One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Oh ho ho ho, oh ho ho ho ho, you little brat, you really dare to talk like that. If you've got the guts, come and take it!"

"No thanks, I've had enough for today, maybe next time."

"What did you say? You arrogant brat, you have no say in this!"

Rorschach's answer enraged Kaido, whose fighting spirit was now surging.

The next instant, two storm-like bursts of Conqueror's Haki erupted almost simultaneously from Rorschach and Kaido's massive bodies, sweeping across the sky, causing the clouds to churn, cracking the hull of the Redford floating in the sky, and causing some of the smaller pirates on Shanks' ship to foam at the mouth and fall to the ground.

Bucky, hiding behind Shanks, groaned as if he'd been hit on the head with a hammer. Two streams of blood gushed from his red nostrils, and he crashed onto the deck with a thud, startling Yasopp. He and Dego rushed over to check on him.

Shanks, standing at the bow of the ship, darkened his expression. Suddenly, a terrifying aura, like a hurricane, erupted from his not-so-tall body, transforming into a solid black and red ball of light that expanded and blasted towards the two balls of Conqueror's Haki colliding in the sky.

The Conqueror's Haki he unleashed was in no way inferior to that of the monstrous Kaido and Rorschach; it was like the might of heaven.

"Boom!"

Three clusters of overwhelmingly colored energy, resembling phantom planets, clashed in the sky, exploding into countless thunderbolts and lightning.

Shanks looked at Rorschach with icy eyes, one hand gripping the hilt of Griffin's longsword. "Bluescale! What do you mean?"

"Huh? Are you talking to me?"

Rorschach flicked his wrist, knocking Kaido, who was struggling with him, away, and turned to look at Shanks.

A lazy yet cold gaze emanated from his deep blue vertical pupils. Anyone who met his eyes felt a chill run down their spine, their gaze instinctively shifting away, unable to meet Luo Xia's direct eye contact.

Vista, who harbors an intense hatred for Rorschach, is no exception.

Realizing that he was actually afraid of Rorschach in front of him, Vista gritted his teeth and gripped the twin swords tightly in his hands.

“Calm down, Vista.” Marco reached out and pressed his shoulder.

"Bucky didn't do anything to you, so why are you targeting him?" Shanks exuded a terrifying aura, locking onto Rorschach across the sky, hundreds of meters away.

It seemed as if he would draw his sword and slash at Rorschach at the slightest provocation.

However, Rorschach didn't care at all.

His icy gaze fell on Bucky, who was rolling his eyes. "Do I need a reason to lay a hand on an escaped convict who has committed a death sentence?"

Shanks scoffed: "Death penalty? Hmph, I suppose you see all the pirates in the world as facing the death penalty?"

"No, no, no, I'm not as extreme as you think." Rorschach dodged Kaido, who was sticking to him like glue, and came to the Redford.

This sudden action immediately put everyone on the ship on high alert, and they all turned their weapons toward Rorschach.

Beckman and Lucky Brut raised their flintlock pistols, Yasopp picked up his sniper rifle, Vista drew his twin swords, Marco and Luffy clenched their fists, and even Issho gripped his cane sword, ready to strike at any moment.

Just from everyone's reaction, it's clear how much they fear Luo Xia now.

Ignoring their wary gazes, Luo Xia shrunk his massive body back to human form. He slowly pressed the change bracelet on his wrist, and soon he was covered in a set of his own special general's uniform.

At this moment, Rorschach and Shanks were less than ten meters apart, facing each other across the gunwale of the Redford.

Rorschach pointed at Bucky behind Shanks and said, "What makes you think that the crimes committed by this red-nosed guy behind you don't warrant the death penalty?"

"Is it because of his inherent comedic talent, or because his pirate crew is full of circus performers, or because... he's your brother?"

Rorschach looked at Luffy, who was glaring angrily at him. "I think Straw Hat Luffy knows better than I what your good brother has done in the East Blue. Not to mention the prison break incident at Impel Down. Even you pirates can't stand how wicked that guy is, and you're asking me why I'm targeting him? Shanks, don't you think your question is ridiculous?"

