One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Amidst the swirling sandstorm, a tall man appeared before the army, alone, facing thousands of soldiers at the base entrance.

"I can handle all of you scum who are hiding everywhere by myself."

The man raised his hand and took off his military cap, revealing a head of gray hair and a face as hard as if it had been carved by a knife and axe.

He casually tossed aside his military cap, clenched his right fist, which was gloved in black, and immediately a blinding red light emanated from his tall body, accompanied by billowing black smoke, forming a mushroom cloud that shot straight into the sky.

"Although times have changed and we've worked together before, isn't there any room for negotiation? Why must we be driven to the brink of extermination?"

"Akainu!"

A burly old man shouted in a cold voice.

Akainu didn't answer, but raised his right arm, which was glowing red and emitting black smoke, and pointed it at them from hundreds of meters away.

Another burly old man snorted coldly, and his whole body was quickly enveloped in a layer of twisted, dark, domineering flames, like an angry lion. He stomped the ground beneath him and charged towards the red dog who was poised to attack.

"Why waste words with him! As a fellow governor, does he really think that the strength of a naval admiral can crush an army admiral? Coming alone is just asking for death. Let's all attack and kill him! We can seize his naval headquarters and maybe even use this opportunity to rebuild the World Government!"

"Boom!"

Before he finished speaking, a massive torrent of magma erupted from the man's right hand like a volcanic eruption, instantly cascading down like a fiery tsunami, engulfing the entire land. At that moment, the entire red earth continent beneath their feet trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

"Meteor Volcano!"

Several tens of minutes later, on the ruins of the base that had been reduced to rubble, Akainu pulled a long sword that had been stuck in his abdomen with a thud. He strode forward expressionlessly, continuing alone along the red earth continent that stretched across the entire planet.

Behind him was a lava lake simmering with corpses and blood.

As the sandstorm rose, his silhouette quickly became blurred.

In the New World, on an island, a giant polar bear over five meters tall gazed at the desolate, ancient primeval forest before him. Turning to the rabbit-eared girl perched on his shoulder, he said, "Carrot, I've decided! I'll rebuild the Fluffy Kingdom right here! Trust me, I'll be a great king!"

"Yes! I believe you!" The bunny-eared girl hugged the blushing, grinning polar bear tightly.

In Wano Country, atop Mount Fuji, a white-haired woman with two horns on her head leads a little girl toward a dilapidated land that is gradually coming back to life.

"Ayu, let's protect this country together!"

"I will do my best, Lord Tenki!"

Elbaf Giant Village.

With a deafening roar, the short, stout Prince Loki was slammed into the face by a giant fist. He screamed and flew through the air, tumbling for thousands of meters before crashing heavily into a mountain, creating a huge crater.

A colossal, godlike figure pinned a naginata to the ground and roared to the heavens.

"From this day forward, I am the king of this country!"

On Juice Island in the Tottoland Sea, a middle-aged man with three knives hanging from his waist smiled and said to a group of children sitting in front of him, "Listen up, everyone. In this world, there are long knives that can easily cut through steel, and there are long knives that can't cut through anything. Now, is anyone going to come up and demonstrate for everyone?"

In the East China Sea, a ship with a sunflower-shaped prow slowly docked in front of a large floating dock. A middle-aged chef with curly eyebrows smiled warmly at the guests who had come to witness the ceremony and said, "Welcome to the Baratie floating restaurant. As you can see, we have added a new ship-themed restaurant called 'The Sunny'."

In front of a church by the sea in the South China Sea, a mature and elegant girl sat on a reef, resting her chin on her hand and gazing at the sea in a daze for a long time. Suddenly, she stood up, looked at her fair arm, and waved it forward.

Nothing... happened.

Her arms did not grow huge, did not turn into rubber, and did not become giant arms covered in scales.

Bonnie, dinner's ready.

Behind me came a gentle voice, slightly aged.

The girl turned around and saw a sturdy figure sitting at the church entrance.

The disappointment in her eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a bright smile, and she jogged over.

"What are we having for dinner today, Dad?"

"The oarfish was just caught this morning."

"Great, it must taste delicious!"

"Then you must eat more food, so you can grow up faster."

"I'm almost thirty years old, Dad!"

"Hehe, is that so? Well, you should eat your fill then."

North Sea!

Red Leaf Island, Kingdom of Lubnero.

The island, uninhabited for many years, is now mostly submerged by lush vegetation.

On the beach, a tall woman carries a bamboo basket in one hand, her bare feet treading on the soft sand, picking up seashells of various colors along the coastline.

As the sun sets, the sea breeze lifts the strands of hair that fall across the woman's forehead, revealing a gentle face.

"Lark! Stop picking it up, it's getting dark, be careful not to fall into the sea. Come back and eat, I've prepared the food."

Suddenly, a gentle male voice came from in front of a small wooden house by the bamboo forest in the distance.

Yun Que turned around and saw a young man with white hair and blue eyes standing in front of the wooden house, waving in their direction.

A sweet smile appeared on her face. She responded from afar, lifted the hem of her skirt, picked up the bamboo basket filled with colorful seashells, and ran happily over.

"I'm here, Brother Rorschach. What did you make for dinner?"

She ran to the front of the wooden house, looked up at the silver-haired youth, and asked with a smile.

The young man scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and chuckled awkwardly, "Fried rice with egg..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Que immediately pouted and said angrily, "It's fried rice again! Brother Luo Xia, why do you make fried rice every day?"

"Because it's delicious, hahaha. Don't be angry, there are still some shellfish, right? How about we make some shellfish soup?" The young man quickly put his arm around her shoulder and pushed her into the wooden house.

Inside the wooden house, a single lamp flickered dimly.

Under the light, the young man behind Yun Que disintegrated, turning into wisps of misty clouds.

As if unaware, the lark sat down at the wooden table with a happy smile on her face, put down the bamboo basket she was carrying, picked up the fried rice on the table and took a bite.

"It's delicious, Brother Luo Xia. The fried rice is also good. It's simple, delicious, and affordable."

As Yun Que ate her cold fried rice, she would occasionally chuckle and say a few words, as if she were chatting with someone.

As she spoke, warm liquid slid down her cheeks and dripped into the bowl in front of her. She scooped it up with a teaspoon and put it into her mouth along with the cold fried rice.

"Brother Luo Xia, I miss you so much, I want to see you again."

The lark sat before the flickering lights, its vision somewhat blurred.

In the hazy distance, colorful mist seeped through the gaps in the wooden houses, gradually enveloping the lonely island at sea.

"Luo Xia, don't run so fast, be careful not to fall!"

“Rorschach, you’re just sick, not the monster they’re talking about.”

"Rorschach, shall we go fishing with Daddy today? Daddy will teach you how to find the most delicious fish at sea."

“Rorschach…”

In a hazy state, Yun Que heard a lot of noise. She raised her head in a daze, and as soon as she stood up, she heard the creaking sound of a wooden door being pulled open behind her.

"Someone's coming!"

Yun Que was startled, her mind instantly clearing, and she quickly turned around to look behind her.

Behind her, the door of the wooden house was opened from the outside, and a tall child with an unusually thin figure stood in the doorway, looking at her with some surprise.

"who are you?"

Looking at the boy's striking silver hair and blue eyes, and then at her own suddenly thin and frail body, Yun Que felt a rush of energy in her mind. Her body moved involuntarily forward, and to the astonishment of the silver-haired boy, she hugged him tightly.

"Brother Luo Xia, I miss you so much."
