One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

This turn of fate was truly unexpected.

"Stop making fun of me."

Seeing Borsalino's sullen expression, Ross asked curiously.

"It's because of my nickname, my nickname~~"

Nina smiled and patted Borsalino on the shoulder, who was sitting next to her.

"We encountered the Navy on our way here, and they all called out 'Borusalino!'"

[It's the legendary pirate, Flashy Gorilla!!!]

[Damn it, call for help quickly! This guy is a super vicious pirate!]

"Pfft~~ Hahaha!"

The ghost patted the girl's head and laughed heartily.

"A flashing gorilla? It really does look like one. No wonder you don't like this bounty."

Borsalino's lips twitched, and he covered his face with a long sigh.

"What's wrong with those navy men's eyes? Even if I look a little older than my age, I shouldn't be called a gorilla, right?"

"And they also said that unknown gorilla-men have appeared on the sea, and even more outrageously, they said I am a furry gorilla from the fur tribe..."

"It's really too much that it can't even reach the edge of humanity."

Rose turned away, barely suppressing a laugh.

He's the boss here; it wouldn't be appropriate to laugh at him to his face...

"Laugh if you want to, I'm used to it."

Borsalino stared intently at Ross with deadpan eyes.

"On the way here, I was laughed at by those fishmen the whole way. Some fishmen even choked on seawater because they were laughing so hard."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ross suppressed his smile with a few loud coughs.

“I don’t usually make fun of my friends, but Borsalino, I have to say…”

When Ross met Borsalino's eyes, he couldn't hold back any longer, and his laughter burst out.

Hahaha~~~ Your face really looks like a gorilla!

Borsalino's lips twitched.

After the laughter subsided, he began to inquire about work.

"Oh, right, right, there's also work. I almost forgot."

Ross patted his forehead and got up to walk towards the village.

"Come on, I'll take you to see it. I heard you mention the Sabaody Archipelago before, so I had someone help renovate Futaba Kindergarten."

“Mr. Victor, I’ve helped you expand your shop outside the kindergarten. If you don’t mind, I’d also like to entrust the meals for Futaba Kindergarten to you as well.”

"I will pay you according to the number of people. Any extra income will also be yours. As will send someone to inform you about the tax issues later."

"This……"

Victor looked at Borsalino with some difficulty, but the man shook his head to indicate that he did not need to refuse.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you."

Borsalino knew Rose's character well, and it was precisely because he knew Rose wouldn't mistreat his own people that he dared to trust Rose to operate.

After walking and stopping frequently, the group arrived at Futaba Kindergarten after passing through the forest in about ten minutes.

An independent estate standing between a village and a church.

Borsalino's eyes widened as he gazed at the enormous small estate before him.

"Satisfied? This place is your territory from now on."

Ross put a lot of effort into recreating the Futaba Kindergarten from his memory.

Not only were chicken coops and three classrooms built, but also an auditorium for overnight stays and various activities, offices and the adjacent villa for the principal were also provided.

"That's the dormitory I arranged for you, it's near the kindergarten. As for the ramen shop..."

Ross led the three of them past the park director's detached villa and to a three-story cottage.

"Ramen on the first floor, coffee on the second floor, and the third floor... well, you can decide for yourselves."

"Hey, Ross, isn't this a bit too much...?"

Borsalino looked at Ross in shock.

"Why does a place responsible for early childhood education need to be so big? Do you even have that many students?!"

Chapter 145 Futaba Kindergarten Principal Borsalino (*Picture)

For the dream.

If we're talking about the things that are least likely to be criticized, then it's music, animation, and cartoons.

Before his time travel, Ross watched a lot of Crayon Shin-chan.

But reality is completely different from anime, and some things can only exist in memory.

"It's to prepare for the future. Miracle Island is too small. It will definitely be expanded later. At that time, this place may need to be expanded a second time."

As Borsalino walked into the kindergarten, a strange sense of familiarity welled up inside him.

It's as if he was born to be here...

"Sigh~"

Borsalino stroked his chin, his face full of suspicion.

What's causing this strange feeling?

Seeing this, Ross couldn't help but smile, offering no explanation and letting the other person fill in the blanks themselves.

"You don't need to worry about survival here; those of you with permanent residency will receive many benefits."

Victor and his daughter, equally surprised by the size of the kindergarten, came to their senses.

“There are no nobles here, so you don’t need to worry about something like what happened in the Sabaody Archipelago.”

