One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

He still remembered the first time he met Luo, in the capital of the Prince Kingdom in the North Sea. At that time, Luo looked very young and arrogant, always putting on a cold demeanor, looking like aloof and difficult to get along with.

But you'll only realize after spending time with him that he's a typical cold-on-the-outside-but-warm-on-the-inside guy.

He possesses superb medical skills and is the most trustworthy comrade-in-arms in the Navy.

He possesses a calm mind and battlefield control ability, making him a rare strategic talent among the many impetuous naval commanders. Even Vice Admiral Tsuru, who has already retired from the position of Chief of Naval Staff, intends to recommend him as the next Chief of Naval Staff.

His strength is also considerable, and he has now reached the point of Devil Fruit awakening, giving him the formidable combat power to rival an admiral candidate. He may even become a Marine admiral in the future.

Losing even one such talent would be an unbearable loss for the navy.

"No...it's impossible! How could Luo...how could he..." Hibari couldn't continue, tears blurring her vision.

She couldn't find Rorschach, and Enel was nowhere to be found either. Now, it seems Rorschach is also...

An indescribable heartache filled her heart, making Yun Que feel suffocated.

This suffocating feeling, so intense it was almost unbearable, extinguished the last vestige of kindness in Yun Que's heart.

"Boom!"

The next moment, it was as if a burning sun appeared in the sky above the square. Hibari's body swelled a hundredfold and a thousandfold, and endless fire clouds surged out from her body, distorting the void, melting the stage like a candle, and even causing Rakiru to scream in agony. His thick Armament Haki armor could not protect him, and his clothes and fur were all charred. His skin was burned with large blisters by the terrible flames, and he had to retreat and flee.

In the sky, enormous tongues of fire, like waterfalls of flame, cascaded down, transforming into giant fiery tentacles that coiled around the Red-Haired Pirates and the New Straw Hat Pirates, launching indiscriminate attacks!

It was not just simple flames; within those raging infernos were deadly poisonous clouds and lightning, as if countless complex elemental forces were mixed within, creating an atmosphere of utter chaos, madness, and terror.

Even Smoker, Drake, Palmer, and others were forced to fall from the sky.

Most of the pirates also fell from the sky. Although most of them had mastered the technique of Moonwalk, they were quite clumsy in front of Hibari and Bepo, who could fly directly in the air.

Moreover, it was such a large-scale, indiscriminate attack.

Yamato also erupted, his spiked club crackling with Conqueror's Haki, unleashing a barrage of attacks on Marco. For a moment, he gained the upper hand, forcing Marco to retreat repeatedly.

On the ground, upon hearing the devastating news, Tashigi couldn't hold back her tears. She was a very emotional person, and she would feel sad and grieving even if a commander she didn't know well met with misfortune. Let alone Law, with whom she had worked for several years.

For Tashigi, Law was not only her comrade-in-arms, but also her superior and her savior.

Even knowing she was on the battlefield, she couldn't bear the grief.

Looking at the endless sea of ​​people around her, at this unfamiliar world, she choked back tears and cried helplessly.

"General Rorschach! Lieutenant General Enel! Where are you? Lieutenant General Rorschach... he's sacrificed himself...!"

At the same moment, in a dark and hidden space somewhere in the world of Gege.

Enel, who was searching for a way out, suddenly felt a strong sense of unease. His heart clenched, as if he had suddenly lost something.

He stopped in his tracks, his body frozen in the vast, dark sky as he flew at high speed to investigate. He raised his hand and touched his eyes, only to find that they were wet.

Enel was stunned.

what is this?

Tears?

He laughed, his shoulders shrugging.

"Are you kidding me...? Me...crying?"

Yes, he is Enel, the god of the Sky Islands, Vice Admiral Thunder Dragon (a candidate for admiral in the Navy), the commander of the G5 Thunder Dragon Fleet, and the god of thunder worshipped and revered by countless people around the world.

How could he possibly cry?

How could I possibly shed tears?

Enel was laughing, an uncontrollable laugh that echoed in this void, as if it had elicited a response from something.

The thing also made a sound, which sounded like laughter, as if it were imitating Enel, but not quite. It sounded like a chaotic mix of countless men, women, children, and even various animals' voices.

Upon hearing this laughter, Enel's smile gradually vanished, replaced by a chilling killing intent.

Endless lightning bolts extended outwards from his body, illuminating the void and the enormous black shadow following closely behind him.

"Shut up!!"

"No matter what you are, I don't have time to waste here with you. If you don't get out of here, then die!!"

Endless lightning and savage Conqueror's Haki mingled together, transforming into a violent energy that instantly engulfed the enormous black shadow.

The terrifying energy tore several small cracks in the void of this desolate place, and light and a familiar aura emanated from those cracks.

In an instant, Enel sensed and saw what was happening outside.

Then, more tears streamed down his face, and he couldn't stop them.

He still refused to admit that they were tears.

But at this moment, Enel finally remembered that he, too, could shed tears and cry.

He cried twice in his life.

One time was when my parents died.

One instance was when the deformed wing on my back was torn off.

This is the third time...

He never wanted a fourth time.

"no way!!"

Chapter 805 The Ruthless God

A world of songs!

Seeing his companions being chased and battered by the raging flames rising from the sky, Yasopp finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Ru! What should we do now?"

