One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"asshole……"

Luo Xia, on the other hand, instantly felt refreshed and his mood improved a lot.

He clapped his hands and shouted excitedly to Palmer, "Pamer! Get them to start the outer wheels, let's accelerate!"

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"

Two hours later.

Luo pressed his hand to his hat, his face grave as he looked up at the dark sky. "Damn it! The weather in this new world is just too awful. Judging by the thickness of these clouds, a huge storm is probably coming soon! Tell everyone to stay close and not fall behind! Storms in the new world are no joke. If something goes wrong and we don't get to the rescue in time, it could have terrible consequences."

Luo's fears soon became a reality.

A dozen minutes later, a howling gale began to sweep across the vast sea.

The seawater was violently churning and rolling, and the thick, dark clouds in the sky resembled a black city wall, almost touching the top of the warship. It was as if the entire sky had collapsed onto the sea, making it difficult to breathe.

Eleven massive and heavy warships, like duckweed, rose and fell with the waves amidst the surging, raging sea.

Even more frightening, a huge whirlpool was slowly forming on the vast sea surface a dozen miles ahead of the warship.

"Turn! Turn! Get away from the whirlpool!"

Amidst the howling wind, the shouts of Palmer and Bepo were barely audible.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, making it difficult for people on the deck to stand.

The pirates were even more terrified, having already retreated into the cabin, gazing in awe at the vast power of nature.

Luo Xia frowned, wondering if he should use his abilities to do something.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in his arms started ringing.

Rorschach took out a Den Den Mushi and connected the call; Sengoku's voice immediately came through.

“Rorschach, listen carefully. The situation on G5 Branch Island has been investigated. It's now occupied by three pirate crews from the New World, all Supernovas who entered the New World a few years ago. Don't let your guard down. I'll have Brannew report to you on the details later. Also, the island's topography has been drastically altered, seemingly by Pica, the stone golem under Doflamingo's command. That damned bastard turned G5 into a mountain, completely destroying the base's terrain that took years to build…”

Through the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku's voice made Rorschach's expression grow even more gloomy.

It's Doflamingo again!

Is that bastard so eager to die?

Rorschach handed the Den Den Mushi to Bepo beside him, ripped off his military uniform, and with a sudden arch and a full extension, his body swelled up like an inflating balloon, instantly transforming into a colossal Qilin beast the size of a small mountain, opening its fang-filled mouth and roaring to the sky.

"Roar!"

The rolling sound waves roared like thunder, soaring into the sky and crashing through the thick clouds. To the astonishment of the naval soldiers, the azure Qilin, a behemoth whose size was comparable to the entire Qilin, strode forward with its four pillar-like hooves, stepping on surging storms, and charged toward the thick, dark clouds that were gradually pressing down in the sky.

In the sky, the inky clouds began to riot as the giant Qilin beast entered.

Amidst the inky clouds, streaks of dazzling lightning flashed and appeared.

The enormous beast stirred up the wind and clouds, its azure scales crackling with shimmering lightning. Wherever it passed, the clouds scattered like ink spreading.

"Boom!"

Thick bolts of lightning tore through the dark sky, shattering the black canopy. In just a few minutes, as the navy men stared in disbelief, the massive clouds that had surged into the sky were dispersed.

The raging winds on the sea also ceased under the pull of an invisible force, turning into a gentle breeze, without the slightest hint of violence.

Without the influence of the storm, the large whirlpool that had not yet formed on the sea surface ahead was slowly dissipating.

Another ten minutes or so later, the sea in front of the Kirin had returned to calm and was completely still.

The group of pirates from Impel Down were so shocked that they were speechless. They looked at Rorschach with the utmost reverence.

"He conquered the natural disasters of the new world! This is Lieutenant General Bluescale, possessing the legendary Qilin abilities comparable to the Azure Dragon!"

.

.

At the same time, G5 branch.

The base, which was originally like Marineford, the headquarters of the Navy, has completely disappeared.

The inner bay, naval port, square, fortress, and gun turrets were all violently destroyed and left in ruins.

The navy spent over a decade and a huge amount of money and manpower building the best defensive terrain, but it was distorted.

