One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Namuer!"

Jinbe gritted his teeth in anguish, still refusing to release Namur's corpse.

He wanted to take Namuel with him.

At the very least, we must get Namur's body back to Father's ship.

But can he escape?

"boom!"

A tremendous tremor came from behind him. The vibration of the seawater made Jinbe's muscles tense up, and he turned and moved sideways without hesitation.

The next moment, a muscular hand blasted through the seawater and reached out to grab where he had left.

The seawater exploded like a burst of white waves, the spray as sharp as blades, striking Jinbe and cutting bloody gashes into his body.

At the bottom of the ocean, 10,000 meters deep, Jinbe turned around and saw Rorschach, whose body was surrounded by intense electric light.

Like a demon god!

"You know you can't escape, Jinbe."

"Lieutenant General Lan Lin... I never imagined that someone could develop their abilities to such a terrifying degree. Has your Mythical Beast ability awakened?"

Jinbe finally released Namur, who was now as black as charcoal, and adopted a Fishman Karate stance with his equally charred body.

"Not yet." Luo Xia shook his head, then exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you going to run away?"

"There's no escaping it. No matter how fast I am, I can't outrun your lightning. Since that's the case, I might as well fight to the death!"

Jinbe clenched his fist, the water beneath his feet surged, lifting his body as he charged head-on towards Rorschach. His hand was wreathed in dark Haki, and with a punch he shattered the seawater, carrying the immense pressure of the ten-thousand-meter-deep ocean, he unleashed his strongest attack on Rorschach.

"Fishman Karate Secret Technique! Oniwa-no-Ken!"

Seeing Jinbe charging towards him like a cannonball, Rorschach's thick right arm transformed into a bolt of lightning, and he threw a punch.

"Ten Billion Volts! Lightning Fist!"

"Oh!"

Their fists collided head-on in the sea, causing the seawater to explode with a deafening roar.

"Click-clack-click-clack!"

Amid a series of explosions, Jinbe's face turned pale, his right arm snapped off inch by inch, exploding into a bloody mist, and a fist the size of a tabletop was pressed into his chest.

Then his world was plunged into darkness.

The sea was silent as the Kirin slowly descended from the sky back onto the sea.

"Is Rorschach alright?" Drake leaned over the gunwale, anxiously peering out at the sea, but could see nothing.

"Don't worry, Brother Luo Xia will be fine." Yun Que had complete confidence in Luo Xia.

As soon as she finished speaking, the sea next to the Qilin exploded, and a tall figure broke through the water and landed on the deck of the Qilin.

"Brother Luo Xia!" Yun Que exclaimed in surprise.

“Hmm,” Luo Xia’s voice rang out.

Then everyone on the Kirin saw a fish-man, his body torn and twisted, stained with blood, being casually tossed onto the deck by Luo Xia with a thud.

When everyone saw what the fish-man looked like, they were all stunned.

“Jinbe the Knight of the Sea…” Drake swallowed hard, his throat bobbing, and looked at Rorschach as if he were looking at a monster. “You…you beat Jinbe the Knight of the Sea like this in the sea?”

"Boom!"

With a muffled thud, Ace's head slammed into the bars of the iron cage, making the heavy cage shake.

His eyes widened in horror as he stared at Jinbe, who lay on the deck, lifeless and unsure of his fate, and cried out in anguish, "Jinbe!"

Rorschach shrank in size, and his snow-white military uniform quickly spread out over his body.

He looked at Luo and beckoned, "Luo, come over and take care of him. Just make sure he doesn't die. Remember to take his heart out."

Law nodded, took the first-aid kit and the Demon Cry, and walked towards Jinbe.

Ignoring the heartbroken Ace, Rorschach gripped the Heavenly Dragon Halberd and casually swung it towards Shiryu's warship.

"Shh!"

A massive slash, hundreds of meters long, flew through the air, cleaving the sea king, which had been dead for some time but was still atop the warship, into countless pieces of flesh.

The massive warship crashed heavily into the sea, sending up a spray of blood.

Rorschach looked at Lark and waved his hand.

"Hibari, have headquarters open the Gates of Justice and return at full speed."

"Yes, Brother Rorschach!"

Chapter 653 The Final Preparations

Marineford Inner Bay Port

Warships arrived from all directions, gathering here like fledglings returning to their nests.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hawkeye Mihawk, has arrived!"

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea, Empress Boa Hancock, has arrived!"

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gecko Moria, has arrived!"

On the high embankment, guards responsible for welcoming the Seven Warlords of the Sea stood on both sides, and a master of ceremonies loudly announced their greetings.

