One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Rorschach stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over the people present, and then glancing at the navy in the distance.

In fact, he didn't need to look. The moment he entered this world, his powerful Observation Haki allowed him to see everything around him. He saw the Navy's predicament, the countless innocent people caught up in it, and Luffy, surrounded by white flames and already awakened by his Devil Fruit.

They also saw Enel standing not far away, his expression blank and numb.

Rorschach finally looked at Aokiji standing on the ground and calmly asked, "Uncle Kuzan, is this your choice?"

Aokiji's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He stared at Rorschach for a long time before slowly nodding.

“That’s right, this is my choice, Rorschach.”

Luo Xia remained silent, then nodded slightly. "I understand. So, we are now enemies. You know I never hold back when it comes to enemies."

"I know you don't need to hold back, and neither will I." Aokiji's voice was calm, but his eyes were dark. Seeing the disappointment in Luo Xia's eyes, he felt a strange pain in his heart.

Aokiji knew why Rorschach had given him that look of disappointment.

Initially, due to ideological differences, he fought Akainu in a major battle on Punk Hazard and fled to the New World. He was nearly captured by Wald and Blackbeard, who stole his Devil Fruit, because of his severe injuries. Fortunately, Zephyr suddenly appeared, defeated Wald and his crew, and saved his life.

At that time, Aokiji knew that Rorschach had been secretly in contact with Zephyr.

Zephyr's help came precisely because Rorschach had informed him in advance.

He knew exactly what Rorschach was thinking; Rorschach wanted him to join the new NEO Navy created by Zephyr after he left the Navy.

Zephyr was the kindest and most upright man in the Navy, never having killed a pirate in his entire life. Another famous nickname of Admiral Black Arm was "The One Who Doesn't Kill Admirals." Rorschach felt that since his principles of justice clashed with Akainu's, he would surely get along with Zephyr.

However, no one expected things to turn out this way.

Garp's death and Enel's relentless pursuit of Luffy led Aokiji to completely break with the Navy, resolutely standing on the opposite side of the Navy, unilaterally announcing that he would join Luffy's pirate crew, and subsequently directly attacking Enel.

It can be said that his decision was the most direct cause of the series of heavy losses suffered by the navy afterward.

His actions have sealed the fate of his relationship with Rorschach and the Navy, making it impossible for them to ever return to what they were before.

Looking at Aokiji, who was now acting like a complete stranger, Rorschach felt very sad.

In his heart, Aokiji has always been a very respectable elder and senior.

He was easygoing and approachable. Although he was lazy, he was very patient with people. During Rorschach's recruit training, he taught Rorschach many physical techniques, Devil Fruit development skills, and techniques for using Haki.

At the same time, he also saved Rorschach's life many times.

Rorschach always remembered this kindness and always thought about repaying it one day.

However, today...

The phrase "one is not in control of one's own destiny in the martial world" suddenly popped into Luo Xia's mind.

Although he holds a high position and is considered one of the most influential people in the world, there are still many things he cannot control, and he cannot make everything perfectly suit his wishes.

'Things can never go back to the way they were...'

Rorschach sighed inwardly. Under the solemn gazes of Shanks, Beckman, and Yixiao, his tall figure began to grow rapidly!

Azure scales appeared on the surface of his wildly expanding body, and thick tendons intertwined like coiled steel bars, or like intertwined pythons or dragons, containing boundless violence.

In an instant, Rorschach's three-meter-tall body grew to a massive twelve meters, his explosive muscles resembling a formidable, interlocking armor.

With its fiery red dragon horns, ferocious dragon tail, and thick Qilin claws, Rorschach in his beast-human form exudes an unparalleled and terrifying visual impact.

Fiery red clouds, blood-red thunderclouds, and howling air currents appeared on Luo Xia's magnificent body in his new Blue Scale form, intertwining and complementing each other, making Luo Xia at this moment seem like a god descended from mythology.

As he revealed his new Blue Scale form, a domineering, powerful, and immense aura, as if the heavens were collapsing, immediately swept across all directions, transforming into a tangible energy storm that crushed towards Barrett, Totemjika, Shanks, Beckman, Issho, Aokiji, and Enel in front of him!

"Sizzle... Boom!"

Thick bolts of lightning suddenly erupted from Luo Xia's body, instantly engulfing all seven of them in a surging sea of ​​lightning, turning the space within a radius of several thousand meters into a domain of raging thunder.

At the same time, even more raging flames erupted from the gaps in Luo Xia's scales, like a tsunami, crashing towards the group.

