One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Instead of directly developing the brain to make someone incredibly intelligent and omnipotent, as depicted in the science fiction movie Lucy.

In other words, as long as one has enough knowledge and books, anyone with the Brain-Brain Fruit ability can become Vegapunk.

In other words, it was the Brain-Brain Fruit that made Vegapunk who he was, rather than Vegapunk being that powerful to begin with.

Furthermore, the so-called technology that is 500 years ahead of the current world actually comes from 800 years ago...

Also, what's the difference between the Brain-Brain Fruit and Pudding's Memory-Memory Fruit?

In comparison, Pudding's Memory-Memory Fruit ability seems to be even more outstanding.

After all, the Memory-Memory Fruit's power not only didn't cause the user to turn into a big-headed doll, but it also allowed the user to extract past memories at any time, and even access and intercept other people's memories.

What are you thinking about?

Seeing Rorschach lost in thought, Lilith asked in confusion.

Rorschach snapped out of his reverie and chuckled, "I was wondering, Miss Lilith, what brings you here? You didn't come all this way just to see me, did you?"

He found himself in Marineford as soon as he woke up.

This hospital was the same one he had visited when he went to see Teacher Zefa.

“I did come to visit you.” Lilith smiled charmingly, and under Luo Xia’s astonished gaze, she unzipped her tight leather jacket, pulled out a test tube from her deep cleavage, and threw it onto the blanket in front of Luo Xia. It hit the forehead of the little girl who was peeking out, making her cry out in pain.

"what is this?"

Luo Xia's lips twitched as he looked at the glass test tube in his hand, which still emitted a warm, fragrant scent. He didn't know how to complain about why the other person would put this thing in such a place.

This is glass! What if it breaks because of violent movement?

You know, that area is very vulnerable...

"This is a bloodline factor repair potion made from your blood, which can repair the hidden injuries in your body."

Lilith's explanation made Rorschach's eyes widen.

He picked up the glass test tube, which was only as thick as a finger, and examined the blood-like red liquid inside closely. He discovered that the liquid was not blood, but a red fluid with a density significantly higher than blood. It looked very viscous, similar to the concentrated nutrient paste that Zhan Tao Wan had given him that day.

"Do you have any more of this kind of good stuff? Wouldn't that be able to heal the hidden injuries on Professor Zephyr and the others...?"

Before Rorschach could finish his question, Lilith interrupted him.

She slowly unzipped her blouse, concealing her breathtakingly voluptuous figure, and rolled her eyes at Luo Xia. "It's not that easy. Yours is a fresh injury, while theirs are old wounds accumulated over countless battles. Even if it could be repaired, with their current physical capabilities, the effect would be greatly reduced, and it might even have the opposite effect. After all, they are just ordinary humans."

"What do you mean they are all ordinary humans? Aren't I one too?" Rorschach was a little confused.

"You?" Lilith stood up, leaned down and got close to Rorschach, pinching his cheek and making him freeze.

Seeing Rorschach's embarrassed expression, Lilith chuckled:

"You were never an ordinary human. Do you know Charlotte Linlin? She was born with superhuman strength that rivals or even surpasses that of giants, and her skin is harder than steel."

But her race is not alien. Her parents are normal humans, and you are in a similar situation to her.

People like you who possess special talents or are born with some unusual traits are generally referred to as having 'bloodline factor mutations'.

In the vast majority of cases, such mutations are bad. For example, being born with a terminal illness or having extra arms.

But there's also a very small chance that someone like Charlotte Linlin or you will appear. I checked your bloodline factors and found that your bones are abnormal, with extraordinary density, and your bone marrow's hematopoietic function is incredibly strong, almost a hundred times that of an average human. Do you know what that means?

Lilith pinched Rorschach's face again, pulling his skin off.

"This means that every bone in your body could be taken and used to forge divine weapons. No wonder your animal-type abilities have developed to such a powerful level in such a short time. People with special physical talents like Charlotte Linlin and you are naturally suited for physical development abilities."

If Charlotte Linlin had eaten the Azure Dragon Fruit that Kaido possessed, the outcome of this war might have been different. Alright, after you finish this restorative potion, go to my place and get some concentrated nutritional paste. It's much easier for a big eater like you to absorb than to eat large amounts of food.”

She stood up, walked to the window, flipped over and jumped out, flames erupting from her feet, and disappeared from Rorschach and Lark's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you so much, Miss Lilith!" Rorschach called out.

Then, he unscrewed the rubber stopper on the glass test tube and, under the curious gaze of the lark, poured it into his mouth.

Skylark tilted his head back and asked curiously, "Brother Luo Xia, what does this taste like?"

"You want to know what it tastes like?" Rorschach countered.

"Yes... a little." Hibari nodded.

"You'll know once you try it yourself." Luo Xia pursed his lips, reached out his hands, cupped her small face, and leaned in.

Hibari's pupils dilated suddenly. "Eh?"

Chapter 412 There are no winners in war.

In the corridor of Marineford Hospital, Rorschach, wrapped in bandages like a mummy, was being helped forward by Lark.

Luo Xia felt a little awkward and tried to break free from Yun Que's hand that was supporting his arm, but the little girl stubbornly held on.

Luo Xia couldn't help but smile wryly, "Lan Que, I'm fine, aren't I? You don't need to do this. It makes me feel like an old man."

The lark didn't speak, her pretty little face was flushed, like a ripe red apple, making one want to take a bite.

