One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Perhaps Vegapunk implanted a command in his mind to regard Rorschach as his father.

Luo Xia didn't speak, but Qilin did.

He said, "Dad, are you shocked by my power? What I just used was Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability. My body is fused with Whitebeard's green blood, and I have his abilities. Not only that, I also have Charlotte Linlin's Iron Balloon talent, your Steel Bones talent, the monstrous strength of the Giant race, and some hidden talents from other races. That old man Vegapunk said that I am the most perfect human he could create."

Rorschach was astonished. "You actually know that you were created by Vegapunk?"

"Yes, what's the problem?" Qilin asked with an innocent expression. "I'm very smart. How could I not know such a simple question?"

"But...then why would you..." Luo Xia said awkwardly, pointing to himself, "Why would you say I'm your father?"

“You are my father. I was born into this world because of your bloodline. Without you, I wouldn't exist. You are both my father and my mother. If you don't want me to call you father, I can call you mother…”

"No!" Luo Xia was startled and quickly waved his hands. "No, no, no, Dad is fine, he's great, it's just... it's just a little strange. I'm still a child myself..."

Luo Xia was so embarrassed by Qilin's words that he kept scratching his head.

Weiwei, who had been eavesdropping nearby, was quite surprised by Qilin's words and couldn't help but chuckle.

Rorschach was surprised by Kirin's words. He had thought that Vegapunk had instilled some preconceived memories in him.

Unexpectedly, Qilin was able to realize on its own that it was an artificial human, cloned based on Rorschach's bloodline factors.

From this perspective, he is indeed the most intelligent of all the Seraphim, and his mind appears to be very mature, no different from that of a normally growing human.

Then Luo Xia recalled what Qilin had just said: he possessed Charlotte Linlin's Iron Balloon talent, his own Steel Bones talent, Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit green blood ability, the strength talent of the Giant race, and even other hidden racial talents.

Luo Xia was shocked. No wonder he didn't see black wings and burning flames on the Qilin.

With all these terrifying talents, why would he need the racial talents of the Lunaria race?

Even if Jhin's defense is strong, can it be stronger than Grandma's Iron Balloon?

No wonder Vegapunk said that Kirin was the most perfect human he could create; it's simply too incredible.

If he grows up, he will definitely become an unimaginably powerful top expert.

Moreover, if Rorschach wasn't mistaken, Kirin had already awakened Armament Haki while beating Moria.

This learning ability is truly extraordinary.

Rorschach was speechless.

He remembered how people used to praise his talent, calling him the youngest general in history, and trying to lavish titles on him.

But now, Luo Xia has to say, 'My son, Qilin, has the makings of a great general!'

Although the arrival of this son was sudden and unexpected, catching him completely off guard.

Good heavens, Rorschach is only eighteen years old! And suddenly a seven or eight-year-old son appears out of nowhere. Anyone would be confused in this situation.

Of course, the Qilin only looks like a seven or eight-year-old child. In reality, if you calculate based on the time he was born into this world, he is only about one or two years old.

Thinking about it this way, it seems much more reasonable.

It's quite common in this world for people to get married and have children at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Just as Luo Xia was still in a daze about suddenly having a son, Qilin walked up to him, took Luo Xia's hand, and looked up innocently, saying, "Dad, when are we going home? I want to see Yun Que's mother."

"Yun...Yun Que's mother?" Luo Xia's lips twitched, unsure how to respond. He instinctively reached out and picked up Qilin from the ground, holding him in his arms with one hand, and chuckled awkwardly, "Qilin, who told you Yun Que is your mother? Vegapunk? Or Lilith and the others?"

"It was Uncle Sentomaru who told me. He said that Hibari's mother is your wife, and if I consider you my father, then I should consider Hibari my mother and Fleet Admiral Akainu my grandfather..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Luo Xia coughed repeatedly, feeling genuinely embarrassed.

At this moment, Weiwei walked over, her face beaming with barely suppressed laughter.

"Brother Luo Xia, congratulations! You've become a father at such a young age, and your son is so outstanding. Like father, like son!"

"Hehe, thanks." Luo Xia didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh awkwardly.

