One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Rorschach walked coldly to the pirate who was lying on the ground coughing up blood, looking down at him condescendingly. "Can you tell me why this is happening?"

"Navy...Navy!"

The pirate lay on the ground, trying to struggle to get up, but his injuries were too severe. Many of his bones had been broken by shards of rock, leaving him unable to move. He could only look at Rorschach in front of him with angry and fearful eyes.

For some unknown reason, he suddenly grinned miserably.

"Hehehe, you damned navy bastards, you want to get the young master's secrets out of me? Don't even think about it! If you have the guts, kill me... Aaaaaah!"

Before he could finish his fierce words, the skin and muscles on his chest were torn apart by an invisible current of air.

Then a large amount of air was rapidly squeezed and injected into his blood vessels.

In just a few seconds, the blood vessels all over his body were stretched so much that they bulged out of his skin like earthworms, looking incredibly horrifying.

What followed was excruciating pain that reached the very depths of one's soul.

The pirate felt as if he was being torn apart from the inside out, about to burst.

Luo Xia looked at him coldly and said indifferently, "You don't have to say anything, but believe me, you're not as strong as you say. Tell me everything you know, and I might still be able to give you a quick death."

As he spoke, another gust of air was forced into the pirate's arteries, instantly turning his eyes bloodshot and making his head covered in thick blood vessels, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell.

Such a terrifying sight had already made the residents of Sail Town tremble with fear, even more so than before, cowering on the ground, too afraid to utter a sound or get up.

Only Mia's small face showed no fear, but she stared blankly at Rorschach, whose silver hair cascaded down and whose snow-white military uniform was crackling with silver lightning, somewhat lost in thought.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! Please, spare me."

As Rorschach had predicted, the pirate only lasted for less than five seconds before abandoning his so-called loyalty and revealing everything he knew.

"It was...it was the young master who ordered us to cooperate with Caesar and fulfill any of his experimental requests. This included capturing humans and animals to be his test subjects. This time, we came here to capture a group of children to be used by Caesar for his human enlargement experiments."

"As expected? Caesar's experiments on human giantification and artificial Devil Fruits have already begun in Punk Hazard."

Rorschach flicked his finger, sending out a wind blade that severed the pirate's neck. He then bent down and took out an hourglass-shaped pointer for eternal recording from the dead pirate's chest.

The island's name, Punk Hazard, is engraved on it.

It looks like that island isn't far from G5.

Otherwise, these Don Quixote family pirates wouldn't have come here to kidnap children.

Rorschach was thinking.

Upon seeing that all the pirates were dead, Mayor Hildu hurriedly and carefully got up and stepped forward to pick up his terrified grandson from beside the dead pirates. He glanced at his son Fix, who had been shot dead by the pirates, with a face full of grief before cautiously looking at Rorschach.

“My lord, I am Hildu, the mayor of Sailtown. On behalf of Sailtown, I thank you for saving our lives. If you hadn’t arrived in time, we would all have been slaughtered by these despicable pirates.”

Hildur spoke with tears streaming down his face, his words sincere and earnest, and he even knelt down before Rorschach in gratitude.

Behind him, the residents knelt down and bowed to Rorschach, saying thank you, Lord Navy officer.

Rorschach gave Hildu a cold look.

That icy gaze sent chills down Hildur's spine, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and a great fear rose within him.

"Sir Navy officer..."

He was terrified of following in the footsteps of these pirates.

The naval admiral who appeared before them like a god was truly terrifying.

He was about to say something when he saw that Rorschach had already passed him and was looking at the residents of Sailtown.

"Everyone, please stand up. I am Vice Admiral Rorschach, the base commander of the G5 branch. From now on, this place will return to its proper order. The G5 branch's patrol boats will be sailing in this area at all times to protect everyone's lives and property."

"A Vice Admiral from the Navy Headquarters?"

The residents of Sailtown were all deeply impressed by Rorschach's self-introduction.

It was clear that they had never heard of Rorschach.

Although a newspaper only costs one hundred Berries, the vast majority of people in this world are illiterate and struggle to even feed themselves, let alone afford to buy a newspaper.

Information was scarce here, and communication between islands took a long time. So even the G1 naval battle, which had been going on for some time, was unknown to many places.

Even so, these ordinary people knew just how high a rank a vice admiral in the Navy Headquarters was.

The G5 branch is the largest force in the surrounding waters.

In the past, huge warships could often be seen sailing on the coast of Sailtown.

Furthermore, on several occasions, the town also placed orders for sails with the G5 branch.

Therefore, upon hearing Rorschach say this, people immediately felt relieved.

But most of the gazes directed at Rorschach still carried a sense of awe.

Luo Xia sighed inwardly, understanding that this distance was caused by the vast difference in their status and power.

He didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

As for the somewhat apprehensive town mayor, Luo Xia didn't even want to glance at him.

He had, of course, heard what the town mayor's son had said earlier.

This indicates that at least one previous pirate attack, like the one we are witnessing now, was carried out with the cooperation of Mayor Hildur.