A mountain peak, five or six hundred meters in diameter and over a thousand meters high, rises abruptly from the center of the base.

On the surface of this huge, raised hill, you can still see some crooked bunkers and fortresses.

At the top of the mountain, there is half of a fortress.

On the cracked wall at the front, the remaining two large characters for "justice" can still be faintly seen.

But at this moment, the word "justice" was also torn apart diagonally by a huge crack.

At this moment, a carnival is taking place within this half-built fortress of justice.

Thousands of pirates gathered together to eat meat and drink alcohol, laughing and playing drinking games.

Occasionally, a pirate would tell a couple of explicit lewd jokes, which would immediately elicit a cacophony of howls and screams from the surrounding pirates.

In the center of a flat open space, three burly pirate captains—two men and one woman—sat around, eating various delicacies laid out on a silk cloth while talking.

"To be honest, I really dislike this godforsaken place. There isn't even a single entertainment district in the hundreds of kilometers of sea around it. Even if you had money, there'd be nowhere to spend it. I had to listen to that Joker guy's nonsense and come to this lousy place of all places. If you ask me, we should just take the money and leave, and not worry about the rest of this mess. If Joker wants to deal with the Navy, let him deal with it himself. I don't want to get involved in this mess."

The speaker was a burly man who was three meters tall, with arms as thick as his thighs, looking like a walking crab.

He is Nemo, the captain of the Cancer Pirates, a 13-year-old pirate supernova, who has now made a name for himself in the New World and has a bounty of 470 million Berries on his head from the Navy.

Hearing Nemo's mutterings, Viscount Wisend, sitting next to him, elegantly sipped his red wine, curved his bright red lips into a smile, and chuckled, "Heh, Nemo, if you want to leave, no one will stop you. However, you'll have to leave behind your share of the hire fee. Also, the Joker's influence in the underworld is terrifying. You should think carefully about the consequences of offending him."

“Visander is right. Although I don’t like this place either, we can’t ignore the consequences of offending Doflamingo. Besides, it’s rare to find a hiring family as generous as the Donquixote Family. This time, the three of us are being paid a billion Berries each. We only need to stay here for half a month to receive a huge sum of money, and they will provide all our food and supplies without us having to pay a single penny. It’s practically free money.”

Captain Grace of the Banshee Pirates licked her sharp teeth, looking with delight at the large box filled with Berries in front of her. She took out a large bundle of Berries, held it to her nose, took a deep breath, and a look of ecstasy appeared on her beautiful face.

"The scent of Pele is truly captivating. I can't wait to take this money and spend it on the Tezzoro."

"Speaking of which, Joker said that the Navy might come to take back this island soon. Which Vice Admiral from Marine Headquarters do you think will come? Onigumo? Or Momonga?"

"Whoever they are, kill them all if they come during their employment period. After these fifteen days, even if the person who comes is a naval admiral, it has nothing to do with us."

Chapter 479 The First Battle of the New World

Time, amidst the roar of the steam turbines, hurriedly arrived in the latter half of the night.

Guided by the pointer of eternity, Rorschach finally saw the outline of G5 Island under the cool moonlight of the full moon.

On the vast, seemingly endless sea, G5 Island lies silently in everyone's sight, like a colossal black beast.

At this distance, Rorschach's powerful Observation Haki had already allowed him to thoroughly investigate the situation on the island, down to the smallest detail.

They also knew perfectly well that the Cancer Pirates, the Banshee Pirates, and the Lonely Pirates had joined forces, hired by Doflamingo specifically to cause him trouble.

Immediately, Rorschach instructed everyone to prepare for battle while listening to detailed information about the three pirate crews from headquarters, provided by Brannew.

The Cancer Pirates, captained by Cancer Nemo, with a bounty of 470 million Berries, are a Supernova pirate from the year 1513 of the Sea Calendar. He is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, the King Crab Fruit user, and possesses a powerful physique and excellent Armament Haki.

The Banshee Pirates, captained by Banshee Grace, with a bounty of 220 million Berries, are native pirates of the New World. She possesses a captivating singing voice and can control medium-sized Sea Kings through her singing; she is suspected to be a Fish-Man.

