One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Black wings, flames behind its head, and starry eyes?" Smoker on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was clearly taken aback before reacting and saying, "You don't suspect that the little boy is a clone of your Seraph, do you? Koza didn't tell Tina that the other person had black wings and flames. If he really had such obvious features, I think Koza would definitely have mentioned it. Since he didn't say so, then he definitely didn't. Besides, I remember that only seven Seraphs were created on Egg Point Island, right?"

"Never mind, I'll go and see for myself."

Luo Xia's doubts deepened, his body expanded, and he accelerated again, flying towards Saint Tin Island.

What Smoker didn't know was that there were more than seven Seraphim created on Egg Point Island.

According to what Vegapunk told him that day, he actually created eight Seraphim in total.

The eighth Seraph is Vegapunk's most satisfying work.

He believes that only the eighth Seraph can be called the strongest human, the most perfect human that bloodline factor editing technology can achieve with the current level of technology.

Whether it's growth potential, learning speed, or the various outstanding talents hidden within his bloodline factors, he is nothing short of extraordinary, certainly no less than any top powerhouse on the sea, and no less than Rorschach.

Rorschach was very curious about what this eighth Seraph, whom Vegapunk had been boasting about, actually looked like, and who he had cloned.

Is it Whitebeard or Charlotte Linlin?

Unfortunately, no matter how much he pressed him that day, that old bastard Vegapunk just kept giving him that charlatan look that said, "You'll find out soon enough," and wouldn't explain himself. Rorschach couldn't do anything about it.

Now he finally understood why Vegapunk had specifically told him that back then. He also finally understood why he always felt that Sentomaru, that fatso, was hiding something from him.

So that's the reason.

"Damn it, could that old bastard Vegapunk have actually created a clone of me? And made him think he's my son?"

Rorschach was now eager to see if this suddenly appearing son was indeed the eighth Seraph Vegapunk had mentioned, as he had thought.

However, Rorschach also had a question: if the little boy was really a Seraph, then why didn't Kosha see black wings and flames on him?

On St. Ting Island.

Moria has started fighting with the child who suddenly appeared out of nowhere again.

He was determined to obtain the Pluto warship hidden in Alabasta, and he would eliminate anyone who stood in his way.

Without obtaining the Ancient Weapons, Moria simply lacks the confidence to contend with the currently powerful Marine Headquarters.

To regain his former status, or even go further, to re-enter the New World and realize his past dreams, he must obtain Pluto, the god of the underworld.

"Shadow Spear!"

As Moria's fist slammed into the Kirin, he manipulated the shadows that covered the ground beneath them, sending out jet-black shadow spears towards the Kirin's small body.

The Qilin is incredibly powerful, no less than Moria, and perhaps even stronger, and its speed is also impressive.

He easily dodged Moria's massive punch, and even stepped on the air, moving away from the ground to avoid the shadowy spear that rose from the ground.

"Naval Six Styles?" Moria was taken aback. The technique Kirin used was clearly the Moon Walk of the Naval Six Styles.

He never expected that this seemingly immature child would know the Six Styles of the Navy. Moreover, his movements were quite skillful, like that of a seasoned practitioner who had honed the Six Styles for many years.

However, his shadow has no physical form; it can be both real and illusory, and can extend infinitely.

The shadows coalesced into spears that extended from the ground like elongated black spikes, shooting towards the Qilin in mid-air.

Although the speed of the Qilin's Moon Step was fast, the speed of its shadow, which had no physical form, was obviously even faster.

Soon, the dozens of shadow spears controlled by Moria shot towards the Kirin.

"Watch out!" Vivi on the ground cried out in alarm.

Although she knew that Qilin was very powerful, she couldn't help but worry about his young and innocent appearance.

"Storm Kick!"

With a kick of its right foot, Qilin unleashed a powerful slash over ten meters long, shattering all the incoming Shadow Horn Spears.

"It's no use! My shadow is indestructible! Broken Bat!"

Moria chuckled and manipulated the shadows shattered by the Qilin, transforming them into dozens or even hundreds of black figures in casual clothes. These figures swarmed towards the Qilin, instantly engulfing its small body.

"Shadow Box!"

The bats that had engulfed the Qilin quickly merged together, forming a rectangular black box without a lid, completely trapping the Qilin inside.

Moriah was overjoyed at the sight, reached out and grabbed the shadow box in mid-air, then threw it heavily to his feet.

The projector slammed onto the ground with a loud crash and sank deep into the earth.

"A Qilin!" Weiwei exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward immediately.

"Get out of the way! Don't get in my way!" Moria waved his hand, and the shadow mage beneath his feet, like a huge black monster, pounced on Vivi from behind, grabbed her shadow, pulled her up from the ground, and threw her far away.

After shooing Vivi away, Moria raised his right foot high and stomped it down on the black shadow box that had sunk into the ground.

"Hehehe, this is what happens when you overestimate yourself and try to deal with me, you little brat! Turn into a meat patty!"

The moment his large foot slammed down, Moria seemed to hear a child's voice coming from the projector.

"Iron block!"

