One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

The scene was so lively it was almost frightening.

Even Yun Que and Weiwei stepped forward and bought two copies.

Shirahoshi was also given a free copy.

When Luo Xia saw the photos in the album, showing himself in all sorts of incredibly embarrassing and aloof poses, he was completely speechless.

He slowed his pace, glancing sideways at Bobra, who was grinning from ear to ear because of the photo album's booming sales, and noticed that the fat man was starting to sweat.

“Dear King Bobra, I think I need an explanation.”

Seeing the dangerous aura emanating from Luo Xia's face, Bobra swallowed hard and awkwardly held up three chubby fingers. "Thirty percent. I'm willing to offer thirty percent of the profits as a token of my exclusive authorization from Lieutenant General Luo Xia. What do you say?"

Rorschach held up five fingers. "Fifty percent."

“No, 50% is too much, Lieutenant General Rorschach. You probably don’t understand what a 30% profit means. Let me put it this way: you don’t have to do anything, and you can make two billion Berries a year.”

"So many?" Bobra's words made Rorschach gasp.

He never imagined that he would achieve financial freedom in this way.

Bobra raised his chin smugly and said:

"Of course, you don't yet realize just how famous you are in the amusement park."

Former Navy hero Garp is getting old, and nobody's willing to pay a high price for his photobook.

But you're different, hehe. I've already partnered with Jonathan and built factories in several locations within the park to print your stories, picture books, and photos. And quite a few places are vying to work with us.

By the way, we also have a factory in Water Seven. Just a few days ago, Fleet Admiral Sengoku of the Navy specifically approached me to collaborate on printing a new story about the evil legion versus the hero Rorschach.

Oh, and he also asked for 20% of the profits, saying it was an exclusive authorization from the Navy, and that he had already obtained your consent.

Rorschach was speechless.

That old bastard from the Warring States period actually did this behind my back, and tried to take advantage of me for free without my permission.

“30%! But you must promise not to print any overly explicit photos, otherwise…” Rorschach clenched his fist, making a crackling sound, which startled Bobra and made him shrink back.

"Hehe, then... then you're going to lose a lot of profits. You know, a lot of women like that, hehe." Bobra grinned slyly, making Luo Xia want to punch him.

Having reached a verbal agreement, Rorschach seemed to be getting to know Bobra in a new light, scrutinizing his obese belly from head to toe. "How did you come up with this? And who is the person in this photo? A Devil Fruit user?"

"Hehe, he's a three-star hunter who recently joined the Bounty Hunter Guild. He's a Paramecia-type Slime-Slime Fruit user, so he can roughly imitate other people's appearances through photos and information. Of course, compared to you, there's still a big difference in terms of temperament. Look, since we've reached a cooperation agreement, how about we find some time for you to come and have a set of photos taken?" Poplar suggested smugly, then shamelessly offered.

"No way, don't even think about it."

Luo Xia rolled his eyes, left the fat man behind, and strode towards the floating elevator that appeared ahead.

Soon, the group made their way through the crowded streets and boarded a spacious elevator, joining several people from other kingdoms as they ascended towards the top of the Red Earth continent, thousands of meters above the ground.

Speechless all the way.

It took more than an hour for the elevator carrying everyone to ascend to the Red Earth Continent.

A group of world government officials dressed in black suits stood respectfully in front of the wide road, waiting.

"Distinguished guests from the Dragon Palace Kingdom, Alabasta Kingdom, and Saint Poplar Kingdom, welcome to Mary Geoise. Please follow us to the rest area in Pangaea City. Accommodation and lunch have been prepared for you. Other kings will be arriving soon."

Cobra and the others were already used to what they were seeing.

However, Shirahoshi, Hibari, and the others were visiting Mary Geoise for the first time and were already awestruck by the magnificent sight before them, which resembled a city in the sky.

This was also Rorschach's first time here.

Looking up, what comes into view is a lush green landscape with flowers everywhere, and various exquisite and beautiful buildings lined up one after another, neatly divided and arranged.

At the end of a winding, avenue leading to the heavens, a massive castle looms in and out of sight amidst the misty, ethereal clouds.

Chapter 463 Crouching Dragon and Tiger, Pangu City

Putting aside his negative impression of the Celestial Dragons, this sacred city perched atop the world is undoubtedly the most magnificent city Rorschach has ever seen since arriving in this world.

A wide, flat avenue, hundreds of meters wide, leads directly to the center of the holy site, Pangu City.

The avenue is lined with neatly trimmed and beautiful green vegetation, interspersed with flowers, exuding vitality and filling the air with a fresh floral fragrance, completely eliminating the feeling of oxygen deprivation I experienced when I first visited the Sky Island.

Blue and white domed buildings are partially hidden among the lush green grass, and occasionally you can see the holy land's residents dressed in various gorgeous costumes living in them.

Stepping onto the Heavenly Avenue of the Holy Land and passing through the first gate checkpoint to officially enter the Holy Land, Rorschach subconsciously released his powerful Observation Haki to sense the various auras around him.

Of course, to avoid being discovered, he did not use the amplification of lightning power, but simply used Observation Haki to sweep across an area of ​​more than ten kilometers.

In just a second or two of perception, Luo Xia's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart trembled violently.

Before arriving here, he had already made a rough estimate of the number of powerful individuals hidden here.

The Five Elders, the Knights of God, and others together numbered more than ten.

Including Im, and some hidden holy sites whose secrets have not yet surfaced, the number of truly powerful individuals here should exceed fifteen.

