One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Like other recruits, Rorschach was his idol and the goal that Koby wanted to emulate for the rest of his life, which is why he unconsciously let slip what he was thinking.

At this moment, more than worrying about Rorschach's wrath, Coby was worried that Rorschach would think of him as an arrogant, ignorant, and rude person.

Koby wanted to explain, but he was too nervous to say anything. He could only stand in front of Rorschach, sweating profusely, with anxiety in his eyes.

Sensing Koby's fear, Rorschach moved his hand on Koby's shoulder, channeling a surge of bioelectricity into Koby's body.

Koby, covered in sweat, shuddered as he felt an incredibly warm current surge into his heart, instantly relaxing him and making him feel at ease and comfortable. All his tension and anxiety vanished.

“Huh? General Rorschach…” Coby was stunned, looking up at Rorschach, a feeling of indescribable gratitude welling up in his heart.

Rorschach laughed and said, "Didn't I tell you not to be nervous? I'm not that much older than you, Coby."

In front of the new recruits, he pointed to himself and said, "Don't let my status as an admiral fool you. Actually, I only joined the Navy a few years earlier than you. Strictly speaking, I'm a recruit from the class of 1517, two classes before your instructor Koby, and four classes before you. So, if you'd like, you can call me senior or senpai. We're all the same age, so don't keep calling me 'admiral,' it makes me sound like I'm as old and decrepit as that old geezer Kizaru."

Luo Xia's self-deprecating remark instantly eased the serious atmosphere in the square, eliciting good-natured laughter.

Leo raised his hand and asked loudly, "May I call you Rosarando? Because you saved our Tontatta Kingdom, for us little people, the most respected person is addressed with 'Lando' after their name, meaning that we are as friendly and respectable as Rosarando was four hundred years ago!"

Under the expectant gazes of Leo and Mansherry, Rorschach couldn't help but nod in agreement with a smile.

"Of course you can. You can even call me Brother Rorschach, or Little Brother Rorschach."

Rorschach's words drew another burst of laughter.

Just kidding, who would dare call Luo Xia "little brother"? They'd be asking for trouble.

Even if Rorschach himself doesn't really care, he'll be in big trouble if his admirers hear about it.

Feeling inexplicably at ease because of that warm current, Coby was no longer nervous and saluted Rorschach again, saying, "Please give us some guidance, senior Rorschach! We also want to become strong marines like you! My lifelong dream is..."

Coby took a deep breath, his eyes resolute, and shouted with all his might, "I want to become a Marine Admiral! A Marine Admiral as powerful as Rorschach!"

"Coby!" Helmeppo could hardly believe his eyes when he saw Coby suddenly become so confident, even a little radiant.

He couldn't understand when Koby had become so confident.

He actually dared to reveal his dream in front of General Luo Xia.

Rebecca and the other recruits were also amazed by Koby's bravery, and they all looked at Koby in surprise.

"Do you want to become a marine as strong as me?"

Rorschach grinned, looking at Koby, who seemed to have even changed his inferiority complex after being infected by the bioelectricity he released.

"Yes!" Koby responded loudly, his face flushed.

He didn't know why he suddenly had such courage to tell Luo Xia about his dream.

"Then we'll have to work even harder!"

Rorschach smiled, raised his right hand, and under everyone's gaze, extended his index finger, from which crackling arcs of electricity emerged, dancing and leaping through the air.

He looked at the recruits staring blankly at the arc of electricity on his fingertip, and slowly pointed his index finger.

"If you want to become stronger, you need external stimulation and help. Now, juniors, pay close attention and accept this gift from me."

Upon seeing the wisps of silvery-white electric arcs emanating from Luo Xia's hand, the expressions of some knowledgeable veterans and instructors changed drastically.

Some of the new recruits who had heard the rumors also changed color, nervously swallowing their saliva.

"Wait...wait...the gift that General Rorschach mentioned, could it be...electric body tempering?" Bellmarebo turned pale with fright and shrank back.

"What is electric forging?" Rebecca asked curiously from the side.

"Electric current training is rumored to be a unique training method invented by General Rorschach."

