One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"It's Bonnie! What happened? Why did Big Bear bring her here?"

"Oh no! Something's happened to Kuma!" Sabo looked at Bonney, who had fainted with tears in her eyes, and instantly understood what was going on.

"Go to the Kingdom of Sorbe!" Dragon gave the order in an extremely hoarse voice.

Sabo said nothing, silently picked up Bonnie, and rushed towards the dragon-headed ship in the harbor.

Three days later, in the G5 sea area of ​​the new world.

Green Bull, who had just emerged from Egg Point Island, touched the bandage wrapped around his head, snorted coldly in extreme displeasure, ripped off the bandage, and threw it into the sea.

"If those unruly guys from G5 see me like this, how am I supposed to keep them in line? Damn Bartholomew Kuma, let Vegapunk just cripple him completely."

He narrowed his eyes, looking at the outline of the huge island that gradually appeared in front of him, and the displeasure on his face slowly turned into a smug smile.

"Governor of G5? Hehehehe, this position is good, it suits me well. Only in a place like this can I catch more pirates and make Brother Akainu and the great Five Elders look at me with new eyes."

"That brat Luo Xia was so arrogant, he deserved to die young. A mere teenager, does he even deserve to be called 'big brother' by me? Hmph, it's an honor for him to be killed by the adults' national treasure."

"Under the attack of ancient weapons, it's wishful thinking to survive. That brat must have been reduced to ashes. Only Kizaru and those idiots in the Navy would not believe he's dead and have been searching all over Manpo Island for three or four days."

Green Bull sneered as he approached G5 Island, preparing to take the Five Elders' letter of appointment, replace Rorschach, take control of G5, and become the governor of the world's strongest naval branch.

However, before he could get close to the G5 inner bay port, a blinding ball of light suddenly appeared in the sky above him, and a terrifying energy fluctuation that made his heart tremble was constantly brewing and expanding.

"What is that?" Green Bull looked up, his pupils suddenly contracting as he saw a raging bolt of lightning hovering ten thousand meters above the warship.

Within that turbulent thunder, a cold-faced, long-eared, blond man swelled up, transforming into a thousand-meter-tall lightning Buddha before his very eyes. He held a steel warship gleaming with silver light in his hands, slowly aiming it at him on the sea.

In an instant, a chilling warning of death sent shivers down Green Bull's spine, making his whole body go cold.

His face paled instantly, and he roared, "Enel, you bastard, what are you trying to do? I'm your superior, the new CEO of G5..."

"Shh!"

Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling beam of light descended from the sky. It wasn't very thick, less than ten meters in diameter, and instantly pierced through the sky at an altitude of ten thousand meters, passing through the warship where Green Bull was located.

The bow of the deck where Green Bull stood was the half of the warship's hull, which disappeared silently as if erased by an eraser. Green Bull himself vanished without a trace, leaving not a single mark.

Below the warship, a section of the seawater at a depth of 10,000 meters was also scooped out out of thin air, and it took a long time for the surrounding seawater to rush in and fill the gap.

"Boom!"

Thunder roared in the sky, and towering bolts of lightning crashed down, reducing the remaining half of the warship to ashes.

Chapter 833 The Immortality Surgery

"Huang Mu has been in G5 for several days now, why hasn't he sent back any news? Has he managed to take control there?"

In the holy land, Satan suddenly thought of Green Bull, whom they had sent to G5 as the temporary governor, and muttered to himself.

"What's the big deal about smooth sailing or not? Can G5 really turn the world upside down? With our orders, even if Enel and those guys are unwilling, they have to acknowledge his governorship. It's not a big deal, it's normal that he didn't reply to the message." Maz Saint didn't care at all, not taking this trivial matter to heart.

His gaze and attention were completely focused on what was happening in front of him, and he was even a little nervous and excited.

"The immortality surgery, ah! Once you undergo the immortality surgery, you'll have endless time to grow, to serve Lord Im, and to consolidate our rule. Gringu, you must be looking forward to it, right? Hahaha."

"I have indeed been looking forward to this day." Gringu, the leader of the Moon-Headed Knights of God, dressed in black robes, also had an undisguised smile on his face.

Looking at Luo, who was expressionless and like a walking corpse, he said impatiently, "There's nothing special to pay attention to, so let's get started. Let this old man see what it feels like to be immortal."

"Hahaha, it will definitely make you intoxicated." Nasu Shouro laughed and waved his hand. Immediately, a CP0 member wearing a mask stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and shot out invisible threads that connected to Law's body.

The next moment, Luo, who had been standing there blankly, suddenly moved. He took the first generation Kitetsu from Nasujuro Sei, spread his five fingers on his left hand, and a wave of energy spun around. The surgical space suddenly opened up, enveloping his and Gringu's bodies.

Satan sneered, "That arrogant brat Doflamingo doesn't understand the true use of the String-String Fruit at all. He only knows how to control other people's bodies. He doesn't know the real terror of this ability. It's actually about controlling other people's souls and turning them into your puppets."

