One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

For centuries, the dream of all fish-men has been to live freely and safely under the sun and on the sea.

Unfortunately, the disadvantage of the race meant that this dream remained unfulfilled for eight hundred years.

Such a vast ocean, and they are its darlings, yet they can never find a safe corner.

Her mother, Queen Otohime, had a lifelong wish: that one day she could lead her people to the sea and under the sun, to live peacefully and equally with humans and other races.

Driven by this dream, that delicate woman always unleashed astonishing power, leaving the Dragon Palace Kingdom and Fishman Island regardless of danger, traveling back and forth among human kingdoms, and delivering eloquent speeches at the World Conference in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Even though she ultimately died at Hody Jones's hands for this unattainable dream, she never complained and told Shirahoshi not to hold grudges, but to treat the world with kindness, and the world would repay you with kindness.

"Looking directly at the sun for a long time can damage your eyesight."

Just as Bai Xing was staring blankly at the sun in the sky, tears streaming down her face, a gentle voice rang in her ear.

Bai Xing turned her head in a daze and saw the silver-haired boy who had suddenly appeared outside the ship earlier standing on the ship's railing, looking at her with a smile on his lips.

Under the gentle gaze of the young man, Bai Xing's sadness gradually subsided.

She raised the back of her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, blinked her eyes, and looked at Luo Xia curiously.

Bai Xing noticed that the little human boy in front of her actually had a pair of light blue eyes just like hers.

"Hello... I'm Bai Xing. Who are you?" Bai Xing asked softly.

"Hello, my name is Rorschach, it's a pleasure to meet you, Princess Shirahoshi."

Luo Xia looked the mermaid princess up and down, who had a delicate temperament but was breathtakingly beautiful, like a perfect work of art.

Shirahoshi's beauty is not limited to her voluptuous figure, delicate temperament, and exotic pink fishtail.

Her natural and genuine kindness made her so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

Seeing Luo Xia's outstretched hand, Bai Xing hesitated for a moment before slowly extending her own large, fair hand and gently grasping Luo Xia's hand.

"Hello, Lord Rorschach."

Hearing Bai Xing's gentle voice, Luo Xia chuckled, "Just call me Luo Xia, I'm not some adult."

Smiling, he turned to look at Neptune approaching, extended his hand and said with a smile, "King Neptune, welcome to the World Conference. I am Vice Admiral Rorschach of the Navy Headquarters. I apologize for the rudeness of my subordinates."

Neptune quickly reached out and shook hands with Rorschach.

A warm smile appeared on his large, golden-bearded face.

"Vice Admiral Rorschach, what are you saying? Colonel Enel is a very reliable and powerful navy officer. Without him, it would be dangerous for us to face the powerful Kraken. We should be grateful to him for saving our lives."

Rorschach glanced at Enel, who was standing to the side with a rather unpleasant expression.

Seeing his gaze directed at him, Enel smirked, gave a soft snort, and turned away, presenting the back of his head to Rorschach.

Luo Xia was so itchy to fight that he almost couldn't resist beating him up on the spot.

"Lieutenant General Rorschach!"

The naval soldiers on the ship, belonging to Luo Xia's Wind and Thunder Kirin, stood ramrod straight, looking at Luo Xia with shame on their faces.

They felt they had failed in their escort mission and had embarrassed their most respected and admired superior.

This made them feel ashamed of failing Rorschach's teachings.

"Shame breeds courage! Treat every mission as a life-or-death battle, leaving no anomaly or oversight unchecked, so that we can better and more perfectly carry out justice! And that's how we can live longer. This is not only for others, but also for ourselves. Alright, let's continue the escort mission."

Rorschach's smile vanished, replaced by a natural, imposing aura that made Neptune, standing before him, feel a chill run down his spine.

"Yes, Lieutenant General! We will never be careless again!"

The soldiers raised their hands in unison to salute, tears welling in their eyes, and stood even straighter, like javelins.

Even Enel, who had turned around, subconsciously straightened up, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Bai Xing, who was curiously watching this scene from behind Luo Xia, seemed to sense the aura emanating from Luo Xia as well. She immediately shrank her neck in fear, crouched down like a quail, and hid behind Big Brother Shark Star, peeking out her large head that Shark Star couldn't hide, and secretly watching Luo Xia's back.

"Lord Rorschach, how terrifying..."

Shark Star couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this.

Is it scary?

Isn't that obvious?

The man before us is none other than Lieutenant General Lan Lin, whose fame is as high as the sun and whose power shakes the seas.

Those terrifying results were enough to make anyone take them seriously.

Jack the Drought, the thug of the Beasts Pirates who almost killed Jinbe with his hammer, died at the hands of this seemingly gentle young Marine.

The ship was lifted up by a powerful, invisible wind and landed smoothly on the sea.

Cobra quickly had Bell bring the boat closer.

Before the ship even got close, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly, "Neptune, long time no see! How are you feeling?"

Neptune threw his head back and laughed, walked to the ship's side, and waved, "Hahaha, you're not dead yet, King Cobra, long time no see."

A little while later.

Neptune and Cobra, old friends, reunited and went to the side to catch up.

Yun Que and Wei Wei stood side by side, looking up at the timid Bai Xing, their mouths slightly open, lost in thought.

"So cute, so beautiful, the Little Mermaid! She's like someone from a fairy tale. I want to hug her!" Weiwei's eyes were full of stars.

