One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Sengoku's mind was completely occupied with the information Garp had just revealed, and he had no time to care about Smoker. He could only point at Aokiji opposite him and say:

"Ask Kuzan. You're one of his men. If he agrees, go ahead."

“I’m going even if he doesn’t agree! I’ll just quit the Navy and rejoin in the New World,” Smoker said stubbornly.

During the Warring States period, his face was as black as ink.

"puff!"

Garp, who was eating senbei, sprayed Sengoku's face with spittle.

Kizaru pouts as usual.

Aokiji sighed in distress.

"I approve, Smoker. You can report to G5 anytime."

Smoker received permission and, not wanting to stay in Marineford for even a moment longer, turned and left.

Behind them came the roar of the Warring States period.

"Why can't there be a few obedient guys in the navy? They're all disobedient bastards! It's infuriating!"

In the hallway outside, Tashigi, holding a long sword, looked expectantly at Smoker as he walked out.

"Major General Smoker, has the Field Marshal agreed?"

"Yes, let's set off immediately for the new world!"

Smoker clenched his fist.

"Great! We can finally see Lieutenant General Rorschach! And Skylark too!"

Tashigi was so happy she almost jumped for joy.

G5.

"Is the lieutenant general still not awake?"

Outside Luo Xia's courtyard, several furtive figures were peeking inside, searching for Luo Xia.

"Hey, you guys, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be on patrol? Aren't you supposed to be training the new recruits? I'm talking to you, Bepo!"

The sudden sound behind him startled the polar bear, who was peeking over the wall with his rear end sticking out. He quickly turned around and saw Luo, carrying a medicine box, staring at him with a dark expression.

"Ah, it's a major general!"

Bepo, Pekin, and Deckard, whom he had forcibly dragged together to become his underlings, quickly stood up straight.

Of the group, Bepo was the biggest.

It's unclear whether it's because it ate the artificial Azure Dragon Fruit or because of the Mink Tribe's physique, which allows it to grow to this size naturally.

Bepo is now over three meters tall, almost twice his previous height.

It's big and plump, covered in white fur, and still looks as cute as before, just a bit bigger overall.

In terms of physical strength alone, Bepo, who ate the artificial Blue Dragon Fruit, would rank third in the G5 branch.

Apart from Rorschach and Palmer who ate the Strength-Strength Fruit, even Ban who ate the Saber-Tooth Tiger Fruit and Penn who ate the Triceratops Fruit could not surpass Bepo in physique.

If he transforms into his Sulong form on a full moon night, his power will increase significantly, making him almost as strong as Pamel.

Looking at Bepo and the others, who all looked simple-minded, Law felt a sense of frustration that he couldn't vent.

However, as the deputy base commander of G5, Law still held considerable authority in front of Bepo and others.

At least, Decalban and others feared him second only to Rorschach.

Who made it so that the five thousand prisoners who came out of Impel Down had their hearts taken by Law one by one using his powers?

"Speak up, why aren't you doing your job? What are you doing here?"

Luo forced a straight face and said.

Bepo scratched his huge, furry bear head and grinned sheepishly. "Major Admiral, I just wanted to see if the Vice Admiral was awake. If he is, I wanted to ask... can the Mink Tribe awaken Conqueror's Haki?"

"Conqueror's Haki?" Law looked at him expressionlessly.

"Yes, Conqueror's Haki. You heard about it, Major General? Vice Admiral Garp said that Lord Enel and that idiot Pamel have both awakened Conqueror's Haki! That's a kingly quality that only top-tier powerhouses possess! I'm convinced that Lord Enel awakened Conqueror's Haki. But why can that big oaf Pamel awaken it too? That's not fair! I want it too!"

Bepo gestured exaggeratedly, looking very aggrieved.

He was clearly a veteran member under Rorschach, while that big oaf Palmer was just a later addition.

They awakened Armament Haki together initially, and recently they also awakened Observation Haki one after the other.

He himself obtained a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, while Palmer later obtained the Strength-Strength Fruit, which was said to be the most suitable for their giant race.

The two have always been rivals, with similar military ranks and seemingly comparable abilities.

But things are different now.

Bepo learned from Garp that Pamel actually seems to possess Conqueror's Haki!

Is this still available?

Bepo had heard Rorschach say long ago that Conqueror's Haki is a top-tier talent that only one in a million people possess.

Moreover, it's not just a talent, but also a prerequisite for mastering Conqueror's Haki Entanglement.

What is Conqueror's Haki Entanglement?

