One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"We don't know. We dare not presume to know what Lord Im is thinking. Let's go in and listen to Lord Im's holy words."

Outside the Hall of Power, Gringu stared grimly at Musgarud, who was kneeling on the ground, wailing and crying with tears streaming down his face. His hand gripping the hilt of his sword trembled, and he almost couldn't resist striking him with his sword.

"Musgarud! You bastard, what kind of behavior is this, crying and wailing here!"

Musgarud knelt on the white marble steps and wept bitterly:

"Five Elders! You cannot execute Lieutenant General Rorschach!"

He is a rare kind and righteous person in the Navy. You cannot take your anger out on Vice Admiral Rorschach just because of the death of that bastard Doflamingo.

Doflamingo has committed too many evil deeds. Even if Homingo's brother were still alive, he would not forgive Doflamingo after hearing what Vice Admiral Rorschach had done.

Our Don Quixote family has no need for such a wicked man. He has completely betrayed what his brother Homingo believed in: to treat the world not with brutal rule, but with love…”

"Love? I love you my ass! You Don Quixote family members are all fucking insane!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Gringu drew his longsword from his waist and, using the scabbard as a club, slapped it hard across Musgarud's face, sending him flying. Several of his teeth were knocked out, and he immediately lost consciousness, terrifying the surrounding guards who turned pale.

"Take him to the infirmary! Cancel all his future share of Heavenly Gold!"

Gringu left with a single sentence and disappeared without looking back at the entrance of the Hall of Power.

Only then did Frisis silently step forward, bend down, carefully lift the unconscious Musgarud, and run quickly towards the infirmary.

Inside the Hall of Power, the Five Elders, having received instructions from Im, emerged from the palace containing the Void Throne, exchanged glances, and nodded.

Satan pulled a Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

"Since it's Lord Im's order, then it's decided. I'll inform Sengoku and Akainu's side now to take Rorschach to Impel Down!"

Chapter 566 If you were to travel, where would you like to go?

New World Egg Point Island.

"Senmonumaru! You stop right there!"

With a furrowed brow, the lark transformed its lower body into surging clouds, flying rapidly above the street in pursuit of a large, fat man in a red bellyband who was frantically fleeing ahead.

Sentomaru was covered in sweat, panting heavily, biting his lip tightly, not uttering a word, completely ignoring Hibari's words, and just running wildly with his head down.

Vegapunk and his clones stood at a distance, staring wide-eyed at the scene, completely unaware of what had happened.

Only young Bonnie was happy about the chase between the two, standing at the feet of the silent bear, clapping her hands excitedly.

"Hurry up! Hibari-neechan! Catch up with Sentomaru-nii! He can't run fast, he's too fat! We tell him to lose weight, but he won't listen. That's the downside of being fat."

"I...I'm not fat! It's all muscle!"

Sentomaru ran for a while, then collapsed onto his knees, panting heavily.

Hibari flew over from behind, his hand already brimming with a surge of lightning. This made Sentomaru's hair stand on end. Without even taking a break, he dashed towards Kuma, shouting as he ran.

"Bear! Bear! Help me! Swat me away, swat me away to Marineford! Yes, swat me away there!"

Hearing Sentomaru's shouts, Hibari's suspicion deepened. At the same time, a sense of foreboding arose in her heart, and she suspected that it was related to Rorschach.

"Senmomaru! What are you hiding? Has something happened to Brother Luo Xia?"

Sentomaru didn't answer, and ran away with his head covered.

On the other side, the silent bear had taken off its gloves, revealing its large hands with paw pads.

Upon seeing this, the lark's heart sank.

At this distance, if Kuma really wanted to send Sentomaru flying, even his lightning might not be able to hit him before Sentomaru left.

Despite thinking this, Hibari gritted his teeth and shot out the lightning bolt in his hand, heading straight for Sentomaru's obese body.

"saved!"

When Sentomaru saw the large hand that Kuma extended, a relieved smile immediately appeared on his round face.

Then, his smile was just beginning to appear when it was ruined by a little girl who jumped up from the ground.

“Po... Bonnie!”

Sentomaru stared wide-eyed at Bonnie, who was leaping high into the air.

Bonnie's raised right hand suddenly became enormous, covered with countless blue scales, and thick tendons intertwined like gnarled old tree roots, containing unparalleled terrifying power. With a single slap, she shattered the air above Sentomaru's head.

Before Bonnie's right hand could even touch Sentomaru, the air she blasted sent Sentomaru flying, who had just run in front of Kuma. He flew back and crashed into the lightning bolt shot by Hibari. His hair stood on end, smoke billowed from his mouth, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, where he was caught by Hibari who had rushed over.

The sudden change startled Vegapunk and the others who were watching the scene on the street. They rushed over and ran to Bonney, whose body had returned to normal, and asked in surprise, "Bonney, what did you do?"

"Huh? I...I don't know." Bonnie scratched her head and shook her head blankly.

Big Bear lowered his head and stared at little Bonnie in a daze.

In the distance, Hibari, who was holding the smoking Sentomaru, also glanced at Bonnie with surprise.

Bonnie's slap just now...

