Chapter 74
In the Marshal’s office at Navy Headquarters.
Marshal Sengoku sat at his desk with his two old friends.
Bang.
"That damn Morgan! Where does he put the Navy’s dignity?!"
Sengoku slammed his fist heavily on the desk. The reason was the World Economic Journal’s report about Rorschach fooling the Navy’s high command.
"Puhahahahaha! Everyone got played by that brat."
Garp laughed without restraint, still stuffing senbei into his mouth.
"Garp, stop talking like it has nothing to do with you! What we need to do now is stop these evil sprouts. He just debuted and he’s already able to fight an Admiral head-on, and even escaped from Aokiji. This kid will definitely become a major threat to the Navy in the future."
Garp always knew exactly when to anger Sengoku.
"Right now, we need to figure out how to capture this brat. From Aokiji’s description, he has a special physique like Big Mom and Kaido. Ordinary Vice Admirals are no longer a threat to him."
"Only an Admiral has the strength to capture him. But this kid somehow inherited the Golden Lion’s Float-Float Fruit. The Navy has no aerial military force. If the Golden Lion’s old subordinates find Rorschach, they will form a powerful threat."
Vice Admiral Tsuru calmly analyzed the situation. Just as she said, the Golden Lion’s former crew not only had many powerful pirates but also their own research team.
This was a force that could not be ignored. If Rorschach really gained their support and was given time to grow, a new Emperor might appear on the seas, and the balance of the world would be broken.
Originally, if Rorschach entered the New World, he would have to go through fierce battles with various powers. The New World’s territory was already saturated, so he would inevitably clash with major pirates. The Navy could then profit from the infighting and eliminate more pirates.
The problem was that Rorschach didn’t need to secure territory in the New World. He himself was a moving fortress. All his "territory" could fly into the sky at any time. No one could track his movements. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Sigh... At this point, we can only issue a bounty."
Sengoku sighed. Sending an Admiral specifically to capture Rorschach was currently unrealistic. The Admirals had their own missions, and capturing Rorschach wouldn’t be done in a day or two.
"With this kid’s strength and what he did in East Blue, his bounty should be at least 600 million berries," Tsuru thought for a moment and replied.
"Isn’t 600 million for a first bounty too high?!" Sengoku said in surprise.
"No, it’s just right. The real trouble would be if he joins up with the Golden Lion’s old subordinates in the New World. A 600 million berry headline bounty will probably make even the ’big shots’ in the second half unable to sit still. They will definitely try to recruit this kid."
"With this kid’s personality, he will never join any of those factions. At that point, our goal will be achieved."
Tsuru explained the reason in one breath. Sengoku immediately understood her intention.
It was a kill-by-praise strategy... Use a high bounty to make all forces pay full attention to Rorschach. Small-time pirates would be unconvinced and constantly harass him. Major pirates wouldn’t give up trying to recruit such a promising newcomer. If recruitment failed, Rorschach would offend those powers.
"Good! We’ll do it this way."
"Criminal Rorschach destroyed the East Blue Navy’s 16th Branch, killed Navy Captain Mouse and 2,000 marines, and is harboring the criminal Nico Robin. Bounty: 600 million berries."
In the end, Sengoku approved the 600 million berry bounty for Rorschach.
Meanwhile, Rorschach was currently enjoying himself on Skypiea, completely unaware that the Navy had placed a bounty on him.
He was lying in his palace, head resting on Raki’s lap, while Conis attended to him.
A few days ago, Wyper and Gan Fall had come to Rorschach’s palace and brought a group of Skypiean girls, saying they wanted to serve as God’s attendants. The upright Rorschach naturally refused their kindness.
However, they were persistent. As a God, how could he not have his own attendants? They insisted on leaving the girls.
Helpless, Rorschach could only choose Conis and the Shandian Raki as his personal attendants and had the others taken back.
Seeing that Rorschach only selected two girls, Wyper and Gan Fall breathed a sigh of relief and left the palace with the somewhat disappointed girls.
At first, Rorschach was not used to being served by others, but after a few days...
Emmmm... he had to admit — it felt really good.
"Lord God, ah..."
Raki held a peeled grape to Rorschach’s mouth. He opened his mouth and ate it.
Mmm, mixed with the fragrance of a young girl and the sweet freshness of the grape — delicious! So delicious!
[Ding! The sign-in system has detected the target: Skypiea. Do you wish to sign in?]
Whoosh.
Rorschach suddenly sat up. It was finally here!
This movement startled both Conis and Raki beside him.
"Lord God? Did something happen? Was Conis pressing too hard?"
Conis asked nervously. She had been massaging Rorschach’s calf just now, and he suddenly sat up. She thought it was her fault.
"No, it’s nothing."
"I have nothing to do today. I want to listen to some music."
Rorschach waved his hand to tell Conis not to worry, then lay back down.
Receiving the order, Conis took out her harp and began to play. Raki continued massaging Rorschach’s head to help him relax.
"Sign in."
Only then did Rorschach respond to the system.
[Ding! Obtained Wing Chun Fist]
[Ding! Obtained Observation Haki Experience Pack]
[Ding! Obtained Death Resistance 20%]
Hm? Death Resistance?
Rorschach’s pupils shrank instantly. Was this the Death Resistance he thought it was?
He quickly opened the system panel to check the description.
When Death Resistance reaches 100%, the host will not die. No means in this world can kill the host.
Current resistance: 20%. The host gains one Death Resistance halo per year. When the host dies, one layer of the halo will be consumed to prevent death.
Additionally, the host’s stamina will be restored to peak condition.
A divine skill!
Once he reached 100% resistance, what "undying" Kaido? In front of him, Kaido would be nothing but a little brother.
Kaido had fake immortality. He would have true immortality.
Combined with the Steel Balloon’s defense, no one in this sea would be his opponent anymore — not even the mysterious Im.
The surprise came too suddenly. Even Rorschach couldn’t stop the ecstatic smile from appearing on his face.
