General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 841: Walking Alone

On Danjian Island.

Looking at the Pangu City that was bombed into ruins reflected in the pentagram diagram before it gradually faded and disappeared, Dragon, Kizaru and others were completely shocked by the unparalleled power displayed by Rorschach.

From the time Rorschach launched the attack on the Five Elders to the end of the battle, it was only a few seconds, just a blink of an eye. The Five Elders, who were as powerful as monsters and could remain unscathed in a long confrontation with Dragon, were like dogs that had lost their homes, and fled in panic in horror in front of Rorschach.

Not only that, they also clearly sensed that the life breath of the Bull Demon Satan and the Sandworm Peter Saint among the Five Elders had been completely annihilated and disappeared. The undead monsters with almost endless vitality, which could not be injured by Dragon's powerful entanglement attacks, were killed on the spot in Luo Xia's hands without even a breath of time.

At this moment, Ivankov and the revolutionary army commanders behind him were shocked beyond words by the scene before them. They no longer had the slightest scoff at Rorschach's previous outrageous remarks.

The strength of the man in front of him was beyond doubt. Even their leader, Dorag, who was known as the most vicious criminal in the world, could never stand up to him. This was a being that was powerful enough to make any opponent despair, as powerful as a god.

Watching Rorschach's body gradually shrink and return to the appearance of a normal person wearing a cloak of justice, Sabo and Sanji felt dejected. The desire to take revenge on Rorschach was cooled down as if by a basin of ice water.

They knew that if nothing unexpected happened, they would probably never have the chance to avenge Luffy and Ace in this lifetime.

With complicated eyes, Dorag looked at Rorschach, who was still young but had a look that showed he had seen through the vicissitudes of life. He sighed in his heart and asked in a deep voice, "How are you going to search my memory?"

However, Rorschach on the other side said: "I have seen it."

"What?" Dorag was stunned.

Little did he know that the moment he made the decision in his heart and let down his guard, Rorschach's soul, which was so huge that it oppressed his own body, had already used the skills he had acquired from Reid, and as if it had the ability of the Memory Fruit, it directly read through all of Dragon's past memories.

At this moment, Dorag no longer had any secrets to Rorschach. His past and thoughts were all clearly explored by Rorschach.

In fact, not only him, but the memories of everyone present except Kizaru were also explored by Rorschach.

This seemingly incredible ability is no longer uncommon for Rorschach today.

Back then, when he was in Uta's singing world, he was looking through the memories of millions of people at the same time, and he was exploring and sensing them in batches. In just a few hours, he accurately screened out the most heinous crimes from over one billion people.

The reason why he couldn't sense Dragon, Kizaru and the others was because their domineering aura was strong and could temporarily block Rorschach's detection.

Of course, if Rorschach wanted to forcibly explore their memories, it was not impossible. He could have defeated the two first and attacked them when their dominance was weakened. With his current strength, he could easily do it. But he didn't do that. Although Rorschach's emotions gradually became indifferent after devouring too many mixed souls, they were not completely lost. His memories were still there, and his humanity was still there, but compared to the past, he was less emotional and hesitant, and became rational and decisive.

Hearing that Rorschach had searched all his memories, Drago's expression became more complicated. He didn't think Rorschach was lying. But the more this happened, the more powerful Rorschach seemed, which was completely beyond his cognition. This kind of individual with great power as powerful as a god might really be able to do what countless people have not done for eight hundred years, and solve the blood-sucking world government entrenched on this planet.

Thinking of this, 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 ruthless actions against the Five Elders just now, I'm afraid you have decided to stand on the opposite side of the World Government? In this case, let's cooperate. I can lead the entire Revolutionary Army to help you and fight against the World Government together."

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

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

Even Sabo, who hated Rorschach to the core, knew that if Rorschach was really willing to cooperate with the Revolutionary Army to fight against the World Government, perhaps the cause that their Revolutionary Army had been fighting for for decades would really have hope of winning in the near future.