The Qilin, held in his arms, tilted its head and glanced at Weiwei, who was smiling, then looked at Luo Xia and suddenly asked, "Dad, is Princess Weiwei also your wife? Should I call her Mother Weiwei?"

"Wei... Weiwei's mom?" Weiwei was stunned. A blush quickly spread across her fair face, making her look even more radiant and beautiful, and even more youthful and radiant.

Luo Xia raised his hand and pinched Qilin's little face hard, laughing and scolding, "What nonsense are you talking about? Weiwei is not my wife, don't talk nonsense."

He lowered his head and looked at Weiwei apologetically, "Weiwei, this kid speaks without thinking, he's just a child. Don't take it to heart."

"I...I'm not angry," Weiwei quickly shook her head.

Rorschach smiled and nodded. Seeing Cobra approaching from a distance, he thought about going up to greet him, but considering the situation on Kuraigana Island, which might be detrimental to Enel and Law, he could only say to Vivi in ​​front of him, "Vivi, I have to go. Moria can't get up anymore. Find some seastone to handcuff him. Tina and the others are on their way. If you need anything later, just tell her."

"Huh? So soon?" Weiwei was taken aback, snapping out of her shyness.

"Well, I have military duties to attend to, so there's nothing I can do. I'll come see you again when I'm less busy. Please give my regards to your father."

Luo Xia smiled, his body surging with energy, and with a light tap of his foot, he vanished from Weiwei's sight.

Watching Luo Xia vanish without a trace, Weiwei opened her mouth, feeling a pang of sadness.

Ten thousand meters above the sea above the amusement park, a colossal Qilin beast riding the wind and thunder is speeding through the sea of ​​clouds, returning towards the direction of Kraigana Island.

Luo Xia's adopted son, S Qilin, sat steadily in the middle of the head of the giant Qilin beast that Luo Xia had transformed into, holding onto the coral-shaped dragon horns on his head. His little face was rosy and his eyes were full of excitement.

"Wow! Dad! You're amazing! Even more amazing than Uncle Sentomaru said. Is this your Devil Fruit power? I can feel that your power is much stronger than mine is now."

"Alas, it's a pity that Grandpa Vegapunk can't extract the green blood of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, otherwise I would definitely choose your ability, Dad."

"Don't be too greedy. Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability is much stronger than your old man's. Develop it well, and maybe you'll be the strongest man in the world in the future." Rorschach's deep voice came from the wind.

"Even without Whitebeard's green blood, I will become the strongest in the world, as strong as you, Daddy!"

He shouted excitedly for a few minutes before calming down. Looking down at the huge, mirror-like scales, he whispered, "Dad, why didn't you let me call Princess Vivi 'Mom' just now? Don't you love her? I think she seemed to really like it when I called her 'Mom Vivi.' She seemed a little sad when we left."

Luo Xia was taken aback, remained silent for a few seconds, and then laughed, "Your senses are quite sharp, but how can someone so young know what love is?"

Qilin nodded, "Of course I know. Love is feeling at ease when you're with that person. When they're sad, you feel bad too. When they're happy, you're happy too. Am I right?"

"Uh...you're right. Did Sentomaru teach you this too?"

"No, I already said I'm very smart. Even animals without intelligence understand this kind of instinct. How could someone as smart as me not understand it?" the Qilin said with a grin, quite pleased with itself.

However, Rorschach added, "Love is not just about empathy; it also means responsibility. If you cannot be responsible for the other person's happiness, don't say 'I love you' lightly, otherwise, you may very well ruin someone's life."

"Oh." Qilin seemed to understand but not quite.

But he quickly put that aside and started asking Rorschach all sorts of questions, like a curious child full of curiosity about the world, wanting to ask about everything.

Rorschach was happy to chat with him.

The aura emanating from the Qilin was very similar to his own, giving Luo Xia a sense of kinship and making him want to get closer to it.

Qilin is cute and smart, and very likable. Luo Xia thinks that Yun Que would be very happy to see him.

Luo Xia couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Yun Que being called "Mom" by Qilin.

I wonder if this counts as having a child out of wedlock?

"Kirin, it seems Vegapunk didn't perform any mechanical modifications on your body."

Rorschach flew at an incredibly fast speed, quickly passing over the town of Mogu and heading towards the fog-shrouded Devil's Triangle.

