One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

But a year ago, after learning from people about the naval boy he had been following and his own beliefs, Yixiao suddenly felt relieved.

He felt that he could wait a little longer, and perhaps he didn't need to join the navy.

Because if things go as expected, in the not-too-distant future, that young naval officer who keeps creating miracles will surely accomplish what he envisions: completely abolishing the unreasonable Shichibukai system.

It was because of this thought that Yixiao entered the East Blue half a year ago due to a certain opportunity, and met Luffy, who seemed both innocent and kind to him.

When she was first invited by that young man who was almost old enough to be her grandson, Yixiao simply took it as a joke.

However, after following Luffy on his journey to the East Blue and gaining companions such as Nami, Sanji, and Usopp, Issho suddenly realized that, without realizing it, he had completely become part of the adventures of a group of teenagers.

They won't fawn over me because of their strength, nor will they be afraid because of the scar on my eye.

We are all partners, and we get along very well every day. We all have our own dreams.

Naïve, yet persistent.

They yearn for adventure on the high seas, yet they do not bully the weak; instead, they help the vulnerable everywhere.

Although sometimes I'm afraid, I'm willing to risk my life for the safety of my companions.

Such a pirate crew is more like an adventurer on the sea than a pirate crew.

After a short six-month adventure, Yixiao felt that her heart had settled down.

The laughter of Luffy, Sanji, Nami, and everyone else made him feel warm.

Perhaps, choosing to be a pirate like this isn't so bad.

As his thoughts wandered, the smile that had appeared on Yixiao's face suddenly disappeared, and he became serious.

He turned his head toward the direction of the main gate of Enies Lobby. His incredibly powerful Observation Haki allowed Issho to sense, even from dozens of kilometers across the sea, that a powerful enemy no less formidable than himself had arrived.

Moreover, it wasn't just one person who came.

"Rorschach... this meeting is probably going to be a bit awkward. I even received an invitation to join the Navy back in Jonathan's time."

Yi Xiao sighed, holding his staff and sword, and sat quietly on the roof of the Tower of Justice, silently waiting for the captain and his companions to win.

Inside the Justice Tower.

Sanji faced off against Jabra, Franky against the owl, Chopper against Kujira, Nami against Kalifa, and Usopp and Robin against Kaku.

As the captain, Luffy was fighting Rob Lucci, the strongest genius CP9 had seen in 800 years, at the top of the tower.

After defeating Gecko Moria, Luffy, who now has a bounty of 300 million Berries, is already quite powerful.

But at this moment, Lucci was facing an extremely difficult battle.

Because of Rorschach's interference, Lucci's life trajectory changed slightly.

He was provoked by Rorschach and awakened Armament Haki ahead of schedule.

It can be said that Lucci's current strength is even greater than Moria's.

Finger gun!

A jet-black, sharp finger pierced through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, aiming straight for Luffy's eyes.

Before those dark fingers even got close, Luffy was already crying from the sharp gust of air.

Having activated second gear, his speed was comparable to the Navy's Six Styles Shave. With a light tap of his foot, his figure disappeared directly in front of Lucci.

"boom!"

Lucci's finger pierced straight through the wall of the Justice Tower behind Luffy.

Luffy, who had flashed to a distance, saw a hole the size of a human head, transparent from front to back, that had appeared in the more than one-meter-thick cement wall, and couldn't help but show a hint of lingering fear.

"How dangerous! Pigeon Man, you're even more troublesome than Gecko Moria!"

Compared to Moria, who possesses superhuman strength, Rob Lucci, whose speed and strength are no less than Luffy's at this moment, is clearly a greater threat.

"However, I will definitely defeat you!"

Luffy formed a palm with his left hand and a fist with his right, aiming a punch at Lucci's back.

"Rubber rubber! Jet pistol!"

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Lucci turned around with lightning speed, clenched his right fist, and threw a punch that intercepted Luffy's right fist in mid-air with perfect accuracy.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, a gust of wind rose, and Luffy cried out in pain, clutching his swollen right hand as he flew backward and crashed into the wall with a loud thud.

"You brat who hasn't even mastered Armament Haki, what makes you think you can get that monster under your command? Straw Hat, compared to that blind guy, you're utterly useless as captain!"

Lucci's lips curled up, and his curved leopard legs stomped through the air, propelling him into the air. He then unleashed a black light storm kick, more than ten meters long, at Luffy, who was lying on the ground groaning in pain.

"Armed Tempest Kick! Black Moon!"

"Shh!"

A black, crescent-shaped slash descended from the sky, cutting Luffy in half.

At the critical moment, Luffy did a somersault, grabbing his head to avoid the massive slash that was cutting into the ground above him.

"Boom!"

