One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

However, the moment these powerful individuals managed to break through the suite, the surging golden liquid inside reacted violently and exploded.

A ball of wildly expanding golden divine fire was generated in the explosion, and the high temperature and pressure of thousands of degrees swept in all directions, blasting the Celestial Dragons, Holy Land guards, and CP agents who were in this cage-like golden chamber into charred fragments.

The terrifying explosion struck Akainu and the others who had rushed over, sending them flying dozens of meters before they came to a stop.

When the surging impact quickly dissipated, the group's faces turned extremely grim when they saw the completely vanished golden suite and the scattered remains of flesh and blood on the ground.

However, before the group could erupt in fury at the sudden change, a fiery red light shone in the sky above, illuminating the entire holy land.

As Akainu and the others looked up, their pupils contracted, reflecting the flames that appeared in the sky.

In just a few seconds, those barely perceptible tiny flames grew rapidly, like candles being blown on with great force.

When the flames became clear, the group realized that they were not flames at all, but huge meteorites with long trails of flame, rolling across the sky like chariots, accompanied by a rumbling, shaking sound, all falling towards Pangu City.

"It's an enemy attack! Quickly activate the energy shield!" Kong shouted in a deep voice.

"It's too late. The meteorites' falling speed has been deliberately accelerated, so we can only shatter them."

As Akainu spoke, a large amount of black smoke and red light suddenly emerged from his right arm, and scalding magma appeared on his body. He then unleashed a Meteor Volcano in the opposite direction to intercept the meteorite that was about to fall into the sky.

However, his actions were stopped by a member of the Order of the Gods named Mameyer.

"Stop! Akainu! Do you want to destroy the Holy Land? We need to shatter the meteorite, not create more volcanic bombs!"

Mamaye glared at Akainu, then followed Gringu and leaped into the sky, showing no fear of the falling meteors. She drew her longsword and unleashed a furious slash. The other powerful members of the Divine Knights also joined the fray, unleashing a barrage of ferocious attacks.

Sora and Akainu exchanged a glance, then ascended into the air using Moonwalk to intercept the meteor.

But at that moment, a surging cold wave rushed in from outside the holy land, like a tsunami, and poured into the holy land. The air and the earth were quickly frozen and enveloped by the silvery-white ice layer. Two tall figures rushed over at lightning speed, carrying an undisguised and intense killing intent.

"It's Aokiji and Issho, those arrogant traitors and pirates who dare to attack the Holy Land? Knights of God, listen to my command! Kill them!" Gringu ordered, his face ashen.

Immediately, several powerful members of the God Knights, whose auras were not much weaker than Akainu's, abandoned their efforts to shatter the meteorite and instead rushed towards Aokiji and Issho, who were charging towards the pilgrimage site.

A fierce battle quickly unfolded on the edge of the Holy Land. Aokiji and Issho, who had come with a death wish, seeking only to settle scores with the World Government, fought with a desperate, all-or-nothing style. Even though the Knights of God outnumbered them several times over, they couldn't defeat them quickly. Instead, due to their age and declining health, they lost one member early in the battle due to carelessness in the combined attack of Aokiji and Issho.

Enraged, Gringu, after shattering most of the meteorites, led Akainu, Kong, and the remaining powerful members of the Knights of God to personally attack Aokiji and Issho.

When the old rivals met again, Akainu showed no mercy, unleashing deadly magma attacks aimed directly at Aokiji's vitals.

Surrounded by more than ten top-tier fighters, the two only lasted a few minutes before being severely injured, losing their fighting ability, and collapsing to the ground.

Aokiji lay on the ground covered in blood, looking at Akainu, who was chewing on a cigar with a cold expression, and shook his head.

"Akainu, you really haven't surprised me. From beginning to end, you've been a loyal dog. In your eyes, you don't even care about Rorschach's death? Is your justice just being an accomplice to evil?"

