One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

The pirates hurriedly brought Atmos, who had been half-dead from being hit by Jozu, to Marco.

Marco's expression instantly turned equally grim upon seeing Atmos's miserable state.

In just over ten seconds, Ace was injured, Vista was knocked away, Jozu was knocked away, and Atmos was seriously injured.

When has the Whitebeard Pirates ever suffered such a great loss?

"Oh dear, we're surrounded. What a terrifying sight, Whitebeard Pirates."

A lazy voice drifted from afar through the forest, which had been utterly devastated by the violent impact of the previous burst.

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates gripped their swords and spears tightly, looking nervously in that direction.

They couldn't help but be nervous.

Even if they are the strongest pirate crew in the New World.

Facing a monster that could fight Kaido of the Beasts for two days and two nights, and that could defeat Vista of Flower Sword and Diamond Jozu in a single encounter, they had no choice but to be on high alert.

"Tread, step, step..."

The heavy footsteps approached from afar, like drumbeats striking everyone's hearts, making them feel heavy.

The air seemed to solidify, giving one the illusion that they couldn't breathe.

Amidst the billowing dust, a massive humanoid silhouette emerged.

Those bulging muscles like a dragon, those broad shoulders like a city wall, those towering antlers on its head, and that ferocious tail trailing behind it all evoke the image of the strongest monster in the new world.

Kaido of the Beasts!

But the one in front of us is clearly not Kaido.

As the billowing dust was torn apart by a massive, muscular hand, a colossal figure standing nine meters tall appeared before the Whitebeard Pirates.

The azure scales reflected the midday sun, as if crafted from the finest metal.

His muscles, encased in layers, resembled undulating hills and valleys, and his wall-like chest was covered with hideous, enormous scars.

The curved hooves easily pierced the ground beneath their feet, as if they were rooted to the ground, giving people the illusion that they were unshakeable.

On a face as sharp as if carved by a knife and axe, a pair of cold and majestic azure vertical pupils looked down at the group of pirates on the beach.

"Lan...Lan Lin...Lieutenant General Lan Lin!"

The moment Rorschach appeared, the pirates who were nearby were so frightened that they fell to the ground and fled in a frenzy, scrambling away from the area within a hundred meters of him.

Ignoring these pirates who appeared to be elites but were actually just lowly minions, Rorschach led the somewhat pale-faced Enel straight into the center of the Whitebeard Pirates' encirclement of over a thousand men. His gaze passed over Marco, Vista, and many other captains who were glaring at him, and looked down at Whitebeard, who was standing at the bow of the ship looking down.

Wherever he went, the crowd scattered like sardines thrown into a giant shark's embrace.

It was as if Rorschach was a monster that would devour anyone it wanted, ready to extend its giant claws at any moment, grab the pirates around it, throw them into its mouth, and chew them up.

"Whitebeard, you wanted me to come in person, and here I am. I've brought back all the trash pirates under your command, but where are my two G5 admirals?"

Ignoring the various complicated gazes from the pirates around him, Rorschach met Whitebeard's gaze and spoke calmly.

The white-bearded man grinned.

"Gurarararar, you little blue-scale brat, your tone is really arrogant, just as annoying as that candle-lighting brat Akainu."

Although he said that, Whitebeard was clearly not really angry.

He turned his head and called out.

"Blenheim! Bring the man out."

"Yes, Father!"

A deep voice rang out on the deck.

Immediately afterwards, a burly man led dozens of pirates out, dragging Pamel and Bepo, who were bound by seastone chains.

Pamel and Bepo had been fighting the Whitebeard Pirates for two whole days without eating a single thing, and were now completely exhausted.

But the moment they saw Rorschach, the two of them suddenly seemed to be injected with adrenaline and scrambled up from the deck.

The sea stone chains binding Parmel rattled as he swung them with a flick of his wrist.

The pirate, clutching the sea stone chains, screamed as he was flung away and crashed into the nearby sea.

Even with the Seastone binding his Power-Power Fruit powers, the sheer strength of the giant race still caused Blenheim to stumble, nearly being thrown away along with the other pirates.

"Lieutenant General!"

"Lord Lieutenant General!"

Palmer and Bepo rushed to the bow of the ship, leaped over Whitebeard, and tumbled down onto the beach below.

"Damn it!" Blenheim roared in anger and was about to rush forward to stop him, but Whitebeard waved his hand to stop him.

Palmer and his companion fell from the Moby Dick, which was dozens of meters high, and landed heavily on the ground with a loud thud. However, they got up as if nothing had happened, pushed aside the pirates blocking their way, and ran to Rorschach.

