One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

When Hibari told Shirahoshi this fact, her worldview was greatly shaken.

Her kind heart immediately welled up with tears.

Fortunately, Yun Que comforted and advised her, which helped her stop the tears from falling.

With a slight release of his Observation Haki, Rorschach saw the scene beneath his feet.

Beneath this rolling automaton, hunched-over, blood-covered slaves, under the watchful eyes of several whip-wielding overseers, wearily pulled on ropes connected to massive gears, driving the hundreds-of-thousands-ton automaton.

Occasionally, a slave would collapse from exhaustion and be whipped by the overseer.

Luo Xia silently listened to the slaves' heavy breathing and their intense despair, and silently walked forward.

He didn't speak, nor did he use his abilities to disrupt the moving walkway or stop it.

It's meaningless.

Beneath this glamorous exterior of flowers and flowers, evil lurks everywhere.

Automated walkways are just the tip of the iceberg.

Even if its operation is disrupted for now, it may not necessarily be a good thing for these slaves.

They might even be implicated and executed because of this.

However, perhaps for these hopeless slaves, death was the only escape.

Having witnessed the evil and brutality hidden beneath the walking trail, the group lost all interest in appreciating the scenery along the way and only wanted to get to Pangu City as quickly as possible.

But the more this happens, the worse things tend to be, making your mood even worse.

Luo Xia stopped and frowned as he looked ahead. A large group of people was swarming in from the direction of Pangu City.

His eyesight was so strong that even without using Observation Haki, he could clearly see the large group of people appearing opposite him.

As expected, trouble came knocking.

A large group of burly slaves with imposing auras and collars around their necks strode in, driven by several Celestial Dragons dressed in fine clothes and wearing bubble hoods.

The tall Neptune also spotted the group of people who were rushing towards them aggressively at the first moment.

The Celestial Dragons' attire was so conspicuous that Neptune's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

"Lieutenant General Rorschach!"

He looked nervously at Luo Xia, who was standing at the front of the line.

"Don't be nervous, Neptune, I'll handle it."

Rorschach gestured to Neptune to calm down, then stepped forward to meet the oncoming group of over a hundred people.

"This is troublesome, it's a Celestial Dragon." Cobra's expression changed as he looked at Bell behind him. "Bell, take the things and come with me."

“Yes.” Bel carried a stack of beautifully packaged gift boxes and followed Cobra toward Rorschach.

“Neptune, you stay here, I’ll go check it out.” Bobra whispered to Neptune, then waved for the giant Andre, who was following behind Sera, to follow.

Andrei was holding a stack of glittering gold statues, inlaid with various gorgeous gems, which were obviously very valuable.

He was clearly prepared.

Rorschach.

"Brother Luo Xia."

Among the crowd, Luo and Yun Que were the most nervous, fearing that Luo Xia might do something irreversible again.

If the same thing happened in Sabaody Archipelago again, then we're doomed.

This isn't Chambord; it's not so easy to get away from here.

"Shirahoshi! My Shirahoshi!"

"The Little Mermaid Princess, I want the Little Mermaid Princess, no one can take her from me!"

"Saint Charmaco, you're already so old, what do you want with mermaids? You can't handle it anymore, give me the chance, I'm still young, I can still play!"

"Bullshit! How are you going to play with a mermaid princess who's that big? Saint Sotoris, get out of here. I just like this kind of young but big alien."

"Saint Freya! What are you doing here, a woman? You already have several mermaids at home, so don't interfere."

Ahead of Rorschach, several Celestial Dragons, whose appearance was so grotesque that it was unbearable to look at them, were riding on the backs of slaves on all fours, rushing over as if they were afraid that if they were too slow, Shirahoshi, whom they cared about, would be beaten to it by someone else.

Even when they saw Rorschach appear in the middle of the road, they ignored him and showed no intention of stopping.

Luo Xia suppressed the murderous intent surging within him and put on a gentle, spring-like smile.

With a gentle flick of his fingers hanging by his side, the air beneath his feet slowly flowed, compressed and gathered, becoming as viscous as flowing water.

Under the increasing pressure of the air, the horde of slaves rushing forward, kicking up clouds of dust, slowed down little by little. Their bodies became unusually heavy, as if something was holding their feet back, making it very difficult for them to move forward.

"Damn it! Run, you useless piece of trash!"

With Shirahoshi so close at hand, the Celestial Dragon sitting on the slave's back was already impatient to grab her and play with her.

The slaves beneath him slowed down, and they immediately cursed angrily.

A Celestial Dragon pulled out a whip from the slave's back, swung it, and lashed it hard across the slave's bare back.

With a series of cracking whip marks, the slave's body was immediately covered with many messy whip marks.

The whip, covered in tiny thorns and barbs, lashed down, tearing at the skin and causing crimson blood to drip from the slave's body, splattering onto the flat ground below like conspicuous red plum blossoms. The sight made White Star, standing behind, turn pale, and hide behind her father, King Neptune, too afraid to watch any longer.

This is a sacred place, so Luo Xia didn't dare to go too far. He simply used his ability to manipulate the air to compress the air below the waist of the slaves, increasing its density and slowing their movements until they stopped a dozen meters in front of him.

"Distinguished sirs, is there anything I can help you with?"

Rorschach stepped forward and smiled gently.

His gentle smile, combined with his handsome appearance, immediately captivated three of the younger members of the four Celestial Dragons, leaving them mesmerized and stunned.

As Rorschach's smile blossomed, a special power seemed to flow through them, influencing their minds.

In reality, Rorschach released a wisp of his own bioelectricity, stimulating the bodies of several Celestial Dragons without harming them. This caused their endocrine organs to secrete hormones in a short period of time, influencing how the other party perceived him.

