General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 785 Neptune
"Eh? Dad, aren't we going back to the New World with Uncle Luo and the others?"

On the warship, Qilin looked at his own warship curiously. Shortly after leaving Marinford, it separated from the fleet led by Law and Enel and headed in a certain direction alone.

"Uncle Luo? That guy's last name isn't Luo, his last name is Trafalgar. You can call him Uncle Trafalgar." Hearing Qilin's question, Luo Xia's mouth twitched and he was speechless.

Yunque, who was preparing lunch for a few people, was also speechless.

Uncle Tra? What kind of name is that? Can't he just call me by my full name?
She smiled and patted Qilin's head, explaining, "We have to go to Fishman Island to take care of some things, so we will go separately from them."

"Fish-man Island? Are we going to Fish-man Island? I'm so looking forward to it. I want to see fish-men and mermaids." Qilin suddenly became excited.

"I'm also looking forward to seeing Fishman Island." Yamato, who was standing next to him, was also a little excited, his eyes full of anticipation.

She had never been to Fishman Island, and had only read about it in Oden's diary, and had always longed for that magical underwater world. So when she heard Rorschach say he was going to Fishman Island, she immediately stayed on his warship and refused to leave.

Rorschach couldn't do anything about her, so he had to let Eneel and Law lead the fleet to the elevator, while he took Yamato, Hibari, Kirin and others to Fishman Island.

Hearing Qilin's happy words, Luo Xia thought of something and looked at Qilin puzzledly: "Hey, Qilin, have you never been to Fishman Island?"

"No." Qilin shook his head stupidly.

"Then how did you get here from Egg Point Island? Did you take the elevator passage to the Red Earth Continent?" Skylark knew what Rorschach wanted to ask, and she was also very curious.

“No.” Qilin still shook his head. He pointed to the towering red earth continent in the distance. “I flew from the other side of this mountain to the top of the mountain using the Moon Steps. Then I jumped off the top of the mountain and came here.”

"What? You walked on the moon steps from the New World across the Red Earth Continent to the Paradise Sea?"

After hearing Qilin's answer, everyone on the deck was stunned.

Rorschach and Skylark looked at each other in silence.

Even Yamato, who is usually a bit thick-skinned, couldn't hold it anymore. He looked at Kirin and muttered something like "little monster, he's worthy of being the son of the monster Rorschach."

Don’t blame Yamato for not being shocked.

The Red Soil Continent is tens of thousands of meters high. How much physical strength does it take to fly to a height of tens of thousands of meters using the Moon Step?
If something goes wrong and you accidentally fall, it will be over.

Not to mention, Qilin is a person with special abilities. If he falls into the sea, he will drown.

"Then how did you get to Alabasta? You didn't seem to have a recording pointer with you?" After being stunned for a while, Yun Que asked curiously again.

"I asked people along the way. The grandparents, uncles and aunts I met were all willing to give me directions. Some beautiful older sisters wanted to take me there personally, but I refused. Uncle Zhan Taomaru said that when seeking help from others, you have to be polite and sweet-mouthed, and then people will be willing to help, but you have to know when to stop and not push too far. Sometimes, I would encounter pirates at sea. At this time, I would not be merciful. I would kill all the bad pirates. If they were not too bad, I would ask them to disband their pirate group. Those pirates also helped me a lot and sent me to some islands..."

As Qilin continued his story, Rorschach and Skylark were speechless.

Without any recording pointers, Kirin actually set out alone from the Egg Island in the New World, crossed the Red Earth Continent, entered Paradise, and drifted on the sea for thousands of miles before finally arriving in Alabasta.

If there was even a single mistake, such as a storm at sea that overturned the ship, or an encounter with a sea king, Qilin would probably be buried in the sea.

What kind of luck is this?

Although most of the reasons were due to the powerful strength of Qilin itself, Luo Xia also had to sigh that Qilin's luck was against the sky.

Just based on this experience, it is definitely not something that other Seraphim can replicate.

"By the way, Brother Rorschach, aren't we going to Shampooland to coat the warships?"

Seeing that the warship was sailing forward and had no intention of turning back to the Sabaody Archipelago, Yun Que looked at Rorschach in confusion.

Fishman Island is located directly below the Red Soil Continent, more than 10,000 meters below the seabed. Except for submarines, all ships that want to go there must be coated. This is common sense.

Rorschach smiled. "No need. It's just a coating. Look at me."

As he spoke, Yun Que and the others saw Rorschach stretch out his hand and casually grab the top of his head.

Suddenly, the air on the sea surface flowed rapidly, covering the warship, and continued to compress, soon forming a huge air cover that wrapped around the entire warship.

The air shield continued to compress, and strong winds howled above the warship. In the sight of several people, a huge palm condensed from endless airflow appeared, pressing down the hull of the warship and pressing it down little by little under the sea surface.

Yamato rushed to the side of the ship and looked out, and saw that the sea level below the hull continued to rise and soon approached the side of the ship. The surging sea water was about to rush onto the deck, but was blocked by an invisible air film and could not advance an inch.