A new recruit explained tremblingly, "General Rorschach is able to control lightning. Legend has it that during his recruit training, he was personally assigned by Chief Instructor Zephyr to conduct electric current training for the other recruits in his cohort. This method uses increasingly intense lightning to stimulate the muscles, allowing people to exhaust their strength in a very short time without long periods of repetitive physical exercise, destroying and rebuilding muscle tissue to make them stronger."

"It is said that the reason why the marines of G5 are all so brave and skilled in battle, and no less than our headquarters' elite troops, is because of Admiral Rorschach's training methods."

"Wow! Isn't this a very powerful training method? But why do you all look scared?" Leo exclaimed in amazement; he had never heard of such a training method before.

Helmeppo glanced at the silvery-white arcs of electricity that were gradually covering the entire square, then looked at the curious Rebecca and Leo with a mournful face and said, "This training method is indeed incredibly powerful, but it has a very shameful side effect."

"Shame...shame?" Rebecca and Mansherry were both stunned.

Bellemere nodded, secretly clenching his glutes. "When we undergo electrical training, because the muscles become relaxed or damaged by the electrical stimulation, our bodies will... will lose control and incontinence."

"Incontinence...?" Rebecca's eyes widened.

“That’s right. I saw it with my own eyes when General Luo Xia was giving his fellow recruits electric shocks. Some of them wet their pants, some drooled with their mouths crooked and eyes slanted, and some… some even defecated in their pants… Don’t disbelieve me, among those who had lost control of their bladders were General Red Heart and Lieutenant General White Bear.” A veteran said with certainty.

Upon hearing the veteran's words, Rebecca, Mansherry, and the other female soldiers were instantly terrified.

They couldn't imagine what their lives would be like if they defecated in broad daylight in front of thousands of people. How gloomy and shameful they would be for the rest of their lives.

At that moment, countless resentful gazes fell upon Koby.

It's all Koby's fault, that fool! Why did he have to go looking for trouble?

However, Koby seemed completely oblivious to the countless resentments emanating from behind him. Instead, he stood up straight, full of energy, ready to receive the electric current released from Rorschach's hand.

Seeing the panicked and apprehensive new recruits in the arena, Luo Xia's lips curled up slightly. He flicked his finger, and a surge of electric arcs shot out from his fingertip, pouring down from the sky and into the bodies of thousands of new recruits.

"No! I...I don't want to wet my pants!" Rebecca screamed in fright, clutching her lower abdomen.

then……

"Huh?" She stood there, feeling a huge warm current flowing into her body, and was completely stunned.

This warm current felt like she was soaking in a warm hot spring on a cold winter's day—comfortable, warm, and relaxing.

Having been engaged in high-intensity physical training since waking up at five in the morning, her originally exhausted body suddenly felt light and relaxed.

At this moment, my body is not tired at all, but full of energy, as if I have inexhaustible strength.

Immediately, Rebecca grabbed the heavy iron chains that had been dragging on the ground and were impossible to lift, and with light steps, she circled the huge square to begin today's hellish physical training.

One lap, two laps, three laps... ten laps, twenty laps...

Rebecca ran faster and faster, her steps becoming lighter and lighter, until finally, her figure disappeared completely. She was carrying a weight and used one of the six techniques that Koby had just taught her: Shave.

"What's going on? My body suddenly feels so light."

"Me too, power is surging out of my body, what's going on?"

"I've actually become an iron block! Hahaha, that's amazing, I've become an iron block!"

Excited cheers erupted from every corner of the square. The new recruits were thrilled, astonished by their own remarkable physical transformation.

"Coby...you?!" Helmeppo's eyes nearly popped out when he saw the clearly visible black layer on Coby's clenched fist.

"That's Armament Haki! You've actually awakened Armament Haki? This is a powerful force that only major admirals can wield!"

Bellumber is so sour it's almost unbearable.

Koby only recently awakened his Observation Haki, so how come he's awakened Armament Haki now?

Compared to him, I'm just a piece of trash. I haven't even fully mastered the Six Styles of the Navy yet.

"This is all thanks to General Rorschach's help. General Rorschach, thank you...!"

Koby was also very excited and hurriedly looked up at where Rorschach was, wanting to express his gratitude, but Rorschach was no longer in sight, and he felt a little lost.

