One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Gringu wore a black robe trimmed with gold. He was tall and thin, and looked like a pampered and privileged elder nobleman, which was very different from the stereotypical image of Celestial Dragons in the eyes of the world.

With a stoic expression and an old face bearing a distinctive hairstyle, he held a rapier in his right hand. He landed from the air and stood no more than five meters away from Luo Xia, looking at him coldly.

"You little brat from the navy, don't you want to explain yourself to this old man?"

Rorschach raised his right foot and stepped on the birdcage covering Doflamingo. Looking at Gringu, whose eyes were full of murderous intent, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"What does the great Grimm saint want me to explain?"

"Don't play dumb with me! I'm asking you, why did you defy the rules of the World Government and attack our ally, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, without authorization?"

The blade of the rapier in Gringu's hand was pitch black, exuding a terrifyingly sharp aura.

Judging from his posture, it seemed as if he would strike Luo Xia with his sword if he answered a single wrong word.

Rorschach seemed oblivious to this, a faint smile still playing on his lips.

To Greene, it was nothing short of mockery.

“Grimm Saint, you have misunderstood me.”

Rorschach smiled, pointing at Doflamingo at his feet, then his expression suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice:

"Although the Seven Warlords of the Sea are indeed allies of our Navy and the World Government, Doflamingo completely disregarded the rule of non-aggression among allies and used extremely dangerous explosive rocks to launch the first attack on our G5 branch."

This resulted in the deaths and injuries of thousands of my G5 branch's valiant naval soldiers in just a few days. Tell me, if I didn't retaliate, wouldn't I be making a fool of the Navy and the World Government? If word got out, who knows how the pirates would laugh at us, saying that the Navy and the World Government didn't dare utter a sound in the face of the new Emperor Yaksha's attack.

Rorschach's answer made Grimg's eyes twitch, and he wished he could slash him with his sword.

"Eloquent words and sophistry!" He turned to look at Sim, whose face was covered in dust from the previous thick lightning bolt. "Why didn't you listen to the latest orders from above that Sim just told you?"

He stepped forward, his eyes like knives, coldly staring at Luo Xia. "Not only did you refuse to listen, but you also attempted to kill Sim with lightning. Speak! As a naval admiral, what do you intend to do? Rebel?"

"That label of 'Old Saint Grimm' is really well-placed," Rorschach shrugged, glancing at the still-shaken Sim. "I didn't intend to attack Commander Sim just now. That lightning bolt was simply deflected by Doflamingo's counterattack and ended up hitting Commander Sim's back. Look, Commander Sim is perfectly fine, isn't he? It seems I underestimated the strength of the CP0 commander. That little bit of scattered lightning couldn't possibly harm the formidable Commander Sim."

Gringu's face grew increasingly dark, and finally he couldn't hold back any longer. He held his rapier level, pointing it at Rorschach's face, and said coldly, "I don't want to hear your excuses. Now, hand over Doflamingo immediately. As for your crime of disobeying orders, you can explain that to Sengoku later."

"I'll hand it in! I'll hand it in right away!"

Rorschach wore a gentle smile that was as warm as a spring breeze, but his right foot, which was stepping on the birdcage on Doflamingo's body, was still frantically pouring surging lightning power into the fine gaps of the birdcage.

The raging lightning power is vying with the healing tears hidden within Doflamingo for control of his life and death.

The former's frenzied electric shocks destroyed Doflamingo's body, making him smell like roasted meat.

The latter transformed into a vast expanse of milky-white light, permeating every cell of Doflamingo's body, frantically repairing his body that was constantly being damaged by lightning, pulling him back from the brink of death time and time again.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for Mansherry's healing abilities, Doflamingo would be dead beyond any doubt.

However, it is practically impossible for Rorschach to electrocute Doflamingo before the healing tears hidden inside him are completely used up.

The healing effect is too powerful; it will take some time.

'That bastard Doflamingo, why isn't he dead yet?'