In his hand, a heavy, black halberd appeared out of thin air. This was not the original Heavenly Dragon Halberd, but a replica created by this world. It could not perfectly replicate the characteristics of the Heavenly Dragon Halberd, but under Luo Xia's domineering aura and the entanglement of thunder, flames, and gales, this halberd unleashed a terrifying sharpness that changed the very color of heaven and earth.

The four-meter-long halberd, enveloped in thunder, fire, wind, and domineering aura, transformed into a gigantic fifteen-meter-long battle halberd, which Luo Xia grasped in his hand and swept across the seven people in front of him.

He's going to fight seven people by himself!

Chapter 822 An Unprecedented One Against Seven

"What kind of monster is this guy? Does he have no limits? Why does his strength change so drastically every time we meet again?"

When Rorschach revealed his newly awakened Devil Fruit form to everyone, they all felt a terrifying aura that sent shivers down their spines.

Shanks, Issho, and the others all wore extremely solemn expressions.

In their view, Rorschach's aura might not be stronger than Barrett's, but the difference between Rorschach and Barrett is that Rorschach's mind is not malfunctioning.

This is a young man who has survived countless life-or-death battles and fought against numerous ferocious and tyrannical pirates.

Therefore, without a doubt, Rorschach's threat was far greater to them than that of Barrett, who was muddle-headed and only knew how to vent his power indiscriminately.

Under the overwhelming aura, not only Rorschach's enemies but even his own navy felt a chill run down their spines. Magellan, who had just rushed out a few hundred meters to support Rorschach, involuntarily stopped, his pupils dilating as he stared at Rorschach's powerful transformed form, at the massive slash that seemed to cleave the world of Kaka in two, and was momentarily stunned.

"When...did Rorschach become so powerful?"

Before Shanks and the others, as Rorschach swung his halberd, a slash spanning tens of thousands of meters across the sky swept in, like a massive mountain range stretching between heaven and earth, ready to crush everything in its path.

Thunder, flames, storms, and a deep blue, domineering aura swirled around this enormous slash, creating a deafening roar.

Beckman's eyes widened, and his fingers gripping the long knife dug into his palm, drawing blood.

"Are you kidding me? This is a slash?"

"Beckman! You protect Uta, everyone else, come with me! Go all out! This guy is an even more monstrous monster than Barrett!"

Shanks' expression changed as well. Black and red Conqueror's Haki surged from his longsword, condensing into bolts of black lightning. He flashed into the air, leaping high and slashing down at the massive, crushing attack.

"Gods, beware!"

With a smile, he reached out and drew his sword. The Supreme Grade Sword 'Extreme Fire Line' in his hand was replicated and slashed horizontally. The power of the Multiple Fruit was brought to its limit, and the gravity of more than a hundred times distorted the void.

"Hundredfold Gravity Blade! Dragon Slayer!"

Aokiji leaped high into the air, and endless freezing air spewed out from his body, quickly freezing the atmosphere in front of him and turning the vast space of several thousand meters in front of him into a thick layer of ice in an instant.

Ice Age!

Luffy took a deep breath, his body expanded as he exhaled, transforming back into the towering Nika Giant. His arms enlarged, and he unleashed the same massive island fist that had previously struck Bullet.

"Nikanika...Ape God Spear!"

Barrett moved as well, but not because of Shanks' words.

The instant Rorschach appeared, revealing his new form, Barrett's crazed, crimson vision was filled only with Rorschach before him. A beast-like roar escaped his throat, "Rorschach!!"

Even though his mind was in a frenzy, he still remembered Rorschach's presence and that his defeat after returning to the New World was thanks to Rorschach.

It was Rorschach who interrupted his momentum on the path to becoming the strongest, reminding him of the challenges and defeats he faced against that man in the straw hat decades ago.

"Rorschach...Rorschach!!"

At this moment, Barrett had only one thought in his mind: defeat Rorschach, devour Rorschach, and merge with Rorschach.

It seemed that in his heart, as long as he could defeat Rorschach, he would become the strongest in the world and have already fulfilled his lifelong dream.

On his enormous, bloated, and bizarre body, thousands of tentacles merged together, converging on his back into a massive arm as huge as a pillar of heaven, gripping a fist enveloped in shockwaves, which crashed down like a pillar collapsing.

"Airquake!"

The sky within a radius of hundreds of kilometers shattered under the force of a single punch. With a crisp cracking sound, countless cracks appeared in the atmosphere, brewing a terrifying shockwave that sent chills down one's spine.

