One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

His physical condition is still not strong enough. If a teacher used this move, his muscles would definitely not be damaged.

"cough……"

His eyeballs fell back into their sockets, Super Soldier One shook his head, and knelt on the ground, coughing up blood continuously.

"A true warrior..."

Watching the man in front of her struggle to get up, his legs trembled as he stood up straight.

Barrett's smile faded, and his expression gradually turned serious.

Regardless of what this guy did in the past, he's a real man now.

"I will never give up the fight just because my body has reached its limit."

As he assumed his attack stance for the third time, Super Soldier One's mask was mostly shattered, revealing a scruffy, middle-aged man's face.

"A true warrior never admits defeat!"

Sigh~~~

After taking a deep breath, Super Soldier One held his breath and charged again.

"This is your final blow."

Barrett assumed the exact same attacking stance as Super Soldier One and then charged forward in the same manner.

The two collided.

The fist grazed the opponent's arm and struck the opponent's head.

The audience, who were initially frightened, forgot their fear and stood up, screaming and shouting.

"Go, Super Soldier Number One!!!"

"Just like before, yes! That's it! Use your strength to smash the enemy's head!"

"Damn it, keep it up, Terminator! I'm your fan now!!"

"That's right, Terminator! Defeat Super Soldier One and end his winning streak!"

One punch, two punches, three punches...

No one defended themselves, nor did they retreat.

Fists rained down on the enemy.

This is the last chance!

Super Soldier Number One could no longer see what the person in front of him looked like, but his soul was stubbornly holding up his body as it was about to collapse.

He can't lose. What will happen to those children if he loses...?

He must win a hundred games in a row and then send them away from this hell.

"I will not lose, a true warrior!!"

Squeeze out the last bit of domineering power.

Super Soldier One, following Barrett's example of using Conqueror's Haki, concentrated the last bit of Armament Haki on the surface of his fist.

Even when faced with dire circumstances, we must never give up hope of victory!

"Hell Music - The Finishing Fist!!!"

The roar echoed throughout the entire arena.

The next moment, the fist felt the sensation of hitting something solid, and Super Soldier One's eyes widened.

It actually hit!?

The arena fell silent suddenly, and three seconds later, cheers erupted that nearly lifted the roof off.

"We won! Super Soldier One won again!!"

"As expected of the strongman I've chosen, Super Soldier Number One, you're absolutely awesome!"

Super Soldier One could no longer hear what the people were shouting. After two battles, he no longer had the strength to stand.

He fell backward and lay in the dust.

In his dazed state, he seemed to see a blond figure squatting in front of him.

"The teacher will definitely like you, this tough guy. How about joining Utopia?"

Super Soldier One opened and closed his mouth several times, but no sound came out.

Has she fainted?

Barrett, unconcerned about half his swollen face, waved towards the hidden private room above, signaling Eleven to bring a doctor over for help.

"Next up is you. You just said you were going to cut off my legs, right?"

Barrett rolled his tongue and spat out a few broken teeth.

Step on the back of the mustachioed butler who had fallen off the stage at some point and was quietly crawling towards the passage.

"That guy's fists are really hard. Looks like I'll have to drink some high-calcium milk later."

"Quiet!"

Within seconds, the once noisy arena returned to silence.

"I have no interest in investigating whether you are commoners or relatives with ties to the nobility."

Barrett, carrying the trembling butler who had wet his pants, jumped back onto the ring.

"Listen up, if you want to survive, join the army. If you can survive the great battle months from now..."

"You will receive a ticket to live in the Miracle Island Utopia. You heard me right."

Leaving the butler behind, Barrett looked around and smiled, his left cheek, which was still relatively unharmed.

"It's that utopian paradise you read about in the newspapers!!"

"Let me introduce myself again. I am Barrett, Professor Ross's student, and I hold the ticket to Utopia in my hand."

"If you want permanent residency, join my army and become my soldier!"

"This is your closest chance to heaven!!"

Chapter 137 If I'm destined not to live, then I'll die before them.

[Arena, Medical Room]

Drip...drip...drip...

Her eyelids twitched, then returned to calm.

Three minutes later, Super Soldier One slowly opened his eyes, his lifeless gaze staring blankly at the yellowish ceiling.

"you're awake."

"Where am I...?"

"Medical room, you're alive. Barrett didn't kill you."

At this point, Shiyi's condition was not much better; his broken left arm was wrapped in a plaster cast.

"Really? I survived again..."

After saying that, Super Soldier One shifted his gaze.

"I lost, right?"

Shiyi nodded first, then gestured towards the bedside table with his lip.

“You lost, but Barrett has still decided to give you the Pelé that is rightfully yours.”

It took Super Soldier One several minutes to process the news.

"why?"

"Because you're a true warrior."

Eleven looked at the man lying on the hospital bed with considerable envy.

Unlike him, Super Soldier One received his ticket because he was approved by Barrett.

Even he had to admire this man's courage and persistence.

A true warrior.

What did you do before?

"..."

The question about the eleventh did not receive an immediate answer.

Whether it was due to his injury or the rapid shift between extreme joy and sorrow, Super Soldier One felt that his thinking speed had slowed down considerably.

"Soldier……"

"Soldiers?" Eleven asked again.

"Soldier."

Super Soldier Number One sighed and, ignoring Eleven's attempts to stop him, forced himself to sit up.

Feeling the pain and tearing sensation caused by muscle damage.

“It’s okay, only in this way can I feel like I’m living as a human being.”

“I’m not lying to you. I used to be a soldier, but the master I protected was a world noble.”

World nobility?

Eleven was stunned at first, then stood up in shock after realizing what had happened.

"You used to be a Celestial Dragon's soldier!?"

Super Soldier Number One nodded blankly.

"That's right, I used to be a soldier responsible for guarding the Tianlong Gate."

“Something happened at that time… that I just couldn’t stand, so I killed some people I shouldn’t have killed and escaped from that place.”

"You killed a Celestial Dragon?" Eleven took two steps back and asked cautiously.

Super Soldier Number One nodded silently.

The relaxed atmosphere of casual conversation in the room vanished completely.

"Then why do you need money? 100,000 Berries isn't much. If you were really a Celestial Dragon's soldier before, you shouldn't care about these Berries."

Super Soldier Number One looked up at Eleven, who had already retreated to the doorway.

“I found many orphans behind this mountain.”

"This money is for everyone's future food expenses. I can't die in a place like this."

“If I die, Wesley Knight won’t let that place go.”

squeak--

The door opened at that moment, and Barrett, covered in blood, entered the room.

He casually walked behind the curtain and turned on the tap to clean the bloodstains off his body.

"Barrett, where's that mustachioed butler?"

"He died. After I had a heart-to-heart talk with him, he cried and died."

Eleven looked bewildered; he didn't quite understand what kind of death this was...

Perhaps to explain, Barrett added:

"It's like being in so much pain that you cry and have a runny nose, and then you die."

eleven:……

A truly heartfelt confession?

"So that's why you're here, and the World Government is after you because they're hunting you down, right?"

Super Soldier One fell silent once again.