.

.

Outside G1 Island, on a warship sailing towards the Red Earth, three men, each three meters tall, sat on the deck, enjoying their lunch.

While eating a grilled fish, Huang Mu looked at Luo Xia with puzzled eyes and said, "Brother Lan Lin, you just... gave your life force to those new recruits? Why did you do that? It will seriously damage your body. Giving away such a huge amount of life force to thousands of people will at most make them a little stronger, but you yourself will suffer a huge loss. For a bunch of trash that you can crush with a flick of your wrist..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Luo Xia stopped chewing his steak and glanced at Huang Mu sideways.

"No...it's nothing, as long as you're happy, as long as you're happy." Huang Mu shivered and quickly buried his head in his rice, not daring to say anything more.

Kizaru frowned slightly upon hearing this, his hand holding a bowl of pork stew with vermicelli stopping mid-air as he looked at Rorschach. "Rorschach, did you really do that?"

Luo Xia sensed the concern in his words, smiled slightly, and shook his head. "How could that be? Do I look like the kind of selfless, altruistic person?"

“I don’t think so either.” Kizaru shook his head and continued slurping his noodles, but still mumbled a piece of advice: “You’re still young, don’t think too much. Your health is the most important thing. Don’t do anything foolish that harms yourself and others. If you fall, the future of the Navy will be over.”

"It's not that serious. The world won't stop turning without me. If the Navy wants a future, it just needs to hold a few more global recruitment drives. There are plenty of talented people on the high seas." Rorschach coughed, somewhat embarrassed by Kizaru's sudden bluntness.

“There aren’t many people like you.” Kizaru slurped up his noodles, quickly finishing one bowl before picking up another.

"Uncle Borsalino, I'll really be proud of you praising me like that." Rorschach smiled and lowered his head to eat.

He lowered his head, focusing intently on the delicious food before him, while pondering Aramaki's earlier question.

Aramaki was right; he had indeed just distributed a huge amount of life force, pouring it into the bodies of thousands of marines, including Koby and Rebecca.

However, Huang Mu was mistaken; that immense life force did not belong to Luo Xia.

Or rather, it doesn't completely belong to Luo Xia; it was merely absorbed and devoured by him and temporarily sealed within his body, but it will still slowly dissipate over time.

That wasn't his own power; that immense and astonishing life force came from Barrett.

That's right, it was the immense life force that Rorschach had absorbed from Barrett, who had entered that invincible state, on Soft Island that day.

After Rorschach absorbed this life force, it remained stored within his body, in every single cell. This allowed Rorschach to fully recover from the injuries he sustained in the battle on Soft Island, and over the next ten days, his physical attributes improved further, making him even stronger than before.

Although he's not that much stronger, there are probably only a handful of strong individuals in the world who can still improve at his level.

Just look at Barrett; it's incredibly difficult to become stronger at Rorschach's and Barrett's level.

Rorschach originally thought he could use Barrett's inhuman life force to glimpse the higher realm of the Kirin Fruit's awakening, the so-called mythical beast form and mythical form.

Unfortunately, after calming down, Luo Xia discovered that only a small portion of the enormous life force he had forcibly devoured had truly been integrated into his body, while the other ninety percent could not be integrated into his body.

Unless he forcibly seals it with Armament Haki, the enormous life force stored in his body will eventually leave his body and dissipate little by little.

Left with no other option, Luo Xia generously distributed his inexhaustible life force to the members of the G5 branch.

Enel, Hibari, Law, Bepo, and other high-ranking members all received a portion of Rorschach's life force as a gift, resulting in a slight improvement in their physical abilities.

Rorschach discovered that the amount of life force each person can absorb is different; if it exceeds a certain level, it cannot be absorbed, and the external life force will dissipate.

His powerful Observation Haki allows him to precisely control the degree of energy distribution, ensuring that everyone receives the appropriate amount of life force, thus benefiting their bodies.

The same applies to Rebecca and others.

After being distributed at the G5 branch and receiving this gift from headquarters, all the foreign life force sealed within him had completely disappeared.

The power that Rorschach can now wield is entirely his own.

Thinking of Barrett's descent into madness in his pursuit of unlimited power, Rorschach couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
