One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

But no matter what, he must first calm people's hearts, then find Luo Xia and rescue him.

Rorschach made Enel realize how narrow-minded he had been, considering himself a god.

The boundless land he had always longed for was not that small patch of moon in the sky, but the land of Qinghai, a land full of infinite possibilities.

Ahead, the massive Tengshan Mountain, towering like a pillar reaching the heavens, stands majestically.

Inside a huge breach in the mountainside, the lake water was still reacting violently with the magma inside, creating terrifying energy fluctuations that sent chills down one's spine.

However, in this turbulent environment of water and fire, a black pterosaur covered in scorch marks plunged into a cavity in the mountainside, like a moth drawn to a flame, directly rushing towards the raging lava lake.

The black pterosaur charged forward relentlessly, ignoring the surging lava and scorching steam around it. The tears welling up in its eyes were even hotter and more intense than the lava itself.

The pterosaur hovered above the fiery red magma world, anxiously searching for something.

The surrounding lava erupted intermittently, splashing onto him and scalding his body with a hissing sound, but he seemed oblivious.

The pterosaur searched and searched.

Finally, he saw it.

He saw it!

He saw a familiar figure floating on the lava lake not far ahead, eyes closed, a satisfied smile on its lips, being slowly swallowed by the surging lava.

"Brother Kaido! Brother Kaido!"

Hot tears welled up in Jin's eyes, swept across the raging lava lake, and before the churning lava around Kaido could engulf him, he reached out and grabbed Kaido's arm.

He transformed back into human form, his white hair catching the splashing lava and beginning to burn.

The black wings behind him were also burning.

But the flickering flames behind Jhin's head were going out.

He grabbed Kaido's massive arm with one hand, a relieved smile slowly curving his lips, as the fiery red magma surged around him, engulfing him and Kaido together.

"Brother Kaido, this way you won't be lonely in the underworld, right?"

"These past years have truly been...thank you for your care."

Thank you so much!

Enel also rushed to the entrance of the mountain cavity, about to rush in to find Rorschach.

However, at that moment, a chilling intuition suddenly surfaced in Enel's mind.

His usually calm face contorted instantly, and he abruptly looked up at the top of the massive cavity in the mountain above the lava lake.

There, a rift radiating light leads to a point on the ground somewhere in Wano Country.

At that moment, at the crack, a huge, black ball of fire was being dragged straight down into the lava lake by a Wano Country samurai with an airplane-shaped hairstyle.

"Hahaha, it's all over, it's all over!"

"Kin'emon is dead, Raizo is dead, Ashura Doji is dead, Kikunojo is dead, Nekomamushi is dead, Inuarashi is dead, Shinobu is dead, and Lord Momonosuke... is dead too."

"This country is finished, the Kozuki family, everyone... is finished!"

"Die! Let's all die together!"

"Blue Scale! Navy! Let Izou and Lord Momonosuke be buried with him!"

Denjiro, his body burning like a torch, let out a maniacal scream of crying and laughing, dragging the black flames that Kanjuro had created at the cost of his own life, and charged toward the lava lake.

He wants to detonate this place!

A few minutes ago, in Kuri, on the outskirts of Boluo Town near Mount Oden.

In the violently shaking and trembling forest, Denjiro, with multiple comminuted fractures, torn muscles, and ruptured internal organs, struggled to his feet and dragged his leaden, heavy steps toward the outside.

After being hit by Kaido's Overpowering Technique, he was unconscious for a period of time and has only just woken up now.

At this moment, Denjiro desperately wanted to know the situation of his companions and Momonosuke.

He hoped that the time he had been unconscious had not been too long.

He hoped the worst would not happen.

He firmly believed in the prophecy of Master Tengetsu from twenty years ago.

He muttered to himself.

"When the world is in darkness, the moon shines as bright as you."

We cling to what is broken and incomplete, waiting for the dawn.

After twenty years of waiting, Qinghui finally arrived.

Nine shadows were cast as the sun rose in the east.

