General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 842 Reluctance and Farewell

The next day, on G5 Island, in Rorschach's home, in the bedroom, Skylark was helping Rorschach put on the general's uniform that he hadn't worn for a long time.

Since his strength grew day by day, the objects of his battles changed from the small pirates in Paradise to the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Four Queens in the New World. Ordinary clothes, no matter how good the materials, would be severely damaged when worn by him in a battle.

In addition, his fighting style tends to be brutal and violent. Once he enters the combat state and gets excited, he will often transform into the Blue Scale Form or even the Kirin Form. His body will expand several times or even dozens of times in size, making ordinary clothes useless as they will be easily torn apart by a transformation.

After experiencing several battles where he was "running naked", Rorschach rarely wore the normal military uniform issued by the Navy Headquarters, and instead wore the changing bracelet developed by Lilith.

After the incident in Wano Country, his abilities were further upgraded. He could transform the lightning and fire that he controlled into clothes, achieving an effect similar to that of natural elements. He no longer had to worry about the possibility of his clothes being damaged during battle.

But today, he once again wore the admiral uniform that the Navy Headquarters had specially tailored for him when he was promoted to admiral.

This general's uniform consists of sky blue clothes and pants, black military boots, a white hat and the admiral's iconic white cloak of justice. There are golden ears of wheat on the shoulders of the clothes corresponding to the position of governor.

Rorschach was tall, much taller than Skylark, so he could only sit in front of the dressing mirror, looking at Skylark, who was also wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, stretching out his hands and buttoning his chest one by one.

Yun Que's expression was very serious. He pursed his lips slightly, and gently buttoned the last button on Rorschach's chest, then smoothed out the wrinkles on the clothes with his hands.

Rorschach's gaze passed through the mirror behind her and he could see Yun Que's frail body trembling slightly and uncontrollably.

Seeing the girl pursing her lips, saying nothing, lowering her head and walking past him, reaching out to take the cloak of justice on the bed, Rorschach, who had already made up his mind, felt a pain in his heart. He sighed and said in a bitter voice, "Skylark, I'm sorry."

Hearing his sigh and voice, Skylark, who had grabbed the white cloak with both hands, trembled violently. With his back to Rorschach, the calmness he pretended to have collapsed, his eyes turned red in an instant, and tears fell.

"Brother Rorschach!" She turned around with a choked voice and threw herself into Rorschach's arms. She stretched out her hands and used all her strength to hug Rorschach tightly, as if Rorschach would disappear from her sight if she let go. The tears rolling down her cheeks soon wet Rorschach's shirt on his chest.

Her petite body trembled uncontrollably and she cried in Rorschach's arms, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

The increasing indifference in Rorschach's eyes completely disappeared at this moment, replaced by an unprecedented gentleness. He slowly reached out and gently hugged the crying girl in his arms, placing his large palm on Yun Que's head, stroking it gently, as if he was comforting a child, and gently patting her back.

Yun Que, who was crying in his arms, raised her misty eyes and looked up at Rorschach's apologetic face. She reached out and stroked Rorschach's hard cheek, shaking her head desperately and said, "Brother Rorschach, you don't have to apologize to me. I should be the one to say sorry. It's because I didn't work hard enough, and I'm not good enough. If I could be stronger, you wouldn't... wouldn't..."

The words that can be heard and seen every day in this chaotic world can never be uttered by Yun Que at this moment.

She didn't dare to think, and didn't want to think, what would happen to her world without Rorschach.

Last night, Rorschach had told her everything that had happened to him without reservation, and also told her his plans.

When she learned from Rorschach that his life was about to come to an end and that he was going to go to Marijoa alone to fight a decisive battle with the entire World Government, Yun Que suddenly felt as if her world had fallen.

She could never believe that Rorschach, who had always appeared so strong and was at the most vigorous age, would soon come to the end of his life.

She didn't want to believe everything Rorschach said, but Skylark knew that Rorschach would not lie to her, and he had never lied to herself. Because of this, Skylark felt even more heartbroken, and she didn't want to lose Rorschach.

In Yun Que's heart, Rorschach is her relative and her husband. The two of them have always talked about everything. Although they have not officially become husband and wife, their relationship is as close as husband and wife, and they have even become husband and wife not long ago. Rorschach even plans to take her to her father to confess their relationship and propose to her after the battle of Ghost Island. Yun Que has been sweet for a long time, imagining the romantic scene of herself wearing a white wedding dress and becoming Rorschach's wife under the attention of everyone.

However, who could have imagined that this romantic fantasy would burst like a soap bubble soon after.

