One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

The spot where he stood instantly transformed into a lush primeval forest, with countless towering trees rising from the ground. Even on the beach and in the sea, countless giant trees grew.

The wild shepherd, immersed in the scene, seemed to become a child of nature, manipulating the trees, vines, and aerial roots to frantically strangle Barrett.

Barrett crashed down from the sky like a meteorite, and with a single punch, countless aerial roots of trees in front of him shattered, reduced to splinters by the terrifying power emanating from his fist.

The moment its feet touched the ground, it cleared a large area in the primeval forest created by Huang Mu, blasting apart giant trees and countless entangled roots.

He kept swinging his fists, not deliberately trying to unleash any powerful moves, but simply using his physical strength and domineering aura to smash and shatter all the trees that stood in his way, creating a path of flying debris through the lush forest, heading straight for the desolate pasture.

Huang Mu didn't expect these aerial trees to threaten Barrett, who was at the same level as him. His body rapidly expanded and grew taller, and in the blink of an eye, he became a tree-man more than ten meters tall with bulging muscles. He clenched his huge, black fist and smashed it at Barrett, who was rushing towards him, like swinging a hammer.

Facing a giant tree-man several times his own height, Barrett fearlessly unleashed a punch.

"Barrett heavy artillery!"

"Boom!"

A violent burst of lightning erupted from his fist, causing the air in front of him to cave in and distort, transforming into a rolling shockwave that slammed into the black giant fist that Huang Mu had brought down.

Two immense forces collided in mid-air, and after a brief stalemate, the giant tree fist that Huang Mu had smashed down shattered with a deafening roar. Barrett leaped high from the ground, charged forward, and, under Huang Mu's furious gaze, punched him in the chest.

"Oh!"

The tree-man, more than ten meters tall, arched backward, its roots firmly planted in the ground. Its legs, which had transformed into countless roots, were lifted up by tremendous force and pulled out of the soil.

Huang Mu gritted his teeth, blood spurting from his mouth, and grabbed at Barrett in mid-air.

"Nature's Wrath!"

"Splash!"

The ground within a radius of several hundred meters exploded, from which countless tough and enormous air roots emerged, like the tentacles of an octopus, lashing out at Barrett and slamming him down from the air.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Countless tentacles followed closely behind, lashing out at Barrett as he fell to the ground.

At the same time, countless plant roots sprouted from the ground, wrapping around Barrett's limbs, waist, and neck, binding him tightly like a giant rice dumpling, with only his head showing.

Barrett struggled and twisted, but there were simply too many plant roots binding him, layer upon layer, engulfing him completely and making it impossible for him to break free for a time.

Upon seeing this, Huang Mu was overjoyed and hurriedly ran back. He stretched out his right hand again, which transformed into five sharp vine roots that whistled and pierced towards Barrett's exposed eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

He believed that no matter how strong Barrett's physique was, with muscles as hard as steel that could block his vine spikes, his fragile facial features would definitely not be able to withstand the thrusts wrapped in high-level Armament Haki.

However, as the five vine spikes pierced down, a deep blue, domineering aura emerged from Barrett's head, which was bound by the ropes. It was as if a flowing, heavy armor had been put on him, blocking all the spikes aimed at his face and preventing them from advancing an inch.

Unconvinced, Huang Mu strode over, striding onto the heavily bound Barrett, raised his massive fist, and slammed it into Barrett's face.

"boom!"

The ground beneath them trembled as Barrett's head was slammed into the ground by Aramaki's punch, sending a shockwave rippled outwards.

Aramu raised his fist and looked down, only to see Barrett still grinning, as if giving him a mocking smile.

“Put some effort into it, I can manage,” Barrett grinned.

"Damn it! How dare you look down on me?"

Seeing the undisguised mockery in Barrett's eyes, Huang Mu was enraged. His massive tree-man body, which was over ten meters tall, swelled up again. At the same time, countless black tree tumors emerged from his body, piling up densely and pressing against his body surface, turning him into a ferocious tree-man tens of meters tall, completely black, and covered with countless tree tumors.

"Hate the Tree People!"

Wildwood roared, its right arm, tens of meters long, spiraled and twisted into a huge, constantly compressed spring, sharply wrapped with high-level Armament Haki, and shot out towards Barrett's face.

"Buzz!"

