General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 831 Rorschach's Legacy

In the holy land, the hall of power, there were sounds of heated conversation coming from inside, like a fierce quarrel, which frightened the guards of the holy land standing at the door.

"Five Elders! Regarding the matter of Wanbo Island, I need you to give me a reasonable explanation!"

"Explanation? Akainu! What explanation do you need?"

"You know what I need explained better than I do! What is the mysterious pillar of light that destroyed Wanbo Island? Was it you who did it?"

"Akainu! Know your place! Take care of your own navy's business. This is none of your business!"

"I don't ask? Our general was on the island exterminating pirates, and this sudden attack has left him in a state of uncertainty about his life or death. You want me not to ask?"

"As I said, we are not aware of the incident on Wanbo Island, and we have not done anything unnecessary. We are far away in the Holy Land, and even if we want to wipe out the pirates, we are powerless..."

"Bullshit! Do you think I will believe it? Do you think everyone is a fool? Now the entire navy system is asking me about Wanbo Island. You must give me an explanation today! Otherwise, there is no end!"

"Akainu! Watch your attitude! Do you still want to be the admiral of the navy?!"

"If not, then don't do it! Do you think I like being this shitty marshal, dying in the Holy Land reading documents every day? I die here every day, and I don't even know that all my navy members are dead! My admirals are fighting pirates to death in the New World, but you are stabbing them in the back. Who do you think our navy is fighting for? For a bunch of ungrateful bastards?!"

"You...you! Get out of here! Now! Get out of the holy land!"

"Get lost if you want to! You'd better not ask me to come back again!"

An old voice was shaking with anger and shouting. The huge sound seemed to shake the entire hall of power. The guards outside were so scared that they fell to the ground, their faces pale under the masks.

Then, they saw Akainu, dressed in a red army uniform and a white cloak, striding out of the Hall of Power with a gloomy face and full of anger.

Then, an extremely strong old man with a cockscomb haircut ran out quickly, stopped in front of Akainu, and tried to persuade him loudly.

"Sakaski, Sakaski! Calm down, calm down, don't get carried away. If there's anything, we can sit down and talk it out. There's no need to argue like this. Arguing won't solve the problem."

"What to talk about? What is there to talk about? Didn't you hear them telling me to get out? Do they want me to kneel down and beg to stay?" Akainu didn't appreciate it at all and strode past Sora.

Seeing this, Kong became very anxious and quickly reached out and grabbed Akainu's arm.

"Saint Satan was also excited and made an unintentional mistake. I don't think he meant it that way. You don't have to take it to heart. Let's all calm down. Come on, let's continue to talk about the disaster in the Gege World. As for Rorschach, he is a lucky man and nothing will happen to him. We must have confidence in him."

As Sora said this, he forcibly grabbed Akainu's arm and dragged him from outside back to the Hall of Power.

Akainu couldn't break free and could only be dragged back to the hall, where he saw the angry faces of the Five Elders.

Looking at Akainu who was pulled back by Sora, Satan sneered, "Why did you come back again? Didn't I tell you to get lost? Do you think the navy can't function without you, Akainu? I tell you! We can find a new navy admiral at any time!"

"Really? Then go ahead, I want to see who you can find to take this thankless position." Akainu, who had a burning cigar in his mouth, had blood vessels bulging on his forehead. He shook off Sora's big hand and was about to turn around and leave.

Kong reached out and grabbed his arm again. Seeing that Satan seemed to be about to sneer, he suddenly shouted, "Enough! Calm down!"

His huge voice was like thunder in a clear sky, making the whole hall of power buzz. The thick walls vibrated and the huge oil paintings hanging on the walls were shaken off and fell to the ground with a bang. The Five Elders were also shocked and frowned. The luxurious jade coffee table in front of them exploded with a snap, collapsed and turned into a pile of fragments.

The two parties in the quarrel fell into a brief silence because of Kong's shouting.

Kong said in a deep voice: "Arguing won't solve the problem. Just give me some face and calm down. We are all working for the prosperity and stability of the World Government."

Sartan and the others relaxed their expressions a little and did not continue to speak. Akainu, holding a cigar, crossed his arms, stood in front of them coldly, and also fell silent.

Sora continued, "What has happened cannot be undone. We need to care and consider not what the mysterious force that destroyed Wanbo Island is, but how to deal with the huge disaster caused by the Gege World. Dozens of kings from member countries have called to inquire about this matter and want our World Government to give them a satisfactory answer, otherwise it will be difficult for them to believe that we have the ability to continue to protect them. I think if the answer does not satisfy them, I am afraid that many member countries will be absent from the next World Conference."

