One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"Have you packed everything?"

Ross put away the newspaper and smiled as he watched the group of people walking towards him.

Perhaps it was his act of saving Ohara a few days earlier that made Bear, Ginny, and Ivankov change their minds.

I decided to continue traveling with him.

Incidentally, I will also participate in the construction of the absolutely neutral island that Ross described.

According to Ginny—

"I'm good at eavesdropping and intelligence gathering, so with me around, you'll have a lot less trouble!"

Xiong said, "If there are many patients, my abilities can help in some small ways."

Ivankov, on the contrary, was the most direct.

"Anyway, I have nowhere else to go, so I'll just go with you, uncle, and see what's going on. It'll be a way to repay your kindness in taking care of us along the way!"

"Rose~~ Sorry, sorry, I'm late!"

Olvia stopped in front of Ross carrying a backpack bigger than herself, bending over and panting heavily.

"It took a lot of time to organize the books for translating ancient texts!"

"Just give me the bag."

Ross took Olvia's large backpack and waved goodbye to the group of archaeologists led by Clover not far away.

"We're off, Dr. Clover, remember what I told you!"

"That matter must not be brought into the open; at least until I give you the signal, we must remain vigilant!"

"We understand~~ Have a safe journey, hero!"

"Olvia, you must listen to Mr. Ross and not act impulsively!"

"Have a safe trip, Mr. Ross!"

After jumping onto the ray and sitting cross-legged, Ross patted the ray's body.

"Let's go, Minashizuki! Charge into the Calm Belt, let's go back to the New World!"

……

January 1485 (Haiyuan Calendar) --

The one-eyed manta ray burst out of the calm zone and landed safely on the waves, drifting along with them.

"Phew, that was really dangerous!!"

Ginny patted her chest, a trace of fear still lingering on her face.

It took them two months to cross the Calm Belt.

This was already the fastest speed the Flesh Droplet could go. If it weren't for those colossal sea kings cheering them on from behind, Ginny estimated they would have had to sail slowly for another month.

Are all sea kings in the Calm Belt that big?

Ross put down his hands from rubbing his cheeks and sighed wearily.

"Pretty much, but it's the fastest way back to the New World."

"If Roger and his crew follow their sailing plan, I estimate they might not even reach Sabaody Archipelago by this time next year."

With the help of Retsu Unohana's Kido memories, this two-month journey can only be described as thrilling yet safe.

In addition, with his keen sense of killing intent, Ross was always able to avoid some super-giant sea kings that he simply couldn't fight.

For example, the giant seal that chased them for three days and three nights.

Ross couldn't even see where the guy's tail was.

Even if the heavy cannon strike succeeds in creating a battle, to that enormous creature, it's no different from a human being bitten by a mosquito.

"We've finally found you!"

Ross looked up at the sky and saw several small hot air balloons being slowly descended, pulled by seagulls.

"Kaido sold information about you for a huge price!"

Kaido?

The hot air balloon stopped not far from the manta ray, and as the window opened, a seagull poked its upper body out.

"Yo, nice to meet you, Ross."

"I am Morgans, a senior reporter for the World Economic News."

"You're planning to attack Beehive Island, right? How about we cooperate?"

"I currently need a super exciting news campaign for the position of vice president of the news agency. In return, perhaps we can become friends?"

"I, Morgans, am known for my hospitality, and helping friends is one of my hobbies."

"For example, intelligence~"

Morgans used the wing that replaced his right hand to flap a few times.

"How about that? These are fantastic terms. I can provide any intelligence you need!"

"Even if I don't know, I can find out in the shortest amount of time."

"Of course, the first time is free."

Listening to the birdman in front of him introduce himself, Ross suddenly asked:

"So, how many Berries did Kaido sell my information for?"

Morgan subconsciously extended his index finger.

"Ten million Berries, that guy said it's absolutely worth it."

Ross shook his head helplessly: "That idiot Kaido..."

"Morgans, how many people have you sold this information to?"

