One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

It was Jinbe.

Now, Jinbe has lost his right arm. Although he still looks tall, he is much thinner than before, like a walking skeleton.

When he saw Rorschach again, there was little anger in his eyes, only calmness.

"Jinbe, if you don't mind, come and have something to eat."

Rorschach said calmly, gesturing for the soldier beside him to step forward and unlock the sea stone shackles on Jinbe's body.

Jinbe didn't say anything, but walked to the opposite side of Rorschach, sat down cross-legged, and remained silent.

Seeing him like this, Luo Xia knew that the hatred between the two sides could not be eliminated.

Rorschach killed Ace, Whitebeard, Jozu, and others, so there's no way he could expect Jinbe to suddenly change his attitude, completely forget the past hatred, and smile at him.

Seeing Jinbe remain silent, Rorschach took a swig of sake, then suddenly reached out and tossed a bottle of sake in front of him.

Jinbe caught it, but didn't drink it.

Rorschach chuckled, not pressing the issue, and simply said, "Jinbe, could you tell me when Shirahoshi awakened and became the Sea King?"

Luo Xia's words caused Jinbe's expression to change drastically. He suddenly looked up, staring intently at Luo Xia, and a hoarse voice came from his throat.

"How...how do you know all this?!"

...

A few hours later.

Rorschach's warship slowly passed through the bubble membrane surrounding Fishman Island and entered Bubble Harbor, which is used to dock ships.

On the deck, Hibari, Yamato, Kirin, and the others were all awestruck by the magnificent scenery of Fishman Island, which was like a pearl in the water, and were completely immersed in it.

At the port, Neptune, along with the ministers of the Dragon Palace Kingdom and his children, had come to welcome Rorschach.

Seeing Jinbe return, Neptune and the others were very excited, and even the sentimental Shirahoshi cried.

Neptune, being the ruler of a nation, possessed the demeanor of a king and remained quite calm. He first stepped forward to greet Rorschach, then invited him to a banquet at the Dragon Palace.

Rorschach did not refuse and joined Neptune and the others at the welcome banquet of the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

After admiring the mermaids' captivating dance and beautiful singing voice, and enjoying the unique underwater delicacies of Fishman Island, Rorschach sought out Neptune alone.

He wasn't here on Fishman Island for tourism; Rorschach wanted to talk to Neptune about Aquaman.

He felt that the time for them to confront the world government was drawing ever closer.

However, there are still many things left undone, such as the Pluton battleship in Wano Country, the Mother of Goddess Flame on Egg Point Island, the Sea King Shirahoshi on Fish-Man Island, Shanks and Luffy, and the Revolutionary Army in Dragon.

If none of these issues are addressed properly, they could all potentially affect the final showdown.

Rorschach didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point.

“Neptune, I know that Shirahoshi is the Sea King of your Fish-Men this generation, and she has already awakened and has the ability to control Sea Kings.”

Neptune's smile vanished, his hands clenched into fists reflexively as he nervously stared at Rorschach. "Admiral Rorschach, Shirahoshi... she's just an ordinary mermaid, not a Sea King. Many fish-men possess the ability to control Sea Kings; it's not particularly difficult. I can do it too, and Jinbe can command whale sharks..."

“You don’t need to explain, Neptune. This isn’t a secret. I reckon quite a few people in the world know that your fish-men race produces a Sea King every few hundred years, right? You think even I know this secret, so you think others don’t?”

"As far as I know, the Roger Pirates knew that Shirahoshi was the Sea King, so Shanks knew that too, and if Shanks knew, then many people around him knew. Do you think the World Government, which knows all the truths of the past, wouldn't know this?"

Rorschach's words silenced Neptune, who was trying to conceal Shirahoshi's identity.

He looked at Luo Xia with a serious expression. "What does General Luo Xia want to say?"

