One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Hearing his words, the shy lark nestled in his arms squirmed, broke free from his embrace, stood up straight beside him, raised her hand in a military salute to Magellan and the others, and solemnly said:

"Uncle Magellan, Deputy Commissioner Hannibal, Sadie, Domino, thank you for taking care of Brother Rorschach this past year."

"What are you saying? We're overjoyed that you came to Impel Down. In fact, I should thank you for turning those lawless prisoners in Infinite Hell into obedient inmates."

Magellan found Rorschach more and more pleasing to the eye, and couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, Rorschach, it would be so much better if you could stay and work in Impel Down. I don't think anyone is more suitable to be the warden of this prison than you."

Upon hearing this, Hannibal, who was standing behind Magellan with a silly grin, froze.

"What? Lieutenant General Rorschach is suitable to be the warden? What about me? I'm the future warden! Damn it! Magellan! I challenge you to a duel! You diarrhea bastard!"

"belch."

"Damn it! Hiccups again, you're doing it on purpose. Ugh, I'm going to die, I want to be the chief..."

Rorschach and Lark were both amused by this guy.

Rorschach laughed and said, "I am unworthy of Uncle Magellan's high regard. However, I think Hannibal does have the potential to become the warden. He is a good man with a strong sense of justice, but he is too lazy. Uncle Magellan, you need to give him a good nudge. By the way, to express my gratitude, I had Hibari bring Hannibal a gift."

"Hmm? A gift?"

Hannibal, who was lying on the ground foaming at the mouth, perked up his ears, scrambled to his feet, and ran to Rorschach with a fawning smile, saying, "Lieutenant General Rorschach, what's the gift?"

Magellan couldn't help but clench his fists when he saw his smug look.

Rorschach smiled and looked at Lark.

Lark understood, reached into his sleeve, took out a strange fruit covered in spiral patterns, and handed it to Hannibal, whose eyes were shining.

Hannibal swallowed hard and reached out with a trembling hand to take the fiery red fruit.

"This is... a Devil Fruit?"

Devil Fruits are rare and expensive. Even someone like him, the vice warden of Impel Down, would need to accumulate enough military merits to obtain one.

But now, Rorschach has brought him a Devil Fruit.

Hannibal could hardly believe his eyes. He looked at Rorschach, pointed to himself, and asked, "Lieutenant General Rorschach, is this for me?"

Rorschach nodded.

"This is the Paramecia-type Heat-Heat Fruit, Charlotte Owen's Devil Fruit ability. It allows him to heat up his body and transfer that heat to weapons or objects, reaching temperatures high enough to melt the earth into magma, or even boil rivers and seas. Hannibal, I've noticed you enjoy using your Bloodsucking Blade to unleash similar fire attacks, so I'll keep this Heat-Heat Fruit as a thank you gift. Develop and use it well; it will be an extremely powerful ability."

Magellan moved his lips, wanting to persuade Rorschach to take it back.

This gift is far too precious.

The value of this Paramecia-type Devil Fruit is at least one billion Berries or more.

Although Charlotte Oven is not one of the Four Sweet Commanders in Big Mom's crew, in terms of strength, he is in no way inferior to any of the Four Sweet Commanders except Katakuri.

But Hannibal, that blockhead, got so excited that he ate the Heat-Heat Fruit on the spot, almost making Magellan furious.

Hannibal was so moved that tears streamed down his face. He knelt down in front of Rorschach with a thud and bowed deeply in worship.

“Thank you, Lieutenant General Rorschach. From this day forward, you are my godfather. Godfather, please accept my gratitude…”

"Get out of here."

Rorschach kicked him away with a disdainful shove, then looked at Magellan seriously and said, "Uncle Magellan, you should be more careful with Barrett. I don't think he's a peaceful guy. Don't be fooled by my victory over him; he didn't even unleash his full potential. His stamina is too incredible. I suggest we reduce his food to once every seven days, just enough to keep him alive. This guy is too dangerous; we absolutely cannot let him find a chance to escape."

"I will."

Magellan nodded solemnly.

"Okay, then we'll be going. Take care, everyone, and see you next time!"

Rorschach smiled and saluted again.

"Aren't you going to have lunch before you leave, Lieutenant General Rorschach?" Sadie looked at Rorschach with a pitiful expression.

"Forget it, this kid is probably eager to go home now, his mind is no longer with us. Sadie, don't force him to stay, hahaha."

Magellan laughed and gave a mischievous look at Lark standing next to Rorschach, making Lark blush.

"Uncle Magellan really understands me, hahaha, I'm off!"

Luo Xia laughed loudly, and amidst Yun Que's exclamation, he reached out his large hand, wrapped it around her slender waist, and with a light step, leaped into the air and onto the deck of the Qilin.

The Kirin quickly took off, leaving the sea in front of Impel Down and soaring into the sky, disappearing from everyone's sight.

The jailers were stunned as they watched the massive Gate of Justice slowly open in front of Impel Down.

If they had known that Lieutenant General Rorschach's warships could fly and disappear underground, why would they have bothered opening the Gates of Justice?

