One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

The colossal stone giant, towering two to three hundred meters high and jutting out from the coast of Sailtown, was blasted apart by Rorschach's lightning-fast punch, exploding into countless fragments.

The fist force, crackling with electricity, carved a straight trench in the sand in front of Rorschach, flattening the protruding stone giant in front of him.

He flashed and rushed into the countless shattered rocks that filled the sky.

When he rushed out again, he had already grabbed the unconscious Pika in his hand and casually threw him onto the beach.

Looking at Pika, whose limbs were broken and whose bones were missing, Rorschach's lips slowly curled up.

"Now, Doflamingo, what will you do?"

Chapter 525 CP0 Becomes Pirates' Dogs

Dressrosa.

The bustling bullfighting arena was filled with tens of thousands of pirates who had joined the Donquixote Grand Fleet, surrounding their captain, the Four Emperors Yaksha Doflamingo, who was watching the battle taking place on the central stage with great interest.

Some pirates, unable to suppress their fighting spirit, will choose to enter the arena and fight against the gladiators raised there when the mood strikes.

In the arena, the battered King Riku and Rebecca, under Violet's protection, struggled against the ferocious gladiators and pirates surrounding them.

Rebecca looked at Violet, who was so exhausted from protecting her that she could barely stand. Her usually strong expression finally crumbled, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

“Aunt Violet! Don’t worry about me, let’s find a way to escape. If we don’t get out of Dressrosa soon, we’re going to be… we’re going to be… we’re going to be enslaved by the Celestial Dragons and sent to the Holy Land Mary Geoise.”

After saying this, Rebecca's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She was filled with fear and despair.

If there's even a sliver of a chance for a gladiator raised in the arena to take revenge on Doflamingo once they've grown stronger...

If she were to be sent to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise as a slave, the Riku royal family would forever lose the chance to reclaim their country, and her future, and Violet's future, would be plunged into eternal despair.

At this moment, the vulnerability hidden deep within the girl's heart was finally exposed to the eyes of tens of thousands of pirates around her.

She was trembling, her strong gaze softening.

No matter how many life-or-death battles she had experienced before, and no matter how mature she tried to appear, Rebecca was, from beginning to end, just a twelve-year-old girl.

Tears welled in Rebecca's eyes as she looked around the ancient arena, searching for even just one, one warrior who would stand up and stand on the side of the Riku royal family.

Unfortunately, in the ancient and dilapidated bullring, apart from the statue of the gladiator king who holds a giant sword and silently overlooks the arena, all that remains are savage and vulgar villains.

Rebecca was exhausted, and at this moment, she really wanted to give up.

In my mind, the image of a one-legged toy soldier came to mind.

"Rebecca, be strong. You are a strong child and you will definitely become the strongest swordsman in the arena. Come, raise your sword. If you want to protect the people you cherish, never let go."

Rebecca's trembling body suddenly stopped trembling. She took a deep breath, her eyes gradually hardening, and she gripped the mottled greatsword tightly in her hands.

"Soldier, Rebecca won't give up!"

Never!!

In the stands, Sim, who was drinking next to Doflamingo, watched Rebecca regain her strength on the ring and begin to swing her sword at the attacking pirates, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

“She is indeed a very good slave. I think Saint Charmaco will like her very much. I estimate that this little girl named Rebecca will become Saint Charmaco’s eighteenth wife.”

"Fufufufu, that's truly a blessing she earned in her past life."

Doflamingo crossed his legs, and the color of his cloak became even more vibrant.

He was bare-chested, relaxed, and always had a confident smile on his lips, as if he were a born aristocrat, a superior, and a person in power.

His innate aura of authority is also one of the key reasons why he was able to keep the various troublesome pirates in check.

He glanced sideways at Dean, the big shark who was chugging drinks, and said, "Dean, you look a little unhappy. What's wrong? Does this drink not suit your taste?"

Dean tilted his head back and gulped down a barrel of fine wine, then casually tossed the barrel toward the arena a few hundred meters away.

A sonic boom exploded in mid-air, and the empty wine barrel crashed onto the arena like a cannonball, instantly smashing half of a three-meter-tall man's body apart. Blood and flesh scattered in a radial pattern, covering the ground.

Broken pieces of wood shot out with a whooshing sound, piercing the bodies of more than a dozen unfortunate men.

This powerful move immediately ignited the passion of the tens of thousands of pirate spectators in the arena, who erupted in a frenzy of shouts and screams.

Dean snorted and touched the large bruises and swelling on his neck.

"Don't you know why I'm unhappy? Joker, I'm not saying this to be mean, but being one of the Four Emperors is really frustrating. Humph, if I had known it would be like this, I would have preferred to stay on Beehive Island and enjoy myself. Coming to this crappy place to cooperate with you has yielded nothing, and I can't even properly play with a woman I like."

"Fufufu, it'll be alright, Dean. Trust me, it just takes a little time." Doflamingo chuckled dryly, a hint of gloom creeping into his eyes.

Dean is right, he is indeed somewhat frustrated in his role as one of the Four Emperors.

Cooperation with the World Government is still relatively minor, given that the government is far away and the authorities are not in control. At most, they will send a batch of slaves to Mary Geoise each time according to the required number. The Five Elders will not actually use force to threaten them.

But the powerful figures of the New World, who are right next door, are a different story.