But upon closer inspection, Luo Xia was still deeply shocked.

He had never met the Five Elders, but the five powerful auras gathered together in the building in the center of Pangu City, which were in no way inferior to those of a Navy Admiral, must be those of the Five Elders.

Rorschach had always thought these five powerful figures, who only ever appeared in comics posing in various ways, were merely decorative figures.

But unexpectedly, he was also a terrifyingly powerful individual with all sorts of bizarre transformation abilities.

Beyond Pangaea City, in the district where the Celestial Dragons reside, there were powerful life force fluctuations from no fewer than ten people.

One of the auras was somewhat familiar to Luo Xia; it was none other than the ancient saint Fugaran Green, whom he had met once before.

Therefore, that should be the Celestial Dragons' strongest defensive force, the Knights of God.

Besides these two places, at the end of the main road directly ahead, in the square in front of the towering Pangu City, there were also several exceptionally powerful auras.

Rorschach sensed Kuzan's presence there.

But it's not over yet.

Rorschach turned to look at the left and right sides, which were the surrounding holy land residential areas.

Surprisingly, there are many powerful life forms within this place, with several of them being exceptionally prominent, no less than those of a general.

This discovery sent chills down Rorschach's spine.

According to Luo Xia's own estimation, his current strength is already close to that of a general.

It's tanky enough, but its attack power is still lacking.

But here, within a radius of just over ten kilometers, there are nearly twenty people whose aura surpasses his.

Rorschach did not sense Im's presence.

The comic says that He is among the flowers deep in the holy land, quite far from here, and Rorschach doesn't dare to explore it easily.

Seeing that Rorschach was focused on the buildings on the right, Cobra whispered, "Those are where World Government officials live, the natives of the Holy Land, CP personnel who serve the Celestial Dragons, and some high-ranking officers of the Army, another major armed organization under the World Government."

“The Army?” Rorschach’s expression shifted.

Cobra nodded. "Yes, the Army. This is a powerful army of the World Government stationed in some member states, responsible for resolving troubles on land. It is said that they are the ones responsible for suppressing revolutionary armies around the world."

"How strong is the army? How does it compare to the navy? Does it also have generals and marshals?" Luo Xia asked with some curiosity.

Rorschach knew about the Army.

The World Government has three major armed forces: the Navy, the Army, and the Holy Land Guardians.

The navy is responsible for suppressing the seas, the army for the land, and the Holy Land Guard is responsible for guarding the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, Steel Bone Kong, is the supreme commander of these three armies and reports directly to the Five Elders.

But apart from the navy, Rorschach had not gained an in-depth understanding of the structure of the other two armies.

I had only heard about it from the Warring States period. The Knights of God were the top officers of the Holy Land Guard, and there were many powerful figures among them who could rival generals.

"Of course, there are marshals and generals in the army. I don't know exactly how strong they are, but they should be weaker than the navy, but not too bad either. After all, it is this group of people who are currently fighting against the revolutionary army led by Dragon."

Cobra sighed, looking at the towering Pangaea Castle ahead. "Such a powerful navy is just one of the World Government's armies. You can imagine how powerful they really are. This is the source of the Five Elders' confidence in ruling the world."

'No, it's Im.'

Luo Xia replied in his mind.

Retracting his Observation Haki, Rorschach stopped probing his surroundings.

A strong person who is perceived by Observation Haki will feel it.

Luo Xia could sense that in the short time it took to casually sweep around, his location had already been swept by no less than ten streams of Observation Haki from various directions.

This demonstrates the strictness of the security in this area.

I really don't know how Sabo and the others managed to infiltrate the Holy Land and escape successfully in the manga.

At this moment, Bai Xing and the others who were walking ahead stopped and looked curiously at the wide track that was moving forward at a constant speed in the middle of the road.

They saw a group of richly dressed guests, who seemed to be from other kingdoms, standing on it chatting and laughing. Their feet were not moving, but they were being carried forward by the conveyor belts, without having to walk at all.

An official in a black suit is giving an introduction.

"Distinguished guests, this is the sacred site's automated walkway. Simply stand on it and you will be transported to Pangu City without lifting a finger."

As he spoke, he pointed to several connecting poles erected along the walkway, "Those using it for the first time, please hold on tight to these poles to avoid falling due to inertia. However, after riding it a few times, this problem will not occur. Princess Shirahoshi, Princess Vivi, would you like to come up and give it a try?"

"Really? That's amazing! I've never seen a road that moves on its own before." Bai Xing bent down and approached the moving walkway, curiously watching the path slowly moving forward.

She was somewhat eager to try.

Shirahoshi turned to look at Neptune, wanting to get her father's opinion.

Vivi didn't stand up, because she saw Cobra gently shaking his head at her.

Vivi was a little confused, but seeing that Luo Xia didn't go up either, she followed the others onto the path next to the moving walkway.

Luo, walking at the back of the crowd, looked at the rolling conveyor belt with disgust in his eyes.

Enel squinted, his face expressionless, with a playful smile on his lips.

This place truly took slave culture to its extreme.

Seeing the eagerness on Shirahoshi's face, Hibari, who had sensed the scene below the automated walkway with his Observation Haki, flew to Shirahoshi's ear with a somewhat displeased expression and whispered a few words to her.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xing turned pale with fright and hurriedly moved away from the automatic walkway to follow Luo Xia and the others.

She never imagined that this so-called automated walkway would be created by hundreds or thousands of slaves pulling it manually from underground.
