One Piece: General Blue

"Roar!"

A colossal thunder dragon, over a hundred meters long and formed entirely of pure lightning, surged forth from Rorschach's hands as he gripped the Sky Dragon Halberd. It streaked across the air in a dazzling trail of light before slamming into the chest of the blood-red giant.

Simultaneously, the deep-blue war halberd in Rorschach's hands cleaved through Aristo's blood-red greatsword without resistance. Its momentum remained unbroken as the razor-sharp tip sliced across Aristo's chest.

"Shhhk!"

In an instant, a deep crimson line erupted across the broad chest of the blood-red giant.

This time, the halberd, imbued with Armament Haki, finally reached Aristo's true body, forcing a pained scream from the blood-red giant.

A long, narrow, and deep wound tore through the giant's chest, spilling an immense volume of blood that soaked the ground below, staining it a thick, sticky crimson.

Aristo's massive form staggered back several meters, his blood-red eyes blazing with fury as he prepared to charge again.

But before he could retaliate, the hundred-meter-long thunder dragon struck his chest.

"Boom!"

The sky-shattering sound of thunder roared across the archipelago, reverberating through more than a dozen mangrove areas in Sabaody. The explosion obliterated countless soap bubbles in the air, and the deafening noise sent shivers down the spines of nearby residents, who glanced skyward in fear and confusion.

"Aaaagh!"

Aristo's enormous body was struck directly by the terrifying lightning, causing blood to spray in all directions. The high-voltage thunder burned through the blood within his body, and in just a few seconds, the equivalent of hundreds of people's worth of blood was evaporated entirely.

As a result, Aristo's hulking frame shrank noticeably, reducing his height to just over seven meters.

Watching this unfold, Rorschach felt his resolve to grow stronger through disciplined training solidify even further.

Using external forces, as Aristo did, might offer short-term power, but for those seeking to stand at the pinnacle of the seas, it was never a sustainable path. True strength could only come from mastering power entirely under one's control, avoiding these unpredictable fluctuations.

"Bang!"

Rorschach's reverse-jointed legs propelled him forward with an explosive burst, shattering the air beneath him. Before Aristo could recover, Rorschach swung the Sky Dragon Halberd again in a powerful, downward arc.

His strikes were straightforward and unadorned, relying more on raw force than complex techniques.

As Karp, Zephyr, and Sengoku had taught him, mastering weapon techniques at Rorschach's age was already a bit late.

Unlike punches and kicks, weapons like swords, spears, and halberds required years of foundational training starting from a young age to develop advanced proficiency. Rorschach lacked this foundation.

However, his immensely powerful body, coupled with the abilities of his mythical Zoan fruit, allowed him to take a different path.

That path was pure, unrestrained power.

With overwhelming strength, he could crush and obliterate everything in his way.

"Absolute power trumps a thousand techniques!"

Under the monstrous physical enhancement of the mythical Zoan fruit, Rorschach wielded the halberd—laden with tons of weight and infused with immense Haki—with enough force to demolish even a hundred-meter-tall fortress.

And with the addition of wind and thunder elemental forces, even greater devastation awaited his enemies.

The deep-blue halberd spun in Luo Xia's hands like a baseball bat, smashing into Aristo's forehead in a massive, sweeping motion.

"Boom!"

The air in front of him exploded as the blood-red giant's head shattered piece by piece, crumbling from the top down.

"Crash!"

The blood-red giant's bulky body disintegrated, transforming into a torrential river of blood that instantly spread across the ground, painting an area of a hundred meters in deep crimson and continuing to expand outward.

Seeing this, Rorschach furrowed his brows. He realized Aristo had likely dismantled his own body at the last moment, transforming into this violent, blood-red torrent.

The blood wave grew larger and larger. In mere seconds, it had turned half of Mangrove Area 66 into a vast sea of blood.

Although Aristo's figure was nowhere to be seen, Luo Xia knew he wasn't dead.

The sea of blood beneath his feet radiated an overwhelming aura of vitality, as though it were a unique lifeform in a blood-sea form—bizarre and unsettling.