Shanks remained silent, but Yasopp couldn't hold back any longer. He walked up to Rorschach and angrily said, "Bluescale! What right do you have to talk about Buggy like that? How many people have died at your hands? You keep saying you're not that extreme, so let me ask you, out of the more than 100,000 pirates who died at your hands, wasn't there a single good person among them?"

He gripped the sniper rifle tightly and glared at Rorschach.

"What heinous crime did my son Usopp commit that warrants the death penalty? How dare you take his heart! You little brat cloaked in justice, you are the greatest demon on this sea!"

Rorschach smiled.

He felt it was absurd.

Meeting Yasopp's furious, almost predatory gaze, Rorschach sneered, "Yossopp, I've never seen such a shameless person as you."

"In order to go out to sea and live a carefree life, indulging in pleasure and debauchery, he abandoned his frail wife and young children. Knowing how difficult it is for ordinary people without power to live well in this world, and that the seas are full of pirates who burn, kill, and plunder, he still had the heart to leave Usopp and his widow in the East Blue, and even called it pursuing a man's dream."

"Do you know that while you were enjoying fine wine and strolling through the red-light district in the New World, your wife was seriously ill in the village of Sirob and was on the verge of death?"

"Do you know that while you were happily adventuring at sea, your beloved son became withdrawn and lonely in the village because of your departure, turning into a liar whom everyone in the village hated?"

"Do you know that even when your wife was dying, and when your son was being beaten and isolated, they still didn't resent you, and still thought about you and admired you?"

"And where are you?"

Rorschach glanced at the silent crowd on the ship, pointed at Luffy, and said, "If Straw Hat Luffy hadn't happened to go to your house, your son would be dead, killed by a pirate who was like a father to him."

"Yosbu, is this what you've been expected of as a brave sea warrior? I doubt you've ever thought of going home, visiting your wife's grave to apologize, or seeing your son."

"Yosbumi, I want to ask you something..."

Rorschach's face was full of contempt and disgust.

"Are you even human?"

"You...!" Jesus blushed, his whole body trembled, then his face turned ashen, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, kneeling on the deck.

"Yosbumi!" The Red-Haired Pirates crew members behind him exclaimed and ran over.

"Enough! Lan Lin!"

Shanks' face darkened as he drew his longsword. "If you want to fight, I'll fight you to the bitter end."

"Redhead, you were partly responsible for his wife's death. You took away the pillar of a family."

"Dreams? Freedom? Pshaw, a bunch of trash who can ignore others and their loved ones for their own pleasure. They always like to find high-sounding reasons for their despicable behavior. They can even abandon their own families, yet they spout righteousness and morality, shamelessly claiming they want to save the world. It's fucking disgusting."

Ignoring Shanks' murderous intent, Rorschach shook his head in disappointment and turned to leave.

With Zephyr's intervention, Kaido ultimately failed to achieve his goal of fighting Rorschach.

The Navy's massive war operation ended with the complete annihilation of the Devil Pirates and the high-ranking members of the Ward Pirates.

To everyone's surprise, the newly crowned Yonko's descendant, who had just made a name for himself in the New World, perished just like that.

Although the Navy's battle report stated that Douglas Bullet, the captain of the Devil Pirates and the Devil's heir, did not die directly in the battle, but was seriously injured and his whereabouts were unknown, and the Navy was searching for and pursuing him.

However, apart from the captain, the Devil Pirates, including the legendary Great Pirate Red Count, along with the Great Evil King Avalo Pizarro, the Crescent Moon Hunter Catlin Devon, and the giant warship San Juan Wolf, and over a hundred Impel Down escapees, were completely wiped out.

Moreover, among the great pirates of the New World who were captured and annihilated by the Navy, there was also the World Destroyer Bondiwald and his Ward Pirates.

There are also remnants of the former Big Mom Pirates, including members of the Charlotte Family, led by Charlotte Katakuri.

On the same day the naval operation concluded, Rear Admiral Blanchot, the Navy Headquarters' spokesperson, announced this news to the world via a global live broadcast by Seagull Pictures.

The news of the battle shocked the world.