Yamato couldn't help but stretch out his hand and touch the invisible air shield in front of him. Feeling the strong toughness of the air shield, he couldn't help but be amazed and shocked at the powerful ability of Rorschach.

She had always thought that Rorschach's only ability was to control lightning. But now, Rorschach had shown the ability to control airflow.

Sure enough, even the abilities of mythical beasts have different levels.

Mythical beasts like Kaido and Rorschach can manipulate two natural elements.

Kaido can manipulate fire and wind.

Rorschach is wind and thunder.

Her Big Mouth True God can only spit out freezing air. In comparison, the two abilities are obviously much inferior.

This is also the reason why when Yamato was in Water Seven City, he felt that Lucci, after awakening the fruit, did not seem to be that powerful.

Lucci's Cat-Cat Fruit is fundamentally far inferior to her mythical beast species. Even if she works hard to develop it until the fruit awakens, the enhancement it brings to itself is far less than the enhancement that the Big Mouth True God form brings to Yamato.

So Yamato felt that even if his fruit was awakened, he might not be able to defeat Rorschach.

Soon, the sea water covered the top of the warship, making the warship like a submarine, sinking into the deep sea.

As the sinking depth increased, the air cover covering the entire warship shrank a little in volume, speeding up the ship's dive.

At this moment, it seemed that the warship where everyone was located was like one with a transparent glass cover installed, isolating it from the sea water. As long as they looked up, they could see the rippling waves above their heads and the fish swimming in the water.

The people on the deck seemed to be very confident about the air shield above their heads and were not worried at all that the air shield would break as the water pressure increased.

Skylark and Qilin believe in Rorschach unconditionally.

Yamato, on the other hand, is simply a thick-skinned person and doesn't care at all.

However, to be on the safe side, Rorschach added an extra layer of safety measures to the warship covered by the air shield.

A deep blue light poured out from his body, quickly covering the entire warship and wrapping it up, like a deep blue sea king, completely merging with the ocean.

At the same time, in order to prevent any blind sea kings from harassing him, Rorschach slightly released a bit of his own aura.

A terrifying aura like that of the abyss emanated from him, radiating over an area of ​​dozens of kilometers. It frightened the sea kings living in the surrounding deep seas and caused them to scatter in panic, as if they had seen their natural enemies, and they moved far away from the sea area where the warship was.

"Come and eat. I've specially prepared deep-sea themed seafood dishes, including takoyaki and sea king steak."

Skylark brought the prepared food to the deck.

"Hmm, it smells so good! I love takoyaki the most." Kirin sniffed, not afraid of the heat, grabbed the takoyaki and stuffed it into his mouth.

Maybe he inherited Rorschach's genes, but he was not slow at all when it came to eating. He ate food like a whirlwind, pouring plates of delicious food into his mouth. "Hey! Little devil! Leave some for me." Yamato rushed over impatiently, like a starving ghost, and started to compete with Qilin for food.

"Hey, Yamato, who are you? Isn't it shameful to snatch food from a kid?" Rorschach was speechless.

Yamato stuffed a handful of takoyaki into his mouth, his mouth full of oil. He looked at Rorschach with disdain, and muttered incoherently: "Do you want to look at yourself? If I don't grab the food, I will be the one who is hungry, the biggest eater in the Navy Headquarters."

Yun Que looked at the three people eating with relish, a smile appearing in his eyes.

Several people just sat on the warship that was slowly sinking into the deep sea, admiring the deep sea scenery, eating delicious food, chatting, and enjoying this rare leisure time.

As they chatted, they couldn't help but talk about the fishmen and mermaids on the Fishman Island.

"Speaking of fishmen, don't we have a big fishman on our ship?" Yamato, who was full and had no image at all, was lying on the deck, tilting his head to look at Rorschach.

She had drunk quite a bit of wine, and her fair face was rosy. She looked lazy, plump, and her breath was as fragrant as orchid. Rorschach couldn't help but touch his nose and turn his eyes away from Yamato's curvy figure and onto Yun Que opposite.

Hibari is just as beautiful as Yamato, gentle and peaceful. She is wearing an apron and busy making takoyaki.

Feeling Rorschach's gaze, she raised her head and her pair of clear, expressive eyes met Rorschach's, making Rorschach's heart beat fast.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question, why are you two looking at each other?" Yamato muttered unhappily.

"Ahem, are you talking about Jinbei? Yes, he is indeed on the ship." Rorschach coughed quickly to cover up his embarrassment.

Jinbe was brought from Impel Down by Magellan and given to Rorschach.

Because of Shirahoshi and Neptune's repeated pleas, and after carefully weighing the threat posed by Jinbe, Rorschach decided to let Jinbe go.

It just so happened that he was going to Fishman Island this time, so he took Jinbei with him.

"We'll be at Fishman Island soon. Let him go and let him eat something, so Neptune won't accuse me of mistreating prisoners."