Pamel, dragging his body clad in seastone chains, a deep shame etched on his enormous face, stood upright before Rorschach, raised his hand in salute, and roared:

"I'm sorry, Vice Admiral! It's my incompetence that I couldn't even withstand the pirate attack, and now I've put you in such danger. I will take full responsibility for this loss!"

Bepo, who had originally intended to pounce at Rorschach's feet, saw Pamel's actions and a hint of shame appeared on his furry bear face. He hung his head and stood in front of Rorschach, shouting loudly:

"Me too! Lieutenant General! I'm so sorry! I failed to protect everyone!"

Rorschach looked calmly at the two men, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "You have indeed failed in your duties as officers. In this incident, more than two hundred soldiers died because of your incompetence. Palmer! Bepo!"

"exist!"

Palmer and Bepo responded loudly, tears streaming down their reddened eyes.

Rorschach said sternly:

"Your military rank will be reduced by three levels, and your daily training load will be doubled from now on! Do you have any objections?!"

"No! Lieutenant General!"

Rorschach grabbed a handful of air, which swirled up the soil on the ground and compressed it into two keys, which landed in the arms of Palmer and Bepo respectively.

"Remember today's lesson: if you are not hardworking or strong enough, then you will never be able to protect your comrades, nor will you be able to control your own destiny. You may even cause the death of your comrades!"

"Shame will inspire courage! Remember these faces that brought you shame and pain, and if you have the chance in the future, take back the dignity you have lost!"

"Enel, take them away."

Palmer and Bepo, their faces filled with shame, gritted their teeth and quickly unlocked the seastone chains binding them. Without saying a word, they simply bowed their heads and walked toward Enel.

Enel gave Rorschach a deep look, said nothing, and turned to leave with Pamel and Bepo.

"Stop them! Don't let them leave easily!"

"Karma's pirate crew was wiped out by them, and Whitey Bay and Squard's pirate crews were also completely destroyed by these bastard marines. We absolutely cannot let them leave like this!"

Seeing that Enel and his companions were about to leave, the surrounding pirates became unhappy and raised their weapons to surround them.

"Do you... want to die?"

Rorschach's gaze grew cold.

A terrifying aura, like a volcanic eruption, suddenly burst forth from his mountain-like, imposing body.

Black and red lightning crackled and hissed as it spread across the surrounding crowd. The energy orb, like a phantom of a planet, instantly expanded, enveloping the island within a radius of several thousand meters.

In an instant, hundreds of the clamoring pirates around them fell like wheat being harvested.

Their eyes rolled back and they foamed at the mouth.

Those who were close by even coughed up blood from their mouths and noses, and flew backward as if struck by lightning.

A cloud of sand and stones flew across the ground.

Apart from the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, the remaining elite pirates, though not fallen, were covered in cold sweat, as if they had just been pulled out of the water.

The look in Rorschach's eyes was now filled with fear.

Such terrifying Conqueror's Haki made them feel as if they were facing Shanks!

At this moment, the Whitebeard Pirates finally understood the weight of the title "Vice Admiral Bluescale".

"Whoever dares to lay a hand on someone will die."

Rorschach's gaze was as if he were looking at a swarm of ants.

Every pirate whose gaze swept over him felt a sense of oppression, as if a mountain had suddenly appeared on his body, making him want to kneel down.

"Arrogant!!"

Joz, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't hold back any longer. His five-meter-tall body shone with the brilliance of diamonds in the sunlight, and the ground in front of him instantly exploded, sending up a straight plume of dust.

Despite its seemingly heavy body, it possesses explosive speed like a phantom whirlwind.

In less than a second, he covered a distance of tens of meters, and his diamond-studded giant fist, like a cannonball, slammed into Luo Xia's face.

Rorschach remained expressionless, raising his right hand, the size of a tabletop, high as if swatting a fly, and slapped it down at Joz, who rushed towards him.

"Boom!"

The air didn't have time to escape from his palm and was slammed into an explosion.

The sky above Joz suddenly darkened, sending a chill down his spine.

Rorschach's burst of speed was so fast that he was able to overtake others even after he had started.

His punch didn't even have time to touch Rorschach's face.

"Shining Guardian!"

A massive, deep blue hand, shrouded in domineering energy, descended, as if the heavens themselves were collapsing.

Faced with a palm strike that seemed to shatter the island beneath his feet, Jozu had no time to retreat and could only activate the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit, transforming every part of his body into the hardest diamond.

At the same time, a powerful armor formed from advanced Armament Haki covered the surface of the diamond.

He had barely made a basic defensive move when Rorschach's large hand was already covering his body.

Joz's body, which had been struck, crashed into the ground in front of Rorschach like a meteorite, going hundreds of meters underground.

Under the impact of the immense power, Jozu felt as if his diamond-like body was about to be shattered by this slap.

My head is spinning, and my vision is blurry.

"Let's do it!"
