One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"I'm going to play right now!"

Watching the girl run off into the distance, Ross chuckled and shook his head.

If we can unlock Jushiro Ukitake's Pisces Rinne later, that Zanpakuto would be very suitable for Aurora right now.

“Bear, Ginny, it’s been a long time.”

From the shadows of the back door, the two slowly stepped into the sunlight.

Bear and Ginny smiled, about to say something.

When are you two planning to get married?

The bear froze at first, then steam rose from its head, and it hurriedly waved its hands.

"Getting married?! Uncle Ross, that's way too early! I'm only twelve!"

Compared to the bear, sixteen-year-old Ginny patted the bear's body quite freely.

"Oh my, when Bear Cub turns eighteen, I can finally enjoy him to my heart's content!"

"Ginny! Stop talking nonsense!"

Ross felt a sense of unease seeing the bear, which was over 3 meters tall, looking shy.

Shouldn't this be something girls are shy about?

"Uncle, we want to go back to the South China Sea to take a look. The church that Xiongzai's parents left behind is still there."

Ginny then explained why she was looking for Ross.

"Although we erected a cenotaph for Xiongzai's parents here, Xiongzai said he still wants to go back there and erect another one."

"The Kingdom of Solvi is, after all, the bear cub's hometown, and he hasn't been back to see it for a long time."

Ross nodded in agreement.

"Take care of yourselves. Once you've completed your life cards, you can set off."

"If you encounter an enemy you can't handle, run away. Contact me when you're safe, and I'll deal with them personally when I have time."

With Xiong around, I'm not worried about safety.

The ability to travel by flying is just too overpowered.

"Uncle, what should we do with this place...?"

Before Xiong could finish asking his worried question, Ginny waved her hand dismissively.

"Don't worry, little bear, your uncle's healing abilities are much better than yours."

"Moreover, there are only so many things you can capture; some minor illnesses are unnecessary to capture, and major illnesses can't be captured either."

Xiong scratched his head and smiled, "That's true. Well then, Uncle, we'll go pack our things first."

"Enjoy your journey. Remember to give me your Vivre Cards before you set off, and then go to As to collect your travel expenses."

Ross patiently instructed:

"Go early and come back early, don't linger outside for too long, the sea is not safe in this era."

"Yes, we understand."

After Bear and Ginny entered the church, Ross looked at the shadow of the giant rock not far away.

"Basta, didn't I tell you not to spy on me?"

"Hahaha~~"

A goofy-looking white ghost emerged from the shadows.

"Professional habits, professional habits~"

"Speaking of which, shouldn't you give me a break too?"

Are you dreaming, Bastard?

Ross picked up his coat: "Take me to my office. Where are you?"

The white ghost following behind the man yawned.

"I got up really early today to welcome you back, but I'm already home and lying down. Anyway, they won't look for me now that you're back."

"As is planning a huge banquet tonight to welcome you. He'll be bringing out some amazing wines, so I need to make sure I'm in good spirits beforehand."

"A banquet? Where is it?" Ross asked.

"It seems to be Xia Qi's bar. She had it moved to the port area a while ago because she said it would be more profitable there."

Rose paused in his forward stride, then resumed his pace a moment later.

His expression, however, held a hint of helplessness.

"What good can Xiaqi's wine be? You idiot, if you want to drink good wine, why don't you go to the village and buy some now?"

"Put it on my account, and I'll have Olvia pay for it later."

The ghost blinked, a triumphant smile spreading across its face:

"That's what I've been waiting for, boss! Pack up the best bottles of wine for me, Ross will pay!"

"Weren't you sleeping at home?!"

Faced with Basta, who could switch between the two lines with ease, Ross waved his hand dismissively.

"Go ahead and buy it. I borrowed money from many colleagues on the way back. It's enough to treat you to a drink."

"Thanks, boss. Send those cases of wine to my house and put it on Ross's tab."

Ross wasn't annoyed by Basta's drinking and taking drinks; on the contrary, he quite enjoyed this pure friendship.

"You've probably borrowed money and then disappeared again, haven't you?"

The ghost switched again, "By the way, how did you have the nerve to use the word 'borrow'?"

"Professor Ross, are you here?"

Dolag?

Just as Ross was about to call out, a gentle breeze arrived.

