One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

The war that took place in the waters off Totland came and went quickly.

The entire event lasted less than 24 hours.

The final result was a resounding victory for the Navy and a complete defeat for the Big Mom Pirates.

Although the war has ended, the cleanup work continues.

They retrieved fallen soldiers, cleaned up the battlefield, collected supplies, and treated wounded soldiers.

Other handymen began to use local materials on Pudding Island to light campfires and cook.

Clearly, Akainu did not intend to return to G1 immediately, but instead chose to take a short break on Pudding Island before continuing his journey back.

On a broken depression by the coast, in front of a blazing fire, a group of naval officers stared blankly at the familiar, fat head placed beside Akainu.

That's the head of Charlotte Linlin, the ruler of this sea, captain of the Big Mom Pirates, the supreme empress of Whole Cake Island, the world's strongest female pirate, and one of the four emperors of the New World!

Many of the naval officers present felt as if they were dreaming.

Although he had vowed to wipe out the Big Mom Pirates and capture Charlotte Linlin alive to avenge the countless comrades who sacrificed their lives in the G1 Great Battle.

But when it actually happened, and the Navy achieved a great victory with very few casualties, with Admiral Akainu even killing the enemy leader, one of the Four Emperors whose fearsome reputation shook the world, everyone still couldn't help but feel like they were dreaming.

"That was Big Mom Charlotte Linlin! I can't believe she's actually dead."

Onigumo's eyes were filled with emotion, and his gaze toward Akainu became increasingly awe and reverence.

As expected, as long as it's Admiral Akainu, no matter what the enemy is, they will eventually be defeated.

However, it is quite clear that some people attribute Akainu's ability to kill Charlotte Linlin so quickly to Rorschach's support.

Shiliu was one of them.

He had a burning cigar dangling from his mouth, his eyes fixed on Rorschach sitting next to Akainu, as if trying to read every detail from Rorschach's face.

At such close range, Shiryu, with his extremely keen senses, could clearly feel the powerful intimidation emanating from Rorschach.

That kind of aura, similar to that of a predator at the top of the food chain.

After some time apart, the other party's aura has become even stronger.

At this moment, Shiryu knew that he was no longer a match for Rorschach.

The opponent is advancing towards the level of a general.

"Come and eat."

A clear and melodious voice came from not far away.

Hibari carried a large plate of meat, followed by a group of soldiers carrying food. He walked up to Akainu and the others and placed the food on the open ground.

Hibari took two large pieces of meat from the plate and handed them to Akainu and Rorschach respectively. Then he secretly glanced at his father and sat down to Rorschach's left as if nothing had happened.

When she saw the wound on Rorschach's left palm where Katakuri had pierced it, a look of heartache immediately appeared in her eyes. She quickly took out a bandage from her pouch, pulled Rorschach's left hand over and placed it on her lap, and began to carefully bandage it, completely unaware of the dangerous look in Akainu's eyes beside her.

Luo Xia pretended not to see, focusing on tearing at the bone and meat in his hand. At the same time, while Yun Que was bandaging his wound, he used his left hand, which was being held by Yun Que, to scratch her palm.

The little lark shuddered instantly, lowered her head and tried to appear calm, but her face flushed red in the darkness, and her heart pounded like a deer's.

Akainu tore at the piece of meat in his mouth, glancing sideways at Luo Xia's expressionless face, which made Luo Xia feel a little uneasy.

Just as he was thinking about how to alleviate the imminent arrival of the lava fist.

Suddenly, Rorschach and Akainu both frowned almost simultaneously and looked up at the distant sea.

"What's wrong? Has something happened, Admiral Sakazuki?" Onigumo noticed their unusual behavior immediately and asked.

He has always been straightforward; if he has any doubts, he will ask them without beating around the bush.

"I never expected that there would be pirate spies within the Navy."

Luo Xia's words caused everyone present to change color.

Ghost Spider and Doberman immediately understood the meaning behind his words, their brows furrowed, and a murderous intent appeared in their eyes.

Before he could ask another question, Rorschach pointed his index finger in the direction he was looking.

A tiny ray of silver lightning shot from his fingertip and disappeared in a flash.

"Bepo, go and bring him here," Rorschach whispered to Bepo, who was standing behind him.

"Yes, Lieutenant General."

Bepo obediently responded, and his figure vanished from the spot in a flash, rushing into the night.

Soon, when Bepo returned to the group, he was carrying a man whose mouth was crooked, eyes were distorted, and hair was standing on end from being electrocuted.

Judging from the epaulets on this man's shoulders, he is actually a naval captain.

"Mortel! It's you!"

Upon seeing the naval captain being held by Bepo, Onigumo's serious face instantly twisted. He abruptly stood up from the ground, grabbed the naval captain by the neck, pulled him from Bepo's grasp, and lifted him into the air.

"Tell me! What did you just do?"

Onigumo was furious.

Because this naval captain named Mortel was one of his officers, who had fought alongside him for many years and was considered a capable lieutenant of the iron-fisted faction.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the spy for the pirates that Rorschach had mentioned.

This discovery instantly filled Onigumo with shame and indignation.

If one's subordinate generals are traitors, it not only shows that one is useless, but also that they may affect the course of the battle by leaking information.

If this ruins Admiral Akainu's plans, even if I die, I will still be held responsible.