Maz Saint watched Luo's actions and said calmly, "This brat with surgical abilities is actually dead. However, under the life link I forcibly established, with the infusion and cleansing of a massive amount of life, he can't die completely even if he wants to."

As he spoke, a faint, illusory pentagram array appeared on the ground beneath his feet, with an illusory trajectory branching off from one of its pivot points and connecting to Luo's body.

Saint Pitt was very satisfied. He stroked his beard and watched the ageless surgery being performed skillfully. "Once his mission is complete, let him be buried in the Holy Land's cemetery. He has done a great service to the World Government."

"That old man from the Warring States period came over a few days ago, apparently to find him, right? Hmph, that guy who's pretending to be crazy, does he really think we can't detect that he's using Observation Haki to search everywhere?"

As they chatted, watching Luo's fluid surgical movements, they couldn't help but marvel at how exquisitely Luo had developed his Ope Ope no Mi (Op-Op Fruit) ability.

They had all undergone the same surgery and naturally understood the process of this anti-aging procedure. In comparison, Luo's operation appeared to be more outstanding.

Several tens of minutes passed, and the anti-aging surgery seemed to be coming to an end. At this moment, both Luo, who was undergoing the surgery, and the patient Greene on the operating table closed their eyes and entered a strange state.

The Five Elders waited anxiously. Satan suddenly spoke up, reminding them, "Gringu, you have one last chance to choose the body your soul wants to inhabit. If you want to keep your own body, stay still and wait for the surgery to complete. If you want a younger body, try to control your soul and consciousness, and through the connection of the surgical space, enter this navy brat's body. After the surgery, his soul and consciousness will be completely annihilated, and you will be the one who survives."

He seemed to have heard his reminder, but Greene didn't move, apparently choosing the former.

The Five Elders had expected this, as they had made the same choice in the first place.

Unless absolutely necessary, no one would replace a body they've lived in for decades. After all, once the anti-aging surgery is successful, one's vitality and energy will be inexhaustible. An aged appearance is just an illusion; the body's functions will actually become no different from those of a young person, or even stronger.

After another ten minutes or so, under the expectant gaze of the Five Elders, Gringu, who had kept his eyes closed for a long time, finally opened them.

As he awoke, Luo, who was standing before him, instantly lost all life force, collapsed to the ground, and died completely.

But when Gringu opened his eyes, they were full of energy, and his wrinkled old face was filled with a satisfied smile.

"How does it feel, Gringu? The taste of immortality?" Satan asked with a smile.

"Hahaha, so comfortable, so refreshing, like soaking in a warm hot spring. Vitality is flowing out of my body continuously, like returning to the youthful state of God Valley."

Unable to contain his joy, Gringu laughed and drew his rapier from his waist, slashing it towards the cliff of the Red Earth Continent not far away.

The next moment, a dazzling sword light flew out from the longsword in his hand, like a crescent moon in the sky, slicing diagonally across the earth. With a hiss, a crack hundreds of meters long cut through the cliff, and a rock the size of a small hill fell off the cliff and crashed into the sea of ​​the new world. A huge roar was heard long afterward.

Seeing this, the five elders finally relaxed completely and looked at each other and laughed.

They knew that Luo's anti-aging surgery had truly been a success.

Gringu sheathed his longsword, walked to the body of the dead Luo, suddenly bent down, and lifted him up from the ground.

Satan looked at him, puzzled. "Gringu, what are you doing?"

Gringu chuckled, "I owe my ability to enjoy the taste of immortality before I die of old age to this little fellow. So, I plan to give him a proper burial. Hmm, I'll bury him in my manor. That way, every time I wake up, I'll feel the beauty of immortality."

The five elders exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

Maz Saint clapped his hands and laughed, "Your idea coincides with our previous suggestion, hahaha, he should indeed be given a grand funeral. To celebrate your immortality, let's have a banquet tonight at the Holy City of Gold built by Tesoro. That Tesoro guy's entertainment center is quite interesting; it can make us feel young again."

"Alright, I will definitely be there."

Gringu left with a smile.

In the Fugaran family manor, Gringu placed Law's body on the ground and stared at it silently for a long time before waving his hand expressionlessly. An invisible space suddenly unfolded, and Law's body vanished instantly.

He raised his withered right hand, wrinkled yet brimming with strength, gazed at it for a long time, and murmured something like a dream.

"So this is... immortality..."

Outside, the Five Elders, in high spirits, were preparing to return to the Hall of Power when Sith, the former commander of CP0, strode over, bowed respectfully, and reported: "Sir, news has come from Egg Point Island that Vegapunk discovered York's intention to steal the Mother Spark and he has now been imprisoned by Vegapunk. The energy shield on Egg Point Island has been activated, and the Navy outside cannot enter."

“Vegapunk…” Satan’s eyes turned cold. He let out a heavy snort, gripped his cane, and walked out. “That guy really has no sense of propriety. The Mother Spark, humph, that was an infinite energy source developed with massive resources, thanks to our authorization. Its purpose was to power Uranus. We’ve already been lenient by not making him hand it over voluntarily. Since he’s so ungrateful, let’s kill him. Anyway, he shares a brain with his clone, and York shares the knowledge he possesses as well. To avoid any complications, I’ll personally go to Egg Point Island. Sith, contact Kizaru and tell him to wait at G1. I’m coming right now.”

