One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

One by one, the prisoners began to scream and wail like ghosts.

"Ace, stop doing useless things. You know you can't escape."

Luo Xia nodded to Ivankov, then slowly walked out of the cell and closed the door behind him.

Then...

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle...!"

A chaotic burst of lightning suddenly expanded wildly from his tall body, sweeping outwards in all directions in an instant, engulfing all the cells in the entire Infinite Hell.

"Ahhhh!"

One scream after another rang out from the cell where the strange cries had originated.

One by one, the restless prisoners screamed in agony as they collapsed to the ground, their bodies steaming from the electric shocks and their limbs twitching.

Just as Ace reached the entrance to the elevator shaft, he groaned and fell to the ground.

He gasped for breath and tried to get up, but his whole body was numb and he lost control of his limbs.

The sound of crisp footsteps came from behind.

"Ace, I've said it before, there's no going back in this world. Once many things are done, there's no going back."

Hearing Rorschach's voice, Ace, who was lying on the ground, suddenly burst into tears.

"Dad... Dad! Don't come! Please! Don't let my recklessness and foolishness put everyone in danger!"

Chapter 651 A Surprise Attack from the Deep Sea

At the port of Impel Down, Ace and Teach, their hands and feet shackled with seastone chains, were grabbed by Palmer and carried aboard the Kirin. They were placed in two large iron cages that had been prepared beforehand and placed under strict guard.

Unlike Ace, who was filled with regret and pain, Blackbeard remained like a walking corpse throughout, letting Magellan lead him forward on chains.

He seemed to have completely shut himself off, and hadn't uttered a single word since emerging from the Infinite Hell.

Rorschach waved his hand, ordering the warships to begin their return voyage. He then went back to the Kirin and retrieved something, which he handed to Magellan.

"This is?"

Magellan looked at the tiny piece of gold, no bigger than a soybean, that Rorschach had handed him, puzzled, and didn't understand what Rorschach meant.

Luo Xia made a slight gesture, and an air layer enveloping the restless lightning formed around the two of them before he uttered two words: "Pure Gold".

"Huh? What did you say?" Magellan was moved, and his hand holding the pure gold trembled, almost causing it to fall into the sea.

The legend of pure gold has long been known throughout the world.

In any world, there is no shortage of people who pursue immortality and eternal life.

Treasures like pure gold and the Op-Op Fruit, which can grant immortality, are absolutely coveted by everyone.

In some ways, pure gold is more convenient and easier to achieve than the immortality surgery of the Op-Op Fruit.

Simply wearing pure gold can infinitely slow down the aging process of cells, allowing one to maintain eternal youth.

No one can resist such temptation, and Magellan was no exception.

But he was clearly not completely blinded by the temptation before him.

Although Magellan knew Rorschach wouldn't lie to him, he was still very suspicious.

"Why are you giving me this legendary thing?"

Luo Xia smiled and pointed at his body, saying, "This is what I thought of that can counteract the side effects of the Poison Fruit on your body."

"Huh?" Magellan was astonished, glancing cautiously left and right before clutching the pure gold in his hand, as if trying to hide it, and said, "Just for this, you're giving me something that could shake the world? Rorschach, you... I..."

Magellan's feelings were so complex that he didn't know how to express them.

"Hmm. Uncle Magellan, when you're in a good state, keep this close to your body and keep it safe. Its effects will then manifest, stabilizing your current state indefinitely. Although in this state, no matter how much you exercise, it won't have any effect because the changes in your cells are fixed, you can still cultivate your domineering aura."

Rorschach's words gave Magellan a jolt.

"Cultivating domineering aura?"

"Correct."

Rorschach nodded: "You can use this effect to enhance your Armament Haki training and break through to the level of advanced Armament Haki as soon as possible. I think that when you have advanced Armament Haki, you should be able to counteract the side effects of the Venom-Venom Fruit. Then, you can remove this thing and use the enhanced Armament Haki to temper your body and improve your strength again."

At this point, Rorschach's face lit up with an expectant smile.

"I really want to see what kind of powerful deterrent Magellan would have over the criminals of this world if he had no Devil Fruit side effects, mastered advanced Armament Haki, and could freely enter and leave Impel Down. Uncle Magellan, I hope to see you in the New World someday. I look forward to that day. Goodbye!"

After saying that, Luo Xia had already flashed across hundreds of meters of sea and jumped onto the deck of the Qilin.

At the port of Impel Down, Magellan clutched the pure gold bean Rorschach had given him tightly in his hand, his emotions unable to settle for a long time.

"High-level Armament Haki, without Devil Fruit side effects, allowing free entry and exit from Impel Down?"

Magellan's eyes suddenly welled up with tears as he recalled the decades he had spent in Impel Down.

If given the choice, no one would want to spend eight hours a day squatting in a stinky toilet.