After Rorschach was hit head-on by the destructive beam of light from King Uranus on Wanbo Island, he was indeed considered dead.

At that time, all the flesh and blood in his body were shattered and annihilated by the super-dense energy. His soul was also severely damaged and on the verge of collapse, leaving only a skeleton.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will die completely in a few seconds, and the fruit in his body will be reborn somewhere in the ocean soon.

However, what Rorschach didn't expect was that he would be rescued by a crazy guy.

The person who saved him was Barrett, who was also hit by the King at the same time as him.

That madman Barrett, because of his unscrupulous use of the power of the Fusion Fruit, madly absorbed and fused countless people and people with special abilities. During his entire time in the Song Song World, he was in an uncontrollable state of madness, but his vitality was even stronger than Rorschach, who devoured the vitality of Kaido and the Elephant Lord.

But even so, under the direct bombardment of Uranus's high-powered destructive rays, his vitality was completely evaporated, and like Rorschach, he was about to die.

But the thinking of a madman is different from that of an ordinary person. When facing death, the crazy Barrett thought of Rorschach's ability to devour his vitality, and actually chose to die on his own initiative, dedicating his soul to Rorschach, allowing Rorschach to devour him.

At the level he and Barrett were at at that time, just like the Five Elders on Egg Island, physical injuries could no longer pose a fatal danger to them. Only the destruction of the soul would lead to complete death.

So after absorbing the soul that Barrett voluntarily contributed, Rorschach's soul, which was on the verge of collapse, was barely stabilized and deposited in the immortal Black Blade-level skeleton. Later on the Elbaf Island, he came into contact with other life forms, and after absorbing enough vitality, he successfully revived his flesh and blood and returned resurrected.

But as Barrett, who is still mixed in his soul, said, Rorschach's body is now filled with too many soul consciousnesses that do not belong to him.

Kaido's Blue Dragon consciousness, the demon Totumjika, Barrett, plus his own Kirin consciousness, and his own soul, so many complex souls, crowded in one body, have made Rorschach's body overwhelmed and on the verge of collapse at any time.

Now, he is just like Lucy, the heroine in Lucy. His overly powerful consciousness completely overrides his fragile body, and he is heading towards self-destruction uncontrollably.

There is only one way to solve this problem, and that is to have a strong body that can match his powerful soul.

However, the physical enhancement requires training step by step, and it cannot be quickly enhanced by directly devouring the souls of other lives like the soul. Even if Rorschach continues to use his devouring ability to devour the vitality of other life forms, it is just a stacking of vitality, and cannot substantially improve the physical level.

He needed time, plenty of it. But what Rorschach lacked the most was time. The chaotic soul in his body was oppressing his spirit, destroying his humanity, and making him lose himself.

On Danjian Island, when he swallowed up the demonic consciousness of Satan and Peter Saint again, the speed of annihilation increased again.

Rorschach is now like an unstoppable sea train, accelerating and speeding towards its doomed destination.

Even if he didn't go to Marijoa and deal with the World Government, he wouldn't have much time left.

Rorschach was never afraid of death, but he was afraid of seeing Yun Que's tears. This would make his guilt and reluctance increase infinitely, and would make him hesitate and confused.

He once again thought of the rainbow mist that could travel back in time. If such a thing really existed in this world, Rorschach wanted to go back in time.

If he could live his life over again, he wouldn't want to meet Yun Que in the North Sea. He didn't want to waste the rest of a kind girl's life because of himself.

Rorschach was never a playboy; on the contrary, he was easily satisfied.

Along the way, he met quite a few outstanding girls.

The bold and unrestrained Peacock, the unconventional Sera, the gentle and sweet Vivi, the gentle and intellectual Tina, the shy and cute Tashigi... There are many girls who admire him, but Rorschach never dares to accept them easily.

Because he always felt that he was happy enough, because he had Yun Que, a beautiful, kind, gentle and caring girl, who had been with him all the way since his most sad time and warmed his heart.

From the first sight of feeling close to each other in the North Sea to the heartfelt joy when they met again in Marinford. From revealing one's true feelings under the night sky of the Seven Waters City to the eternal romance of ringing the golden bell together on the top of the Sky Island 1 meters above the sky. From fighting side by side in the G naval battle to hugging each other tightly before pushing the city forward...

In just a few years, there were countless unforgettable memories, which were the spring, summer, autumn and winter that he and the girl in front of him had gone through together.

Compared to his previous life, this life didn't seem to be very long, but Rorschach had never felt so happy.

"Thank you, Skylark."

He held Yun Que's face in his hands, leaned down gently, and gave a passionate kiss to the girl he would never forget.

