One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Who is he? Doflamingo's enemy? Or is he simply Cypher's enemy?

No.

wrong.

Leo's gaze moved from Rorschach's face to his snow-white military uniform and the blood-stainless cloak of justice behind him.

"navy?"

The glimmer of hope that had just risen in Leo's heart was instantly extinguished as if doused with a bucket of cold water.

He knew that the Navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea were allies, and Doflamingo was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He was certain that the Navy in front of him would not cause him any trouble.

“Sev!”

Seeing Cypher's miserable state, the fat man Callum abandoned the blood-spitting Kabu, clenched his huge, swollen fist, and was about to rush up and hit Rorschach.

But just as he raised his fist, the fat man suddenly froze, staring intently at Luo Xia's face. His massive, fleshy body began to tremble.

"Callum! What are you doing? Save me now! Damn Marines, let me go! Do you want to die? I'm the captain of a pirate ship under the command of Doflamingo, one of the Four Emperors!"

Cypher struggled fiercely, twisting his body and turning his hands and feet into giant razors, hacking wildly at Rorschach's body.

But to his despair, he discovered that his outstretched arms and legs were twisted by an unseen force, instantly spiraling and turning into a pretzel.

The sounds of flesh tearing and bones cracking exploded one after another, and blood gushed from his hands and feet as if it were free.

The excruciating pain drove Cypher the Razor, whose bounty exceeded 200 million Berries, to a complete breakdown, nearly causing him to faint.

Meanwhile, Callum, the New World Underground Boxing Champion, was sweating profusely. With a scream, he swung his arms and stumbled as he fled desperately toward the pirate ship from which he had come.

"Callum! You treacherous bastard, save...save me."

Blood dripped continuously from Cypher's mouth as he stared blankly at Callum's fleeing figure.

"Save you? You can't save you, Cipher!"

Callum's face was filled with panic, and his heart was pounding with anxiety. At that moment, he wished his parents could give him more legs, and he also hated himself for not losing weight and for being so slow at escaping!

The reason he abandoned his good friend Cypher and fled alone was because Callum had already recognized who the person was.

"The strongest creature in the Navy, Vice Admiral Bluescale, the third-ranking candidate. Even a monster like Katakuri, who could easily crush Boss Dean, lost an arm in his hands! How could I possibly, how could I possibly deal with such a monster!"

Callum screamed inwardly, knowing he was about to board his ship.

But at that moment, a terrifying scene he would never forget was reflected in his pupils.

Suddenly, towering waves surged high into the sky above the three pirate ships anchored ahead, transforming into thick pillars of water that converged towards the central pirate ship, resembling five gigantic, whirling fingers.

Five spiraling water columns gripped the three pirate ships together, squeezing them into the middle.

Instantly, a series of loud cracking explosions erupted on the three pirate ships, sending countless splinters of wood flying everywhere. The ship's explosives magazine was also compressed and exploded.

In less than a few breaths, the three ships they had come on were crushed into countless fragments by five towering, swirling tornadoes of water, which scattered across the sea.

Callum's fleeing body came to an abrupt halt in front of the spinning giant column of water, his two small eyes filled with shock and fear.

He turned around, trembling, and looked toward where Cipher was.

As he turned around, he saw Rorschach loosen his grip on Cypher's shoulder and flick his hand across Cypher's neck before Cypher hit the ground.

"Oh!"

The blood mist exploded, and Cypher's head was gone!

"My patience is limited. If you won't talk, then you have no value to me."

Rorschach didn't even glance at the headless corpse flying far away, nor at Callum, whose face showed fear and despair. He glanced indifferently at the hundreds of pirates at the edge of the forest, and the scattered dead and wounded little humans at their feet.

Luo Xia shook his head, too lazy to say anything, and waved his right hand again in the air.

With this wave of his hand, the air in front of him rapidly twisted and compressed, vibrating and humming. In the shocked and terrified gazes of the pirates, a crescent-shaped wind blade with a diameter of over a hundred meters was compressed and born little by little, hovering two meters above the ground, emitting a chillingly sharp aura.

"Run! Run now!"

The pirates, already terrified by the sight of Cypher's gruesome death, turned and ran without a second thought.

With their boats destroyed, they were unable to leave by boat and had no choice but to turn around and rush into the Fairy Forest.

But it was too late.

Leo only saw a visible ripple in the air, followed by countless severed limbs, heads, torsos, and internal organs scattered all over the ground.

The pungent smell of blood was nauseating, and thick blood plasma smeared the sandy edge of the forest.

Hundreds of pirates who scattered and fled were all killed instantly.

The hellish scene terrified the little people from the Kingdom of Tontatta who came to their rescue, causing them to tremble with fear, stop gagging, and scream.

"You, come here."

Rorschach remained expressionless throughout the blood-soaked scene.

He turned to look at Callum, the only remaining pirate survivor.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'll tell you everything! Lieutenant General Lan Lin, don't kill me, waaaaah!"

Seeing Rorschach looking at him, Callum immediately scrambled back and knelt down on the sand in front of Rorschach with a thud. His fat body trembled violently with fear, and large beads of sweat dripped incessantly from his forehead.

"Then tell me, what's the current situation of Donquixote Grand Fleet? What's Doflamingo busy with?"

Rorschach watched as Leo, covered in blood, led his people to clean up the bodies of his comrades, without even glancing at Callum, who was begging for mercy.

How could Callum dare to hide it?