His Observation Haki swept across the entire body of the Kirin, and he discovered that the Kirin's body had not undergone mechanical modification like the other seven Seraphim, and therefore it was unable to shoot laser beams.

Except for its starry eyes, which are the same as those of other seraphim, the Qilin's entire body is no different from that of an ordinary person.

The white hair on his head was actually silver hair like Rorschach's, and his eyes also had blue pupils.

This surprised and intrigued Luo Xia.

He was curious: if Qilin hadn't undergone Vegapunk's mechanical modifications, how were the knowledge and combat experience in his mind implanted into him?

Does the Qilin possess the same authoritarian chip control authority as other Seraphim?

Qilin nodded obediently and said, "Yes, that's right. My body hasn't been mechanically modified because Grandpa Vegapunk said my body is already perfect enough. Adding those mechanical modifications would just be superfluous; it wouldn't enhance my combat power much and might even create many weaknesses. Oh, by the way, Dad, when I left Egg Point Island, Grandpa Vegapunk asked me to tell you a few things."

"Oh? What does he want you to tell me?" Rorschach asked in surprise.

Qilin said, "Grandpa Vegapunk said that I was secretly created by him, and the World Government didn't know that there was an eighth successful experimental subject besides the seven Seraphim. He said he didn't implant an authoritarian chip in me that could control me through commands, and I am free. Then, well, he said that after I leave Egg Point Island, he will delete all experimental data and information about me. From then on, I am the child you and Lark Mother had, a normal human child, not a war weapon, a Seraphim."

"Old Bei... he actually did this much." Luo Xia was somewhat surprised and moved.

Vegapunk painstakingly created Kirin, the most perfect weapon of war, but he didn't think of using Kirin to curry favor with the World Government, nor did he choose to keep Kirin and make it the strongest weapon of war. Instead, he chose to let Kirin leave Egg Point Island and come to join him in a roundabout way.

Not only did they not implant an authoritarian chip into Qilin, they also instilled in him the idea that Luo Xia was his father, making Qilin exceptionally close to Luo Xia from birth.

It can be said that Qilin is now Luo Xia's child, his own child.

"Consider it a favor I owe you, Vegapunk."

Chapter 778 Hawkeye's Challenge

On Kuraigana Island, the battle between Enel, Law, and Hawkeye has reached a fever pitch.

Hawkeye was indeed incredibly powerful. Even when facing the combined attack of Enel and Law, as well as three Seraphim and more than ten Pacifistas, he still seemed to be handling the situation with ease.

His attacks seemed effortless, without any grand gestures. The slashes that erupted from the black sword in his hand, though seemingly casual, always forced Enel and Law to deal with them with all their might. If they weren't careful, they might end up with more wounds.

"S Eagle, attack head-on. S Crocodile, support him from the sidelines, try to use your Wax Wax Fruit ability to restrict his movement. S Flamingo, use your Birdcage technique to trap him!"

Luo carries a Seraphim authority chip, which allows him to control the actions of three Seraphim.

He knew Doflamingo very well and was well aware that the most powerful move in Doflamingo's String-String Fruit ability was actually the Birdcage.

The silk threads that form the birdcage are extremely hard and tough; even a great swordsman's Armament Haki attack cannot cut them.

Back on Dressrosa, Doflamingo used the same technique, reversing it and covering himself with it to successfully block Rorschach's attack.

If the S Flamingo could use this move now, applying it to Hawkeye on a small scale and trapping him, their chances of capturing Hawkeye would greatly increase.

"Boom!"

Thousands of meters above the ground, massive pillars of lightning, illuminating the heavens and earth, continued to strike.

From the start of the war, Enel never stopped his long-range lightning strikes against Hawkeye.

However, while the constantly falling lightning bolts caused Hawkeye some trouble, they did not cause him much damage.

Whenever a bolt of lightning strikes down from the sky, Hawkeye can easily slice it open with his black knife, causing it to explode into a sky full of electric arcs.

Even if a lightning bolt occasionally manages to strike Hawkeye due to Law's interference, it will be blocked by his thick Armament Haki armor.

As soon as Luo gave the order, S Eagle was the first to rush forward, pouncing on Hawkeye, raising the black knife in his hand high, and slashing down angrily at Hawkeye.
