One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

He gritted his teeth, his thick right arm twisting and spinning in front of him, wrapped in high-level black domineering aura, transforming into a super-fast spinning drill, carrying the high-temperature flames generated by the extreme friction, piercing towards Luo Xia's heart!

"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"

The two were so close that the sound of Rorschach's heart, which shone with a blinding white light, pounding was as heavy as a drumbeat.

"Pfft!"

With a clear, crisp sound, Katakuri's spinning right arm pierced solidly through Rorschach's left palm, which was blocking his way, drawing out a long trail of blood.

The intense heat from the spinning flames even made Rorschach's flesh hiss the instant it pierced his palm.

But Rorschach seemed to feel no pain at all. His skeletal left hand clenched its five fingers, gripped Katakuri's right arm, and pulled him upwards.

Katakuri's towering body was instantly lifted off the sunken ground and soared into the air.

The moment he left the ground, a glint flashed in Katakuri's eyes, and his left arm suddenly swelled up, becoming incredibly thick, like a massive, solid shield, blocking his path.

In the next instant, Rorschach's long right leg lashed out like a guillotine, and due to its incredible speed, it vanished from Katakuri's sight like a phantom.

"Oh!"

The large shield that Katakuri had just conjured shattered with a deafening roar, and a large foot, shimmering with deep blue light, slammed into his chest like a crushing blow.

"Click-click-click!"

Amidst a series of cracking bone sounds, blood spurted from Katakuri's teeth once more, and his tall body flew backward like a cannonball, soaring hundreds of meters into the sky.

On the ground, Rorschach, who looked like a blood-red demon, had blood and qi emanating from his body that were as conspicuous as a burning torch.

With a snap, his menacing tail lashed out, blasting a hole more than ten meters in diameter in the ground, and Rorschach vanished instantly.

Katakuri, suspended in mid-air, had a serious look in his eyes. He bit his bloodshot gums, clenched his fists, and took a deep breath.

His five-meter-tall body swelled up like an inflating balloon, instantly growing into a large sphere with a diameter of more than ten meters.

Countless jet-black, domineering spikes protruded from the surface of the sphere, shooting out in all directions without any blind spots.

"Ultimate Mochi Blade Bullet!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Countless spikes shot out in all directions, creating a sharp whistling sound in the air, like the long whistle of a train on the sea.

"call!"

A blood-red figure sped through the air from the left side of the sky, ignoring the black spikes that shot towards him. The spikes relentlessly struck his body, some being knocked away and broken by his hard bones, while others pierced his skin and embedded themselves in his dense, compressed muscles.

In just two short seconds, countless sharp spikes were embedded in Luo Xia's front body.

But his speed as he raced through the sky did not stop; instead, it increased even more.

The slender body trailed a long trail of bloody energy, leaving a hazy crimson phantom in mid-air, before crashing straight into Katakuri, who had expanded into a giant sphere.

The next moment, Katakuri's body, like a punctured balloon, plunged diagonally into the earth from the sky.

"Boom!"

The ground shook and cracked open like a spider web, and Katakuri's blood-covered body smashed into a huge crater.

At that moment, a clear, dented fist mark appeared on his chest.

The flesh around the fist-shaped mark exploded and tore in a radial pattern, with a large amount of blood flowing out.

"Clap!"

A sharp crack echoed from the ground ahead, and a blood-red figure descended from the sky, exuding a brutal aura that seemed capable of tearing everything apart, coldly gazing at him.

"Ahem... It's been a long time since we've seen a madman like you in the Navy."

Katakuri coughed twice, spitting out bright red blood, and slowly rose from the deep pit in the ground, his explosive aura rising wildly from his tall body.

"To win, they're even willing to burn their lives? That speed is truly..."

"Let's save our chat for when you're completely lying down, Katakuri."

Before Katakuri could finish speaking, a gust of wind swept across the ground in front of him, and a cloud of sand and stones flew everywhere, dazzling the eyes.

Luo Xia, who had been standing dozens of meters away, had appeared in front of him and once again unleashed a punch with countless tendons wrapped around it.

"You think you can defeat me like that? Not so easy! Grilled rice cake!" Katakuri grinned, stepped forward, and threw his right fist at Rorschach's incoming punch.

The extreme speed caused his right fist to ignite as it rubbed against the air, with surging flames spreading across the black surface of his fist.

"boom!"

The two fists collided in mid-air, blowing countless rocks and dirt flying, and the ground trembled as if it could not withstand the aftershocks of the battle.

The next moment, the two of them inhaled almost simultaneously and threw their fists at each other.

Rorschach's two long arms were like a drawn bow, with the tendons on his arms bouncing and making a loud popping sound as the bow was being drawn. In an instant, he threw hundreds and thousands of punches at Katakuri in front of him.

A thousand blows in an instant!

"Fist Bone! Meteor Shower!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Fists wreathed in crimson lightning shot out like arrows, overwhelming Katakuri's entire field of vision.

Katakuri clenched his fists and launched a lightning-fast counterattack, unleashing over a hundred punches in an instant, clashing with Rorschach's incoming fists with incredible precision.

