One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

The footsteps approached rapidly, covering a distance of over a hundred meters, with less than two seconds between them.

Sugar's hand paused, and she turned around in confusion. Suddenly, everything went black before her eyes, and her small head was lifted up by a large hand.

"You're asking for it! Turn me into a toy!"

Sugar was furious and reached out with both hands to grab the hand that was grabbing her head.

"Don't think that just because you're a little girl, you have the privilege of being forgiven."

Rorschach let Sugar's hands touch his wrists.

There was no domineering aura wrapped around his hands, but rather an invisible airflow forming a compressed barrier that enveloped his entire body.

Sugar's hand couldn't penetrate the air barrier at all; Rorschach's large hand grabbed her head, lifting her into the air, where she swayed and struggled like a toy.

"Lord Sugar!"

The sudden turn of events startled the pirates who were holding Violet and King Riku. They quickly dropped the two, drew their swords, and charged towards Rorschach.

Just then, Leo, along with several Dwarf warriors including Kabu, flew in and attacked without mercy, quickly slicing open the necks of several pirates, shattering their cervical vertebrae, and killing them instantly on the spot.

"It's time to restore this country."

Rorschach grabbed Sugar's head and threw it against the wall next to him.

"Oh!"

The wall exploded, sending debris flying and creating a crater. Sugar coughed up blood, her eyes rolled back, and her small body instantly broke, losing consciousness. She slid limply off the wall and crashed to the ground in the corner.

King Riku and Violet stared blankly at the scene, unable to recover for a long time.

After a long while, Violet burst into tears, her eyes reddening, and got up from the ground to look at Rorschach.

"Have you finally come to save this country, Rorschach?"

"Sorry I'm a little late."

Rorschach nodded.

More than a year ago, in the town of Mogu, Violet asked him to rescue Dressrosa.

Although I agreed at that time, my strength and status were insufficient to fulfill her wish.

Now, more than a year later, Rorschach has finally arrived in this country.

Finally, he's about to officially meet his arch-rival, Doflamingo.

Come to think of it, that guy should be the first big boss that Luo Xia has encountered since he came to this world, right?

Moreover, it was something I couldn't possibly contend with at the time.

Two years ago in the capital of Princeton, if Aokiji hadn't arrived in time, he probably would have been dead.

"You are... Lieutenant General Luo Xia of the Blue Scale!"

King Riku got up from the ground, looked at Rorschach in shock, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Of course he knew Rorschach.

Because he knew so much, King Riku was shocked when he actually met Rorschach.

More than a year ago, when Doflamingo took his daughter Violet back from the Navy, she privately told King Riku about asking Rorschach for help in Mock Town.

However, at that time, King Riku did not have much hope for what Violet had said.

At that time, Rorschach had already made a name for himself in Paradise, having defeated Chinjao.

But compared to his current status as Lieutenant General Lan Lin, the difference is like heaven and earth.

Vice Admiral Bluescale, the candidate for the third admiral of the Navy, had already spread his fame throughout the world after the two major battles of the G1 and the Battle of Totto Land.

It has long been rumored that he possesses top-tier combat power comparable to that of a Navy admiral.

King Riku was surprised to find that the other party was actually so young.

However, despite Rorschach's youth, King Riku did not underestimate him in the slightest. Instead, he expressed his gratitude to Rorschach very politely.

"Your Majesty Riku, there's no need to say more. You should leave Dressrosa with Leo and the others first. The battle that follows is beyond your control."

Luo Xia nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

But he didn't say much; now was not the time for casual conversation, as the arena had already begun.

King Riku wanted to say something more, but in the end it turned into a long sigh. He nodded to Rorschach, reached out to support the weak Violet, and followed Leo and the others outside.

Leo turned to look at Rorschach, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Rorschach knew what he wanted to say.

"Don't worry, Leo, Princess Mansherry from your Tontata Kingdom is also over at the arena. I will rescue her."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Navy."

Leo bowed deeply to Luo Xia before escorting King Liku and Violet away at high speed.

Rorschach stepped out of the royal capital highlands and stood atop a towering cliff, looking towards the arena.

At this very moment, all the pirates within the entire capital city have gathered at the bullfighting arena.

A deafening roar erupted from the arena, echoing throughout Dressrosa.

With a flash of lightning, Rorschach's figure had vanished.

Inside the bullfighting arena, on the central square platform, Rebecca, covered in wounds, is struggling against a group of pirates, desperately swinging her nicked greatsword.

In front of her, there was a one-legged toy soldier, wielding a long sword and fighting fiercely, cutting down pirates who rushed up to grab Rebecca.

Blood was splattered all over the ground, and the toy soldier's body was stained crimson.

"Hehehe, this toy is really amazing. Speaking of which, it must have been modified by Sugar-sama using her powers, right? That means it used to be a person?"

A pirate captain, as thin as a skeleton, stood outside the battleground, watching with interest as the toy soldiers wreaked havoc.

