Eneru was found by Kizaru dozens of meters deep in the sand.
To find this guy, Hina, with a group of Marine soldiers, almost turned over the entire shattered land within dozens of kilometers.
When Kizaru found him, he was barely breathing, more exhaling than inhaling, buried deep in the yellow sand, his consciousness on the verge of collapsing.
Eneru had been brutally struck in the chest by Kaido with a single club, breaking over a dozen ribs on the spot. When he slammed deep into the sand, even his heart stopped beating.
If it weren't for the Goro Goro no Mi still being able to give his body electrotherapy, Eneru might have been directly killed by that one blow from Kaido.
Kaido probably didn't expect that the Goro Goro no Mi user, who could unleash such exaggerated lightning attacks, would be so weak that he couldn't even withstand one of his blows.
One should know that the other Marine brat who could control lightning could even withstand three of his Haki-imbued attacks.
When Kizaru carried Eneru back to the Kirin, he happened to see Law, looking tired, wiping his hands as he walked out of the operating room. So he asked, "How is he? That kid."
Law exhaled and shook his head: "The situation is not optimistic. I just cut open his body and found that he not only has a lot of external injuries, but his internal organs also suffered severe shock, with a lot of internal bleeding."
"Cut... cut open?" A big question mark appeared on Kizaru's forehead.
Cutting a person open to observe injuries, that's something...
Truly worthy of being an Op-Op Fruit user.
If it were any other doctor, they might also be able to cut him open, but they might not be able to put him back together perfectly.
Law nodded: "These injuries seem severe, but I believe that with Rorschach's abnormal recovery ability, as long as he can wake up and eat a lot of food, like he did during training in Marineford, he can definitely recover from these internal and external injuries quickly."
Kizaru listened, deeply convinced.
He had witnessed Rorschach's absurd eating habits after fighting him.
Eating and digesting at the same time, while rapidly recovering from his injuries.
He was practically a monster.
"But that's where the problem lies." Law frowned deeply, a puzzled look in his eyes, "After Moria's damage transfer and my surgery, his injuries have been contained, but he just can't wake up."
"Can't wake up? Why?" Kizaru was startled.
His heart sank, and he thought, 'Damn it, could Kaido's attack not just be a physical blow, but also something like Big Mom's soul attack?'
"I suspect that Rorschach's spirit must have suffered some severe stimulation or damage. And this damage is very likely related to Gecko Moria or Kaido. Now, only after Moria wakes up and we find out the reason can we provide targeted treatment."
Law rubbed his throbbing temples, stepped forward, motioned for Palmer to place Eneru on the deck, then squatted down and examined Eneru's injuries, suddenly sighing again.
"This guy also needs surgery. Over a dozen ribs are broken, and multiple internal organs are damaged."
"That serious? Should we take him to the operating room?" Palmer's expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked.
"No need, we'll do it here. But before that, I need to rest first."
After Law finished speaking, he collapsed as if exhausted, sitting on the deck, leaning against the ship's railing. In less than five seconds, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He himself had sustained significant injuries and had just performed surgery on Rorschach, so he was already utterly exhausted.
Eneru, lying at his feet, watched the sleeping Law with open eyes, enduring the waves of stinging pain surging through his body, cursing inwardly.
'At least do something for me, I feel like I'm dying.'
Eneru felt that he had lost his mind during the day to recklessly charge at that demon-like man.
He should have taken the opportunity to sneak away when Rorschach was being beaten.
What's the point of being a Marine? Isn't it better to go back to Skypiea and be a god?
No, that kid can fly, so going back to Skypiea doesn't seem very safe either.
He still needed to go to the Endless Vearth.
But the Ark Maxim was only half-built and not completed at all, so he couldn't go even if he wanted to.
Go somewhere else in the Blue Sea?
But then he thought, he wasn't familiar with this Blue Sea, and if he happened to run into another demon king like Kaido, his future days might be even worse than now.
And what kind of hellish place is this Blue Sea? How many strong people are there?
One Kaido ran away, and now there's another unfathomable, creepy old man.
Eneru suddenly felt that his life was bleak.
Damn it, I really want to go to the Endless Vearth...
Three days later.
The door to the infirmary was pushed open, and Hibari entered, carrying a basin of hot water.
She skillfully picked up the towel from the warm water, wrung it dry, lifted the thin blanket covering Rorschach, and gently wiped Rorschach's body.
