One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

As Rorschach had expected, the person directing the actions of these fish-men and sea kings was none other than Jinbe, the knight-errant who had refused the Navy's call-up to the Seven Warlords of the Sea and disappeared after leaving Fish-Man Island.

Moreover, in the deep sea at this time, there are not only Jinbe, but also another fishman with a powerful aura, who has met Rorschach once before.

Namur, a fish-man slightly smaller than Jinbe, is the captain of the 8th division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Did you think you could kidnap Ace by launching a sneak attack from underwater?"

Looking down at the chaotic sea, Luo Xia's eyes grew cold, and his figure slowly enlarged.

"Is this your choice, Jinbe the Knight of the Sea? To help the Whitebeard Pirates fight against our Navy."

His calm voice, as if possessing some kind of magic, easily penetrated the depths of the ocean, reaching Jinbe's ears deep within.

Deep in the sea, Jinbe's expression was extremely solemn as he looked through the waves at the terrifying figure that had appeared in the sky above the sea.

"Lieutenant General Lan Lin..."

He was well aware of how foolish and presumptuous it was to try to rescue Ace through the deep sea in front of several users with lightning abilities.

But Jinbe still came without hesitation.

For him, as long as there was a sliver of hope to rescue Ace before his public execution, Jinbe would be willing to die.

Chapter 652 Jinbe Captured Alive, Blood Stains the Calm Belt

The Whitebeard Pirates are known as the strongest pirate crew in the world.

Jinbe never doubted the power of his father, Whitebeard.

However, sending the entire Whitebeard Pirates to the Marine Headquarters, the stronghold of the forces of justice, would still be an extremely dangerous undertaking.

If things go wrong, the mighty Whitebeard Pirates could be completely wiped out!

Jinbe didn't want to see that happen, nor did he want to see Ace publicly executed by the Navy in front of the whole world.

That's why we have this current plan.

He and Namur, along with some fish-man pirates recruited from the New World, as well as Sea Kings subdued by force or bribed with food, arrived at the seabed of the Calm Belt ahead of time. They ambushed the Marines escorting Ace between the two Gates of Justice at Marine Headquarters and Impel Down.

For this plan, Jinbe and Namur were both prepared to risk everything.

Any sacrifice is worthwhile as long as Ace can be rescued.

But at this moment, facing Vice Admiral Bluescale, who exuded a terrifying aura like an abyss above the sea, Jinbe felt an immense heaviness in his heart.

Can he really rescue Ace from this man who is comparable to a Marine Admiral?

"Jinbe! Do it now! What are you waiting for!"

Namur, who had already reached the bottom of the Kirin, unleashed a long-prepared Fishman Karate, Five Thousand Tile Punch, at the bottom of the Kirin while shouting back at Jinbe.

"coming!"

Jinbe gritted his teeth, ignoring everything else. His fat body simply pushed forward in the sea, breaking through the heavy pressure of the deep water. Like a swordfish, he darted thousands of meters away and arrived behind Namur. He clenched his fist and was about to unleash a punch even stronger than Namur's at the bottom of the ship above him.

However, the next second, the bottom of the Kirin ship above their heads suddenly detached from the sea surface and flew rapidly into the sky right before their eyes.

Jinbe and Namuri had anticipated this.

It's a fact known to pirates all over the world that Vice Admiral Lanlin's warships can fly.

The two remained calm. They simultaneously extended their large, webbed hands, grabbed the flowing seawater, and flung it violently towards the Kirin, which was soaring into the sky.

"Fishman Jujutsu! Water Heart! Gun Wave!"

The seawater churned, and two thick jets of water shot out from Jinbe and Namuri's hands, like spears being thrown, whistling as they shot toward the bottom of the Kirin ship in the sky.

But before it could hit, it was intercepted and shattered by two bolts of lightning, exploding into a shower of water droplets.

At the same time, Jinbe made a strange sound and began to command the surrounding Sea Kings to attack the five warships.

The primary target of the attack was the Kirin, which was flying into the sky!

Because on that warship, Jinbe and Namur had already sensed Ace's presence.

Meanwhile, on the Kirin, Ace, who was locked in an iron cage, also sensed the presence of Jinbe and Namur not far away.

However, Ace showed no joy on his face.

Instead, it was filled with panic and fear.

He gripped the iron cage in front of him tightly, screaming hoarsely, "Jinbe! Namur! Don't save me! Get out of here!"

"Ace! Wait! We're coming to get you out right away!" As if they had heard Ace's shout, Jinbe and Namur on the sea below felt their eyes well up with tears and became even more excited. They began to shoot jets of water and gunfire into the sky.

Ace's gaze, through the swaying deck, fell upon Rorschach, who was slowly raising his large hand above his head.

"No! Rorschach! No! I beg you! No!"

He screamed hysterically, "Jinbe! Namuri! Run! You can't save me! Run!"

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar, as if the heavens were enraged, resounded over the windless seas.

The enormous roar startled the sea kings that were stirring up the ocean, and dozens of them immediately turned and fled despite the fish-men's attempts to stop them.

Some of them had already fled because they were terrified by the terrifying aura emanating from Rorschach.

The remaining sea kings around the area saw the warship as food and tried to devour it.

Rorschach, now in his blue-scaled form, raised one hand above his head, and a torrent of lightning crackled and sizzled from his outstretched hand.