"So white, no, so big, such a huge mermaid! Is this the legendary most beautiful woman in the world, the Little Mermaid Princess? She's so cute! I feel like I'm completely captivated by her." Hibari stared wide-eyed at Shirahoshi's enormous yet flawless body, utterly stunned by her beauty, feeling not a trace of jealousy in her heart.

Three 14-year-old girls stared at each other, wide-eyed.

As if sensing the kindness emanating from Hibari and Vivi, Shirahoshi's fear slowly dissipated.

"Hehe, hello there, I'm Hibari." Hibari gave a sweet smile and extended her right hand.

“I am Vivi, Nefertari Vivi.” Vivi also pursed her lips and extended her hand.

Bai Xing slowly emerged from behind her elder brother Sha Xing, a charming smile appearing on her round, pretty face.

"Hello, I'm Shirahoshi."

Chapter 458 Happy Birthday, Teacher Zefa!

Looking at Shirahoshi, who was timid and hesitant to approach just a moment ago, she was chatting happily with Hibari and Vivi the next moment.

Rorschach couldn't help but smile.

He really enjoyed the cheerful and friendly atmosphere.

Thinking about it carefully, isn't what I've always wanted to pursue precisely this kind of harmonious and peaceful life where everyone can live together in peace and comfort?

Fighting and killing are merely things that must be done to achieve this goal.

A silvery laugh occasionally rang out from the deck, echoing in the gentle sea breeze.

Rorschach walked to the bow of the ship, looking at the enormous Kraken floating on the sea like a small mountain, and stroked his chin, pondering how to prepare this delicious ingredient.

This thing is too big; it will be very difficult to drag it away.

Taking it away is not realistic.

He was going to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, not the Navy Headquarters.

But if he just left this nutritious and delicious takoyaki, which could be easily made into delicious dishes and was enough to fill the headquarters' logistics warehouse, Luo Xia wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

"Eat here? Hmm, that's too much. We can't finish it all in a short time. Besides, there's no one to cook it."

Luo Xia pondered for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he clenched his right fist and tapped it against his left palm.

"That's it! Why don't we just invite everyone over for a takoyaki feast? Any leftovers can be taken back to headquarters to serve as extra food for the soldiers."

Without hesitation, Rorschach immediately greeted Neptune and Cobra, saying he was going to hold a banquet there and invite some people over to eat takoyaki.

Neptune and Cobra, of course, would not refuse.

Anyway, the Holy Land is right in front of them, the Marine Headquarters is right next to them, and Rorschach is here to oversee things, so they are destined not to encounter any danger.

Moreover, there are still a few days until the World Conference, and many kings from various kingdoms are on their way.

They weren't in a hurry to get to the holy site.

Immediately, Rorschach got a Den Den Mushi from Hibari and began dialing the Den Den Mushi numbers of the naval commanders one by one, according to his memory.

With the constant stimulation of lightning power, his cells are highly active and his memory is exceptionally strong.

He can remember every number he has ever seen without missing a single one, such as Den Den Mushi numbers, and associate each number with its respective owner.

"Hey, Professor Zephyr, it's me, Rorschach. Where are you now? I caught the Kraken, yes, that legendary sea monster that's all over the ocean. Come eat some takoyaki, it's just a short distance from the Holy Land, all you can eat!"

"Moshi moshi, Uncle Borsalino, there's takoyaki to eat! Huh? You can't leave, you have to protect the Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land? Those trash [whispering] protect my ass, anyway, it's not far away, come over here, I had Hibari prepare your favorite miso ramen. Uncle Kuzan is with you too, right? Tell him to come over. What? You have to leave one general in the Holy Land? Okay then, we'll pack some for him after we finish eating."

"Grandma Crane~, it's me, Luo Xia. Where are you? Oh, you went to the South China Sea? That's such a pity. I was hoping you could come and try the special takoyaki made by the Kraken of the North Sea. See you next time. It's windy in the South China Sea, so please wear more clothes and keep warm."

“Uncle Magellan… I know you definitely won’t have time to come. It’s okay, I’ll have Lieutenant General Tronz send an octopus tentacle to Impel Down. To Impel Down? Hmm, I should be there in a few days. Yes, it’s for that. Okay, see you then.”

"Grandpa Karp, are you coming to the eating contest? The location is..."

"Marshal Sengoku... I'm sorry, I dialed the wrong number. Oh no, I'm not Rorschach, you misheard me. I'm Enel."

On the deck, Neptune, Cobra, and the others stared, mouths agape, as Rorschach made a series of Den Den Mushi calls, contacting one world-renowned naval commander after another, chatting and laughing without any awkwardness or restraint. They were utterly dumbfounded.

Regardless of gender, whether they are superiors or subordinates, veteran naval officers or rising stars, the young man in front of him could chat and laugh with them.

This performance greatly shocked Neptune and Cobra, who exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's hearts.

As kings of member states, they had seen all sorts of people.

But I've never seen anyone like Rorschach who can get along with everyone like this before.

Even the current supreme commander of the navy, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, probably doesn't have the ability to make all the naval officers laugh and chat freely.

As time passed, the sun, high in the sky, slowly sank towards the west.

Warships from all directions approached Luo Xia's location.

These naval officers, invited by Rorschach via Den Den Mushi, were originally tasked with escorting people to the Holy Land.

Gathering on the sea in front of this sacred place now is not considered a delay in our mission.

On the contrary, some of the kings of the allied nations they were escorting, upon seeing Cobra and Neptune there, and especially upon seeing the stunning White Star, chose to stay and join Neptune's large ship to catch up and chat with the familiar king.
