One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Hmm." Satan Saint was satisfied with Rorschach's answer, turned to look at Kizaru, and began to tell him about the events on Egg Point Island.

Kong continued to introduce Luo Xia.

"This is the Environmental War God, Marcus-Mazsa."

Mazsan was dressed in a black suit, with long, flowing hair and a long, three-lobed beard. His eyes and brows were slightly downcast, making him appear to be the gentlest of the Five Elders.

After listening to Kong's introduction, he simply nodded slightly at Luo Xia without saying a word.

Rorschach responded with a smile, called out "Saint Maz" and then looked at the next person.

"This is the God of Law, Topman-Vocuri Saint."

Vochuli was a large, round-headed Mediterranean old man with a thick, boat-shaped mustache and several prominent birthmarks on his forehead.

Luo Xia remembered that in the comics of his previous life, before the Five Elders were named, this guy was called "Map Head" by fans because of the birthmarks on his forehead.

Like Maz Saint, Map Head seemed to have nothing to say to Rorschach, not even bothering to nod.

Kong seemed to be very familiar with his temperament and directly introduced Luo Xia to an elderly man in a black suit sitting on the right.

"This is the God of Agriculture, Shepard-X-Pit Saint."

“Saint Pitt.” Rorschach called out as usual, as if to fulfill a duty, and was about to shift his gaze from him to the bald, bespectacled old man among the Five Elders, whom he was most interested in, when he saw Saint Pitt get up from the sofa and walk towards him.

Luo Xia's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained expressionless, still wearing a formulaic smile.

Pittor Saint walked up to Rorschach, looking down at him with an arrogant and indifferent gaze.

"Rorschach, to be honest, I don't like you very much."

Rorschach was stunned.

Holy crap, is this guy really that direct?

Rorschach never expected that this Saint Pitt would be so direct in front of so many people, in front of Rorschach who had just been promoted to general, to say that he didn't like him.

This is……

Satan Saint's sweet carrots are all gone, now it's time for the big stick to beat him?

Before Rorschach could speak, Pitt Saint continued, hands behind his back, "You're too young, too arrogant!"

His voice carried a reprimanding tone, completely disregarding Kong's unpleasant expression.

"To carry out your so-called justice, you disobeyed even our orders. You dared to defy orders and forcibly kill Doflamingo despite Grimm's attempts to stop you. Rorschach, do you know your crime?!"

He raised his voice, as if questioning or interrogating Rorschach.

With his short hair and beard meticulously groomed and dressed in a neat black suit, Pitt Saint is the one among the Five Elders who most closely resembles the elegant and noble image of the nobles from the member states.

However, the gruesome scar on his neck gave him a very intimidating aura.

Facing his piercing gaze, Luo Xia sneered inwardly, but a flush rose on his face, and he said with a somewhat agitated voice, "I don't think I'm guilty!"

"How dare you!"

Pittor Saint's expression changed drastically. He glared at Rorschach, and a fierce and terrifying aura emanated from him, making him appear to Rorschach like a ferocious beast.

No, perhaps "demon" would be a more fitting description.

"Rorschach!" Kong was startled by Rorschach's rebuttal to Saint Pitt and quickly grabbed Rorschach's arm, afraid that Rorschach would act impulsively and ruin things.

The other four old men sitting on the sofa remained silent, all looking in this direction.

Kizaru tilted his head, while Akainu crossed his arms and remained silent.

Huang Mu, however, looked at Luo Xia with a gloating expression, seemingly pleased with Luo Xia's humiliation.

Meeting Pittor Saint's fierce gaze, Rorschach, as if wronged, continued with red eyes and a stiff neck, "I don't think I'm guilty of killing Doflamingo! He's a pirate, and a heinous one at that. He openly colluded with Kaido, providing him with a large number of artificial Devil Fruits, helping Kaido build a Zoan-type army, and even hoarding large quantities of explosive rocks to use against our Marines, causing huge casualties. Even if I had another chance, I would still kill him!"

"You! You scoundrel!" Saint Pitt was furious and was about to shout at him, but was stopped by Saint Satan sitting behind him.

