One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Such arrogance! Who do you think you are? What do you take us for? Those pirate minions who died at your hands? Don't be so cocky, Lan Lin!"

Sabo, annoyed by Rorschach's cold tone when speaking to Dragon, said angrily.

The others, such as Raven, Lindbergh, and Jasmine, did not speak, but their thoughts were largely the same as Sabo's.

Rorschach's words were too arrogant, as if he didn't take Dragon or the other high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Army seriously at all.

"Sabo, calm down." Dragon stopped Sabo, not showing much emotion despite Rorschach's rudeness. He looked at Rorschach, "What if you find out I'm not?"

Rorschach didn't take them seriously at all. He just looked at Dragon and continued in a calm voice, "If you are truly fighting for those suffering people at the bottom of society, as your Revolutionary Army ideals suggest, and if you truly want to save this world and make it a better place, then after we defeat the World Government, I will hand this world over to the Revolutionary Army and the Navy to govern together."

"After taking down the World Government, you'll hand this world over to us and the Navy to govern together?" Ivankov was at a loss for words, taken aback by Rorschach's nonchalant tone.

If Rorschach's previous statement about killing them all was arrogant, then his current claim of eliminating the World Government is the height of arrogance. To the point that their initial anger at Rorschach's words has now turned into a feeling of looking at a madman.

Only Dorrag seemed somewhat moved.

He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "I can show you my memories, without reservation. But I need you to prove to me that you have the ability to deal with the World Government."

"Leader!" Sabo and the others were shocked, wondering why Dragon would do this.

In their eyes, Luo Xia at this moment was simply an incomprehensible madman, spouting nothing but arrogant and conceited words.

They didn't believe Rorschach could do what countless people hadn't been able to do in eight hundred years, but Dragon was different.

He wasn't entirely disbelieving.

The stronger one is, the more one can sense the terror of Rorschach before them.

Sabo and Sanji could only sense Rorschach's overwhelming aura, which is why they dared to attack him. It's like an ant seeing an elephant as a terrifying being, yet not being afraid because the difference in power is too great.

But he was different. In Dragon's Observation Haki perception, Rorschach at this moment was like a blazing sun, or a thunderous agglomeration filled with destructive energy.

Facing Rorschach at this moment, he felt as if he were facing Garp in his prime when he was a child—an unattainable level of power.

Rorschach's terror has exceeded Dragon's understanding of the limits of the strength of the world's powerful beings.

Even if Roger, Whitebeard, or Garp were reborn, they would be no match for Rorschach at this moment.

While Dragon was still pondering the credibility of Rorschach's words, the Five Elders were enraged by them.

In Rorschach's hands, Satan's head grew rapidly, with countless pieces of flesh converging from all directions and merging into his head, quickly restoring his demonic body.

He glared at Luo Xia with resentment and anger, his wide eyes filled with white, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

"Rorschach! Do you even know what you're saying? Destroy the World Government? Is that your true purpose hidden deep in your heart? You traitor!"

Nasujuro Seiya, holding the First Generation Kitetsu, approached, his killing intent surging, and pointed his long sword at Rorschach.

"We thought you were a loyal and outstanding Marine, but now we see you're no different from that old man Zephyr. You two are both traitors to the World Government and the Marines!"

"Why bother talking to him so much? Let's attack together and kill him! Since he didn't die on Wanbo Island, let's kill him here." Maz Saint, in his avatar Itsumade, flew over, black flames spewing from his wide-open beak, shooting straight at Rorschach.

The Great Boar Worm Saint and the Sandworm Saint Pit Saint, one charging from the ground and the other burrowing underground, rapidly approached.

In an instant, Luo Xia was surrounded by the Five Elders on all sides, even the ground beneath his feet. The combined attack from the five giant beasts came fiercely!

"Rorschach! I..." Kizaru gritted his teeth, moved, and was about to rush up to support Rorschach.

But in the next instant, a terrifying force, as if the heavens were about to collapse, suddenly erupted from Luo Xia's towering body.

He made his move.