Akainu didn't respond to him. He walked up to Issho, raised his molten lava fist, and looked down at Issho, who was barely breathing.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

With a panting laugh, the scar on his eye twitched, he calmly said, "Make your move, Akainu. I'm a man of my word. I lost this time, betting my life on Luffy. But your Navy didn't win either. The World Government destroyed your own 'Sun God' with its own hands. It's a huge irony that a man like Rorschach didn't die at the hands of pirates, but at the hands of your own people."

Akainu remained expressionless. After Ikko finished speaking, he unleashed a punch that blasted Ikko, who had abandoned his defenses, into a charred corpse.

The members of the Knights of God watched this scene indifferently. After Akainu killed Ikki, they turned their murderous eyes to Aokiji.

Mamayer looked at Gringu, "What do we do with this guy? Should we just kill him?"

Gringu's eyes flickered. After a moment's thought, he shook his head slightly and looked towards the Hall of Power. "No, I want to take him to see the Five Elders and let them decide his fate."

As he spoke, he walked directly toward Aokiji, intending to grab him and take him to the Five Elders.

Just then, a huge, illusory pentagram appeared out of thin air on the ground in front of them. To their bewilderment, Nasu Shoulang, whose lower body had transformed into a giant skeletal horse, emerged from the pentagram, his usually calm face now filled with horror.

Before Greene and the others could ask any questions, Nassuro Sei let out a scream.

"Get out of the way!"

The next instant, an indescribably terrifying and violent shock burst forth from the faded pentagram array and crashed down upon Pangu City, directly shattering the body of Nasshoulang Saint who was blocking the pentagram array.

Pangu City, which had stood atop this red earth continent for eight hundred years, was shattered into dust by this massive shockwave.

"What kind of power is this?" Kong stared at the devastating scene before him, speechless with shock.

Akainu and Grindelwald remained motionless, their eyes fixed on a towering figure that stood faintly within the rapidly fading pentagram array.

"That's... Rorschach?"

Chapter 841 Traveling Alone

On Egg Point Island.

As the pentagram array faded and disappeared, reflecting the ruins of Pangaea, Dragon, Kizaru, and the others were utterly shocked by the unparalleled power displayed by Rorschach.

From the moment Rorschach launched his attack on the Five Elders to the end of the battle, only a few seconds passed—it was practically the blink of an eye. The Five Elders, who were as powerful as monsters and had remained unscathed in their long confrontation with Dragon, fled in terror before Rorschach like stray dogs.

Not only that, they also clearly sensed that the life force of Satan the Bull Demon and Saint Pit the Sandworm among the Five Elders had been completely annihilated. Those undead monsters with almost inexhaustible vitality, monsters that could not be harmed no matter how powerful Dragon's binding attacks were, were killed on the spot by Rorschach without even lasting a breath.

At this moment, Ivankov and the revolutionary army commanders behind him, who were utterly shocked by the scene before them, no longer mocked Rorschach's previous arrogant words.

The man before them was undeniably powerful. Even their leader, Dragon, known as the world's most notorious criminal, would be no match for him. He was a being so powerful that he could instill despair in any opponent, a being as powerful as a god.

As Rorschach's body gradually shrank and he returned to his normal human form, draped in a cloak of justice, Sabo and Sanji felt utterly dejected. Their desire for revenge against Rorschach cooled down as if doused with ice water.

They knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they would probably never have the chance to avenge Luffy and Ace.

Dragon looked at Rorschach, who was still young but whose eyes held a world-weary look, with a complicated expression. He sighed inwardly and asked in a deep voice, "How do you intend to examine my memories?"

However, Rorschach on the other side said, "I've already seen it."

"What?" Dragon was stunned.

Unbeknownst to him, the moment he made his decision and lowered his guard, Rorschach's immense soul, which was so powerful that it was actually oppressing his own body, had already used the techniques he had obtained from Ryder, as if he possessed the power of the Memory Fruit, to directly access all of Dragon's past memories.

At this moment, Dorrag had no secrets left for Rorschach; his past and thoughts were completely known to Rorschach.