That's the world's top-level technique for using power; even a Marine Admiral can't get past it without Conqueror's Haki.

Upon learning this devastating news, Bepo instantly felt jealous.

It seems that his position in G5 has been swapped with Palmer's, dropping from fifth to sixth in G5.

This was even more painful for him than killing Bepo.

So, he would go to Luo Xia's house every few days, wanting to ask Luo Xia how to awaken Conqueror's Haki.

"You want to awaken Conqueror's Haki?"

Looking at Bepo, who looked as aggrieved as an 800-pound child, Luo couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He felt that Bepo probably had no hope of awakening Conqueror's Haki in his lifetime.

However, seeing Bepo nodding repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, Law refrained from discouraging him and instead offered a word of comfort.

“Rorschach hasn’t woken up yet. Once he does, I’ll ask him if there’s a way to awaken Conqueror’s Haki.”

"Thank you, Major General!" Bepo was overjoyed and opened his two large, hairy hands to hug Law tightly.

After those idiots left smugly, Luo, his face dark, brushed off the bear fur clinging to his clothes and said sullenly:

"You want to awaken Conqueror's Haki? I want to awaken Conqueror's Haki too!"

Chapter 598 The Red Bellyband Is Not Suitable for You

"Dong dong dong."

Luo, familiar with the place, went up to the third floor of Luo Xia's house and knocked on Luo Xia's door.

"Luo, I knew it was you. Come in."

"Huh? You're awake?"

Luo was stunned for a moment, then pushed open the door and saw Luo Xia sitting with his shirt off, leaning against the headboard.

Beside him, a weary-looking lark was curled up and fast asleep.

Luo Xia reached out and pulled the blanket from the bed, gently covering her with it.

Upon seeing this, Luo shook his head.

"Rorschach, I really don't know what kind of good fortune you have in your past life to be favored by a gentle and considerate girl like Hibari. Every time you are seriously injured and unconscious, it is Hibari who is busy taking care of you in every possible way. Seriously, if you don't treat Hibari well in the future, not only Admiral Akainu, but we will not let you off the hook."

"Hehe, so you're treating yourself like Yun Que's family?"

Rorschach chuckled.

He reached out and gently stroked Yun Que's hair, whispering, "But don't worry, I will definitely treat her well."

"Alright, I didn't come here to watch you show off your love."

Luo opened his medicine box, took out some pills, placed them on the bedside table, and casually asked:

"Is there anything else that's bothering you? How's the damage to your internal organs? With your Observation Haki level, you should be able to sense your own physical condition, right? Should I cut open your body and give you a thorough examination inside and out?"

As he spoke, he pulled a gleaming short knife from his medicine box, which made Luo Xia's lips twitch.

"Hey, Luo, aren't you a doctor? Why do you have a weapon in your first-aid kit?"

"I'm a user of the Op-Op Fruit, a Marine Headquarters Surgeon of Death. Isn't it normal for me to carry a scalpel with me? Do you still want to treat my illness?"

Luo looked at him with a "you're fucking kidding me" expression and ignored him.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, alright? As for cutting me open to see my internal organs, let's skip that."

As you said, I already checked with my Observation Haki. Although Kaido's Armament Haki caused some damage to my internal body, as long as it's not fatal, I can recover completely after eating something."

Rorschach raised his hands in surrender.

"However, these scars on my body are a bit of a problem."

Luo Xia pointed to the hideous scars covering his chest, abdomen, shoulders, and arms, and said with a headache:

"The external injuries to other parts of the body have basically been repaired by the body itself. But the places that were hit by Kaido's entanglement seem to be harder to heal. These small scars are fine, but these large scars are really unsightly."

He touched his chest, noticing several obvious dents in his abdomen, the result of being struck by Kaido's spiked club.

Muscles and skin tissue were destructively pulverized by the power of the binding force.

"If this continues, I'm afraid I'll have to change my name to Kenshiro."

Luo Xia looked miserable.

"What Kenshiro?"

Law couldn't understand Luo Xia's point at all. He paused for a moment, shook his head, and pointed at Luo Xia's face, saying, "You should be glad that Kaido's big club didn't hit you in the face. Otherwise, let's see how you go around flirting with other women in the future."

"When did I ever flirt around? Wait, which side are you on anyway? Hurry up and think of a way to get rid of some of my scars with your surgical fruit. If that doesn't work, I'll probably have to ask Uncle Sakazuki which tattoo artist got his rose tattoo."

Luo Xia stroked his chin, pondering what kind of tattoo he should get to cover up the increasing number of scars on his body.
