One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Being able to save one of his arms is already a significant achievement.

Rorschach's lips curled slightly as he turned to look at Pudding Island, which was opposite Oven Island.

There, Charlotte Linlin was engaged in a fierce battle with Akainu.

"Katakuri, you escaped, but your mother is doomed today."

Chapter 504 Default! Charlotte Linlin, Alone and Helpless

Marineford, Naval Headquarters.

In the office, Sengoku, Brannew, and Vice Admiral Tsuru sat around the coffee table, quietly looking at the new world map on the table.

On the map, there are four large, intertwined red areas and a scattered blue area.

The red areas represent the territories occupied by the four sea emperors of the New World.

Blue represents the navy's base in the New World.

Of the four pirate emperors who stand at the pinnacle of the New World, Whitebeard's territory is the largest, with numerous islands and towns under his command, as well as several non-affiliated countries.

Kaido of the Beasts occupies the second largest territory, with his main base in Wano Country in the middle of the New World.

Shanks, who just became one of the Four Emperors, has the smallest territory and the fewest core members in his pirate crew. However, the power of his affiliated pirate crews has grown rapidly in the past two years, and they even seem to be surpassing the other Four Emperors.

Even Elbaf, the strongest village in the world, has a close relationship with him.

Finally, there's the Big Mom Pirates, who are currently battling the New World Navy forces led by Akainu during this conflict.

Charlotte Linlin's territory comprises thirty-five islands under the control of Whole Cake Island, and is closest to Kaido's territory. While their relationship isn't exactly bad, minor and major conflicts are common.

The three remained silent in the office for a long time. Sengoku let out a long sigh, took off his thick round-framed glasses, rubbed his sore eyes, and looked at the Navy's bases that were being recaptured and rebuilt in the New World. He said in a deep voice, "Zeff and the others have already gone there?"

"Yes, Admiral Aokiji, Admiral Kizaru, Admiral Zephyr, and Vice Admiral Garp have arrived at the G13, G17, and G26 branches respectively, and have stated our position to Whitebeard, Shanks, and Kaido. As long as the three parties do not participate in the war, our Navy will not intervene. The war in the Whole Cake Island waters will be handled by Akainu and Charlotte Linlin; no one else should interfere."

Brannew answered quickly.

"What about Whitebeard and the others' reaction?" Sengoku pinched his brow, wondering how many more brave soldiers the Navy would lose this time.

Brannew, holding the papers in his hand, said somewhat nervously, "Whitebeard and Shanks haven't made a move; they've remained silent, but Kaido..."

"What's wrong with Kaido? Does he still want to fight us? Aren't the deaths of one Drought and two Flying Five enough?" Sengoku's face was gloomy, and he was clearly in a bad mood.

Seeing Sengoku's grim expression, Brannew became somewhat apprehensive, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. This made Sengoku increasingly impatient, and he was about to reprimand him when he heard Vice Admiral Tsuru say in a deep voice, "As for the Beasts Pirates, although there is no large-scale war operation, Kaido himself wanted to come and help the Big Mom Pirates because he had received a favor from Charlotte Linlin in his early years. However, he was stopped by Zephyr, and the two are currently fighting one-on-one on the Ice Island."

"A one-on-one fight? Kaido versus Zephyr? Are you kidding me? Where's Garp? What's he doing?!"

The corners of Zhan Guo's mouth twitched, and his hands, resting on his lap, trembled.

Vice Admiral Tsuru shook his head and smiled wryly, but still comforted him, "Don't worry, ever since Zephyr was taken to Vegapunk's lab by that kid Rorschach, his physical condition seems to have improved a lot. His strength has returned to the level of an admiral. Even though he is slightly inferior to Kaido in terms of physique, with Garp by his side, there's no need to worry about Zephyr getting into trouble. Letting them fight is good, lest Kaido really runs to Totto Land. If that happens, things might really escalate and turn into a second G1 Great Battle."

After hearing Lieutenant General Tsuru's words, Sengoku leaned back on the sofa, somewhat annoyed, his brows furrowed.

In fact, Sengoku himself did not approve of the Navy's major operation against the Big Mom Pirates in the New World.

He still believed that the navy should develop steadily and should not fight head-on with pirates in the New World, especially when fighting in their home base.

This operation was orchestrated by Akainu and approved by the Five Elders, bypassing him, the Fleet Admiral.