In fact, not only him, but Rorschach also thoroughly investigated the memories of everyone present except Kizaru.

This seemingly unbelievable ability is no longer surprising to Rorschach now.

Back then, in Uta's world of songs, he simultaneously went through the memories of millions of people, exploring and perceiving them batch by batch. In just a few hours, he accurately selected the most heinous criminals from among billions of people.

The reason why Rorschach couldn't sense Dragon and Kizaru was because their Haki was strong enough to temporarily block Rorschach's detection.

Of course, if Rorschach wanted to forcibly probe their memories, it wouldn't be impossible. He could easily defeat them first and strike when their domineering aura weakened. With his current strength, he could do it easily. But he didn't. Although Rorschach's emotions had gradually become indifferent after absorbing too many complex souls, they weren't completely lost. His memories were still there, his humanity was still there, only now he had less sentimentality and hesitation, becoming more rational and decisive.

Upon hearing that Rorschach had accessed all of his memories, Dragon's expression grew increasingly complex. He didn't believe Rorschach was lying. But the more he did, the more powerful Rorschach seemed, far exceeding his comprehension. This being, whose individual strength was as formidable as a god, might truly be able to do, as Rorschach claimed, what countless people hadn't accomplished in eight hundred years—to resolve the issue of the world government that was exploiting this planet.

Thinking this through, Dragon no longer hesitated. As if he had made up his mind, he looked at Rorschach again and asked, "Since you have seen my memories, you should know that my determination is not false. Rorschach, judging from your actions against the Five Elders just now, I'm afraid you have decided to stand against the World Government, right? In that case, let's cooperate. I can lead the entire Revolutionary Army to help you fight against the World Government together."

He saw hope and didn't want to give up, watching the opportunity to destroy the world government slip away from him.

Behind him, Sabo and the others who had gathered together had complicated expressions upon hearing this, but they did not interrupt or refute after Dragon made his decision, and instead remained silent.

Even Sabo, who hated Rorschach to the core, knew that if Rorschach were truly willing to cooperate with the Revolutionary Army to fight against the World Government, perhaps the cause that the Revolutionary Army had fought for for decades would really have a chance to achieve victory in the near future.

For him, compared to destroying the world government and saving countless oppressed people around the world, his personal grudges and affections could be put aside for the time being.

"No rush. You will come with me to G5. I don't have much time left. I need to make some arrangements before heading to Mary Geoise."

Rorschach's answer surprised Dragon.

He wasn't hesitant because Rorschach said he wanted to go to G5 with him, but rather because Rorschach's words indicated a limited amount of time, which made him suspicious.

However, seeing that Rorschach didn't seem inclined to explain further, Dragon didn't press the matter.

He glanced at Kuma and Vegapunk not far away, and the last trace of doubt in his heart dissipated. Their purpose in coming to Egg Point Island was to rescue Kuma and Vegapunk, and now that neither of them was in mortal danger, their mission could be considered perfectly accomplished.

With Vegapunk's help, Dragon believed that even if the future was as cruel as Vegapunk had initially predicted, they would be able to prepare for the impending disaster in advance.

After talking with Dragon, Rorschach approached Kizaru.

"Uncle Borsalino, since you've made up your mind, come with me to G5. The future of this world needs you."

Seeing Kizaru's hesitant expression, a smile from Kizaru's memory appeared on Luo Xia's usually indifferent face.

For some reason, seeing Rorschach's smile, Kizaru suddenly felt a pang of sadness. He quickly pulled out his sunglasses from his pocket, casually put them on, and pouted, saying, "If you fail, can I tell Saint Satan that I was forced by you?"

“Satan is dead, Uncle, you are free.”

Rorschach chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, brushing past the frozen Kizaru before arriving at Sentomaru, who was covered in blood and looked utterly wretched. A crackling light appeared in his hand as he placed it on Sentomaru's broad shoulder. Sentomaru felt a warm current flow from Rorschach's palm into his body, his injuries healing rapidly and the pain quickly disappearing.

