As Rorschach locked onto the aura inside the Kamabakka Kingdom's paradise and stepped into the grand hall, the first thing he saw was the drastically changed appearance of the giant Palmer, exposing a large area of his now delicate skin.
The visually overwhelming sight of two massive peaks made Rosha's nose heat up, almost causing a nosebleed.
Rorschach's sudden appearance immediately caught the attention of everyone in the hall.
It was inevitable—his towering height of 2.7 meters, his flowing silver hair, and the pristine white cape of his colonel's uniform made him stand out like a firefly in the dark.
"A Marine!"
After a brief moment of shock, the dancing okamas in the hall screamed in panic, scrambling towards the walls to grab weapons that were placed there.
"So scary... if they all grab weapons, it could be a real threat to me."
Rorschach glanced at Ivankov, who was staring back at him, and extended his index finger.
A streak of silver-white lightning rapidly expanded into a thick electric cable, circling the entire hall along the right wall in an instant.
This was the last bit of electric power stored in Rorschach's body.
After using it now, his lightning abilities would be completely drained.
The surge of electricity, at approximately ten million volts, instantly destroyed nearly all the firearms, explosives, and rocket launchers around the perimeter of the hall, causing explosions and flames to erupt.
"Aaaah!"
Men and women dressed in fancy outfits were thrown by the shockwaves of the explosions.
Some who had just grabbed their weapons found them exploding in their hands, causing severe injuries.
The sudden chaos snapped Palmer out of his terror-stricken daze.
And then he saw Rorschach.
Palmer was no stranger to Rorschach.
Just hours ago, Rorschach had arrived in a flash of lightning and kicked Shiryu, who had slashed Palmer's arm, flying with ease.
The power-worshiping giant Palmer was greatly impressed by this feat.
This little navy officer, who was standing before him now, was clearly far stronger than the Marine major named Law.
The prison warden who had overwhelmed Palmer earlier had been utterly dominated by this silver-haired boy, left charred and unconscious in the end.
Seeing Rorschach as his only hope, Palmer rushed over with teary eyes, sobbing, "R-Rosha Colonel, please save me! If you can turn me back into a man... I'll join the Navy!"
Rorschach, who had been fully focused on guarding against Ivankov, looked up and saw the enormous bouncing waves in front of him, dominating his entire field of vision.
"Pfft!"
The burning heat in his nasal cavity could no longer be stopped, and a stream of blood flowed down.
Rorschach hurriedly covered his nose and mouth, shutting his eyes tightly.
"Don't look! Don't look!"
Palmer, Palmer... Do you have any idea how much psychological trauma your reckless actions are causing a 14-year-old boy?!
"Feeling shy, Marine boy? I know your name... Rorschach, right?"
As soon as Rorschach closed his eyes, a deep, chilling male voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
In his Observation Haki perception, Ivankov had already flashed behind him, his gloved hand with extended nails thrusting toward Rorschach's lower back.
"Rorschach boy, no need to envy Palmer. If you want to become a girl, I can help you anytime!"
"Emporio! Female Hormones!"
"Deep Blue Armament!"
Thinking of Palmer's drastic transformation, Rorschach felt a chill run down his spine and goosebumps rose all over his body.
Without hesitation, a deep blue Armament Haki surged from within him, rapidly covering his entire body like a tide.
He reinforced his waist area the most, layering it thickly with Haki.
"Clang!"
A dull thud rang out as Ivankov's extended nails bent upon impact with Rorschach's hardened defense.
Ivankov looked at his bent nails in shock, then at the deep blue-glowing Rorschach, who now resembled a tiny blue statue. His face twisted in astonishment.
"F-Full body Armament Haki coverage?! Didn't you just join the Marine Headquarters last year? How is this possible? How the hell can a rookie achieve such a level of Haki mastery?!"
"Lord Ivankov! Be careful! He's the one who defeated the Impel Down head warden, Shiryu of the Rain!"
From the chaotic crowd, a man wearing mismatched black and white glasses and holding a wine glass shouted loudly.
"W-What?!"
Ivankov let out a terrified scream and retreated more than ten meters in an instant, staring at Rorschach with fear in his eyes.
"Y-You defeated Shiryu of the Rain?"
Covering his large face in panic, Ivankov frantically rubbed his curly hair, his eyes filled with terror.
"Are you kidding me?! Even a man like Shiryu was beaten by you?! Then someone like me will definitely die!"
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"
"Are we really going to die, Lord Ivankov?!" The okamas huddled together, trembling.
"No way! I am the queen of miracles!"
Ivankov confidently turned around, grinning widely to reveal his white teeth, and with wide-open eyes, rapidly blinked toward Rorschach.
"Death Wink!"
"Boom!"
Rorschach's Haki-covered body trembled violently, as if struck by a cannonball, sending ripples across his armored skin.
"So I won't die after all?! We were tricked again! Long live Lord Ivankov!"
The okamas cheered with raised hands, their shouts shaking the hall.
On the stage, the dancers resumed their moves—someone played the violin, another the piano.
Some heavily made-up, burly men with thick eyebrows hugged each other tightly, touching and caressing.
"This place... is absolutely insane..."
Rorschach felt like he had been chopping onions all day—his eyes burned from the sheer absurdity of it all.
The atmosphere in the hall was beyond bizarre.
Just a moment ago, he had detonated numerous weapons and injured dozens of people.
Now, they were back to playing music and dancing.
Sometimes, Rorschach really couldn't understand how people's minds worked in this world.
As Rorschach didn't immediately attack, Ivankov also stopped moving.
The two stared at each other.
Beside Rorschach, the now feminized and towering Palmer curled up against the wall, hugging his chest with a pitiful expression, his large watery eyes filled with hope.
Rorschach felt chills down his spine and swallowed nervously, keeping a sharp watch on Ivankov's hands, wary of his bizarre abilities.
Noticing Rorschach's cautious gaze, Ivankov giggled and suddenly stabbed his fingers into his own waist.
With a series of gurgling sounds, Ivankov's burly, muscular body rapidly transformed into an hourglass figure—curvaceous and voluptuous.
"Mmm~ Rorschach boy, don't you want to experience being a girl?"
Ivankov, now with an incredibly beautiful face, gazed at Rorschach with a teasing expression.
"With your body and looks, if you become a girl, I guarantee you'll be the most beautiful woman in the world."
"Even more beautiful than the Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock~."
