One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Let's beat those thugs to a pulp now!

That was a punishment born of love.

I can't sleep at night.

Unable to eat or sleep properly…

The girl's singing voice seemed to possess some indescribable magic, drawing people in and allowing them to experience firsthand the complex and unbearable pain in the girl's heart.

She wanted to break free from the shackles of the past, yet she lingered on the feelings she cherished in her heart.

But in the end, all this reluctance will turn into flames of resentment, burning themselves, the world, and everything to ashes.

The disgusting humanoid creature listened quietly, the pus flowing from its body slowly receding with the song, gradually returning to its skin covered in countless scars.

He seemed drawn to the girl singing so passionately, and slowly took a step closer.

The girl had her back to him, singing with complete absorption, oblivious to the monster approaching behind her.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from afar.

"Uta! Get out of there!"

The loud shout interrupted the girl's singing, causing her to look up in surprise. She saw a thin old man with patches on his forehead running towards her in a look of shock and anger, drawing a flintlock pistol and a long sword from his waist.

"Gordon, what's wrong?"

The girl named Uta wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at the old man who had run over, puzzled.

Noticing the old man's gaze directed behind her, she couldn't help but turn around and take a look.

Uta's pupils dilated as he saw a giant-like monster, its body covered in a large amount of disgusting pus, standing behind him with two grotesque faces joined together, looking down at him.

As her singing stopped, the pus flowing from the giant monster's body began to increase again, dripping onto his feet from time to time.

"Continue." The face in the middle of the monster's face opened its mouth and uttered two words.

“Continue…what?” Uta’s face turned deathly pale. She wasn’t frightened by the appearance of the monster in front of her, but by the terrifying aura emanating from it, which oppressed her mind.

This feeling is like a little white rabbit facing a top predator, feeling fear from the bottom of its heart.

"Sing." The monster's body was covered in more pus, and it seemed to be collapsing. The two faces on its face were shifting, and its aura became even more terrifying.

Gordon, who was rushing anxiously behind Uta, was forced to his knees with a thud by the terrifying aura before he could even reach Uta. His aged body made a creaking sound as if it would be crushed by the aura at any moment.

Hearing the noise behind him, Uta quickly turned around and saw Gordon lying on the ground in pain. She couldn't help but cry out, "Gordon!"

"Sing!"

Behind them, the strange man opened his mouth and let out a non-human roar.

In an instant, the entire island began to rumble and tremble, and countless tiny cracks spread across the sky above the island, as if to tear it apart.

Uta trembled as she looked at Gordon's pained expression, bit her lip, and began to hum a tune.

However, the song she sang was different from the one before. The melody sounded desolate and ancient, like a devout believer praying to a great god.

Gordon, who was pinned to the ground by the strange man's aura and unable to get up, showed anxiety on his aged face when he heard Uta's singing.

"Uta! Stop! You can't sing this song! Stop!"

Uta clenched her fists, didn't respond, and continued humming, increasing the volume and speed.

But the strange man behind her didn't seem to care what song she was singing.

He seemed to really enjoy music. After listening to Uta's singing, the strange changes in the monster slowed down and gradually returned to normal, revealing his normal skin color and body.

Uta continued singing, and time passed slowly. On the desolate, dilapidated island, the light gradually dimmed, as if some evil, cold gaze was being cast from an unseen place, landing on Uta, on Gordon, and on... the strange man.

"Huh? What are you?"

A deep voice came from behind Uta, making her petite body tremble.

Gordon, who was lying on the ground, struggled to lift his head. When he saw the strange man standing behind Uta again, his eyes widened instantly.

"Devil's offspring, Douglas Barrett!"

Chapter 765 Green Blood, Vegapunk's Experiment

In the blink of an eye, half a month later, at Egg Point Island.

"Quickly open the protective shield! It's the Wind and Thunder Kirin! Go and notify Dr. Vegapunk and Admiral Kizaru, Admiral Blue Kirin has arrived!"

From afar, Luo Xia and the others on the Qilin heard shouts coming from the port of Egg Tip Island.

Lark shaded his eyes with his hand to block out the scorching sun overhead, and looked up at the oval-shaped light screen that resembled a giant floating egg, his face full of amazement.

"This isn't my first time visiting Egg Point Island, but every time I come, I'm still amazed by this high-tech island full of futuristic vibes. It's such a beautiful and magical place. Tashigi, what are you doing? Come and see, we've arrived at Egg Point Island."

She turned to look at Tashigi standing behind her, only to find that the girl with thick red-rimmed glasses also had the same amazement in her eyes.

However, Tashigi's gaze was not fixed on the island ahead, but rather on a long sword she held in her hand as if it were a priceless treasure.

"Wow, it really is the Second Generation Kitetsu! Am I seeing things? This is one of the twenty-one Supreme Grade Swords, a world-famous sword, and even among the twenty-one Great Grade Swords, it's a renowned cursed sword ranked among the top. The Kitetsu series is known worldwide for its eerie and evil nature, and for its ability to subdue its master. The First Generation Kitetsu is a Supreme Grade Sword, the Second Generation Kitetsu is a Great Grade Sword, and the Third Generation is a Fine Grade Sword. Each one is a peerless sword that every swordsman dreams of."

Tashigi exclaimed in amazement, then looked up and skipped happily to Rorschach, looking up at him with admiration and asking, "General Rorschach, where did you get this sword?"

Rorschach turned around and saw two bouncy balls tracing amazing arcs crashing towards him, drawing his gaze like a magnet.