“I know what agreement your fish-men made with Joy Boy eight hundred years ago. It was nothing more than Joy Boy's promise to fulfill your fish-men's wish to allow you to live on the sea and coexist with humans on an equal footing. I can help you fulfill this in advance. There are many islands in the waters protected by G5 that your fish-men island can safely travel to and from.”

"What are the conditions? Is it related to Shirahoshi?" Neptune was a smart man and quickly understood the hidden meaning in Rorschach's words.

Rorschach nodded. "The condition is that, before the world order undergoes a major change, Shirahoshi absolutely cannot side with any of the World Government, the Revolutionary Army, or the pirates, especially the pirates. The Joy Boy you're hoping for may appear, but he will never become the savior, because I will not allow a pirate to become the savior. This pirate era will soon come to a complete end."

"The fish-men are too weak and too easily destroyed in the struggles of these powerful forces. I don't want Shirahoshi to be harmed because of an agreement that happened eight hundred years ago. Her existence may be the key to influencing the future of the world."

Chapter 786 Carrot and Bepo

The edge of the Totland Sea.

The two warships sailed side by side on the sea, carrying out their routine patrol mission.

On a warship, Qilin was pestering Bepo, wanting to see Bepo's abilities.

"Uncle Bepo, I heard from my mom that your Devil Fruit ability is the same as Kaido's, is that true? That's one of the top Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit abilities in the world, no less powerful than my dad's."

"Hehe, my ability is not the same as Kaido's. Strictly speaking, my ability is actually a copy of Kaido's Devil Fruit. It is the first artificial Devil Fruit created by Vegapunk. Therefore, my ability is not as strong as Kaido's."

Bepo thoroughly enjoyed being called Uncle Bepo by Qilin. A blush appeared on his silly, bear-like face. He coughed twice, sucked in his large, fat belly, and straightened his back, striking a pose of a strongman as he answered Qilin's question.

Unfortunately, as he exhaled, his large belly bounced back up, snapping three buttons off his specially made military uniform and instantly ruining his image as a powerful figure.

Qilin's eyes sparkled as he looked at Bepo with anticipation. "That's really impressive, Uncle Bepo. Could you transform and show me?"

His eyes were no longer the starry eyes of a seraph, but had become normal human pupils.

This was thanks to Law, who used his Op-Op Fruit ability to slightly adjust the shape of Kirin's pupils. It won't affect the normal use of his eyes.

The reason why Seraphim have unique starry eyes is because they have fused with various different bloodline factors in their bodies, and it doesn't have any special effect.

Seeing the expectant look in Qilin's eyes, Bepo scratched his head and grinned.

"Hehe, since you want to see it, I'll reluctantly grant your wish. Transform......"

"Enemy attack!!"

Just as Bepo's form was about to transform into his Dragon-Man form from the Azure Dragon Fruit, a thunderous roar erupted from another warship in the distance, startling him so much that he nearly lost his breath.

"Enemy attack? We've finally encountered pirates? Great, I've been so bored."

Hearing Palmer's roar, Qilin's eyes lit up. Without saying a word, its small body stepped on the deck and instantly soared into the sky. It darted past Bepo in a flash and used Moonwalk to fly across the sea, quickly reaching the warship where Palmer was.

"Hey...hey! Qilin! Don't go over there! Let me deal with the enemy. Don't take any risks! If something happens to you, General Luo Xia and Miss Yun Que will kill me!"

Seeing the Kirin disappear in the blink of an eye, Bepo was terrified. In his haste, he gave the order to move the warship closer and then used Moonwalk to rush towards Palmer's warship.

On another warship, Qilin had just approached using Moonwalk when he saw a white figure moving at incredible speed, darting about with the help of Palmer's two large hands. The figure constantly used the warship's decks, gunwales, masts, and cabins for leverage, attempting to escape Palmer's attacks.

"Hmm? This guy looks a bit like Miss Yamato." Kirin landed from the air and squatted on the top of the warship's mainmast. He didn't rush to make a move, but looked curiously at the attacker that Palmer had mentioned.