With a teeth-grinding cracking sound, the thick ground of the Tower of Justice was forcibly ripped open, creating a rift leading to the lower space.

Luffy gritted his teeth, his figure flashed, and instead of retreating, he advanced to meet Lucci's attack.

"Rubber rubber! Jet stamp!"

His right foot, spewing out high-temperature steam, lashed out at Lucci like a whip.

"Iron block! Arm yourself!"

Lu Qi's expression remained unchanged, his muscles tensed like iron, and his skin turned a dark black.

With a deafening roar, he was struck by Luffy's right leg, groaned, and crashed to the ground.

Armament Haki's defensive power is indeed formidable, but it is not invincible.

When subjected to a powerful impact, it will also suffer some damage.

Amidst the swirling dust, Lucci wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared intently at Luffy, who was panting heavily.

"It seems I underestimated you."

"Huff...huff...I've never underestimated you, you pigeon man!"

Luffy was breathing heavily, his breathing labored, as if he were pumping a bellows.

In the next instant, the two figures disappeared from the spot almost simultaneously.

When it reappeared, it had already unleashed a fierce and relentless attack on the opponent.

"Rubber! Rubber! Storm!"

Luffy roared, and his two hot, red arms shot out like taut bowstrings, instantly unleashing dozens or even hundreds of punches.

If Rorschach were here, he would notice that there was a faint resemblance to Garp's Bone Meteor Shower in his move.

On the other side, Lucci also swung his arms in a blur, instantly unleashing hundreds of heavy punches covered in Armament Haki.

"Fingergun! Spotted!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

A flurry of fists collided in the air, causing the air to explode and roar.

Both men had been hit dozens of times by each other's fists.

Luffy gritted his teeth, and a crisp cracking sound came from his chest. The rubber skin was smashed open by Lucci's fist, and blood gushed out from the torn blood vessels, staining his body red.

Lucci was also in bad shape, blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he was beginning to be shaken by the power Luffy had displayed.

He never imagined that a pirate brat who hadn't even mastered Armament Haki could beat him up like this, even though he had awakened Armament Haki two and a half years ago.

You should know that Lucci has been training hard in Water Seven and Enies Lobby for the past two years, all in the hope that one day he can avenge his previous defeat and get revenge on Rorschach.

However, he was injured so badly by a mere kid who had only been at sea for a short time.

If Luffy is the trash he calls himself, then what is he?

Wouldn't that be worse than trash?

The title of CP9's strongest genius in eight hundred years seems to be nothing but a joke in front of Rorschach and this Straw Hat Boy.

Thinking of this, Lucci was enraged. He roared and activated Life Return, his body swelled up, becoming much larger. He endured Luffy's storm of punches, clenched his fists, and his burly body lunged forward, crashing into Luffy's arms. With both fists out, he slammed into Luffy's chest in Luffy's furious gaze.

"Six Styles of Secret Techniques! Six Kings' Guns!"

Lucci's massive black fists slammed into Luffy's chest, unleashing a powerful shock that instantly blasted into Luffy's body. The shock forcefully shattered the accelerated flow of blood and qi within him, causing Luffy's eyes to roll back and blood to spurt out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth like a high-pressure water jet.

Its body arched backward, flying backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the thick wall behind it, creating countless large cracks in the wall of the Justice Tower, which then sank into it in a star-shaped pattern.

Lucci, having achieved a decisive victory, showed no intention of holding back. With a swift movement of his foot, a black storm kick over ten meters long slashed down upon Luffy, who was embedded in the wall.

"Third gear!"

Luffy bit his tongue, forcing his collapsing consciousness back to normal. He took a deep breath, and his small body swelled up like an inflating balloon in an instant.

"Pfft!"

The more than ten-meter-long Storm Kick slashed across his broad chest, cutting a narrow wound five or six meters long, and blood gushed out from his body like a waterfall.

"Hmph! Your body's already reached its limit, hasn't it, Straw Hat Boy!"

Lucci had already seen through Luffy's current physical condition. He used Moonwalk repeatedly in the air to rush over at high speed, intending to press his advantage and finish Luffy off.

"I won't fall here! I'm taking Robin out of here..." Luffy gasped for breath, his eyes turning bloodshot, and roared, "I'm taking Robin out of here!"

"Second gear! Third gear!"

Without hesitation, he used the combined second and third gear techniques, which would cost him his life.

In an instant, wisps of white, high-temperature steam rose from Luffy's massive, giant-like body, and his skin rapidly turned scalding red.

Under Lucci's shocked and furious gaze, Luffy, having completed his superimposed transformation, shot towards him like a giant cannonball, crashing into him with a bang.

"Rubber rubber! Jet rocket launcher!"

"Straw Hat Boy!!"

Lucci roared, trying to throw a punch to retaliate, but it was too late.
