One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"Actually, I prefer to call it an animal-type enhancement potion."

"It can only enhance the power of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users. The so-called accelerated awakening is actually just taking too much in a short period of time, but it will also cause great side effects."

"Boss, I've tried that potion."

Hana Hanafuda suddenly interrupted the chat at this moment.

"Each dose can enhance strength by up to one-tenth, but one must rest for 1 to 3 months afterward. Those with less natural talent may need even longer. Moreover, one must intensify training during the rest period, otherwise the power brought by the drug will gradually dissipate."

Weeks explained helplessly, "That's why I call it an enhancement potion, not an acceleration potion."

"If used continuously in a short period of time, there is a high probability that it will awaken directly."

"You should also know that if a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user fails to awaken their powers, their body will be dominated by a demon, turning them into a merciless killing monster."

"But if you use them separately, the body's detoxification cycle is too long. The rest period is enough for the user to become stronger through exercise."

Ross didn't rush to answer; he closed his eyes halfway and began to think.

Weeks' potion may be the key to unlocking the Blackwing Archmage.

The formula for the Blackwing Demon is [Life with Hollow Power + Vampire Fruit].

According to Vegapunk, the Hollow power might be considered a Devil Fruit.

In other words, someone eats a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, and then fails to awaken it.

The human soul is suppressed by demons, making the body an alternative "void".

But how do we defeat the Hollow, allow humanity to regain control of the body, and reclaim the power it has awakened...?

beat?

A figure suddenly flashed through Ross's mind.

and many more!

Black to Domination!?

If it were Im's Dark Transformation Domination, perhaps all of this could be accomplished!

X eats the Vampire Fruit → takes a large dose of Weeks's potion → fails to awaken → is dominated by the Dark Transformation → becomes completely demonized.

Then, you defeat the controlled entity yourself, bringing it to the brink of death, thus breaking the black-to-dominant state.

In this way, X might be able to regain control of his body after the Devil Fruit awakening, thus fulfilling the conditions for creating the Blackwing Daima!

"That potion..."

Ross opened his eyes and looked at Weeks.

"Can you optimize and upgrade the formula, preferably to enhance its efficacy? Is that possible?"

Weeks hesitated. "It's possible, but what do you intend to do?"

"I need a bottle of the maximum dose of acceleration potion, preferably one that can put the target into an awakened state in one go."

Hana Hanafuda stopped Weeks, who wanted to ask more questions. He knew that if his boss said that, it must be related to the source of his power.

“The boss isn’t that prison warden; he doesn’t need inhuman fighting tools like the prison guard beast.”

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Barrett eat a Logia-type Devil Fruit; instead, he would have tried to find a powerful Zoan-type fruit."

Weeks was somewhat relieved; he didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

“I will try my best, but I need a qualified laboratory.”

"Go find As, he'll have everything arranged."

Once Weeks's presence had faded into the distance, Ross finally let out a long sigh of relief.

What about the ideal world?

Hana Hanazha sat on the bench next to Ross and sighed:

"It's a dreamlike place; it's hard to imagine that such a place could still exist in this day and age."

"Everyone is genuinely happy, but Boss Ross, you'd better be careful of the nobles from the surrounding kingdoms."

"The recent surge in war is probably not for good purposes."

"All the surrounding kingdoms are at war, but nothing has happened here."

"I have a premonition of an impending storm."

"That's why I came back this time."

Ross was not surprised by Hana Hanafuda's sensitivity; the burly man kept insisting he was a tough guy.

He is more perceptive than anyone else, especially when it comes to analyzing certain situations.

Although not always correct, they always manage to get to the point.

"You don't need to worry about things here for now. There are more important things I need you to do."

After a brief pause, Ross spoke again:

"The hunting of Devil Fruits and famous swords is related to the source of my power. I will collect as many Devil Fruits as possible."

"Pay special attention to these fruits."

"A Paramecia-type healing fruit, this fruit is most likely to appear in Dressrosa and Greenbit."

"If you go to Greenbit, remember not to make enemies with the little people there; those elves are very simple-minded."

Hana Hanafuda picked up her notebook and wrote down the names of two islands.

"The Paramecia-type Causality Fruit. I'm not entirely sure where this fruit is, but you can try to find the Western Peak and head to Sky Island from there, searching along the way."

"If you pass by the sky islands of Paradise, remember to visit the Sanctuary Apayado. The Lost Golden City is located there, and the gold there is enough to sustain your voyage from now on."

Hana Hanazha didn't ask why; she just kept writing and drawing in her notebook.

