One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

But the two of them seemed to have their souls ripped out, staring blankly at the sea they had come from.

"Where is our ship?" Quinn's lips moved as he murmured to himself as if in a dream.

The image reflected in Chavez's wide-open pupils was a huge trench that had suddenly appeared on the sea surface off Soft Island.

The dozen or so pirate ships that were originally in that location had vanished without a trace, not even a single plank of wood was missing.

The only thing in the air was a strong, acrid smell.

As they spun, the two stiffly turned their heads to look at Soft Island.

On the soft island.

In the instant that beam of light, hundreds of meters thick, pierced through the sea and shot down from the horizon, only a very few people, including Barrett, Ryder, Katakuri, King, and Wald, reacted.

"You've finally arrived, you little brat from the Navy."

Barrett watched the terrifying beam of light shooting across the sea, but he didn't leave his spot. Instead, a massive amount of deep blue domineering energy surged from his tall and burly body, covering and enveloping the ground beneath his feet.

A strange force acted simultaneously on the ground, soaking and permeating the ground within a radius of 100 meters, breaking it into countless purple-blue crystal blocks.

Countless purple-blue crystals surged up like ocean waves, forming a thick barrier in front of Barrett, blocking a sliver of the aftershock of the enormous beam of light that wasn't even aimed at him.

In the center of the island, Ryder lifted the blood-red cloak behind him, completely enveloping his entire body.

Katakuri gritted his teeth, white mochi waves emanating from his body as he tried to control the awakened power of the Mochi Mochi Fruit, turning the ground beneath his feet into mochi to protect his younger siblings behind him.

Jin's heart pounded with alarm, but he remained calm. Flames rose behind his head, and he unfurled broad black wings that enveloped his body.

"What the hell is this? Brother! Come to me quickly!"

Fear flashed in Wald's eyes. He accelerated to a hundred times the normal speed and reached for his brother Bingjac, who was not far away.

The actions and reactions of the several people were completed almost simultaneously.

The next instant, half of the soft island was grazed by a huge beam of light shooting from the distant sea.

"boom!"

Amidst the crackling and popping of electric arcs, a deafening explosion resounded throughout the new world, like a thunderclap echoing across the heavens.

Towering smoke and dust, turbulent air currents, and billowing seawater were generated beneath this pillar of light that seemed to pierce through the ocean, shrouding the vast Soft Island in chaos.

At that moment, the waters off Totland trembled as if an earthquake had struck, the seawater outside Soft Island roared and crashed, and the entire sea swayed and bounced like a carpet being violently rippled.

As the billowing dust, resembling a sandstorm, gradually dissipated, a massive ravine, hundreds of meters deep and hundreds of meters wide, ran from west to east through the entire Songruan Island, cutting it in two.

In that ravine-like chasm, all the flowers, trees, gold, and even the pirate crews fighting each other vanished without a trace.

At the edge of the Great Rift Valley, Pizarro, who had survived by using the Island-Island Fruit's ability to burrow underground, stared in horror at the terrifying scene before him.

Just now, at least thirty high-ranking members of their Devil Pirates escaped from Infinite Hell. Each of them was a prisoner with strength no less than a Marine Rear Admiral. They vanished from the island and disappeared without a trace.

Not far away, the massive warship San Juan Wolf, which had been engaged in a fierce battle with the Ward Pirates, now stood stiffly in place with only half of its body remaining. The right side of its body, along with its enormous head, had vanished. The cross-section of the missing body revealed charred, coal-like blackish-red flesh and blood.

"I...I...I'm not dead! I'm not dead! Hahaha, muru ho ho ho, I'm still alive!"

From the pile of rubble nearby, Dai Peng's ugly, dust-covered face emerged, letting out a trembling scream as if he had survived the ordeal.

Several painful and sorrowful roars came from afar, and Pizarro recognized them as the voices of Katakuri and Wald.

"What exactly is going on? Where did that beam of light come from?"

Pizarro was also thankful that he wasn't within the Great Rift Valley, otherwise he would have been completely destroyed and gone from this world.

He manipulated the ground of Soft Island, causing it to bulge upwards, forming a giant rock head hundreds of meters high. Using the rock head's wide field of vision, he looked down upon the entire Soft Island.

Then he was completely stunned.

On the opposite side of the Great Rift Valley, Katakuri's thousands of pirates and Wald's Ward Pirates all disappeared, leaving only Katakuri, Wald, King, and a dozen or so scattered pirates with faces full of fear, frozen in place.

Katakuri was holding two charred and mangled corpses in his arms. Pizarro recognized them as the bodies of Perospero and Smoothie.

Unexpectedly, even these two pirates, whose strength was no less than his, failed to survive the pillar of light.

On Soft Island, all three major pirate crews suffered heavy losses. On the sea outside the island, the dozens of pirate ships that had originally come with great momentum are now less than half of their original size, struggling in the turbulent waves.

In the brief moment he was looking around, two more pirate ships were overturned by the wind and waves and swallowed by the churning sea.

A hundred meters away in the sky, the sound of flapping wings came. Pizarro turned his gaze and saw a black bat flapping its wings and shooting into the sky. Its body continued to expand and enlarge during flight, and finally it turned into a young man wearing a red cloak, holding a spine demon sword, and bursting out a powerful aura of dominance. He slashed the empty void with his sword.

It was Ryder.

"Crack!"

A silvery-white lightning bolt arrived over Soft Island in an instant from the distant horizon, and Ryder's Overlord Blade intercepted the incoming lightning.

then……

"Clang!"

