One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

As Kidd turned his head, a jet-black spike pierced right in front of him.

The speed and the suddenness of its appearance caught Kidd off guard, leaving him no time to react.

With a muffled thud, Kidd's chin was pierced by the huge stone spike coming from the front, and he was sent flying backward, with bright red blood spurting from his mouth and nose.

"Which bastard dares to ambush me?"

While suspended in mid-air, Kidd gritted his teeth and looked ahead, only to see rock spikes, each more than ten meters long, rising and falling from the ground, chasing after Drake, Killer, and the others, causing them to frantically defend themselves.

Urgi, who was the most clumsy of the group, had been stabbed several times by the sharp rock spikes and screamed in pain.

"Watch out! It's one of the Golden Emperor's men, that armored bastard!" Kira shouted at Kidd as he spun his scythe, slicing through a stone spike aimed at him.

"What kind of ability is this? Is it a Logia type? Why can't I see anyone?" Urouge even dropped the stick in his hand. His heavy body had just dodged a stone spike that was thrusting between his legs when he was stabbed in the back by another one, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Drake grabbed the bearded pirate and leaped away, looking quite disheveled.

He has already mastered the two-color Haki, and can anticipate the constantly thrusting rocks.

As he ran, he shouted a warning: "This guy is Pica, a Paramecia-type Stone-Stone Fruit user. He used to be an admiral under Doflamingo. His ability is to manipulate a large number of rocks to form giant stone statues to attack others. Be careful, even in the New World, this guy is a rather troublesome person."

"Damn it! I don't care what kind of stone golem he is, he dared to ambush me, I'll kill him!"

Kidd, already annoyed by the power he had displayed with a smile that had made him feel intimidated, was now consumed by rage.

Ignoring Kira and Drake's explanations, he grabbed at the air with his right hand, and all the broken metal debris on the ground, as well as the scattered gold fragments not far away, were drawn together by the magnetic force emanating from his hand and continuously gathered on his right arm.

In the blink of an eye, a giant metal arm, more than ten meters long and made of various broken metals, enveloped Kidd's right hand.

He threw a punch at the rock spike that was thrusting towards his face.

"boom!"

The heavy metal arm crashed down, shattering the incoming rock spikes into countless fragments that flew away.

Taking advantage of the situation, Kidd leaped forward, and propelled by the massive metal arm in his hand, he was lifted off the ground and charged toward the writhing ground in the distance.

Although Kid has not yet awakened Observation Haki.

But his keen intuition told him that Pica, who manipulated the rocks, was hiding in that place.

"You coward hiding here, come out here!"

Kidd swept through the air, raised his massive arm high, and slammed it down to the ground.

On the ground, a huge face, more than ten meters in diameter, protruded.

Pica's blank face appeared before Kidd.

Pica remained expressionless in the face of the imposing Kidd.

He didn't retreat; instead, the enormous rock face continued to rise higher and higher from the ground.

With a deafening roar, Kidd's heavy metal fist smashed half of the rock face, creating a large crater on the top of the towering rock giant's head.

However, the rock colossus continued to rise without hesitation.

Kidd furiously hammered around, trying to smash the entire head of the rock giant.

A dozen seconds later, a giant rock statue hundreds of meters tall emerged from the ground of the golden ship, and stretched out a huge rock hand that blotted out the sky towards Kidd, who was still swinging his sword above it.

"Kidd! Watch out!"

Kira's hysterical, loud reminder.

"What's there to be careful about? These are just rocks, how can they compare to the metal I control? I'll smash as many as they come!"

Unfazed, Kidd leaped high from the pit above the statue's head and punched the giant rock hand that was reaching out to grab him.

Just then, Pica himself emerged from the crater at the head of the rock colossus, his face blank.

He held a four- or five-meter-long broadsword in his hand and slashed at Kidd as he flew into the air.

From a distance of more than ten meters, a patch of black light spread from the large black sword, slashing out a blade of light more than ten meters long towards Kidd's back.

"It's Armament Haki! Kid!" Killer was alarmed when he saw this and wanted to go and help, but the two sides were too far apart and he was powerless to do so. It was too late to get there.

Just as Kidd was about to be attacked from both sides, the rocky hand controlled by Pica and the real Kidd himself appeared and attacked him from both sides.

Suddenly, a lithe figure wielding an axe and a sword leaped into the air a hundred meters high, wielding his weapons and, amidst a series of clanging explosions, managed to catch the massive blade of light unleashed by Pica.

Although he was ultimately knocked away by Pica's flying slash, the figure that was thrown far away was unharmed.

Kidd and Kira were both taken aback.

"Drake?"

"Kidd, you remember you owe me a life." Drake smirked and slammed heavily to the ground.

"Hmph! I can handle this without your help!"