Chapter 580 Only When You Grow Up

Ten thousand meters above the ground, the Kirin, with its wings spread, steadily traversed the rolling sea of ​​clouds, resembling a strange dragon-headed bird.

Outside the ship, the wind howled and the clouds rolled and unrolled, while below lay the vast landscape and boundless ocean of the One Piece world.

Looking down from the ship's side, you can even see the disc-shaped Naval Headquarters and the Sabaody Archipelago, which looks like blooming flower buds.

Further away lies the red earth continent, stretching across the entire surface of the planet like a giant red dragon.

Such a magnificent view is enough to leave everyone who sees it in awe and unable to look away.

Rorschach was in the same boat at that moment.

But his gaze was not on these magnificent mountains and rivers, but on the shy girl in front of him.

Yun Que felt her face burning and her heart pounding as he looked at her with undisguised fervor.

My body felt weak and limp, and I could hardly stand.

"Brother Luo... Brother Luo Xia, are you hungry? I... I'll go cook for you. I've prepared lots of fresh ingredients."

She avoided Luo Xia's gaze and tried to turn around and run into the cabin.

But how can a little white rabbit be faster than a big gray wolf?

She turned around and her petite body was lifted up by two strong hands and pulled into their arms.

Lark's heart pounded even faster, and her whole face turned bright red, like a panicked little rabbit caught by Rorschach, the hunter.

"Fresh ingredients? Heh, isn't this it?"

Luo Xia slowly leaned down, bringing his handsome and masculine face close to Yun Que's.

Their faces were only two centimeters apart, and their breath hit each other's faces.

Luo Xia stared intently at her fluttering eyelashes, then lowered his voice and whispered in the girl's ear, "I want to try the taste of Lark."

"Brother Luo Xia..."

The lark's voice trembled, as if it were weeping, and its body was limp and powerless.

Seeing Yun Que's shy, coy demeanor, Luo Xia felt a fire burning within him.

He chuckled softly, picked up Yun Que, and strode into the captain's cabin on the Qilin.

"Let's take a shower first."

bath?

Together?

Nestled in Rorschach's arms, Lark's eyes widened as the scene of their intimate encounter at the Alabasta hot springs involuntarily flashed through her mind.

Her brain completely shut down.

Several tens of minutes later.

In the captain's cabin, Luo Xia sat helplessly on the floor, looking at Yun Que, whose eyes were red and who was carefully applying ointment to his body.

"I already told you it's just a minor injury, it doesn't hurt at all. With my recovery ability, it'll just be a matter of eating a meal at most."

"Hmph! Brother Rorschach doesn't know how to take care of his body at all. He gets injured wherever he goes. Why did he have to fight that evil pirate, the Devil's Heir, in Impel Down? I heard from Sengoku that they mobilized an entire Buster Call fleet, including Sengoku and Garp, to capture him. What would we do if something happened to you?"

The lark pouted sullenly, her upturned pink lips so thick they could hold a kettle.

Her charming and lovely appearance stirred Luo Xia's heart once again.

Seemingly noticing Luo Xia's gaze, the little girl who was applying ointment to him trembled, and her face turned red again.

Luo Xia swallowed hard, his large hand reaching out restlessly, wanting to wrap around the girl's slender waist, but the girl nimbly dodged him.

Luo Xia took a deep breath and pounced like a hungry tiger, grabbing her amidst the lark's startled cry.

Yun Que bit her lip, turned her burning face to the side, and whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Brother Luo Xia, no...no, I'm not grown up yet. Sister Kong Que said I have to grow up first."

Luo Xia suppressed a laugh and teased, "What can I do then?"

"I...I don't know." Yun Que closed her eyes, not daring to look at Luo Xia at all.

Luo Xia bent down, buried his face in her black hair, took a deep breath, and then stood up with a smile, pulling the limp girl up with him.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the lark to grow up."

"Um……"

Lark buried his head in his chest like a quail and ran out of the captain's cabin as if fleeing.

Inside the room, Luo Xia took a deep breath and pinched his thigh hard.

Rorschach felt he should reflect on his actions.

Why is it that I can't control my restless heart every time I'm in front of Yun Que?

Where is his composure?

Even an iron will is useless.

He had never felt this way when facing other equally beautiful women like Vivi, Tina, Peacock, and Sadie.

"Damn it, is that girl Yun Que my destined nemesis?"

Luo Xia covered his face.

"Speaking of which, this girl's figure is getting better and better..."

"Brother Rorschach, look! What a beautiful view! Do you think our world is really a giant sphere? Like the planet you're talking about?"

On the proud dragon head sculpture at the bow of the Kirin, Lark nestled in Luo Xia's arms, sitting side by side, gazing at the vast world below with eyes full of amazement.

"Yes, our world, like the sun, moon, and stars in the sky, is a giant planet. Look, we are only ten thousand meters above the ground right now, and the ocean already appears as a huge arc. If we go any higher, you can see the whole world clearly. However, the air becomes thinner and the temperature drops further up, which ordinary people cannot withstand."
