One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

However, even if I don't attack Garp, judging from his weakened state, he probably won't live much longer.

The battle between Garp and Rayleigh ended in a draw, with both sides suffering heavy losses.

Seemingly sensing Hancock's thoughts, Granny New continued, "Boa Hancock, we must not only refrain from harming Garp, but also do our utmost to save him. Otherwise, if the subsequent Marine Admirals arrive and find Garp dead here, we'll likely get into unnecessary trouble."

"What? You want to treat him? Are you kidding me! Is Rayleigh dead?" Hancock's expression changed, and she almost kicked Granny New away.

"At the very least, he absolutely cannot die here, otherwise we will have no way to defend ourselves. The Navy's current morale is at its peak because of defeating Whitebeard, and they absolutely will not allow anyone to challenge their authority at this critical juncture. Think about that proud man, Snake Princess, you don't want to face him again."

Grandma New's intention was to offer kind advice, but to everyone's surprise, all she said was "that man," and Hancock's expression, which had just eased slightly, instantly turned incredibly ugly.

"If he dares to come, I will make sure he dies a horrible death! How dare he treat me like that in Marineford? It's unforgivable!" She gritted her teeth, turned around hatefully, and without waiting for Granny New and Mary Grood to stop her, she pulled her hands together, and a pink heart-shaped balloon appeared in her hands. From the balloon, she shot out a dense rain of pink arrows, which shot towards the group of marines holding weapons.

Every marine hit by these pink arrows was petrified without any resistance. Their petrified faces showed no fear, but rather a look of ecstasy and infatuation.

"Snake Princess!" Granny Niu exclaimed in shock.

She tried to persuade Hancock to break free of the petrification, but Hancock had already walked away with a cold face, sat on the coiled pink python, and ignored her pleas.

Bogart saw that all the marines had been petrified by Hancock's ability, but he didn't say anything. He just squatted down in front of Garp with a sullen face, anxiously waiting for the Marine Headquarters to arrive.

We hope that headquarters can send someone over as soon as possible, preferably with a doctor.

However, Marineford is more than a thousand kilometers away from here.

Even for Kizaru, who is the fastest, it would take a lot of time to get here, not to mention that he would need to bring a doctor with him.

Can Garp, who is critically ill due to excessive blood loss, really hold on until then?

Chapter 695 Monsters Descend

Marineford Conference Hall.

Sengoku's hand trembled as he listened to Bogart's voice through the Den Den Mushi.

"What did you say? Garp killed Rayleigh, and then he himself was seriously injured and unconscious?"

The voice of the Warring States period was filled with disbelief, as if he were hallucinating.

"Yes, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, please send someone to meet us as soon as possible. I think the Pirate Empress is very angry about Rayleigh's death and may attack Vice Admiral Garp. I don't know if we can stop her. Also, be sure to bring a doctor. Vice Admiral Garp... has lost too much blood and is seriously injured. Moreover, he has already decided to die. I'm afraid he won't last much longer."

"What's going on? Who gave him the right to go out to sea to chase Rayleigh? Bogart, what are you thinking? Why didn't you tell me he was leaving sooner?"

The Warring States period lost his composure and cried out.

The news from Bogart was like a bombshell, causing everyone present to change their expressions.

Lieutenant General Tsuru's eyes were slightly red as he stood to the side, shaking his head and sighing repeatedly.

“Karp… has been in a low mood these past few days, constantly blaming himself, saying that he should bear most of the responsibility for the large number of casualties in this war. He is in great pain and torment, so it is understandable that he would take the action of chasing Rayleigh alone.”

"Send someone to bring the doctor over immediately! How about this, our intelligence agency has submarines, which are much faster than warships. Let someone take the submarine there! I'll go with you!" Black Horse said solemnly.

"Let me go first."

The situation was urgent, and even the most carefree and unreliable Kizaru became serious.

As soon as Bogart mentioned the location of Amazon Lily, Rorschach left the meeting room and found Doss, who was on duty at the temporary hospital, and brought him out.

He was about to take Doss directly to Amazon Lily, but the moment he took off, he seemed to remember something, so he quickly abandoned Doss and flashed to the front of another person who had already been locked onto by Observation Haki.

"Lilith! Do you still have the golden bead I gave you last time? It's urgent, give it to me quickly. I'll repay you double when we get to the New World."

