One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Even an idiot could see that these people were transporting Baileys, probably to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

It is very likely that this money was the heavenly gold offered by the Jai (Kashgar) offering.

Under Rorschach's Observation Haki, nothing on the ship could escape his eyes.

He had already made a rough estimate and discovered that the money being transported by this ship amounted to a staggering 25 billion Berries!

This is an extremely extravagant sum of money.

It's worth noting that Luffy's Thousand Sunny in the manga only cost 300 million Berries to build.

It's still made of Adam wood.

It's still 18, and Pele is definitely worth more now than he will be two years from now.

In other words, the money here could buy nearly a hundred Thousand Sunny ships.

Even Luo Xia's Wind and Thunder Kirin could buy ten of them.

Meanwhile, several white-coated men in white coats, who had locked the gates and were still inside the castle, were sweating profusely as they dialed Den Den Mushi, presumably trying to contact Judge.

Unfortunately, Rorschach was there, and the ship was filled with magnetism and lightning, so there was no Den Den Mushi signal at all.

Rorschach was surprised that, despite such a huge sum of money, Judge didn't even send one of his sons to escort it.

Is he just carefree, or is he just stubborn?

In short, Luo Xia felt that today was a good day, and he seemed to be quite lucky. He found money as soon as he went out, and even a large sum of money.

Thinking this, the clone warriors, who were crowded on the deck, raised their knives and guns, and either charged forward or fired, aiming at Rorschach and Lark to launch an attack.

Rorschach didn't want to make a silly mistake when faced with firearms that might be mixed with sea stone nets or sea stone bullets.

He immediately stretched out his hand, and the power of lightning in his palm suddenly erupted, transforming into a torrent of silvery-white plasma that shot out with a bang. On the deck in front of him, hundreds of lightning bolts crackled and sprang forth, instantly piercing through the bodies of hundreds of burly clone warriors, electrocuting them until they were smoking and collapsed to the ground convulsing.

With a single strike, the entire armed force on the ship was dismantled.

"Hello, can you open the door? I'm delivering food."

Rorschach leisurely arrived at the castle gate and very politely knocked on the door.

The people inside were immediately thrown into chaos.

An older man in a white coat forced himself to remain calm and spoke in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why are you opposing our Germa Kingdom?"

Rorschach scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "When did I ever oppose you Germa? Didn't you see that I was the one who saved you just now?"

Upon hearing Rorschach's words, the people in the castle nearly exploded with anger.

A young man in a white coat, unable to contain his anger, retorted, "You've defeated all the soldiers of our Germa Legion, and you still claim to have saved us? I admit you're very strong, but this is going too far!"

"Oh, so scholarly, huh? No wonder you're a scientist from the Germa Kingdom." Rorschach chuckled, reaching out to grasp the doorknob. "They attacked me first. I saved you, and instead of expressing gratitude, you attacked first. Did you expect me to just sit here and wait to die? Does Judge know how arrogant Germa is?"

As he spoke, he turned the doorknob.

Just then, he heard the three people in white coats inside the door burst into gloating laughter.

"Go to hell! Only a few of us have the authority to open this door freely. If an outsider forces it open, a current of fifty million volts will be generated on the door, turning you into a charred corpse..."

"Click."

The door opened, revealing Luo Xia's sunny and cheerful smiling face.

The three men's passionate speeches came to an abrupt halt, as if someone had grabbed their throats, their faces turning red with frustration.

"I'm sorry to have disappointed you."

Rorschach smiled and extended his hand, which was crackling with electricity.

"No one understands lightning better than me."

Chapter 426 The Secret Hidden Inside the Red Line

Inside the dimly lit castle, three scientists—one old and two young—in white coats huddled together in fear.

The three faces, filled with fear, flickered in and out of focus as the electric current flashed in Rorschach's hand.

Rorschach casually pointed, and the electricity in his hand spread out, instantly forming a huge network that kept flashing and illuminating the interior of the castle.

The space inside is huge; it's like a giant snail shell.

The castle's external eaves and spires were likely architectural decorations added by Judge.

At this moment, inside this giant snail shell, there is a small mountain made up of a large amount of bailey.

It can be seen that these large quantities of Pele were originally wrapped in a thick layer of oilcloth and tied together with ox-tendon rope to form large cubes.

However, a neat tear appeared on the tarpaulin on one of the large squares.

Rorschach pursed his lips and glanced at the three Germa scientists in front of him.

As Luo Xia looked over, two of the younger ones fell to the ground with a thud.

The older one calmed down, knowing that he and his companions could not escape the clutches of the person in front of him, so he simply stood there and stared directly at Luo Xia.

"Wow! So much money! My God, is Germa really that rich?"

The lark behind him followed in and was completely stunned when he saw the mountain of peleys.

Rorschach, on the other hand, remained very calm.

Having seen Jonathan's old tricks in the Hunter's Guild's vault and the hundreds of thousands of tons of gold on Skypiea, this little bit of Beli is nothing compared to the bigger picture.

He was more interested in the origin and history of the money than in the money itself.

So he looked at the older scientist and asked, "Tell me, where are you going to send this money? What has Judge been up to in the North Sea?"