While dealing with Gringu's pressure, Rorschach frantically channeled lightning into the birdcage.

Seeing this, Grimm's face turned ashen. He could no longer suppress the surging anger and killing intent in his heart. With a flick of his wrist, he slashed at Rorschach with his sword.

"You brat, you're asking for it!"

A thick sword aura erupted from his longsword, and a terrifyingly sharp aura continuously rose from his aged body. In Rorschach's perception of his Observation Haki, this commander of the God Knights, who was so close to Rorschach, seemed to have transformed into a divine sword that was slowly being drawn from its sheath.

Even more terrifying was that the blade of the rapier that Gringu swung at him was not only covered with jet-black Armament Haki, but also wrapped with bolts of black and red lightning, radiating a world-destroying aura that made Rorschach's heart skip a beat.

This is a binding attack using Conqueror's Haki!

Fugaran Gringu, commander of the Knights of God, was the Celestial Dragon king of the God Valley Arena thirty-four years ago, and the Celestial Dragon with the highest status below the Five Elders.

Given his status and position, it was not surprising that Rorschach possessed such powerful and unparalleled Conqueror's Haki.

However, no matter who comes, Doflamingo must die today!

Thinking of this, Luo Xia's eyes flashed with killing intent. He no longer concealed his strength, and an incomparably violent and powerful aura surged wildly from his tall and imposing body.

"Boom!"

A massive arm, its muscles coiled and knotted, carrying surging deep blue aura and silver-white lightning, slammed into the longsword of the Overlord that Gringu had slashed from afar.

A barrage of black and red lightning exploded three meters in front of Luo Xia, creating countless tiny cracks in the air between him and Gringu.

Wherever those tyrannical thunderbolts passed, the earth shattered, the atmosphere wailed, and the winds raged between heaven and earth!

"Roar!"

The azure scales spread out rapidly, and a huge shadow descended like an overwhelming force, engulfing Gringu's aged body.

A massive hoof, as thick as a pillar, shattered the air in front of Gringu and stomped towards his body.

"How dare you!"

A fierce glint flashed in Grimgu's eyes, and his aged body erupted with an earth-shattering aura. The Overlord's Thunderclap on his longsword shone even more intensely as he swung the sword fiercely, slashing at the giant hoof claw that was kicking towards him.

"Clang!"

A short, piercing explosion suddenly erupted in the arena, followed by a powerful shockwave that swept wildly in all directions, forcing Cyrus and his two companions, and even Sim, to retreat again and again, until they reached the edge of the arena, far away from the battle between Rorschach and Gringu.

Even so, the streaks of black and red lightning that shot out in all directions and the dissipating silver thunder still caused the group to cough up blood and nearly die from the aftershocks of their battle.

A look of horror flashed in Sim's eyes.

He knew Luo Xia was strong, but he never imagined he would be this strong.

That's Grimm, the ancient saint!

That Lieutenant General Lan Lin was so powerful that he was able to briefly rival the great Saint Grimm.

Is this still a lieutenant general?

"Don't be ridiculous! There's no such thing as a lieutenant general that powerful!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Sim blurted out his innermost thoughts.

Then he heard Cyrus, who had retreated further away, mutter something.

"As expected of the new naval hero, he is just as powerful as the former naval hero, Vice Admiral Garp."

Sim's cheek twitched, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.

"Damn it, I forgot that old monster Garp is still a vice admiral..."

At the heart of the battle, Gringu, who was swinging his sword at Rorschach, was also experiencing a storm of emotions.

He stared in shock at Luo Xia, whose body had swelled to nine meters in size. He felt the vigorous life force emanating from Luo Xia, which was like a raging furnace, and the boundless power that erupted every time it clashed with the longsword in his hand. He almost had a strange feeling.

It was as if he were fighting Kaido, that tough-skinned guy.

At this moment, Grimm remembered the rumors he had overheard among the Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land not long ago, saying that Vice Admiral Bluescale Rorschach was the strongest creature in the Navy.