"The Celestial Dragons wouldn't be here either. Although you'll earn less Berries in the short term than over there, the safety is absolutely guaranteed."

The father and daughter exchanged a glance, and finally Viktor asked:

"Then what about the rent..."

"I will tell you about the rent in detail, as well as the taxes."

As walked slowly, leaning on his cane; his complexion was much rosier than it had been a few months ago.

"I apologize, Lord Ross, I may be a little late."

After exchanging a few polite words with As, Ross looked at Neptune, who was walking behind him using coral bubbles.

"It's been a long time, Neptune."

"Yes, Ross, it's been a while."

Neptune bent down and offered his fist, lightly touching Ross's fist with his own, a smile spreading across his face.

"It's a rare experience to be able to enjoy the sunshine so freely like today. My men are running around on the beach."

"This is their first time experiencing something like this, so please don't mind."

You'll get used to it.

Ross and Neptune both burst out laughing.

"That's right, that's right, you'll get used to it. I just heard about the use of this place."

An irrepressible longing flickered in Neptune's eyes.

"Ross, I mean, does this place accept all children?"

Ross knew what Neptune wanted to ask and nodded with a smile: "All of them, whether they are giants, long-armed people or fishmen."

"After all, the kid's thoughts involve the future of the world, and this place will become the starting point of a new world."

Neptune's eyes lit up; Ross's words were exactly what he had been thinking.

That's right!

Their generation has deep-seated prejudices, but the next generation's ideas are just beginning to sprout. With patient nurturing, they will surely cultivate more and more lives with the ideals of freedom and equality!

"Ross, you really are a devil who can see right through fish."

After a sigh, Neptune forced himself to stop thinking about the little fishman's enrollment.

This is a long and arduous task. The old king does not fully trust humans, and he cannot allow the next generation of the fish-men to be put in danger.

"I brought three thousand Neptune Army troops with me this time, but we didn't feel any change in the atmosphere as we traveled."

Asura tugged at Viktor and Nina, a smile playing on his old face:

"Please follow me, gentlemen. I will show you around your shop and explain the rules of this island."

After the ramen father and daughter left, Ross replied softly:

"It's still early, not yet time to declare war completely, but the enemy's troops are already showing signs of mobilization."

"The basic forces that we can confirm are departing simultaneously from the five countries. Neptune, I'll need your help to guard the ships coming from the east. We don't need to fight them head-on; just breach their warships."

"My people will personally guard the other directions. There's no need to worry about the strong ones; Lockes and I will take care of that."

Neptune nodded cautiously: "I understand. If we only need to breach the warship, the pressure on us will be much less."

"The fish-men also possess the ability to summon sea creatures. Although they only summon ordinary fish, which cannot compare to sea kings, their numbers are enough to hold off enemies from two directions!"

Ross was very clear about his objective this time.

The reason he did not take the initiative to confront the enemy was partly because it was too troublesome; settling scores with each country in the past would take too much time.

On the other hand, there is the process of tempering and refining.

If the first Liberation War a few years ago was to win over the hearts and minds of the people, then this war is to completely unite the people's hearts and minds.

"I'll have Morgans broadcast the battle live from the sanctuary. Neptune, remember to let your Sea Kings show their faces."

Showing his face?

At first, Neptune didn't realize the meaning of that sentence.

In his view, fish-men are safest when they stay on the seabed; showing their faces will only invite attacks from enemies.

"This will help the fish-men integrate into the human society of Miracle Island. Only when everyone sees you working hard for this place can you truly integrate into it."

"Don't say I don't take care of you; this is a treatment that even giants don't receive."

Neptune's eyes lit up when he realized what was happening.

"Then I'll thank you in advance for taking care of me, Ross. The merfolk owe you a great favor!"

Just then, As arrived, and Ross decided to have As send someone to show Neptune around the area, especially the church.

“I understand. I’ll ask Aurora to help. She was the guide when Princess Ida came last time.”

As Neptune left, Borsalino, who had been completely invisible, suddenly spoke.

“I will help, if it’s to protect this island.”

"No, Borsalino, you can't do it."

To Borsalino's surprise, Ross refused his offer to help.

"You will definitely become my trump card in the future. I have already revealed a lot of my trump cards in this great war. Your existence must not be known to the outside world."

"At some point in the future, your strength may become my strongest card to turn the tide."
