One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

At this moment, Luo Xia's entire body was covered in blood, with crisscrossing wounds on his skin.

Those horrific wounds, each one so deep that the bone was visible.

A broadsword was embedded in his chest, its sharp tip protruding from behind Rorschach, dripping with ruby-like drops of blood.

He stood there, his right hand gripping the halberd embedded in the ground, his other hand holding the head of the golden lion, his eyes wide open, like a javelin.

If Hibari hadn't sensed Rorschach's presence with her Observation Haki, she would have almost thought he was dead.

With red eyes, Yun Que stepped forward and gently wiped the blood off Luo Xia's face.

"Brother Luo Xia, are you an idiot? Why do you always end up like this? Can't you take better care of your body?"

"Time and time again, like an idiot, like... Dad. Why are the people I love like this? Do you know how worried this makes me?"

Yun Que's hands were stained red with the blood on Luo Xia's face. She bit her lip, and tears fell like a kite with a broken string.

She opened her arms and gently embraced the unconscious Rorschach. Her body transformed into a swirling cloud of mist, softly lifting Rorschach away from the crashing island of Vermeer.

Deep within the island below, a colossal azure dragon, its body hundreds of meters long, soared into the sky, carrying away a pterosaur that flapped its wings.

Below the Azure Dragon, Akainu, covered in blood, wanted to pursue him by leaping into the air, but was stopped by Sengoku.

"No need to chase Sakazuki! Let him go! Our mission now is to stop these islands from falling!"

With a furrowed brow and a worried expression, Zhan Guo watched the islands falling from the sky. Golden shockwaves erupted from beneath his feet, and he was the first to rise from the ground, rushing towards the nearest island.

Although he had anticipated the various consequences that the death of the Golden Lion might have, the current situation still far exceeded his expectations.

A quick glance across the sky reveals a total of thirty-one islands of varying sizes, all falling.

Among these islands, the largest is Vermeu Island, where Rorschach and the Golden Lion fought. It has a diameter of over 15 kilometers and is larger than G1 Island. Although two parts of it have separated from the main body, its size is still enormous.

He dared not even imagine the terrible disaster that such a massive island would cause if it fell into the sea from tens of thousands of meters in the air.

Tsunamis, storms, earthquakes, and even the end of the world are all possibilities.

Not to mention that besides Wilméyo Island, there are thirty other islands of varying sizes.

If it weren't for Rorschach interrupting the Golden Lion earlier, causing the island of Wilmeyou, which should have crashed directly down, to hover several thousand meters above the sea surface, thus cushioning the impact.

In subsequent battles, the island was gradually lowered to a height of a thousand meters above the sea.

G1 is probably already swallowed up by the endless sea.

Faced with such an apocalyptic disaster, he no longer cared about Kaido leaving.

The immediate priority is to keep warships as far away from the center of the impact as possible, and then concentrate the navy's high-end combat power to destroy the island.

It doesn't need to be smashed to pieces; just break these overly large islands into smaller sections to avoid causing too much impact.

The only good news is that, perhaps due to Shiki's Float-Float Fruit ability, the islands he lifted into the sky are not falling as fast as meteors.

Unless they are personally guided by the living Golden Lion's control abilities, these islands will fall at a speed only slightly faster than when they were first sent into the sky by the Golden Lion.

This gave them about ten minutes to evacuate G1.

That is precisely why the Warring States period was not allowed to completely give up hope of preventing the disaster from happening.

Even so, the Warring States period was still in a state of utter chaos.

These islands are far apart from each other, covering an area of ​​over 100 kilometers in radius of the G1 sea area.

Even if they could destroy all the islands, there wouldn't be enough time.

Therefore, the naval commanders, led by Vice Admiral Tsuru, quickly retreated from G1 Island with the wounded soldiers, speeding away into the distant sea.

Meanwhile, Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, and the others took to the air and rushed towards Vermeer, which was the closest island and partially overlapped with G1 Island.

This island is too big; it cannot be destroyed by one person in a short time.

"Just crack it! This island is too close to the sea, there's no time to waste!"

Karp grabbed a handful of glass test tubes, put them to his mouth, and snapped them in half with a crack, swallowing the concentrated nutrient paste inside, along with some glass shards.

"Life returned!"

He took a deep breath, his whole body swelled up, his skin became hot and red, white steam rose from his mouth, he clenched his fist with black lightning and flashed, and stepped on the sonic boom cloud, arriving above the island of Wilmaeu with Sengoku, Zephyr and the others.

Before they could even throw a punch, they saw the cracks on the island's ground, resembling great rift valleys, and holes hundreds or thousands of meters in diameter.

The earth was ravaged, as if it had been struck by a meteor shower.

Clearly, this is the damage caused by the battle between Golden Lion and Rorschach.

Without the slightest hesitation, the six of them simultaneously unleashed their strongest attacks, slamming them onto the already cracked island of Wilmeyou.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

With a deafening explosion, the island of Vermeer, which was more than ten kilometers in diameter, was smashed into pieces by the six people and fell into the sea to the right of G1.

Even if it were to break into pieces, each fragment of the island would be several kilometers in size.

Sengoku and Garp wanted to break some more, but there wasn't enough time.

The shattered island crashed into the sea amidst a deafening tremor, instantly creating waves hundreds of meters high.

The entire sea was tilting and undulating.

Billions of tons of seawater were pushed aside by the fragments of the island, roaring and crashing in all directions.