Looking at Rorschach lying on his back with his eyes closed, Hibari couldn't help but reach out and caress his cheek.
Three days. Three full days had passed since that sudden disaster.
But Rorschach was still not awake.
Hibari had been sleeping in the infirmary for these three days.
She couldn't bear to leave Rorschach alone here.
Nor did she want to go back to the captain's cabin to rest by herself.
The captain's cabin, without Rorschach, felt empty.
Not seeing the boy's occasional blush, or occasional daze, Hibari felt that something was missing.
If she could, Hibari actually wished Rorschach could be a less outstanding, more ordinary Marine soldier.
That way, perhaps he wouldn't have to go to the most dangerous places every time.
Like her father.
Perhaps they could find a Marine branch in one of the four seas, become ordinary Marine officers, fight small pirates, and live a more leisurely life.
However, Hibari knew that Rorschach wouldn't do that.
This boy had a heart that yearned to change the world.
His ambition was great.
He wanted to protect the Marines, he wanted to save civilians, he wanted to quell chaos, and he wanted to reshape order.
He had said, "When successful, help the world; when unsuccessful, cultivate oneself."
Since Heaven had given him opportunity and power, he should do what he could for this tattered world.
And he indeed did so.
Sabaody, Water 7, Spring Queen City, Mock Town, Skypiea, Alabasta, he did many things within his power.
Although his ideas were always called too naive by Law.
But this stubborn boy had said that some things always needed someone to do.
If you don't do it, I don't do it, and everyone just gives up, this world will only get worse.
But Hibari always felt that Rorschach was in a hurry.
He was in a hurry to improve his strength, in a hurry to strike at pirates.
But he was only fourteen years old; he had a long future ahead, so why was he in such a hurry?
Hibari once asked Rorschach this question one night.
At that time, Hibari remembered, the boy said he was afraid.
Afraid that everything he was experiencing now was a long, illusory dream.
Afraid that one day, this long, illusory dream would shatter.
Afraid that the happiness, suffering, joy, emotion, and sweet times he had experienced were all fake.
Afraid that one day, he would suddenly wake up from the dream and lose everything.
Because of fear, he worked incredibly hard, wanting to see, wanting to strive.
Hibari couldn't understand what Rorschach meant by those words.
But she saw the loneliness hidden deep within the boy's heart.
He was like a ghost detached from this world, longing to integrate, longing for someone to accept him.
Therefore.
Hibari wanted to be the first to accept him.
On that starlit night in Water 7, at the blood-soaked port of Spring Queen City, beneath the clear, cold sky of Skypiea.
The girl always silently reached out to him.
"Brother Rorschach, please wake up quickly." Hibari caressed Rorschach's cheek, leaned down, and gently kissed his forehead. "Although I don't know why you're afraid this is a dream, I want to tell you that even if all of this truly is an illusion, Hibari will be the only reality in this dream."
"Moria, can you tell me what happened to my disciple? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
On the deck of the Kirin, Kizaru, holding a bowl of noodles, sat on the ship's railing, eating his noodles while slowly asking Moria, who was wrapped in bandages.
"You'd better think carefully before answering, because I'm not the only one waiting for this answer."
Moria sat in silence, looking at the five Den Den Mushi lined up on the deck in front of him.
From left to right, they were Akainu, Aokiji, Zephyr, Sengoku, and Garp.
On the vast deck, the air seemed to have solidified.
Looking at the five familiar faces simulated by the Den Den Mushi on the ground, a monstrous wave surged in Cobra's heart.
What kind of lineup was this?
One former Marine Admiral, three current Marine Admirals, one Marine Hero, one Marine Fleet Admiral.
Spanning several eras, the most powerful men in the Marines were all here.
Any one of them, pulled out at random, could shake the world with a stomp of their foot.
Not to mention now, they were all present.
Cobra had thought that Rorschach might be highly regarded in the Marines, given his excellent aptitude.
But what was this?
Could that kid be the bastard son of the Five Elders?
After a moment of silence, Sengoku's Den Den Mushi spoke.
"Moria, tell us exactly what you saw and what you did. Don't worry, given that you actively helped Rorschach... the Marines, your invasion of the Alabasta Kingdom will not be pursued further by the Marines."
