Chapter 73
"I really don’t know why Captain Rorschach gave this fruit to you. That lightning teleportation speed just now is probably about the same as Captain Rorschach’s. If he ate the fruit, wouldn’t he become the fastest man in the world?"
Mikita stood up with a flushed face and patted her butt. Nami always used such embarrassing moves during fights, making her a little afraid to spar with Nami now.
Rorschach had mentioned before that his fruit had no side effects, and he himself said he could eat another Devil Fruit, but he was still unsure whether to do so.
After all, the Float-Float Fruit was already very strong. Eating another fruit would bring the weakness of seawater and Seastone, which made him hesitate.
"Pfft... The fastest man? Mikita, you really dare to say that. If Rorschach hears this, you’re definitely getting it tonight."
Nami burst out laughing, looking like she wanted to laugh but was trying to hold it in.
"Eh? He probably didn’t hear, right?"
Mikita suddenly broke out in cold sweat. She glanced guiltily at Rorschach, who was sparring with Reiju nearby.
Seeing how focused he looked, she assumed he hadn’t heard and breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, I think Rorschach definitely heard it. After all, he has Observation Haki. He’s a ’God’ now — is there anything he doesn’t know?"
Seeing Mikita relax, Nami grinned mischievously and put an arm around her shoulder.
"I’d welcome you as a sister anytime. That way you can find out just how strong Rorschach really is."
Nami raised an eyebrow at Mikita, who looked like she wanted to cry, accepting her fate.
However, she didn’t seem too resistant to the idea of Rorschach. She had probably already been completely won over during this time.
The more Mikita thought about it, the redder her face became. In the end, she turned into a steaming mess and ran straight out of the training room. Nami stood there laughing heartily.
"These two girls, seriously..."
After neutralizing Reiju’s attack, Rorschach shook his head helplessly.
Of course he had heard what the two girls were saying. He was constantly keeping his Observation Haki active — not just passively sensing attacks, but actively "listening" and monitoring the situation across the entire Skypiea.
"Hehe, isn’t this pretty good? Another crew member has fallen to Captain Rorschach. I wonder if I’ll be next?"
Reiju stopped her attack and chuckled softly. As the first crew member to learn Observation Haki, she had naturally heard Nami and the others’ conversation.
The latter part of her sentence was spoken with a seductive tone, and her movements were extremely alluring as she deliberately showed off her figure.
Seeing Reiju’s full feminine charm and seductive look, Rorschach couldn’t help swallowing.
"Opportunity!"
Suddenly, Reiju accelerated and charged at Rorschach. Her palm was about to press against his chest.
But Rorschach grabbed her outstretched hand. With a powerful pull, he yanked her toward him. Reiju ended up with her back against his chest, firmly embraced in his arms. The arm he grabbed was locked in a hugging position, leaving her unable to move.
"Hm? Captain Rorschach, are you that impatient? You want to claim me right now?"
Reiju didn’t panic at all. She turned her head slightly, revealing half her face with upturned lips, still speaking to Rorschach in a seductive tone. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"This little vixen... She really knows how to seduce people. If I don’t teach her a lesson today, she won’t know who’s the captain of this ship."
Rorschach thought fiercely in his heart, then leaned in toward Reiju.
"Mm."
Reiju’s pupils suddenly shrank. A flash of panic crossed her face. She hadn’t expected Rorschach to actually go through with it. Normally, even though Rorschach liked to get handsy, he never forced the crew.
This was the key reason she dared to tease him so boldly. But this time Rorschach seemed serious, causing her to momentarily forget to resist. freewebnøvel.com
As time passed, Reiju’s eyes became hazy. She seemed to have forgotten that she came here for training.
"Wow~~ I didn’t expect Sister Reiju to be so bold."
Nami, who had been watching for a while, couldn’t hold back her exclamation. The other girls had also been watching.
Hearing Nami’s cry, Reiju’s eyes instantly cleared. She then erupted with tremendous strength that even Rorschach couldn’t react to in time. She immediately broke free from his embrace, covering her small mouth with a flushed face.
"I lost control. I’ll stop training for today. You all continue."
Although she was very embarrassed, unlike Mikita, Reiju didn’t run away. Instead, she nodded to Nami and the others, then walked out of the training room with elegant steps.
"I’m really envious of Sister Reiju..."
Kaya watched Reiju’s departing figure with envious eyes, then looked down at her own chest.
"Uuu... When will I grow up..."
She said in a somewhat dejected tone. Kaya was only fifteen now, and Rorschach had said she was still too young.
"Kaya-chan, do you really want Captain Rorschach to pamper you that much?"
Vivi said with a shy red face. Although she was more mature, Vivi was actually one year younger than Kaya and was only fourteen now.
"Vivi-chan, you’re so mean..."
Kaya’s face also turned bright red.
Since the two of them were the youngest crew members, they quickly became close friends who could talk about anything. Vivi had naturally noticed Kaya’s feelings of admiration for Rorschach.
Rorschach glanced at everyone present. It seemed no one was in the mood for training anymore.
He shrugged and also left the training room. His stomach was feeling a bit hungry, so he went out for a meal.
However, while Rorschach was leisurely eating lunch on Skypiea, he had no idea that the world below in the Blue Sea had already exploded.
World Economic Journal Headline:
[Shock! The true identity of East Blue’s strongest bounty hunter, the Dual-Blade Rorschach, is actually the disciple of the legendary Great Pirate ’Golden Lion’ Shiki! Rorschach fooled all the Navy higher-ups by hiding his identity!]
[The ’Strongest Bounty Hunter of East Blue’ who once hunted pirates — is he finally going to become a pirate too?!]
[Shock! Is the ’Devil Child’ Nico Robin in that kind of relationship with ’Golden Lion II’ Rorschach?! Nico Robin officially joins Rorschach’s crew.]
[Former Flying Pirate crew members publicly declare they are searching for Rorschach’s location! Welcoming the Young Master’s return!]
[...]
Paradise, somewhere in the first half of the Grand Line.
On an unnamed small island.
Crocodile, with a cigar in his mouth and bandages still wrapped around his body, looked at the newspaper in his hand with a somewhat gloomy expression.
"Nico Robin... What a cunning woman. So this man is your next host?"
"Hmph, I will defeat him sooner or later and become the Pirate King."
Whoosh.
Crocodile casually tossed the newspaper aside and turned to leave in a certain direction. This news didn’t affect him.
He had been awakened by this defeat and regained his original ambition. He would regain his strength and climb to the top of this sea to become its ruler.
...
New World.
Dressrosa, inside the royal palace on the King’s Plateau.
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Doflamingo revealed a strange, evil smile.
"Fufufufu... ’Golden Lion II’? How interesting. He hid his identity so well before, and now he’s exposed it. Just what is your purpose... Hohahaha, this sea is getting more and more interesting."
Ever since Rorschach defeated Crocodile, he had been paying attention to this person. He had ordered his subordinates to investigate Rorschach’s information, but the man seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
Other than the five years he spent living on a deserted island that he himself revealed, there was only information from after he debuted.
It was as if any information about his past didn’t exist. This had caught the attention of this underground world king.
