One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Luo Xia's eyes twitched at the sight.

That woman, Sadie, actually listened to what he said.

But what about Magellan and Hannibal?

As Luo Xia listened to the incessant sounds of diarrhea coming from the far end of the corridor deep in the office, his lips twitched involuntarily.

Magellan, as expected, went to the toilet again.

And Hannibal...

Rorschach's face darkened. His gaze passed through the rows of prison guards exercising and landed on Hannibal, who was reclining on a wicker chair, legs crossed, drinking an iced beverage.

The guy's big belly was gone, replaced by a body of bulging muscles. His tall figure, now without fat, looked much fiercer than before, and he no longer had that foolish look.

His muscular physique, combined with his fierce face resembling Magellan's, was enough to intimidate most of the prisoners in the jail.

However, Rorschach didn't expect that Hannibal would start slacking off again after he had only been away from the site for a few days.

"This won't do. If you want to uphold the justice you believe in, this lazy attitude won't do, Hannibal."

The sound from afar startled Hannibal, who was lying down drinking an iced beverage. His wrist trembled, and he dropped the juice he was holding.

He turned his head frantically, looking around, and shouted, "Lieutenant General Rorschach! No! Hannibal knows he was wrong, I'll... Ahhh!"

A tiny arc of electricity instantly traveled hundreds of meters, passing over the guards' heads and striking Hannibal on the forehead. The shock caused his muscles to twitch, his mouth to twitch, and he collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth and emitting black smoke.

The jailers swallowed hard, not daring to look any longer, and hurriedly buried themselves in their training, fearing they would attract Lieutenant General Rorschach's electric shocks.

Little Sadie completely ignored Hannibal, who had fallen to the ground and was convulsing wildly. She giggled and approached Rorschach, saying coquettishly, "Lieutenant General Rorschach~, how did you use your Devil Fruit power? Aren't you still wearing Seastone shackles? And more than ten of them are extremely pure Seastone chains."

Rorschach's lips curled slightly at his words. He dodged Sadie's voluptuous body as she pressed against him, sat down on the recliner where Hannibal had been sitting, picked up the chilled juice on the table, poured himself a glass, took a sip, and looked at Hannibal, whose mouth was crooked and eyes were slanted.

"This isn't a Devil Fruit ability, Sadie."

“Not ability?” Sadie was stunned.

“Hmm.” Rorschach nodded. “Even if I’m strong, I can’t shield myself from the suppression of Devil Fruit abilities by the Seastone chains. That current just now was just me using the Life Return technique to simulate the structure of an electric eel’s electricity generation in my body’s cells, allowing me to release an electric current attack like an electric eel. Although it’s far less intense than the current generated by the ability, it has given me a new understanding of the mysteries contained within the human body.”

"Just like the Mink Tribe's Sulong form when they transform on a full moon, they can also unleash electric attacks?"

Magellan strode out from the passage behind him.

Luo Xia smiled and stood up. "The two are similar in principle, but not exactly the same. The Mink Tribe's Sulong form's electric attack effect may be generated by friction of the bulging fur. One generates electricity internally, and the other generates electricity externally. My Qilin ability is the former, but perhaps because it is a mythical beast, the effect of generating electricity is much greater than that of a normal human."

Magellan looked at Rorschach and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad. It's clear that the training with the Seastone Chains has had some effect. Your understanding and development of your own abilities are becoming more and more profound. I imagine it won't be long before your Qilin form abilities are developed to the point of awakening."

"No way, I'm still a long way from awakening my abilities," Luo Xia quickly waved his hand.

He wasn't being modest; it was simply the truth.

The Kirin Fruit is incredibly powerful, comparable to Kaido's Azure Dragon Fruit.

The stronger one's ability, the harder it is to awaken. Rorschach felt that he was still a long way from awakening his Devil Fruit.

At least, a current intensity of one billion volts is probably far from the limit of the Kirin Fruit.