Thinking of this, the veins on Onigumo's hands, which were gripping Mortel's neck, bulged, making a cracking sound as if he might snap Mortel's neck at any moment.

"The person you were talking to just now, it seemed to be Doflamingo? Tell me, what exactly happened? Why are you involved with that guy Doflamingo?"

Luo Xia raised an eyebrow, recalling the series of doubts that had arisen in his mind before, and now he had some guesses.

"Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? You bastard, why don't you hurry up and tell me everything you know? Or do I have to torture you?"

The demon spider, with a ferocious expression, stared at the pale-faced Mortel almost face-to-face and roared.

Under the stern questioning of Ghost Spider, Colonel Mortel still tried to defend himself.

But the moment he met Akainu's cold, menacing eyes, Mortel's mental defenses crumbled instantly. Snot and tears streamed down his face, and he immediately spilled everything he knew.

It turns out that he got involved with the Don Quixote family because he lost a lot of money gambling.

Because of his status as an elite naval officer, Doflamingo not only didn't ask him to repay the money, but also generously gave him a large sum of Berries, allowing him to party in luxury venues during holidays every year.

Mortel initially refused, but Doflamingo offered far too much.

Moreover, the other party had never specifically asked him to do anything, nor had they asked him to leak any classified information from the Navy, which put Mortel's mind at ease.

This contact was made not long ago by someone from the Donquixote Family, who offered him a large sum of Berries before Mortel reluctantly agreed to report the outcome of the war to Doflamingo after it ended.

Mortel thought to himself that what the other side wanted to know was just the unimportant outcome of the war, and even if he told them, it wouldn't be considered a leak of secrets.

So, hoping for the best, he agreed.

That's why the scene just now happened.

Mortel only said a couple of words before hanging up.

The whole thing happened in less than a few seconds, and he specifically chose a black Den Den Mushi that doesn't make a sound, and hid alone far away on the beach.

But I didn't expect that I would still be exposed.

Ignoring the man's cries and pleas for mercy, Rorschach turned to Akainu, asking in confusion, "Uncle Sakazuki, why is Doflamingo so concerned about the outcome of this war? Could it be that he plays some role in it? And Edward Weevil..."

Akainu didn't say anything, but simply waved to Onigumo, Shiryu, and the others.

Onigumo and the others immediately understood and grabbed the wailing Mortel and left.

Rorschach realized that Akainu had something to say, but it wasn't something he could say publicly.

Immediately, he gestured for Bepo and the others standing behind him to leave, then looked at Akainu again, awaiting his next words.

As for Yun Que, she was still huddled beside him, her soft little hand being brazenly held by him. She felt nervous, shy, and happy all at the same time.

Akainu said in a low voice, "This war against the Big Mom Pirates was authorized by the Five Elders. Their goals are twofold: first, to make an example of them and deter the increasingly rampant pirate forces in the New World; and second, to support Doflamingo to take over Charlotte Linlin's position and become the new Yonko. As for Edward Weevil, he was probably just a victim of Doflamingo's scheme; he's nothing but a pathetic wretch."

"Supporting Doflamingo to become one of the Four Emperors?" Rorschach frowned. "With his strength, he can become one of the Four Emperors? The Five Elders aren't joking, are they? Besides, he's currently one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The Five Elders are so generous, willing to go to such lengths to support a great pirate?"

"As long as no one competes with him, it's fine. Dean from the Wang Zhi Pirates has formed an alliance with him, and the other pirates in the New World are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. He will still hold the title of Shichibukai, which means that he will still obey the Five Elders' arrangements."

Akainu tore at the roasted meat in his hand, looking at Rorschach.

“I know you want to kill him, but he cannot be killed. A Celestial Dragon in distress is still a Celestial Dragon, and only a Celestial Dragon can kill another Celestial Dragon.”

“If you kill him, you will die.”

Chapter 513 Kaido, the Sentimental One

The New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.

The enormous skull stood silently on the sea surface, its huge, empty eye sockets emitting bright flames.

In the carved pavilion, Kaido, with a body as strong as a mountain, sat on a large chair, while the tall, voluptuous, full-breasted, supple-waisted, and sweet-looking Black Maria beside him used her slender, white fingers to bandage the exposed wounds on her body.

The wounds on his body were naturally inflicted during his duel with Zephyr on the ice island a few days ago.

Both were at the pinnacle of their strength, and after a fierce battle, the entire island was ravaged by the aftershocks of their fight.

Overall, Kaido has a slight edge, possessing greater stamina and formidable strength.

But Zeff, who has recovered to his normal admiral level with Rorschach's help, won't be much weaker.

Although he was no match for Kaido in pure strength, his powerful and skillful combat techniques and profound Haki allowed him to fight Kaido for three whole days before it ended with the intervention of Garp and King.

Kaido took quite a few punches and kicks from Zephyr and suffered some minor injuries.

Zephyr was also in bad shape; his injuries were even more severe than Kaido's.

Kaido had a great time in the battle on Ice Island and was originally going to return home happily, but he didn't expect to learn from King that the Big Mom Pirates had been defeated and Charlotte Linlin had died in battle.

"Waaaaah! Why? Why?!"

Inside the attic, Kaido was holding a huge wine jug and was wailing loudly with his mouth wide open.

Large tears streamed down his face, flowing down the folds of his cheeks like a waterfall. Quinn and the others standing to the side were trembling with fear, not daring to utter a sound.
