One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Outside the island.

The remaining nineteen ships of the Beasts Pirates, led by Queen and Chavis, fought and retreated, constantly exchanging fire with the dozens of warships that surrounded them.

Fifty super-large warships of the Buster Order level, each a fortress-level weapon of mass destruction, fired simultaneously, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse. Countless meteor-like shells rained down from all directions, blasting the sea into towering waves.

Every now and then, a pirate ship that couldn't escape was torn to shreds by the raging cannon fire, turning into burning wreckage that sank to the bottom of the sea.

If these large warships weren't so heavy, making them slightly slower and less agile than the Beast Pirates' ships, these dozen or so vessels would probably have been swallowed up by endless cannon fire long ago.

On the rocking Qinglong, Quinn gritted his teeth, watching a warship rushing towards them at top speed, its direction unchanged, seemingly intent on ramming them. A look of frustrated anger appeared on his large, fat face.

With a twist of his neck, he grew taller and taller, transforming from a round human body into a giant, muscular, brownish-yellow Brachiosaurus, and then quickly into a mechanical Brachiosaurus constructed from countless mechanical structures.

The mechanical brachiosaurus opened its mouth wide, and a dazzling golden light shone from within, continuously gathering energy as it aimed at the charging warship.

"Chavez! Activate the shield! I've had enough of these damn marines! Do they really think the Beast Pirates are cowards? When have we ever been insulted like this? Run? Run my ass! I'm not running anymore! I'm going to kill them, kill these arrogant and conceited marine bastards!"

The mechanical brachiosaurus roared, its mouth emitting an extremely bright laser beam, ready to fire at the oncoming warship.

However, the elastic cover that enveloped the entire Azure Dragon, like a soap bubble, showed no sign of opening. Quinn had to swallow the laser he had been preparing for over ten seconds, nearly having his head blown off by the raging energy in his mouth, which infuriated him.

He transformed back into human form, rushed up to Chavez who was at the helm, grabbed his clothes, and roared, "You bastard! What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to open the levitation shield? I'm going to kill these damn navy bastards!"

Chavez's face was expressionless, and his voice was flat: "If the shields are opened, this ship will be instantly destroyed by the navy's gunfire."

"So what if it gets destroyed! What's the big deal? If we just stand here taking hits without fighting back, we're going to die sooner or later anyway. Open the shield, and I can take a few warships down with me!" Quinn roared.

Chavez looked out of the ship, unmoved by his shouting: "No, my stun shield is absorbing their attack energy. Once Jhin and Katakuri have retreated, I will release this energy and escape."

"You coward! You wimp! You piece of trash! Get out of the Beasts Pirates!"

Quinn, who was about to become withdrawn from the beating, was so frustrated that he exploded and spat at the stubborn Chavez.

Suddenly, a towering figure, over ten meters tall, appeared on the warship that was charging straight towards them. He gripped a thick iron chain hanging below the surface of the sea, let out a roar that overwhelmed the surrounding cannon fire, and with a burst of strength, pulled a huge black shadow out of the sea to Quinn's horrified gaze. He taut the iron chain in his hand and swung it toward their ship.

It was a huge iron ball, tens of meters in diameter, and its weight was unknown.

The giant simply pulled him out from under the sea, causing the super-large warship he was standing on to sink more than ten meters.

The sea suddenly exploded, waves poured down like a torrential downpour, and a huge iron ball fell like a meteorite, almost half the size of the Azure Dragon.

If it were hit, let alone a wooden boat, even a steel mountain would be deformed and twisted.

Quinn was terrified, his small eyes wide open, sweat pouring from his forehead as he screamed, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! You're going to get hit!"

The two sides were too close, and the giant suddenly attacked, making it difficult for them to dodge.

However, Chavez, who was at the helm, remained completely calm in the face of the massive iron ball hurtling towards him.

He glanced at the hurtling iron ball, then focused his attention on the giant standing at the bow of the warship, as if he were far more interested in the giant than in the iron ball that was about to destroy their ship.

"No one can break my elastic shield with a physical attack, not even Kaido. His attacks only charge my elastic shield, making the rebound even stronger."

Just as Chavez finished speaking, the huge iron ball that Palmer threw hit the elastic shield encasing the Azure Dragon. Its enormous size made Quinn shrink back in fright.

However, just as Chavez had predicted, the Azure Dragon, which was hit by the giant iron ball, was completely unharmed. It was simply bounced and drifted horizontally across the sea for several hundred meters, creating towering waves.

