One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

All that remained were countless wriggling, sticky granulations covered in black pus.

Even though it was scorched by his laser heat and crushed by Shanks's Overlord Slash, those disgusting fleshy buds were not completely destroyed. Instead, after being cut apart, they quickly stuck together and grew until the wounds disappeared rapidly. Everything was as if it had never happened. Barrett's chest, which was covered with various limbs, returned to normal in the next moment.

"Gods, beware!"

Shanks' gaze was cold and stern. He was already furious and in pain because Yasopp's life force had disappeared. Now, entangled by the black energy in Barrett's hand, he showed no mercy and slashed with his long sword. This time, his target was Barrett's head!

Barrett's large hand slammed down, its palm swirling with deep blue, domineering energy, directly grabbing at the longsword he had unleashed.

With a soft "poof," blood flashed, and half of a large hand flew out diagonally. Shanks had severed Barrett's grabbing hand with a single slash, and the sharp blade continued its momentum, still aiming for Barrett's thick neck.

"Idiot! You have top-tier Devil Fruit abilities, yet you want to fight him hand-to-hand? You're an idiot! Use my Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, use my Dark-Dark Fruit ability, and kill him! You moron, Barrett!"

Suddenly, the black-bearded man to Barrett's left changed his empty gaze back to liveliness. Looking at the Griffin longsword slashing towards him, he opened his mouth, which was missing a few front teeth, and shouted angrily.

Seemingly alerted by Blackbeard, Barrett retracted his two massive arms from his shoulder blades, clenched his left fist with a spherical shockwave vibrating and humming, and spread his five fingers wide on his right, with black energy swirling around them, and then struck Shanks with both of them.

"Dark water!"

An irresistible suction force erupted from Barrett's large, swirling black hand, pulling the blade of Shanks's Griffin sword towards him and drawing it into his palm, where he gripped it tightly.

Shanks tried to pull hard, but couldn't budge it.

His gaze was cold and stern, and his body was filled with domineering aura. Just as he was about to exert his strength, Barrett's shockwave fist crashed down again.

"Airquake!"

Barrett's punch landed, and countless cracks instantly appeared in the atmosphere of the entire Expo Island. The whole world seemed to turn upside down at that moment, and a powerful shockwave erupted, slamming towards Shanks and Kizaru in front of him.

With a flick of his wrist, Shanks pulled the Griffin sword from Barrett's hand with a hiss, leaving a trail of blood, and was about to retreat.

But at that moment, Barrett's other large hand, swirling with black energy, grabbed him again, unleashing a powerful suction force that tugged at his body as he tried to retreat, making it impossible for him to escape!

The next moment, with a single punch, the shockwave that had cleaved hundreds of kilometers of sea around Wanbo Island struck Shanks squarely in his furious gaze, engulfing him completely in a terrifying torrent of shockwaves.

Shanks' body flew backward like a cannonball, and while in mid-air, a long string of blood gushed from his mouth.

He tumbled through the air, flying backwards like a meteor for hundreds of meters, smashing through several huge rocky arms before finally coming to a stop.

Just then, Garp's urgent question came through.

Shanks coughed up another mouthful of blood, his chest heaving twice. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth before turning to look at Garp, giving a deep look at Uta, whom Garp was holding in his hand.

"Give Uta to me, I'll wake her up."

"No! Who knows if you'll wake her up? What if you take her away and then ignore the problems here?"

Garp resolutely refused.

"The reason I'm here is to stop Uta from making any more mistakes! Nobody wants to see things like this, Garp! I want to solve this problem even more than you do!" Shanks' voice was filled with anger, and he was losing his composure.

He felt increasingly uneasy, with a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Shanks looked up at the Redford in the sky, a deep worry in his eyes.

Karp stared at him intently for a long time before finally pushing the Uta he was holding towards him.

"I hope you keep your word, Shanks! Your daughter's safety is important to you, but other people's lives matter too. Wake her up, release her powers, and let go of those who have been brought into the world of Kaka."

"I'll do my best." Shanks severed several giant arms that were crashing down on him with a single slash, leaped in front of Garp, carefully pulled Uta into his arms, and began to check on Uta's condition.