Morgans was momentarily speechless, probably not expecting Ross to be so quick-witted.

After realizing what had happened, he revealed a hearty smile without the slightest embarrassment.

"Well, not many, including Wang Zhi, it's probably only..."

"Seven or eight people, just enough to break even, hahaha~~~"

Chapter 16 Pirate Island Admiral Wang Zhi (A contract is about to be signed, please invest and follow!)

Beehive Island

The clouds hung low, and in the depths of winter, February, heavy snow fell from the sky, piling up around Beehive Island.

"Boss Wang Zhi!"

"Admiral, this is terrible!!"

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed inside the villa in the very center of the island.

boom--!

The door was pushed open forcefully, and a gloomy atmosphere wafted into the half-drawn curtains of the room.

"Ross, who was once a great pirate of the Rocks Pirates just like you, has returned to the New World!"

“Our people also saw Kaido, disguised as a dragon, lingering around Beehive Island. He must be…”

"Calm down."

Wang Zhi, who was standing by the window, turned around and licked his lips with his long, snake-like tongue.

"I am Wang Zhi, the Admiral of Beehive Island! This place is now my territory. Inform everyone, if that brat Ross dares to set foot on this island..."

"Your time to get rich has come!"

"Kill him, and if you come to me with his head, I'll split the treasure left by Rocks with that guy!"

The breathing in the room was inexplicably rapid.

"You heard me right,"

After pouring himself a glass of red wine and sitting down on the sofa, a ruthless glint flashed in Wang Zhi's eyes.

"Anyone who has Ross's head can come to me and exchange it for half of the treasure left behind by the legendary pirate Rocks!!"

"Yes, Boss Wang Zhi!!!" / "I will definitely take that guy's head, Admiral!!"

The gate, which had just been closed, opened again, and soon exclamations and shouts echoed across the pirate island.

Most of the pirates' boasting was actually an expression of their anticipation for Ross's arrival.

Some even suggested going out to sea to hunt.

That's the treasure left behind by the legendary pirate Rocks!

No pirate doubted the authenticity of the treasure, just as they had unwavering faith in Rocks's power.

"Hehehe~~ Ross, you dishonest guy really did jump out."

Kacha--

"I am Shiki!"

The Den Den Mushi took out a cigar from its shell, held it at an angle, and tried to raise its head to look down on people.

"Who?!"

“It’s me, Shiki.”

The Den Den Mushi stroked its chin.

"It's you, Wang Zhi. I haven't heard your voice in so long. I thought you'd died somewhere."

"Trying to join forces? Sorry, I don't even look at you, hehe ...

Wang Zhi wasn't angry. He waited until Shi Ji's voice faded before calmly replying:

"Regarding Rose, you had a conflict with him recently, and I want to know his true strength."

Ross?

As if it had heard something extremely disgusting, the Den Den Mushi's face instantly darkened.

"Don't mention that scoundrel to me!"

“That indestructible bastard, Wang Zhi, for the sake of our past drinking together, I can tell you some information.”

"First, you are no match for that guy. If a real fight breaks out, you will definitely be killed by him."

"Secondly, even if you awaken that Devil Fruit during this time, even if you can temporarily suppress that guy, but..."

The Den Den Mushi raised its tentacles, gripped its cigar, and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

"In the end, that guy will definitely be the winner. I suspect he might be some kind of special race, or he might have eaten a Devil Fruit."

"That kind of incredible healing ability is something that humans simply cannot possess."

"Just one last thing~ hehe."

"Wang Zhi, you'll find out when you fight him in person. That will be a huge surprise!"

"If I hadn't been certain that Lox was dead, I would have thought that guy had inexplicably been reborn."

"Hahaha~~ This sea is about to become completely lively!"

"Choose, Wang Zhi, either run away, or hand over the position of Admiral of Beehive Island to that guy!"

Crack!

The Den Den Mushi abruptly hung up, and Wang Zhi held the receiver in a daze for a few seconds before putting it down.

The Den Den Mushi rang again.