This is a strange girl with snow-white fur all over her body, a pair of upright rabbit ears on her head, and a fluffy snow-white tail behind her.

Her pupils were bloodshot, and tiny arcs of electricity crackled on the fluffy fur on her body.

Qilin noticed that the girl's body had many places where her hair was stained red with blood, revealing hideous wounds.

"Get out of the way, big guy! I don't want to fight you. I need to find people to rescue everyone. I need to hurry, otherwise, otherwise, many familiar faces will die..."

Carrot gritted her teeth, showing no intention of retaliating against Palmer's attack.

She was extremely anxious and had no will to fight; all she wanted was to leave and find help to assist everyone.

But in the vast ocean, she had no goal or destination. Where could she seek help?

The only things Carrot knew were the stories about the Kozuki family and Wano Country told by Nekomamushi and Duke Inuarashi.

Therefore, she thought that perhaps she could go to Wano Country to find those powerful samurai to help her, and to find the powerful Nine Red Scabbards mentioned by the two kings.

But, in this vast ocean, where is Wano Country?

Moreover, if the two kings knew that she was seeking help from the Nine Red Scabbards, they certainly wouldn't agree. The reason they were attacked was precisely because they wanted to protect one of the Nine Red Scabbards.

But Carrot really didn't want to see those familiar people die.

For a moment I was distracted, and the sky above me suddenly darkened. A gust of wind swept over me, and a large, muscular hand came crashing down on my head.

Carrot suddenly woke up and tried to run away, but it was too late.

The giant hand was so enormous that its five fingers, when closed together, blocked all her escape routes.

The next moment, Carrot's body was grabbed by Palmer's large hand and held in his grasp.

"Let go! Big guy!" Carrot gritted his teeth, bracing himself against Pamel's hands, trying to break free.

But how can one escape from it?

In terms of sheer strength, there isn't a single person in the entire G5, no, in the whole world, who can compare to Pamel.

With the racial gifts of the giants, plus the amplification from the Power-Power Fruit, his strength is now so great that he can move islands and mountains.

"Dare to attack a warship? You're asking for death!" Palmer clenched his fist, about to crush Garrot, whom he was holding.

"Wait...wait! Palmer! Stop it!"

Just then, Bepo, who had rushed over, shouted to stop him.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Pamel looked at him in confusion.

Bepo approached Carrot, blinking his bear-like eyes. Looking at Carrot's fluffy white fur and scarlet eyes, he scratched his head and asked hesitantly, "Are you... a member of the Mink Tribe, or a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user?"

Upon hearing this, Carrot, who was struggling, looked up and saw a four-meter-tall polar bear standing in front of her like a wall.

Seeing Bepo's appearance, the crimson in Carrot's eyes lessened considerably.

"Who are you? Bear. Are you also from the Mink tribe?"

Bepo nodded. "I am Bepo, and I'm also a Mink. But I wasn't born in the Mink Principality of the New World. Are you from there? Why did you attack the warship?"

“Be...Po?” Carrot stopped struggling, as if she remembered something. Her scarlet pupils widened suddenly, staring intently at Bepo’s face, making Bepo feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"You are... Vice Admiral Bepo, the White Bear?"

"Lieutenant General White Bear? Heh heh, I didn't expect my name to have spread all the way back to my hometown?" Two blushes appeared on Bepo's bear face.

Then, his body suddenly leaned forward, and the white hair on his chest was tightly grabbed by Carrot's outstretched hands and pulled in front of his eyes.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Bepo panicked and reached out to support Pamel's thick wrist.

"please!"

Carrot's voice was choked with sobs, and tears streamed from her two scarlet eyes.

"Please, please save everyone!"

G5.

"The New World seems to have become peaceful again lately. Law, what are Shanks and Straw Hat doing?"

In the office, Luo Xia looked at the information on the newly added naval branches in the New World without looking up, and casually asked Luo, who was sitting on the sofa watching the news.
