One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

His voice trembled and choked with sobs as he hurriedly explained, "No...no! Captain Karma! I just heard that Whitebeard was the most righteous pirate. My brother and I killed a lot of civilians, our hands aren't clean, and I'm afraid if I tell, my father will kill me."

"Why are you killing civilians?" Karma demanded sharply, her long sword still in her hand.

“We didn’t mean to. Those civilians were too weak, like ants, they would crumble at the slightest touch. Captain Karma! If the Whitebeard Pirates don’t want us, we… we can leave.” Rorschach’s legs went weak, and he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Karma ignored Rorschach's last sentence and instead became interested. She sheathed the long sword that had frightened Rorschach so much that he couldn't stand up straight, and looked at Rorschach and Enel with great interest, saying, "Oh? Too weak? So, you two brothers are very strong? Show us."

“I wouldn’t dare show off in front of Captain Karma.” Rorschach shrank back, seemingly still shaken by the memory of being pointed at by Karma’s longsword earlier.

"Cowards! It'll show me what they're made of!"

Karma glared at the timid Rorschach and shouted something.

"Yes, Captain!"

A burly fishman, standing three and a half meters tall, appeared in response, spreading his two thick arms and sweeping them horizontally towards Rorschach and Enel.

The dozens of pirates in the courtyard all wore smiles of anticipation, waiting for Rorschach and Enel, these two country bumpkins from Totto Land, to be beaten down by their Octopus Pirates' first mate.

then……

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, Itus, whose massive body was even larger than Rorschach and Enel combined, let out a muffled groan and flew through the air, smashing several pirates who were watching the show behind him, making them cough up blood. He then crashed into the wooden house behind the house with undiminished force, smashing the thick brick walls and wooden planks to pieces.

"what?"

The pirates in the courtyard were all dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at Rorschach and Enel, who were waving their arms in a blocking stance.

"What happened? How did First Mate Ites get thrown out like that?"

"Are you kidding me? Ites is a pirate with a bounty of 160 million Berries! How could two mere thugs possibly knock him flying?"

Karma was also stunned.

This time, however, he didn't draw his long sword. Instead, he looked at Rorschach and Enel in surprise and asked, "What kind of martial arts are you using? They're so powerful!"

Luo Xia scratched his head blankly, "Huh? We don't know any martial arts. We brothers are just born with superhuman strength."

"Innate superhuman strength?"

Karma and the group of pirates were all stunned.

“We brothers were born this strong, and we can eat a lot, so we often get into trouble and are not well-liked by the people in town…”

"Let me test your strength!"

Karma interrupted Rorschach, took a step forward, and her short body shot over in a flash. All six arms swung out at Rorschach, and they were covered in a layer of black color.

This guy even used Armament Haki.

Luo Xia used the same motion he had used to block Ites, clumsily covering his head and face, and wildly swinging his arms out.

"Oh!"

Another explosion rang out, and a fierce wind swept through the courtyard. The pirates around them could barely stand and were thrown over with screams.

Karma, who had leaped into the air, let out a muffled groan and followed in the footsteps of his first mate, Ites. His small body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing through the wall behind him.

This time, however, Rorschach was also sent flying by his six arms, crashing through the courtyard wall and rolling onto the long street outside, causing chaos.

"Damn it! Catch them!"

When the pirates saw their captain, Garma, being knocked away by Rorschach, they were enraged and grabbed their swords and guns, surrounding Rorschach and Enel.

"Stop it, all of you!"

Suddenly, Kalma's voice came from the hole in the house.

The pirates stopped and turned around to see their captain, Karma, striding out of the broken house with a big smile on his face. He showed no displeasure, but rather great joy.

He walked up to Luo Xia, who had fallen to the ground, and personally helped the dazed Luo Xia up from the ground, laughing as he patted Luo Xia's arm.

"Very good! Brother Enni, you and your brother Eel will be following me, Garma, from now on. With you joining us, my Octopus Pirates might soon surpass Squard and Whiteybe and become the strongest vassal pirate crew under my father!"

"Really? Captain Karma?" Rorschach was overjoyed, but also a little uneasy, he muttered in a low voice, "But we killed a lot of civilians, and Father..."

Karma waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't worry! Dad won't concern himself with such trivial matters!"

Karma has already seen through the earlier probing.

It turns out that Rorschach was simply using brute force to block, without any technique. He just blocked and knocked away Rorschach's Armament Haki attack with a simple block.

This inhuman brute force reminded Kalmar of two other well-known brothers in the New World, the Vancl brothers.

I heard that the two brothers were born with superhuman strength, possessing a physique comparable to Armament Haki hardening without any training.

The two brothers in front of me are probably this type of people.

Karma felt a surge of joy, as if she had struck gold.