The Lone Pirates, captained by Viscount Visander, who claims to be a descendant of Red Earl, possesses formidable swordsmanship and has a bounty of 290 million Berries.

Under the command of the three powerful captains are several vicious pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million.

The three major pirate crews have a total of 1754 members.

This is what Rorschach sensed.

After Brannew finished reporting the details and hung up the communication, Rorschach looked up at Rorschach, Bepo, and Palmer standing in front of him.

"Did you all hear that? These opponents are no weaklings. Pirates who can roam freely in the New World are generally quite strong. Of course, these people are no match for me. But for you three, defeating them will be very difficult. In a three-on-three battle, you're guaranteed to lose. So, I'll choose one of them, and the remaining two captains will be your responsibility. What do you think?"

"No problem, Lieutenant General! I will definitely live up to your expectations. I am determined to become the strongest warrior in Elbaf, and I will win even if it costs me my life!"

As soon as Luo Xia finished speaking, as he expected, Palmer, who was already full of enthusiasm, was the first to stand up, pounding his broad chest like a city wall with a deafening sound, and replying in a loud voice like muffled thunder.

"Are you an idiot? People will die! This is the New World! Compared to the pirates in Paradise, this is like comparing a Sea King to a shrimp. We haven't even awakened Armament Haki yet! How are we going to beat those ferocious pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions of Berries?!"

Seeing Palmer's excited expression, Bepo thought to himself.

But on his furry bear face, there was an expression of approval, and he nodded seriously with a pout, as if he agreed with Palmer's words.

"I'm fine with it, leave the strongest one to me." Luo gripped the Ghost Cry tightly, his eyes gradually blazing with fighting spirit.

Finally, finally, we've entered a new world.

He must improve his strength as soon as possible, otherwise, even if Doflamingo stands in front of him one day, he will not be able to realize his desire for revenge.

"Very good. Then, pass the order: upon reaching the edge of G5 Island, first bombard it with artillery fire to wipe out the pirates on the island, then grab your weapons and launch an attack on the island. This is our first battle in the New World, and we must win it cleanly and decisively!"

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"

Half an hour later, on the top of the hill on G5 Island, outside the only relatively intact room, two pirates guarding the door pricked up their ears, listening to the intense panting that had been going on for more than an hour inside the room. They couldn't help but breathe heavily, their throats bobbing, and they swallowed repeatedly.

"The banshee Grace is really hot. If I could play with her for a whole night, it would be worth dying for." The pirate on the left wiped his drool, feeling hot all over with nowhere to vent his frustration.

"Dream on, she must be blind to even look at you. Besides, I heard it costs 100 million Berries a night to spend with her. Only Captain Nemo has made a fortune these past few days, otherwise, that much money would be enough to rent out the entire Pleasure District for months."

The pirate on the right mocked his companion without any politeness, but in his heart he was cursing his captain for being so obsessed with women that he would spend 100 million Berries to spend the night with Grace. What a spendthrift!

With 100 million Berries, you could buy a decent Devil Fruit if you're lucky.

Just then, the panting in the room suddenly stopped.

The two pirates standing guard at the door exchanged a glance, their expressions revealing a mutual understanding, when the door beside them, along with the thick wall, was smashed to pieces from the inside.

A large pile of pebbles slammed down on the two pirates who had no time to dodge, instantly breaking their bones and sending them flying like tattered sacks.

The sudden loud noise startled the group of pirates who were half asleep on the open ground. They scrambled to their feet and frantically searched for their weapons.

"What happened? An enemy attack?"

A sniper with a flintlock pistol tucked into his belt shouted.

Before anyone could answer, they saw their captain, Nemo, who was as big as a crab that could walk sideways, and Grace, the captain of the Banshee Pirates, both of them, not even wearing clothes and covered in dust, leap out of the rising dust and run towards them.

As they ran, the two captains shouted.

"Everyone, grab your weapons and prepare for battle! The navy is coming!"

"Hurry up! If you don't want to die, kick those guys who are sleeping like dead pigs awake. There are quite a few navy personnel here this time. Don't let us be caught off guard and end up in this godforsaken place!"