"Well, but I still need to remind you of something."

Magellan pointed behind Rorschach to the four snotty-nosed, silly-looking jailer beasts squatting heavily under their weights, and said:

"Awakening Zoan-type Devil Fruits carries certain risks. Look at these four guys, they awakened their ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities, but their brains went haywire, and they became like this, stupid and foolish, only left with some animal instincts. They will never be able to wake up again."

Rorschach frowned, looking at the Minotaur, the Mino Zebra, the Mino Koala, and the Mino Rhinoceros.

"Uncle Magellan, do you know the specific risks of awakening a Zoan-type Devil Fruit?"

Magellan shook his head.

"I'm not entirely sure either. It probably depends on the strength of the user's will. It's said that when a Devil Fruit power awakens, a demon awakens within the user. Once the user loses control, they are devoured by the power and become the demon's slave. As for the specifics, I think you can ask Vegapunk after you get out of here. He definitely has the relevant details."

As they were talking, Rorschach saw Domino emerge from the passage above and walk toward them, carrying a stack of new newspapers.

"There's a new newspaper again! Let me see if anything interesting has happened outside."

Rorschach took a newspaper and unfolded it with a smile.

However, when he unfolded the newspaper, he only glanced at it, and his face showed a look of utter astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost.

"What is this? Are you sure this isn't just some jerk Morgans spouting nonsense?"

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Magellan was somewhat surprised by his startled voice and looked down at the newspaper that Rorschach had spread out in his hand.

The front page featured news about a new pirate crew that Magellan had never seen before.

"Shocking! The grandson of Marine hero Garp has set sail to become a pirate, defeating Arlong the Fishman, Buggy the Clown, and Bayam the Steel Sword in the East Blue, forming the Straw Hat Pirates. He was put up with a bounty of 3000 million Berries as soon as he set sail."

"Ikkyo, the blind swordsman and vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, fought against the world's strongest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, near Reverse Mountain and remained undefeated. He has his first bounty of 1 billion Berries! At the same time, he has received an invitation from the World Government to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Magellan was dumbfounded, his mouth agape.

"Vice Admiral Garp's grandson went to sea and became a pirate, and even recruited a great swordsman who fought to a draw with Hawkeye as his first mate?"

He was dumbfounded, and Luo Xia was even more bewildered, looking utterly disillusioned, as if the chilled juice in his hand had turned bitter.

"Damn it! The butterfly effect doesn't work like this, does it? If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have tricked Zoro into joining the Hunter Guild in the first place. Haha! If you become a pirate on Luffy's ship, who will be the future Admiral Fujitora?!"

"And what's wrong with you? Why did you run off to the East Blue instead of staying in the Grand Line? It's still supposed to be 1519 in the Sea Calendar, right? Can anyone tell me what's going on with this world?"

"Damn it! The future is completely messed up!"

Chapter 577 The One-Year Term Has Arrived

"Garp! It's that bastard grandson of yours causing trouble again!"

Sengoku angrily threw Moria's bounty poster at Garp's face.

"Gecko Moria is truly a piece of trash, a disgrace to the Seven Warlords of the Sea! He can't even defeat a mere Straw Hat Pirates crew."

Garp removed the wanted poster from his face, his face showing not surprise but delight, a wide grin spreading across his face.

"Hahaha, as expected of my grandson, he's so capable. He even defeated Moria. Now the bounty is going to go up again. This is really a headache."

"Is that a headache you're looking at? Stop it, you bastard!"

Sengoku's shoe flew out and landed hard on Garp's face, leaving a clearly visible shoe print, which left Aokiji, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, speechless.

"Oh my, how could Gecko Moria possibly defeat the current Straw Hat Pirates? Don't forget that great swordsman named Issho is Straw Hat's vice-captain."

"A smile..."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo immediately gritted his teeth, pressed his hand to his chest, and plopped down on the sofa.

He felt a slight pain in his heart.

