One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Luo Xia fully displayed the arrogance of youth, leaving Zhan Guo speechless.

"Hahaha, that's right! As long as your fists are strong enough, who cares about any schemes or tricks? Just knock them down with one punch!" Garp completely agreed with Rorschach's words, and they seemed to have a mutual respect for each other.

"Shut up, Garp! Stop misleading people, okay?" Sengoku rubbed his temples, shaking his head in anger. He pulled a stack of documents from his drawer and threw them on the table. "Fine, I won't say any more, Rorschach."

"exist!"

Luo Xia stood up abruptly, sternly straight.

After Sengoku stepped out of the table, he handed the document in his hand to Luo Xia.

"From this moment forward, I officially appoint you as the Commander of the Marine Headquarters' G5 Branch in the New World. From this day forward, G5 will be your battlefield. Your glory and achievements will be earned in the chaotic seas of the New World. This will inevitably be accompanied by blood, sweat, and sacrifice. I hope you will persevere, never forget your original aspirations, and while upholding justice, never lose yourself, becoming a qualified Vice Admiral of the Headquarters, an excellent candidate for Admiral, and an outstanding base commander!"

"Snapped!"

Rorschach raised his right hand, palm facing inward, and saluted.

"Please rest assured, Marshal Zhan Guo, I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

"very good!"

Seeing Luo Xia's serious answer, Zhan Guo patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, pulled Luo Xia to sit on the sofa, and sat down himself.

Sengoku picked up the senbei in front of Garp, popped a piece into his mouth, and chewed it with a chuckle as he looked at Rorschach and said, "Now, let me tell you about some things concerning the G5 branch."

"Hmm." Luo Xia finally got his wish and obtained the power to govern a region, allowing him to make his mark in the new world. He couldn't hide his smile.

"First, I have something to tell you that's a bit troublesome."

Warring States' first words stunned Luo Xia.

"What trouble? Is G5 Island already occupied by pirates? I know that. I'll take care of them when I get to the New World. Unless Charlotte Linlin or Kaido are there, they're all dead!"

Luo Xia spoke with absolute certainty, his words carrying an air of arrogance and confidence.

Now he has the confidence to do so.

Warring States shook his head.

"No, what I mean is, the soldiers in the G5 branch are gone. Apart from the basic military officers and logistics personnel, the headquarters will not allocate any extra soldiers to you."

"Huh? No way? Without warriors, how am I supposed to oversee G5?" Luo Xia was stunned.

Make bricks without straw.

Even if he were incredibly strong, he wouldn't have the time or energy to guard the waters surrounding the G5 branch.

The immense power of an individual is a deterrent force akin to that of a nuclear weapon, capable of determining the course of a large-scale war or striking down the enemy's top leaders.

However, the territories under his command still need to be guarded by a large number of core forces and lower-ranking soldiers.

Otherwise, if he were to do everything himself, even if he were incredibly strong, he would be exhausted.

Not to mention, his current strength is far from being able to compete with the Four Emperors.

He himself also needs a lot of time and energy to improve himself.

Sengoku smiled without saying a word, but Garp, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it any longer. Garp pushed past Sengoku and barged in front of Rorschach, saying loudly, "Stop rambling on and on, Rorschach. Let me tell you, Rorschach, do you know what the composition of the soldiers in the G5 branch has been over the past ten years?"

"Composition?" Luo Xia looked puzzled. "What do you mean? What composition do soldiers have? Aren't they all transferred from headquarters?"

"Of course not." Garp picked his nose. "Eighty percent of G5's soldiers are actually pirates."

"What? Pirates?"

Chapter 474 Return to Impel Down

"Hurry up! Get your hands dirty! Lieutenant General Rorschach is about to arrive. Clean up the port quickly. I don't want to see even a speck of dust on it, lest it displease my most respected Lieutenant General Rorschach."

At the entrance to Impel Down, the deep-sea prison, Hannibal, dressed in a suit and sporting a large belly, was shouting and running around in the crowd, sweating profusely.

On his face, however, was an undisguised joy.

Hannibal never expected that in such a short time, Rorschach, who last came to Impel Down as a colonel, would become a lieutenant general.

Oh no, I mean a candidate for general.

He went from being a subordinate officer to a high-ranking naval figure on par with Magellan in an instant.

The speed at which this identity changed was so fast it was almost like a dream.

That boy hadn't lied to me last time; he really did have special skills for getting promoted.

Hannibal has been losing sleep lately because he didn't latch onto Rorschach's coattails last time. He even dreams about regretting it in the middle of the night, wondering why he didn't go to great lengths to please Rorschach.

"If I had won over Lieutenant General Rorschach last time, I might have been able to ride on his coattails this time, overpower that diarrhea bastard Magellan, and become the warden of Impel Down directly."

Hannibal stood at the entrance, clutching his head and wailing loudly in regret.

Suddenly, a huge shadow enveloped him.

A sinister voice came from behind.

"Hannibal, who are you calling a diarrhea bastard? Huh?"