Rear Admiral Brannew stated that the Navy Headquarters will press its advantage and conduct a large-scale operation over the next three months to wipe out the remaining members of the Devil Pirates and the Ward Pirates. The Navy will show no leniency towards pirates who wreak havoc on the seas and disrupt peace and stability; it is determined to fight them to the very end, all for the sake of justice and peace.

Meanwhile, the New World Navy branch, led by G5, will also dispatch rescue forces to provide assistance to the New World islands affected by the Totland tsunami. It is hoped that the people of the New World will not panic and that everyone will unite to fight against natural disasters and man-made calamities.

The New World, on the edge of an unnamed island.

Suddenly, blood-red ripples spread across the calm sea surface, accompanied by a large number of bubbles, as if the seawater were being boiled.

Suddenly, with a splash, the sea, which was stained red with rings of blood, was torn apart by a huge black shadow that was rising rapidly, splashing up waves everywhere.

With a dull thud, a huge black shadow burst out of the sea, traversed dozens of meters in the air above the shore, and crashed heavily onto the beach.

It was a small sea monster, about forty or fifty meters long, that looked somewhat like a shark with a lion's head.

At this moment, the sea king, the size of a small mountain, was convulsing violently, its massive body slapping the beach beneath it with its broad fins, sweeping up large clumps of sand, as if it were suffering intense pain.

Large amounts of blood flowed from its gaping maw, staining the beach red, and the strong smell of blood wafted in the wind.

The sea king didn't struggle for long before stopping and lying quietly on the beach, as if it were dead.

But the most chilling and bizarre sights occurred on its enormous body.

With a rushing sound like flowing water, the flesh and blood on the forty or fifty-meter-long sea king rapidly melted, turning into purple flesh and blood cubes of the same size, which converged and shrank towards its head.

In just over ten seconds, only a massive skeleton remained on the beach. All the flesh and blood of the sea king had turned into that eerie purple, cube-shaped fluid, merging into the body of a humanoid wax figure that was constantly melting and collapsing, like a figure being melted by flames.

A dozen seconds later, the sea king's enormous, white skeleton disappeared, easily sliced ​​into flowing cubes by an invisible force and absorbed by the six- or seven-meter-tall humanoid wax figure.

The wax figure wriggled and fell to the ground, slowly turning its grotesque head, whose features were obscured.

On his body surface flowed a disgusting, red and yellow pus. The pus dripped onto the beach, then flowed on the ground like worms, returning to the wax figure, only to drip down again, in a never-ending cycle.

Beneath the flowing pus, one could see bright red muscle tissue, stark white bones, and organs covered in mucus.

“Rorschach…Rorschach…Rorschach…”

The head of this extremely disgusting creature, which was extremely shocking to the human senses, was filled with pus and split open to reveal two indistinct human faces. They would occasionally overlap and then separate again, as if they were not fixed to the head of this body, moving around and opening their mouths to emit indistinct roars.

He wandered aimlessly on the beach. A gentle breeze blew across the island, and it seemed as if a faint song was coming from the distant island. This made the disgusting humanoid creature subconsciously take steps and move towards the direction from which the song came.

Step by step, his pace was slow, as if he were crawling on the ground. But his enormous body, six or seven meters tall, allowed him to quickly pass through sparse woods, desolate fields, and a vast expanse of ruins, as well as an abandoned town covered in countless vines.

A dozen minutes later, he stopped, standing blankly next to a charred attic, staring ahead with empty eye sockets from which no eyeballs could be seen.

Not far ahead, under a crooked, withered tree, a girl with long red and white hair wearing headphones was singing a song with a sad and angry melody, filled with questioning and resentment.

Her voice was plaintive, and glistening tears clung to her delicate, beautiful, fair face.

The surroundings were completely silent; even the wind blowing under the trees seemed to have become gentle, as if countless unseen spectators were quietly listening to the girl's song amidst the ruins.

"The unbearable memories in my heart will be pierced by sorrow."

The resentment I can't let go of is all because of that guy.

Only then will it remain in my heart

How could you possibly understand?

The true loneliness of being wounded

Break free from these shackles now.

My anger!