This crime was enough for Rorschach to kill him on the spot.

However, the waters surrounding G5 have not yet fully stabilized.

If Mayor Hildu is eliminated now, the economic order of Sailtown will collapse because there will be no leader.

Knowledge and wealth are all in the hands of the mayor. Kill him, and even if Rorschach wanted to appoint someone else to take over, he wouldn't be able to do as well as Hildu in a short time.

Therefore, he will not kill him now, so as not to disrupt the normal lives of the island's residents.

Just as Rorschach turned to leave for Punk Hazard, a timid voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Merciful God, please... please save my brother Adams."

Luo Xia turned around and saw a little girl in the crowd who was no more than 1.3 meters tall and looked only eleven or twelve years old. She was looking at him with hopeful eyes, her hands clasped in front of her chest, and her face showing a devout expression.

"Mia!" Behind Mia, two elderly people with wrinkled faces and gray hair hugged their granddaughter tightly, afraid of upsetting Luo Xia.

Having lived long enough, they know all too well that even the navy, which represents justice, will most of the time not feel pity for a civilian from whom there is no benefit to be gained.

They are protecting the interests of the majority.

Not a single person.

Rorschach's icy expression melted away, revealing a gentle smile as he stepped forward.

"I'm not a god, and there are no such bullshit gods in this world. I'm a Marine. What's your name?"

Luo Xia had long noticed that among everyone, only this little girl had shown something different from ordinary people.

This difference doesn't mean she didn't show fear of Rorschach.

Even when surrounded by pirates, the little girl only showed sadness, without much fear.

“Merciful God, my name is Mia.” Mia answered softly in response to Rorschach’s gentle inquiry, but still stubbornly referred to Rorschach as God.

Rorschach shook his head, offering no further advice. He simply smiled, patted Mia's head, and whispered, "Okay, Mia, remember, my name is Rorschach, Navy Rorschach. Tell your brother, what happened to your brother Adams?"

“Adams was attacked and captured by pirates three months ago,” Mia said, glancing casually at Mayor Hildu behind Rorschach, but said nothing more.

Rorschach observed her subtle movements and couldn't help but admire her once again.

This little girl named Mia displayed a maturity no less than that of an adult, and even knew not to say anything that would offend the mayor in this situation.

She had clearly heard Fix's self-disclosure earlier and knew that the town mayor was involved in her brother's capture by pirates.

"Don't worry, Mia. I'll go to the pirates' lair next, take down those bad guys, and rescue the kidnapped children. You can stay home and be with your grandparents. I'll bring your brother Adams back safely."

As he spoke, Rorschach took a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and gently placed it in Mia's hand.

"If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, call your brother's Den Den Mushi."

With that, he smiled and nodded at Mia's grandparents, then got up and left.

As he passed Mayor Hildu, Rorschach casually uttered a single sentence.

“Mayor Hildur, I hope no one will die in Sailtown before I return.”

Upon hearing this, Hildur nodded hurriedly and respectfully.

"Rest assured, Lieutenant General! I, Hildur, will absolutely protect everyone in the town and ensure nothing happens to them."

"hope so."

Luo Xia glanced at him indifferently, then with a flicker of his figure, he left Sail Town, crossed thousands of meters of sea, and landed on the Qilin.

On the deck of the Kirin, Luo, Bepo, Palmer, and others were quietly waiting for Luo Xia's return.

On the distant sea, another warship is heading towards Sail Town to help deal with the town's destruction by pirates and the residents they have killed.

At this point, more than two months had passed since they began rebuilding the G5 branch.

During these two months, Rorschach led the G5 branch's naval warriors on numerous missions, clearing out dozens of islands of varying sizes around the branch's territory, and killing and arresting tens of thousands of pirates and slave traders.

After this ruthless purge, G5, under Rorschach's leadership, has finally established a firm foothold on the cruel seas of the New World.

Nowadays, very few pirates dare to set foot in this area.

Because once inside, there is a very high chance that you will be targeted by the terrifying Lieutenant General Bluescale and electrocuted into charred remains by terrifying lightning and sunk into the sea.

Rorschach tossed the record pointer in his hand to Rorschach.

"Sail in the direction the pointer is pointing. Next, we're going to Punk Hazard."

Chapter 487 Punk Hazard

Punk Hazard Island is an experimental base built by the World Government in the New World.

Before Vegapunk officially built and put into use the new research base, Egg Point Island, this island was where Vegapunk and many other scientists worked and conducted research together.

I don't know if it's because of Rorschach's intrusion.

The gas leak that should have occurred on Punk Hazard Island happened a year earlier, in the year 1517 of the Sea Calendar.

The event, in which Kumamoto was supposed to bring his daughter Bonney to the island this year, 1518 of the Sea Calendar, to seek Vegapunk's cure for the Gem Disease, has been brought forward by more than a year.

Sometimes, when Luo Xia calms down and thinks about these changes, he can't help but feel a lot of emotions.