The first to be affected is the nearest island, G1.

A fragment from the island of Vermeeryo struck the ground, which was over a thousand meters wide on the right side, causing the entire island to tremble violently and sending up plumes of dust like a long dragon.

A massive amount of seawater poured in from outside the island, instantly submerging the entire G1 Plaza and the shattered fortress, turning it into a vast ocean.

Amidst the roaring waves, one can still see massive ice floes, masterpieces created when Kuzan froze the sea.

Not only ice floes, but also enormous sea monsters were swept ashore on G1 Island by hundreds of millions of tons of seawater.

These sea monsters, which can reach lengths of hundreds or thousands of meters, are usually the absolute rulers of the deep sea.

But at this moment, in the face of this world-destroying, raging wave, it is nothing more than a fragile duckweed, at the mercy of the roaring giant wave.

The raging waves carry them as they crash onto the sea or onto islands, instantly shattering the flesh and blood of these enormous creatures into a bloody flower in the endless sea.

Even the most powerful life forms are incredibly small in the face of nature.

No one knew that the impact of the falling, fragmented island of Vermeeru alone nearly destroyed Fishman Island, thousands of meters below in the vast ocean, due to the rupture of the bubble membrane that envelops the island.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of several colossal sea kings that blocked the sinking island fragments, the Ryugu Kingdom, which had existed for thousands of years, would probably have vanished like a broken bubble in the catastrophe at the end of 1517, becoming the first kingdom to be affected and destroyed in this battlefield.

"Accelerate! Accelerate!" Bepo roared at the top of his lungs on the deck of the Kirin.

"I'm accelerating!! I have faith in Rear Admiral Luo Xia's warship, I have faith in the Kirin! We will definitely break through!"

With his arms bulging with muscles, Palmer took control of the rudder and sped away from G1.

More than three thousand naval soldiers were crammed onto the deck of the Kirin.

They were among the last group of people evacuated from G1 Island.

Because the Kirin happened to be parked on the edge of the island, the group pushed it into the sea and boarded the hundred-meter-long warship.

Fortunately, because the entire Kirin was made of sturdy Adam wood, the ship was not destroyed in this fierce battle.

Although the ship's mast was broken, the retractable steam turbines on both sides were intact and still in normal working order.

The original crew of the Kirin immediately took over and quickly fled the center of the disaster.

The blowers at the stern of the warship were all opened, and the boilers in the engine room were burning brightly by the soldiers.

Even without sails, relying on wind power and the rolling outer wheels, the Kirin's escape speed far exceeded that of some ordinary warships.

"It's coming! The tsunami is coming!" Clinging tightly to the broken mast at the stern railing, Bepo watched the towering waves crashing down like a roaring beast, his small eyes filled with terror. He screamed, "Hurry! The tsunami is catching up!"

Palmer firmly steadied the Kirin's course, gritting his teeth and roaring, "We've reached our speed limit! Think of something else!"

Bepo, covered in sweat, clutched his bear-like face and screamed, "What else can we do? This is a tsunami! I'm not a major general!"

"Make way! Let us have it!"

Just then, a dozen people shouted in unison from behind.

Bepo quickly turned his head and saw more than a dozen blood-soaked lieutenant generals from headquarters standing side by side on the stern railing of the Kirin, slashing their weapons at the surging, overwhelming tsunami.

More than a dozen slashes and impacts blasted out simultaneously, crashing into the raging waves that were hundreds of meters high and resembled rolling mountains.

"boom!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, a giant wave burst forth, cascading down and pouring large swaths of seawater onto the deck of the Kirin.

The powerful impact of those tidal waves caused many marines to break bones and spit blood.

Some people were even crushed to death on the spot.

Another strange fish, several tens of meters long, was swept up by the raging waves and crashed into the sea, grazing the side of the Qilin and smashing that section of the ship's hull and deck to pieces.

Hundreds of marines, huddled together, were swept into the turbulent depths of the sea.

"Grab it! Everyone grab the warship, grab your comrades!" Luo opened his right hand, and a surgical space appeared out of thin air, covering the hundreds of marines who had fallen into the deep sea.

"ROOM! The baton!"

With a flick of his finger, the warriors who had already resigned themselves to certain death and fallen into the deep sea were suddenly teleported onto the deck and into the crowd.

At the stern, the flying squirrel, Onigumo, and the others shattered the pursuing tsunami, but were also sent flying by the powerful recoil, crashing into the bulkhead of the captain's cabin and shattering it.

The Kirin's speed increased dramatically as a result, instantly overtaking several ordinary warships beside it and sailing further away.

The sailors on the Kirin were filled with mixed emotions upon seeing this.

They were overjoyed to have survived the devastating tsunami, yet deeply saddened that their comrades could not escape.

"Boom!"

The towering waves crashed down, instantly smashing several warships that couldn't escape in time. The desperate naval soldiers on board were swept into the deep sea by the massive amount of water.

Some people were killed instantly by the seawater, while others were knocked unconscious and drowned after falling into the deep sea.

Faced with the might of nature, even the most elite naval warriors are insignificant and powerless.

This terrifying divine power was caused by a dead man.

Watching the smaller warships around them being mercilessly swallowed up one by one by the towering tsunami, many sailors and officers on the deck of the Kirin had red eyes and shed tears.

"Now I finally understand why Major General Luo Xia fought and trained so desperately."
