"Ziiing!"
A sharp metallic sound echoed in the sky.
Rorschach looked ahead to see a double-edged spear embedded in the ground, its sharp blades and tip still glowing with lightning.
The black body of the spear seemed to be made of meteoric iron, surrounded by ancient engravings that gave it a heavy presence.
"Hahaha, Rorschach! This is a gift from Brother Sakazuki, seized from that old man Wang Zi. Try it and see if it suits you."
A bold laugh came from the nearby sea, reaching Rorschach's ears.
"A gift from Uncle Sakazuki? Stolen from the great pirate Wang Zi?"
Rorschach's eyes widened.
Sakazuki had gone to the New World — did he confront the great pirate Wang Zi?
He reached out and grasped the spear, which was still vibrating, pulling it from the ground.
The spear was four meters long, its body thicker than a human arm.
Even with Rorschach's strength, he felt the weight of the spear as he held it.
The weight of this spear was no less than ten tons.
Yes, ten tons, not ten kilograms.
Though this weight may seem exaggerated, this is the world of One Piece, where the heroes' strength defies expectations.
In the manga, the octopus Hatchi wielded swords weighing 300 kg each, totaling 1,800 kg together.
The small demon Oars wielded a weapon that was dozens of meters long, with an unknown weight.
And Diamond Jozu hurled massive ice blocks 60-70 meters in diameter, weighing millions of tons.
Not to mention old Garp, who loved throwing iron balls larger than the Sunny ship.
And Kaido, who wielded a massive club that was certainly no lightweight.
For Rorschach, a user of the mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, this heavy spear was the perfect weapon.
"Boom!"
Rorschach shifted back into his six-meter-tall blue hybrid form. In this state, the four-meter-long spear looked relatively short.
"Zzzzz!"
Sparks of lightning flowed into the black spear, and in an instant, the spear burst into a brilliant light that even stunned Sakazuki from afar.
This effect had never appeared even when the spear was in Wang Zi's hands.
It seemed that the spear, which Wang Zi had named 'Tenryū no Yari (Celestial Dragon Spear)', was naturally attuned to Rorschach, who controlled lightning.
Now, it was as if the spear, a hidden gem, had been uncovered to reveal its true nature.
At this moment, Rorschach appeared to merge with the spear in his hand, releasing a majestic and powerful aura.
This mighty energy that surged toward the sky was enough to make Smoker, who was descending from above, break out in cold sweat.
Despite being a natural Logia user, Smoker felt a lethal threat emanating from Rorschach.
The sense of danger coming from a 13-year-old made him feel ashamed.
"Ah! White Smoke Shooter! White Dragon!"
Smoker transformed, and massive clouds of white smoke formed into a giant and terrifying dragon in the sky, gripping the black 'Ten Hands' staff in its claws as it rushed fiercely toward Rorschach's head.
Rorschach's long silver hair fluttered in the air, and lightning cracked around him. Grasping the spear with both muscular hands, he slashed the space between him and the approaching white dragon.
"50 Million Volts!"
"Lightning Slash!"
The heavy spear descended, shattering the air above, causing a massive explosion.
The white dragon, descending from the sky, was torn apart by the shockwave that surged upward, shattering the grip holding the staff.
The massive smoky dragon exploded, dispersing into smoke that filled the sky.
Boom!
In the sky above Marineford's square, a devastating air blast erupted.
The violent waves of air swept through the crowd, sending everyone watching the battle flying.
Hundreds of new recruits were blown away like straw, leaving only Rorschach's towering figure standing straight in the center of the field, holding the heavy black war spear, his aura blazing like fire, as if ready to pierce the heavens and tear the earth apart!
"This boy! His aura… it's truly terrifying! And so young!" Adilla leapt from the warship, standing on the stone steps of the inner bay, looking from afar at the silver-haired boy standing proudly in the center of the square, a smile of admiration appearing on his face.
Behind him, Akainu's eyes reflected Rorschach's proud stance, and his heart trembled slightly.
Even someone as notoriously strict as he was quite satisfied with Rorschach's performance at this moment.
"He pierced through! He pierced through!"
Suddenly, a commotion broke out among the new recruits.
They watched Smoker, who was re-forming his body on the distant ground, his face pale as death.
The faces of over a thousand new recruits were filled with shock, their eyes full of awe as they gazed at Rorschach, who was slowly reverting to his human form.
At that moment, none of these recruits had a shred of contempt or disdain for Rorschach anymore.
All they had was respect and reverence for his strength.
This young recruit from the North Blue had truly broken through the new recruits' training camp.
Not only that, but even the team of instructors from the base officers couldn't stand against him.
And it seemed as if it had been easy for him, with no signs of exhaustion.
Could a new recruit really do this?
The new recruits had completely lost the will to compete with Rorschach.
Because this boy had reached another level, far beyond their reach.
This is what they called a monster!
A new monster from the North Blue!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions echoed in the sky as several large figures swiftly stepped on the air, flying in from afar, landing in front of Rorschach.
Everyone stared intently, and immediately stood upright, saluting.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Vice Admiral Garp! Admiral Zephyr!"
Heavy footsteps approached from behind, and everyone turned toward the sound to see a towering, explosive figure like a volcano coming closer.
"Admiral Akainu!"
When Rorschach saw Akainu's familiar figure, a sincere smile appeared on his face.
"Uncle Sakazuki! Uncle Adilla!"
"It's been a while, Rorschach! Your progress has truly amazed us!"
Adilla stepped forward, heavily slapping Rorschach's shoulder before saluting Fleet Admiral Sengoku, then smiled and moved aside.
Akainu stepped in front of Rorschach and gave him a slight nod.
"Don't slack off; this strength is far from enough."
"Yes! I won't slack off, Uncle Sakazuki!"
Rorschach stood straight, just as he had on Akainu's warship, raising his hand in salute to the most iron-blooded soldier in the base.
"Well done, boy! You've got half the glory I had in my youth! Hahahaha!"
Garp laughed heartily, patting Rorschach on the shoulder.
Even Zephyr was smiling.
The eyes of the three old men were full of light, as Rorschach's performance had truly delighted them.
They had found a treasure!
