One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"You didn't attack us?" the old man asked in surprise.

Given Rorschach's ability to instantly eliminate all the clone warriors on the ship, there's no reason for him to lie to himself.

But if it wasn't Rorschach's attack, how could they have fallen down for no reason when they were climbing halfway up the Red Line?

It's important to understand that although it was carrying hundreds of tons of weight, it was far from reaching the limit of the transport capacity of the large Den Den Mushi beneath it.

They, the Germa, have traveled this road at least eighty times, if not a hundred.

There had never been any problems before, so how could something happen for no reason now?

Seeing the old man lost in thought, Rorschach asked again, "You're transporting so much money, how can Judge be so sure he doesn't need an escort?"

"Of course, they were escorted ahead. Ichiji, Niji, Yonji, and Princess Reiju all personally participated in the escort. But after War Dock began climbing the Red Line, they turned back. It would take several days for the super-sized Den Den Mushi carrying heavy loads to climb the Red Line, which is over 10,000 meters high. They were also busy unifying the North Blue, so they didn't have time to waste here."

The old man answered Luo Xia's questions truthfully and without any concealment.

"So that's how it is," Luo Xia said, suddenly understanding.

It seems this Den Den Mushi has been climbing the red earth for quite some time now.

"One last question for you," Rorschach said, looking at the dejected old man. "As scientists at Germa, what kind of work do you usually do?"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, the old man's lifeless eyes suddenly twitched.

He looked up at Rorschach.

He wondered if Rorschach was interested in his research abilities and wanted to recruit him into the Revolutionary Army.

Come to think of it, the Revolutionary Army has been a thorn in the side of the World Government since its inception.

In order to strengthen their power and confront the world government, they not only need to win over non-member states, but also need talents from all walks of life.

Scientists, especially in the field of scientific research, are highly sought after by all factions.

Regardless of what human modification experiments or poison gas experiments these scientists have conducted in the past, as long as they are willing to work for those forces, they can become honored guests.

Thinking of this, the old man's will to survive was ignited by Rorschach's words, and he quickly shouted, "In the Kingdom of Germa, I am in charge of researching the cultivation of clone warriors and shortening their growth cycle. Through years of effort, we have successfully reduced the time it took to cultivate elite warriors from five to ten years to just three. Think about it, with just three years and a large investment of money, I can continuously produce countless clone warriors for your Revolutionary Army who are fearless and completely obedient to orders! I am willing to join the Revolutionary Army. Just give me some manpower, and I can immediately set up a clone warrior production line for you..."

Luo Xia raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect you to be such a tech genius."

"What kind of cow?"

The old man didn't understand.

“It means a very talented scientist,” Luo Xia said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the old man's face immediately lit up with a bright smile. His fear vanished, and he stood up from the ground, extending his hand to Luo Xia, saying with a smile, "Hello, let me introduce myself, I am..."

"Crack!"

A flash of electricity was flicked out by Rorschach and pierced through his forehead.

The old man's smile froze. He remained frozen in that smiling posture for a few seconds before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Upon seeing this, the young man huddled in the corner was about to scream.

The next second, his forehead was also pierced by the electric light, and his brain was charred.

"Brother Luo Xia, what's going on..." Yun Que looked at him in confusion.

Luo Xia said softly, "This news must not get out. No one on this ship can survive."

Seeing Yun Que's hesitant expression, he couldn't help but reach out and pat her head, saying gently, "These scientists are no good; they deserve to die. As for those clone warriors outside, ha, they have no will of their own. Once they're created, they're either sent to the battlefield or destroyed and recycled. Are those people even human? I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, doesn't the Naval Science Department also create clone warriors? For example, the clone of Bartholomew Kuma they're researching, the Pacifista War Machine."

The lark nodded.

"In fact, the two are the same in nature. They both clone powerful warriors to go to the battlefield. I will not favor our navy in this regard."

Rorschach sighed and said softly, "Firstly, the trend is inevitable, and it's beyond our power to stop. Secondly, this chaotic sea needs powerful weapons that can influence the course of large-scale wars, and we alone cannot change this chaotic era. If necessary, I can contribute my bloodline factor to have Lilith and the others create tens of thousands of Rorschach. If it really can change the world."

Yun Que nodded again, "I understand, Brother Luo Xia."

"Okay. Let's go, we need to do something about this ship."

Immediately, the two flew out of the war dock, and Rorschach once again unleashed a powerful plasma torrent, wiping out all the clone warriors on the ship and throwing their bodies into the sea.

The intense lightning melted a large amount of steel on the war dock, stretching it in the air and turning it into a huge box.

Rorschach manipulated the large box, cooled it with seawater, and then loaded all the Beli from the War Dock into it, levitating it to his side using magnetic force.

After doing all this, he looked at the huge snail ship floating in front of him, his right hand spread out with five fingers, lightning flashing at the fingertips, and a terrifying energy fluctuation was rising.

Just as Rorschach was about to launch an attack that would completely destroy the war dock, the head of the giant Den Den Mushi suddenly emerged from the hull.

It looks like an oversized Den Den Mushi (snail phone).

At this moment, this oversized Den Den Mushi, with its large, human-like blinking eyes, looked at Rorschach in fear, tears welling up in its eyes, appearing extremely pitiful.

Lark tugged at Rorschach's hand and asked in surprise, "Brother Rorschach, is it begging for mercy? Is it intelligent?"

"No, I think it's probably just a biological instinct," Rorschach shook his head.

As he spoke, electricity reappeared in his hand.