A cone-shaped shockwave exploded above Barrett's head, and the jet-black spike that transformed from Huang Mu's right arm pierced down like a rainbow piercing the sun, as if to pierce through Barrett's head and the island beneath him.

"Hehe, this kind of attack is a little more decent. The previous ones were just tickling and playing around."

Barrett stared at the black spikes piercing towards him, and suddenly pushed his bound arms outwards. The deep blue armor within his body surged outwards like a tsunami, while an invisible force acted on the countless vines and roots binding his body.

The next moment, Huang Mu was shocked to find that the tree roots and vines he had created had lost contact with him and, under the influence of the invisible power released by Barrett, had turned into countless crystal-like cubes that detached from his body and surged into a large purple-blue hand, palm up, which grabbed the spikes that were piercing down from above.

"puff!"

With a crisp sound, the purple-blue hand formed by the vines was pierced through Huang Mu's right arm, its tip stopping just before it touched Barrett's eyes.

Wild Sheep roared, unleashing tremendous force, attempting to crush his right arm and pierce Barrett's eye socket.

But the sky above suddenly darkened. When Huang Mu looked up, he saw a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky rise from the ground of Soft Island, grabbing his tree-man body, which was tens of meters tall, and squeezing it like a chick, causing the tree-man body to pop and crack.

This massive hand, covered in endless deep blue domineering energy, squeezed Huang Mu's body, causing his bones to crack and pop. He screamed as he broke free from the tree spirit and tried to escape.

Barrett got up from the ground, looked at Huang Mu who was struggling to break free from between his fingers, and sprang up with a bang. In Huang Mu's panicked gaze, he punched him in the face.

With a muffled thud, Huang Mu's nose collapsed from the punch, and he fell from the air covered in blood.

Seeing Barrett closing in with a fierce aura, Huang Mu panicked and couldn't help but shout, "Brother Lan Lin, save me!"

Chapter 753 Thunderstorm

In the center of the island, Rorschach, who had just killed Katakuri, turned around and looked around.

His incredibly powerful Observation Haki spread across the entire island, finding all the pirates who were still struggling under the Navy's bombardment.

After being bombarded by fifty super-large warships and two hundred Pacifistas, forty-seven pirates were still alive.

These pirates were all covered in jet-black Armament Haki, and their bodies were extremely strong. Some even possessed Devil Fruit abilities, which allowed them to survive such intense firepower.

These prisoners who escaped from Infinite Hell with Barrett were indeed all powerful individuals.

If it weren't for the immense power of Barrett and Ryder, which drew these people to their side, the New World, and indeed the entire world, would be in utter chaos because of them.

Although hundreds of people have already scattered to all parts of the world, being able to kill hundreds of Infinite Hell prisoners who joined the Devil Pirates and Ward Pirates here is a great thing for this world.

Killing these guys might make Magellan feel a little better about his guilt.

Luo Xia's eyes turned cold, and the crimson thunderclouds swirling around his tall body suddenly expanded, swelling into a huge, surging crimson cloud above his head.

This bizarre, blood-red cloud, resembling a viscous mass of blood, seemed to possess a magnetic attraction that drew in lightning. As soon as it appeared, it continuously drew strands of lightning power from Luo Xia's body and merged into it.

Not only that, even Enel, who was thousands of meters in the sky, was locked onto by this force of attraction and fell involuntarily toward the island, seemingly about to turn into lightning and be sucked into the blood-red thunderclouds. Enel had no choice but to dodge and run to a more distant part of the sky.

It wasn't until it had flown for dozens of kilometers that it finally broke free from the pull of that blood-red thundercloud and returned to normal.

This strange control made Enel, who had flown to the horizon, feel somewhat uneasy.

Even though he is the one who controls lightning, why do I, as the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, feel the absurd sensation of having my life controlled by Rorschach?

On Soft Island, as the lightning power within Rorschach continued to surge and merge, the crimson cloud above grew larger and larger, drawing down strands of the natural lightning that Enel had gathered ten thousand meters above the ground.

In an instant, thick bolts of lightning crashed down, striking Luo Xia's head and making him appear as if he were undergoing a lightning tribulation.

The crimson thunderclouds overhead looked like calamity clouds threatening to annihilate him, and the energy fluctuations they emitted grew increasingly terrifying, causing tens of thousands of naval personnel on the sea outside the island to feel panic and unease.