"Teacher, it's new intelligence about the recent war. I just got the news from the navy."

New intelligence?

Ross then remembered the many wars that had taken place around Miracle Island.

Dorrag walked out from the wind, his expression solemn.

"You should know what a naval surveillance ship is, right?"

Ross nodded in agreement.

"It's a warship used by the Navy and the World Government to monitor special individuals at sea, right?"

“I’ve been treated the same way before, but with the help of Minazuki, the ships that were monitoring us disappeared very quickly.”

Dragon produced a handwritten intelligence report.

“I just asked some former colleagues in the Navy, and they said that the surveillance ship responsible for monitoring Shiki the Golden Lion appeared in the latter half of the New World.”

"Because of Shiki's maneuverability, the Navy's surveillance ships often lose track of him, but this time he appeared near us."

"I have confirmed this through other channels, and it is absolutely reliable intelligence."

He paused abruptly, then glanced at Lox, who was walking towards him with his hands in his pockets not far away.

"In other words, this chaos is probably not unfounded, but rather part of a larger scheme."

"Shiki the Golden Lion and Bundy Ward the World Destroyer are the two people we have identified so far."

"And then there's the ritual master Buena Festa; given his personality, he would never engage in such a petty affair!"

Listening to Dragon's analysis, Ross lowered his head, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Indeed, given Buena Festa's personality, he wouldn't engage in petty squabbles, which suggests that the other party has something more important to them.

Perhaps it's his own miracle island, or perhaps it's the fame he gained after defeating himself.

"Dorag, go do a few things."

With Borsalino and Barrett currently unavailable, Ross has no choice but to delegate this task to the equally mobile Dragon.

"First, contact Morgans and ask him where the other remnants of the Rocks Pirates are, including Linlin and Kaido."

"Second, based on the intelligence, we will go to those kingdoms one by one to investigate. We don't need to appear in their sights, we just need to see what their royal families are doing and how their troops are distributed."

"third……"

After a moment's hesitation, Ross still didn't mention the third thing.

"Get these two things done. I will personally oversee Miracle Island until the situation stabilizes."

Chapter 120 The Four Directions in Momentum: Ross's Connections

"I see!"

Dorrag summoned a raging storm before disappearing.

"Looks like those guys know I'm back, hahaha~"

Rocks sat in his chair and laughed gleefully:

"If they team up, even I'll have a headache. What do you plan to do, Ross?"

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

Ross's eyes flickered as he considered the worst possible outcome.

Newgate certainly wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing, and neither would Roger.

But others can't say for sure.

Judging from the current situation, it's clear that Shiki and Bundy Wald are up to no good.

If we add the other remnants of the Rocks Pirates...

Ross stroked his chin, suddenly feeling like he was the big boss.

"Lox, it seems we've been underestimated."

Lox raised his right eyebrow: "You mean their target is us?"

"If they can't confirm your situation in person, those people probably won't even dare to close their eyes when they sleep."

Rose reclined on the chair, a playful smile on his face.

"Golden Lion, World Destroyer, John, Xiong, and Lingling, whose whereabouts are still unknown."

"Lox, in your current condition, can you take on several people by yourself?"

Rocks thought for a moment: "At most two, but Shiki can't be one of them. That bastard will use Skypiea to try and take us down with him if he can't win."

"I'm about the same. If we go all out, we should be able to hold off two of them. But whether we can win depends on the situation at the time."

Ross gazed at the blue sky and white clouds, his eyes vacant.

"Then I'll take over Shiki, you'll take over Bundy Wald, and if there are any others, we'll see who gets lucky."

Lox chuckled strangely: "Aren't you worried about failing?"

Ross shrugged and yawned.

"You'd better pray that we can drive them away. This late summer or autumn, the two of us will go out to sea to the Kingdom of Lulusia."

"You remember, right, Rocks? That place was where you and Alice made your promise."

The smile on Lockes' face froze, and his expression suddenly turned serious.

"Have you received any intelligence?"

"No, Morgans didn't find Alice and Teach, but Little Bear said he took the picture of them in the waters nearby."

Now it was Rose's turn to show a gloating smile.

"That's why I told you you'd better pray that our operation goes smoothly. Only when we win this war can we finally put our minds at ease and go find your wife and children."
