One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Hearing the loud laughter coming from the distant sea, Zoro and the others all looked towards the Thousand Sunny.

So they came to cause trouble for the Straw Hat Pirates.

On the Lu ship, everyone frowned involuntarily, their faces showing anger and confusion, upon hearing the extremely unfriendly and grating laughter.

"Who are they? Why are they causing trouble for Mr. Yixiao? Are they pirates too? Are they our enemies?"

Nami asked, puzzled.

"Shall we fight, Luffy?" Sanji's spring-loaded boots emitted flames, propelling him into the air.

Luffy didn't speak, but looked at Ichisho instead.

Yi Xiao slowly shook his head, then suddenly drew his staff-sword and slashed it from a distance towards the direction the log ship was coming from.

Rings of purple light emanated from the staff-sword in his hand, quickly disappearing into the sky.

"This move..." Usopp and Chopper's eyes widened.

Sanji dropped the cigarette from his mouth and exclaimed, "Hey, hey, is it really that bad? Ichisho!"

"This is going to be super exciting."

Franky silently put on his sunglasses and took out his camera.

With a smile, he slowly sheathed his sword, turned his head to look at Luffy and the others behind him, and said, "The people who came are very dangerous. We don't need to engage in a battle with them. So, please allow me to be a little willful this time."

A few minutes later.

On the port of Queen's City in springtime, Sauron, Hawkins, Brook, Sera, and others stared blankly at the fiery red sky.

On the large log ship, Kelly Van Cleef's wanted poster was blown away by the wind, and he looked dazed.

Van Auk and Doc Q.

Teach's grin froze, his eyes reflecting the massive object crashing down from the sky toward his location.

"Meteorite??"

Chapter 615 Nearly Wiped Out

A few days later, over a small island called Tassan, hundreds of miles from Queen City in Spring.

Lafitte, with a pair of snow-white wings on its back, flapped its wings rapidly as it skimmed low over the vast ocean, holding a slowly burning life paper in its hand, its face filled with anxiety and its eyes with disbelief.

"Hey, hey, stop joking around, Teach! Didn't you say the gears of fate had started turning? Why is the whole machine falling apart so soon after it's only just begun to turn? What happened to your Dark-Dark Fruit ability being invincible?"

Even the composed Lafitte felt a surge of urge to curse.

About three days ago, he had just completed the task Teach had given him: to go to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, and recommend Teach to the Marines to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After completing the mission, Lafitte rushed back excitedly, and along the way he received the good news that Teach and the others had successfully located the target they were trying to capture.

To Lafitte's utter surprise, less than an hour after Teach and the others reported the good news with laughter, the life papers of Blackbeard, Van Augur, and Doc Q that he was carrying began to burn!

Although the burning speed is very slow, it is actually reducing the original area little by little.

This discovery instantly extinguished Lafitte's excitement and anticipation.

Instead, I was filled with confusion.

who am I?

where am I?

What the hell am I supposed to do?

A triple wave of confusion overwhelmed Lafitte, leaving his mind a jumbled mess. He couldn't think straight ahead and simply followed the guidance of the Life Paper, searching for the missing Teach.

The only saving grace was that, although the life papers of Teach and the others were burning slowly, they had not burned completely to the bottom.

This means that Teach and his team were only injured, not dead.

What exactly happened in that short hour a few days ago is something that Raffit will probably only know after finding Teach.

While flying aimlessly, Lafitte suddenly noticed a faint force moving towards the island below in the direction the Life Paper was moving, which instantly jolted his weary spirit.

"We've finally found them! Teach and the others... are on the island below!"

Lafitte took a deep breath, gripped the life paper tightly in his hand, flapped his wings, and fell towards the island below.

A few minutes later, near a thicket on the beach of Tassan Island.

Lafitte stared at the scene before him, utterly bewildered for a long time.

Beside the bushes undulating with the seawater, a large log with a diameter of more than two meters was caught by the bushes covered with thorns and spikes.

Several men, their bodies white from being soaked in seawater, their clothes tattered and covered in scorch marks, had parts of their bodies stuck in logs, like mushrooms or tree branches growing on wood.

Some of the parts of the logs that protruded from the ground were submerged by seawater, while others were embedded in the nearby bushes, their bodies covered in blood from the sharp thorns.

At first glance, it looks like some messy human body parts growing out of a log.

No matter how Lafitte viewed it, the scene was an extremely eerie and terrifying spectacle.

Moreover, if he hadn't known beforehand that Teach and the others still had their life cards and if he hadn't possessed Observation Haki, Lafitt would have definitely mistaken the men growing out of the wood for dead people.

Despite his confusion, Lafitte stepped forward and pulled the large log, which was caught on the thorns, from the beach.