Because of the hot weather, and considering the Pirate Empress's love of beauty, the Navy even specially arranged for female soldiers to stand by with huge parasols to shield Hancock from the heat.

That's quite a show of respect.

Hawkeye, carrying a black sword, Hancock, with a cool and arrogant demeanor, and Moria, wearing a black cloak, stepped off the warships that were heading to pick them up.

This wasn't the first time any of the three from Naval Headquarters had come here.

Several months ago, they were invited here to hold a meeting about new members joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Who could have imagined that just a few months later, they would gather here again to participate in an upcoming earth-shattering battle?

Looking at the neatly arranged and imposing naval formations in the square, Mihawk's expression remained unchanged. He simply used his sharp golden eyes to scan the naval warriors carrying swords in the square.

Hancock wasn't too concerned about the grand scene before her.

In the entire navy, apart from a few formidable figures, there was hardly anyone who could catch her eye.

Even those who catch her eye are chosen solely because of their personal abilities, not for any other reason.

Now, Hancock only has one man in her heart.

"Luffy, are you really coming here to save your brother? Although I look down on everyone here, I have to admit that the upcoming war will be extremely dangerous. If you really are coming in a few days, please be safe. No matter what, I will protect you and will absolutely not let anyone hurt you!"

Hancock made a silent decision in her heart. Her watery eyes swept across the huge fortress in front of her. With a flicker of her gaze, she captivated the surrounding marines, both men and women, making them lose their composure and look intoxicated.

"Is Fire Fist Ace still in Impel Down, or has he already been brought here?"

Moria didn't lose his composure as a Shichibukai. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and swaggered through the Marine formation with his fat, bloated body, while occasionally sweeping his cruel and cunning eyes over the surrounding crowd and letting out a strange laugh.

"Hehehehe, so many powerful people. I really want to cut off their shadows. I wonder how big my zombie army would grow then. Hehehehe."

Today, he deliberately removed the bandages from his head and draped a stylish black cloak over his back, giving him a rather imposing air of a great pirate.

The three of them filed towards the fortress.

Three days before their execution, the Navy arranged for them to stay in Marineford.

Just then, a marine's shout suddenly came from behind.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Golden Emperor Gild Tesoro, has arrived!"

The loud voice attracted the attention of many marines who were training, and they all looked towards the inner bay harbor.

Even Hawkeye, Hancock, and Moria, who were walking along, couldn't help but stop and turn around to look back.

They knew that Tesoro had joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea a few months ago.

However, none of them had ever actually met in person.

All three were quite interested in this man who claimed to own 20% of the world's richest man, as well as the Paramecia-type Gold-Gold Fruit user that the Navy claimed to be awakened.

On the wide expanse of the inner bay, a three-masted sailing ship, the size of a warship, sailed from afar under everyone's watchful eyes and quickly approached the harbor to a stop.

To everyone's astonishment, the large three-masted sailing ship that sailed in was entirely golden, shining brightly in the sunlight and reflecting a dazzling golden light.

This was a magnificent three-masted sailing ship made entirely of gold.

Golden hulls, golden deck, golden mast, golden anchor.

Even the sails were made of huge pieces of gold foil connected together and spread out.

The entire ship looked incredibly luxurious and dazzling; it was impossible to tell how many tons of gold it had been made of.

At the bow of the golden ship, the tall and imposing Tesoro, dressed in a gold-threaded suit, with his green hair slicked back and his hands behind his back, exuded an aura of authority, looking like a noble lord coming to the Navy Headquarters to collect rent.

Moriah's eyes were full of golden light, and his mouth was stretched so wide it was almost impossible to close.

"Hehehe, a hundred-meter-long ship made entirely of gold, how many pesos is that worth? No wonder he's the world's richest man, hehehe."

Hearing Moria's eerie laughter, Tesoro, who was slowly walking down from the golden ship, glanced in their direction.

He completely ignored Moria's smirking.

Hancock was swept past him in a glance, without lingering for even half a second.

Only Hawkeye received a few more glances from Tesoro, who nodded at him.

"Hawkeye, you're welcome to come and visit my Tesoro sometime."

Hawkeye nodded slightly. "Okay."

Hancock frowned slightly, looking coldly at the tall Tesoro, feeling somewhat displeased.

The way Tesoro looked at him just now was as if he were looking at a lump of rotten flesh, devoid of any emotion.

This made Hancock very uncomfortable.

However, unlike in the Kingdom of Women, she did not act on her own whims and cause trouble for Tesoro because of her discomfort.
