One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

Aurora grinned and moved closer to Ross.

"Teacher, you gave me special treatment, didn't you?"

Jhin looked down at his own hands, then at Aurora's hands, his expression conflicted.

Do I need to hold the teacher's hand to gain greater power?

"Don't talk nonsense. It's not that I'm handing over the Pisces principle to you, but rather that this knife has chosen you."

"It is different from other swords; it is a true demon sword."

Recalling the past, Aurora shook her head, her short, flowing hair swaying with her movement.

"Hmm, this knife is really strange. Every night after I fall asleep, I appear in a very strange world."

"Inside there were very tall buildings, and strange things made of sheet metal running around."

"I even saw iron birds flying in the sky!"

Aurora ran two steps to Ross and grabbed his little finger with her small hand.

"Then you appeared, teacher, and said you'd teach me to become stronger and stuff~"

"I've already learned some of the ways of the demons."

The girl raised her left hand towards the sky.

"Hado I - Rush!"

"This is……"

Jin's expression changed slightly; he had just seen a distorted wave erupt from Aurora's palm.

"Well, I can now forgo chanting!"

"Yes, Aurora is indeed a genius."

Ross never expected that there would be so many stories behind the girl after she received the Pisces story.

The one appearing in the mental world was actually himself?

He even became a teacher who taught the ways of the ghosts?

Ross didn't quite understand what had happened, but judging from Aurora's situation, it was probably the result of admiration and respect.

"Teacher, can I also learn this power?"

Jin hurriedly grabbed Ross's other hand.

“You are different from Aurora, Jhin. You have your own path to walk.”

"Once you know the true name of this knife, it will tell you everything."

Ross led the two little ones forward, his tense nerves gradually relaxing.

"Tonight might be the day of the final battle. If you die, your dreams and your family will all be in vain, so you two must be careful."

"It's okay to lose, just run. After all, failure is the mother of victory."

Chapter 152 begins! The Binding Spell, Chapter 77: Heavenly Void!

[Outside Ross Church]

A bonfire was burning brightly in the open space.

The night wind howled, slipping through the gaps between the trees and the church, leaving behind eerie, mournful sounds before disappearing again.

Da·Da·Da···

Ross remained focused on roasting the pheasant, occasionally brushing it with a thin layer of oil and sauce.

"Boss."

Hana Hanacha walked over and sat down next to the man, her pupils reflecting the flickering campfire.

"No need to thank me, we are brothers, I understand you, Hana Hanafuda."

"If it were me, I would be a hundred times crazier than you are now. Maybe I would already be on my way to seek revenge, find my enemy's hometown, and send them all to the underworld."

Ross sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions on the roast chicken, tore off half of it, and handed it to Hana, who was standing silently beside him.

"You need to be well-fed to have the strength to fight. It's okay to lose once or twice. As long as you live, anything is possible."

"Hatred, that kind of thing makes you stronger, so that even in the face of the most desperate situation, you can rely on hatred to survive."

Hana Hanazha ate the overly salty roasted chicken, her eyes still vacant.

Ross didn't care; those companions were brothers who had followed him all the way to where he was now.

Although they are not blood brothers, their relationship is definitely closer than that of blood brothers.

That kind of bond...

Just like the Heart of Law Pirates.

But life goes on, and that heart-wrenching pain, which can even strike at the soul, will eventually pass.

"Humans are such strange creatures; they know that life is over, yet they have no choice but to keep going."

"It's so salty! I guess I'm just not cut out for cooking~~"

Rumbling--

Lightning streaks flashed across the sky, making it impossible to tell whether it was night or rain clouds.

"Hana Hanafuda,"

Before the next line could be heard, Hana turned to look at Ross.

"I have a demonic sword here, but I lack a living being willing to accept it. After this matter is over, if you are willing, I can find a way to give you the power of a monster."

"Don't tell me the price; I have nothing left to lose."

Hana Hana's voice sounded like it had been sanded, dry and hoarse.

His previous generosity had vanished.

Ross knew that, at least until he avenged his great grudge, Hanahana would not return to its former state.

"I believe you, boss."

Finally, seemingly feeling that her words lacked weight, Hana Hanafuda added another sentence:

"Believe in you as you believe in them."