He could disregard everyone else, but Kaido…

Although Kaido chose to keep his promise and cooperate with Katakuri after successfully recruiting him, he still gave him more than a dozen islands in the Totto Land.

However, most of the revenue from these islands still has to be given to the Beasts Pirates.

With tens of thousands of pirates under his command to support, he is now operating at a loss and has to use the funds his family has accumulated over the years to operate a large fleet.

Dean's injuries were inflicted when he was returned to Katakuri in a fit of rage.

Despite Jhin's attempts to mediate, Katakuri's rage was beyond the control of most people.

If Kaido hadn't called via Den Den Mushi, the two sides would probably have broken out into another big battle.

Despite having become one of the Four Emperors standing at the pinnacle of the ocean, he still felt so frustrated.

It's not a matter of strength, but rather a lack of strength!

Doflamingo unconsciously tightened his grip on the wine glass in his hand.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang urgently.

Doflamingo answered the call casually.

Before he could even ask, the anxious voice of his pirate crew came through the Den Den Mushi.

"It's terrible, young master! Lord Pica and the others have been captured by the Navy. Their mission to capture the children has also failed. What should we do? Attack G5?"

"What did you say? Pikachu... he's been arrested?"

Doflamingo's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

With a bang, the glass he was holding shattered in his palm, and the blood-red liquid flowed down between his fingers, dripping onto the white tabletop like fresh blood.

"G5, it's that navy brat again, damn it!"

Doflamingo gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his Conqueror's Haki boiling within him, and an uncontrollable rage rising from his heart.

The frustration he had felt from Katakuri and Kaido over the past few days finally erupted when Pica was captured.

Just as he was about to get up and order his troops to prepare for battle and rush to the G5 branch to rescue Pika, he was stopped by Sim's outstretched hand.

"Sim, are you going to stop me?" Doflamingo looked at Sim with an extremely unpleasant expression.

“No, it’s your freedom to do what you want, but Doflamingo, calm down and think it over. Are you really confident that you can take on that Marine brat?” Sim glanced at Dean beside him without leaving a trace and said in a calm voice, “He’s the kind of person who even defeated a monster like Katakuri.”

"What do you mean? You think I'm no match for him?" Doflamingo leaned forward, his eyes filled with a dangerous aura, staring intently at Sim.

He acknowledged Katakuri's strength, but as a king, Doflamingo never lacked confidence in his own abilities.

“No, what I meant was, there’s a better way to rescue your subordinates.” Sim downed his drink in one gulp, stood up, and glanced at Doflamingo’s grim face. “The higher-ups supported you to rise to power, not so you could let anger cloud your judgment over a mere Marine brat. Fighting him now will do you no good. You’re not stupid; think it over carefully. What your forces need right now isn’t war, but rest and recuperation, to catch up with Kaido and his crew as soon as possible and become a true Yonko crew.”

With that, he turned and left, quickly disappearing from Doflamingo's sight, leaving behind a single sentence.

"Leave Pica's matter to me. I'll go to G5 for you. No matter how outstanding that navy brat is, the navy is still just a dog raised by the adults."

A few days later, G5.

"Lieutenant General, a strange man wearing a mask has arrived at the port. He claims to be from the World Government's CP0 and says he has something to discuss with you."

The chubby boy came running over excitedly to report.

He was one of Deckard Ban's twin brothers. Rorschach disliked their strange habit of sharing a name and forcibly ordered them to use separate names.

Therefore, the slightly weaker younger brother was named Descartes, and the slightly stronger older brother was named Ban.

The DeKalb brothers expressed their satisfaction and gave their full approval.

The chubby boy with a black eye in front of me is my older brother, Ban.

"Oh? What's CP0 doing here? That's strange. Let him in."

Luo Xia vaguely guessed the other party's intentions, and a mocking smile couldn't help but curl up at the corner of his mouth.

I hope it's not what I think.

Otherwise, his opinion of the CCP would have to be lowered again.

Soon, Luo Xia saw the man wearing a seagull mask in the office.

Rorschach's powerful Observation Haki allowed him to sense the approximate strength of the other party's aura, causing him to raise an eyebrow.

This guy is pretty strong.

As soon as Sim entered, he saw Rorschach sitting behind his desk, flipping through documents.

The excessively young G5 base commander in front of him, knowing full well that CP0 had arrived, didn't even get up to greet him, truly putting on airs.

Keep in mind, he is currently the commander of CP0 in the Holy Land.

Not long ago, after Stussy's mission in the New World failed, he returned to the Holy Land. He took over the position of CP0 commander and was assigned by the Five Elders to be in charge of liaising with Doflamingo.

In terms of status, he, who could meet with the Five Elders every year, was far superior to any Vice Admiral in the Navy.

Furthermore, as the mouthpiece of the Five Elders, the CP0 commander often has the authority to directly reprimand even admirals and fleet admirals.

Since Rorschach was behaving so rudely, Sim felt he didn't need to be polite to this so-called rising star of the navy.

"You must be Rorschach, the G5 branch base chief, right? I'm here on behalf of the World Government to demand the immediate release of Pica, who has been captured."

Luo Xia was taken aback, then slowly put down the document in his hand and squinted at Sim.

"No way? I guessed right. You really were sent by Doflamingo to bring Pica back? Tsk tsk, when did CP0 become the lackeys of pirates? Could it be that Doflamingo has gone from being a pirate to a great world noble again?"