Upon hearing this, Lilith, who was working on the worn-out enclosure in the Marineford underground laboratory, reached into her ample bosom and pulled out the gold bead that was embedded in a necklace. She handed it to Rorschach and said with delight, "Heh, here you go. You'd better keep your word and pay me back double."

Before Lilith could finish speaking, Rorschach's figure, which had just appeared in front of her, had already vanished.

When Dawes saw Rorschach again, he saw his body leaping towards him, instantly growing larger in the wind, transforming on the open plains of Marineford into a colossal creature, two hundred meters long and resembling a mountain, surrounded by blood-red thunderclouds.

The howling wind swept up Doss's body and easily carried him to the broad back of the Qilin beast. Then, the sky above Marineford suddenly trembled, accompanied by a deafening roar of the storm and thunder. The Qilin beast that Rorschach had transformed into vanished instantly, disappearing from the shocked and stunned gazes of Black Horse and the others.

"Such speed, such ferocious aura, truly terrifying! Is this the powerful force of the awakened Kirin Fruit? It seems I won't need to go." Kizaru raised his hand to shield himself from the dust he kicked up, exclaiming in amazement.

Seeing Sengoku still staring blankly at the Den Den Mushi, Vice Admiral Tsuru reached out and patted his arm. "Don't worry, with Rorschach there, Garp will be fine."

Sengoku shook his head, his eyes red and moist, and said in a hoarse voice, "That bastard Garp, this war wasn't his fault, and the deaths and injuries of the soldiers weren't caused by him either. Why is he so hard on himself? He's over seventy years old, almost in his grave, can't he be a little more open-minded? If we really have to pick someone to be responsible for this war, that person is definitely not him, but me!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru pursed her lips, looking at Sengoku who was caught in a painful self-blame, and then thought of Garp who was seriously injured and dying on Amazon Lily. Suddenly, the image of the three of them joining the Navy many years ago flashed into her mind.

"Ugh."

She suddenly sighed, looked at Sengoku and said gently, "Sengoku, when Garp comes back, let's resign from the World Government. We've carried this burden of justice for far too long."

Sengoku didn't speak, but just stood at the entrance of the conference hall, clutching the Den Den Mushi, looking haggard and lost in thought as he gazed at the vast sea in front of Marineford.

10,000 meters above the ground.

Sitting on the back of the Qilin, which was as spacious as the inner bay of Marineford, Daus was surprised to find that no matter how fast the Qilin flew beneath him, it did not stir up any howling winds around him.

The colossal Qilin seemed to encounter no resistance from the surrounding air whatsoever, moving with the ease of a fish in water, leaving a trail of brilliant lightning, like a shooting star piercing the sky of paradise, as it sped toward the direction of the windless zone.

In just a few minutes, Doss saw the Sabaody Archipelago below come into view, then quickly move away, shrinking and disappearing from sight.

Wherever the colossal Qilin beast passed, the air seemed to deliberately move aside, sliding along its smooth, shimmering azure scales to the sides and up and down.

They moved so fast that they far exceeded the speed of sound, but they did not produce a sonic boom; only the occasional crackling of electrical noise could be heard.

While marveling at the power of Rorschach's awakened Beast-type abilities, Doss also thought of a question.

"Rorschach! Did you bring the Log Pose from Amazon Lily?"

The colossal Qilin opened its mouth and emitted a thunderous, human-like voice.

"No."

Upon hearing this, Doss was stunned and exclaimed in astonishment, "What? You didn't bring a log pointer? How are we going to get to Amazon Lily? You should have asked the logistics department for one."

To everyone's surprise, Rorschach said, "No need. Amazon Lisboa is to the right of Enies Lobby. I just need to enter the Calm Belt from there to find it."

"Why? The calm seas are so vast." Doss was still somewhat puzzled.

"Because of my Observation Haki, I can sense an area of ​​200 kilometers in radius. As long as I move along the center of the Calm Belt, the entire Calm Belt sea area will be scanned by my Observation Haki, and the small Amazon Lily will not be missed."

Rorschach's answer left Doss speechless, his mouth agape.

"Two...two hundred kilometers?"

Doss knew that Rorschach's current strength was so great that he could look up to him.

But he didn't expect that he still greatly underestimated the extent of Luo Xia's current perversion.

What does it mean to have a perception range of 200 kilometers with Observation Haki?