As he read, tears streamed uncontrollably down Denjiro's face.

Nine shadows fall from the sky, nine shadows fall from the sky...

All nine Red Scabbards are dead. Does Master Shi's prophecy still have any meaning?

Or is it that the nine shadows in the prophecy do not refer to these nine people, but to someone else?

Denjiro didn't know how he managed to force his way out of the forest. He felt as if all his internal organs had been pulverized and turned into a lump of paste, swaying back and forth in his stomach as he walked, like a jolting bucket.

He heard a sound.

It sounded like the crackling and popping of flames burning animal fat.

A burnt smell permeated the air.

Denjiro, panting, looked up toward the direction from which the sound came, and his gaze froze.

A huge black fireball, tens of meters in diameter, slowly crawled across the ground like a living slime, leaving a wide, scorched trail in its wake.

On the ground, mutilated and broken corpses lay scattered haphazardly.

Although some of the bodies were so twisted and unrecognizable, Denjiro was able to recognize them as... the corpses of Nekomamushi and Inuarashi.

Their bodies were burning, and the crackling and popping sound of grease was coming from there.

"Neko-Viper! Inuarashi!!"

Denjiro was distraught and extremely saddened, which made him numb.

He roared and looked around, trying to find survivors.

What about Kanjuro?

What about Kikunojo?

And Shinobu, and Lord Momonosuke!

Where are they?

A terrible thought arose in Denjiro's mind for no reason, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

"No, no... Lord Momonosuke must have left with Shinobu and Kikunojo. Kaido couldn't possibly..."

His muttering stopped abruptly, and his pupils slowly dilated.

He saw the burning black flame turn around in the distance and walk towards him, as if it had discovered him and wanted to devour him.

Deep within the raging black flames, Denjiro saw a blurry, familiar figure.

That is……

"Akiku!"

He saw Kikunojo burning in the black flames, without struggling.

Seemingly hearing his shout, Kikunojo turned his gaze in this direction.

Denjiro saw a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, revealing a reassuring smile.

It was as if he were saying, "Denjiro, goodbye."

"no no!"

Denjiro went mad, drawing strength from who-knows-where, and roared with bloodshot eyes as he charged toward the giant, slowly writhing ball of fire.

He wanted to rescue Kikunojo, he wanted to find out the whereabouts of the last Nine Red Scabbards and Lord Momonosuke, he wanted to know where Kaido had gone, he wanted...

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the earth shook violently, and the ground beneath their feet cracked open as if a monster had opened its jaws to swallow everyone on the ground whole.

Denjiro and the black flames in front of him were both thrown to the ground by the shock.

Denjiro coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground again, while Kazenbo was stuck in the opening crack, slowly wriggling, trying to crawl out and continue walking towards him.

"What happened? An earthquake? A volcano?"

Denjiro gritted his teeth and looked at the rumbling, shaking earth. From the cracks beside him came the roars of giant beasts, and two somewhat familiar voices were mixed in with the roars.

Upon hearing these two voices, Denjiro was stunned.

He lay on the ground, ignoring the excruciating pain tearing through his body, and crawled to the edge of the crack to look down.

In a fiery world of magma, two enormous mythical creatures are locked in a fierce battle, relentlessly attacking each other.

It was a gigantic fire dragon and a magnificent dragon-headed unicorn.

That is……

"Kaido! And... Admiral Bluescale!"

Upon seeing the two colossal beasts below, Denjiro's face contorted in horror.

These two men were his mortal enemies.

Kaido killed Oden, Kin'emon, Raizo, Ashura Doji, and too many of his comrades.

As for General Lanlin, he captured Izang in Marineford, and his fate is now unknown.

Denjiro stared at the two fighting beasts with eyes full of hatred, wishing they would perish together.

A surge of heat approached from behind, and Denjiro knew it was that black flame.

He can't run anymore; his injuries are too severe.

Although the black fireball was slow, it was very large and had a long stride, leaving Denjiro nowhere to escape.
