bloody mark was left on his old face and chest.

The sharp bone spurs and scales on his tail pierced his skin and muscles, leaving more than a dozen shocking, bloody holes in his body.

Fresh blood gushed out like a fountain.

The earth shattered, and Rorschach fell with it, his right fist clenched, the muscles on his massive arm coiling like a dragon, as he slammed his fist down.

With his mind somewhat hazy, the Golden Lion mumbled incoherently and unleashed a sword strike.

"Shh!"

A massive slash, hundreds of meters long, roared out and cut towards Rorschach, who was lunging down.

However, Rorschach ignored it, allowing the massive crescent-shaped slash to cut another deep, bone-revealing gash on his body. A punch, crackling with lightning and domineering aura, slammed heavily into the Golden Lion.

"Boom!"

With a powerful punch, it was as if hundreds of tons of high explosives exploded simultaneously on the Golden Lion's chest. Centered on the spot where his body was, the huge floating island of Vermeeru shook violently, and the earth cracked like a spider web.

Countless huge rocks crashed down from the bottom of the island, smashing the seawater and the island below, causing waves to splash and rocks to fly everywhere.

The golden lion gritted its teeth, and blood kept gushing out from between its teeth, from its nostrils, and from the wounds and pores all over its body.

He felt as if his body was about to be blown apart by Rorschach's punch.

His physical strength was being rapidly depleted, and his domineering aura was also constantly diminishing.

A feeling of weakness he had never experienced before washed over him.

Looking at Luo Xia's face so close to his, the Golden Lion's confused and muddled mind suddenly conjured up the face of another man.

"Roger..."

He shook his groggy head, his bloodshot eyes suddenly widened, and a hoarse roar came from deep in his throat.

"Roger! Do you really want to kill me? In this world, only you are worthy of my attention. Why not accept my invitation and join me in ruling this world with overwhelming force!"

"If you and I join forces, we can absolutely surpass Rocks, accomplish the unparalleled feat that even he couldn't achieve, drive the Celestial Dragons out of Mary Geoise, and become the kings of the world!"

With strength from who knows where, the Golden Lion roared and broke free from Luo Xia's massive arm that was pressing down on him. He thrust his sword out and stabbed it into Luo Xia's chest with a soft thud.

The sharp tip of the sword pierced through Rorschach's back, drawing out a spray of blood.

Rorschach's eyes were bloodshot. He raised his large foot and stomped down hard, stepping on the golden lion's face and burying his head into the ground.

The Great Sword Sakura-ju, which Golden Lion held in his right hand, was stuck in his chest, and his large hand was outstretched in front of him.

"Zizzizi!"

Lightning crackled in his palm as a heavy halberd flew out of nowhere and landed in his hand. He gripped it tightly and plunged it into the golden lion's heart.

"puff!"

Blood spurted out.

The golden lion, its domineering aura greatly diminished, could no longer withstand the tip of the Heavenly Dragon Halberd. Its heart was pierced by the black halberd, and it was pinned to the ground.

Luo Xia raised his large foot, exerted force with his right hand, pulled out the blood-stained Heavenly Dragon Halberd, gripped it with both hands, and slashed fiercely at the Golden Lion's neck.

"boom!"

The earth roared as the heavy halberd cleaved through the rocks, carving a massive fissure more than ten kilometers long into the ground.

The massive island of Vermeer began to tilt, a small portion of the island broke off, and it plunged downwards, carrying with it countless slumbering beasts.

Rorschach, his entire body crimson, steaming with blood-red mist like a red-hot iron, looked up at the sky and saw the golden lion with its mane and whiskers bristling, its long golden hair dancing wildly in the wind, and a large, transparent hole torn open in its chest.

His heart had already been shattered by Rorschach's attack.

But he was still alive.

Not only did he not die, but a terrifying aura, as explosive as a storm, rose endlessly from his body.

Large amounts of blood flowed from his body, and the golden lion's body began to turn hot and red, spewing out large amounts of steam.

His face turned a sickly flush, and his life force was rising rapidly, like a candle that had been suddenly blown on and was burning wildly at ten times the speed.

As his life force rapidly increased, huge black shadows began to appear in the sky above his head.