Luo Xia felt a heat in his nose and quickly turned his head, only to see the lark with its little mouth pouting, looking at him with a resentful expression.

"Ahem." Rorschach coughed, his old face flushed, and he put on a general's demeanor, turning back to look at the snow-white, round Second Generation Kitetsu in Tashigi's hand. "I took this sword from King. I estimate it was in Wano Country before."

"Wano Country?" Tashigi suddenly realized. "Indeed, legend has it that the three cursed swords, Kitetsu, all originated from Wano Country. That self-isolated samurai nation has world-renowned swordsmiths, and many of the world's famous swords were made by Wano's swordsmiths. Swords like Shusui, Ame no Habakiri, and Enma are all very famous. I really want to go there if I have the chance."

“There will be an opportunity. Don’t you like collecting famous swords? I’ll get you all those famous swords you’ve been talking about, like the Ame no Habakiri and the Enma sword.”

"Really?" Tashigi's face lit up with surprise.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to anyone?"

Rorschach smiled and patted Tashigi's head.

Tashigi blushed, grabbed the Second Generation Kitetsu, and ran away.

"What a womanizer," came Hibari's mutterings from behind.

"Who are you talking about? You're like a cat on the roof if you're not disciplined for three days. Looks like I'll have to punish you properly tonight. You dare to talk bad about me to my face."

Rorschach reached out and pinched Lark's pouty cheeks.

"Punishment...? I...I don't want it." Yun Que's eyes widened, and her face instantly turned bright red, as if she had just thought of something.

"Wow! What a huge sea monster! And it's a modified mechanical sea monster, it's so cool, I really want one. It would be so awesome to have one as a pet."

Bepo leaned over the gunwale, peering out at the sea and exclaiming in amazement.

Luo Xia turned his head and saw strange mechanical sea monsters on the sea outside Egg Tip Island, their eyes, like searchlights, scanning the ocean. Apart from their bodies being made up of countless steel structures, they moved in the sea just like normal sea kings.

Compared to normal sea kings, these mechanical sea monsters, with their eyes flashing red or gold and their bodies covered in countless steel scales, look much more ferocious and domineering.

Not to mention Bepo, even Rorschach himself was very tempted.

When he came here last time, he took a liking to these man-made war weapons and wanted to order a batch from Egg Point Island to place in the waters off G5 to protect the island's security.

Unfortunately, each of these mechanical sea monsters requires a great deal of time and effort to manufacture, and now that Vegapunk is getting old, he rarely supervises the manufacture of these things anymore.

What Rorschach and his companions saw before them were merely Vegapunk's casual creations from his youth.

It is said that there is another group in Vegapunk's hometown of Eskimo, but the modified animals there are land beasts, while here they are sea creatures.

Rorschach came without making a big fuss, only bringing Hibari, Tashigi, and Bepo.

He was summoned by Lilith to witness the birth of the strongest human.

Rorschach, of course, knew what Lilith meant by the strongest human.

He was very interested in this, so as soon as Lilith mentioned it, he rushed over on the Kirin.

The port's energy shield was quickly opened from the inside, and Rorschach and Hibari saw an old acquaintance, the chubby Sentaomaru, who appeared at the port to greet them.

Upon seeing Rorschach, Sentomaru's eyes darted away almost imperceptibly. With an exaggerated, bright smile on his round, chubby face, he called out from afar, "Rorschach, Hibari, you're here! Come with me, Grandpa and the Doctor are already waiting for you."

Luo Xia and his companions jumped off the ship and landed on Egg Point Island amidst the admiring gazes of the surrounding marines.

"Senmoumaru, I have a feeling you're hiding something from me, kid?" Luo Xia walked up to Senmoumaru and put his arm around his shoulder.

Sentomaru shuddered and chuckled dryly, "What? What could I possibly be hiding from you? You know I never lie."

“That makes sense, um... could it be my imagination?” Luo Xia scratched his head, not pressing the matter further.

Led by Sentomaru, the group traversed the futuristic town of Egg Point Island and arrived at the slide leading to the upper level of Punk Records. They then took the slide to Punk Records.

When everyone arrived at the hall, Rorschach saw Kizaru, Vegapunk, and five other clones of Vegapunk, including Lilith.

But Yorke wasn't there.

Seemingly noticing Rorschach's sweeping gaze, Lilith swayed her hips as she stepped forward, smiling coquettishly, "Don't bother looking anymore, York went to the Holy Land."

"They went to the Holy Land?" Rorschach's eyes flickered slightly.

"Hmm, it seems there's a problem with the energy shield of the Holy Land's elevator. York was in charge of installing it, and the Five Elders had CP0 take him over to repair it. Anyway, never mind her, come with me, I'll show you something else."

As Lilith spoke, she grabbed Rorschach's arm and tried to leave.

Rorschach was stunned, looking at Vegapunk and Kizaru. "Wasn't I here to witness the birth of the strongest human? Where are we going?"

His Observation Haki had already allowed him to sense several powerful auras fluctuating in a certain room of the laboratory.

That was clearly the purpose of his visit.

"What's your hurry?" Lilith rolled her eyes.

Rorschach couldn't dissuade her, so he had no choice but to follow Lilith into a small laboratory.

Kizaru and Vegapunk followed them in.

As soon as he entered, Luo Xia was drawn to several fully sealed glass enclosures and went over to them.

"This is……"

He looked at the thing covered in the glass container in front of him.

Inside were charred fragments, soil stained with dark red blood, small pieces of human tissue, and a human stick with no limbs and tubes inserted all over its body.

He knows these things.
