One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Luo's eyes welled up with tears, and he quickly lowered his head, not wanting others to see his reddened eyes.

A few minutes later, the warship left the port and sailed toward the elevator shaft on the red earth continent.

On the warship, Luo stood silently, still looking in the direction of Marineford.

"Luo, I think he really wants to hear you call him Grandpa. The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease; the child may wish to care for his parents, but they may no longer be there. Don't wait until it's too late to regret. Love should be bravely expressed."

Luo Xia's leisurely voice came from the side, causing Luo's face to twitch from the silence.

"I'm not kidding, so don't say I didn't give you a chance."

Luo Xia casually tossed something over, and Luo reached out and grabbed it.

He unfolded it and saw that it was a golden bean, and looked at Luo Xia with a puzzled expression.

“Pure gold, worn on the body, grants immortality. That Asie made it two hundred years ago, and I got some.” Rorschach shrugged, patted him on the shoulder, and chuckled, “So, don’t worry about me selling you off after your fruit awakens. Isn’t this thing much more convenient than that life-risking immortality surgery you had?”

Luo was slightly surprised, but then completely relaxed, a faint smile appearing on his face as he tossed the pure gold bean in his hand.

With a whoosh, a wave of air suddenly spread out, extending for thousands of meters and enveloping the nearby inner bay naval port. The golden bean that Luo had tossed into his hand disappeared.

When it reappeared, the golden bean, the size of a soybean, suddenly appeared in front of Sengoku.

Sengoku was taken aback, and subconsciously reached out to catch it.

At the same time, he seemed to hear something, his eyes slightly opened, and he stared blankly at the golden bean in his hand.

After a long while, Sengoku raised his head and gazed at the warships that were gradually disappearing into the distance. A relieved smile appeared on his aged face.

"It seems I was worrying too much. Luo, you've really found a group of trustworthy partners."

Chapter 785 Sea King

"Huh? Dad, aren't we going back to the New World with Uncle Luo and the others?"

On the warship, Kirin looked at his ship with curiosity. Shortly after leaving Marineford, it separated from the fleet led by Law and Enel and headed off in a certain direction on its own.

"Uncle Luo? That guy's not surnamed Luo, his surname is Trafalgar, you can call him Uncle Trafalgar." Hearing Qilin's question, Luo Xia's lips twitched, somewhat speechless.

Hibari, who was preparing lunch for the group, was speechless.

Uncle Tra? What kind of nickname is that? Can't you just call me by my full name?

She smiled and patted the Qilin's head, explaining, "We're going to Fishman Island to take care of some things, so we're going to separate from them."

"Fishman Island? Are we going to Fishman Island? I'm so excited! I want to see fishmen and mermaids!" Qilin exclaimed excitedly.

"I'm also really looking forward to seeing Fishman Island." Yamato, who was standing next to him, was also excited, his eyes full of anticipation.

She had never been to Fish-Man Island, only read descriptions of it and the Ryugu Kingdom in Oden's diary, and had always longed for that magical underwater world. So when she heard Rorschach say he was going to Fish-Man Island, she immediately refused to leave Rorschach's warship.

Rorschach had no choice but to let Enel and Law lead the fleet via the elevator, while he took Yamato, Hibari, Kirin, and a few others to Fishman Island.

Hearing Qilin's happy words, Luo Xia thought of something and looked at Qilin with a puzzled expression, "Hey, Qilin, haven't you been to Fishman Island?"

"No," Qilin shook its head blankly.

"Then how did you get here from Egg Point Island? Did you take the elevator from the Red Earth Continent?" Yun Que knew what Luo Xia wanted to ask, and she was just as curious.

"No." Qilin shook his head again, pointing to the towering red earth continent in the distance. "I used the Moonwalk to fly from the other side of this mountain to the top, and then jumped off the mountain to get here."

"What? You used Moonwalk to travel from the New World, across the Red Line, to the Paradise Sea?"

After hearing Qilin's answer, everyone on the deck was stunned.

Rorschach and Lark exchanged a glance, then remained silent.

