One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Thank you.

"Yo ho ho ho, you're welcome. Our Bounty Hunter Guild has officially formed a mutual watch alliance with your G5 branch. We should be looking out for each other in a dangerous place like the New World, shouldn't we?"

Brook chuckled, his skeletal body spiraling along the ground, his longsword extended, transforming him into a slender, sharp drill. With a whoosh, he pierced through the crowded horde of beasts, passing through the bodies of three or four powerful creatures comparable to brigadier generals, before turning back and landing lightly like a feather in front of Penn.

Behind him, the wounds of the beasts pierced by his sword and body were rapidly frozen by a layer of icy cold air, and they froze to death in the blink of an eye, falling stiff as rocks.

Brook scratched his head and looked at Penn curiously. "Excuse me, Colonel Penn, are you also a user of the Revive-Revive Fruit?"

Within his hollow eye sockets, where a ghastly green soul flame flickered, it seemed as if two gazes were fixed upon Peng En's skeletal face.

Penn wasn't embarrassed. He pulled a smile, revealing one that looked terrifying to others but very friendly to Brooke, and said, "No, I was born this way, Mr. Brooke."

"Oh ho ho ho ho, that's really presumptuous of me. Please don't mind my rudeness."

Brooke removed his black top hat and bowed slightly.

"It's alright, I don't mind. Be careful! The beast is about to attack again, Mr. Brooke, please be careful."

Peng En gripped his sword and with a single stroke, cleaved a venomous snake that flew towards him like an arrow in two. He then stood on the outermost edge of the defensive line, facing the most ferocious beast's charge.

Seeing this, Brooke also took his longsword and walked to his side to fight alongside Penn.

"Awoo!"

A huge white wolf with snow-white fur raised its head and let out a loud howl. Its paws with thick pads ran like the wind across the broken grass. Behind it were more than twenty white wolves, all over ten meters tall, swarming towards Sera, Hawkins, Hanks, Deckardban and the others.

Moreover, behind this wolf pack was a tiger pack, also over twenty in number and over twenty in length.

And a dozen or so giant gorillas, each over ten meters tall and covered in black fur, rushed at them with red eyes and drooling.

"The beasts on this island are truly insane, utterly devoid of reason."

Sera stomped her foot, causing the air to explode, and used Moonwalk to dodge the attack of a white wolf. She then soared into the air above the wolf pack, unleashing a series of arc-shaped slashes with her feet.

"Storm kick! Chaos!"

Dozens of powerful slashing kicks rained down, striking the white giant wolves and cutting open wounds on their backs, causing blood to gush out and stain their snow-white fur red.

Hawkins gripped the sword in his left hand and held the hilt in his right. The straw sword, entirely constructed from his abilities, was wreathed in jet-black Armament Haki. He slashed at the roaring tiger pack charging towards him with lightning speed.

"One-Sword Style! Convergence! Black Flash!"

"laugh!"

A jet-black slash, like a black lightning bolt, swept past the onrushing tiger pack, cleaving three or four giant tigers in two. The spray of blood, like a crimson curtain, instantly stained the ground beneath their feet red.

The tiger pack, torn apart by Hawkins' sword, did not flinch and flee. Instead, stimulated by the blood, their eyes turned blood red, and they roared madly as they pounced.

Hawkins' expression remained unchanged, without the slightest fluctuation, as he plunged his longsword into the ground in front of him.

"The image of a demon slayer!"

The next moment, his body rapidly grew taller, and countless straws were pulled out of his body, wrapping him up. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a straw demon four or five meters tall, holding a large handful of black nails, which he shot at the giant tiger that was pouncing on him.

Each long nail was precisely driven into the tigers' foreheads, deeply embedded in their skulls.

The giant tiger, its head pierced by long nails, was still alive, roaring and struggling wildly, its eyes turning red as it suddenly attacked all the creatures around it.

"Life stripped away!"

Hawkins made a grabbing motion from a distance, and the black nails driven into the giant tiger's head suddenly transformed into countless gray straws. These straws sucked and absorbed the tiger's blood and brains, taking root and sprouting tender green leaves within their heads. They then broke through the tigers' pores and grew out from their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses.

Only then did these frenzied beasts collapse heavily.

Behind them, another, even louder tiger roar came.

Hawkins did not turn around and continued firing spikes at the seemingly endless horde of beasts.

A giant tiger appeared again in the open space behind him.

However, it was not the only survivor among the tiger pack, but a saber-toothed tiger that was four or five meters long.

Ban landed on all fours, his body swelled, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant ancient saber-toothed tiger. He opened his four huge, curved fangs, sprang up from the ground like a spring, and darted in front of a gorilla. With his blood-red maw open, he was about to bite through the throat of the red-eyed gorilla.

The gorilla, in pain, swung its massive arm and smashed down.

However, before the howling wind could even get close, Ban, transformed into a saber-toothed tiger, leaped onto the other gorillas and began a frenzied slaughter.

One minute, ten minutes, an hour.

Time passed slowly, and before everyone's eyes, the corpses of the dead beasts had piled up like mountains, and the surrounding grassland had turned into a sticky, blackish-red swamp.

But the number of ferocious beasts charging from the front showed no signs of decreasing.

Not only did the tremors not decrease, but the ground beneath our feet began to tremble violently.

Before the eyes of the somewhat exhausted Sera and the others, the crowded herd of beasts was brutally pushed aside by a group of even larger ferocious beasts, and trampled into a pulp by long, pillar-like legs.

Those were giant mammoths, each seventy or eighty meters long and over twenty meters tall.

The beasts on Wilmeyou Island are unlike those on other islands.

Compared to ordinary beasts of the same kind, the beasts here, which Indigo once used as a testing ground for IQ drugs, are much more ferocious, larger, and stronger.