With a slap forward of his right hand, which was wreathed in lightning and flames, the Great Boar Worch, whose body was so hard that even the mighty Dorrag could not break it, exploded into a bloody pulp with a thunderous roar.

Ahead of Rorschach, half of Egg Point Island exploded, leaving a handprint several kilometers in diameter on the ground. Most of the sand worm Pitsaint's body, which had burrowed into the ground, was also affected and blasted into dust.

In the sky, Itsumade, soaring and spewing black flames, was thrown back by the violent impact. The black flames he spat out flew back and enveloped his body. The huge bird body twisted in the impact, turning into an elongated meteor, and disappeared irresistibly into the sky above Egg Point Island.

“You…” Satan, who was closest to Rorschach, was not attacked by Rorschach immediately. He looked at the terrifying scene before him, at the Saints Vochuli and Pitt who were instantly blown apart by Rorschach, and the Saint Maz who was sent flying to an unknown distance. Fear appeared in his eyes, and his heart almost stopped.

Rorschach's performance was truly terrifying, almost like that of a god or demon.

He was shocked and terrified, but Nassuro Sei didn't say a word. His body sank, and a phantom pentagram array appeared beneath him. His entire body quickly faded and disappeared.

Seeing this, Satan also wanted to leave through the teleportation array, but Luo Xia's cold, godlike gaze had already fallen on him.

At that moment, Satan's thoughts froze.

The world before his eyes suddenly went dark. Luo Xia's huge hand, as if the sky had collapsed, slapped him across the face, and his massive, newly formed and restored demonic body shattered once again.

For Satan, this explosion meant utter annihilation and death!

Countless tiny bolts of electricity spread from Rorschach's palm, connecting to every fragment of Satan's shattered body. In his terrified and desperate screams, his body and consciousness, like rivers flowing into the sea, were drawn in by these bolts of electricity and entered Rorschach's body.

Immediately afterward, to the astonishment and shock of Kizaru, Dragon, and the others, Rorschach bent down and slammed his fist into the ground beneath him, blasting a hole hundreds of meters in diameter. With a deafening roar, he grabbed a sandworm from the ground, now only having a head left, crushed it, and devoured it in an instant.

After doing all this, many scarlet blood vessels appeared in his cold, azure eyes, and his aura became even more violent and terrifying.

"Rorschach, you...you..." In the illusory pentagram array, Nassuro Sei, who was rapidly disappearing, looked at Rorschach in horror, his lips trembling for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.

Then, to his even greater horror, Luo Xia took a step forward and actually struck him with a palm as he was using the teleportation array to quickly leave and return to the holy land.

"Ten Billion Volts! A Grand Burial for the Heavens!"

Chapter 840 The Final Battle

A few moments earlier, a dozen kilometers away from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, two tall men ascended to the top of the Red Earth continent under the watchful eyes of the Holy Land's guards.

Their way of reaching the Red Line was quite unique. They didn't take an elevator like ordinary people, nor did they climb up by hand like Fisher Taig, who stormed the Holy Land to rescue slaves. Instead, they descended from the sky in the direction of the New World, stepping on a flying rock.

"It's a Devil Fruit user with a flight-type ability!" The guards were on high alert, gripping their guns tightly, releasing the safety, and pointing the dark muzzles at the newcomer.

As the first line of defense protecting the world's nobles, the Holy Land Guards are armed with the World Government's most advanced fully automatic firearms. Many guards even wield rotating Gatling guns. The bullets they use are the latest research results from the Research Department. The compressed ammunition has astonishing power when fired, comparable to artillery.

Among the various types of bullets loaded, there are also Seastone bullets specifically designed to deal with ability users.

Not only that, but a dozen tall pacifists stood out like cranes among chickens in the guard formation, their hands and mouths, capable of firing lasers, locked onto the enemy.

Even though they were armed to the teeth, they were still so nervous that sweat beaded on their foreheads and their muscles were taut, because they had recognized the person who had come.

"It's former Marine Admiral Aokiji, and the new Straw Hat Pirates' vice-captain, the blind swordsman Ikki!"

