One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Boom!"

Amid a series of deafening explosions, Yamato's body crashed through factory walls.

The violent tremor detonated the explosives stored in the factory, and flames shot into the sky.

Violent explosions occurred one after another, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.

Soon, the entire weapons processing plant, which covered a vast area, was completely engulfed in flames.

This important business under the Beasts Pirates was reduced to ruins in an instant.

In the burning steel factory, a figure dressed entirely in white slowly rose, leaning on a black spiked club.

Snow-white fur grew wildly on Yamato's body, her ears became long and pointed, her fiery red demon horns on her head straightened slightly, and her eyes became narrow and shimmered with a strange light.

Her tall figure became even more slender, and her teeth turned into snow-white fangs.

As Yamato revealed this form, an extremely cold aura erupted from her, instantly suppressing the fires that had broken out in the surrounding factories.

Not only that, the icy cold also froze the shattered earth and steel ruins beneath her, creating a thick layer of ice as hard as steel.

"A Zoan-type Inu Inu Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Great Mouth God form. A mythical creature capable of manipulating ice power."

Luo Xia watched quietly as Yamato completed his transformation. Then, with a flash, his imposing figure pushed forward, compressing the air in front of him to form a steel wall of air that crashed down on the now-powerful Yamato.

"A person without self-will can never become strong. Yamato! With your abilities, you will never defeat Kaido! Kozuki Oden was a fool. You worship a fool, a loser. You might as well... worship me!"

"I would never idolize another Kaido! Kozuki Oden is a hero of Wano Country! I will not allow you to insult him like this!"

Yamato roared and charged forward, his spiked club, wreathed in freezing cold, sweeping towards Rorschach.

Wherever it passed, the earth froze into ice, forming a straight ice path that shot directly into Rorschach's face.

"Ice Slash!"

"Boom!"

Luo Xia gripped the Heavenly Dragon Halberd with one hand, and briefly clashed with Yamato's spiked club in mid-air. The ice layer surging from Yamato's side was shattered by his violent force.

A force like a raging torrent crashed down, pressing down on Yamato, who was gritting her teeth, and blasted her away again, flying diagonally into the sky like a cannonball.

Before Yamato could adjust her backward-flying posture, the air behind her exploded, and a thigh as thick as a stone pillar slammed down on her waist from above.

"Oh!"

Yamato's loose kimono burst open, a long stream of blood spurted from his mouth, and his body crashed to the ground like a meteorite.

"Boom!"

Below, a towering, 100-meter-high snow-capped mountain collapsed with a thunderous roar, pierced through section by section by the falling Yamato body.

"Crack!"

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and Luo Xia, like a meteorite, crashed down, raising his Heavenly Dragon Halberd high and slamming it down on Yamato, whose wrist was trembling uncontrollably.

"Unservant Ice Fang!"

Despite the piercing pain coursing through his body, Yamato opened his mouth full of fangs and spewed a burst of ultra-low temperature freezing air at Rorschach, who was charging towards him.

The air above Yamato's head began to freeze instantly as she exhaled the ultra-low temperature freezing air from her mouth.

As Rorschach swooped down, his massive body was instantly engulfed by a massive amount of freezing air and frozen solid by a thick layer of ice.

Yamato managed to catch his breath for a few seconds, gritted his teeth, and burst out of the shattered mountainside, rushing towards the outside.

"Click-clack-click-clack!"

A series of crisp sounds came from the ice behind her, making Yamato, who was running wildly, feel a chill. She turned around abruptly and saw the ice, which was as hard as iron, shatter. A huge figure covered with dragon scales flew over like a spinning top. Its tail, covered with ferocious bone spikes, was like a giant whip that lashed at the Armament Haki armor covering her body.

With a loud bang, Yamato's Armament Haki armor dented, and he coughed up blood again as he flew backward.

A massive shadow loomed overhead, and a large hand grabbed her head, slamming the flying Yamato into the cold ground of the icy island.

On the distant warship, Luo watched Yamato's miserable state from afar, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

"Rorschach, I think you're the real Kaido's son, aren't you?"

Chapter 592 Thunder Sea Sun! The Strongest Combo!

The rumbling and vibrations on the ice island continued for more than an hour before stopping.

At the bottom of the massive, shattered crater in the center of the island, Yamato, having exhausted all his strength, lay on his back in the cold soil, looking at Rorschach standing before him with a resentful expression.

Rorschach's grotesque, dragon-scale-covered body blocked the moonlight from the sky, casting shadows over Yamato's voluptuous figure.

In the eyes of the exhausted Yamato, Rorschach's current appearance was almost identical to Kaido's, except for his face.

The same towering stature, the same unparalleled power, and the same savage and terrifying strength completely shattered the beliefs that Yamato had always held onto.

Her eyes were moist, and tears were about to flow.

"Damn Kaido! Kozuki Oden was invincible, unmatched in the world! I am not his daughter, I am Kozuki Oden, the shogun of Wano Country!"

Luo Xia silently looked down at the weeping Yamato, a hint of pity in his eyes.

"Invincible under heaven?"

"What misconception makes you think that Kozuki Oden was invincible? Was it a diary entry he wrote to boast about himself?"

Yamato gritted her teeth, glaring at Rorschach with reddened eyes, "I won't allow you to talk about him like that! Oden... he's a hero of Wano Country!"

"hero?"

Luo Xia scoffed.

Do you even know what a hero is?

"A hero is a brave person who has more perseverance to overcome difficulties than ordinary people, more ability to defeat opponents than ordinary people, and more endurance to overcome himself than ordinary people."