The ship, encased in a spherical elastic shield, resembled a model solidified in the center of a transparent sphere by spherical gel. Under the bombardment of various cannons and lasers, it swayed and bounced from side to side, but never broke through.

At the bow of the Thunder Dragon Fleet's flagship, Palmer gripped the chain with the large iron ball attached to it, frowning as he watched this scene.

"A Devil Fruit ability? It's a bit like that ogre Barrier-Barrier Fruit. If this can't be broken..." He turned and roared at the soldiers on the deck behind him, "Have them fire Seastone cannonballs at that ship!"

"Yes, sir!" Brigadier General Oimo accepted the order and left.

The large iron ball in Palmer's hand was taken from Garp's dog-headed warship.

Although this thing isn't solid, it still weighs tens of thousands of tons. On Garp's dog-headed warship, it was used as a counterweight for the anchor. It's a mystery how Garp, without the Power-Power Fruit, managed to swing it around.

Garp once said that Rorschach was too aggressive for throwing warships at people, but when he himself threw a giant iron ball weighing tens of thousands of tons at pirates, he threw one ship at a time without making a sound.

When Palmer missed his first strike, he flicked his wrist as if he were lifting a bean sprout, and swung the massive iron ball weighing tens of thousands of tons into the air, as if he were wielding a meteor hammer, and flung it horizontally.

The hundreds-of-meters-long iron chain, with the iron ball attached, rattled in his hands as he smashed it into a pirate ship nearby.

The pirates, who were frantically loading cannonballs and adjusting the ship's direction, did not have Chavez's Bump-Bump Fruit ability. Faced with this iron ball that was half the size of their ship, they could only be hit by the iron ball in a state of terror and despair.

As the giant iron ball passed, the pirate ship's hull shattered, the mast exploded, and the pirates on the deck were crushed into mincemeat. The entire ship was instantly smashed to pieces and sank to the depths of the sea, leaving behind some broken pieces of wood and a patch of blood.

On the Azure Dragon, Quinn watched helplessly as all this unfolded, powerless to stop it.

Their support mission this time can be considered a complete failure.

Kaido will definitely curse them to death.

Suddenly, a dark shadow shot out at lightning speed from the distant sky and landed with a thud on the elastic shield outside the Azure Dragon.

Quinn looked closely and saw Jhin covered in wounds, and was both surprised and delighted.

What's shocking is the severity of Jin's injuries; they look really bad.

The good news is that Jhin was able to escape from Soft Island.

"Jhin! Where's Katakuri?" Quinn shouted, gesturing for Chavez to open the shield and let Jhin in.

"He stayed... Don't worry about him! Let's go! Get out of here!" Jin coughed up another mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with reluctance, frustration, anger, and pain.

"What? That guy..." Quinn, who knew Jhin well, saw the pain on his face and roughly understood what had happened on the island and why Katakuri hadn't come out.

His anger and resentment grew, and he couldn't help but glare at Chavez, yelling, "Damn it! Why aren't you releasing the stun shield and letting Jhin in? Are you trying to kill him?"

Chavez ignored him, glanced at Jhin who was stuck to the outside of the elastic shield, and shouted: "Steady your stance, Jhin! I'm going to release those absorbed attacks as elasticity."

Although he didn't understand the specific meaning of Chavez's words, Jhin clung tightly to the surface of the spherical shield, trying his best to keep his body steady amidst the overwhelming barrage of fire.

Chavez took a deep breath, glanced at the warship where Palmer was, and sensed a sense of crisis.

He felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that the navy must have taken countermeasures against his abilities, probably by launching seastone cannonballs or seastone nets at him.

Thinking of this, Chavez did not hesitate, and pushed his hands outwards with great force towards the direction of the Thunder Dragon warship.

"Elasticity unleashed!"

With his movement, the countless cannon fire and laser kinetic energy that had been absorbed by the elastic shield for more than ten minutes were ejected towards the sea surface all at once.

Palmer heard a loud bang right next to his ear.

The next moment, the sea surface within a radius of thousands of meters beneath the Beasts Pirates' flagship, the Azure Dragon, exploded with a deafening roar, sending a massive column of water shooting upwards like a surging ocean current.

The Azure Dragon, encased in the spherical elastic shield, was propelled by an immense recoil force, and with a whoosh, it was ejected from the towering water column and flew away into the distance.

Its speed was so great that the sailors on dozens of surrounding warships could not catch a glimpse of it.