"Senmonumaru! Stop playing dead! You fatso, tell me what you're hiding right now, or I'll tell Grandpa Sengoku to transfer you from Uncle Borsalino's command to my father's."

"No...please don't."

Sentomaru's drooping head suddenly opened its eyes, looking at Hibari with a terrified expression.

"If you don't want to go, then tell the truth! Where's that newspaper you had? What's written in it? Is it related to Brother Luo Xia?"

Hibari's enlarged cloud-like hand pinched Sentomaru so hard his eyes rolled back.

However, even now, the fat man was still biting his lip tightly, muttering indistinctly, "Give up, I'm the most discreet man in the world, I will never reveal the secrets I know."

"Zhan Momomaru!"

The lark stamped her foot, then suddenly her eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them.

“If anything happens to Brother Luo Xia, I…I…I will go with him.”

Sentomaru's lips trembled, his stiff neck went limp, and he said dejectedly in a low voice, "Hibari! Don't be like this, Rorschach will be alright. He... he just... he just..."

Sentomaru's voice grew softer and softer, but he finally gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice, "He has only been arrested and will soon be taken to Enies Lobby to face a public trial by the World Government and the Navy."

"what?"

The lark's eyes widened little by little, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

She released her grip on Sentomaru, staggered a few steps, and her face was completely drained of color, even paler than when she arrived at Egg Point Island.

"Brother Luo Xia... he's been arrested? And he's going to have a public trial? Why?"

The lark's voice trembled; she couldn't believe it, she couldn't accept it.

Then, under Sentomaru's worried gaze, she bit her lip, turned around quickly, and ran towards the port of Egg Point Island.

"lark!"

Sentomaru panicked and quickly chased after him.

"You...you don't worry, Luo Xia will be alright! You still have serious injuries that haven't been treated and you need a long time to recover. If anything happens to you, Luo Xia will definitely kill me, Yun Que!"

However, Hibari completely ignored Sentomaru's shouts. Without even boarding the ships at the port, she took flight, transforming into a cloud, and tried to fly away from Egg Point Island.

Sentomaru was sweating profusely with anxiety. He glanced at Vegapunk, then at Kuma, then at Hibari who had turned into a white cloud and flown away. Finally, he closed his eyes and shouted.

"Alright! Lark! Come back! I'll have Bear take you there!"

A moment later, the pale-faced lark flew back and stood in front of the bear.

She was worried about Luo Xia, and thinking of some unpleasant scenes, she almost lost her footing.

Sentomaru sighed, then forced himself to remain calm, lowering his voice to say, "Rorschach's public trial is scheduled for September 10th. It's the 9th now. Even if Kuma had the power to send you flying to Enies Lobby, it would probably take two days. I think, Hibari, you should just set your destination at Impel Down..."

"Snapped!"

He slapped himself hard across the face, looked at Hibari who was already in tears, and steeled his heart, deciding to throw caution to the wind and confess, "Rorschach killed Doflamingo, and the World Government wants to punish him. He might face imprisonment, Hibari, you need to be mentally prepared. You are Admiral Akainu's daughter, you need to be strong. I think Rorschach doesn't want to see you sad either. If that happens, he... he will be in a lot of pain in Impel Down."

The lark didn't answer; she just bit her lip so hard it bled.

"Sister Yun Que, what's wrong?"

Bonnie looked at the crying Lark, her eyes also reddening, and her mood became depressed.

Over the past few days, she has developed a strong liking for this easy-going navy woman.

Lark is very gentle and tells Bonnie adventurous stories, such as the golden land of the Skypiea and the great tsunami in Water Seven, which fascinates Bonnie.

Now, seeing the gentle Hibari crying so sadly, Bonnie also wants to cry.

Fortunately, Vegapunk was there to offer kind words of comfort.

The bear slowly opened its paws, which were covered in soft pads, and whispered to the lark:

If you were to travel, where would you like to go?

Yun Que clenched her white-knuckled fingers, looked at the large hand that slapped down, and uttered three words.

Impel Down.

Chapter 567 Red Hair and Dragon

Several days have passed since Rorschach's public trial, but more than a dozen ships remain anchored off the coast of Enies Lobby, waiting for the World Government's final verdict on Rorschach.

"Weiwei, dinner's ready."

On the Carrera cargo ship, Bell called out to Vivi, who was standing on the ship's side, staring blankly toward the direction of Enies Lobby.

Vivi stared blankly at the massive city gate towering over the island for a long time before letting out a long breath, pursing her lips, turning around, and walking towards the cabin.

"coming."

Somewhere a few kilometers from Enies Lobby, on a seemingly deserted sea, a layer of flowing gale-force winds caused the seawater to ripple slowly, stirring up air currents and forming a barrier that distorted the air.

Inside the barrier, two men who could be considered to stand at the pinnacle of the world met for the first time.

Shanks looked at Dragon, who had materialized out of thin air, and a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

"I never expected to meet the famous leader of the Revolutionary Army here. Dragon, are you also here for that young naval soldier named Rorschach?"

Upon hearing this, Dragon slowly shook his head, stood on the air barrier formed by the airflow, and looked at Shanks, "No, I came for you."

"Oh? You came to see me?"