"Answer? What answer?" Maz Saint sneered, "They still want a satisfactory answer. Would the loss of our world government be less? It is their honor to let them attend the World Conference! Not coming? Let them not come and see!"

"That's not what I meant. Give them a little face. Since they want an answer, just explain the situation truthfully. The disaster was originally caused by the devil's heir and the singer Uta. We are also victims. They can't blame us. Don't those lowly insects just want to make profits? If it doesn't work, the worst that can happen is that we can collect less gold from heaven this year." Satan said in a deep voice.

"Collect less Heavenly Gold? Dream on! Not a penny less of Heavenly Gold! If any member country dares not to pay, let the navy fleet sail to their doorstep!" Saint Maz was still tough, leaving no room for easing.

Akainu sneered at this, "Fleet? Who should we send? Borsalino is seriously injured and has not recovered yet, Rorschach is missing and his life or death is unknown, and that bastard Aramaki can't be contacted and no one knows where he died. The three strongest fighters can't be relied on, who do you want me to send? Send the new recruits from the four seas?"

"Akainu! How do you talk like that?" Maz Saint was furious at Akainu's ridicule.

Akainu refused to give in. "How can I say that? If you hadn't killed Rorschach, would we be without anyone to use now?!"

"We have said that what happened on Wanbo Island has nothing to do with us!"

"Who else could it be if not you? Don't tell me it was those poor bastards from the Revolutionary Army who did it. If they were that powerful, they would have attacked the Holy Land long ago!"

"Why are you guys arguing again?"

Seeing the Five Elders and Akainu quarreling again within two minutes of calming down, Kong grabbed his own hair with a headache, wishing he was on a business trip and not in the Holy Land today, so as to avoid being upset by seeing this mess.

But we can't just ignore this matter, otherwise if the quarrel gets too much and Akainu resigns, then things will get serious.

The navy was already in a precarious situation. After the Wanbo Island convoy returned, two new and old naval heroes died and one disappeared. As many as 20,000 marines were killed worldwide, and the entire navy was in a low mood and grief. If the admiral suddenly resigned at this critical moment, the morale of the navy would definitely suffer an unprecedented blow, and there might be a large-scale resignation and defection of marines.

Just as Kong was thinking about what to say to distract the attention of the two quarreling parties, a tall figure suddenly rushed in from outside and even the two holy land guards who wanted to step forward to stop him were knocked to the ground and rolled like gourds.

"Five Elders! I need an explanation!" The man opened his mouth with an angry question, his voice was as loud as thunder, making Kong's eardrums buzz.

Looking at the person who broke in by force, rushed in front of him, pointed his finger at his nose and asked angrily, Satan's nose was almost crooked with anger.

He grabbed the crutch in his hand and slammed it hard on the marble floor in front of him, causing gravel to fly everywhere.

"Zhan Guo! Who let you in? You are not even a navy now, you have no right to come here!"

"Fuck your qualifications! If you don't explain to me today why Huangmu was sent to G5 as the governor at this time, I will die here today and you can't drive me away!"

The person who came here was none other than Sengoku who had rushed here from Marinford. At this moment, he was gritting his teeth and was furious, which made Kong almost think that he saw the Sengoku general who had a hot temper and was willing to lead his troops to chase Whitebeard alone decades ago.

Satan was so angry at Zhan Guo's questioning that he trembled all over and his old face turned the color of liver.

Before Satan could continue to scold Sengoku, Akainu, who was listening at the side, looked even more gloomy and ugly.

He also walked forward, looked at Satan, and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Can anyone tell me what it means for Huangmu to be the governor of G5? Who gave the order? Why is it that even I, the Admiral of the Navy, don't know about this appointment?"

Seeing the questioning looks from Sengoku and Akainu, Satan could no longer bear it, and stood up abruptly, angrily saying: "This is an order issued by us personally! Does it need your intervention? Akainu, recognize your identity!"

"I don't recognize this order! Rorschach is not dead, he is just missing temporarily. With Aramaki's strength, he can't be the governor of G5, and he can't gain a foothold in the New World. Only Rorschach, he even killed Kaido, only he can sit in G5 and suppress the pirates in the New World!" Akainu's voice became louder, and his saliva almost flew to Satan's face.

"That's why we only let him serve as the temporary governor! His position will only be permanent if Rorschach dies. In addition, this order does not require your approval! Your approval means nothing. We have the final say on all appointments of positions in the navy, including you, the admiral of the navy!"

"I won't admit it either! With Aramaki's strength, I'm afraid he can't even beat the current Enelu. If he goes to G5, he will only fail and won't be able to sit firmly on the position of Governor of G5. Just wait and see!" Zhan Guo sneered on the side.