A deafening explosion, capable of shattering gold and splitting rocks, reverberated across the soft island, piercing Pizarro's eardrums and making his head feel as if it were about to explode.

In the sky, Ryder, who had just shot out, was as if hit by a meteorite. He flew back at an even faster speed than when he went out, and with a loud bang, he crashed heavily into the bottom of the gaping rift valley, smashing a bottomless hole in the ground.

Pizarro and Depon's pupils dilated, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"Red... he was sent flying? How is that possible?! He's the Lone Red! Even Kaido..."

Dai Peng's scream caught in his throat, and he couldn't finish speaking.

Because the silvery-white lightning bolts falling from the sky had already crashed onto the ground in front of them like meteorites.

A tall, slender figure with long, flowing silver hair emerged from the billowing dust, a gentle smile on his face that they would never forget.

"Everyone, it's been a long time."

Chapter 746 Unstoppable!

The young man before me had a resolute appearance, long silver-white hair, and a pair of clear, azure eyes as blue as the sky.

He was shirtless, revealing his muscular physique resembling an iron wall.

It's unimaginable what kind of attack could have left so many deep, crisscrossing scars on his steel-like muscles.

The silver-haired boy's face clearly wore a gentle smile that seemed to warm the heart, but to Devon and Pizarro, it was like the sinister smile of a demon from hell, filling them with fear and despair from the depths of their souls.

"Blue...Blue...General Blue Scale!"

Pizarro, who had merged into the entire soft island and manipulated the land to form a giant rock head hundreds of meters high, let out a thunderous scream.

On the ground around them, the prisoners of Infinite Hell, who were deeply shocked by the destructive power of the previous terrifying pillar of light, looked at Rorschach, who had descended from the sky alone and landed in the center of the encirclement of the three pirate crews, with hatred, anger or fear on their faces.

"It's General Lan Lin!"

"It was him! Was that attack he caused? That bastard, I'm going to get my revenge for what happened in Infinite Hell!"

Immediately, prisoners from the Infinite Hell approached Rorschach's location with weapons in hand.

However, some who knew how terrifying the attack had been remained in place to observe, or even retreated from the central battlefield of the island, quietly heading towards the outer edge of the island, trying to escape this chaotic meat grinder battlefield.

They had a premonition that a greater crisis was about to unfold.

Even Admiral Lan Lin has arrived, so how far away can the main force of the navy be?

Staying here will only lead to death like those unlucky guys who won't even be found intact.

"Rorschach!!"

A furious roar, like that of a ferocious beast, suddenly came from behind Luo Xia.

He turned slightly to the side and saw Katakuri, who was holding the corpses of his brother and sister, staring at him with blood-red eyes like a mad beast.

"It's Katakuri. Long time no see."

I'm going to kill you!

The usually calm and composed Katakuri turned into a madman at this moment, unable to remain calm any longer. After gently placing the bodies of Perospero and Smoothie on his body, he stomped his foot and rose up, charging towards Rorschach.

Jin, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, followed Katakuri with the Second Generation Kitetsu, charging towards Rorschach together.

Not to mention that Perospero, Smoothie, and the others are now members of their Beasts Pirates, even the tens of thousands of pirates who came to provide support from the outer sea were blasted away by that beam of light, nearly half of them.

And all of this is absolutely related to General Lan Lin in front of us.

Not only Katakuri and King, but also Wald, with red eyes, charged towards Rorschach.

Because his brother Bingjac, and all the capable cadres he had painstakingly recruited, were blasted into dust within that beam of light.

Although he still has several thousand pirates recruited in the New World in his base, without these core members, his Ward Pirates are completely finished.

He didn't even manage to steal the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and Teach, who could have expanded his Devil Fruit army, was captured by Barrett.

Grief and indignation filled Wald's chest, making him feel like he was about to explode.

Originally, he still had a sliver of hope that he could snatch the Tremor-Tremor Fruit back from Bullet. If the Devil Pirates and the Beasts Pirates fought, and he and the Ward Pirates helped the Beasts Pirates from the sidelines, he might be able to find an opening and use the Momo-Momo Fruit's hundredfold speed to retrieve the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

But all of this was destroyed by that beam of light, and by this despicable brat in front of me!

From the deep pit at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley, a giant blood-red bat soared into the sky, took on the form of Ryder, and looked down at Rorschach below.

"I didn't expect that you would still find this Devil Fruit that can reverse aging, Ryder."

Rorschach ignored Katakuri and his group, who were closing in from all sides, and looked up slightly at Ryder.

Ryder glanced at the obvious cracks on the demon sword in his hand, then looked at Rorschach with a solemn expression. "Compared to a few months ago, you have become even stronger. It seems that there is truly an extraordinary figure in the Navy of this era. No wonder you were able to single-handedly extinguish the Great Pirate Era founded by Roger."

"To receive such praise from the legendary Solitary Red is truly an honor for a junior like me."

"Pizarro, where are you... going?"

Rorschach smiled faintly and turned to look at Pizarro, who was preparing to escape into the rocks.

Feeling Rorschach's gaze directed at him, Pizarro was instantly terrified. His body, which was fused with the soft island, quickly moved towards the shore where Barrett was.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, meow! Get away from meow!"

With a light tap of his foot, Luo Xia's figure, gripping the Heavenly Dragon Halberd, left behind a shattered afterimage of lightning.

As he moved, Ryder in mid-air also moved.

"Dance of the Eternal Night! Round Wave Slash!"

The crescent-shaped crimson slash, like a blood-red crescent moon, descended from the sky and struck Rorschach's back.

His attack speed was undeniably fast, but Luo Xia's speed was even faster than his slashes!