The crimson thundercloud attracted and gathered lightning very quickly. In just over ten seconds, the giant ball of lightning that Enel had spent more than ten minutes gathering completely disappeared and merged into the thundercloud, causing the crimson thundercloud to expand to a diameter of 100 meters, like a crimson sun suspended above Rorschach's head.

Luo Xia seemed to have thought of something, a smirk appeared on his lips, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, and suddenly pointed a finger to the sky.

"Expand the domain, execute justice!"

As he raised his finger, the crimson lightning ball hovering above his head seemed to receive a command, suddenly expanding, expanding infinitely, and in an instant, it transformed the massive amount of lightning it absorbed into a thunderstorm full of destructive power, like a raging ball of domineering light, instantly sweeping across the entire Soft Island.

At that moment, Rorschach seemed to transform into Doomsday Superman, unleashing a terrifying storm of thunder centered on him, impacting everyone on the island.

The thunder and storm affected even Kizaru, who was fighting Ryder, and Aramaki, who was being brutally beaten by Barrett. They had to temporarily stop and focus on resisting the unsettlingly powerful energy impact.

The forty-seven surviving prisoners of Infinite Hell on the island fared even worse. The moment they were swept up by the blood-red thunderstorm, they groaned and screamed in agony, their Armament Haki being rapidly depleted at an alarming rate.

Amidst the dark, stormy thunderclouds, their Armament Haki was completely depleted in less than three seconds.

Then, the spreading thunderstorm suddenly receded again, leaving behind crackling arcs of electricity in the sky and on the ground, continuously flowing into Rorschach's head and once again gathering into a winding, drifting ribbon of thunderclouds.

Along with the lightning, the bioelectricity emanating from the forty-seven pirates also receded.

Without the protection of Armament Haki, these prisoners who escaped from the Infinite Hell felt their bodies grow sluggish, their thoughts become stagnant, their vision blur, and their bodies grow cold, as if their life force had been drained away.

"Oh!"

A prisoner whose strength was no less than that of a vice admiral in the Navy Headquarters suddenly had empty eyes, fell headfirst to the ground, and remained motionless, as if he had suddenly died.

"Brother! What's wrong?"

The prisoner next to him was shocked and quickly squatted down to check on him. He found that the man was not dead. He was still breathing through his mouth and nose and his heart was beating. However, his eyes were empty and his face was blank. No matter how much he was shaken, the prisoner seemed not to feel anything and did not speak. He was like a vegetable.

"What happened? How did it all happen so suddenly..."

The prisoner, who had squatted down, was filled with doubt and was about to say something when he heard a series of muffled thuds.

He turned around in astonishment and saw the prisoners who had gathered behind him to block the naval bombardment falling one after another like felled trees, crashing straight to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

"you……"

The prisoner rose in horror, about to run over to investigate, but as he took a step, his body suddenly froze, his eyes slowly became dull and lifeless, and then the world spun around him as he collapsed to the ground.

In just over ten seconds, all forty-seven Infinite Hell prisoners, whose strength was above that of a Major General in the headquarters, collapsed to the ground, lost consciousness, and became like zombies in a vegetative state.

No.

They're not even zombies.

They weren't dead; their hearts were still beating, and their bodies were still functioning, but Rorschach had stripped their brains of their bioelectricity.

Without bioelectricity, there are no brainwaves to control nerves and muscles, and the person becomes a vegetative state, commonly known as brain death.

This is a new ability that Rorschach developed after his trip to the Holy Land.

Bioelectricity control.

Since he developed the Kirin Fruit to the point of awakening, he discovered that his ability to develop the intensity of electric current had reached a limit.

That is, two billion volts.

With the enhancement of the Heavenly Dragon Halberd, the current intensity of 2 billion volts will increase to 2.4 billion volts.

This level of lightning intensity is absolutely terrifying, comparable to an apocalyptic natural disaster.

But that's not enough for Rorschach to casually annihilate the top combat power on the high seas.

Luo Xia didn't know if it was because of factors like domineering aura and physical strength that reduced the electrical conductivity of top-tier experts' bodies, which meant increasing resistance, or some other reason.

In short, theoretically, ultra-high voltage currents exceeding two billion volts are beyond the resistance of any carbon-based organism.

But it just doesn't work that it can electrocute someone of the level of Barrett or Kaido in a short time.