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

"No hurry, just follow me to G5. I don't have much time. I need to make some arrangements before going to Marijoa."

Rorschach's answer startled Dorag.

He was not hesitant because Rorschach said he wanted to go to G5 with him, but he was confused because there was not much time in Rorschach's words.

However, seeing that Rorschach had no intention of explaining further, Dorag did not ask any further questions.

He looked at Big Bear and Vegapunk not far away, and the last bit of doubt in his heart was put to rest. The purpose of their coming to Egg Point Island this time was to rescue Big Bear and Vegapunk. Now that both of them were no longer in danger of life, their purpose was perfectly accomplished.

With the help of Vegapunk, Dragon believes that even if the future is as cruel as Vegapunk had originally guessed, he will be able to prepare for the disaster that has not yet arrived.

After talking with Dragon, Rorschach came to Kizaru.

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

Looking at Kizaru who seemed to be hesitant to speak, a smile from Kizaru's memory appeared on Rorschach's usually indifferent face.

Somehow, seeing Rorschach's smile, Kizaru's heart suddenly felt sour for no reason. He quickly took out his sunglasses from his pocket, put them on casually, and pouted, "If you fail, can I tell Saint Satan that I was forced by you?"

"Satan is dead, uncle, you are free."

Rorschach smiled and patted his shoulder, brushing past the frozen Kizaru, and then came to the bloody and miserable Zhan Taowan, with flashing lightning in his hand, pressing on Zhan Taowan's broad shoulder. Zhan Taowan felt a warm current flowing from Rorschach's palm into his body, and the injuries in his body healed rapidly, and the pain in his body quickly disappeared.

"Rorschach, I'm so glad you're okay. I thought you..." He wanted to say something, but Rorschach patted him on the shoulder.

"Go to G5, Sen Taomaru. The future of this world also needs you."

The happy expression on Zhan Taowan's round face froze. He looked at Rorschach's tall back and suddenly felt that Rorschach's back was a little desolate, which made him unable to help but ask in a hoarse voice: "What about you, Rorschach?"

Rorschach paused, without looking back, and said gently: "I will send you to the future."

"Rorschach, it seems that you have really achieved the realm I mentioned at the beginning, and have reached the realm of the phantom beast and the realm of the god that has awakened the Transcendent Fruit. Can you give me some blood so that I can study it? Perhaps I can use your bloodline factor to create a more perfect Seraph."

Lilith, who was covered in dust and looked a little disheveled, looked at Rorschach with shining eyes, as if she was looking at a rare treasure.

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

Rorschach reached out his hand, and in front of Lilith's surprised look, he covered her head with it and rubbed it hard, making her short hair messy.

Lilith angrily slapped Rorschach's hand away, put her hands on her hips, and was about to say something angrily, but she saw Rorschach waved at the seven Seraphim who had been down since Rorschach arrived and stopped attacking them. A piece of broken electric light penetrated into the bodies of the Seraphim, as if shattering some device in their bodies. The seven Seraphim's starry eyes, which had always been indifferent and ruthless, suddenly changed and gradually turned into the pupils of normal humans.

The frozen expressions on their faces became more vivid, and their eyes looking at Rorschach and the people around them showed complex emotions that they had not had before. Rorschach said to the seven S Snakes calmly, "From today on, you are free. But remember, this freedom I give you is conditional. When the world disaster comes, you must contribute your strength without reservation until the disaster is over. Do you agree?"

The seven Seraphim looked at each other and nodded in unison. Under the strange and surprised gazes of Sabo and others, they all knelt on one knee towards Rorschach, lowered their heads, and said in unison: "We have no objection, father."

The corners of Rorschach's mouth twitched slightly, he tightened his serious expression, nodded indifferently, then waved his hand, the air surged, turned into an invisible barrier, lifted up all the people on the island, and flew away as the headquarters marines looked up.