Kidd sneered, smashed the rocky hand that was grabbing at him with his fist, and then fell to the ground.

"Stubbornness won't help. No matter what we think, right now we have to put everything aside and work together. Otherwise, we might not even be able to escape this ship!"

"Drake said in a deep voice."

“Drake is right. Only by cooperating can we leave safely. Let’s think positively. Although it looks like our ship is destroyed and we’re thousands of meters in the air, the Marines who came because the Celestial Dragons were defeated can only watch us helplessly from the sea below.”

Ap expressed his agreement.

Is there absolutely no way?

For some reason, Drake suddenly felt uneasy.

His mind flashed back to his last escape from Sabaody Archipelago.

Is the navy really helpless against them flying in the sky?

Not necessarily.

You should know that even the legendary pirate Shiki, who claimed to rule the seas from the sky, was caught up to a sky island and had his head chopped off.

If that guy comes over...

"No, impossible, how could he possibly come? The Celestial Dragons were attacked, and only a Marine Admiral was dispatched. He's just a mere Vice Admiral..."

Drake silently comforted himself as he joined forces with Kidd, Apoo, and others to fight against Pica.

Meanwhile, the enraged Tesoro is attacking Luffy and his crew with a frenzy.

The current Tesoro is far beyond the reach of Luffy and his crew.

Even though Luffy had awakened Armament Haki ahead of time under Issho's tutelage, compared to Tesoro, he was still as weak as an ant.

Fortunately, their team now has an additional member, Bartolomeo.

The moment Yixiao was knocked away by Tesoro, he enveloped everyone in his barrier.

Amidst continuous roars, the spherical barrier enveloping the entire Straw Hat Pirates was blasted deep into the ground by Tesoro's golden fist.

The golden god, hundreds of meters tall, shone with brilliant beams of light from its eyes, and in a flash, shot out two rays of intertwined flames and lightning towards the spherical barrier embedded in the ground.

"Golden Divine Fire!"

"boom!"

Amidst the deafening roar, the spherical barrier was like a baseball being swung around, blasted away by two thick beams of fire.

The people inside were like clothes being churned in a washing machine, constantly being tossed and turned, colliding with each other and becoming dizzy and disoriented.

Inside the barrier, the ogre Bato was drenched in sweat, gritting his teeth and persevering.

"Barto! Can you hold on?"

Sanji grabbed Chopper and Nami, one in each arm, and looked at Barto, whose face was growing paler.

"Don't worry, Sanji-senpai! I'm fine. No matter what attack comes my way, it won't break through my invincible barrier. Even if he attacks all day long, I can hold out against him!"

Barto crossed his arms and stared intently at the golden god outside the barrier.

Inside the enormous golden god, Tesoro, unable to break through after a long siege, grew increasingly frustrated.

He raised his enormous golden arm, tens of meters long, and caught the flying spherical barrier in mid-air. He then raised his arm and aimed it at the seawater distillation pipes on the golden ship.

"An invincible barrier? Go back to being invincible in the sea!"

Inside the barrier, Sanji and the others, who were listening to Tesoro's enormous voice, all changed their expressions.

Even if the Barrier-Barrier Fruit's power is incredibly strong, it's still a Devil Fruit power.

Any Devil Fruit ability can be countered by Seastone and seawater.

Once the barrier enveloping them is thrown into the sea by Tesoro, they will definitely be captured alive by Tesoro.

At this moment, the terrifying killing intent emanating from Tesoro could be clearly sensed even without using Observation Haki.

Whether you can save your life if he catches you depends on Tesoro's mood.

"Why? Why am I still so weak? Facing a powerful enemy, I can't do anything!"

Luffy clenched his fists in pain.

Franky, Robin, and the others also looked bitter.

"Now is not the time for self-pity! We must believe in Issho, he will definitely save us!" Sanji shouted, trying to cheer everyone up.

As soon as Sanji finished speaking, the ground of the golden ship beneath the Golden God's feet exploded with a deafening roar, blasted open by a distorted force field.

After disappearing for a few minutes, Yi Xiao soared into the sky from below, wielding his staff-sword with a single slash. The gleaming blade instantly swept past the golden god's raised giant arm.

"Crack!"

With a crisp cracking sound, the giant golden arm, tens of meters long, broke in the middle.

The spherical barrier, which had been grasped by the giant hand, detached from the golden hand and fell towards the ground.

With a smile and a wave from afar, an invisible force of gravity pulls the falling spherical barrier, sending it far away.

"You blind bastard! What did you do to my Grantezoro?"

The golden god roared and slammed his intact left arm down at Yixiao, who was in mid-air.

"It's just temporarily keeping it away from the sea."

"Gravity Blade! Fierce Tiger!"

With a smile, he swung his sword horizontally, and a horizontal force twisted and sent the incoming golden giant arm flying backward.