"at last……"

Ross himself couldn't really explain which Devil Fruit could unlock which Zanpakuto.

They could only search for Devil Fruits that roughly matched their memories.

"Don't force it; it's all about luck. The Paramecia-type Bubble Fruit and Door-Door Fruit, and the Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit."

"Boss, don't you have any Zoan-types?"

Ross glanced at Hana Hanafuda, a playful smile on his face: "You're planning to keep a few to win people over, aren't you?"

Hana Hanazha chuckled and said, "I can't hide it from you, boss. Weeks' potion is pretty good."

"If combined with daily training, it can create qualified combat power within six months."

"I want to give the ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits to my subordinates, but I will try my best to bring back the Ancient Zoan and Mythical Zoan types to Utopia."

"You decide what to do. If the Devil Fruit you get is useful to you, then use it directly without reporting to me."

Ross helped himself up from the chair, patted Hana Hanaza on the shoulder, and walked toward the back door.

"We don't need to be so polite between us. If you haven't eaten a Devil Fruit yet, Hana Hanafuda, I will definitely find a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit for you, not an ordinary Ancient Zoan."

“My brother deserves a nobler fruit.”

"But it's too late to say all this now, so I can only think of another way."

Hana's eyes lit up instantly, and she hurriedly followed behind Ross, rubbing her hands together and smiling obsequiously.

"Boss, look~~"

“Lox, I asked Lox before why his weapon is the same as yours, boss.”

He said, "Boss, you can bestow power upon your subordinates. If you really want to do something for me..."

"I'm currently lacking a more suitable weapon, what do you think?"

"You bastard..."

Ross shook his head and laughed, saying:

"You're only thinking about taking shortcuts. I understand. I'll consider you if you have a suitable knife."

Chapter 119 The Debtor's Disappearance Technique (10,000 words updated!)

"That's all, Aurora."

"Yes, teacher."

The girl in armor stood to one side with her head down, her expression anxious beneath the helmet, like a little devil who had made a mistake.

"It's okay. Everyone has their own strengths. Don't feel inferior because you are different."

Ross offered a soft word of comfort, and Aurora's ordeal ended in less than ten minutes.

It wasn't that the girl was too weak, but rather that the path she chose was both the same as his and different.

Although Aurora held a sword, she used it not to attack, but to defend.

For her, counter-attacks after a defensive play are more like a byproduct.

Ross clearly remembered that before he left Miracle Island, he had taught the other person how to wield a sword using the sword philosophy of Unohana Yachiru.

But Aurora didn't fully grasp it.

Instead, they learned how to defend better using the principles of the Yachiryu school.

Learn to defend against attacks from all angles.

Ross had already tested this point during the recent test.

Especially when attacking vital points, as long as his wooden sword is swung towards those points.

Even if Aurora didn't react at the moment, she would still return the longsword in her hand just as the wooden sword was about to strike.

Just like Observation Haki, which allows one to foresee the future.

Her body has developed a memory and instinctive reaction to impending attacks.

"You don't have to follow the path of a teacher to become a strong person."

Ross gestured for Aurora to come closer and offered to help her remove her helmet, revealing her small face with a few freckles.

Gently pinch the other person's nose.

"No, I can't breathe, teacher."

Rose released his hand, smiling.

"Don't look like the sky is falling. Your strength is defense, so keep going down this path."

Aurora put down her sword, her fingers twitching together, her expression still uneasy.

"But teacher, the kendo you taught me was clearly a different, stronger form of kendo, yet as your student, I arbitrarily changed it to something else..."

"This just proves that you are a genius like me, no, you might even be a genius swordsman who is more skilled than me."

Ross sat on the wooden stump, beckoned to the girl, and offered to help her remove her specially made armor.

"At least at your age, it's absolutely impossible for me to develop my own style of swordsmanship from any particular style."

Aurora turned her head and looked cautiously at Ross:

"really?"

“More real than pearls, Aurora, didn’t I tell you that what you need to do is not become me, but surpass me?”

Ross picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from Aurora's face, then took out his wallet from his coat pocket and pulled out a 10,000 peso.

"What's this?" Aurora asked, bewildered as she held the money.

"Didn't I say that everyone should have paid leave, and you are no exception?"

Ross put away his wallet and pushed the girl toward the nearest village.

"Practice hard when you're practicing, and play hard when you're playing. Only by balancing work and rest can you go further."

"Huh? But teacher, my armor!"

"Disobedience will result in expulsion from the sect."

Upon hearing Ross's words, Aurora quickly grasped the 10,000 peso.