Under the fierce impact of this shockwave, even Magellan and his men who were trying to rush to their aid were blasted far away.

The battlefield was cleared in an instant, leaving only eight people, including Rorschach!

Only Totemjika, the ancient demon king, quietly drifted away while everyone joined forces to meet Rorschach's attack, hiding far behind Shanks and the others, staring at the god-like Rorschach with his dozen compound eyes.

It dared not go up.

Totemjika had a premonition that if it were killed by Rorschach in this world, it might truly die, its soul and consciousness dissipating and disappearing completely. It was already considering whether to return half of its consciousness to the real world to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

However, since its two soul parts have already merged, it needs Uta, an ability user, to open the door to the outside world with her singing to leave. Without the connection to the outside world's consciousness, and without Uta's key, even this Demon King of Song cannot leave this place.

However, Totemjika, this cunning and treacherous demon, did not do nothing.

The Enel it controlled had transformed into a thousand-meter-tall lightning Buddha, unleashing hundreds of massive lightning bolts, each as large as an ancient tree, towards Rorschach's true form.

Totemjika feared Rorschach, shocked by the terrifying power Rorschach displayed, yet also coveted his power, just as he coveted Barrett's power, yearning to possess and enslave both of them. His dozen or so compound eyes stared unblinkingly at Rorschach, a gleam of desire flickering within them.

“If I could control him and Barrett, even Im would kneel at my feet! Hehehehe... What immense power, for a mere lowly insect.”

A deafening roar shook the entire arena, disrupting Totemjika's thoughts. The aftershocks of the battle between Rorschach and the others slammed into it, sending the ancient demon flying backward like a meteor.

Rorschach's slash collided with the attacks from Shanks, Barrett, and others, creating a tremendous shockwave that shook the entire world violently, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

The thick layer of ice that stretched across the sky shattered with a deafening roar under the slash that swept across the heavens and earth, turning into countless ice shards that fluttered down like a hailstorm.

Amidst the falling ice crystals, a towering figure entwined with lightning and fire crashed forth. Wherever it passed, the ice crystals melted, and scalding steam billowed out, transforming the battlefield into a misty wasteland. The billowing steam and the darkness spreading beneath their feet complemented each other, making it seem as if the place had become the Devil's Triangle.

"Luffy! Be careful! Don't fight him one-on-one, or you'll easily be picked off one by one!"

Seeing the enormous phantom of lightning and fire in the sky, like a shooting star streaking across the heavens, dodging the giant fist of the strongest among them, Bullet, and approaching the gigantic Luffy behind him, Shanks couldn't help but shout a warning.

At the same time, the ground beneath his feet exploded, and with a flash, his speed exploded to the limit as he rushed towards Luo Xia.

But Rorschach was faster than him!

Everyone only saw a silver-white and fiery-red phantom flash across the sky, and the next moment, Luffy was confronted by Rorschach, who was twelve meters tall and looked like a demon god.

"Good timing! Rorschach! I'm going to challenge you. If you lose, give me back Nami, Sanji, Chopper's hearts!"

Fear was not in Luffy's eyes. He roared, his right arm extending thousands of meters, frantically inflating and expanding. The incredibly destructive Monkey God Spear was activated again, smashing wildly towards Rorschach. His fist was so large that it covered the entire sky above Rorschach's head, dimming the surrounding light.

Luo Xia did not respond. He clenched his thick Qilin Claw into a fist, and a domineering aura as deep as the sea surged on the surface of his fist, distorting the surrounding atmosphere. He threw a punch, which slammed into the rubber giant fist that was vastly different in size.

"boom!"

A large cloud of white air exploded above Rorschach's head, and the chaotic air swept in all directions, turning into a terrifying storm.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Luffy screamed in agony as the massive island fist crashed down upon him, causing his rubbery skin, muscles, and bones to twist violently, as if a boulder had been slammed into the sea. Starting from the spot where Rorschach had struck his fist, a tremendous force surged into his hand, traveling upwards and relentlessly destroying Luffy's body.

His fist twisted, the skin on his arm exploded, and blood gushed out like a waterfall. His enormous body was also sent flying by the impact of his own fist, shooting thousands of meters away. His entire arm was twisted into a pretzel, and the soul-tearing pain surged like a tsunami, wave after wave crashing against his mind, causing him to involuntarily scream in agony.

After sending Luffy flying with a single punch, Rorschach continued his actions, raising his hand to unleash a ball of lightning that instantly traversed thousands of meters in the sky, striking Luffy as he flew backward.
