One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

His height was close to nine meters, and his hands and feet were as thick as stone pillars. Compared to Luo Xia in his human form, just one of his arms was larger than Luo Xia's body.

The force of that punch created a howling gale in the sky, causing Rorschach's silver hair to dance wildly in the wind.

Seeing Dean's jet-black fist, which was half the size of his body, hurtling towards him, Rorschach shook his head helplessly, clenched his fist, and met the punch head-on.

"I hate people who act like they're superior just because they're old. Does being old make you superior? Besides..."

He curled his lips into a smile, and the incredibly violent lightning power on his right fist instantly surged, transforming into a lightning ball two or three meters in diameter that enveloped his entire fist. In Dean's sight, it left a dazzling trail of electric light before crashing into the fist that Dean had thrown out.

"My hair has been fully grown for ages!"

"boom!"

Two fists of vastly different sizes collided in mid-air, unleashing terrifying forces like a torrent of water. These forces erupted simultaneously from the two men, escalating along their outstretched fists and hurtling towards each other.

Where the fists collided, the air exploded, the space trembled, and tiny cracks appeared visible to the naked eye, as if the atmosphere itself had split open at the moment the fists collided.

The sea below was compressed and dented by the surging air currents, and endless seawater surged in all directions.

"Huh? It actually blocked my punch?"

Dean looked at Rorschach, who was locked in a stalemate with him in mid-air, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Is this the power of the Power-Power Fruit? It's truly immense."

As Luo Xia felt the immense power transmitted from his right fist, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

He felt as if his fist, which he had thrown out, had been hit head-on by a massive steel mountain weighing millions of tons. The terrifying force squeezed his arm, causing him to fly backward involuntarily.

If he hadn't manipulated the airflow in time to create a thick wall of compressed air behind him to block his retreat, he probably would have been sent flying by Dean's punch by now.

Even so, his body was still being impacted by wave after wave of incredibly violent force, and was slowly moving backward.

As he retreated, the atmosphere within hundreds of meters seemed to simultaneously emit a cracking sound, as if it could not bear the weight.

"Kid, do you really think your strength can rival your Grandpa Dean? I'm a superhuman with the Strength-Strength Fruit, possessing the strongest power in the world. Even Kaido of the Beasts can't compete with me in terms of pure strength. This punch you're throwing now is only one-tenth of my total power!"

Dean grinned, revealing a ferocious smile, and slowly lowered his thick right arm toward Rorschach.

"Die!"

As Dean intensified his exertion, thick tendons bulged high on his arms like arching pythons, and large blood vessels swelled as if they were about to burst.

"One-tenth? If what you say is true, then my entire strength is probably not as good as yours."

Feeling the increasingly powerful force pressing down on him, Luo Xia gritted his teeth, his eyes gradually turning into majestic, azure vertical pupils, and his right fist, which was pressing against Dean's giant fist, rapidly expanded and grew larger as if being inflated.

In the blink of an eye, his right fist had swelled to the same size as Dean's dark blue fist, leaving Dean stunned.

Along with Rorschach's right fist, his body swelled and grew larger.

Scales shimmering with a deep blue metallic luster, like scales meticulously crafted by a top blacksmith, quickly covered the surface of his swollen and burly body.

Bunches of thick, dragon-like tendons, resembling intertwined old tree roots, were entwined by a deep, domineering aura, brewing an unimaginable explosive power.

In the blink of an eye, Rorschach's body expanded from three meters to nine meters. His right fist, crackling with both lightning and domineering aura, pressed against Dean's dark blue fist, forcing Dean's body backward.

Looking at his arm that Rorschach had pressed back, and at the skin and muscles that had been charred by the lightning after Rorschach's terrifying electric light pierced through his armor, Dean's anger surged even higher.

"My power... is invincible!!"

An angry roar erupted from his mouth, like a thunderclap.

The immense strength granted by the Power-Power Fruit was amplified and exploded in his fist, finally overwhelming Rorschach in his Blue Scale form amidst Dean's roar, sending him flying like a cannonball for over a hundred meters.

At this moment, Dean's massive body had turned completely red and scalding hot from the continuous bursts of power, with large amounts of steam rising from his skin, as if he were in a sauna.

After knocking Rorschach away with a punch, he pressed his advantage, stomping his large feet repeatedly in the air and using Moonwalk to chase after the flying Rorschach.

"Invincible?"

Luo Xia chuckled and fell silent. His burly body swelled up again, and he stomped a white sonic boom vortex in the sky. His massive body crashed through walls of air, leaving a trail of silver-blue afterimages in the sky as he instantly covered a hundred meters. His clenched, thick right arm expanded a third time as it approached Dean, transforming into a giant claw resembling a coiled dragon, which slammed into Dean's chest with a loud bang.

"Click-clack-click-clack!"

Amid a series of cracking sounds, a large number of bones and muscles on Dean's massive body shattered and caved inward.

One by one, thick ribs shattered and broke under Rorschach's Qilin Claws, and Dean's usually proud and strong muscles crumbled into bloody mud.

Dean, charging forward, stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape, full of fangs, at Rorschach so close to him in disbelief. He wanted to say something, but then felt a soul-crushing pain coursing through his body.

Rorschach stood silently in front of him, his entire right arm piercing through Dean's chest, a massive black claw emerging from his back.

In its tightly clenched, pitch-black claws, it also gripped a complete, blood-soaked spine.

With a crack, the spine, harder than steel, shattered and broke in Rorschach's Qilin Claw, falling into the sea below.

He pulled his blood-soaked arm from Dean's chest, watching Dean rapidly lose his life, splattering blood all the way down from the sky, a hint of pity appearing in his eyes.

"You know nothing about power."