Then he drew his thin sword from his waist and dug out the men stuck in the log one by one.

Among them is Doc Q, whose head is stuck in a log.

Van Augur's lower body was submerged inside the log, his upper body was whitened by seawater, and his entire face was so dry and peeling that Lafitte could hardly recognize him.

Kelly Vanku, half his body twisted and entangled with his brother Bobby Vanku, was completely pierced through the log, resembling a strange humanoid pin.

And Teach, whose entire right hand was stuck into the log, was also white and swollen from being soaked in seawater, and was no longer human-shaped.

Lafitte stared at the men lying in a row like corpses, frozen in place for a long time before deciding to wake up Doc Q first.

Doc Q is the doctor in the Blackbeard Pirates.

Although his personality is quite unreliable, his medical skills and the ability of the Disease-Disease Fruit are undeniable.

With that thought in mind, Lafitte approached Doc Q and raised the rapier in his hand.

"Pfft."

A flash of blood appeared, and Poison Q's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, his eyeballs wide open, and he let out a painful scream as blood gushed from his thigh like a fountain.

"Doc Q, you're awake? If you can still move, try to wake up Teach and the others first."

Lafitte expressionlessly sheathed his rapier behind his back and spoke to Doc Q, who was screaming in pain while clutching his bleeding thigh.

Doc Q trembled, coughed weakly a few more times, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, before looking shakily at Teach and the others lying beside him.

"Cough cough... No problem, I'll wake them up right away."

As he spoke, he shakily raised his right hand, which had turned white from being soaked in seawater, and released a wisp of pale green smoke toward Teach and the others.

The pale green smoke emitted a pungent odor, the nature of which was unknown.

Although it smells disgusting, it works surprisingly quickly.

One by one, those enveloped by the smoke released by Doc Q opened their eyes and struggled to sit up from the ground.

Poison Q, who had released the green gas, turned even paler and collapsed with a thud, slamming his face into the ground.

"Damn it... what's going on? Why have I turned into a woman?!"

Kelly Van Cleef let out an angry shout.

But to Lafitte's ears, his voice sounded delicate, weak, and pitiful.

Lafitte looked at the several women who were bare-chested and shamelessly exposing their voluptuous figures, but his expression remained calm and composed, as if he was already used to the scene before him.

Teach, now a woman, sat up, completely unconcerned about her exaggeratedly exposed breasts, and grinned, revealing her missing teeth, letting out a charming laugh.

"Hahaha, hahaha, fate is definitely on my side~. I've escaped death again~. Do you have any wine? Lafitte-chan, I really want some right now~."

"There are small towns on the island, so there must be plenty of consumables like wine and meat."

Lafitte adjusted his top hat, raised his rapier, and pointed it into the depths of the island.

Several tens of minutes later, in the town on Tassan Island.

Having regained his normal health, Teach is now eating voraciously with both hands.

He held a large piece of steak in his left hand, tearing and chewing it constantly, while in his right hand he held a bottle of fine wine, occasionally taking a big gulp and letting out a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha, it's alive! It's fully resurrected!"

After finishing the last sip of his drink, Teach flung the bottle away, knocking the body of a long-dead patron off the table and onto the tavern floor, which was covered in thick blood, with a dull thud.

The others were also eating voraciously to replenish their depleted bodies.

The bar owner and waiters standing behind the bar not far away were so frightened that their faces turned ashen and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

"Hey! You! Come here!"

Teach opened his left hand, black energy swirling in his palm, and a suction force burst forth from nowhere.

The wooden bar counter lying across him exploded with a crackling sound, splinters flying everywhere. The terrified waiter flew into Teach's hand and was grabbed by the shoulder.

Teach leaned closer to the freckled girl and grinned, "Tell me, can you make cherry pie?"

The waitress's eyes were filled with fear. She had never seen pirates like the Blackbeard Pirates who didn't care about human life. She was so frightened that her mind went blank and she couldn't say anything.

"I'll ask you one more time, little beauty, can you make... cherry pie?"

Teach's large hand pinched the waitress's delicate face, leaving several red marks on her cheek.

Tears immediately streamed from the girl's eyes, dripping down her face.

"My lord! I...I can make it! I can make cherry pie! Please, please spare my daughter! Please..."

"Oh!"

Red and white matter exploded on the wall behind the tavern owner's head, splattering everywhere.

A fist-sized hole appeared between the tavern owner's eyebrows. He stood frozen in place for a long time before collapsing to the ground.

Van Augur put the smoking sniper rifle back on the table with his left hand, while continuing to stuff the dry meat steak into his mouth with his right hand.

"Damn it, my cherry pie, Van Augur! Couldn't you have waited until he finished making my cherry pie before killing him?"
