One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

Looking at Jin's tense profile, Aurora quickly realized what he was worried about.

"That...Jin,"

"Actually, you don't need to compare yourself to Barrett; you're different from him."

"Barrett joined the war at the age of five and blew up city gates with explosives at the age of six. It can be said that his childhood was spent in killing."

No matter how Aurora tried to persuade him, Jhin remained silent and only increased his running speed.

When the two rushed through the dense forest in the darkness and arrived at the southern bay, they happened to see a campfire standing on the beach not far away.

"found it!"

"Hey? Wait a minute, Jhin, they're not the real enemies!"

Auro reached out to grab it, but only managed to grab a handful of black feathers.

"Ugh! When will this idiot ever calm down?!"

As the flames that rose into the sky transformed into shooting stars and crashed down towards their target location, Aurora let out a long sigh.

"Teacher, can I borrow your domineering aura for a moment?"

He gathered the Haki emanating from the sword and concentrated the most basic Armament Haki at the soles of his feet.

Use the Instant Step to travel at lightning speed.

When Aurora arrived at the scene, Jhin was already wrestling with Perospero, who was wielding a cane.

"You're the uncle's students, right?"

Using the candy wave to push Jhin away, Perospero deliberately jumped back to escape the battlefield.

"We are not here to start a full-scale war."

Aurora glanced at Jin, who was sealed inside the candy, and sighed with a sense of helplessness.

“I know you are Perospero and he is Katakuri. I have heard your names from my teacher.”

The expressions on the faces of the two people whose names were called softened slightly.

Perospero laid down his candy weapon, letting the embers melt the candy.

"Wait, Jhin."

Stopping Jhin from launching another reckless charge, Aurora's gaze swept over Perospero and the chess pieces behind him.

"Yesterday, the teacher told us that if you show up here, we will test you. If your performance is not satisfactory, the teacher said he will personally come to your home to give you special training later."

Upon hearing this, Perospero froze, seemingly recalling some unpleasant memory, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead.

"Brother Perospero, I don't really want to be trained by the uncle. I'm all grown up now, and it would be too embarrassing to get spanked by the uncle again."

Katakuri spoke frankly, patting Brulee, who was tugging at his clothes.

"Go play in the back, Brulee. This is just a friendly spar, don't worry about us."

"Everyone back off! This is the uncle's territory, don't worry!"

After shooing away the restless chess pieces, Katakuri moved to the other side.

"So, who is my opponent?"

"Jin, you go deal with Katakuri."

Aurora noticed that the embers were effective against candy and gave the order before the boy could speak.

"But I..."

Jhin really wanted to say that he wanted to settle things with Candy Bastard, but seeing Aurora's sidelong glance, he shut his mouth and obediently walked to the side.

"I understand. Don't look at me like the teacher does."

"Honestly, why are they starting to look more and more like teachers..."

Charlotte Katakuri, Paramecia-type Mochi Mochi Fruit user.

After Katakuri introduced himself, his hands transformed into constantly wriggling mochi.

"Jin, a powerless being."

Katakuri narrowed his eyes as he watched Jin draw his sword.

"A powerless person? Then what's with the wings and flames on your back?"

"This one?"

Jhin turned to the side, showing off the wings behind him.

"I am a special race, an unlucky guy who was rescued from the World Government's laboratory by my teacher."

"As for abilities..."

"I think you probably can't break through my defenses."

As Jin walked, he suddenly looked to the side behind Katakuri, at the boy whose hair was like flames.

"Hey, you want to fight too, right? You can go with him."

"Don't underestimate me, you bastard."

Charlotte Irving crossed her arms, looking arrogant.

"Take care of Katakuri by himself. I'll consider making a move once you can beat him."

"Is that so..."

Jin remained expressionless. With another step, he transformed into a blurry ball of fire and rushed towards Katakuri.

Holding the Heavenly Punishment Dagger.

"Didn't I say I'm a user of the Mochi Mochi Fruit?"

Just as the blade was about to strike, Katakuri controlled his body to open a circular notch.

"Bird rice cake!"

His right arm transformed into a rice cake, shooting out several steaming white rice cake-like tendrils that bound Jin's limbs.

Katakuri twisted his left wrist, revealing a trident as tall as himself.

I will try my best to avoid your vital points.

As soon as he finished speaking, the trident-shaped earth dragon stabbed towards Jin's abdomen.

when--!

Hearing the sound like striking metal, Katakuri stabbed several times in disbelief.