"Swoosh!"

Massive bulges of blood rose from the sea's surface, forming a gigantic face over ten meters tall.

It was Aristo's face.

"Marine brat! I admit, your strength is extraordinary. You are the strongest opponent I've encountered since setting out from the South Blue and arriving at the Grand Line. Come on! If you can defeat me now, I'll tell you why I aim to kill every marine in the world and the deceitful World Government!"

"Blood Sea Surge!"

Aristo's massive face, over ten meters tall, let out a thunderous roar, causing the blood sea below to erupt into utter chaos.

A torrent of blood surged into the sky, rushing towards Rorschach in relentless waves.

"Air Curtain!"

Rorschach released the Sky Dragon Halberd and grabbed the invisible air with both hands, as if pulling up a giant blanket of air a hundred meters wide. He slammed it down onto the incoming blood tide.

"Boom!"

Blood sprayed everywhere as the transparent air wall blocked the impact of the blood sea, forcing it to flow away, pushing the blood farther into the distance.

The blood surged again, reforming into Aristo's enormous face.

At the same time, two arms made entirely of blood, each 40–50 meters long, rose from the blood sea and swept aside the air wall, crashing down towards Luo Xia.

Rorschach's right leg swung with vacuum force, delivering a powerful kick.

"Tempest Kick! Air Slash!"

A 30-meter-long slash cut through the air, slicing one of the blood arms in half.

"Boom!"

The other massive blood hand descended, but Rorschach vanished in an instant, reappearing at the center of the blood sea. With a single swing of his halberd, he slashed at Aristo's massive blood-red face.

Deep blue Armament Haki and scorching white lightning spiraled around the halberd, effortlessly shattering the enormous blood face into pieces.

"Sizzle!"

Lightning coursed through the scattered blood, generating intense heat and evaporating the blood, draining Aristo's energy.

"Boom!"

Beneath Rorschach's feet, the blood sea churned violently as a massive blood hand, spanning a hundred meters wide, rose and clenched everything within dozens of meters, trapping Luo Xia in a crushing grip.

Caught off guard, Rorschach was engulfed by the endless blood.

"Blood Drain!"

Seeing Rorschach trapped, Aristo immediately activated the Blood-Blood Fruit's power to control blood, attempting to draw Luo Xia's blood from his body.

However, within the torrent of blood, LRorschach's six-meter-tall figure stood resolute, his body radiating a deep blue aura of Haki that rippled like seawater.

Despite the corrosive and invasive nature of the blood, Luo Xia remained unmoved. His Haki replenished itself continuously, wave after wave.

Within seconds, the lightning surrounding Rorschach's body began evaporating large portions of the blood, leaving Aristo's efforts in vain.

"Let's end this. This has gone on long enough," Luo Xia said, raising his right hand.

"Sizzle!"

Thick strands of lightning surged endlessly from within him, converging in the palm of his hand.

Amid a series of crackling explosions, the lightning ball above Rorschach's palm grew larger and larger.

Within seconds, a massive sphere of thunder, 20–30 meters in diameter, had formed. It began descending slowly toward the center of the blood sea.

"Blood Sea Surge!"

Sensing the deadly threat, Aristo poured all his energy into controlling the blood, launching it toward the falling lightning.

Hovering in mid-air, Rorschach watched as the thunder sphere descended into the blood sea.

"100 Million Volts!"

"Thunder Pool!"

"Sizzle!"

"Boom!"

The massive thunderball crashed into the blood sea, triggering a devastating explosion. Thunderous serpents of lightning spread out, piercing through the blood sea that spanned hundreds of meters, evaporating vast portions of the blood in an instant.

The violent lightning lit up the area like a blazing sun, illuminating the mangroves with dazzling brilliance.

Even people several kilometers away could see the blinding light.

It was only after more than ten seconds that the deafening explosion reached the surrounding areas, shaking the ground like an earthquake.

When the chaos subsided, the blood covering the ground had completely evaporated, revealing a towering, battered figure lying weakly on the grass.

"You... win."