“Luo Xia, it’s so good to see you’re alright. I thought you…” He started to say something, but Luo Xia patted his shoulder.

"Go to G5, Sentomaru. The future of this world needs you too."

Sentomaru's round, chubby face froze in joy. Looking at Luo Xia's tall back, he suddenly felt that Luo Xia's back looked somewhat desolate, which made him ask in a hoarse voice, "And you, Luo Xia?"

Luo Xia paused, but without turning around, said gently, "I will send you to the future."

"Rorschach, it seems you've truly reached the level I described back then, surpassing even the awakening of fruits to reach the realm of mythical beasts, the realm of gods. Could you spare some blood for me to study? Perhaps I can use your bloodline factors to create an even more perfect Seraphim."

Lilith, covered in dust and looking somewhat disheveled, stared at Rorschach with shining eyes, as if she were looking at a rare treasure.

"No problem, you can have as many as you want."

Rorschach reached out and, to Lilith's surprise, placed his hand on her head, ruffling it vigorously and making her short hair a mess.

Lilith angrily slapped away Rorschach's large hand, put her hands on her hips, and was about to say something when she saw Rorschach wave his hand at the seven Seraphim who had stopped attacking them since his arrival. A burst of shattered lightning entered the Seraphim's bodies, as if shattering some device inside them. The seven Seraphim's usually indifferent and ruthless starry eyes suddenly changed, gradually turning into normal human pupils.

The stiff expressions on their faces became more vivid, and their gazes toward Luo Xia and the surrounding crowd held complex emotions that they had not shown before.

Luo Xia said calmly to the seven snake women, "From today onwards, you are free. But remember this freedom I am giving you comes with conditions. When that global catastrophe arrives, you must contribute your strength without reservation until the catastrophe is over. Do you agree?"

The seven seraphim exchanged glances, nodded in unison, and, under the strange and astonished gazes of Sabo and the others, knelt down on one knee before Rorschach, bowed their heads, and said in unison, "We have no objections, Father."

Rorschach's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. He maintained his serious expression, nodded indifferently, and then waved his hand. The air surged, transforming into an invisible barrier that lifted everyone on the island into the air, carrying them away under the gazing gazes of the Marines at headquarters.

Lilith noticed the changes in the Seraphim, her mouth agape as she looked at Rorschach in astonishment, "Rorschach, how did you do that? You...you removed the control permissions from their bodies?"

Rorschach didn't answer. Lilith wanted to ask more, but Rorschach pulled out a clump of blood encased in an air shield and stuffed it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up as she walked aside to study it.

Under Rorschach's electromagnetic control, the submarine, carrying him and Dorag and others, weighing hundreds of tons and still able to break through multiple sound barriers, flying at supersonic speeds in the sky like a missile, traversed thousands of miles of sea in less than an hour, arriving at G5 from Egg Point Island.

When the dozen or so people stepped off the submarine, they were all astonished to find that G5 Island was floating tens of thousands of meters above the sea, like a flying continent. From a distance, the island was shrouded in clouds and mist, appearing magnificent and awe-inspiring.

"It's the Float-Float Fruit power, Rorschach. You had Zephyr send G5 Island into the sky, was it to avoid the World Government's Ancient Weapons?"

While the others were still in awe of the floating G5 island, Dragon had a vague idea of ​​why the island in front of him had been sent into the sky by Zephyr from the ocean of the New World.

Just thinking about Manpo Island, which was destroyed and turned into a bottomless abyss, Dragon could imagine how terrifying the destructive power of the ancient weapon in the hands of the World Government must be.

In the intelligence gathered by the Revolutionary Army regarding the events before and after the giant beam of light struck Manbo Island, the Revolutionary Army's staff summarized some speculations about that mysterious weapon.

First, the enormous beam of light shot down from the depths of the sky at an incredibly fast speed, so fast that even powerful beings like Rorschach and Barrett couldn't react. Before the beam struck, the sky shone with a light as bright as the sun, appearing from afar as if a god had opened his eyes and was looking down upon the world from above.