Akainu's insistence on exterminating all pirates is still disagreed with by many in the Navy's high command.

The older generation of Marines, including Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr, as well as Aokiji, Kizaru, and others, did not approve of this extreme approach.

However, the Five Elders' support for Akainu meant that even if Sengoku and the others wanted to oppose him, they had no right to order Akainu to stop the operation.

Coupled with the public outrage sparked by the heavy casualties suffered by the naval soldiers in the last G1 naval battle, a large number of admirals and marines harbored resentment towards pirates.

Among these people were even many neutral and dove generals.

After the great naval battle, these generals, driven by a strong desire for revenge against the pirates, became increasingly extreme in their actions against them, leading to several massacres of pirates.

The excessively extreme and bloody methods caused panic among people around the world.

Rather than letting these people continue to hold sway in Paradise and the Four Seas with hatred in their hearts, it would be better to send them to the New World to join Akainu in taking revenge on the pirates. That might alleviate their intense hatred.

Otherwise, Sengoku was genuinely worried that the new generation of Marines, stimulated by that environment filled with hatred, would all evolve into extreme personalities like Akainu.

That outcome was definitely not what he wanted to see.

Especially Rorschach.

The Bluescale faction, led by Luo Xia, is now gradually taking shape and is rapidly rising in power.

Rorschach himself, needless to say, although still very young, has already gained prestige in the Navy second only to a few admirals, making him a genuine leader of the new generation of naval leaders.

His young generals, Law, Hibari, and Enel, although still considered immature by Sengoku, possess undeniable talent and potential; anyone could see that they would become either generals or elite lieutenant generals in the future.

If even they are led astray by Akainu...

"Sigh, I really don't know what the future of the Navy will be like."

Zhan Guo suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Why worry about things so far ahead? We old guys just need to do our jobs. The future of the navy will naturally be steered by young people. You have to trust Rorschach. Isn't what that young guy insists on quite to your liking?" Vice Admiral Tsuru gave a gentle smile.

Zhan Guo rolled his eyes and said, "It's precisely because that brat is so unreliable that I'm so worried! I'm afraid he'll lead us old guys astray."

The New World, Wano Country waters, Ice Island.

On the icy, snow-covered island, towering snow-capped mountains were pounded and shaken by violent impacts. The thick ice and snow that covered the entire mountain peaks cracked open in large sections as the mountains trembled, turning into avalanches like flash floods, roaring down the mountainside.

At the top of the snow-capped mountain, two figures, one large and one small, collided violently like two shooting stars.

Each collision triggered a massive explosion, causing the entire island to tremble violently, as if it were experiencing a continuous earthquake.

The island's surface, covered in ice and snow, has developed countless large cracks.

On the sea surrounding the island, a small number of pirate ships and warships were drifting with the current amidst waves of storm-like shockwaves, constantly retreating and moving away from the island.

At the bow of the Azure Dragon, Quinn, covered in fat, watched the earth-shattering battle unfolding on the island through binoculars. His fat face trembled violently, clearly terrified.

"Hey! Are you kidding me? That old bastard Zephyr is actually this strong? He can actually fight Kaido for so long? How did he get his arm cut off by Whitebeard's stupid son back then?"

"There are no weaklings who can become a naval admiral, let alone a guy who is an instructor who has trained countless powerful naval commanders."

Jhin, clad in black leather armor, crossed his arms, his voice cold and unwavering.

"As for having his arm severed, humph, so what if he's strong? As long as he still has humanity, there will be weaknesses to be found. Black Arm Zephyr's weaknesses are too obvious, aren't they?"

Chapter 505 Rampage! Akainu VS Charlotte Linlin!

On the turbulent sea, the massive Kirin warship charged forward, cutting through the blockade of Charlotte Linlin's pirate crew's ships, heading straight for Charlotte Linlin's New Singing Queen.

Charlotte Linlin, a bloated and obese woman resembling a mountain of flesh, stood at the bow of the Singing Queen. Upon seeing Akainu standing on the Kirin, her face instantly turned furious. Without a word, she summoned the Soul Homie Napoleon and unleashed the most famous move from the Elbaf Giant Village at the oncoming Kirin.

"The Spear of Elbaf! Mighty Nation!"

"boom!"