Even the usually carefree Yamato couldn't hold back any longer. Looking at the Kirin, he muttered something like, "Little monster, no wonder he's the son of that monster, Rorschach."

It's no wonder that Yamato isn't shocked.

The Red Line is tens of thousands of meters high. To fly to such a height using Moonwalk, one would need an incredible amount of stamina.

If something goes wrong along the way and you accidentally fall, then it's all over.

Not to mention, Qilin is also a power user. If it fell into the sea, it would drown.

"Then how did you get to Alabasta? You don't seem to have a Log Pose with you?" After a moment of blankness, Hibari asked curiously.

"I asked around the whole way. All the grandpas, grandmas, uncles, and aunties I met were very willing to give me directions. Some pretty older sisters even offered to take me there themselves, but I refused. Uncle Sentomaru said that when asking for help, you should be polite and sweet-talking, and people will be happy to help, but you should also know when to stop and not push your luck. Sometimes, I would encounter pirates at sea. At those times, I wouldn't be merciful. I would kill the bad pirates, and for the less bad ones, I would make them disband their crews. Those pirates also helped me a lot, taking me to some islands..."

As Qilin continued his narration, Luo Xia and Yun Que were speechless.

Without a log pointer, Qilin set off alone from Egg Point Island in the New World, crossed the Red Earth, entered Paradise, and then drifted thousands of miles at sea, finally arriving in Alabasta.

If even one mistake were to occur, such as encountering a storm at sea that capsizes the ship, or encountering a sea monster, the Qilin would likely perish at sea.

What incredible luck!

While the majority of the reason was due to the Qilin's inherent strength, Luo Xia couldn't help but marvel at the Qilin's incredible luck.

This experience alone is something that no other seraphim could replicate.

"By the way, Brother Rorschach, aren't we going to Chambord to have our warships coated?"

Seeing that the warship was continuing to sail forward without any intention of turning back to the Sabaody Archipelago, Lark looked at Rorschach with a puzzled expression.

Fishman Island is located directly beneath the Red Line, more than 10,000 meters below the seabed. Apart from submarines, all ships that want to go there must be coated with a protective film; this is common knowledge.

Luo Xia laughed, "No need, it's just coating, right? Watch me."

As they were talking, Yun Que and the others saw Luo Xia reach out and casually grab the top of his head.

Instantly, the air on the sea surface moved at high speed, covering the warship and compressing continuously, quickly forming a huge air shield that enveloped the entire warship.

The air shield continued to compress, and a fierce wind howled above the warship. In their line of sight, a giant hand formed from endless air currents appeared, pressing down on the hull of the warship and slowly pushing it down below the surface of the sea.

Yamato rushed to the ship's side and looked out. He saw the sea level below the hull rising continuously and soon approaching the ship's side. It looked as if the surging seawater was about to rush onto the deck, but it was blocked by an invisible air membrane and could not get any closer.

Yamato couldn't help but reach out and touch the invisible air shield in front of him. He felt the powerful resilience of the air shield and was amazed by Rorschach's strength.

She had always thought that Rorschach's only ability was to control lightning. But now, Rorschach had also demonstrated the ability to manipulate air currents.

As expected, even among mythical beast abilities, there are differences in quality.

Mythical Zoan types like Kaido and Rorschach can manipulate two natural elements.

Kaido can manipulate fire and wind.

Rorschach is wind and thunder.

Her Great Mouth God, on the other hand, could only spew out freezing air. In comparison, their abilities were clearly far inferior.

This is why, in Water 7, Yamato felt that Lucci, after awakening his Devil Fruit, didn't seem that powerful.

Lucci's Cat-Cat Fruit is far inferior to her Mythical Zoan type. Even if she were to develop it to the point of awakening, the boost to herself would be far less than the boost that the Great Mouth God Form gave to Yamato.

Therefore, Yamato felt that even if his Devil Fruit awakened, he might not be able to defeat Rorschach.

Soon, the seawater submerged the top of the warship, making it resemble a submarine and causing it to sink deeper into the ocean.