To reassure the two brothers, Aini and Ailu, Karma continued:

"We are pirates from the New World, how could we not kill people?"

Why do you think Old Man is called the strongest man in the world? Do you think the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability to destroy the world is just a rumor?

Every time Daddy takes action, it causes upheaval and tsunamis. Those submerged islands and towns have forged Daddy's invincible reputation!

"How can we intimidate Kaido and Shanks, and the Marines, without killing them?"

"It's just killing a few people. In our Whitebeard Pirates, there is only one inviolable rule, and that is... never killing our own comrades!"

Karma's words resonated with the surrounding pirates, who all showed expressions of awe.

“That’s right! This is my father’s benevolence! My father’s heart is as vast as the ocean of the new world. He often said that we are all children of the ocean, and he treated us all equally under his command.”

"This is our Whitebeard Pirates, the most united pirate crew in the world."

After receiving a positive reply from Rorschach, Karma was very satisfied and pleased to have gained two capable subordinates.

He was well aware of the immense growth potential of people like Aini and Ailu, who possessed monstrous physical talents without any prior training.

Without training in physical techniques or awakening dual-color Haki, he could still defeat Itus, who had a bounty of 160 million, and block his own fist wrapped in Haki, simply by relying on his strength.

If they awaken their domineering aura in the future, and then the captains teach them a couple of powerful physical techniques, what would that be like?

Who knows, maybe two captain-level pirates will emerge from my own Octopus Pirates crew.

Thinking about this, Karma couldn't help but smile with joy.

"This is like a windfall, we've made a fortune."

He looked at Enel, who hadn't spoken, and asked in confusion, "Brother Enel, why hasn't your brother Enel said anything?"

"Oh? Him? He was sick when he was a child and his brain was damaged by a fever. He has the mental capacity of a three-year-old and can't even speak."

Rorschach patted Enel on the shoulder and chuckled.

Enel's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he really wanted to shoot a bolt of lightning into Rorschach's face.

God the hell, Enni and Ailu! When did I, the mighty Skypiea Thor, fall to the point where my brain is fried and I can't even speak?

"Oh, that's so pitiful."

Karma's eyes showed sympathy.

"By the way, Captain Karma, I saw you were about to go out earlier. Are you heading out to sea? I wonder if you could take us with you? My brother and I just joined and we'd like to show our abilities and contribute to the pirate crew." Rorschach, who had just joined the Octopus Pirates, asked proactively.

"Haha, you're quite straightforward! Fine! I do plan to set sail and attack Northman's gang on Isaac Island. Since you want to go, come along! With your brothers' help this time, we'll definitely take them down, and I'll give you a few women to play with!"

Chapter 602 Even a Great Philanthropist Can't Support 50,000 Subordinates

"You're really planning to become a pirate? Go with that guy to burn, kill, and plunder?"

On the Octopus Pirates' ship, Enel whispered something to Rorschach without making a sound.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I need to see for myself the difference between the Whitebeard Pirates and the other Four Emperors' crews in the New World. Remember, we are observers here; do not reveal our identities easily. No matter how unbearable the scene may seem, remain calm."

Luo Xia said solemnly.

Several hours later.

Karma, the octopus-man, lay on the ground covered in blood, looking up at Rorschach with a mixture of anger and horror.

"Bastard! Aini! Who are you? Why did you betray me?"

Enel's lips twitched as he glanced sideways at Rorschach.

Is this what you meant by not easily revealing your identity?

Is this what you mean by staying calm?

It took him half a day to join, and he even acted like a complete idiot for a moment.

So you got exposed in just two hours?

You're kidding me!

Enel turned around and scanned his surroundings.

This is the island of Isaac that Kalmar mentioned, only twenty miles away from Salk Island as the crow flies.

On the ground nearby lay hundreds of pirates, led by a one-eyed bearded man named Northman Cox, the occupant of Isaac Island, nicknamed the One-Eyed Butcher, with a bounty of 270 million Berries.

Northman was no weakling, but with the help of Rorschach and Enel acting as forwards, Karma still managed to defeat him after some effort.

Then, Karma led a large group of pirates into Isaac Island and began their daily pirate work.

Burning, killing, looting, raping.

Rorschach remained calm even when he saw Karma's pirates setting fires and vandalizing houses on the island.

When he saw First Mate Ites leading a group of pirates to rob people, looting money and food from house to house, his face darkened.

When he saw the Octopus Pirates gathering the men of Isaac Island, preparing to tie them up and sell them as slaves, he realized they were a threat.

The women were captured and given as rewards to the subordinates who had rendered meritorious service.

The plan was to kill all the old men, and capture the children to raise as fresh blood for the future pirate crew.

Even more impatient pirates, grabbing one crying, desperate woman after another, started taking off their pants.

Rorschach couldn't take it anymore.