"You...you have no right to interfere! I advise you to leave immediately, because we have already contacted His Majesty Judge, and the most powerful Germa Legion in the North Sea will be here soon."

A young man who had fallen to the ground shouted, his neck stiff.

The next instant, a tiny bolt of lightning shot from Rorschach's fingertip and pierced his forehead.

"Oh!"

With a muffled thud, the man's hair exploded, his eyes were electrocuted into two murky blobs, and he fell backward without a sound, instantly losing his breath.

"Ah!" The man sitting next to him screamed in fright, scrambling back and hiding in a corner, staring at Luo Xia with terrified eyes, his whole body trembling.

Yellow liquid was leaking from his trouser leg and pooling under his body.

He was so scared that he peed himself.

Rorschach's words terrified not only the scientists in front of him.

Even the lark was startled.

No one expected Rorschach to suddenly kill someone.

When Luo Xia looked at him again, the old man who had been trying to remain calm instantly broke down.

He knelt down, trembling, and recounted in a shaky voice all about the Beli and the grand scheme that the Germa Kingdom had orchestrated in the North Sea.

After hearing his story, both Rorschach and Lark frowned.

"Has the situation really gotten this serious? In other words, once this money is delivered to the Holy Land and received by the World Government, all of Germa Kingdom's military activities in the North Blue will be completely legalized. Even if the Navy finds out, they'll be ordered not to interfere. Heh heh..."

"As expected of the Celestial Dragons, as expected of the World Government, they only care about money and not people. The lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the four North Blue countries are not worth as much as 25 billion Berries."

Luo Xia shook his head and chuckled, his eyes revealing undisguised sarcasm.

Upon hearing Luo Xia's words, the old man's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that Luo Xia would say such a thing.

In his mind, no one would dare to say a bad word about the world government.

Even someone as arrogant as Judge would never dare to speak ill of the World Government or the Celestial Dragons, even in private.

This could lead to a disaster that results in the arrest of a naval admiral; if it leaks out, I'm doomed.

Thinking of this, the old man suddenly stared intently at Luo Xia and said in a hoarse voice, "You...you could be...you could be a revolutionary!"

"Huh?" Luo Xia was taken aback.

Why are we bringing up the revolutionary army again?

"Stop pretending! The only ones who dare to defy our Germa Kingdom, openly attack the War Docks, steal the Celestial Gold, and disregard the World Government are the Revolutionary Army, who roam the world." He let out a hoarse, bitter laugh, slumping to the ground. "No wonder those three impoverished non-member nations had the courage to provoke our Germa army; it turns out the Revolutionary Army really was behind it all!"

"Huh?" Luo Xia and Yun Que opened their mouths wide.

"Hmph! Still pretending! Isn't this what you all came for?"

The old man angrily pulled an envelope from his pocket and threw it on the ground, shouting, "I knew our Den Den Mushi communications had been intercepted by the Revolutionary Army long ago! Even though His Majesty Judge used letters to inform the World Government that there was a Revolutionary Army in the North Blue, it was inevitably intercepted by you. Hahaha..."

He laughed bitterly, "I advised His Majesty not to get involved in the Revolutionary Army's affairs. Although our Germa Kingdom is powerful, we are nothing in front of the World Government. But the Revolutionary Army has become a major thorn in the side of the World Government. The Revolutionary Army leader, Dragon, is incredibly powerful. How could we be his match? However, His Majesty Judge believed that as long as we didn't use Den Den Mushi for communication, we could secretly contact the World Government and send people to wipe out the Revolutionary Army. That would definitely increase the Germa Kingdom's importance in the eyes of the World Government. Hehehe, I knew then that the news would definitely be leaked. Now it seems that the news has indeed been leaked and intercepted by you!"

"Which of the three non-member states have the Revolutionary Army secretly supporting them? Damn, I thought they were just coming to the North Sea to get Gaji, but I didn't expect them to drag Dragon into this again. Hmm... I hope they don't cause any trouble this time. I'm not an admiral, if Dragon forces me onto the Revolutionary Army's ship, that would be really difficult."

Rorschach suddenly felt a headache coming on.

He was just remarking that he had struck it lucky today.

Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn, and even bigger trouble followed.

He looked at the letter handed to him by Hibari, glanced at the message Judge had personally written to the Five Elders, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

Luckily, I stumbled upon it, not only intercepting the windfall but also blocking the secret letter.

"Hmm? In that case, the World Government didn't get the money, which means Judge's actions in the North Blue were illegal." Rorschach smiled again.

That way, I can still get involved in the mess in Beihai.

Even if the World Government gets the money, Rorschach will still intervene.

But now that there's one less obstacle, I can be a little more arrogant in doing things.

'George, George, remember to check the almanac next time you go out.'

With his mood improving, Rorschach looked at the dejected old man again and asked curiously, "By the way, how did your ship fall from the sky? Did you lose your footing with the Den Den Mushi?"

"Weren't you the ones who attacked us? Now that things have come to this, why do you continue to humiliate us! Since we've fallen into your hands, do with us as you please!"

The old man became scholarly again.

“We didn’t attack you! We just came from Reverse Mountain when we saw Belies falling from the sky, and then your ship crashed down on us,” Hibari said.