Saint Satan interjected, “Alright, Saint Pitt, Rorschach is only thinking of our rule. Don’t be too harsh on him. Besides, hasn’t he already paid the price for his recklessness? Think of the murder of Roswald on Sabaody Archipelago and the attack on Musgard on the Tesoro. Rorschach has done his best to protect the World Nobles. In several wars against pirates, he has also led from the front, truly fighting with his life. He has shown us enough loyalty. We should be more lenient with him.”

"Hmph! If it weren't for his loyalty, would we have so easily made a teenager a Marine Admiral? I don't want such acts of disobeying the World Government's orders to happen again, Rorschach, did you hear me?"

Pittor Saint snorted coldly and looked at Rorschach indifferently.

"Pirates deserve to die."

Rorschach, however, gave a cold reply, seemingly unrelated to the question.

"you!"

Piet Saint's gaze sharpened, and he was about to speak again when he was persuaded to return to the sofa by the bald, bespectacled Five Elders.

The bald Five Elders didn't need to introduce themselves; they smiled and introduced themselves to Rorschach.

"Rorschach, I am the World Government's Financial God of War, Izambaron V. Nass Juro. I know your past, your hometown and your family, and how you suffered persecution at the hands of pirates. Therefore, I can understand your hatred for pirates. You are right, pirates, these pests that stir up the sea and undermine the World Government's rule, truly deserve to die."

Upon hearing Nassuro Sei's approval, the resentment on Luo Xia's face seemed to ease considerably.

He said in a low voice, "No matter what the five lords think, I, Rorschach, only want to end this chaotic Great Pirate Era and kill those lawless pirates. If Saint Pitt has a problem with me, I can leave the Navy. To fulfill my dream, I will join the Bounty Hunter Guild and continue hunting Kaido, Shanks, Bullet, and the others until all pirates are wiped out."

"Haha, no, no. Your dream is excellent, and that's exactly what we want to see, and what the Navy will be doing in the future. Come, sit down, let's have a good talk."

Nassshuro pushed up his glasses, a satisfied smile spreading across his old face. He actually took Rorschach's arm and led him to the sofa to sit opposite him.

"Rorschach, can you tell me about the Seagull Pictures you and Morgans started? What kind of business plans are there going to be developed next?"

On the sofa, Nassuro Sei, holding a long, sheathed sword, looked at Rorschach with a smile, appearing very approachable, without any of the aggressiveness of Pit Sei.

"Nassshuro Sei would actually be interested in this?" Rorschach seemed somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, of course. I am the financial strategist of the World Government, in charge of all the profitable industries under its control. And the business projects you jointly launched have reportedly earned hundreds of billions of Berries in just a few days, making a fortune. Even for the business geniuses we personally nurtured, earning that much money would not be easy. However, more than the Berries you earned, I am more interested in your idea of ​​using global live streaming for advertising and news broadcasting. I have a feeling that these methods might bring revolutionary changes to the industries under the World Government's control."

Nassou's words sent a chill down Rorschach's spine.

It's said that old people become shrewd, let alone Nasu Shoulang, the old devil who has been in charge of the World Government's finances for countless years.

While the other five elders were focused on how much money the Navy made from this global live broadcast, only Nassou saw the enormous commercial potential hidden within.

Luo Xia looked troubled and said with a wry smile, "Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Nass Shoulang. I'm just a hard worker, how could I come up with such a brain-burning way to make money? If you want to know the specifics, you may have to ask President Morgans."

Nasshoulang Sheng's face showed a hint of disappointment when he heard Luo Xia's words, but he still smiled and said, "Indeed, it is quite difficult for me to ask you for advice on these business issues. I must say, that birdman Morgans is quite capable, to be able to come up with such novel ideas. It's a pity that the guy is so stubborn, he just won't listen, even threatening him with death is useless, he's a real mule."

As Nassou Sei spoke, Rorschach listened quietly without interrupting him.

After casually mentioning how Charmaco and the others had been provoked by Musgarud's clumsy goading into spending hundreds of billions of Berries, Nassjuro noticed that Rorschach's gaze was fixed on the long sword in his hand. He raised an eyebrow and picked up the sword.

"It seems you're quite interested in this knife in my hand, Rorschach."

Luo Xia snapped out of his reverie and nodded somewhat awkwardly.