Just as a terrifying bolt of lightning was about to shoot from Rorschach's hand, the face of the giant Den Den Mushi suddenly twitched and transformed into Hibari's face, with tears streaming from its eyes, looking at Rorschach pitifully.

"Forehead……"

Rorschach's hand froze in mid-air.

This Den Den Mushi seems to be quite clever.

She actually used this method to beg for his forgiveness.

"Brother Rorschach, can you let it go? I feel so sorry for it." Hibari looked at the pitiful, oversized Den Den Mushi and felt a pang of pity.

Luo Xia stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Hehe, whatever you say."

A flash of electricity appeared in his hand, and the accumulated lightning shot out, striking the heavy fortress, deck, and outer vessel that the Den Den Mushi carried, amidst its terrified gaze.

With a series of cracking sounds, a large number of stones, planks, and steel materials were precisely disintegrated by the power of lightning and detached from the Den Den Mushi.

Rorschach's control over the lightning was effortless, and he didn't harm the Den Den Mushi in the slightest.

A moment later, the enormous Den Den Mushi, which was fifty meters long, shed its original heavy and bulky appearance and transformed back into an enlarged version of the Den Den Mushi.

Freed from its restraints, the Den Den Mushi was initially lost in confusion for a long time, before a happy smile appeared on its face, which had transformed into a lark.

Tears welled up in its eyes again, and to the astonishment of Rorschach and Lark, it lowered its large, soft head and lay sprawled in mid-air.

Rorschach scratched his head: "What does it mean?"

Hibari chuckled. "It has submitted to you, Brother Rorschach. You might have gained a super-sized Den Den Mushi as a subordinate. Hehe, how interesting."

Rorschach smiled wryly, waved his hand, and manipulated the air currents to place the large Den Den Mushi onto the sea surface.

It can swim and is an excellent swimmer, so there's no need to worry about it drowning in the sea.

Hibari looked down and saw the Den Den Mushi floating on the sea, still looking up at them, and couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Go now! You're free! See you again someday!" the lark waved to it.

Rorschach smiled and pulled Lark back onto the warship, then, controlling Bailey who was in a large iron box, flew towards the Red Line above.

Yun Que was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Brother Luo Xia, where are we going?"

"Hide the money well, and while you're at it, take a look at what the inside of this enormous red earth continent looks like."

"Inside the Red Earth?" Hibari didn't understand.

But a moment later, she understood what Luo Xia meant.

On the red earthen cliffs seven or eight thousand meters above the sea, Rorschach precisely located a section of the cliff that had broken away from the rock, and smashed it with a swing of his hand.

With a loud bang, the cliff face in front of them shattered, revealing a large hole more than ten meters in diameter.

This huge hole is bottomless, with a winding and twisting interior, like a giant maze, and no one knows where the other end leads.

Rorschach tossed the large iron box containing Berry into the hole, his Observation Haki sweeping across the surroundings. Looking at the dazed Hibari, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole. Who would have thought that such a vast space had been carved out inside this huge red earth continent?"

Chapter 427 The King and the General

The capital of the Kingdom of Lubnilu is located in Port Maroz, one of the most prosperous transportation hubs in the North Sea.

This small island, covering an area of ​​about 30 square kilometers, is famous for its perfumes, beer, and cigarettes.

The number of merchant ships traveling to and from the Port of Meruz each year is more than ten times that of its neighboring countries.

This is precisely why the Kingdom of Lubnilu was able to collect enough tax revenue to pay the expensive Celestial Gold to the World Government, becoming one of the first kingdoms in the North Blue to join the alliance.

Even so, the Kingdom of Lubnilu did not stand out in the North Sea.

What truly made this kingdom known to the world was the world-famous adventure story of Montblanc Nolando.

Noland's adventure stories are a series of exciting adventures personally recorded by Montblanc Noland, the most famous explorer of the Kingdom of Lubnilu, four hundred years ago, during his world voyages.

Although four hundred years ago, Noland was executed for failing to prove the existence of the Golden City to the king at the time.

However, his adventure stories were preserved by his descendants and spread around the world through merchants traveling to and from the port of Meruze, becoming one of the most famous children's books in the world.

Many people were inspired by its powerful spirit of adventure to set sail and explore this colorful world, leading to the rediscovery of many forgotten ancient lands.

Ironically, Noland himself was labeled a great liar in the Kingdom of Lubnilu.

At this moment, in the heart of the port of Meruz, in a palace surrounded by towering walls, King Sid XVII of the Kingdom of Lubnilu, an elderly bald man, paced back and forth at the gate of the palace, which was guarded by many soldiers, with his hands behind his back and a worried expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, are you tired? Would you like to go to your bedchamber to rest for a while?"

Seeing this, the princess, who was standing to the side, stepped forward with a concerned expression and spoke softly in Sid's ear.

Sid was captivated by her soft, gentle voice, feeling his blood rushing to his lower abdomen and his body burning with heat.

Sid looked down and saw a girl with half-exposed snow-capped peaks, a sweet and lovely face, a pair of fluffy cat ears on her head, and a thin veil covering her body, her soft skin faintly visible beneath, looking at him obediently and docilely.

The catwoman's delicate and charming aura instantly made Sid lose control. He immediately forgot his worries and, panting heavily, pressed his seventh queen, a fur girl he had bought at a high price from slave traders, to the ground.

He showed no concern that he was standing at the entrance of the main hall, surrounded by guards.

The guards, clad in armor and wielding spears, were unfazed. Their eyes gleamed, and they licked their lips, watching greedily.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Sid XVII became even more excited.