Hannibal stiffened and mechanically turned his head, only to see a terrifying, horned face looming over him and burping.

Suddenly, a thick purple poisonous fog drifted toward him, causing Hannibal to scream in terror and cover his mouth and nose.

But it was too late.

A few seconds later, he was like a fathead fish that had been brought ashore, his belly bulging, foaming at the mouth, twitching and shaking on the ground.

“Damn Magellan, I must become the director.”

Magellan ignored him and looked at Domino and Little Sadie in front of him, "Has the Gate of Justice opened? Have the prisoners on levels one through four eaten?"

"The door to justice was opened ten minutes ago."

"The prisoners have already eaten. As per your instructions, five times the usual amount of food has been provided this time."

Domino and Satie replied in unison.

“Very good.” Magellan nodded, said no more, and simply stood quietly on the platform at the port, waiting.

Time passed little by little.

After half an hour.

On the misty, wide sea ahead, massive warships appeared, furling their sails, starting their steam engines, churning the water, and sailing toward Impel Down with great momentum.

Magellan glanced around and found that there were eleven warships in the group.

Apart from the lead warship, the rest were all large warships of fifty meters in length, painted in green, with double-layered cannons on both sides of the hull, making them the undisputed war machines of the Navy Headquarters.

On the ten warships, ten rear admirals from the headquarters lined up in a row, each leading one of the ships. Under the guidance of the lead 100-meter-class dragon-headed warship, they slowly slowed down and approached the port.

Upon seeing the dark green dragon-headed warship, the prison guards lined up in the harbor stirred and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's the Wind and Thunder Kirin!"

"I saw in the newspaper that Vice Admiral Rorschach used this warship as a weapon to crush thousands of pirates from the New World to death."

"Using warships as weapons is simply unheard of."

On the dragon head sculpture of the Kirin, a tall figure wearing a snow-white cloak of justice leaped high and landed on the port platform of Impel Down. His clear voice instantly spread throughout the eleven warships docked in the port.

"You stay on the warship, I'll go and select the troops."

"Yes, Lieutenant General Luo Xia!" The ten major generals from headquarters who had been transferred to Luo Xia's command responded in unison.

On the Kirin, Luo held Guiku and leaned against the ship's railing, looking up at the distant sky.

"Doflamingo, are you ready? We're coming."

"Uncle Magellan! Long time no see, you're still as energetic as ever. How's the Kraken takoyaki? How does it taste?"

Rorschach landed with a thud, a bright smile spreading across his face as he looked at Magellan and the others who were waiting to greet him at the port.

"It tasted great, I drank quite a bit that night."

Upon seeing Rorschach, Magellan's usually intimidating face broke into a rare smile.

"Lieutenant General Rorschach!"

"Lieutenant General Rorschach!"

As Rorschach approached, Domino and Sadie both called out to him.

"Domino, Satie, you've both become more and more beautiful in the months I haven't seen you."

Luo Xia smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

"Hehe, Lieutenant General Luo Xia, you really know how to flatter people. Do you know how much I've missed you? Ever since you left last time, I haven't been able to eat or sleep. This time you're here, you'd better treat me well~".

Sadie pulled out a small leather whip from her waist and lashed it in the air in front of her. She gave Rorschach a charming smile, stuck out her pink tongue, and licked her fiery red lips.

"Ahem, next time, next time. I really have something to do this time and can't take up any more time."

Rorschach blushed, coughed, and followed Magellan's footsteps, quickly heading towards the entrance to Impel Down.

Wherever he went, hundreds of prison guards stood straight on both sides, raising their hands in unison to salute, each with a sincere sense of awe on their face.

As they walked, Magellan remarked with a touch of emotion, "Rorschach, your progress is truly remarkable. No wonder you're considered Zephyr's most prized disciple. In less than six months, you've achieved this level. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Rorschach scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "Uncle Magellan, please stop praising me. If you keep praising me, my tail will be wagging in the air."

"Haha, outstanding people deserve praise. Unlike some guys, who are hopeless and can't be praised even if I wanted to."

Magellan laughed heartily, and as he passed Hannibal lying on the ground convulsing, he kicked him in the buttocks, making Hannibal's face turn even more purple.

'Poor Hannibal.'

Looking at Hannibal lying on the ground foaming at the mouth, Rorschach couldn't help but silently mourn for him.

"By the way, is Professor Zephyr... alright?" Magellan's smile faded, and he asked in a low voice.

Rorschach, of course, knew what he was referring to, and laughed, "Don't worry, Professor Zephyr is fine; I've already resolved his inner conflict. As for that Edward Weevil, I'll find an opportunity to take him down later."

"He's a newly appointed Shichibukai, an ally of the World Government and the Navy. It's not appropriate for you to openly say you want to kill him."

"Oh? Is Uncle Magellan trying to persuade me?"

“No,” Magellan shook his head, “I mean, when you kill him, try not to give the World Government any leverage.”

Rorschach was speechless.