The greatsword, over ten meters long, crashed down with a deafening roar, unleashing a magnificent blade of light that blasted a straight, massive trench into the sea in front of the Queen, resembling a sunken ocean trench that rapidly extended towards the location of the Kirin.

The violent shockwave shattered hundreds of tons of seawater, turning it into a torrential downpour.

On the advancing Kirin, Akainu gave a deep order, "Alright, you all go do what you need to do. I'll take care of Charlotte Linlin."

Without waiting for Yun Que and the others to respond, his burly body leaped high from the Kirin, his right fist, gloved in black, clenched, emitting billowing black smoke and dazzling red light.

Large amounts of magma began to gush from his right hand, erupting like a fountain. As Akainu threw a punch, it transformed into a giant magma fist the size of a house, trailing a long trail of fire, and blasted towards the oncoming shockwave.

"A massive fireball!"

Charlotte Linlin's powerful attack was directly blocked by Akainu's massive volcanic eruption. A large area of ​​scorching magma exploded in the air above the sea in front of the Kirin, falling into the sea with a hissing sound and quickly boiling the sea surface within a radius of several hundred meters.

The enormous impact jolted the rapidly moving Kirin to a sudden halt.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Palmer quickly turned the rudder, slightly changing the direction of the Kirin, and rushed past the Queen from the side. Soon, it drew a long arc on the wide sea and turned to charge towards the chaotic battlefield behind, leaving Akainu alone to face Charlotte Linlin.

"Mommy, magma brat, this time, die in Tottoland! Maybe your Magma Fruit will be reborn in the waters of Tottoland, Prometheus! Hera!"

Charlotte Linlin looked at Akainu, who was flying towards her using Moonwalk, and a ferocious smile appeared on her face.

The two floating thunderclouds and fire clouds overhead expanded rapidly, instantly transforming into two cloud masses tens of meters in diameter.

One ball of lightning flashed brightly, while the other transformed into a raging fireball, both radiating terrifying energy fluctuations.

As Charlotte Linlin swung her hand down, she unleashed a barrage of burning fireballs and thick bolts of lightning at Akainu in mid-air.

At the same time, the greatsword Napoleon in her hand did not stop, and she slashed horizontally at Akainu's location.

With Charlotte Linlin's terrifying strength, even a seemingly casual slash can instantly unleash a massive strike hundreds of meters long, as if it were about to slice through the sky in front of her.

Despite Charlotte Linlin's overwhelming barrage of attacks, Akainu's expression remained utterly indifferent.

He stopped using the Moonwalk and transformed his lower body into rolling lava, like an erupting volcano, and crashed headfirst into the fireball shot by Prometheus.

"Bang bang bang!"

One after another, the blazing fireballs exploded and shattered, turning into specks of flame that spread across Akainu's body, but had no effect on him whatsoever.

The lightning bolt that struck down from the other side was completely blocked by the Armament Haki armor covering Akainu's body. It exploded on his body, turning into streaks of lightning that scattered in all directions.

"Pfft!"

Napoleon's massive sword slashed across Akainu's body, cleaving his charging form in two.

Before Napoleon could utter an excited sound, the red magma stuck together at the cut opening of Akainu's body and instantly returned to normal.

Having broken through Charlotte Linlin's obstruction, Akainu had already flown above the Singing Queen, a cruel smirk playing on his lips. His right fist glowed bright red as he unleashed a terrifying magma punch downwards.

"Charlotte Linlin, have you lost your mind to this extent after losing so many sons? Dreaming in broad daylight. Oh, right, I remember you had a son with Observation Haki that allows him to see the future. What? Didn't he foresee your death?"

The surging, fiery red magma, carrying enormous heat waves, poured down from Akainu's right hand onto the Queen's Ship like a crimson waterfall.

In the blink of an eye, the mast and cabin of Charlotte Linlin's newly built pirate flagship shattered under the impact of the lava and began to burn, emitting large bursts of flames.

"You sharp-tongued mad dog! I'll kill you!"

Charlotte Linlin was hit where it hurt, and her eyes flashed with ferocity. She grabbed the thundercloud Hera above her head and pulled it into her hand. Facing the massive amount of magma that was blasting towards her, she raised her hand and unleashed a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket.

"Shock and control thunder!"

The massive lightning bolt moved at extreme speed, shooting out like a beam of light.

"boom!"