A squad leader swallowed hard, suppressing his panic, and stepped forward through gritted teeth. Just as he was about to fulfill his duty and order the two people in front of him to leave, he saw that among the two people surrounded by dozens of them, Qingzhi's thin body was emanating wisps of white cold air, while Yixiao opened his scarred and ferocious eyes, facing the location of the holy land, and drew his staff-sword towards the sky above.

"Not good! Fire!" Seeing the two men's movements, the squad leader's heart sank, and he shouted hoarsely as his face changed drastically.

But as soon as he uttered his voice, a tsunami-like chill emanated from Aokiji, engulfing the surrounding red earthen continent.

In an instant, dozens of Holy Land Guards, including the squad leader, were turned into ice sculptures, frozen by the thick layer of ice.

Meanwhile, as Yixiao drew his sword, rings of purple light flew out from the staff-sword in his hand and spread towards the sky above.

After completing their tasks, Issho and Aokiji did not linger but instead strode towards Mary Geoise, which was faintly visible in the distance. As they progressed, an ice path rapidly unfolded in all directions, freezing the Holy Land guards who had rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

Within the Holy Land, in the Golden City built by the Golden Emperor Tesoro at great expense, the Celestial Dragons indulged in the pleasures of various slaves, unable to extricate themselves from the flattery of their servants and the indulgence of wine and women.

On the high platform, Tesoro, dressed in magnificent clothes, tall and with his hair meticulously combed, was personally holding the microphone and singing a melodious and moving song.

Under his magnetic voice, the song, with its ordinary lyrics and simple composition, seemed to come alive. His singing was like a gentle stream flowing into the hearts of the surrounding listeners, making them involuntarily immerse themselves in it, moved by the song's artistic conception, and listening with rapt attention.

Influenced by Tezzoro's singing, even his not-so-handsome face seemed to become radiant.

Tesoro stood on the stage, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, a humble smile that seemed to radiate warmth. But behind his dark sunglasses, his eyes held no trace of amusement. He looked down at the Celestial Dragons below, dressed in gold-trimmed white robes, wearing bubble hoods, adorned with all sorts of luxurious jewelry, surrounded by black suits and slaves. He looked at Charmaco Saint, surrounded by beautiful wives, his eyes filled with disgust and indifference.

"It's time to bring this grand performance to a close."

Suddenly, a thought popped into Tesoro's mind.

He recalled the collaboration he had made with Rorschach on the golden ship.

Initially, his compromises were mostly due to Rorschach's domineering attitude. He didn't really believe that Rorschach would actually do as the cooperation agreement stated, one day storm the Holy Land, overthrow the World Government's rule, and hand over the culprit Charmaco Saint who killed Stella to him for punishment.

After all, Rorschach is a Marine, and what he did on the Golden Ship was all for the safety of the Celestial Dragons.

However, it would be completely unnecessary to say that what Rorschach said back then was all a lie. Because what Rorschach said was something that couldn't be brought to light. If the World Government found out, even if he was Vice Admiral Bluescale, who was at the height of his prestige in the Navy at the time, he would still be arrested and executed.

Therefore, perhaps because of the guilt he always felt towards Stella deep in his heart, Tesoro inexplicably agreed to Rorschach's cooperation.

After that, he used the enormous profits of the Golden City as leverage to sell himself to the World Government and successfully obtained semi-permanent residency in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Upon entering the Holy Land, Tesoro used his exceptional business acumen and shrewd mind to rebuild the Golden City, ten or even a hundred times more luxurious than the Golden Ship. He won the Celestial Dragons' friendship by offering them the pleasures and entertainment they craved. Although this friendship seemed insincere and condescending, it's undeniable that his deliberate flattery greatly lowered the Celestial Dragons' guard against him.

Meanwhile, corrupted by Tesoro's vast wealth, many of the Holy Land Guards, the Navy, and even members of the Knights of God's Order responsible for guarding the Holy Land became his long-term bribery targets.

When everyone from the Celestial Dragons to their guards lowered their guard against Tesoro, this generous and thrifty man, the harmonious scene before us came about.