"Yes, I am indeed quite interested in the sword that Nasujuro is wielding. Back in the Marine Headquarters, I heard from Sengoku that you are a great swordsman with immense strength. Rumor has it that the sword you wield is the legendary strongest cursed sword, the Supreme Grade Sword, the First Generation Kitetsu. I wonder if that's true?"

Rorschach's flattery clearly pleased Nassou Sei.

The smile on his face became more natural.

He handed the long sword he was holding directly to Luo Xia, and said with a smile, "That's right, the sword in my hand is the first generation of the Supreme Grade Sword, Kitetsu."

Rorschach took the longsword handed to him, grasped the hilt, and slowly drew it.

As the blade of the first generation Kitetsu slowly slid out of its sheath, an extremely terrifying aura emanated from the smooth blade covered with strange patterns, as if it had lowered the temperature of the surrounding air.

Rorschach felt as if he were not holding a knife, but rather the hand of a demon.

A violent and bloodthirsty will seemed to exist within this peerless demonic sword, destined to plunge the wielder into a bloodthirsty hell.

“You can feel it now, can you? This is the demonic nature of the first generation Kitetsu.” Nasujuro said, “This demonic sword is always thirsting for fresh blood. If it is not fed fresh blood for a day, it will rebel against its master and stimulate its master’s spirit like a real demon. I now have to provide it with the blood of ten strong slaves every day to feed it.”

"As expected of the strongest demon sword, it is indeed extremely eerie." Luo Xia sheathed the blade and returned it to Nasujuro Sei with both hands, laughing, "Nasujuro Sei can control this strongest demon sword so easily. In my opinion, you are the world's greatest swordsman. Hawkeye's black sword Yoru is definitely not as good as this first generation Kitetsu."

"Hahaha, what world's greatest swordsman? It's all just empty titles. I don't care about such things. What's wrong with giving it to Hawkeye?"

Nassou Sei's old face was beaming like a chrysanthemum.

He said he didn't care, but he was actually very pleased with Luo Xia's flattery.

Luo Xia sneered inwardly.

He couldn't be happier that the old man would go and fight Hawkeye to the death for the title of the world's greatest swordsman.

I wonder if Hawkeye can take this guy down.

Rorschach wasn't quite sure.

In his memory, Hawkeye's aura was vastly different from that of the old ghost before him.

In terms of sheer vitality, even ten Hawkeyes couldn't compare to Nassou-sei before him.

Rorschach even doubted whether the old man was human at all.

Humans could not possibly possess such immense vitality.

At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the speculations Lilith had made about Devil Fruits.

Are the Five Elders before us demons themselves, or are they phantom beasts that have awakened and actively merged with the demonic will within the fruit?

Regardless of which guess is correct, one thing is certain: the Five Elders are all top-tier powerhouses at the awakened level of mythical beasts.

"Alright, that's enough small talk."

Satan tapped his cane, drawing everyone's attention.

He first looked at Rorschach and said, "Rorschach, since you get along so well with Nassuro, Nassuro will be your superior from now on. You will be responsible for liaising with him. If there is anything that requires your cooperation, you cannot refuse."

“It is my honor to work with Nassuro Sei.” Rorschach nodded in agreement.

Immediately, Nassou Sei took out a delicate little wristwatch from his pocket and handed it to Rorschach.

Rorschach knew that inside the watch case was a special Den Den Mushi (snail phone) that could communicate with Nasujiro Sei.

Without hesitation, he took it and put it on his left wrist.

Kizaru also has one.

However, the one he held was for communicating with Satan.

Satan was pleased to see that Luo Xia was very obedient.

He then cleared his throat, looked at Akainu sitting opposite him, and said in a deep voice again, "Akainu, now that your Navy's recruitment is over and the three admirals, who are the highest combat power, are in place, it's time to prepare to address some of the problems in the New World."

"I have long had this intention," Akainu said expressionlessly.

Saint Satan continued, "The New World is now even more chaotic than before the Whitebeard Pirates. Barrett and Ryder have formed the formidable Devil Pirates, seizing the territories of Whitebeard and Wang Zhi. They have already gained considerable influence, and their power has expanded far too rapidly. In just a few months, they have gathered seventy to eighty thousand pirates, reaching a level that rivals Kaido. If we continue to let them continue like this, the Devil Pirates will likely pose an even greater threat than the Whitebeard Pirates."