Zoan-type Horse-Horse Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Kirin form!

A top-tier Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, comparable to Kaido's Azure Dragon Fruit.

At that time, he felt that the rumors were exaggerated.

It's not like he hasn't seen Rorschach before.

Not to mention the one during the World Conference last time.

Back on Sabaody Archipelago, about a year and a half ago, Rorschach was a Marine lieutenant commander. In Greene's eyes, his strength was about the same as a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million. If it weren't for the special hardness of his bones, he probably would have been cut in two by Greene with a single sword strike.

But how long has it been?

This young naval officer, who was initially protected by Akainu, Kizaru, and many other high-ranking naval officers, has actually become strong enough to challenge me.

"Are you kidding me!"

Gringu gritted his teeth, the black sleeve of his right arm burst open, and his withered muscles swelled up like an inflating balloon, unleashing terrifying power. This power, combined with the domineering sword energy he unleashed, crushed the massive fist that Rorschach was blasting at him, sending Rorschach, who was falling from the sky, flying dozens of meters away with a single sword strike.

With a single sword strike, he sent Luo Xia flying, and Green Gu swiftly sheathed his longsword.

Then, gripping the scabbard with his left hand and the hilt with his right, he drew his sword again with lightning speed.

"Domineering Iai! God's wrath!"

Black and red lightning flowed across the blade of the rapier, like a magnificent black and red aurora. In an instant, it covered a distance of tens of meters, like lightning flashing across the sky, and burst out with a black and red slash that tore the sky and split the earth. It slashed upwards and struck Luo Xia in the air.

Luo Xia sensed the terror of Gringu's sword strike and dared not be careless. A massive amount of domineering aura surged out from his body, like a tsunami, surging and gathering in front of him to form a domineering armor more than ten meters thick.

He didn't bring the Heavenly Dragon Halberd with him this time.

However, his current strength means that there isn't much difference in the amount of damage he can deliver whether he's fighting unarmed or with a weapon.

His bones, as hard as a great sword, are themselves an extremely powerful weapon.

A black and red slash hundreds of meters long swept across the arena sky in an instant, slicing through the thick Armament Haki covering Rorschach's body as easily as cutting tofu.

"Pfft!"

A deep, bone-revealing wound appeared on Rorschach's two massive arms, which were crossed in front of him.

At the same time, a crack appeared on his broad chest, a sign of impending doom.

Crimson blood gushed out from the ruptured wound like a high-pressure water jet.

Even the azure scales, harder than steel, couldn't stop Gringu's sword-wielding Iai Slash, which was of the highest level.

However, the damage that Gringu's all-out, incredibly powerful, binding sword strike inflicted on Rorschach was limited to this.

The terrifyingly sharp sword energy sliced ​​through his imposing armor, his air armor, his scales and tough muscles, but failed to sever his bones.

However, the excruciating pain in his chest still stirred a violent killing intent within Rorschach. With a roar, his mountain-like body suddenly swelled, and thick bolts of lightning crackled around his body as he crashed to the ground like a meteor, delivering a powerful punch towards Doflamingo, who was buried under rubble.

"You brat! How dare you!"

Enraged, Gringu unleashed another devastating sword strike imbued with Conqueror's Haki, attempting to stop Rorschach.

However, bloodlust appeared in Rorschach's eyes, and the raging lightning within his body surged forth from his massive right arm. Ignoring the skin and muscles torn by the Tyrant's Thunder, he used his incredibly hard bones to suppress the black and red sword light unleashed by Gringu, and slammed it down on Doflamingo, whose body had miraculously recovered.

"I'm going to kill him, and you can't stop me!"

Chapter 550 He is my disciple!

In terms of physical strength alone, the old and frail Gringu was completely outmatched by Rorschach in his current state.

However, in terms of the quality of Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, Gringu still surpasses Rorschach by a considerable margin.