This is a new ability that Rorschach has come to understand after further developing his internal electrical abilities.

He had previously used this ability to help seriously wounded soldiers in Branch 177 by stimulating their bodies to secrete adrenaline to prolong their lives.

Bioelectricity is involved in the synthesis and release of hormones. Cells in many endocrine organs synthesize and release hormones after being stimulated by bioelectricity to regulate the body's metabolism and function.

Human feelings and emotions are influenced and driven by these hormones in the body.

At this moment, among the four Celestial Dragons, two men and one woman were affected by the bioelectricity released by Rorschach, attracted to him, and inexplicably developed a lot of affection for him.

However, an older, obese Celestial Dragon remained unaffected. He sat atop a giant slave and coldly glared at Rorschach, shouting, "You lowly wretch! You dare not kneel before a great god? What right do you, a lowly wretch, have to claim you can help us, the great ones?"

Rorschach stood there neither servile nor arrogant, and smiled, "I am Rorschach, a candidate for Admiral of the Marine Headquarters. I am authorized by the World Government to not kneel before the world's nobles. I am the esteemed Saint Charmaco."

"How dare you! You lowly wretch! I told you to kneel down, so you kneel down! I don't care about any authorization from the World Government! And get out of my way, get to the side, don't block my way from capturing the Mermaid Princess!"

Charmaco urged the giant slave sitting at his feet to step forward, walked up to Rorschach, raised the black whip in his hand, and lashed it at Rorschach's head.

"Snapped!"

The whip snapped with a sharp crack at the end. Rorschach remained motionless, letting the long whip, covered in spikes and barbs, fall, causing gasps of surprise from the crowd behind him.

"Hehe, you're blocking my way, I'll beat you to death!"

Charmaco Saint grinned maliciously.

But soon, the smile on his face froze.

Because the black whip he was holding had exploded, leaving only a bare handle; the spikes and barbs on the whip had all disappeared.

“You…” Saint Charmaco’s face twisted with rage, trembling with anger, and he was about to order the giant slave sitting beneath him to take action.

"Saint Charmaco! Saint Charmaco! Hehehe, do you still remember me?"

Cobra walked up with a big smile and came to the giant slave sitting in front of Saint Charmaco, tilting his head up and smiling as he greeted him.

“It’s you, Cobra.” Saint Charmaco glanced down at Cobra and snorted coldly. “What? Are you going to stand up for this lowly commoner?”

Cobra is a descendant of the twenty kings who created the World Government eight hundred years ago. Although he chose to withdraw from the Holy Land, he is still considered a rather special case among the many member states.

Furthermore, given its vast territory and status as one of the world's leading powers, Alabasta still wields some influence within the world government.

Some of the more good-natured Celestial Dragons would occasionally give him some face.

However, it was only a matter of saving face.

“Saint Charmaco, what are you saying? How could I be qualified to stand up for him? I only came to greet you because I saw Your Excellency Saint Charmaco from afar. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. Bell! Bring the gift here.”

Cobra smiled, took several gift boxes from Bell's hands, and presented them with both hands. "Saint Charles, I heard that your ladies are very interested in my violet perfume produced on Saint Martin Island. I specially commissioned the best perfume factory on Saint Martin Island to produce these unique and precious perfumes with the finest perfume raw materials, working overtime to ensure that your ladies will like them."

“Oh? Not bad. My fourteen wives did mention wanting to buy perfume from St. Ting Island. Cobra, you did a good job. But…”

Charmaco Saint made the giant take the perfume that Cobra had brought, his eyes turning fierce as he looked at Rorschach.

Just then, Popra, a fat man with a fawning smile on his face, squeezed through the crowd. While having Andrei, who was following behind him, present a golden statue inlaid with jewels, he took out a bottle of golden liquid from his pocket and handed it to Saint Charmaco.

"Saint Charmaco, do you remember me? I am King Poplar of the Kingdom of Saint Poplar. I have brought you this ancient golden statue from the legendary land of Shandora, which is said to be the source of the legend. Also, I have this priceless treasure, which is the result of extracting the essence of countless strong animals. It is the ultimate magic oil that can restore any man's virility and allow him to dominate the battlefield. Please accept it, Saint Charmaco."

"Hmm? Ultimate Divine Oil?" Charmaco's eyes flickered, the ferocity on his face relaxed, and he looked at the glass bottle that Poplar had handed him.

“That’s right, you know. Just one drop and you’ll be stronger than the giants of Elbaf.” Poplar grinned slyly.

"Hehe, hehehe, good, good, I like your gift, Popra." A bright smile appeared on Saint Charmaco's old face as he reached out and took the bottle of divine oil, playing with it in his hands as if it were a precious treasure.

Seeing that the Celestial Dragons who suddenly appeared were all stunned and did not continue to approach, Hibari and the others quickly led Shirahoshi and Neptune across the rolling automatic walkway, trying to go around to the right.

While Poplar and Cobra were trying to amuse Charmaco, they winked at Rorschach, signaling him to leave quickly and that they would handle things here.

Luo Xia nodded slightly, abandoning his idea of ​​releasing another wave of bioelectricity.

Just as he was about to leave, Saint Charmaco, sitting on the back of the giant slave, lewdly played with the divine oil in his hand, pointing at the departing Shirahoshi and giving a lewd smile.

"Hehehe, perfect! With this bottle of magic oil, I can finally have a good taste of mermaids. Quick, get her and catch that mermaid!"

Everyone's expression changed upon hearing this.

Neptune, Shark Star, and the others looked panicked and protected Shirahoshi as they sped away.

But they are mermaids, and their bodies are huge and bulky, with fish tails as their lower bodies, making it too difficult for them to move quickly on land.