Lakiru was looking at the large burns on his body, gasping for breath in pain, when he heard Yasopp's question and became furious.

"Do you think I'm Beckman? I'm not smart enough! Don't ask me!"

"Damn it, I knew you were unreliable. We're all fat and bloated, but Quinn is way smarter than you."

Yasopp cursed, then quickly thought for a moment and loudly voiced his suggestion.

"We now have only two paths before us!"

“One option is for everyone to gather together, take Uta away, leave this place, and leave this world of song that Uta created with her abilities.”

"One option is... to fight the G5 navy to the bitter end. Since Red Heart General is dead, we will fight Blue Lin and the navy to the death sooner or later."

What do you think?

Actually, there is a third way.

The third option is to leave Marco, Vista, and the New Straw Hat Pirates behind, and have the Red-Haired Pirates leave alone, taking Uta with them.

Because the person who killed Admiral Redheart was Vista, a member of the new Straw Hat Pirates, not one of their own Red-Haired Pirates.

The people from G5 who went crazy wanting to get revenge were Vista and Marco, not them.

If they really want to distance themselves from the situation, Lan Lin might actually give up pursuing the Red-Haired Pirates' responsibility because of their long-standing mutual distrust.

But Yasopp couldn't bring himself to say it; he even rejected the option in his own mind.

Because of Luffy, because of his new Straw Hat Pirates, they are all in cahoots with the Red-Haired Pirates, they are one of their own.

Furthermore, the formation of the new Straw Hat Pirates is also related to a deal between Shanks and the Revolutionary Army leader Dragon, which concerns the future fate of this world and absolutely cannot be abandoned.

To protect the seeds of destiny and await the day when they are successfully developed, it would be worth it even if they gave their lives.

What's more, this time they're dealing with the Navy, who will eventually stand on the opposite side, and the forces under Admiral Bluescale, who is known as the second most ruthless pirate in the world.

"There's no way we can get away unscathed! These guys from G5 have completely gone mad. They're all acting like they don't care about their lives, willing to die to drag us down with them! In that case, we might as well take advantage of General Bluescale's absence and kill these guys! Perfect... to avenge Uncle Rayleigh!"

The last trace of hesitation vanished from the faces of the Red-Haired Pirates upon thinking of Rayleigh's death.

When the Red-Haired Pirates were weak, they received a lot of care from Rayleigh, the Dark King.

Back then, Shanks was still very weak and not yet the renowned Red-Haired Shanks of the New World. It was thanks to Rayleigh's repeated care and guidance that the Red-Haired Pirates, who now suppress countless pirates in the New World, came to be.

Rayleigh's death was a huge blow to Shanks, but it was also a huge blow to them.

They didn't harbor too much resentment towards Garp for killing Rayleigh, because everyone knew how much pain the old man had endured.

Moreover, that battle was a fair one, a battle in which no one else interfered. This was the old man's respect for Rayleigh.

It would be truly shameful for the Red-Haired Pirates to go after Garp in order to avenge Rayleigh.

It's not only a disgrace to the Red-Haired Pirates, but also a disgrace to Rayleigh, who died a fair fight, and to the Roger Pirates.

Therefore, they could only silently endure that pain in their hearts.

But that doesn't mean they don't hate the Navy!

Yasopp and others knew, or rather, most people in the world knew, what kind of person the hero Garp was; even pirates who were his rivals respected him.

Otherwise, Pirate King Roger wouldn't have entrusted his sons to that old man.

Unlike the cold-blooded and extreme high-ranking naval officers like Akainu, Sengoku, and Rorschach, the hero Garp is a truly respectable naval commander.

What forced such a respected naval veteran to suppress his grief over the loss of his loved ones and fight Rayleigh to the death was the very navy to which this old man had dedicated his life, and the world government that had ruled this world for eight hundred years!

And Rorschach and his ilk are accomplices!

Just like Akainu before him, he is a knife in the hands of the World Government, a vicious dog they keep!

Since we're bound to clash sooner or later, why not just kill them as Lakiru suggested? That way, we'll have one less powerful opponent in the future!

"In that case... let's go all out! Let Marco hold Yamato back, ignore that berserk fire woman in the sky, and that dragon can't kill Vista. Let's go all out, take down the White Hunter and that dinosaur, as well as that giant and the kid, then join forces to deal with the rest of the trouble and get Uta out of here!"

Having made up their minds, the Red-Haired Pirates' officers did not hesitate any longer and immediately split into several groups, heading towards Smoker, Drake, Pamel, and Kirin respectively.

Among them, the most people attacked Smoker and Drake, who were relatively weaker, while only two people targeted Palmer and Kirin.

Clearly, Yasopp and his group planned to quickly eliminate the weaker opponents, similar to the strategy of Tian Ji's horse racing, and then gather their forces to take down the slightly stronger G5 generals.

Smoker and Drake were the two weakest in their eyes.

As for Tashigi, Penn, and the others, they ignored them and didn't even retaliate against the bullets and shells fired by the G5 Marines. They simply dodged and rushed towards their assigned targets.

These ordinary soldiers are too weak, and there are quite a few of them; killing them would only be a waste of time.

Hibari and Yamato, who were in a rage, also noticed the direction the Red-Haired Pirates were heading. Even if they were sad and angry, they knew what the consequences would be if they were defeated one by one by Yasopp and the others.