Lilith noticed the changes in the Seraphim, her mouth opened wide, and she looked at Rorschach in surprise, "Rorschach, how did you do it? You...you eliminated the control authority in their bodies?"

Rorschach did not answer. Lilith wanted to ask more, but her mouth was blocked by a ball of blood wrapped in an air mask that Rorschach drew out. She walked aside to study it with shining eyes.

Under Rorschach's electromagnetic control, the submarine carrying him, Dragon and others, weighing hundreds of tons, was still able to break through the sound barriers and fly at supersonic speed in the sky like a missile. In less than an hour, it crossed thousands of miles of sea and arrived at G5 from Egg Island.

When a dozen people got off the submarine, they were shocked to find that the G5 Island in front of them was floating ten thousand meters above the sea, like a flying continent. From afar, the island was shrouded in clouds and mist, looking magnificent and shocking.

"It's the ability of the Float-Float Fruit, Rorschach. You asked Zephyr to send the G5 island into the sky. Is it to avoid the attack of the ancient weapons of the World Government?"

While others were still shocked by the suspended G5 island, Dragon had a vague idea of ​​why the island was sent to the sky by Zephyr from the sea of ​​the New World.

As long as he thought of Wanbo Island that was destroyed and turned into a bottomless abyss, Dragon could imagine how terrible the lethality of the ancient weapon in the hands of the World Government was.

Based on the intelligence gathered by the Revolutionary Army before and after Wanbo Island was hit by the huge beam of light, the Revolutionary Army's General Staff summarized some speculations about the mysterious weapon.

First, a huge beam of light shot down from deep in the sky, and it started at an extremely fast speed, so fast that even Rorschach and Barrett could not react. Before the beam of light shot down, the sky lit up with a bright light like the sun, and from a distance it looked like a god had opened his eyes and was looking down at the world from the sky.

That kind of terrifying weapon with devastating destructive power was definitely not in the sky above Wanbo Island in advance. It must have been artificially controlled and transferred from somewhere else after the incident on Wanbo Island happened.

Combining the similar light pillars seen by their intelligence personnel in the waters near Wano Country and the sudden death of the giant elephant Zou, it was not difficult for Dragon to guess that the ancient weapon that destroyed Wanbo Island should have been in the sky above the waters of Wano Country before.

From this we can see that the movement speed of this ancient weapon is also extremely fast.

A weapon with fast movement speed and amazing destructive power must not be used without limit. Otherwise, the World Government would not have been so passive and embarrassed by the Great Pirate Era opened by Roger. They could have used ancient weapons to easily sink the islands where the Four Emperors were.

The condition that limits the use of this ancient weapon may be energy.

This is probably why the Five Elders personally led the navy to Egg Point Island, because there is the infinite energy that Vegapunk has been researching for decades.

So how does this ancient weapon hidden deep in the sky lock onto islands in the sea?

The first thing that Dorag and others thought of, and the most likely guess, was the magnetic field.

Along the route of the Grand Line, weather, ocean currents, and so on do not change according to common sense, so ordinary recording pointers or compasses cannot find the correct direction on the Grand Line. The permanent pointer will always point to a certain island and will never change direction.

The permanent pointer here records the magnetic field of those islands.

As long as we have the magnetic field record of the island and combine it with some distance calculations, we can accurately lock the location of the island. In fact, the maps of various sea areas in the hands of the World Government and their Revolutionary Army are drawn according to this method, and usually there will be no errors.

This normal situation refers to the absence of interference from islands such as Sky Islands that can float in the sky.

Sky islands also have magnetic fields. For example, when a ship passes through Mogu Town, you will find that the recording pointer in your hand will become confused and point to the sky. That is because there are many sky islands such as Gaya Island in the sky above Mogu Town.

This is because the sky island overlaps with the earth below, causing magnetic field overlap and disorder, which affects the magnetic field recording of the recording pointer.