In the blink of an eye, a huge ball of lightning, a hundred meters in diameter, appeared in Luo Xia's hand.

The terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from it even startled Enel, the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Although the total amount of lightning power accumulated in Rorschach's body is not as great as Enel's, the upper limit of lightning intensity is far greater than that of Enel. Rorschach's powerful Armament Haki makes the lightning he releases more than ten times stronger than that of Enel!

Just like now, Luo Xia, who is holding the Heavenly Dragon Halberd in his left hand, is holding a ball of lightning that has been amplified several times by the thick, deep blue domineering aura, with a current intensity reaching a terrifying 1.2 billion volts of world-destroying divine lightning.

"do not want!"

Under Ace's despairing gaze, Rorschach pressed down with his large hand, slamming the lightning ball he was holding into the calm sea below.

"They've already come to our doorstep; it wouldn't be right to show them any mercy."

"1.2 Billion Volts! Divine Punishment!"

A blue-white ball of lightning, like a large, shimmering orb of light, fell from the sky, its dazzling brilliance illuminating the faces of Jinbe and Namuri on the sea surface.

Sensing the terrifying fluctuations emanating from the lightning ball, Jinbe's pupils contracted sharply. Without a word, he reached out and grabbed Namur's arm, who was about to fire another wave of gunfire, and dragged him rapidly downwards into the deep sea.

"go!"

However, how fast is lightning?

The naval soldiers on the five warships were suddenly struck by a flash of white light on the calm sea.

Then, in the next instant, millions of thick bolts of lightning exploded from the lightning ball that had fallen into the sea, spreading instantly across a calm sea area spanning tens of kilometers.

"Boom!"

Thunder roared, seawater exploded repeatedly, and countless lightning bolts, like hundreds of silver roots, pierced into the deep sea.

Wherever it passed, sea monsters of all sizes were pierced by its silvery roots, letting out painful screams, dying belly up, and floating one after another on the vast sea.

Those fish-man pirates that Jinbe summoned from the New World were instantly electrocuted and died a violent death in an instant.

The calm sea, which had been chaotic just moments before, quickly subsided after Rorschach threw out a lightning ball.

The cannons on the four warships had not yet been adjusted, and the shells were being loaded.

Before the sailors on the warship could relax their tense nerves, a huge disaster that would have destroyed all the warships was averted.

Shiryu had just transformed into flowing blood and left the warship, intending to drain the giant sea king that was supporting the warship, when he saw a flash of lightning and the mountain-sized sea king in front of him emitted a large amount of black smoke, its massive body coming to a standstill after a series of convulsions.

A pair of enormous eyes, comparable in size to half a warship, were electrocuted into cloudy vitreous bodies, beyond dead.

He froze, turned to look in Rorschach's direction, and saw Rorschach, a power user, his towering body shooting down from the sky like a meteor, crashing into the sea below with a thunderous roar, and rapidly heading towards the depths of the ocean.

A Devil Fruit user actually chased after Jinbe, the knight-errant known as the strongest being in the sea, and Namur, the fishman who was the 8th division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and plunged into the deep sea at a depth of 10,000 meters!

At that moment, Shiryu suddenly lost the will to compete with Rorschach.

This is not just a matter of whether it is strong or not.

That kid's level of madness was even greater than his.

On the Kirin, which was floating in mid-air, Ace was still screaming hysterically.

Teach, in the cage beside him, opened his swollen eyes and a mocking smile spread across his lips.

"Zehahaha...cough cough, Ace, now you understand how I felt back then, right? Despair, eh? Zehahahaha, but it's not the most desperate time yet. I have a feeling that that madman will even kill Dad! Zehahahaha! What an interesting fate!"

Amidst Teach's maniacal laughter, in the pitch-black depths of the ocean.

The seawater roared and burst open, the white waves were pushed aside by an unstoppable, powerful force, forming a straight white column of water that pierced through the deep sea.

A thousand meters below, Jinbe, whose body had been pierced by stray lightning, was gripping Namuri, who was charred black and whose life was unknown, and was gritting his teeth as he sped toward the even deeper, darker seabed.

Jinbe dared not turn around, afraid that if he did, he would see Rorschach's cold face.

The chilling killing intent, like a thorn in his back, firmly locked onto his body, making Jinbe feel a chill in his heart.

He never imagined that he would one day be hunted down at sea.

What's even more outrageous is that the person chasing him was an ability user.

Rorschach's body was covered by a thick armor of Armament Haki and an air armor compressed to the extreme, which was like a physical barrier.

The air armor formed a rapidly spinning drill in front of him, carrying Rorschach as an underwater torpedo, hurtling towards Jinbe at top speed.

For Rorschach, who possesses immense power and the ability to manipulate the air, the seawater poses little threat.

Moreover, seawater is a stronger conductor of electricity than air.

Locked in by Rorschach's overwhelming Observation Haki, thick bolts of lightning shot out from his body, winding through the seawater and illuminating the ten-thousand-meter-deep ocean, continuously striking Jinbe.

Jinbe's speed in the sea was indeed incredibly fast, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun the lightning bolts unleashed by Rorschach.

His Armament Haki had also reached a high level, and it was quite profound.

However, under Rorschach's relentless bombardment, the Armament Haki armor on his body had already been almost completely destroyed.

The man holding Namur in his hand had already been electrocuted into a charred, human-shaped mass.