The Celestial Dragons, who always prioritized their own safety, gathered unsuspectingly in his entertainment venue, the distance between them no more than ten meters. Meanwhile, the guards surrounding them paid no heed to the fact that Tesoro had once been one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, each one slacking off behind their master, enjoying the same wine, women, and entertainment that their masters were indulging in.

They never imagined that at this distance, if Tesoro wanted to launch an attack, even powerful figures like the Knights of God and the Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy in the Holy Land wouldn't be able to appear in time to save their masters, the noble Celestial Dragons.

At that moment, none of the audience members could have imagined the terrifying murderous intent surfacing within the man standing on the high platform, who had always presented himself with a gentle and humble demeanor.

Rorschach, who had cooperated with Tesoro, has been confirmed dead by the World Government. There is no longer any need for him to stay here and feign compliance with these disgusting guys.

"As expected, relying on others is ultimately unreliable. In the end, I have to end all of this myself." Tesoro smiled smugly at this thought. Under the astonished gazes of the Celestial Dragons below the stage, he suddenly tossed aside the microphone he was holding, raised his hands, and quietly stared at the only empty ring finger among his ten fingers, the one without a gold ring.

“Stella… I haven’t changed. I, Gild Tezzo, will always be the same boy who sang for you outside your cage! Let the blood of these fat pigs bear witness to our love!”

His lowered face slowly rose, and the vengeful flames in his eyes burst forth, transforming into dazzling golden divine fire. Under the watchful eyes of the Celestial Dragons, Holy Land guards, World Government officials, and CP agents who had not yet recovered from their shock, the fire pierced through the eyes of Charmaco Saint, who was standing at the forefront. Two straight golden flames pierced through Charmaco's bubble hood without hesitation, entered his eyes, passed through his skull, and shot out from the back of his head, moving forward and piercing through all the Celestial Dragons, guards, and slaves in a straight line behind him.

The change came too suddenly. The Holy Land guards and CP agents protecting the Celestial Dragons didn't even have time to react before they saw two dazzling golden lines of fire pierce through dozens of people. The stench of burning flesh and blood quickly filled the luxurious VIP suite filled with the scent of expensive perfumes.

"Damn it! Tesoro!! What are you doing?"

The guards reacted swiftly; after only a moment of stunned silence, they roared in fury, their faces contorted in shock, and charged towards Tesoro on the platform. Some even recklessly rushed towards the Celestial Dragons they were protecting. If anything happened to a Celestial Dragon, these guards would certainly face certain death.

"Hahahaha, what am I doing? Of course, I'm listening to the most beautiful song in the world, a supreme symphony woven from the cries and screams of my enemies! Ladies and gentlemen, sing for me to the fullest! Hahahaha!" Tesoro grinned, spread his arms, and made a gesture as if conducting an orchestra, laughing maniacally. The magnificent golden walls around him collapsed, turning into flowing gold that surged like a tide into the chaotic audience.

This place truly lives up to its reputation as a holy land. Although the walls of this high-end VIP suite built by Tesoro are entirely made of thick gold, they cannot withstand the powerful individuals with strong Observation Haki within the holy land.

Less than five seconds after the shocking incident in the room, roars echoed throughout the holy land, followed by figures bursting with explosive energy and boundless fury shooting towards the scene.

"Tezzoro! Stop! You bastard, what do you think you're doing?"

"I already told you I was listening to music!"

Ignoring the roar that crashed in like a shockwave, Tesoro's smile grew even more unrestrained.

He stepped down from the platform and entered the ocean of surging liquid gold. He casually summoned a wisp of flowing gold, which, under his control, transformed into a gold ring, which he slowly placed on his ring finger.

Before Tesoro, golden liquid surged and condensed into a familiar figure with a gentle smile. He slowly reached out and gently stroked the face of the golden statue. The madness in his eyes dissipated, and a tenderness that had disappeared for many years appeared.

He murmured, "Stella, I love you, please be...my wife."

With his final whisper, the luxurious VIP suite, encased in thick golden walls, suddenly exploded, unleashing a series of violent and powerful auras that surged toward him. Among them were Akainu, Kong, and Gringu, the commander of the Knights of God.