Noticing Luo Xia's gaze, her face turned even redder.

Just now, she learned what the healing potion Lilith gave Rorschach tasted like.

Sweet...

Seeing that the little girl's head was almost buried in her chest, Luo Xia quickly coughed and shifted his gaze to the wards on both sides of the corridor.

He is indeed not in a very good state right now.

His body was weak and powerless, his stomach was unbearably hungry, and the power of lightning within him was exhausted.

But these are not major issues; all you need to do is eat plenty to replenish your energy.

He had already planned it out. He would have Lark go to the laboratory underground in Marineford and ask Lilith for some concentrated nutritional paste, so that he wouldn't have to go to the main canteen and consume its large food reserves.

Just then, a doctor in a white coat walked towards them, startling both Luo Xia and Yun Que, who couldn't help but call out at the same time.

"Luo."

The doctor in front of me, who was rushing around and whose eyes revealed an undisguised weariness, was none other than Luo.

Seeing Luo Xia being supported by Yun Que, Luo breathed a sigh of relief, the tension on his face eased slightly, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "You're awake? How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Sensing Luo's concern, Luo Xia smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine now. Lilith just brought me a vial of bloodline factor repair potion. She said that after I drink it, it will repair the damage to my body. After that, I'll replenish my strength, and my body will recover quickly."

"That's good. Then you should go to the cafeteria and get something to eat."

When Luo Xia mentioned that Lilith had brought the potion, Luo didn't seem surprised.

Because he already knew.

Three days ago, when they were the first to return to Marineford from the New World with the wounded, Sentomaru brought Lilith over and drew blood from some of the men, saying he was going to make them that kind of medicine.

Rorschach was among those whose blood was drawn.

Seeing that Luo was about to leave after speaking, Luo Xia quickly followed.

"Don't rush to eat. Luo, what's the situation now? What happened after I fainted? How did the war end? What are our casualties?"

Upon hearing Luo Xia's question, Luo sighed as he walked, "Although we won this war, too many people died or were injured in the process."

He glanced at Rorschach.

"After you fell into a coma, the war in the New World was basically over. You killed Shiki, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido took Katakuri and King respectively and retreated from G1 Island. The rest of the pirates, except for a few scattered ones who were swept away by the tsunami, were basically all dead."

After the Golden Lion died, islands began to fall from the sky. Although the generals intervened to shatter them, many islands still crashed into the sea, creating tsunamis hundreds of meters high.

At least 40% of our warships were swallowed up by those towering waves.

The exact number of casualties is still unknown, but... in the days you were unconscious, more than a thousand marines have died in this hospital.

"Forty percent?" Luo Xia's heart skipped a beat.

As far as he knew, the number of troops that Sengoku had gathered from his homeland and brought to the New World exceeded 70,000.

If calculated proportionally, 40% is close to 30,000.

In addition to the dozen or so Marine branches in the New World that were breached by the pirate alliance, and the more than 10,000 guards on G1 Island.

The naval personnel losses in this war also reached a level that they could not afford.

As they were talking, Luo walked to the door of a hospital room and pushed it open to enter.

Rorschach and Lark followed them inside.

There were four beds in the room, and one person was lying on each bed.

They were all acquaintances of Rorschach.

"Huh? Rorschach! You're awake?" The flying squirrel, leaning against a stack of blankets, looked at Rorschach with delight.

"Yes, we just woke up. Vice Admiral Momonga, how are you all feeling?"

Luo Xia smiled as he looked at the four men on the four beds.

Flying Squirrel, Onigumo, Fire Mountain, and Doberman are the four pillars of the Navy Headquarters.

"We're all fine, thanks to Luo's treatment. Otherwise, we would have died in that tsunami five days ago."

The flying squirrel forced a stiff smile.

Half of his face was wrapped in bandages, and dark red blood seeped through the gauze wrapped around his body, with some areas even showing signs of spreading.

With Law's Op-Op Fruit ability, most injuries would have been easily healed long ago.

However, the four of them were still wrapped in thick gauze and bandages, which showed how serious their injuries were.

The flying squirrel was laughing, but Luo, who had just pushed the door open, turned pale. He strode up to the group, snatched the cigars from their mouths, and threw them out the window.

"Are you all out of your minds? You've got holes in your bodies and you're still smoking, and smoking these kinds of cigars. Especially you, Huoshaoshan! Your lungs are punctured, the smoke you inhale is coming right out of your chest, and you're still smoking! Look at this room, it's filled with smoke. Smoking is prohibited in hospitals, understand?"

Luo Xia and Yun Que stared wide-eyed at Luo, who was reprimanding the four veteran lieutenant generals with a stern face.

Having been reprimanded by Luo in front of Luo Xia and Yun Que, Huo Shaoshan was a little embarrassed. He propped himself up on the bed, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice, "I'm almost fully recovered. I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow at the latest. Smoking a cigar is no big deal. My body is very strong."

"Is that so?" Luo walked forward expressionlessly and gently pressed his hand on Huoshaoshan's chest.

Instantly, Huoshaoshan's body shuddered, all his muscles tensed, he was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his face turned pale, and he kept gasping for breath.

"Are you going to be discharged tomorrow?" Luo asked coldly.

After taking a few deep breaths, Huoshaoshan collapsed onto the bed, feeling utterly exhausted. He said weakly, "I think I should stay a few more days. Although I feel almost fully recovered, it would be good to stay in the hospital for a few more days to avoid any lasting effects."