Upon hearing this, Cobra quickly added, "My Alabasta Kingdom will also not pursue your responsibility."
"Your Majesty Cobra, thank you," Sengoku said gratefully.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you're too kind. Major Rorschach helped our Alabasta defend against Crocodile and Kaido. We should be thanking the Marines," Cobra replied politely.
Sengoku and Cobra had both stated their positions, but Moria remained silent.
At this point, the short-tempered Garp couldn't hold back. He puffed out his mustache and glared, muttering, "I say, Moria, you're a Shichibukai, why are you so slow to speak? Are you really that afraid of that bastard Kaido? Hurry up, tell us what you know so Law can wake up my disciple. If anything happens to my disciple, I'll never let you off!"
Aokiji frowned slightly, wondering what he was thinking.
Zephyr remained silent, just listening.
But Akainu spoke.
He only said one sentence, and Moria's blank expression crumbled.
"Your Thriller Bark is currently at G-2 Branch."
"If Rorschach wakes up, you can take your remaining crew back and continue being a Shichibukai. If Rorschach doesn't wake up, you'll go to Impel Down, and your comrades will die."
After Akainu finished his second sentence, Moria, in a hoarse voice, recounted what had happened.
When everyone heard that Moria had forcibly stuffed five thousand people's shadows into Rorschach's body, allowing Rorschach to unleash terrifying combat power that briefly overwhelmed Kaido, everyone on the Kirin was shocked.
The air on the deck was eerily silent until Garp's loud laughter broke the stillness.
"Hahahaha, Kaido was beaten to the point of spitting blood by Rorschach? Really? Moria, don't lie to me. If this is true, I'll wake up laughing in my dreams. Sengoku, Zephyr, did you hear that? My disciple made Kaido spit blood. Quickly tell Morgans to print it in the newspaper! I want him to lose face among his peers in the New World! Being injured by a fourteen-year-old kid, what kind of 'strongest creature in the world' is that, hahahaha! So satisfying!"
"Ararara, this is truly... surprising," Aokiji also sighed with emotion.
"Garp, Rorschach wasn't taught by you alone. However, being able to step on Kaido's ugly face is indeed a satisfying thing. I think his title of 'strongest creature in the world' will sooner or later fall to Rorschach's head," Zephyr's mood also seemed to have become exceptionally pleasant.
Akainu, however, did not speak.
Kizaru, holding his bowl, was so surprised he forgot to slurp his noodles.
"That's scary, Rorschach, daring to hit Kaido's face."
Sengoku's face was dark, and he couldn't help but roar, "What are you all so happy about?! Is this a time to be happy?! That brat isn't awake yet! And Kaido lost face this time, who knows if he'll come looking for Rorschach again? Especially you, Garp! And publishing it in the newspaper, how could you even think of that? Don't push that bastard Kaido too hard, or he'll tear down all our Marine bases in the New World!"
He took a few deep breaths and continued, "So, it seems that the reason Rorschach hasn't woken up is because he was stuffed with too many shadows at once, and both his body and spirit were severely stimulated. Law, do you have any ideas?"
Law, who had been standing by, frowned and pondered for a moment, then looked at Moria and said, "I need to feel it before I can make a judgment. Moria, use your ability to put a few shadows into my body."
"It's daytime now, if you lose your shadow..." Hibari warned.
Law waved his hand, "Just hide in a dark place."
"Then I'll do it! Cut my shadow and put it into the Lieutenant Commander's body, let him feel it," Palmer was the first to step forward.
"Me too!" Bepo also jumped out, raising his hand.
Marine soldiers stepped forward one after another.
"We don't need that many. Palmer, Bepo, just you two. I just need to feel the effect on the spirit when shadows enter the body."
Law picked Palmer and Bepo.
The two immediately accepted the order and ran to a dark spot inside the ship's cabin.
Moria didn't hesitate, directly activating his ability, cutting off their shadows and putting them into Law's body.
As Palmer and Bepo's shadows entered his body, Law's body visibly expanded by a circle, blue veins bulged on his skin, and his eyes became somewhat deep and dark.
A chilling aura immediately emanated from him.
However, because the number of shadows inserted into his body was small, his consciousness didn't become clouded.
He closed his eyes, carefully experiencing the sensation at that moment.
After a while, he opened his eyes, and facing everyone's expectant gazes, he slowly nodded.
"I have a plan."