"Yes, sir!" Sith respectfully accepted the order.

Meanwhile, in the new world, on Manbo Island.

The Kirin hovered at the edge of a bottomless, enormous void. On the deck, Lark, Bepo, Palmer, and Kirin walked to the bow and looked at the huge void ahead.

The enormous cavity in front of us, located in the center of the Wanbo Island sea area, is a huge circle with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. Its area is several times larger than that of the cavity on Judicial Island. The Kirin ship next to it is like a drop in the ocean.

Endless seawater poured into this enormous abyss from its edge, creating a deafening roar that had continued for days, yet there was no sign of it filling up.

After observing for a moment, Yun Que turned to Bei Bo and the others and said, "I'm going down to take a look. You guys stay here and watch the ship. Be careful not to let the Kirin be washed into the abyss by the sea."

Bepo quickly said, "Lieutenant General, I'll go down with you!"

Lark shook his head. "No need, Bepo. Of us, only you and I can fly. One of us must stay behind to watch the ship."

She sighed softly, "Even if we all went down, we probably wouldn't find Brother Rorschach. After all, Enel and the others have been searching here for three days. If they can't even find him, our hopes are even slimmer."

"Don't be discouraged, Lieutenant General. Just because they can't find him doesn't mean you can't. You and the General are of one mind; you'll definitely find him." Seeing Hibari's dejection, Bepo's eyes reddened, and he almost shed tears again.

"I hope so. No matter what, I won't give up." Yun Que nodded, took a deep breath, and flew off from the Kirin.

"Mom, I'll go with you!" Qilin leaped out of the warship and caught up with Yun Que using Moon Step.

Just as Yun Que was about to tell him to go back, Qilin said, "Mom, I am a clone of Dad's bloodline factor. I have his blood in my veins, so maybe we can sense each other's blood. Let's go down together and find Dad."

Looking at Qilin's tender yet resolute little face, Yun Que's eyes welled up with tears. She reached out and touched Qilin's head without refusing. She released a cloud of white clouds to support the two of them and they fell into the endless dark abyss below.

This dark abyss was tens of thousands of meters deep, seemingly extending deep into the earth's crust. The lark led the qilin down for a full ten minutes before finally reaching the bottom of the abyss.

It was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, except for a few scattered red lights in the distance. A surge of heat made the air below feel scorching, and the smell of sulfur filled your nostrils.

"Be careful, Qilin," Yun Que warned, creating a cloud to support the Qilin while she flew away, her body expanding and enlarging, surging forth with a large amount of flames, transforming into a fire goddess more than ten meters tall, illuminating the surrounding darkness with blazing flames.

Only then did the two of them finally see their surroundings clearly.

This is a basin that resembles a huge canyon, with long, narrow cracks everywhere on the ground and countless crisscrossing gullies, like wrinkles on an old man's face.

Looking up from here, all you can see is a blank space about the size of a well opening.

If it weren't for the lark's ability to release fiery clouds that illuminated the surroundings, being in this endless abyss of darkness would definitely feel like being completely detached from the real world, as if one had arrived in the depths of hell.

Not far away, seawater poured down from above, forming a waterfall with no end in sight, making a deafening roar as it crashed against the ground.

The lark finally understood why the seawater couldn't fill the cavity.

Because all the seawater that poured down flowed along the cracks in the ground and into the deeper layers of rock.

The lark flew down and got closer, looking at the ravines, canyons, cracks, and holes all over the ground, and felt a chill in its heart.

"Could it be that Brother Luo Xia... fell into the depths of these cracks?"

Thinking about it carefully, even Rorschach would likely be severely injured, if not killed, under the bombardment of that terrifying beam of light. And if the severely injured Rorschach were to be submerged by the cascading seawater, he might lose his strength and be swept away by the seawater into some crevice, falling into the bottomless depths of the rock strata.

At the bottom of this enormous cavity, which is more than ten kilometers in diameter, there are countless bottomless rock fissures, and it is unknown how deep underground these countless fissures lead.

With the interference of the seawater, not to mention the two of them, even Enel, whose Observation Haki was second only to Rorschach, searched for three days and three nights without finding any trace of Rorschach.

Despite the harsh reality, Yun Que, along with Qi Lin, searched for hours in the dark abyss, traversing every corner of its depths. The result was devastating: they found no trace of Luo Xia, not even a single clue.

"Let's go up." Yun Que said dejectedly, and flew upwards with Qilin.

Looking at Yun Que's silent face illuminated by the firelight, Qilin felt sad and wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say. After all, he was just a clone. Although he had feelings, he still didn't know how to express these complex emotions.

"Mom, you should have Dad's life paper, right? I heard that the life paper can point to a person's location. Why don't you take out the life paper and take a look?" After thinking for a long time, Qilin said softly.