"Huh? You don't know, Edman?" A long-legged pirate captain next to him took a swig of wine, burped, and said, "That toy soldier's former identity."

"What identity?" Edelman asked, puzzled.

The long-legged pirate, Dōgen, pointed to a gladiator sculpture above the arena stands.

"Look, that toy soldier is none other than Cyrus, the undefeated warrior and the champion of a thousand victories in the bullfighting arena."

As Daogen finished speaking, the toy soldier surrounded by pirates suddenly shuddered, its cylindrical body expanding like an inflating balloon, and quickly transforming into a flesh and blood body.

His body was full and tall, and his comical toy face had transformed into a serious-looking, square-faced middle-aged man.

As his body grew taller and recovered, Cyrus wielded his sword with one hand and swept it horizontally. A sharp sword aura burst forth from the blade, instantly slicing through more than a dozen pirates who rushed at him, splattering blood all over the ground.

"Soldier, you...you..."

Behind Cyrus, Rebecca, holding a greatsword, trembled as she stared blankly at the tall figure blocking her way. Suddenly, hot tears welled up in her eyes, and she sobbed out with pouting lips.

"father!"

“Rebecca…” Cyrus turned his head, his eyes also red, and looked at Rebecca, who was covered in wounds, with a face full of shame. “I’m sorry, I didn’t fulfill my responsibility as a father, and I didn’t protect your mother and you.”

"No, no! Dad, you... haven't you always been protecting me?"

Rebecca choked back tears and collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

More and more pirates gathered around. Cyrus gripped his greatsword tightly with both hands, stood horizontally in front of Rebecca, and stood on one leg, looking at the approaching pirates.

"Last time, I failed to protect you. This time, I will definitely take Doflamingo's head with my own hands and save this country from the clutches of the Donquixote Family!"

As Cyrus spoke, hatred flashed in his eyes as he looked toward the top of the stands.

Then he saw Doflamingo slowly rise from his seated position, spread his arms, and let out a strange laugh towards the high ground of the palace.

"Fufufufu, Fufufufu, I've been waiting for you for so long, Rorschach. Come, let's have a savage battle. The final victor takes everything, and the loser gambles everything, including their life!"

"Welcome to the Arena of the Gods."

Chapter 543 Conqueror's Haki Storm

As Doflamingo rose with a loud laugh, the eyes of tens of thousands of spectators in the entire Corridor all turned to look in the direction he was looking.

Cyrus and his daughter on the ring also subconsciously looked up.

Under everyone's gaze, a tall figure draped in a cloak of justice stepped through the void, strode down from the top of the royal palace.

His long silver hair fluttered in the wind behind his head, and his wide cloak also rustled in the wind.

If you ignore his clothes, he truly has the air of an ethereal immortal, as if he were riding the wind.

"navy!"

Upon seeing this, the pirates immediately revealed malicious expressions, their eyes flashing with ferocity as they focused their gazes on the newcomers.

Despite the provocations, curiosity, and mockery of tens of thousands of pirates in the arena, Rorschach remained unmoved. With an indifferent gaze, he stepped through the air and arrived above the arena, looking down at the rising Doflamingo.

"Navy! How dare you show yourselves in front of us so openly? Do you even know where you are?"

"Hahaha, get me a gun right now, I'm going to shoot him down. He dares to fly over our heads, does he even know what death means?"

"Grab him! He looks like a good-looking young navy man, I'm going to personally drain him dry!"

The enormous bullfighting arena instantly erupted into chaos, with thousands of pirates shouting and making a great commotion, creating a cacophony like a boiling ocean of noise.

On the ring, Cyrus looked up at Rorschach's face, his pupils suddenly contracting.

"Who is he...?"

Rorschach's eyes were indifferent as he swept his gaze across the densely packed pirates in the stands, who looked like countless ants. He then looked down at Doflamingo and uttered a sentence that instantly caused an uproar in the entire arena.

"Doflamingo, how do you want to die?"

Doflamingo's smile froze, veins bulged on his forehead, and he involuntarily gritted his teeth, glaring at Rorschach, "Kid, don't be so arrogant."

He was angry, but the pirates around him seemed even angrier than he was.

"Damn Marines! It's one thing to dare come to the headquarters of one of the Four Emperors alone, but to even dare to disrespect our Emperors! Kill him! Everyone, attack and bring him down!"

"There are at least 30,000 brothers in the arena right now. Even if the Navy Headquarters' top combat force, the Navy Admiral, came, he would not return. What kind of background does this Navy have? Are they scared out of their wits or have they gone mad? How dare they come to Dressrosa to cause trouble?"

"Heh, he probably thinks he's invincible just because he can fly. How naive! Let me take him down! Moonwalk!"

Countless angry curses surged towards Luo Xia. Some people drew swords from their waists, while pirates picked up flintlock pistols, cannons, rocket launchers, and all sorts of other weapons, aiming them at Luo Xia in the sky and pulling the triggers.