A tear fell from the corner of Rorschach's eye. Yun Que reached out her hand distressedly, wanting to wipe it away for Rorschach, but her hand fell halfway. The tear slid across Rorschach's cheek, dripped onto her slowly closing eyes, and wet her eyelashes.

Rorschach gently picked up the sleeping Skylark, as if he was holding a fragile piece of porcelain, and placed her on the bed in the bedroom with great tenderness. He then reached out to wipe the tears from her face and pulled the quilt over her.

Rorschach stood at the head of the bed, quietly looking at the sleeping Lark, looking at her face, as if he wanted to remember her appearance forever in his heart, in the depths of his soul.

After a long while, he picked up the cloak of justice on the bed.

"Click."

The door opened, and Rorschach, dressed in a sky blue military uniform, stepped out, his snow-white cape with the word "justice" written on it fluttering behind him.

He strode to the gate of the yard and saw an old man with purple hair and a frail appearance standing there, looking at him with a kind and gratified look.

"Teacher, the future of the navy, the future of this world, is in your hands." Rorschach walked up to Zephyr, just like he did many years ago during the special training in Marinford. He stood straight, raised his hands and chest, and like a new recruit, he saluted the respected old man in front of him with a standard military salute.

"Don't worry, go ahead. With me here, the navy won't be in chaos, and neither will the future of this world."

Zephyr returned the salute, then opened his arms and hugged Rorschach tightly.

The tall young man in front of him with a determined look was the last batch of students he taught at the Naval Headquarters. He was also the most outstanding student he had ever taught and the student he was most proud of.

Zephyr was very glad that he did not refuse Akainu's request.

This disciple of his turned the tide in one battle after another, fought bravely in the front, and was fearless in every battle. In this great pirate era where pirates were rampant, he fought his way out of a bloody path, earned the name of the famous General Lan Lin, and ended this chaotic pirate era.

He would rather die than surrender, and dared to kill Doflamingo despite the pressure from the World Government. He would rather go to prison than admit that he was wrong.

He was indomitable and fought for many years. He did not win every battle, but each defeat did not make him sink. Instead, he returned with an even harder attitude.

He was diligent and hardworking. No matter how hard the training was, he never complained. Even if he was in pain, he would still come to him full of energy and ask for more training the next day.

he……

Watching Rorschach's tall figure flying away rapidly and gradually disappearing over the G5 island, Zefa's body gradually hunched over and he leaned weakly against the courtyard wall, his eyes gradually becoming moist.

"Rorschach, no matter which world you come from, you are the most proud disciple of my Zefa in this life. Don't worry, teacher, even if I risk my life, I will protect the future you create."

Above the G5 island, Rorschach finally paused and looked back.

He saw Bepo, Palmer, and Kirin practicing hard in the square, saw Peng En teaching Ayu to read, saw Smoker and Drake boarding the warship and preparing to cruise the New World Ocean, saw Yamato sitting in a trance beside a farmland behind the island with his legs hugged, saw Rebecca learning swordsmanship from Tashigi, saw Mansherry reading the medical notes left by Law, saw Lilith, Vegapunk, saw Sentaomaru, Kuma, Bonnie, Kizaru, saw Dragon, Sabo, Sanji, Ivankov...

"It's a wonderful world, isn't it?"

A satisfied smile slowly appeared on Rorschach's indifferent face.

The next moment, his figure disappeared.

The people on G5 Island seemed to be aware of something and looked up at the sky, but in their eyes, there was nothing else except the slowly drifting clouds.

In the sky dozens of kilometers away from G5, a steel battleship was floating above the sea of ​​clouds. When Rorschach appeared out of thin air, he saw Enelu sitting cross-legged on the bow of the battleship, holding his Tianlong Halberd.

"Go back, Enel." Rorschach landed on the deck of Pluto's battleship, waved his hand to summon the Sky Dragon Spear, and held it in his hand. The Sky Dragon Spear seemed to sense his fighting spirit and began to vibrate.

"I can't go back." Enelu looked at the vast sea of ​​clouds outside the battleship with calm eyes, "What I did in the world of Gege violated the justice of the navy. The navy can no longer tolerate me."

"You can go back to Sky Island." Rorschach said again.

Enelu shook his head and said nothing. He just sat there, and the smell of loneliness on him became stronger and stronger.

Rorschach was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled, strode forward, put his arm around his shoulders, grinned, and said, "In that case, come with me to see if those rubbish from the World Government can withstand the wrath of the two Thunder Gods!"

"Okay." Enel did not break free from his hand and nodded slightly.