"And a nation's heroes are those brave warriors who, in the nation's most perilous times, can turn the tide, reverse the tide, and save the nation from collapse!"

"If you simply regard Kozuki Oden as an ordinary individual hero, then based on the personal strength he displayed during his lifetime, which was no less than Kaido's, his chivalrous and unrestrained spirit, and his unconventional way of doing things, he could certainly be called a hero."

"But he is the shogun of Wano Country, the heir to a country, and the Lord Oden in the eyes of the people living in Wano Country."

"With such a status, Oden, amidst the turmoil in Wano Country, the country in chaos, the people suffering, pirates causing trouble, and Orochi rebelling, repeatedly abandoned his country to pursue his own adventures at sea, ignoring the cries of his followers and refusing to listen to the pleas of his own people. And you're telling me that such a selfish person is a national hero?"

"Indecisive and lacking in ability, he possesses immense strength yet places his hopes for saving the nation on the enemy's charity. After five years of naked dancing, he still has to take up arms to fight back. Because of a promise from the enemy, he willingly lays down his weapons and walks into a vat of boiling oil to die, entrusting the future of the entire nation to vague prophecies and destiny!"

"This is not heroism, this is selfishness, this is stupidity! Even if Kaido hadn't entered Wano Country, this hopeless idiot would have been easily killed by Kurozumi Orochi."

With each word Rorschach spoke, Yamato's face grew paler, and more tears streamed from his eyes.

The determination in his eyes gradually softened, replaced by hesitation.

Rorschach shrunk in size, took off the bracelet he was wearing on his wrist, and put it on Yamato's wrist.

A snow-white military uniform quickly covered Yamato's naked body, concealing her beautiful figure exposed to the air.

Rorschach, whose body was radiating a deep blue aura and lightning armor, looked at Yamato lying on the ground and shook his head.

"Yamato, if you were one of the people of Wano Country waiting for the great hero Kozuki Oden to save them, would you still consider him a national hero and a qualified ruler?"

"In fact, you should thank your father for being merciful enough. Otherwise, as the Protector of the Nation, he could have sunk the entire Wano Country to the depths of the sea long ago. Perhaps it is because of you, who have always considered yourself the Shogun of Wano Country, that he did not go all out. Otherwise, do you think those hidden remnants of the Kozuki clan could have held out until now?"

"Furthermore, don't be naive. It's one thing for you to say that Kozuki Oden was invincible in Wano Country. But there are plenty of people stronger than him on this vast ocean. Spend more time learning about this world. This world is far bigger than you imagine. Wano Country, a tiny country the size of a sesame seed, doesn't even deserve to be called the world!"

Yamato bit his lip as he climbed out of the pit, staring blankly at Luo Xia's departing figure for a moment.

She lowered her head, looking at the bracelet on her wrist and the snow-white military uniform she was wearing, and for the first time felt a little lost about her life.

In front of the weak and vulnerable people of Wano Country, Yamato's overwhelming strength allowed her to confidently call herself Oden and a man.

Because of her insistence, even the entire Beasts Pirates called her Master Yamato instead of Princess Oni.

Kaido had no choice but to treat her like a son and teach her as such.

But at this moment, in front of this powerful young naval officer, Yamato's so-called confidence, which concealed his vulnerability, was ruthlessly shattered.

The inner turmoil and uncertainty about self-judgment, hidden deep within, were laid bare.

It turns out she had been deceiving herself all along.

Yamato raised his hand and pressed it against his chest, feeling the softness and elasticity in his palm, and bit his lip hard.

She is not a man who thinks he is superior to others.

It's not the Kozuki Oden who died more than ten years ago.

She is a woman, Kaido's daughter.

Her name is Barbarossa Yamato.

More than a dozen dilapidated pirate ships were heading this way on the sea more than ten miles away from Ice Island.

Katakuri and Jin each stood on two large ships sailing side by side, looking up at the distant sky with solemn expressions.

There, high above the icy island, a ball of light several thousand meters in diameter suddenly appeared, like the bright moon falling from the sky.

Most pirates are unable to see the truth behind that dazzling light.

But even powerful beings like Katakuri and King could clearly see that the constantly flickering ball of light was a lightning bolt, three to four thousand meters in diameter, composed entirely of endless lightning.

The moment they saw the massive ball of lightning, the image of the tens of thousands of pirates that Rorschach had wiped out in a single blow during the G1 Great Battle flashed through their minds.

Sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations perceived by his Observation Haki, Jin's expression beneath his mask turned extremely grim.

He began to hesitate, wondering whether he should lead the pirate army behind him to continue forward.

Faced with such a massive, catastrophic thunderstorm, he himself was barely able to protect himself, let alone the pirates behind him.

Even if he and Katakuri joined forces, they probably wouldn't be able to completely withstand this cataclysmic disaster.

Only if Kaido himself comes can there be any hope of stopping this terrifying power that inspires awe.

While he was still hesitating, Katakuri on the Queen's Ship on the left had already given the order to stop advancing.

He didn't want to lose his younger siblings' lives under that fierce, thunderous sun.

"Stop! Jhin!"

Seeing that Jhin had not yet given the order to stop advancing, Quinn, who was standing to the side, could no longer hold back.

He covered one of his bruised eyes and shouted from the side.

King, unwilling to accept defeat, gripped the Second Generation Kitetsu tightly in his hand, and suddenly cleaved the ship's side in front of him with a single strike. He roared, "All members of the Beasts Pirates! Halt! Wait here for Kaido to arrive!"
