One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Shut up! I'm willing to do anything for those who need me! Gladius, die!"

The cannonball that Baby5 had transformed into suddenly accelerated and, to Gladius's astonishment and anger mingled, slammed straight into him.

boom!

Chapter 54, Act Four: Sacrifice [Please add to your favorites 3/3]

boom!

A dazzling flame lit up the sky.

Before the frustrated Gladius could catch Law, he was slammed in the back by Baby5 rushing up from behind, coughing up blood, which then caused a huge explosion.

Thick smoke enveloped his body.

Bang!

The air below exploded, and Rorschach finally leaped to Rorschach's side, catching him around the waist and pulling him down with him.

"captain!"

Upstairs, Bepo and his two companions, who had been woken up by Drake, rushed over.

He rubbed his ear while looking at Luo, whose face was somewhat pale, with concern.

"Captain, are you alright?"

"Phew, I'm fine, just a little exhausted."

Luo took a breath and was helped to the side by his companions.

This gave Rorschach time to observe the situation of the Blade Squad.

The first thing that catches the eye is the headquarters captain whose legs have been severed.

Drake was holding his colleague, his eyes red-rimmed, and slamming his fist heavily on the floor.

Luo Xia's heart skipped a beat, and his mood became heavy.

Could it be...?

"he......"

Luo Xia squatted down and looked at the captain with a strained voice.

Drake sniffed and choked out, "He's not dead yet."

Luo Xia immediately plopped down on the ground, pointing at him and saying, "You're so sad that you're not dead? You scared me to death, you bastard."

Drake's eyes were red as he looked at the captain's empty legs.

"But he has no legs."

"Ugh."

Luo Xia's eyes dimmed, and he sighed.

Yes, although the lieutenant survived by sheer luck, he lost both his legs.

This means that his naval career will end here from now on.

This is the true picture of life for low-ranking naval soldiers in this world.

In this world, individual power reigns supreme across the seas, and the strong can single-handedly defeat thousands and easily annihilate a nation.

The weak are often just cannon fodder; no matter how many there are, they are just insignificant numbers in the eyes of the strong.

Without sufficient strength, even a casual mission will result in the death or injury of a large number of soldiers.

Luo Xia glanced back at the other dozen or so officers and found that most of them were unharmed, except for some internal injuries caused by the earlier explosion.

The peacock also woke up and was frowning as it gazed towards the palace.

"Is his leg still there? If it is, I can reattach it."

Suddenly, a somewhat weak voice rang in the ears of Rorschach and Drake.

Yes, Luo.

He walked over, supported by Bepo and Pekin.

Luo Xia's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Oh right, I almost forgot, there's a doctor here!"

Upon hearing this, the lieutenants of the Sharp Blade Unit immediately began searching in all directions.

Luo crouched down and examined the captain's wound. "Even if we can't find the severed leg, it's okay. I can set someone else's leg for him."

"The legs of...other people?"

Everyone was stunned.

You look at me, I look at you.

Drake stood up, his face filled with sorrow, as if he had made up his mind.

"I am the highest-ranking officer in this unit. I brought them out here, so naturally I must bring them back intact!"

Under Luo's stunned gaze, he rolled up his trouser legs, revealing two long, black-haired legs, and drew a long sword from a lieutenant's waist, handing it over.

"Give him my leg instead!"

Upon hearing this, the still bewildered officers burst into tears.

"Captain Drake! No way! If anyone's going to be replaced, it should be our legs!"

"Yes! Use mine! Use my legs! Anyway, I'm too weak to be of much help."

They choked back tears, gathered around, rolled up their trouser legs, and showed Luo their hairy legs.

Luo was somewhat amused and exasperated, and could only helplessly point in the direction of the royal city, "I mean, we can use a pirate's leg."

"A pirate's leg?"

Everyone was stunned.

Drake clenched his right fist and tapped it against his left palm, suddenly realizing, "Oh~, I get it, we'll find a pirate and have him voluntarily give up his leg so we can replace it with his."

"Pirates...would they do it voluntarily?"

"He definitely will, right? If not, then beat him until he's willing."

Suddenly, the Sharp Blade Squad's morale inexplicably soared, filled with fighting spirit.

Fortunately, the captain's severed leg was eventually found.

This indirectly prevented a certain lucky pirate from losing both legs.

Luo Xia shook his head with a wry smile and walked to Peacock's side.

"Major, what are you looking at?"

Peacock frowned slightly as she looked at the huge, deep pit on the inland coast in the distance.

“Princerus shielded us from the attacks of Torrepol and the other two. We don’t know if he’s alive or dead now.”

"What? That guy actually?"

Luo Xia's body trembled, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

For the first time, Peacock showed a hint of shame. "As members of the Navy, we were the ones who were supposed to be rescued. We really failed in our duty."

Drake then walked over and silently drew his weapon from his waist.

“That second prince is a real man, I, Drake, approve of him. I heard he’s always wanted to become a Marine, and if he hadn’t died this time, I would definitely have introduced him to someone.”

"So......"

Rorschach took a deep breath and looked at Torrepol appearing on the street in the distance, Gladius with his clothes torn to shreds, and Baby5 who had returned to normal and had an angry look on his face.

"Get ready, an even tougher battle is about to begin."

"Heh, don't forget there's a big worm behind us."

Drake slung the weapon over his shoulder and grinned.

Rorschach turned to Rorschach, who was treating the lieutenants, and said:

"Luo, I have a feeling that your abilities might be the key to this battle. You should stay here for now, take this opportunity to recover your strength, and then provide support when you think it's the best time."

Luo looked at him deeply and nodded slowly.

"I understand."

"Hmm. Here, take this and get some strength back."

Rorschach pulled the hard, iron-like baguette from behind his back and shoved it into Rorschach's hand.

Luo's lips twitched. "I already told you I hate bread the most, and... where the hell did you pull that out from?"

"Mr. Hawkins, and you?"

As soon as Rorschach asked the question, he saw Hawkins take a long knife from a lieutenant.

"I'm fine, let's go. I have a feeling this battle will be a turning point in our lives, because..."

Hawkins held up a tarot card.

"The wheel of fortune has begun to turn."

"Haha, then I'll take your good wishes! Let's get started!"

"Drake, Hawkins, you two go deal with that big bug."

"Officers, go find Prince Gross!"

"Major Peacock, let's go!"

Whoosh whoosh!

On the rooftop, four figures flew away at lightning speed.

Luo watched with a serious expression as Luo Xia and Peacock rushed towards Torrepol.

He knew that these Don Quixote Family members with their special abilities were far more troublesome than Mig Jones, the giant insect.

"Rorschach! Remember to tell Baby5 that you need her anytime!"