Sengoku really couldn't understand why a sea monster as powerful as Issho would join a small pirate crew that had just set sail.

That guy, a year ago, the World Government sent him an invitation to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea because of Rorschach's reminder. What did he say back then?

He said he would never join a pirate crew.

And who knows, he might even join the Navy in the future and become a member of the righteous cause.

At the time, Issho's words pleased the high-ranking naval officers in the Sengoku period, who thought that the navy might receive a top-level combat power boost comparable to that of a naval admiral in the future.

However, this illusion was shattered not long ago.

Who would have thought that a mere sixteen-year-old brat who had just set sail would gain the favor of a fifty-year-old, top-tier maritime expert?

Is that guy really serious?

"The Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the Weight-Weight Fruit, a powerful fruit on par with Shiki's Float-Float Fruit. That guy even summoned a meteor from outer space during his fight with Hawkeye Mihawk. Such a terrifying fruit, why do you think your grandson got it?"

Hearing Sengoku's seemingly helpful but actually envious and jealous words, Garp couldn't help but pick his nose.

"I don't know either. However, my grandson must have enough charm to attract some excellent companions. Didn't the little guy from the Vinsmoke family join his adventure party?"

"It's a pirate crew!" Sengoku emphasized through gritted teeth.

Karp continued picking his nose, pretending not to hear.

Sengoku glared at him fiercely, then turned to look at Aokiji.

"Kuzan, where is the Straw Hat Pirates now? After defeating Moria and passing through the Devil's Triangle, shouldn't we be heading to the Sabaody Archipelago next?"

To everyone's surprise, Kuzan shook his head.

"No, I don't think their routes are fixed. You know, Yixiao's ability allows him to ignore the sea and sky and make his ships fly tens of thousands of meters into the air at will. I don't think their ships need to use traditional coating methods to enter the New World. If they wanted, Yixiao's ability could allow them to easily cross the Red Line."

"Damn it! Another air pirate crew, one after another, why are they all so troublesome!" Sengoku felt an increasing headache as he listened.

"However, if Fleet Admiral Sengoku really wants to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates, it's not impossible."

Kuzan abruptly changed the subject and spoke up again.

Zhan Guo was taken aback and looked at him.

"How to do it?"

Karp stopped picking his nose, and one of his ears quietly perked up.

"It's simple, that kid's sentence will be over in a couple of days. If I go with him..."

Before Kuzan could finish speaking, Garp's smile froze.

Sengoku's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed with delight, "I almost forgot! Rorschach is about to be released from prison! That's great! When he gets out, we'll have him go and catch the Straw Hat Pirates who're causing trouble everywhere."

"Hey, hey, hey, is it really appropriate to send two Marine Admirals out for a small pirate with a bounty of 300 million Berries?" Garp was a little flustered.

"Now you're getting anxious?" Sengoku rolled his eyes, snorted, and said slowly, "Rorschach isn't a Marine Admiral..."

"Don't even try!"

Garp yelled, "Don't think I don't know what that kid has been doing in Impel Down this past year. He's got all the prisoners under his thumb in the entire Infinite Hell, even Douglas Barrett and Ryder have been beaten up by him one by one. Now the jailers in Impel Down all call him the uncrowned king of Impel Down, his status is no less than Magellan's. He eats and drinks like a king every day, living a more comfortable life than I did in Marineford."

"He's not that good. Don't flatter that kid. Barrett and his gang have been imprisoned for over a decade. Their physical strength has long been worn out. They're also wearing Seastone handcuffs. How much strength could they possibly have?"

"That kid wasn't wearing any seastone?"

"I'm not going to argue with you. Either you hurry up and get your good grandson to turn himself in, or give up being a pirate, or I'll wait until Rorschach is released from prison tomorrow and send him and Kuzan to arrest your grandson!"

Kuzan lay on the sofa, watching the two old men, both in their seventies and eighties, making a ruckus in the office.