In terms of sheer strength, these giant elephants have reached, or even surpassed, the level of a lieutenant general in the headquarters. That's why Sera and the others could see that purple wooden plaques were attached to the large ears of these giant elephants.

It was Rorschach who personally tied it up over several days.

Tashigi, who was standing at the very front of the group, had just leaped more than ten meters high and slashed at the charging mammoth with her sword when a huge, whip-like trunk struck her sword. She spat out a mouthful of blood and flew back like a cannonball.

After sending Tashigi flying with its trunk, the lead mammoth continued its attack, using its trunk to reach for the flying Tashigi with the agility of a human arm.

"Major Tashigi!" Upon seeing this, Peng En didn't hesitate. He leaped up from the ground, swung his longsword, and slashed at the giant elephant.

"Oh!"

With a muffled thud, Peng En, who had leaped up, followed in Tashigi's footsteps, and was sent flying by a phantom-like elephant trunk that swept across the room.

The two men had just coughed up blood and been thrown into the air when they were enveloped by an invisible air shield and dragged away from the battlefield.

"Peng En!"

Ban, in his saber-toothed tiger form, rushed over immediately.

At the same time, Sera, Hawkins, Brooke, Andrei, and others all rushed forward, trying to stop this group of mammoths whose strength far exceeded that of the previous herd.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

The stampeding mammoth herd suddenly let out a series of deafening roars, as if they were fleeing from something, and scattered in panic, leaving Sera, Brooke, and the others who came to stop them empty-handed.

Just as everyone was puzzled, they saw the green grass on the ground beneath their feet, which had been trampled beyond recognition by the beasts, suddenly swell up wildly as if inflated.

The tiny blades of grass, barely half a finger thick, grew into a lush, verdant expanse tens of meters long in just a few breaths, like sharp green swords piercing the thick, rough flesh of the mammoths.

"Gulp, gulp."

A chilling swallowing sound emanated from the grass stems that had pierced the giant elephant's body.

Sera and the others then saw that the roots of the green grass, which seemed to have come to life and were growing wildly, were swelling up with large, flowing bulges, like giant green pythons devouring giant eggs, constantly transporting the eggs they had swallowed to the bottom of the roots and sending them toward the unknown underground.

In just a few breaths, the seven or eight mammoths, each as large as a mountain and stronger than a lieutenant general in the headquarters, were pierced and devoured by the countless wildly growing green grasses, reduced to mere skeletons, and collapsed helplessly on the grass.

The green grass stems that had drained the giant elephants were like giant, living green pythons, writhing and twisting on the ground around them, occasionally piercing into the corpses of dead beasts, gulping away their life force.

Sera and the others were so shocked by the bizarre scene before them that they dared not move.

"What the hell is this thing? A man-eating plant?" Sera asked in horror.

The herd of mammoths, which exuded a terrifying aura, was drained dry by these previously inconspicuous grasses in less than ten seconds.

They had been fighting for so long on this strange and dangerous grassland, yet they hadn't even noticed the terrible danger beneath their feet.

Just thinking about it made Sera's heart tremble.

"Da." "Da." "Da."

Suddenly, heavy footsteps came from behind them, startling Sera and the others who had been focusing all their attention on the giant grass stems.

Sera looked back and saw a tall man with short dark green hair, wearing sunglasses and a cigarette in his mouth, walking towards her with his hands in his pockets on the grass not far ahead.

Seeing that he seemed oblivious to the thick grass stems under his feet and stepped on them, Peng En's expression changed slightly as he reminded him:

"Watch out! Don't step on those creepy, man-eating plants! Are you a new recruit also participating in the military?"

"Huh? Are you asking me?" The person stopped in his tracks, took his right hand out of his pocket, stuck out an index finger, scratched his cheek, and looked over with a somewhat confused expression.

Sera was about to reply when Zoro suddenly shouted from behind her.

"Stay there and don't move! Sierra!"

Sera looked bewildered.

In the next instant, several agile figures rushed over from a distance, arriving in a flash and blocking the way between the man in sunglasses and Sera and the others.

Sera looked closely and saw Zoro, Bepo, Pamel, and Yamato carrying a spiked club.

At this moment, the four of them looked at the man in sunglasses with obvious seriousness in their eyes.

Zoro gripped Shusui in his right hand, pointed it at the other person, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Are you asking me?" The man scratched his messy, dark green curly hair, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said lazily, "My name is Aramu, nice to meet you."

"Aramaki?"

Palmer stared cautiously at the man in front of him who called himself Aramaki. His right hand, as thick as a stone pillar, had involuntarily gripped the Murakumogiri tucked into his waistband.

Aramaki narrowed his eyes slightly behind his sunglasses, looking at the weapon in his hand, and said in surprise, "If I'm not mistaken, big guy, the weapon you're holding should be Whitebeard's Supreme Grade Sword, Murakumogiri, right?"

His words made Zoro and Yamato glance at the Murakumogiri in Pamel's hand.

But he only glanced at it before turning his attention back to Huang Mu in front of him.

Because at this very moment, in Zoro and Yamato's perception using Observation Haki, the seemingly harmless man in front of them was radiating a terrifyingly vigorous life force.

This vibrant life force, so intense that even the composed Zoro felt a jolt in his heart, was more exaggerated than any other powerful person he had ever seen.

Even the life force emanating from Luo Xia was not as robust as that of the man before him.

What is this concept?

You should know that Rorschach is now the world's top awakened Mythical Zoan user.

Zoro felt as if he were standing not in front of a person, but in a dense primeval forest.

It is not only full of indescribable vitality, but also hides a chilling, invisible killing intent.

"Can I see that weapon?"