Jin sighed: "You think I'm arrogant and conceited, but I was just telling the truth."

"You really can't break through my defenses. Stop talking nonsense and send your henchmen to attack."

"Otherwise, even if I stand here, you won't be able to harm me in the slightest."

Katakuri swung his right arm and slammed Jin into a rock not far away.

With a loud bang, when the smoke cleared, the unharmed Jin reappeared in everyone's sight.

"Didn't I tell you you can't break through my defenses? How many times do I have to repeat myself?"

The flames vanished abruptly, and Jin, his speed surging, appeared beside Katakuri, slashing his katana toward the enemy's neck.

Unlike his opponents, he showed no mercy.

If the other party dies here, it means he's nothing special, and there's not much point in continuing the voyage.

boom--!!

The offensive rhythm stopped, and Jhin's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.

"Conqueror's Haki!?"

"Although I don't really want to use this move, the uncle has taught me a lot about the entanglement of Conqueror's Haki."

Katakuri chased after the retreating boy, who was looking for another opportunity, and several black and red lightning bolts appeared on the Earth Dragon in his hand.

"In the years since I separated from Uncle, besides my daily training, the most significant achievement of my training is the Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, an ability that even my mother didn't know about."

"Now, repeat what you just said. Who can't break through your defenses?"

Chapter 157 Unpredictable Cause and Effect: The Pisces Theory

"They started fighting, now it's our turn."

Aurora grasped the Pisces Li and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Waves become my shield, thunder becomes my blade, the Pisces principle!"

The single sword transformed into two shark-fin shaped swords, with red ropes attached to the ends of the hilts, and five blank talisman cards swayed continuously.

"Revealing the cause—"

Aurora pointed her shark fin knife at Perospero with her left hand. A streak of black and white light moved from the tip of the knife back to the hilt, and then entered her master's left eye.

"When it was sealed off!"

"What...did you do?"

Perospero glanced down at his own unchanged self, puzzled as to what the other had done.

"I am not a Devil Fruit user."

Aurora introduced herself with a smile.

"I'm not as proficient as Jin in using the Yachiryu swordsmanship that my teacher taught me, but I do have my own strengths."

“Come on, Perospero, all the opportunities to attack are yours. I’m not good at initiating attacks.”

Perospero narrowed his eyes; he felt something was amiss.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

The candy weapon in his hand melted and shaped, transforming into a pink candy bow after a few breaths.

The bowstring was drawn back, and the crystal-clear candy arrows shot out at lightning speed.

Aurora raised her left sword to deflect the arrow, and a pale blue light surged from the hilt of the sword towards the blank talisman.

After Pisces releases its power, it can absorb energy attacks with its left sword, convert it into energy stored in the talisman, and then release the attack with its right sword.

This is the Pisces Theory explained by the teacher, but as Aurora studies the Daily Sword Zen, she discovers that the Pisces Theory's abilities seem to be somewhat different from what the teacher described.

Not only energy attacks, but also the impact force accompanying enemy attacks, such as flying slashes, can be absorbed by the left-hand sword.

To prove this point, she even sought special training from a teacher.

Seeing the enemy's relaxed defensive posture, Perospero simply used the Finishing Rain.

The candy bow suddenly increased its shooting frequency, unleashing a rain of arrows into the sky.

Having done all this, Perospero took advantage of the enemy's preoccupation with defending against the rain of arrows falling from the sky and swapped his candy longbow for his staff.

The cane tip opens, spraying out syrup.

"Take this, Candy Wave!"

Aurora jumped back a few steps, glanced at the rune that was only partially lit, and pointed her right sword, which had been hanging by her side, at the oncoming waves.

A blue laser, half a meter thick, shot out from the tip of the knife, utterly destroying the waves of candy!

Perospero's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly erected a candy wall in front of him for defense.

When the laser beam carrying lightning dissipated, he gasped as he looked at the candy wall, now mostly gone.

"I can absorb the enemy's attacks, adjust them, and turn them into my own attacks."

Aurora explained softly as she moved forward slowly, both swords shrouded in a faint gray aura.

"Pisces Rin, this is a gift from my teacher, a demon sword that belongs only to me."

"This is troublesome..."

Perospero had previously thought that the girl's adjustment of her battle lineup was a gesture of goodwill, but now it seems that the girl was probably worried that Katakuri's abilities would counter her, which is why she chose him as her opponent.

Recalling the rune that lit up when the opponent had just defended against the candy arrows, Perospero made a decision.