As the descent depth increased, the air shield covering the entire warship shrank slightly, accelerating the warship's descent speed.

At this moment, the warship they were on looked as if it had been fitted with a transparent glass dome, isolating them from the seawater. They could see the rippling water and the fish swimming in the water just by looking up.

The people on deck seemed quite confident in the air shields overhead, showing no concern that they would burst as the water pressure increased.

Lark and Qilin unconditionally believe in Rorschach.

As for Yamato, he's just thick-skinned and doesn't care at all.

However, just to be on the safe side, Rorschach added an extra layer of protection to the warships covered by the air shields.

A deep blue light surged from his body, quickly covering the entire warship and enveloping it, making it resemble a deep blue sea king, completely blending into the ocean.

At the same time, to prevent any foolish sea kings from coming to harass him, Rorschach released a slight amount of his own aura.

A terrifying aura, as deep as an abyss, emanated from him, radiating outwards for tens of kilometers. The sea kings that lived in the deep sea around him were so frightened that they scattered in all directions, as if they had seen their natural enemy, and moved far away from the waters where the warship was located.

"Come and eat! I've specially prepared a deep-sea themed seafood feast, including takoyaki and sea king-themed steaks."

Lark brought the prepared food to the deck.

"Mmm, it smells so good! I love takoyaki the most." Qilin sniffed, not caring about the heat, and grabbed a takoyaki to stuff into his mouth.

Whether he inherited Luo Xia's genes or not, he ate very quickly, devouring plate after plate of food like a whirlwind.

"Hey! Kid! Leave some for me." Yamato rushed over impatiently, like a starving ghost reincarnated, and started fighting with Kirin for food.

"Hey, Yamato, who do you think you are? Fighting for food with a little kid, aren't you ashamed?" Luo Xia was speechless.

Yamato stuffed a handful of takoyaki into his mouth, his mouth dripping with oil, and looked at Rorschach, whose hands moved like the wind, with disdain. He mumbled indistinctly, "Do you want to look at yourself? If I didn't grab the food, I would be the one going hungry. The number one glutton in the Marine Headquarters."

Hibari watched the three people enjoying their meal with a smile in his eyes.

The group sat on the warship that was slowly sinking into the deep sea, enjoying the scenery, eating delicious food, chatting, and savoring this rare moment of leisure.

As they chatted, the conversation naturally turned to the fish-men and mermaids on Fishman Island.

“Speaking of fishmen, don’t we have a big fishman on our ship?” Yamato, having eaten and drunk his fill, lay sprawled on the deck, completely unconcerned about his image, and tilted his head to look at Rorschach.

She had drunk quite a bit of wine, and a blush spread across her fair face. Her expression was languid, her figure voluptuous, and her breath sweet as orchids. Luo Xia couldn't help but touch his nose, shifting his gaze away from Yamato's curvaceous figure and onto Hibari opposite him.

Hibari's beauty is in no way inferior to Yamato's; she is gentle and serene, wearing an apron and busy making takoyaki.

Feeling Luo Xia's gaze, she looked up, her expressive eyes meeting Luo Xia's, making his heart flutter.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question. Why are you two eyeing each other?" Yamato muttered unhappily.

"Ahem, you mean Jinbe? Yes, he is indeed on the ship." Rorschach coughed quickly to cover his embarrassment.

Jinbe was brought from Impel Down by Magellan and given to Rorschach.

Because of Shirahoshi and Neptune's repeated pleas, and after carefully weighing Jinbe's threat level, Rorschach decided to release him.

It just so happens that he's going to Fishman Island this time, so he'll take Jinbe with him.

"We're almost at Fishman Island. Let him go and have something to eat, so Neptune won't accuse me of abusing prisoners later."

Luo Xia raised his chin slightly towards Yamato.

"Why me? Why don't you go yourself?" Yamato reluctantly climbed up from the deck and slowly walked into the warship's cabin.

After a while, she came back and comfortably lay down on the ground.

Behind her, a tall merman, his hands and feet bound by heavy seastone chains, slowly walked out.