Rorschach raised his chin towards Yamato.

"Why me? You won't go by yourself." Yamato reluctantly and slowly climbed up from the deck and walked into the cabin of the warship.

After a while, she came back and lay down on the ground comfortably.

Behind her, a tall fishman, with heavy seastone chains on his hands and feet, walked out slowly.

It was Jinbei.

Jinbei now has no right arm. Although he still looks tall, he has become much thinner than his previous fat appearance. He is like a walking skeleton.

When I saw Rorschach again, there was not much anger in his eyes, only calmness.

"Jinbei, if you don't mind, come and have something to eat."

Rorschach said calmly, motioning the soldier next to him to come forward and open the seastone shackles on Jinbei.

Jinbei didn't say anything, he just walked to the opposite side of Rorschach, sat down cross-legged, and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Rorschach knew that the hatred between the two sides could not be eliminated.

If Rorschach killed Ace, Whitebeard, Joz and others, he would never expect Jinbe to suddenly change his attitude, completely forget the past hatred, and smile at him.

Looking at Jinbei who remained silent, Rorschach took a sip of wine, then suddenly reached out and threw the bottle of wine in front of him over to him.

Jinbei took it, but didn't drink it.

Rorschach chuckled and didn't force it. He just said, "Jinbei, can you tell me when Shirahoshi awakened and became the King of the Sea?"

Rorschach's words made the silent Jinbei's face change instantly. He suddenly looked up, stared at Rorschach, and a hoarse voice came out of his throat.

"You...why do you know all this?!"

A few hours later.

Rorschach's warship slowly passed through the bubble membrane that wrapped around Fishman Island and entered the bubble harbor used to dock ships.

On the deck, Yun Que, Yamato, Kirin and others were all shocked and immersed in the magnificent beauty of Fishman Island, which was like a pearl in the water.

At the port, Neptune had already led the ministers of the Dragon Palace Kingdom and several of his children to welcome Rorschach.

Seeing Jinbei coming back, Neptune and others were very excited, and the sentimental Shirahoshi even cried.

Neptune was the ruler of a country after all, and he had the bearing of a king, so he was quite calm. He first stepped forward, greeted Rorschach, and then invited Rorschach to attend the banquet in Dragon Palace.

Rorschach did not refuse and followed Neptune and others to attend the welcome banquet of the Dragon Palace Kingdom.

After admiring the mermaid's charming dance and beautiful singing and enjoying the underwater delicacies unique to Fishman Island, Rorschach found Neptune alone.

He didn't come to Fishman Island for a tour. Rorschach wanted to talk to Neptune about Aquaman.

Because he felt that the time for them to have a showdown with the World Government was getting closer and closer.

But there are still many things that have not been completed, such as the Pluto battleship in Wano Country, the Our Lady of Flame on Egg Island, the Sea King Shirahoshi on Fishman Island, plus Shanks and Luffy, and Dragon's Revolutionary Army.

If all of the above are not handled properly, they may affect the final decisive battle.

Rorschach didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Neptune, I know that Shirahoshi is the Sea King of your Fishman generation, and she has awakened and has the ability to control the Sea Kings."

The smile on Neptune's face disappeared. He clenched his fists reflexively and looked at Rorschach nervously. "General Rorschach, Shirahoshi... is just an ordinary mermaid, not a sea king. The ability to control sea kings is possessed by many mermaids. It is not a difficult thing. I can do it, too. Jinbe can also command whale sharks..."

"You don't have to explain, Neptune. This is not a secret. I guess many people in this world know that a sea king appears every few hundred years in your tribe of fishmen, right? You think even I know this secret of yours, so you think other people don't know it?"

"As far as I know, Roger's pirate group knows that Shirahoshi is the Sea King, so Red Hair knows it too. If Red Hair knows it, many people around him know it too. Do you think the World Government, which knows all the truth about the past, would not know this?"

Rorschach's words silenced Neptune, who was trying to hide his identity as Shirahoshi.

He looked at Rorschach solemnly, "What does General Rorschach want to say?"

"I know what agreement your fishmen had with Joyboy eight hundred years ago. Joyboy promised to fulfill your fishmen's wish, so that you can live on the sea and live with humans on an equal footing. I can help you with this in advance. There are many islands in the waters protected by G5, where you fishmen can travel safely."

"What are the conditions? Is it related to Shirahoshi?" Neptune was a smart man and quickly understood the hidden meaning in Rorschach's words.

Rorschach nodded. "The condition is that before the world situation undergoes a major change, Shirahoshi must not side with the World Government, the Revolutionary Army, or any of the pirates, especially the pirates. The Joy Boy you are looking forward to may appear, but he will never be the savior, because I will not allow a pirate to become the savior. This pirate era will soon come to an end."

"The fishmen are too weak and too easy to perish in the struggle between these major forces. I don't want Shirahoshi to get into trouble because of a promise that has lasted for eight hundred years. Her existence may be the key to influencing the future of the world."
