One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

If his name brings peace and sweet dreams, it doesn't matter if it's used by others.

"This knife."

Ross took out the Pisces Scroll from his waist, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to give it to Aurora.

He didn't know why he was doing it, but there was always a strange impulse in his mind.

He handed the mysteriously powerful Zanpakuto to Aurora in front of him.

"The gift your teacher promised you: a magical sword that can maximize your defensive capabilities."

Aurora hurriedly caught the katana, which was only slightly shorter than her own, her eyes sparkling.

"Teacher, is this really for me?"

"But Hana-sama, doesn't he want it too?"

Ross stepped forward and patted Aurora's head.

At some point, the little girl's hair color began to resemble his, as did her eyes.

Several dark brown spots of light appeared in his originally golden eyes.

Unlike Barrett, that kid was mimicking his own tone and movements.

Aurora...

Ross's gaze toward the statue grew increasingly profound.

She seems to be imitating her compassionate and kind side.

These two little devils are like his two sides, good and evil.

Aurora was determined to protect him and was unwilling to kill easily.

Barrett is completely absorbed in battle, believing that only by becoming the strongest can he protect everything he wants.

"This knife has chosen you, Aurora."

The moment Ross handed Pisces to Aurora, he felt a sense of relief.

It's as if we've accomplished something extremely important.

"Go to sleep early. This knife won't disappear. It carries my will. You'll know its name once you get to know it."

"If the kid stays up late, he'll definitely not grow tall, and he might even go bald."

Baldness!?

Aurora gasped and clutched the top of her head with both hands.

"I...I'm going to sleep now!!"

"Teacher, could you please close the church door? I'll go to sleep right after I wash my face!"

Hearing the little guy's panicked voice, Ross's lips curled up slightly.

"Yes, yes, go and rest quickly, little Aurora, you still have to go for your morning run tomorrow."

Bang~~

Shortly afterward, the gate closed.

Aurora stood in front of the mirror brushing her teeth, with her brand-new knife beside her.

"teacher?"

Looking at the "teacher" appearing behind her in the mirror, Aurora turned her head in surprise.

In the blink of an eye, the "teacher" disappeared again.

"I think I heard its name."

She took a sip of water, gulped it down a few times, then spat it out. She grabbed a towel and wiped her face haphazardly before running into the room with her new knife and pulling the covers over herself.

Goodnight, Pisces.

……

The next morning—

Aurora opened her eyes, her gaze slightly tired.

She didn't sleep well last night, as she kept feeling like her teacher was calling her name.

He was still teaching her how to use Kido, what the incantation was, and how to convert Armament Haki into the energy needed for Kido.

"Ha~~~"

Aurora yawned, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and got up, hearing a familiar nagging voice in her ear.

"Armament Haki? How could I possibly awaken something like that? I'm only fifteen years old."

"Teacher, don't rush me, I'll do my best!"

bang bang bang-

"Aurora, wake up! Why are you up so late today!"

"Keep your voice down, Shanks. Aurora must be up already; she's probably praying."

Shortly afterward, the church door was pushed open a crack.

Aurora walked out of the church listlessly.

Good morning, everyone.

"That's really strange."

Shanks circled around Aurora, his finger pointing towards the knife the girl was carrying on her back.

But just as it was about to touch it, it was struck by a wisp of electric arc.

"what!"

Bucky rushed over: "What's wrong, Shanks?"

"I got electrocuted."

Shanks points to the Pisces constellation, looking curious:

"Sister Aurora, when did you get this knife?"

Knife?

Aurora turned her head.

"Huh? That's strange, when did I put it on my back?"

"Okay, shut up."

Not far away, Jin greeted everyone with a stern face.

"Now is not the time for you to chat. Hurry up and warm up. Today's 10km run hasn't even started yet."

"After our run, we still have to go to the kindergarten for Mr. Brooke's sword training!"

"Yes, Brother Jin~~"

Ten minutes later, the kids, having finished warming up, started their daily morning run with giggles.

Jin deliberately slowed his pace, glancing at Aurora from time to time.

"Are you alright? Did you stay up late last night?"

Aurora shook her head: "I had a dream all night long. In the dream, my teacher kept urging me to cultivate. It was a very tiring night."

dream?

Upon hearing this, Jin didn't ask any further questions, assuming that the other party was under too much pressure.

He had nightmares every day when he was imprisoned by the World Government, and this continued for the first two weeks after he was rescued.

It has only recently begun to ease.

"Speed ​​up! At this rate, we'll miss breakfast and swordsmanship class!"

……

Time flies.

As the sun sets in the east and moves to the west, the moon takes its place in the sky.

The day's training finally came to an end.

Aurora was exhausted when she returned to the church.

He lay on the chapel bench for a while, and only got up after relieving his fatigue.

Place the candlesticks properly.

I found a prayer cushion, placed it in front of the statue, knelt down, put my hands together, and began my daily bedtime prayer.

Gradually, in the dead of night, the statue's eyes gained a deeper, more divine quality.

The candle flame, which had been swaying in the wind, suddenly became firm, with the tip of the flame pointing diagonally towards the sky.

If you look closely, you will notice that the tip is pointing to the eye of the statue.

At the same time, the Pisces Li placed beside him also began to shimmer faintly.

But no one saw this scene.

Including Aurora with her eyes closed.

Half an hour later, Aurora opened her eyes again.

He clapped his hands three times gently, then put them together above his head, with the base of his palms against his forehead.

"Teacher, please bless Aurora so that her training goes smoothly!"

……

Meanwhile, at his villa, Ross, who was taking a shower in the bathroom, seemed to sense something.

Awaken the workshop and retrieve the mark.

[Bleach Mark: Jushiro Ukitake]

[Current resonance level: 2%]

Has the level of resonance increased?

After rinsing off the foam, Ross quickly dried off the water and changed into a bathrobe.

After a moment's thought, he guessed what had happened.

Pisces, this knife gives him the same feeling as Rocks—evil.

It is different from wild sun-dried and meat-drizzle-dried.

Although Zanpakuto may carry other feelings to varying degrees depending on their original owner's circumstances, none are as obvious as those of Pisces Rin.

Furthermore, as the resonance level increases, the Zanpakuto's abilities will evolve according to the user's will, developing abilities that did not originally exist.

For example, the enjoyment of fighting demons in the wild sun.

Ross clearly remembered that Kenpachi Zaraki did not possess such power.

The reason why Yeshai has developed this ability seems to be because he once envied the destructive power of those small giants who are over 7 meters tall.

No, it's less about envy and more about it becoming an obsession.

And Pisces...

Ross stood in front of the bathroom mirror, picked up a razor, and shaved off the stubble that had grown back.

Jushiro Ukitake, King Rei's right arm.

Could it be because of the divine divination?

However, since there is no Spirit King in this world, it is unlikely that a sacrifice would occur, resulting in someone becoming the incarnation of the One-Eyed God.

"Ross, isn't this outfit made with too little fabric...?"

Suddenly, Olvia's voice came from outside the bathroom.

Ross subconsciously turned his head, and his previous speculation about Pisces vanished instantly.
