One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"do not want!"

Judge was delirious, muttering Ichiji's name incoherently.

Feeling the completely cold body in his arms, Judge felt as if his soul had been ripped out, leaving only an empty shell. He knelt dejectedly on the pile of rubble.

He raised his head blankly and looked at Rorschach appearing in the sky.

"Why? Why? My life's work, my masterpiece, my child! Why did you kill him?!"

"You killed your own child; I'm just returning him to you."

Rorschach's eyes were icy cold, and he remained unmoved by Judge's frantic questioning.

He floated in mid-air, looking down at this familiar place, his heart filled with killing intent and rage no less than that of Judge at this moment.

Upon hearing Rorschach's reply, Judge opened his mouth and let out a hoarse howl from deep within his throat, like a wounded lone wolf.

"Navy Rorschach! I'll kill you!!"

He released the dead Ichi, his entire body radiating a violent killing intent. With a stomp of his foot, he leaped into the air, gripping the golden spear in his hand. He drew a long golden afterimage in mid-air and thrust the spear towards Rorschach's face.

"You're only just realizing I'm in the Navy?"

Seeing Judge charging towards him with bloodshot eyes, Rorschach grabbed him with his large hand, just before Judge's high-speed thrust was about to pierce his face, and caught the golden spear.

Judge's rapidly advancing body seemed to have crashed into a reef. His right hand, which was gripping the spear, failed to let go in time, and he suddenly stopped, but his body continued to rush forward.

"Do you even have any respect for the Navy? Openly besieging and attacking a Navy branch, Judge, you are truly lawless! Who gave you the courage?!"

Rorschach grabbed the spear that he had thrust at in a fit of rage with his left hand, raised his right hand, and slapped it across the face.

"Snapped!"

Wherever Rorschach's palm passed, the air was pushed aside, creating a gust of wind.

Judge's left cheek was hit squarely by the slap, and half of his face swelled up instantly. Even his cheekbone was dented, and more than a dozen bloody teeth flew out of his mouth.

Like a badminton shuttlecock being slapped away by a racket, he was sent flying from a hundred meters in the sky by Rorschach's slap, crashing into the capital like a cannonball, smashing a corner of a weapons factory, and landing diagonally on the blood-stained square, creating a huge crater in the ground.

The residents who were busy working around the square stared blankly at this scene.

Watching the powerful, cold-blooded King Judge of the Germa Kingdom being slapped down by the person who appeared in the sky, lying at the bottom of the broken pit like a dead dog, unable to get up for a long time.

This stark contrast left all those who had been forcibly conscripted from all over the North Sea by the Germa army standing frozen in place, forgetting the work at hand.

A question arose in everyone's mind.

Who is that person who suddenly appeared in the sky?

“I heard the King just now shouting, ‘Navy Rorschach.’”

Suddenly, someone in the stunned crowd spoke hesitantly.

"Navy Rorschach? That name sounds familiar."

Uncontrollable murmurs arose from the crowd.

When Rorschach landed from the sky with Judge's golden spear in his hand, landing with a thud on the plaza, and the surrounding crowd recognized him, they instantly erupted in a frenzy, having identified Rorschach.

"No wonder you sounded so familiar, it's Lieutenant Rorschach! He saved me a year ago during the coup in the Kingdom of Prince."

"What Lieutenant Rorschach! Don't talk nonsense, this is Major General Rorschach! I've read the newspapers, he single-handedly took on ten thousand pirates in Paradise, eliminating many ferocious and powerful pirates and protecting many civilians."

"Your information is outdated. Rear Admiral Luo Xia has now become the youngest Vice Admiral in the Navy, codenamed Bluescale! He is the pride of our North Sea!"

"Is Lieutenant General Rorschach here to rescue us? I don't want to work here anymore. I'm so tired. I want to go home. I haven't been home for over a year..."

Some people choked up and cried out loud.

But soon, the noisy crowd quieted down and retreated into the factory in fear.

Because batches of fully armed clone warriors were swarming in from all over the capital and gathering in this square.

Cannons and rocket launchers, carried by clone warriors, surrounded Rorschach in the center of the square, forming an impenetrable military formation.

Hundreds of clone warriors wielding sharp blades had already stormed into the plaza and were charging toward Rorschach.

In the pit in front of him, Judge struggled to his feet, his head spinning.

He looked utterly miserable at that moment.

His face was swollen and sunken, and his mouth was uncontrollably stretched open, constantly drooling and bleeding.

My left eardrum was punctured, and I can't hear anything anymore.

His left eye was also completely black; his retina had detached, leaving him blind.

With only his bloodshot right eye, he still stared intently at Rorschach.

Judge's shattered jaw twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a beast-like roar.

"Kill him!"

"kill!"

As Judge gave the order, all the clone warriors in the entire capital surged forward like a tidal wave, launching an attack on Rorschach.

Under the cover of the vanguard, the clone warriors responsible for long-range artillery fire from the rear had already loaded their shells.

Ignoring their comrades who were frantically charging and surrounding Luo Xia, they lit the cannon fuses and fired heavy shells at Luo Xia's location.

