One Piece: General Blue

"Everyone, get ready!"

"Relax your muscles! Focus your attention!"

"Rorschach, start now."

In the plaza of Marineford, a formation of over a hundred elite marines, selected from the training camp, stood neatly aligned.

All of them wore only shorts, baring their sturdy physiques.

Among them were Law, Grus, and Bepo, prominently positioned at the front of the formation.

Zephyr, dragging a heavy mechanical arm, stood alongside a silver-haired boy standing 2.7 meters tall.

The aura emanating from both the older Zephyr and the younger boy was like towering mountains, creating an invisible pressure that weighed on the elite marines, leaving them feeling as if a massive boulder were crushing them, making it hard to breathe.

"Focus! Don't say I didn't warn you beforehand."

Rorschach, dressed in a wide Justice cape, flashed a bashful smile and gently raised one finger.

Accompanied by the crackling sound of electricity, a glowing orb of light appeared at his fingertip, gradually growing larger. Tiny electric arcs spread into the air.

"Muscle spasms caused by electric shocks might lead to a loss of bladder or bowel control~."

His bashful smile and soft voice felt to the elite marines like the devil's whisper and gaze.

"100,000 Volts – Electric Body Conditioning."

As Rorschach pointed forward, the marines instantly felt their scalps tingle and their bodies instinctively tense up.

The next moment, silver-white arcs of electricity spread through the air, forming a massive net over a hundred meters wide, enveloping the bare-chested marines.

The invisible current easily penetrated their proud, hardened muscles, rapidly breaking down tissue. What would usually require extensive training was achieved in mere seconds, exceeding expectations.

"Ahhhh!"

However, the hundred marines present were no ordinary soldiers. They were elite, selected from thousands across various bases.

The initial 100,000 volts of electric stimulation weren't enough to bring them down.

"200,000 volts."

Rorschach's smile widened as he watched Law's facial muscles twitch uncontrollably. He was tempted to capture the hilarious expressions Law made as his face transformed multiple times in mere seconds.

"300,000 volts."

As the electric current increased, more of the hundred-strong formation began to succumb. Some couldn't endure the current any longer, their bodies convulsing as they collapsed, rolling their eyes back.

Once a soldier fell, the current redirected itself into those still standing, further stimulating their muscles, blood vessels, bones, and nerves.

Time ticked by.

When the current flowing from Rorschach's fingertip surpassed 1,000,000 volts, only Law, clenching his fists tightly, remained standing, gritting his teeth to endure.

Bepo and Grus, unable to tolerate the sensation of their muscles breaking down under the current, had already decided to lie flat on the ground. Although their bodies hadn't reached their limits, they chose to stop.

"Impressive, Law! Your physical strength is improving rapidly!"

Rorschach's grin grew as he noticed that Law, who had recently undergone a second growth spurt and gained a few centimeters in height, was holding his ground.

"Shut up! Keep going!"

The skull tattoo on Law's bare chest twitched violently as his veins bulged and his muscles swelled under the strain. Unconsciously, he activated Tekkai, one of the Six Powers, to resist Rorschach's electric stimulation.

"Alright then, don't blame me if you lose control of yourself. That would be embarrassing!"

"5,000,000 volts – Full Discharge!"

Rorschach spread his fingers, and five silver arcs of electricity shot out instantly, intertwining to form an electric net that descended directly onto Law.

Crack!

With a sharp sound, Law's short hair stood straight up like needles, his eyes widened, and black smoke billowed from his mouth. His entire body went rigid as he collapsed stiffly like a wooden log.

"Ma… Major!"

Bepo was so frightened that all his fur stood on end.

"Relax. This guy isn't that fragile," Rorschach said with a cheerful smile as he approached, pressing a hand against Law's chest.

A faint electric current surged out, causing Law's chest to twitch slightly.

"Cough! Cough! Cough, cough!"

Violent coughing immediately erupted from Law as cold sweat covered his forehead. He gasped heavily for air, his breathing erratic.

"Not bad. Next time, if you can endure 5 million—no, 10 million volts of electrical stimulation without using Tekkai, I'd say you'd be close to awakening Armament Haki."

Rorschach smiled, patting Law on the shoulder before standing up and turning to Zephyr, whose face showed satisfaction.

"Teacher Zephyr, what do you think of this method? Is it too rough?"

"It is a bit crude and straightforward," Zephyr said, a slight smile tugging at his lips. "Using electricity to break down muscle tissue, followed by rapid nutritional recovery to enhance muscle strength, significantly reduces training time."

He glanced at the marines sprawled across the ground, their bodies twitching from the residual current.

"But it's highly effective. As long as they can endure it, their physical fitness will improve substantially in a short time."

"Unfortunately, very few people have the ability to release electricity so easily. And you can't stay here indefinitely. It looks like this phase of training will need to be paused for a while."

"Huh? Why?"

Rorschach was puzzled.

Zephyr chuckled. "Because after our discussions, it's been decided—you're graduating early from the recruit training camp."

"Graduating early? But… Teacher Zephyr, I feel there's still plenty of room for improvement. My strength is far from enough..."

Rorschach seemed reluctant.

"Stop pretending, kid. What, do you plan to stay in the camp until you're an admiral? Sengoku's been pestering me for months to get you out of here, complete your graduation tasks, and get assigned… er, transferred to one of the seas or allied nations along the Grand Line."

Zephyr turned and gestured for Rorschach to follow him. "Come on. For your final lesson before graduation, you'll experience your own Conqueror's Haki."

"My own Conqueror's Haki?"

Rorschach's heart skipped a beat.

Six months had passed since the incident at Sabaody. It was now June 1517 of the Sea Calendar.

Time had flown by.

Over the past six months, Rorschach had strictly followed Zephyr's training regimen, honing his body, Haki, martial arts, and weapon skills.

Aside from escorting the Decalvan Brothers and Giant Pirate Pamel to Impel Down five months ago, he hadn't left Marineford.

In total, it had been over ten months, nearly a year, since he left the North Blue.

Six months ago, under Black Horse's provocation, his Conqueror's Haki had awakened.

During this time, Rorschach had asked Zephyr about training methods for actively releasing Conqueror's Haki and the advanced technique of Haki infusion.

But Zephyr dismissed him, saying it was better to master fewer things thoroughly than to handle too much clumsily.

Another reason was that within the navy, very few people trained in Conqueror's Haki—only Sengoku and Garp.

Since the Sabaody incident, Sengoku had become overwhelmed with political duties.

As for Garp, he had taken a vacation back in the East Blue.

Kizaru was busy with the Science Division, Aokiji was focused on his maritime patrols, and Akainu had returned to the New World to oversee G1 Base.

Following Zephyr to the right side of the Justice Fortress, near the coastal waters of Marineford's outer perimeter, Rorschach expected Sengoku to take some time to instruct him.

However, to his surprise, for the first time in nearly six months, he saw Garp again.