Only Enel, high above 10,000 meters above Soft Island, noticed it and unleashed lightning to chase and bombard the Azure Dragon, which had been thrown far away.

However, the lightning pursuit did not cause any effective damage to the Azure Dragon. Instead, it helped it escape even faster. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the Navy's sight with Queen, King, Chavez, and others on board, and fled at high speed towards the territory of the Beast Pirates.

Some warships wanted to turn around and give chase, but were stopped by Palmer.

"The Admiral said that the objective this time is only to target the Devil Pirates and the Ward Pirates. The attack on the Beast Pirates is just a side effect; there's no need to penetrate deep into the Beast Pirates' territory! Annihilate these pirates, and then continue bombarding Soft Island!"

Chapter 752 Big Brother, Save Me

The eastern coast of Songruan Island.

"Demon offspring! You took the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, didn't you? Hand it over obediently, or else..."

Wildwood emerged from the endless battle of driftwood, leaped onto the shore, and stood before Barrett.

Barrett smirked: "What else?"

"Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of hurt. I'll capture you and put you back in Impel Down. To prevent you from escaping again, this time I'll drain your life force so you can experience the pain of losing your power!"

Huang Mu stretched out his right hand, and his five fingers quickly extended, transforming into five green vines that coiled and twisted like pythons, stabbing towards Barrett in front of him.

“Really?” Barrett cracked his thick neck, then grinned. “I’ll have to experience that for myself.”

"boom!"

The ground shook violently as Barrett's massive body slammed into the earth, crashing into the five thorny vines that Wild Shepherd had shot at him like a cannonball.

He stretched out his large hand and grabbed a vine with a needle-like tip, hollow inside, and with flowing high-level Armament Haki wrapped around its surface.

The air was compressed and escaped under his grasp, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

With a snap, Barrett grabbed one of Huang Mu's fingers, which had transformed into a vine, and pulled it with force.

The long vines snapped straight instantly, pulling Huang Mu up from the ground and sending him flying toward Barrett.

At the same time, four other sharp-tipped, hollow vines nimbly stabbed at Barrett from all directions, striking him hard.

Seeing Barrett's body pierced by his own vines, Aramu's face lit up with joy.

"Your life force is now mine! Queen of the Devil..."

Before he could finish speaking, the air in front of him exploded with a roar, and a fist the size of a sandbag appeared to grow infinitely larger in his field of vision.

"What?" Aramaki was shocked. In his haste to raise his arm to block, his forearm was hit by Barrett's right fist. The Armament Haki armor covering his arm rippled and then caved in until it shattered right before his eyes.

With a loud thud, Barrett's fist slammed into Huang Mu's chest, the immense force traveling up his arm and into his body. Huang Mu tasted something sweet in his mouth, and blood spurted from between his teeth. He was sent flying backward, crashing diagonally onto the beach and kicking up countless grains of sand.

Amidst the rising dust, Huang Mu, his mouth stained with blood, crawled out of the sandpit and looked at Barrett in astonishment. He saw Barrett exuding a beastly aura, completely ignoring the vines that were fiercely stabbing and piercing his body, letting the sharp thorns penetrate his massive frame.

The vines pierced Barrett's skin, but were gripped by his steel-like tendons, like four venomous snakes whose heads were being held by a hunter. They could neither advance nor retreat, and could only cling to Barrett and writhe.

Barrett grabbed the vines that were tied to his body and casually tore them off. He glanced at them, then pulled and tugged them with both hands. The vines that had been extended from Huang Mu's fingers snapped and fell to the ground as ordinary wooden blocks.

Barrett strode over, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, his voice booming like thunder.

"Come on! Didn't you say you were going to drain my life force? Come on! Let me experience the pain you were talking about!"

He leaped high into the air, swung his massive right fist, and slammed it down again.

Huang Mu's face twitched as he looked at the black and red lightning and dark blue armor that shot out from Barrett's fist.

He suddenly realized that he might have underestimated this newly crowned emperor.

However, Huang Mu had no intention of backing down before the fight even started.

After all, he's not the only one on this island now.

Even if this devilish descendant is powerful, how could he possibly defeat him, Rorschach, and Kizaru working together?

"Then so be it! Forbidden and stern!"

Aramaki unleashed his full power with his Logia-type Forest-Forest Fruit ability. Instantly, the ground beneath him churned up, the sand bulged, and tender plant roots emerged from them. They then swelled in the wind, becoming incredibly thick, like giant pythons, coiling around Barrett as he charged forward.