Moriah burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Iron block? Hehehehe, are you kidding me? You think you can use the iron block of the Navy's Six Styles to block my power? If that's the case, then let's see how it goes! Even real steel will be crushed under my foot!"

Amidst his maniacal laughter, hundreds of zombies fell, their bodies releasing black shadows that flew to Moria and merged into his body.

Then, Moria's right foot, which he had stepped down, suddenly became enormous, as if it had been magnified in one area. It tore apart the oversized loafers he was wearing, and his muscles became grotesque, with bulging blood vessels, like a giant beast's claw.

At the same time, jet-black Armament Haki was wrapped around it.

With a single step, a deafening roar shook the earth, as if the entire Saint-Tin Island was trembling.

The ground beneath Moria's feet cracked open, and the shadow box he stepped on twisted and deformed.

But Moria's face did not show joy. Instead, his eyes bulged, his face contorted in pain, and he groaned as his massive body swayed and fell backward.

His muscular, vein-bulging right foot, wrapped in a domineering aura, was suddenly pierced by his own camera lens, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the sand red.

The black shadow box that had imprisoned the Qilin suddenly twisted into a pitch-black humanoid shape, which was indeed the Qilin's appearance.

With a loud bang, the film box was blasted open from the inside by a tremendous force, and Moria saw the Kirin walk out of it unharmed.

"My iron block is different from everyone else's. I don't know if you've ever heard of the Iron Balloon?"

Chapter 776 The Strongest Seraph: S-Kirin

"A steel balloon?"

Moria was taken aback.

Of course he knew what the steel balloon the Qilin was talking about was.

In this world teeming with powerful beings, there exists only one person whose body is known as the "Iron Balloon." This is a body that, without the need for Armament Haki for defense, possesses a hardening power far exceeding that of most people achieved through Armament Haki.

That was the physical talent of the deceased Yonko, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin.

And this little brat who looks just like Rorschach has the audacity to claim that he has the same talent for steel balloons as Charlotte Linlin.

"Stop joking with me, you little bastard!"

Despite the piercing pain in his foot, Moria stood up and swung his massive fist at the Qilin in front of him like he was playing whack-a-mole.

Qilin didn't dodge; instead, it stood still and just watched Moria's fist smash into it.

"It's not just a steel balloon, it also has a steel frame."

With a deafening roar, Moria's right fist slammed into the ground, burying the Kirin deep underground.

But his voice came from underground.

"You probably don't know what steel and iron bones are."

Moriah's right hand, which was stuck in the ground, was being pushed out little by little by an irresistible force.

The Qilin leaped out of the ground and darted in front of Moria. In Moria's somewhat frantic gaze, it punched him in the face, smashing his head into a sky full of black shadows.

"Shadow Mage!"

At the critical moment, Moria escaped again by transforming his shadow, and then, still shaken, materialized his form in the distance.

Qilin landed on the ground with a thud, stretched his wrists, and said, "Iron Bones is my father's physical talent. As the name suggests, it means incredibly hard bones, much harder than steel. I have the same bones as my father. Moria, your Armament Haki is too weak. Even if I stand here and let you hit me for a whole day, I won't lose a single hair."

"What did you say? You...you...you wretched brat!"

Moriah was so angry that he trembled, gritted his teeth, and wished he could stuff the little brat in front of him into his mouth, chew him up, and swallow him whole.

That's infuriating!

He's had a lot of bad luck these past few years, either getting beaten up by Rorschach or by the Straw Hat Pirates.

The people who beat him were all younger than him, yet they still managed to beat him so badly that he completely disgraced the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

What's even more infuriating now is that a seven or eight-year-old brat has appeared, with a tone even more arrogant than Rorschach and the Straw Hat Pirates back then, and yet he's actually quite strong, causing Moria to suffer repeated setbacks at his hands.

However, after fighting for a while, Moria realized that the kid in front of him did not have Haki. At most, he had superhuman strength and a somewhat abnormal defense.

Think about it too.

For a seven or eight-year-old kid to possess superhuman strength comparable to his own, a defense that even he couldn't break, and the skillful use of the Navy's Six Powers—that's definitely monstrous talent.

If you also possess domineering aura, then what is that?

Cultivation begins in the womb?

With that thought in mind, Moria decided not to waste any more time with this brat.

His figure quickly faded, turning into a black shadow, collapsing down and flowing like water down the ground towards the capital.

He was going to find the Hades warship he had been longing for.

Once he finds the Hades warship, this little brat, even if his body is made of diamond, he can blast him to pieces with a single shot.

Just as Moria's shadow reached the foot of the city wall, a small figure arrived first, falling from mid-air and punching the writhing shadow, shattering the black shadow along with the ground into a thunderous explosion.

The shattered shadow fragments reassembled in mid-air, transforming once more into a gigantic shadow mage. It glanced at the Qilin and continued its charge into the city.

"boom!"

Another punch pierced through the shadow mage flying in the air, shattering him into pieces by a violent force.

But it didn't work.

Just three to five seconds later, like fragments of shadow scattered by a torrential downpour of black rain, they reassembled.