"It's not just about doing your best, it's about having to do it!"

Behind Garp, Magellan, clad in highly poisonous armor, stared at Shanks and Uta, whom he was holding, with undisguised murderous intent in his cold and fierce eyes.

"Because of her own willfulness, the whole world has been dragged into this huge disaster. Redhead, you can't bear this responsibility."

Shanks did not answer, but used his Observation Haki to sense Uta's situation.

After a while, his face darkened, and under Garp's expectant gaze, he slowly shook his head.

“I can’t wake her up. Her consciousness has entered the world of Gege and has been affected by something. This has happened before, but I could always wake her up. I don’t know why, but I can’t do it now.”

"Is it that you can't do it, or that you don't want to?" Magellan looked at Shanks with cold eyes.

Shanks' anger surged. "I have no reason to lie to you!"

Magellan snorted coldly, showing no respect whatsoever, "You can't believe a single word a pirate says."

Karp shook his head. "I believe he wasn't lying."

"Hahaha, can't you wake me up? Of course! If you guys could solve this so easily, then Barrett's plan to devour everything and become the strongest would be ruined, wouldn't it?"

Suddenly, Blackbeard's mocking laughter drifted from afar.

Shanks and Garp immediately looked up.

Shanks's eyes sharpened as he locked onto Blackbeard's laughing face. "What do you mean? What did you do to Uta?"

"Although I would love to do something to her, unfortunately, I have lost my body, and that madman Barrett is not interested in women at all, only in your daughter's singing."

Blackbeard chuckled, turning his eyes to the left. "But that old vampire Ryder might be a different story. Who knows if he's... hehehe."

Shanks' killing intent surged instantly, his icy gaze fixed on Ryder, whose face was expressionless and whose lips were as red as blood.

Ryder's numb eyes flickered, regaining their senses. Sensing Shanks' killing intent, he glanced at Uta in his arms.

"I simply turned her into my first embrace."

“She is my slave now. If you want to take her away, you need my permission.”

"The Embrace?"

Shanks' expression changed drastically. He reached out and pried open Uta's mouth, immediately seeing four sharp fangs protruding from it.

This makes Uta, who has a pure and cute appearance, seem somewhat eerie and alluring.

"Using blood to develop offspring is an ability I recently discovered in my vampire form. Unfortunately, although I intended to escape the conflicts at sea by faking my death, I still owe Barrett a favor that I must repay. And unfortunately, I couldn't defeat him."

Ryder's calm voice, however, ignited Shanks's murderous intent.

Barrett was chasing Kizaru, and golden light burst from his attacks. Ryder's eyes, which had been clear for a moment, were gradually becoming numb and empty again.

He concluded, "So, whether it's you or the Navy, there's only one way to solve this problem you see, and that is..."

“Kill Barrett.”

"But I must warn you, be careful, he can no longer be considered human."

After Ryder finished speaking, the light in his eyes disappeared, and then turned blood red. With a whoosh, two compressed blood pillars shot out, instantly crossing a hundred meters and piercing Magellan's chest, who had the weakest domineering aura among them!

"Magellan! Are you alright?" Garp exclaimed in shock, seeing that Magellan's venomous armor had been pierced by the two compressed jets of blood, leaving two small holes in his chest.

Not only that, but two bottomless holes also appeared in the ground behind him.

He was instantly pierced through the body by two beams of blood shot from Ryder's eyes.

Magellan groaned, knelt on one knee, and clutched his chest.

Ryder's attack was too fast and was imbued with powerful Haki, rendering his elemental venomous body ineffective and causing him to be struck in his main body.

Seeing the worry in Garp's eyes, he gritted his teeth, stood up, and said in a deep voice, "I'm fine! Now that we've found a way, let's all go together and kill Barrett!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a muffled thud came from afar, and a golden light shot into the ground, blasting a huge crater. Kizaru, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and covered in dust, appeared in the dust in a very disheveled state.

His face was grim, and he pouted, saying, "The Dark-Dark Fruit can counter abilities, plus the Vibration Fruit whose attack power is comparable to Sakazuki's magma, plus an indestructible physique and inexhaustible Haki, how can we possibly fight against that?"

