One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"me?"

Barrett placed his hand on the guard's shoulder, unleashing the full power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

"!!!"

The guard collapsed amidst black smoke, but none of the surrounding spectators paid any attention.

The loser angrily cursed the gladiator who lost the match.

The victors are arrogant and complacent, boasting about how sharp their vision was.

"The winner of this match is Super Soldier Number One! He has now achieved a total of 89 consecutive victories!!"

Just then, a robotic arm descended from the dark ceiling.

The end of the robotic arm is a platform equipped with numerous scrolling lights.

"My God!! With the ocean above, is there no one who can stop him!?"

"here."

Suddenly, a shout came from below the stage. The host froze for a few seconds and subconsciously looked up at the audience.

There was a special private room that could not be seen from the outside.

After waiting for several seconds without any response from the private room, the host assumed it was an impromptu performance and immediately screamed excitedly.

"It's here!!!"

"A challenger has appeared!"

"This... well, let's just call him the Terminator."

"The Terminator is about to challenge Super Soldier One. You only have 3 minutes to place your bets. Terminator pays 10 to 1, Super Soldier pays 1.5 to 1!"

The audience—

Do you need a weapon?

Barrett glanced at the staff member who approached him, shook his head, and caught the pill that the staff member threw to him.

"Eat it as you see fit. It's a special stimulant that can turn defeat into victory in crucial moments."

"This item is only available to newcomers on their first appearance; afterwards, you'll have to pay for it."

After explaining the precautions, the staff left.

Barrett dropped the pill in his hand and crushed it with his foot.

He jumped onto the stage and snatched the microphone from the host's hand.

"Moshi moshi~ Can you hear me clearly?"

……

In a private room on the second floor, Eleven sat on the sofa, panting heavily, with men and women lying unconscious on the floor beside him.

Blood dripped from the twisted left arm.

"Damn, these guys are really tough to deal with. If we hadn't brought enough weapons, we would have been done for this time."

[The audition is over. You must be wondering who I am.]

My name is Barrett, the master of this land. Oh, you may not have heard of this name before.

It's okay, I understand. After all, I'm different from my teacher Ross. Years ago, I was just an ordinary, unremarkable expendable youth soldier.

I haven't finished speaking, don't move.

Eleven's lips curled into a smile as he watched the Barrett fire lightning at the audience in the arena below.

“That’s it, Barrett. Just like before, shock the nobles.”

"That mad monster is back."

"You scum, just wait to die!!"

Chapter 136 A true warrior, even in the face of dire straits, must never give up hope of victory.

The host slumped in the corner of the ring, with obvious wet patches on his crotch.

He's insane! This guy is insane!!

But he only dared to curse in his heart.

After a round of shots, the stands were filled with an extremely strong smell of blood.

A quarter of an hour ago, the entire arena was filled with frenzied passion.

Now, however, there is complete silence.

The audience obediently returned to their seats, heads bowed and trembling, like quails waiting to be slaughtered.

"Very good, you can finally listen to me patiently."

Barrett looked around and, seeing that no one dared to stand up, retracted his elemental form.

"Who's in charge of this place? Get out here and see me."

"If I were to go find it myself, your fate might not be pleasant."

After he finished speaking, no one responded. Just as Barrett's patience was about to run out, a large section of the audience suddenly emptied out.

"S-Sir!"

"He is the person in charge, Lord Wesley's servant!"

"You bastard, you...!?"

The man with the mustache, who had stood up angrily, changed his expression slightly, his pupils reflecting the disheveled golden hair so close to his face.

When did this person appear in front of me?!

Barrett pressed down on the man's hand as he was about to draw his gun.

"Come with me, I have something to say to you from the bottom of my heart."

Barrett kicked his opponent's legs, breaking both of them. Before the scream could even escape his throat, Barrett reached out and grabbed the opponent's cheek as he walked back into the ring.

bang~

"My legs! My legs!"

"You damned commoner, I am Lord Wesley Knight's butler, you will regret this!"

"When Lord Wesley Knight arrives, it won't matter if you kneel down and beg for mercy. I will cut off your legs and make you live on your knees for the rest of your life!!!"

Barrett ignored the barking loser and turned to look at the only two men standing on the ring.

Why not run away?

The burly man wearing the demon mask tried to calm his increasingly rapid breathing.

He coughed up several mouthfuls of dark red blood before speaking, his voice hoarse.

"I haven't received my payment for today, 100,000 Berries."

"I'll leave immediately after I get the money."

"money?"

Barrett chuckled a few times, holding the pistol he had taken from the man with the mustache.

After unloading the bullets, the hand holding the gun becomes elemental.

Lei Metallurgy!

An electric current was injected into the pistol, melting away the excess plastic parts, and the remaining metal quickly turned into a short black stick.

After trying it out, Barrett nodded in satisfaction.

"Get out of here while I'm in a good mood. All the money here is for my teachers."

Super Soldier Number One stubbornly shook his head: "I must get paid."

"Tsk, you're really stubborn. I'll deal with you first before getting down to business."

Barrett twisted his neck.

"You can take drugs now, that Dreamland thing, it's your gladiator's secret weapon, right?"

“I never use that kind of thing.”

Super Soldier One takes a step forward with his right foot, shifts his center of gravity downward, and places his arms horizontally, parallel to the ground.

"A true warrior would never resort to such despicable means to win."

boom--!

The ground was stomped on by the enormous force, leaving several cracks.

Upon witnessing this, Barrett suddenly withdrew his Devil Fruit power and blocked with his short stick.

Seeing the boy in front of him block his feinting punch, Super Soldier One quickly bent down and reached for the enemy's clothing at the waist with his left hand.

His right hand gripped the short stick tightly, not giving the enemy a chance to break free.

At the same time, lean forward and insert your right leg into the ground between the enemy's legs.

With a loud shout, Super Soldier One strained his waist, trying to lift Barrett and slam it to the ground.

"Aren't you underestimating me?"

Hook your toes behind the enemy's knee and sweep the short stick horizontally.

Barrett looked at the enemy who would rather take a hit from him than let go, and his eyes showed surprise.

"Hellish Music!"

One strike, and victory is achieved!

Super Soldier One did not continue the pursuit, but instead retreated a few steps.

He was panting heavily as he watched his enemy being slammed into the ring.

"Give me my money, 100,000 Berries. That's money I earned with my life."

“This money is very important to me.”

"Armament Haki and Observation Haki. I didn't expect to encounter someone who has awakened Haki in this place."

Barrett got up, supporting himself on the edge of the pit, the upper half of his face covered by flowing blood.

"Conqueror's Haki, do you possess that ability?"

Super Soldier One silently assumed an offensive stance.

"You just said you never use that medicine?"

With a powerful thrust of his thighs, Super Soldier One launched another charge.

They're still using the same offensive tactics as before.

The right fist feints to lead the way, the left hand seeks an opportunity, and the right leg seizes the opening.

Barrett took a step back, then suddenly took half a step forward as the enemy launched a second pursuit.

“You can see it, I know it, but I can see it too.”

Sizzle, sizzle!

Conqueror's Haki suddenly gathered and converged on his right fist.

"Taste my fist!"

Giant cannon!

Super Soldier Number One was struck in the side of the face by this suddenly accelerated punch, his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.

Bang--!!!

His body bounced off the ground several times.

"How about that? That was a great punch, right? This way of generating power and using domineering energy was taught to me by my teacher."

Barrett glanced at his blood-soaked right fist.