"Really? That's a great idea. Let's make a date then."

Looking at the fist being offered to him, Hana Hanafuda looked at Ross with a hint of confusion.

"Let's live together, no matter what happens in the future, we will never abandon each other and go to the underworld alone."

Hana stared at Ross for a long time before finally raising her fist and ramming him.

"You too, boss. If you die, I will definitely live to the end and avenge you."

"Don't say such unlucky things!"

Ross laughed and punched Hana Hanazawa, then stood up and threw away the unfinished roast chicken.

"The feast is about to begin, let's go."

Hana Hanafuda let out a long sigh, stood up, grabbed the roast chicken, and walked alone into the darkness behind.

He's going to find his prey, find him, and tear him apart!

"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"

As countless cherry blossom fragments swept upwards, slicing through the dark clouds in the sky, the foundations of several enormous islands appeared higher in the sky.

Boom!

The burst of Conqueror's Haki shot into the sky like a mist.

Shortly after Ross unleashed his power, the entire island seemed to receive a command to activate.

More and more breaths are beginning to awaken!

First came the clanging of metal and a series of angry roars from the west.

The battle cries grew even more intense as the sky islands descended!

Gradually, the merfolk formation responsible for the eastern battlefield began to sing war songs that Ross couldn't understand.

A giant, dancing dragon of thunder rises in the south, while a colossal white phantom looms in the north.

"Hehehehe~~~!"

Shiki's maniacal laughter echoed from the dark sky.

"Long time no see, Rose!!!"

A golden flying slash with a diameter of over 100 meters shot towards the church.

"Shiki, your opponent is me."

As the trees rustled, a figure clad in a black and white feather robe burst through the forest, heading straight for the flying slash.

"Get out here, you idiots! I am Rocks D. Giebeck!!"

"Hahaha~~ Shiki, Linlin, Kaido, your captain is back!"

The heavy cannon slash shattered the golden lion's wave of energy, sending it flying towards a dark corner of the sky higher above.

"Since you dare to cause trouble here, it means you're prepared to die here, right?"

Boom!

In the instant the lightning illuminated the sky and earth, Rocks, who used Instant Step to fly into the sky, finally collided with Shiki.

"Long time no see, Shiki. Didn't expect to see me again, did you?"

Shiki's eyes widened, a hint of panic flashing in them.

"This level of Conqueror's Haki?! You bastard, were you never really dead in the first place?!"

"Hey Lingling! Stop playing dead! How could I possibly take on Rocks by myself!"

“mam~mam~~~”

Lingling rode Zeus, the thundercloud, out of the darkness, her eyes fixed on Lox.

"I didn't expect Rocks to actually be alive. I thought it was some kind of Devil Fruit user impersonation show."

"Hey, this is really going to be a mess. Wouldn't it be better for the dead to just stay in the underworld...?"

Zeus's body instantly transformed into a black thundercloud, unleashing a bolt of lightning tens of meters in diameter.

Why return to the human world?

Rocks used the momentum to descend, his Conqueror's Hide-Clad Blade cleaving through the lightning.

"Rose!"

The shattered cherry blossom blades formed several giant dragons that descended from the sky, carrying Big Mom and Golden Lion towards the island that was about to crash down.

If these madmen are allowed to fight on Miracle Island, the island will be completely destroyed in no time.

It would be better to put the battlefield on the enemy's islands. Anyway, those islands will be reshaped by divine retribution later, so it won't hurt if some of them are destroyed.

"Don't fight on this island, Rocks. Proceed according to plan and take them to those five islands."

Ross extinguished the campfire with a single punch from a distance, then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

He cut his index finger, and blood quickly flowed down his arms, leaving behind red lines that stretched horizontally and vertically.

"The black and white net, the bridge of twenty-two..."

"Returning to the earth, lying in ambush amidst the azure sea of ​​clouds..."

"Binding Path No. 77: Heavenly Void Net".

……

In the East China Sea, the fish-men emerged from the massive tsunami caused by the fall of a small island, and Neptune stood on the waves, roaring angrily.

"Attack! We must annihilate the entire enemy on the high seas!"