"Let's all attack together! With so many people against one, even if Rocks were reborn, he'd be turned into mincemeat. I... I'm going to unleash my full power too!"

Garp grinned, his white hair standing on end, and a powerful, ocean-like aura surged from his body, flowing across his skin. He stomped on the ground within a hundred meters radius, and the force of his attack shattered the giant rock hand that was slamming down on him. In an instant, he rose up from the ground, clenched his fist, and punched Barrett in the forehead.

"Fist Bone! Galaxy Impact!"

Magellan followed closely behind, unleashing a full-blown burst of hellish poison that transformed into rust-red waves that engulfed Barrett's massive, bloated body.

"Red Lotus Poison!"

Kizaru sighed, flew out of the pit, appeared in the sky, crossed his hands, and countless points of light poured down like rain.

"The Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel!"

Shanks no longer held back, putting Uta down and flashing behind Barrett as if teleporting, before slashing vertically with his sword.

"Gods, beware!"

In an instant, the four of them joined forces and unleashed their powerful attacks at Barrett.

Under the combined attack of four of the world's top experts, even the monstrous Barrett, despite unleashing a shockwave that tore through the atmosphere and a suction force from the surging black energy, could not withstand it. In the instant the two sides clashed, Barrett's bloated body, hundreds of meters tall, exploded with a bang, turning into a shower of blood and flesh.

Before Garp and the others could relax, the splattered blood and flesh flowed backward and converged towards the center, quickly piling up to form Barrett's bloated and disgustingly large body.

Just as the four of them were about to continue their joint efforts, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the island of Eregia. The invisible barrier was shattered, and an ancient and desolate melody echoed in the sky. A ferocious beast appeared out of nowhere.

Shanks' expression changed, and he blurted out, "Totemjika has awakened!"

As the ancient demon broke free of its seal, Barrett, who had just condensed his form, suddenly froze in place. The expressions on his three faces became blank, his eyes closed, and he stood like a statue.

Garp noticed something amiss and frowned, saying, "He's entered Uta's world of songs. That bastard, isn't he afraid we'll kill his true form?"

However, the moment Barrett fell into a deep sleep, Shanks seemed to sense something, his expression changed drastically, and without the slightest hesitation, he released the Haki covering his body, actively listened to the ancient song echoing on Manpo Island, and entered the world of songs!

"Huh? What happened? Even Shanks is acting so irrationally, just leaving his body right under our noses. Isn't he afraid we'll take the opportunity to kill him?"

Magellan looked at Shanks, who was standing motionless with his eyes closed, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Vice Admiral Garp, what about us?" Kizaru gave Garp an inquiring look.

Garp didn't hesitate and unleashed the Haki covering his entire body, "Let's go into the world of Sing-song and take a look!"

After saying that, he quickly stood still and fell into a deep sleep.

"It's too dangerous to leave my body here. What if I get eaten by a demon?" Kizaru scratched his head, looked at the ancient demon floating motionless above Eregia Island, muttered to himself, and followed Garp, letting his consciousness be drawn by the song into the world of Sing-Sing.

"I'll stay and see if I can poison Barrett, and also protect your bodies." Magellan didn't release his Haki defenses and chose to stay.

However, just as he uttered this plan, a huge sonic wave suddenly erupted from Totemjika, which was floating motionless above Eregia Island, and exploded in Magellan's ears. As his blood surged, his Haki was momentarily dissipated, and he instantly entered the world of Kaka along with Garp, Kizaru, and the others!

In the world of Song Song, Shanks, whose consciousness had just entered this place, was instantly brought to the front of the weeping Uta by a force!

When he saw Luffy and Uta, whose bodies had been pierced, his eyes instantly turned red, and without thinking, he slashed at Enel with his sword.

Chapter 814 No Choice, Garp's Death!

Shanks' appearance was entirely due to Uta's grief at seeing Luffy pierced by Enel's lightning spear, which caused him to sing the sixth movement of the Devil's Song, summoning Totemjika, who was sealed on the island of Eregia, in the real world.

With the combination of the inner and outer worlds, the Song-Song Fruit's power was infinitely amplified. As a result, not only Shanks was summoned to this world, but everyone else was also drawn in, either willingly or unwillingly.