And this might be one possibility to avoid the attack of the mysterious ancient weapons in the hands of the World Government.

This conclusion was reached by Dragon, Sabo and others after a long discussion not long ago. Now seeing that the G5 island was sent into the sky by Zephyr, Dragon is more certain of their inference.

Thinking of the ancient weapons, he couldn't help but look to his side, where there was a huge spherical transparent container with a ball of jumping and burning flames inside. According to Vegapunk, this ball of flame was the greatest achievement of his decades of research on the subject of infinite energy, the mother fire.

This looks like a small flame, but the energy contained in it is as huge as a burning little sun in Dorag's perception.

Among Vegapunk's six clones, York chose to betray him and stole a part of the Mother Fire. Now it seems that the part of the Mother Fire stolen by York was used by the World Government as the energy source for the mysterious ancient weapon.

Now, the remaining part of the mother fire was brought to G5 by Rorschach. When Drago was wondering if Rorschach had set his eyes on the infinite energy developed by Vegapunk and wanted to take it for himself, he saw a long and narrow steel battleship with a bright silver body, immersed in a ball of dazzling electric light, flying out from the G5 island. Standing on the bow of the battleship was Enelu with blond hair.

Enel flashed, and appeared beside Dragon at a speed so fast that it seemed like teleportation. He looked at the mother fire that was hit in the spherical container with a cold expression, and said to Rorschach: "This is the mother fire you mentioned. Can it be used to activate the energy of Pluto?"

Rorschach nodded, and under the horrified gazes of Dorag and the others, he smashed the outer shell of the spherical container of the Mother Fire, and stretched out a scaly hand that kept expanding and enlarging, becoming more than ten meters long in an instant. Countless lightning bolts were wrapped around the fingertips, and his five fingers were spread out, clasping the jumping Mother Fire, grabbing the ball of flame containing terrifying energy in his hand. With a flash of his figure, he came to the bright silver steel battleship and pressed the Mother Fire in his hand into the deck of the battleship.

As the mother fire was sent into the power room of the battleship by Rorschach, the heavy steel battleship began to vibrate immediately. Countless precision instrument dials in the cabin lit up indicator lights. Lines and gears came alive as if they had life, transporting the huge energy contained in the mother fire to all parts of the battleship.

The cold and hard steel muzzle at the front of the battleship seemed to have turned into a deep, dark black hole at this moment, emitting a sense of horror that made Dorag and others shudder. The warning of death sounded wildly in their hearts, forcing them to leave, away from the direction where the muzzle of the steel battleship was pointed.

Dragon's pupils shrank suddenly. Looking at the steel battleship where Rorschach was, an idea emerged in his mind uncontrollably. He blurted out, "Rorschach! Could this battleship be one of the three legendary ancient weapons, Pluto?"

Rorschach did not hide anything. He touched the barrel of the Pluto battleship and nodded, saying, "Yes, this time, I will take this Pluto battleship to get rid of the World Government."

"Great! With Pluto, the god of the underworld, and your strength, Rorschach, we can definitely destroy the rule of the World Government in one fell swoop! Rorschach, when are we going to take action? I can't wait any longer." Seeing the Pluto battleship, even Dragon, who was calm and composed and never showed his emotions, could not control his excitement at this moment, and even his voice trembled a little.

However, Rorschach looked at him excitedly, shook his head slowly and said, "No, Drago, I am the only one who will take this Pluto battleship to Mary Geoise. You and the G5 navy must stay."

"What? Why?" Dorag was stunned, his face full of confusion.

"Because I am enough, there is no need to let others sacrifice their lives in vain. Originally, I was only 50% sure of defeating the World Government, but now with the fully charged Pluto battleship, this probability has become 90%. No, it is 100%. The remaining 10% is in Marijoa."

Rorschach turned sideways and looked at Zefa, Skylark and others who flew in from the depths of G5 Island, with deep reluctance and attachment in his eyes.

“I began to understand why I came to this world.”