Moreover, there are even more high-tech weapons.

Missiles, missiles, torpedoes, and all kinds of shells were unleashed by the clone warriors without regard for anything else, raining down on Rorschach.

Bullets rained down like a storm.

Faced with such a powerful barrage of firepower, Luo Xia remained unfazed. His tall and imposing body trembled slightly, and an incomparably domineering aura transformed into a tangible black and red ball of light that burst forth from his body, instantly expanding to thousands of meters and sweeping across the entire royal city!

Not only that, but a lightning field that was also expanding rapidly instantly unfolded.

Thousands upon thousands of shimmering electric snakes spread across the sky, centered on Rorschach, enveloping the entire Germa capital.

Countless incoming shells and bullets stopped flying the instant these wildly dancing electric snakes burst forth, remaining suspended in the sky.

Electric snakes pierced the air, passing through tens of thousands of robust clone warriors.

Amidst a series of crackling explosions, these clone warriors, whom Judge had spent over a decade cultivating and creating with the aim of unifying the North Sea kingdoms and achieving the great revival of the Germa Kingdom, were reduced to charred remains, covering the entire capital city.

Judge stared blankly at the scene of corpses strewn across the land, his mouth agape but no sound came out, his whole being lost in a daze.

Chapter 438 A Life of Royal Power and Hegemony Ends in Vain

Why did it turn out like this?

Judge stared blankly at the clone warriors lying dead on the ground. A deep question arose in his mind, even though he always considered himself a wise man.

He always believed that his plan to revive Germa was a flawless and perfect one.

If we simply follow the pre-set steps one by one, we will soon achieve the glory of hundreds of years ago, making the Germa Kingdom the overlord of the North Sea once again, and the ruler of the entire North Sea.

For this project, many years ago, when he was still very young, he joined MADS, an illegal research group led by Vegapunk, with his outstanding scientific talent.

Even in MADS, a place teeming with geniuses and scientists, Vinsmoke Judge stands out as one of the most outstanding researchers.

In terms of research talent, apart from Vegapunk who is far ahead of the competition, only a few people such as Queen and Caesar can be compared with him.

Unlike others who blindly pursued their research, Judge always knew exactly what he wanted.

Therefore, during his time with the MADS team, he devoted himself to in-depth research on ancestral factors.

After successfully cloning some powerful individuals and obtaining a large amount of successful experimental data.

Judge then conceived the idea of ​​stealing some of the bloodline factors of powerful individuals, returning to the North Sea, and creating a powerful army of clones.

Unfortunately, people are not as good as God.

His idea was abandoned before it could be implemented.

The World Government discovered MADS's dangerous research projects, dispatched agents to destroy the research base, and arrested many scientists.

Judge escaped amidst the chaos and returned to the North Sea.

Although he didn't bring back samples of the bloodline factors of those powerful individuals, with a large amount of experimental data, Judge was extremely confident that he could reproduce his plan to mass-produce troops in a short period of time.

Since it's impossible to clone a powerful individual, then we'll create one ourselves with perfect bloodline factors.

Therefore, Judge directly used his own child as the experimental subject.

During his wife Sora's pregnancy, he continuously injected the developing baby with various bloodline factor adjusting agents, so that while the fetus was still in the womb and before birth, he would use artificial intervention to adjust it to what he considered the most perfect bloodline factor model.

Judge firmly believes that as long as his child can perfectly adapt to his modifications, he will become a powerful being no less than the monsters of the sea.

And the day his children successfully awaken their bloodline factors will be the day the Germa Kingdom stands atop the North Sea.

Although a minor accident occurred during this period, resulting in a child failing to adapt, it did not affect Judge's expectations for the future.

Six months ago, the bloodline factor within Ichi finally awakened.

This caused Ichiji's power to increase by leaps and bounds, widening the gap between him and Yonji, Niji, Reiju, and others whose original strengths were similar.

Not only did his physical body become exceptionally strong, but he also naturally awakened dual-color domineering abilities.

Judge was overjoyed, believing that the day when Germa would regain its former glory had arrived.

Over the next six months, he massively expanded the production of clone soldiers and began to gradually erode the interests of neighboring countries.

Finally, after accumulating a considerable fortune, Judge decided to mobilize his entire army and launch the first battle to unify the North Sea.

Let's start by attacking the four closest countries to expand the territory of the Germa Kingdom.

After accumulating resources for another three years and waiting for the large-scale troop buildup to end, we will sweep across the entire North Sea with overwhelming force.

Therefore, Judge first sent the prepared Celestial Gold to the World Government to avoid giving them any reason to make things difficult for him.

They also deployed troops to blockade several naval branches in the surrounding area to prevent those self-proclaimed righteous naval forces from causing trouble for them.

Finally, he sent his four most trusted children, each leading troops to one of the four surrounding countries, to persuade them to surrender.

If they don't surrender, then let's go to war.

The numerous plans were interconnected, and in Judge's view, they were simply perfect.

He even considered the Revolutionary Army and the Navy, which were the most likely to encounter unexpected situations.

On the Revolutionary Army's side, he pretended to be completely unaware, but secretly informed the World Government through a secret letter.