He poured out everything he knew, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

"Under the guise of celebrating his ascension to the throne of one of the Four Emperors, Doflamingo has gathered all the current forces of his Grand Fleet. Aside from a few pirates still engaged in harassment operations in the G5 Sea, over 20,000 pirates have now assembled in the Dressrosa capital, including more than ten captains with bounties exceeding 100 million. He's also organizing a tournament at the Corridor, offering a valuable Devil Fruit reward to anyone who finishes in the top three. However, the tournament hasn't started yet; he says he's waiting for the protagonist to appear. So, Cypher and I took advantage of this lull to come here and have some fun..."

Callum recounted his story through sobs, while secretly observing Rorschach's actions.

When he saw that Rorschach wasn't paying attention to him at all, but was instead staring at the dwarves, a fierce glint flashed in Callum's eyes. He suddenly sprang up with his two thick legs, clenched his fists, and swung them fiercely toward Rorschach's neck.

His arms, thick enough to rival Rorschach's waist, were bulging with muscles like giant hammers, making Rorschach's neck appear incredibly small beneath his fists.

"Go to hell!!"

Callum roared, and a dark, domineering aura appeared on the surface of his fist.

Rorschach seemed oblivious to the attack from behind, still standing with his back to Callum.

Leo, who was comforting his compatriots, couldn't help but scream upon seeing this.

"careful!"

However, before Leo could finish speaking, a pillar of lightning as thick as an ancient tree burst forth from Rorschach's body and passed right through Callum, who was throwing a punch.

Then, Callum's mountain-like body vanished, leaving only his two charred, thick legs standing in place.

Behind him, a ditch five meters in diameter and one hundred meters long appeared on the sand.

Leo's eyes widened, his throat bobbed, and his lips trembled as he looked at Rorschach. Suddenly, he knelt down in front of Rorschach, bracing himself with his hands and slamming his blood-soaked forehead against the ground.

"Sir Navy officer! I beg you to help us. Princess Mansherry and some of her compatriots have been captured by Doflamingo. There are too many pirates, and we are powerless to resist. The princess is suffering inhuman torture!"

Chapter 541 Rescue

"So, sir, you are the base commander of the G5 branch, the powerful Vice Admiral Bluescale. Leo was being rude; I didn't recognize you earlier and even mistook you for that villain Doflamingo."

In a clearing in the Fairy Forest, Leo apologized to Rorschach with a look of remorse.

Luo Xia waved his hand, "Leo, don't say that."

He glanced at the weeping Dwarf race members around him. They were the relatives of the Dwarf warriors who had died earlier, and they were all heartbroken and extremely grief-stricken.

"I am the one who should apologize. I had unrealistic ideas about changing the world, but I was always constrained and swayed by orders that prioritized the greater good. I knew that tragedies were happening on this sea every day, and I knew how much bloodshed Doflamingo would unleash on this sea after becoming one of the Four Emperors, but I... I didn't stand up to stop it."

Luo Xia looked down at his slowly clenched fist.

He questioned himself: Did he truly want to change the world?

Or perhaps the passionate words spoken back then were merely a momentary surge of enthusiasm, rather than a genuine desire to wholeheartedly pursue a cause that has been refined and tested over time.

If so, then why did I follow in the footsteps of Kizaru and Aokiji, stopping in the face of the chaotic New World pirates?

What about my own determination to forge ahead?

What happened to the radicalism they displayed back in Chambord?

If it weren't for Hibari's serious injury, I probably would have continued to develop steadily in G5, obeying headquarters' orders and not getting into conflicts with my 'neighbor' Tenyasha.

Does this mean that the lark holds a place in her heart that is far more important than the whole world?

Since that's the case, why should I care about the fate of this world? I might as well take Yun Que back to the North Sea and live a quiet life.

Rorschach was confused.

Many times, he was unsure whether the world he was in was a dream he had before he died.

No, perhaps I didn't die at all.

He's still in a hospital ward, covered in tubes, and has become a vegetable.

Everything I'm experiencing now is just a figment of my imagination as a person in a vegetative state.

It's just that her favorite thing in life was One Piece, so she wanted to find solace in this fantasy world.

He is another Li Huowang.

But at least Li Huowang could go back in time and have a fit of madness, while I didn't have any memory confusion at all.

Even because I've grown up in this real world of flesh and blood for over ten years since birth, my memories of my past life are gradually becoming blurred.

People in this world all have their own personalities; they are living, breathing people who bleed when they die, cry when they are sad, and laugh when they are happy.

They're not two-dimensional characters from comics at all!

Countless complex emotions and thoughts flashed chaotically through Luo Xia's mind, to the point that his attention was somewhat scattered.

It wasn't until Leo's words reached his ears that Luo Xia snapped out of his chaotic thoughts.

"Sir, you're new here and may not know, but the capital of Dressrosa is in complete chaos. Too many pirates have entered the country these past few days, and Doflamingo, the current king, has done absolutely nothing to control them. This has led to the capital's residents being harassed by pirates and committing numerous crimes. Even the Riku royal family has been placed under house arrest, seemingly destined to be sent to the Red Line as slaves of the Celestial Dragons. Sir, if possible, please help Rebecca and the others. Our captain is struggling alone in the capital; rescuing Rebecca will be extremely difficult. All the able-bodied warriors of the Tontatta Kingdom will go with you."

"Captain? Are you talking about Cyrus?" Rorschach composed himself and looked at Leo.

“Cyrus? Who’s that?” Leo looked blank. While quickly stitching up his wound, he explained, “The captain I’m talking about is Soldier. Oh right, you haven’t seen him, Navy guy. Soldier is a toy soldier with one leg. He’s very strong, much stronger than us. He’s also Rebecca’s swordsmanship teacher.”