Although Hannibal, that foul-mouthed guy, always deliberately calls himself a diarrhea bastard to distract himself, he actually respects himself quite a bit.

The other guards and jailers in the city also held themselves in high esteem.

But Magellan was already tired of it and loathed the feeling of squatting in the toilet all day.

That made his heart incredibly closed off and dark.

This also seriously affected his work and promotion.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for Impel Down, a dark and gloomy place where he could unleash his full power, Magellan would probably have been ridiculed wherever he went.

Shiryu was right. In fact, the person who killed the most prisoners in Impel Down was not Shiryu, but Magellan.

Magellan, whose mind was warped by the side effects of the fruit, feared not only his prisoners but also his own people when he became angry.

And now, Rorschach has handed over an opportunity for him to be reborn to Magellan.

Magellan recalled the sentiments Zephyr had expressed to him many years ago.

"Magellan, if it weren't for the Venom-Venom Fruit ruining you, you would have had a chance to become a Marine Admiral."

"general……"

Magellan stood at the port, motionless for a long time, watching the Kirin gradually disappear into the Gate of Justice, a slow smile spreading across his lips.

"Hey! Magellan! What did Lieutenant General Rorschach give you? That's really unfair, it must be something good, right? Look at the stalker look on your face, your mouth is practically grinning from ear to ear."

A strange, vinegar-smelling voice jolted Magellan from his reverie.

His smile froze, he gritted his teeth, and fiercely reached out to grab the terrified Hannibal.

"Who are you calling a pervert? Don't you even call me 'Chief' anymore? What happened to the manners I taught you, Hannibal!"

"Waaaaah! Domino! Little Sadie! Help me! Magellan is eating people!"

.

.

On the Kirin, Luo Xia suddenly felt uneasy, as if he had overlooked something important.

Rorschach frowned slightly as he watched the massive Gate of Justice behind him gradually close.

What exactly have I forgotten?

The lark next to him noticed Luo Xia's furrowed brows and was about to ask him what was on his mind.

But at that moment, Enel, who had been standing at the top of the Kirin's mainmast, suddenly shot a bolt of lightning down into the sea.

A large bolt of lightning struck the calm sea, producing a tremendous roar and sending up waves more than ten meters high, alarming the four escorting warships nearby.

Shiryu, Momonga, Onigumo, and Doberman stood at the bow of their respective warships, looking towards the Kirin, unaware of what had happened.

"Attention all! A large number of fish-men and sea kings have appeared in the ocean!"

Enel, who had been maintaining an extremely wide range of Observation Haki perception, detected the anomaly faster than Rorschach.

His voice echoed with the roar of lightning, reaching the ears of the surrounding navy.

"A large number of fish-men and sea monsters have appeared on the seabed?"

Onigumo, Doberman, and the others' expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly waved their hands and shouted, "Turn the cannons around and aim at the sea! Fishmen are trying to kidnap Fire Fist Ace!"

This is a calm sea area.

It's not surprising that there are sea kings.

However, the appearance of a large number of murlocs is a different story.

Before the gun barrels on the surrounding warships could be adjusted, a huge tremor was felt on the bottom of all the warships, including the Kirin, where Luo Xia was.

Meanwhile, on the vast sea surface around them, waves rose and fell, and strangely shaped giant sea kings could be vaguely seen.

On the outermost right side of the Kirin, the warship where Shiryu was located suddenly detached from the sea surface and was lifted high into the air by a huge creature pushing against the bottom of the ship.

Amidst gasps of alarm, the sailors on deck were thrown about, landing in disarray.

An unfortunate marine screamed as he fell from the warship, plunging hundreds of meters into the sea.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! All troops on alert! Turn the guns around and fire immediately!"

Ghost Spider and the others were both shocked and furious, and loudly commanded the soldiers to open fire.

Startled by the sudden attack, Luo Xia's unease vanished.

He decided to ignore it and unleashed his Observation Haki, which was even stronger than Enel's, as he plunged into the sea to investigate the surrounding area.

At the same time, a large hand reached out and grabbed at the warship where Shiryu was located.

The still air currents whistled and twisted, turning into chains of air that grabbed all the marines falling into the sea and pulled them all back to the warship.

Before the rescued marines could express their gratitude to Rorschach, his figure soared into the sky from the Kirin and arrived above the now completely boiling sea.

Luo Xia floated hundreds of meters above the sea, looking down from above.

On the chaotic sea, hundreds of sea kings of all sizes surrounded their five warships.

Deeper in the ocean, hundreds of strong fish-men, wielding various melee weapons, swam nimbly and rapidly approached.

Some had already swum to the bottom of the warship, wielding swords and hammers, striking the iron plating covering the hull, attempting to destroy the warship from the bottom and sink it.
