One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Marco remained silent, unsure of what to do.

If Rorschach were just an ordinary vice admiral, he might actually capture Rorschach and then have the New World navy exchange some benefits for him.

Krosha's strength was far beyond Marco's expectations.

Even if we really wanted to kill Luo Xia, now is definitely not a good time.

When this person goes berserk, his destructive power is enough to wipe out an entire island.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he's all alone here.

If the two sides were to truly break off relations and go to war, we don't know how many people would die as a result.

More importantly, when Marco watched the Whole Cake Island battle last time, Rorschach had not mastered the power of Conqueror's Haki.

However, in the final strike, he happened to unleash the Overlord's Entanglement.

But things are different now.

This guy has clearly mastered the terrifying attack of the Overlord's Entanglement.

Faced with the immense power of the Overlord, apart from him, Vista, Jozu, and a few other captains, the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow.

Therefore, it's impossible to fight.

Just as everyone was hesitating, Whitebeard, who had been standing on the Moby Dick, suddenly moved.

His tall body suddenly leaped high from the bow of the ship and crashed heavily to the ground.

The captain's coat draped over his back cast a large shadow on the ground.

As Whitebeard jumped down, an aura as heavy as a mountain emanated from him, but it did not leak out; instead, it pressed down on Rorschach with unparalleled concentration.

For an instant.

Luo Xia felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, incredibly heavy.

The immense pressure came like a tidal wave, affecting not only the mind but also the body.

"Are you going to make your move, Whitebeard!"

Luo Xia's eyes narrowed, lightning roared within his body, and his powerful and domineering aura soared into the sky.

"Gurarararar! Rorschach, right?"

The white-bearded man strode over, a wide grin spreading across his face as he let out a strange yet hearty laugh.

"To be honest, I'm quite surprised to see such an outstanding navy like yours in this era."

"Dad!"

The surrounding pirates quickly made way for Whitebeard.

Some of the captains were worried about Whitebeard, so they crowded around behind him and walked toward Rorschach.

Whitebeard walked up to Rorschach, the two of them less than ten meters apart.

Rorschach could see Whitebeard, the man of great importance in the pirate world, with perfect clarity.

Tall, strong, covered in scars, with a hearty smile and a signature crescent-shaped white beard beneath his nostrils.

Her golden curly hair was tied up with a white headscarf and remained in place.

It possesses a majestic yet not domineering aura, as solid as a mountain, completely different from Kaido's domineering presence that looks down upon all living beings.

Such a man is a born king.

In the context of One Piece, he would be the pinnacle of pirates, the uncrowned king of the New World.

In the navy, that would be the Fleet Admiral who commands all forces of justice.

Rorschach was sizing up Whitebeard.

Whitebeard was also sizing up Rorschach.

Rorschach's appearance in his Blue Scale form does indeed resemble Kaido's.

But how could Whitebeard be the kind of person who only looks at appearances?

His incredibly powerful Observation Haki even allowed him to clearly sense the beliefs that Rorschach held dear.

That indomitable, uncompromising, and resolute will even moved Whitebeard.

Speaking of which, Whitebeard remembered that Marco had mentioned the name of this young naval boy, who was even younger than Ace, a long time ago.

That must have been in 1517, the time when the Celestial Dragons were killed in the Sabaody Archipelago.

From then on, the boy's name appeared in various newspapers almost every now and then.

At first, Whitebeard didn't pay much attention.

Who is he?

Having lived this long, what kind of outstanding people haven't I seen?

Oden, who was able to challenge himself at the age of eighteen.

Lingling was so powerful in her teens that she was like a monster.

At the age of fifteen, he achieved remarkable results and challenged Roger's Barrett.

Rocks, Roger, Rayleigh, Garp, Sengoku...

Hawkeye, Shanks, Crocodile, Jinbe...

Whitebeard has seen far too many so-called geniuses and so-called strongmen.

Compared to these people, Rorschach's achievements at that time were merely a flash in the pan.

until,

The G1 naval battle has begun.

In that grand war that gripped the entire world, the indomitable will and extraordinary talent displayed by the boy before him finally came into his view.

Even Shiki died smiling at his hands.

It was only then that Whitebeard had a sudden realization.

This young man before me may well be the last remaining member of the navy in this era.

He saw in Rorschach the shadows of powerful naval warriors.

Garp, Zephyr, Sengoku, Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji.

If the person Roger has been waiting for hasn't been completely identified yet...

The person Garp, Sengoku, and the other Marines were waiting for was undoubtedly Rorschach.

His existence will make him the most formidable enemy that countless pirates will face in the future.

At this moment, even Whitebeard felt a slight hesitation.

He hesitated, wondering whether he should take action against the prodigy before him for the sake of the future of the pirate era.

If we can kill Rorschach here, then the bright future that Roger is looking forward to will surely come true, right?

However, this slight hesitation only appeared in Whitebeard's mind for a moment before disappearing.

He felt ashamed that such thoughts could even cross his mind.

What the future holds is none of his business, especially since he's an old man with one foot in the ground.

The tide of the times is rolling forward, and the future should be handed over to the young people.

I have received enough in my life, there is no need to ask for anything more.

Since Roger and his companions believed so strongly in destiny, how could they be sure that the young man before them wasn't part of that destiny?

Upon thinking of this, the white-bearded man smiled.

He naturally extended his large hand towards Rorschach.

“Rorschach…”

The moment Rorschach saw the white-bearded man extend his large hand, his scalp began to tingle.

Appeared!

Whitebeard's classic quote!

In the New World, the Four Emperors each have their own ways of recruiting subordinates.

If the older woman takes a liking to someone, she'll take you in as her son-in-law.

Anyone Kaido sets his sights on, he'll knock them down with a big stick, then lock them up to toughen them up.

If Shanks takes a liking to someone, he'll invite them out with a grin and treat them like a brother.

If you catch Whitebeard's eye, he'll invite you to be his son!

Rorschach didn't want to be Whitebeard's son.

Therefore, he decisively gave a three-part rejection.

"No! I refuse! Goodbye!"

Luo Xia uttered a single sentence, and his massive body rose from the ground, swirling with wind and thunder, shooting rapidly into the distant sky.

Whitebeard's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and before he could finish speaking, Rorschach's figure had almost disappeared from sight.

Marco, Ace, and the others stared in disbelief, their mouths agape.

"You wretched brat!"

Whitebeard's lips twitched, then he suddenly gritted his teeth, clenched his outstretched hand into a fist, raised his right arm high, bent his arm, and punched in the direction Rorschach had shot towards.

"Click-clack-click-clack!"

As Whitebeard slammed his fist down, the air in front of him shattered with cracking sounds, like broken glass, leaving clear cracks.

As these ever-spreading cracks suddenly shattered, a tremendous, earth-shaking shockwave erupted from the spot where Whitebeard had thrown his fist, blasting out in the direction Rorschach had left.

"boom!"

The entire deserted island trembled violently, and the land in front of Whitebeard churned and rose like waves, with millions of tons of soil flying into the sky and crashing down on Rorschach, who had just jumped onto a warship on the other side of the island.

Luo Xia ignored them, unleashing electromagnetic force that enveloped the warship containing the four of them, and sped off into the sky beyond the island.