"You, a retired person, have no right to give orders here. Get out of here right now! And you, Akainu, get out of here too! Get out of here! Now! Immediately!"

A few minutes later.

Sartan was so angry that his chest felt stuffy. He took a few breaths and sat back on the sofa. He frowned and said depressedly, "How did that old devil Zhan Guo know about Huangmu's appointment? Even Akainu and the others were not informed of this matter. Only the five of us knew about this!"

At the side, Kong Kong, who had just returned from sending Sengoku and Akainu, twitched his face slightly, turned around silently, lowered his head and left quickly.

Mazi Sheng seemed to have thought of something, frowned and said: "No, this matter is not only known by the five of us, but also by one more person."

As he spoke, he looked up at the entrance to the hall.

Satan, Nasu Shoulangsheng and others looked over, their old faces twisted with anger and they cursed loudly.

"Sora! You bastard! You're the one who leaked the news, right? Get back here!"

Kong left at a faster pace. He looked around, picked his ears, and muttered with a puzzled look on his face, 'Alas, my ears have been getting more and more deaf recently. I always have tinnitus and auditory hallucinations. It seems that I didn't get enough rest. I have to go back and catch up on some sleep.' After saying that, he disappeared into the road outside the hall at a speed that was no less fast than Kizaru.

The angry curses of the Five Elders came from behind.

"Asshole! Don't pretend you didn't hear us!"

When Kong's figure completely disappeared, the anger on the faces of the Five Elders gradually subsided, and they looked at each other.

Saint Maz said: "I didn't expect that Lord Yimu would personally take action to wipe out Wanbo Island. I wonder what exactly aroused the Lord's interest, is it Rorschach or Barrett?"

The others all shook their heads. They only learned about the destruction of Wanbo Island by a huge beam of light after hearing the navy’s report.

Although it is unclear the real reason why Im personally took action and used the King to destroy Wanbo Island, this did not prevent the Five Elders from feeling sorry for Rorschach's death, and they also felt slightly relieved.

Because according to the information obtained from the navy afterwards, the strength displayed by Rorschach in the Gege world was really too powerful.

"He single-handedly fought against seven strong men of the same level, killed Beckman on the spot, injured Yixiao, Aokiji, and Red Hair, and killed Totumjika. Rorschach's combat power is definitely the best in the history of the navy. I'm afraid that even Kizaru, Aramaki, and Akainu combined are not as strong as him. It's a pity that such a powerful man died like this. If he can be used by us, at least in the next fifty years, there will be no one in this world who will rebel against us."

Nasujuro Sei held the first generation of Kitetsu, pushed his glasses, his eyes full of emotion and regret.

"You even forgot Straw Hat Luffy." Satan shook his head. "I never expected that even Straw Hat Luffy who awakened the Sun God Nika form was beaten to death by him. It seems that our previous suspicion of him, thinking that he was a light, was really wrong about him. He even extinguished Nika, the biggest light. This guy really wants to destroy all the pirates in the world as he said himself."

"But his death is worth it and necessary." Saint Maz said, "He is too strong, so strong that even we feel terrified. This kind of strength surpasses Roger and Rocks. Unless Lord Yim takes action personally, no one can suppress him. Therefore, he must die."

"Yes, he must die. I just feel a little sorry for him." Nasu Shoulangsheng said in a deep voice, "If I had known he was so powerful, I should have married Freya to him. If such a powerful bloodline was inherited, I wonder what kind of offspring it would produce. What a pity, what a pity."

Then he looked at Satan and asked, "Did CP0 go to Wanbo Island? If they can find any remains of Rorschach's body after his death, they might have a chance to obtain some of his bloodline factors and edit them to create the strongest Seraph in history."

Sartan said, "I went there three days ago, but there's no news yet, so I guess they didn't find it. Judging from the destruction of Wanbo Island, this time the King of Heaven's attack probably consumed an extremely huge amount of energy, more than the previous ones combined. Even if Rorschach was strong, his body would be destroyed by the bomb."

He added: "After Rorschach's death, the G5, which is now in a state of panic, is a good opportunity for us to take over. G5 is full of talented people. Even without Rorschach, it is still a force that cannot be ignored and must be controlled by us."

"And there's Rorschach's Seagull Pictures, which is also a huge fortune." Nasushiro Sei, who is in charge of the world government's finances, whispered softly.

"These are all the legacies left by Rorschach, Admiral Lanlin. Haha, you are worthy of being the youngest and most powerful admiral in the history of the navy. Even the legacies he left behind are so rich and attractive." Saint Maz sighed, but his eyes were full of sarcastic sneers.