Chapter 531 The Big Bang

Above the sea, Rorschach, having defeated Dean, slowly disintegrated from his nine-meter-tall human-beast form and returned to his human form.

He reached out and pressed a wristwatch on his right wrist.

Immediately, a miraculous scene unfolded.

As the button on the watch was pressed, a large amount of strange substance rapidly spread and gushed out from the watch towards Rorschach's naked body, sticking together with each other.

In the blink of an eye, these things were connected on Luo Xia's body, forming a complete white military uniform.

They even thoughtfully outlined a large, snow-white cloak of justice behind him.

Even at his feet, there was a pair of pure black military boots, the surface of which reflected the sunlight and looked extremely shiny.

Luo Xia looked at his outfit with some satisfaction.

This is a scientific combat suit that he specifically asked Lilith to tailor-make for him.

Ever since he obtained the Mythical Zoan type Kirin Fruit, Rorschach had been thinking about how to deal with the inevitable naked state that would occur after transforming.

After all, this is a real world, and his Devil Fruit ability hasn't been developed to the point of awakening, where he can freely alter the properties of matter.

So if your clothes rip due to the transformation, be prepared to go naked.

Even the Hulk-style underwear specially developed by the Naval Science Department can only be barely used by other naval officers in their daily combat.

For a Mythical Beast type ability user like him who needs to transform into a giant-like human-beast form or even a Qilin form hundreds of meters long at the drop of a hat, it's simply not enough.

Later, after witnessing Germa's scientific combat suit and having Hibari demonstrate its features to him several times in private, Rorschach finally realized that the problem of underwear was not as simple as eating and drinking for a great scientist like Lilith.

All we need to do is tailor a scientific combat suit to his physical characteristics, and make it in the style of a naval uniform.

Furthermore, to prevent the combat suit from being destroyed by Rorschach's own lightning, the materials of the combat suit must be as insulating as possible.

Rorschach didn't need the combat suit to provide any combat assistance; he only needed it to satisfy his desire to avoid being naked.

Lilith was indeed impressive; she quickly created a scientific combat suit for him that served only as clothing, which is the wristwatch he is currently wearing on his wrist.

Rorschach glanced down at Dean, who was floating on the sea surface and attracting the bites of fish, and shook his head slightly.

He finally understood the characteristics of the Power-Power Fruit on Dean's body.

The Paramecia-type Power-Power Fruit can indeed grant its user unimaginable superhuman strength.

But this incredible strength is not without its limits.

The magnitude of the superhuman strength granted by the Power-Power Fruit is linked to the user's physical strength and strength.

The stronger the user's physical strength, the greater the monstrous strength amplified by the Power-Power Fruit.

A great white shark-man like Dean, who is enormous in size, possesses immense strength comparable to that of giants.

Therefore, with the amplification of the Strength-Strength Fruit, his superhuman strength is enough to allow him to easily lift a mountain weighing a million tons.

It may seem like a lot, but in reality, the terrifying power that Rorschach unleashes after his transformation is in no way inferior to the monstrous strength he possesses.

After all, even when he fought the Golden Lion on Wilmaeu Island, Rorschach's ultimate move could easily slice through the island and shatter hundreds of meters of ground.

That was an ultimate power comparable to a nuclear explosion.

This is the unsolvable problem of Mythical Zoan species.

It possesses both the ability to manipulate elemental powers similar to those of the Logia type and the physical amplification of the Zoan type.

With a thud, Luo Xia landed from the air and stood on the ground of the inner bay naval port of G5, looking at the squad who had been waiting on the breakwater.

At this moment, Ban's eyes were a little red, and there were still tears on his face that he hadn't wiped away, which made Luo Xia's heart sink.

"Has something happened?"

Ban nodded, his voice hoarse. "Vice Admiral, we contacted the warships on patrol and discovered that the vast majority of them had been attacked by pirates. Those pirates were all vassals of Doflamingo. They carried a powerful explosive during the attack, intending to take us all down with them, and detonated it during the battle. My brother..."

Ban suddenly choked up, and tears streamed down his face.

“My brother may be dead, and we’ve lost contact with him.”

"Wasn't Descartes supposed to be on a cruise with Lark? How come he's here?"

Luo Xia's expression gradually darkened.

"Yes, Miss Hibari and the others' Den Den Mushi are all down, they've obviously been attacked by pirates too. Doflamingo's blatant attack on us by his pirates is a declaration of war!"

Ban raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Rorschach, and gritted his teeth as he said, "Give the order! Lieutenant General! Let me repay you with a tooth for a tooth, with blood for blood, and storm Dressrosa to kill that beast Doflamingo!"

Looking at the excited Ban and the marines who were fully prepared for war on the sea, Luo Xia ordered in a deep voice: "All personnel, listen up! Immediately set sail to search for the whereabouts of the patrolling warships and eliminate all pirates who have invaded the G5 sea area. Be careful not to let them get close to the warships. The powerful explosives they possess are likely dynamite rocks."

"Explosive Rock?"

Most of the marines were stunned, with only a few showing shock on their faces.

It's no wonder these marines hadn't heard of Explosive Rock; don't forget that just a few months ago, most of them were prisoners locked up in Impel Down.

"You can think of it as a powerful cannonball. A fist-sized piece of explosive rock can easily blow a warship to pieces. If there are many, they can create a chain reaction. If dozens of them explode at the same time, even an island can be sunk."

Upon hearing Rorschach's description, the marines turned pale with fright.

"So, once we spot the pirate ships, we should try to use the steam power of our warships to stall them and destroy them with long-range artillery. Alright, let's go!"

"Yes!"

At Luo Xia's command, more than a dozen warships of various sizes quickly lowered their sails and rushed towards the sea outside the inner bay.

Rorschach also took flight, heading out to sea to find the lark.
