"Do the trainers really need to intervene to take on the new recruit, Rorschach?"
"The trainers who instruct us are at least of Major rank in the Navy. Moreover, Admiral Zephyr said the trainers should face him together, and there are no fewer than thirty trainers here!"
When the recruits heard Zephyr's orders, whispers of astonishment spread among them.
Even Hibari, who had great confidence in Rorschach, felt a bit worried.
"Brother Rorschach, maybe you should surrender. Among the trainers are Dawes and Uncle Smoker. Uncle Smoker is like my father, a strong Logia user."
Hibari said as she held Rorschach's arm anxiously, looking up at him.
"Don't worry, do you trust me, Hibari?"
Rorschach leaned in slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"Do you trust me, Hibari?"
"I... I trust you, Brother Rorschach," Hibari answered softly, her face turning red.
"Then watch how I take down that fool, Dawes!"
Rorschach clenched his fist, a savage smile forming as he glared at Dawes' shadow hiding behind Smoker.
"Yes!"
As soon as the trainers received Zephyr's orders, more than thirty high-ranking Navy officers rushed toward Rorschach with incredible speed.
All these officers were masters of the Navy's "Six Powers!" Handpicked to train new recruits, they were among the best officers in the Navy.
The new recruits at HQ were elite, requiring the best trainers to guide them.
In an instant, numerous officers wearing the white coats of justice surrounded Rorschach from all directions, launching their attacks using Rankyaku and Shigan.
Rorschach grinned and unleashed his own attack. The ground beneath him shattered as he leaped into the air, kicking a powerful storm arc that crackled with electricity.
"Rankyaku! Wind Cutter!"
His attack was far stronger than what he could have done before, even without using Life Return.
The arc of the storm glowed with lightning.
"Rankyaku!"
"Rankyaku!"
Facing this massive assault, the officers remained calm and started executing the same attacks to counter him.
Several smaller air kicks shot toward Rorschach's lightning-infused strike.
Explosions filled the air, sending waves of energy in every direction.
Lightning scattered in the air, paralyzing some officers who couldn't dodge in time, causing them to fall from the sky.
Though Rorschach's electric current wasn't strong enough to take out the officers entirely, its effect was significant.
The fallen officers quickly got back up and rushed toward Rorschach again.
"Relying on this small current won't be enough to take them down."
Rorschach clenched his fist, and a loud cracking sound echoed.
"Rorschach! I am Major Braniou from HQ!"
A bald officer advanced rapidly, using Geppo to reach Rorschach and delivering a powerful kick to his chest.
"Major Braniou, an honor! I am Lieutenant Rorschach!"
"Iron Fist!"
Rorschach launched a fierce punch that struck Braniou in the abdomen, making him groan and crash into the ground, creating a large crater upon impact.
"What? Did he knock him out with one punch?"
Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin, halfway into the fight, saw the terrifying scene and immediately felt some tension.
While considering letting others advance first, the muffled sounds of bodies colliding echoed again.
Four HQ lieutenants attacked together, two stabbing Rorschach in the back using Shigan.
Meanwhile, the two officers who tried to distract him from the front were taken down by one punch each, flipping upside down and crashing into the training grounds, joining Braniou.
A cracking sound suddenly erupted.
The two officers who stabbed Rorschach from behind let out stifled groans, as if they had seen a ghost.
Everyone saw how the officers' fingers, which had pierced into Rorschach's back, bent and twisted backward like hooks.
But Rorschach's back was only slightly torn at two spots on his clothes, with no marks visible on his skin underneath.
"I also know Tekkai, even while moving!"
Rorschach smiled and slammed his foot down hard, sending the two officers flying hundreds of meters through the air like cannonballs.
"Don't spread out! Attack him together! This kid has the potential of an admiral!"
A sharp shout came from the ranks of the officers.
A vein bulged on Rorschach's forehead.
"Dawes! You idiot!"
"Life Return!"
With a loud yell, Rorschach's body suddenly swelled, muscles bulging, ripping apart his shirt, revealing a body forged of iron and steel.
"Rankyaku! Circular Slash!"
His massive right leg spun at a terrifying speed, generating powerful air pressure, and unleashed a massive arc of energy, 30 to 40 meters long.
Smoker's eyes widened as he shouted, "Scatter!"
At the same time, his body exploded into thick white smoke, forming a ten-meter-tall smoke giant, trying to block the attack.
But the sharp arc sliced through the smoke giant, splitting it in half.
The faces of more than twenty officers behind Smoker instantly changed, and they began using their signature defensive techniques.
"Tekkai!"
"Tekkai! Steel!"
"Armament Haki Hardening!"
But before they could complete their defensive moves, the massive arc descended from the sky, accompanied by storms and thunder.
"Ahhh!"
In an instant, more than ten officers were sent flying into the air, coughing up blood with their faces pale as paper.
"Have you truly become a monster? This is insane!"
Dawes looked at his arms, where deep wounds had appeared, feeling intense pain.
Even Armament Haki wasn't enough to block the attack.
This wasn't an ordinary Rankyaku; it carried an electric current that damaged enemies and caused double the harm.
"You can't handle him. I'll take care of it!"
Smoker shouted loudly as his lower body turned into white smoke, flying toward Rorschach.
In the sky, as Smoker approached, Rorschach smiled.
"What a terrifying sight, Lieutenant Colonel Smoker, a legendary Logia user. Without Haki, Logia users are considered invincible."
"Kid, show me your full strength, or prepare to fall!"
"White Punch!"
From Smoker's smoke-covered body, countless punches rained down toward Rorschach like a storm.
"Really? Then, let's see!"
"Aoi Uroko Mode! Transformation!"