At the same time, on the white, glutinous ground behind him, spinning donuts rose rapidly.

Dozens, hundreds of donuts lifted off the ground and flew into the air, almost filling the entire sky behind Katakuri.

One after another, thick, black, armor-colored arms emerged from the opening of the donut, clenched into fists, and rained down on Luo Xia's body.

"Singing of glutinous rice balls!"

A barrage of massive fists rained down like a storm, striking Luo Xia's body like iron being hammered, causing his tall, thin frame to tremble violently.

But his punches were faster, stronger, and more ferocious than Katakuri's!

One after another, heavy punches wrapped in crimson lightning, carrying unparalleled power, struck Katakuri's body violently, causing him to retreat continuously and leaving large craters in the ground beneath him.

His tall body was also struck by dozens of fist imprints, the fists crackling with lightning, tearing his flesh and burning it.

A terrifyingly high-intensity electric current blasted into his body through the wound, frantically destroying his internal organs and causing blood to continuously spill from Katakuri's mouth.

As the fight progressed, Rorschach's punches became faster and heavier, like burning crimson meteors, relentlessly pounding Katakuri's body, forcing him to retreat step by step and leaving a long trench in the ground beneath his feet.

Rorschach clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles with a loud popping sound. His powerful aura and the last remaining lightning gathered on his fists. The tendons on his arms suddenly swelled, his fingers transformed into black claws, and his entire arm became a thick, massive Qilin claw. He slammed his fists outward, deflecting Katakuri's incoming punches and leaving him wide open.

"You're finished, Katakuri!"

Rorschach roared, and his Kirin Claw, which had expanded several times its original size, smashed the air in front of him. In Katakuri's shocked and furious gaze, he punched him squarely in the chest.

"Overlord Body! Star Shattering!"

"Oh!"

The violent force, like a volcanic eruption, slammed unstoppably into Katakuri's chest, causing a large dent in his chest and a series of cracking sounds from his sternum. Large chunks of flesh on his chest burst open under the massive Kirin claws.

Katakuri's towering body instantly transformed into a shooting star, his back shattering sonic booms and carving a straight chasm stretching over a thousand meters across Oven Island.

Luo Xia, who was standing still, also groaned and swayed slightly.

The lightning power gathered at his heart had been completely exhausted by that punch.

As the electric current that had gathered in his chest dissipated, the vigorous blood and qi surging within his body, like the Yangtze River, immediately subsided and quickly calmed down.

What followed was an overwhelming sense of exhaustion and pain.

His shriveled body gradually filled out, the compressed muscles were released, and he returned to his original shape. Then he shrank back to human form, with no part of his body intact. He was covered in bloody holes, and his left hand was pierced through and the wound was burned.

Katakuri, who had been sent flying hundreds of meters by his attack and was almost blasted out of the Oven Island area, lay amidst the ruins, panting heavily.

Both of them were breathing heavily.

However, Rorschach's condition was clearly much better than Katakuri's at this moment.

He suppressed his exhaustion, took a deep breath, picked up his weapon from the ruins, and strode toward Katakuri.

After catching his breath, Katakuri's murderous intent subsided, and he opened his fanged mouth, revealing a relieved smile.

"You win."

"Are these your last words, Katakuri?"

Luo Xia strode over, his black halberd already raised.

"As a loser, I should accept my death with equanimity, but... I'm sorry, I can't die here yet. The Charlotte family is my mother's life's work, and it can't disappear completely from this world."

Katakuri's words caused Rorschach's expression to change slightly, and he was about to step forward.

But at that moment, he seemed to see a scene before his eyes.

Katakuri lay amidst the ruins, the white earth beneath him solidifying into a vast, smooth mirror. His towering body sank completely down, falling from that solidified mirror into another dimension.

It's Charlotte Brûlée's Mirror-Mirror Fruit ability!

"not good!"

Before he could process what he was seeing, Rorschach lunged forward, slashing his halberd vertically towards Katakuri.

"Shh!"

A dazzling slash, tens of meters long, flew through the air and sliced ​​towards Katakuri's body.

"Hmm? You actually also comprehended the ability to foresee the future? That's truly impressive."

Katakuri was taken aback, his left arm swelled and expanded, grabbing at Rorschach's incoming slash.

Sure enough, the ground beneath him solidified rapidly, forming a smooth mirror-like surface that quickly swallowed his body, making him disappear in no time.

As Katakuri disappeared on Oven Island, the mirror on the ground collapsed, turning into white mochi, and then back into soil.

"Boom."

An arm, severed at the elbow, fell from mid-air and landed on the ground.

A large amount of blood gushed out from the cross-section of the arm, and the fingers that had left the body were still twitching reflexively, as if trying to grab something.

Rorschach spread out his Observation Haki to sense his surroundings, but he was unable to find Katakuri.

Katakuri escaped, but he wasn't angry.

In fact, Rorschach knew that even without Brulee's help, and even though Katakuri had been severely injured, if Katakuri really wanted to escape, he probably wouldn't be able to stop him given his current state of depleted lightning.