Doesn't this mean that Rorschach, standing on the ocean outside Marineford, can sense the situation in Sabaody Archipelago, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Fish-Man Island, and even the New World on the other side of the Red Line?

Is this even human?

If a war breaks out, and the enemy has already revealed their whereabouts 200 kilometers away, how much time will the navy have to make the best response?

With the speed of the pirate ship, they even had time to sit down, have a meal, and then take a nap.

"You little rascal...you really are a freak. Is this what the world of monsters is like?"

The envy and awe in Dawes's heart did not last long. From Marineford to Amazon Lily, a distance of over a thousand kilometers, Rorschach arrived in just over thirty minutes.

It flies at supersonic speeds throughout, with speeds exceeding 1,000 per second for several minutes.

This terrifying physical strength is beyond description; even the word "monster" cannot be used to describe Rorschach.

On Nine Serpent Island, when the colossal Qilin beast, two hundred meters long and sixty or seventy meters tall, covered with countless azure scales and with large clusters of blood-red thunderclouds surging from its body, swooped down from ten thousand meters above the sky, the entire island fell into a deathly silence.

Before Marie Grood and the other female pirates of the Kuja Pirates could even feel the shock, Rorschach's Conqueror's Haki swept across the entire Kuja Island like a massive storm reaching the heavens and the earth.

After the storm of Conqueror's Haki that erupted in an instant disappeared, only Hancock, Granny Newt, and Bogart remained standing on Amazon Lily.

As soon as the Qilin beast landed, Daos nimbly leaped off its back, grabbed the medical kit, rushed to Karp, and quickly retrieved the transfusion equipment and blood bags.

Rorschach, riding on his four hooves that resembled towering pillars, arrived before Hancock. He slowly lowered his ferocious, enormous dragon head, staring intently at Hancock, whose face was cold and who was gritting her teeth, with his majestic and indifferent vertical pupils.

"Hancock, I'll give you ten seconds. If you don't remove the petrification from those marines, I'll bury you and your Kuja Pirates on this very island beneath your feet."

The giant beast opened its ferocious maw, its fangs gleaming, and its long whiskers swayed around its lips.

An indescribable sense of terror and majesty, like a mountain ten thousand meters high or a sea ten thousand meters deep, pressed down on Hancock's heart, making her feel a tightness in her chest, as if she were about to suffocate.

Grandma Niu, who was standing next to her with a cane, was even more horrified and looked up in disbelief at the giant Qilin beast that Luo Xia had transformed into.

Standing less than a meter tall, she appeared so tiny at the feet of the colossal Qilin that her figure was barely visible.

Although she had already seen Rorschach's powerful presence, capable of confronting Whitebeard, on the Marine Headquarters' live broadcast worldwide.

But images are just images; they can't truly convey just how powerful this young naval officer, who shone brightest in the Marineford War and single-handedly killed Whitebeard, really was.

But at this moment, Grandma New felt it.

This imposing aura, as solid as a mountain and as vast as the deep sea, involuntarily reminded her of Whitebeard, Shiki, Roger, and Rocks from back then.

Tough!

Unparalleled in its power!

It possesses a power that leaves one speechless and trembling in one's heart.

Hearing Rorschach's impolite, even humiliating, command, Hancock was furious. Without thinking, she stomped her foot, and a long, white leg, already wrapped in high-level Armament Haki, kicked towards the face of the giant beast before her.

"Dream on! I'll kill you! You big fragrant feet!"

Chapter 696 Indecisiveness is Not Heroic

"If you're so stubborn, then die."

Faced with Hancock's kick that seemed to shatter the air, a cold glint appeared in Rorschach's enormous vertical pupils. His ferocious dragon mouth opened, first unleashing a tsunami-like surge of deep blue Haki, firmly blocking Hancock's right kick.

Then, a blindingly bright white light shone from his gaping, ferocious maw.

That wasn't a pacifist laser; it was a surging bolt of lightning, brimming with destructive energy, boundless rage, and terrifying energy fluctuations.

Beams of silver dragon-like lightning burst forth from the surging thunder, resembling beams of light bursting from a dragon's mouth.

This is a thunderous breath with an electric current intensity of up to two billion volts.

Its power is even more terrifying than Enel's Thunderclap.

A single strike would be enough to wipe the Nine-She Island beneath their feet off the calm sea.
