Chapter 222
Chapter 222
The first time Rorschach met Big Mom was during one of her hunger pangs episodes. At that time, Big Mom had released sonic roars and Conqueror’s Haki because of her hunger pangs, and Rorschach had also used his dragon-aura-infused Conqueror’s Haki to clash with her. It counted as a greeting.
Hearing this, everyone showed speechless expressions. They already knew Rorschach had caused a huge scene at Big Mom’s tea party. But they never expected him to be this reckless — greeting someone of Emperor level with a clash of Conqueror’s Haki and Advanced Conqueror’s Haki right from the start? They couldn’t believe he actually said that.
Wait... now that they thought about it, when Red-Hair came a few days ago, he had also released his Conqueror’s Haki the moment he arrived. Connecting it with past events... it really did seem to be the case. Their speechless looks gradually turned into understanding.
"Gurarararara... Not bad, brat. Looks like that old bastard Shiki got himself a good disciple."
Whitebeard burst into laughter — a genuine, hearty laugh. It had been a long time since someone had amused him this much.
So Emperors greet each other by clashing Advanced Conqueror’s Haki and Conqueror’s Haki first? Hahahaha... Hadn’t he and Roger done the same thing back in the day? Every time they met, they would first clash with Advanced Conqueror’s Haki before starting their fight.
"Captain Shiki, huh... It’s a pity he couldn’t hold on. But it’s fine. I’ll fulfill his ambitions and wishes for him."
When talking about Shiki, a trace of regret appeared on Rorschach’s face. Even though they had only spent less than two and a half years together, he was still the teacher who had guided him. He couldn’t help feeling a little sentimental.
"Gurarararara... Interesting brat. Tell me, what did you come to find this old man for? If you’re here to fight, I’ll take you on anytime."
This made Marco and the others anxious. This was definitely not the time to be fighting Rorschach.
"Pops!"
Marco and the others tried to stop him, but Rorschach spoke first:
"No. Like I said earlier, I’m not here to fight this time."
"If you’re not here to fight, then why did you come looking for this old man?"
Whitebeard looked at him with a strange expression, as if asking: You’re not here to fight me, so don’t tell me you came here just to chat?
But Rorschach really had come to chat. More than anything, he wanted to meet this legendary figure from the manga in person.
Reading about him in the manga or hearing stories from the Golden Lion wasn’t the same. Only by standing in front of these people who stood at the very top of the sea could he truly feel their presence and aura.
"I’ve heard a lot about the great Senior Whitebeard, so I came to meet this legendary senior in person."
Rorschach took out a large bottle of sake from his space and tossed it to Whitebeard.
Whitebeard opened the cap and sniffed it.
"Fish-Man Island’s special brew? This is good stuff. I didn’t get to drink enough last time."
Whitebeard grinned and started gulping it down.
"Captain, you can’t drink anymore!"
A blonde nurse walked up beside him to persuade him.
During the earlier clash of Conqueror’s Haki between Rorschach and Whitebeard, both of them had very considerately avoided the nurses.
Whitebeard’s medical team consisted entirely of beautiful nurses. They all had one thing in common — they wore pink nurse uniforms and leopard-print stockings.
"Who said that?! This little bit of alcohol won’t ruin my body."
Whitebeard showed an impatient expression and grumbled, looking like he would get angry at anyone who tried to stop him from drinking.
"I’m so jealous... Being able to find so many beautiful ladies to be your ship doctors, and all of them wearing nurse uniforms with leopard print. Is that your strange fetish?"
"Don’t say such stupid things. With your strength, getting as many women as you want is easy. And you even have an annoying face."
Whitebeard glanced at him sideways with a disgusted expression.
"You’re just jealous of my handsome face, right? Makes sense. After all, you’re an old man in your seventies or eighties. Being jealous of my looks is only natural."
Whitebeard clicked his tongue quietly, then spoke willfully:
"You smug little brat. What kind of fetish this old man has is none of your business. I just like leopard print! Lately, more and more hospitals are making nurses wear pants. It’s really sad — it makes me want to cry. That’s why I make every nurse on this ship wear this uniform!"
Rorschach rubbed his chin. He actually had a point. Compared to nurses wearing pants, nurse uniforms with leopard-print stockings were a bit strange, but still much better looking than pants.
Thinking about Whitebeard’s old lover, Stussy, who also often wore a leopard-print coat, it wasn’t hard to see that Whitebeard had liked the leopard-print aesthetic since he was young.
"What a willful old man... Forcing your fetish onto the nurses on your ship. If it were me, I’d rather have the girls wear nothing at all."
"How about it? Beautiful ladies over there, any of you interested in switching ships?"
Rorschach flipped his hair in a showy manner and spoke gently.
This made Marco beside him push him away in disgust.
"You little brat have no right to talk about me. I’ve heard about you — your crew doesn’t even have a single proper crew member. It’s made up entirely of women. The only men on your ship are Shiki’s old subordinates and a few World Government brats. Can you even call yourself a pirate?!"
Whitebeard’s look of disgust grew even stronger.
The division commanders also stared at Rorschach with dead-fish eyes.
They really couldn’t understand how someone of Rorschach’s status had almost no proper subordinates. Since his debut, his entire crew had been female.
The thing they saw most often about Rorschach in the news was him stealing some country’s princess, or stealing some female Celestial Dragon.
Especially after they first saw the bounties of Rorschach’s crew, their jaws had dropped. Every single member was female — and all of them were beautiful women. It was truly enviable.
But envy was envy. No matter how beautiful the women were, they still weren’t as good as their own brothers.
"Heh heh... Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Rorschach. You’re also quite handsome — you’re my type."
"However, I’m currently part of Whitebeard’s medical team, so I can’t leave so casually~~"
The blonde, curvaceous nurse gave a gentle and kind smile as she replied.
The other beautiful nurses behind her also laughed softly, each of them showing clear interest in Rorschach.
The Whitebeard Pirates were full of rough men — not a single handsome one among them. The slightly better-looking ones were Izo (who was a geisha/kabukicho type) and Ace (who wasn’t even on the ship anymore).
It was hard for these beautiful nurses not to feel moved.
"What a shame."
Rorschach shook his head regretfully. He was only half-joking anyway. He didn’t actually mean it seriously — it was just his habit when he saw beautiful women.
"Heh heh... If you want to go, then go. It doesn’t matter to me."
At that moment, Whitebeard suddenly chuckled and spoke casually.
"What?! Pops, if the medical team leaves, what about your health?!"
Whitebeard’s casual remark shocked the division commanders.
These were some of the few women on their ship! Was he really going to hand them over to this smug bastard? They couldn’t accept that!!
