One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"Why did you stop chasing?"

"You bastard..."

Kaido glared at Ross, his resentful gaze filled with a desire to devour the man before him whole.

"If you've got the guts, face me head-on! Keep running and running..."

"Then why didn't you come and challenge me to a duel after I dealt with the World Destroyer?" Ross interrupted and asked.

Upon being retorted, Kaido, who was not good with words to begin with, trembled and his anger intensified.

They intend to launch an attack.

But whenever he approached with his spiked club still poised to strike, Ross would take a step back.

After going back and forth for a long time, Kaido felt extremely frustrated.

He had never fought such a frustrating battle before!

"I'll make sure you don't get away with this next time we meet, Ross!"

Finally, Kaido, who was almost bursting with pent-up anger, uttered a harsh threat and transformed into a giant dragon, flying awkwardly into the sky.

Watching the dragon sail away, Ross sheathed his sword.

With his current level, keeping Kaido here shouldn't be a problem. Not to mention that the second stage of Flesh Droplet Feast hasn't been activated yet, even Mad Demon is still on the verge of triggering.

Once these two abilities are triggered, Kaido will be severely injured, if not killed.

After throwing down his katana and transforming into a ray, Ross willingly crawled into the ray's mouth and closed his eyes to rest.

"Fly back to Miracle Island, and take the meat droplet."

Half an hour after the one-eyed ray disappeared, the grass suddenly trembled.

A skinny, short man wearing a broken-horn iron helmet walked up to the unrecognizable body of Bundy Wald.

“Wald…”

Bingjack's eyes showed sadness.

"Didn't I tell you not to get involved in this mess?"

"Why didn't you listen to your older brother, you idiot."

With great effort, they moved the body onto a makeshift cart, and then Bingjack pushed the cart toward the sea.

“We’re home, Wald. Big brother will definitely take you home.”

A white ghost emerged from the bushes.

"Should we kill him, Ross?"

The Den Den Mushi didn't answer; instead, a chewing sound came through.

"If you don't speak, I won't make a move. That short guy is sickly; maybe we should show some humanity once in a while?"

The white phantom burst and vanished like a bubble.

"But that guy must have noticed me. Is the reason he turned his back to me because he wanted me to kill him?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Ross, you really are cruel. With that guy's physical condition, there is absolutely no way he could leave the New World alive, no, it should be said that he could not leave the sea area where Miracle Island is located."

The Den Den Mushi is still chewing.

"The war is about to end. Just as you said, they were all a bunch of treacherous people."

"The alliance of pirates is as fragile as a piece of paper that has been soaked. I've really learned something new this time."

"I'm going to have the maids give me a good massage tonight, haha~~~"

Chapter 166 Shiki's Parting Gift

Miracle Island, the Ideal World, Ross Church

Dorrag sat alone outside the church, bandaging his wounds, the ground nearby littered with blood-stained, cone-shaped iron spikes.

"It seems you've also been through a major battle here."

Hana Hana walked slowly, her bandages stained red by the torn wound.

"It's not just one, it's many. Quite a few pirates from the Flying Pirates have come here. Help me tie a knot."

Dorag handed the two ends of the wrapped bandage to Hana Hanafuda, who had walked up behind him, and let out a long sigh.

“There are still many bodies in the church waiting to be dealt with. In order not to alert the perpetrators, I would hide the bodies in the storage room and chapel every time I killed them.”

"Who were you fighting in the forest the last time? I went to the scene of the battle there, and most of the trees had been cut down."

"John, a former member of the Rocks Pirates, that guy is very strong."

When talking about the purple-haired man who had left not long ago, Dorrag's expression turned solemn.

"If news of the impending end of the war hadn't spread throughout the island, that guy probably wouldn't have left."

"Did they escape...?"

After tying the knot, Hana Hanaza sat down again not far from Doraga.

"So the result of this battle is the corpse of the World Destroyer. The entire Wald Pirates are dead, but John, Kaido, Shiki, and Big Mom have all escaped."

"Things are indeed going as Boss Ross predicted."

"No, there's one more thing."

Dorrag suddenly looked up at the sky.

"In the teacher's plan, Shiki would definitely not be willing to accept defeat, and he would most likely leave some more gifts before leaving."

Hanahata lay back, her head resting in the grass.

"If that were to happen, there would be nothing I could do; I couldn't stop the sky island from falling."

"The boss and Rocks teaming up might be able to stop... damn it..."

The shape of the island's underground is reflected in Hana Hanafuda's pupils as it gazes at the sky.

"It really happened, Dragon! Your mouth really does come true!"

……

One hour ago—

[The hidden sky island directly above Miracle Island]

Shiki dragged his purplish-blue body back to the secret base.

"Brother Yingdi, Brother Yingdi!!"

The clattering sound of footsteps grew louder as it approached.

"Hey, Shiki, what's wrong... you've been poisoned!?"

"Hehehehe, just a little poison. That lizard really gave me a nice parting gift!"

Shiki voluntarily lay down on the operating table.

"Hurry up and treat me! Once this shock passes, I'm going to return the favor!"

17-year-old Indigo hurriedly searched for the tools needed for the surgery.

Blood tests, searching for antidotes...

After a flurry of activity, once the serum injection was complete, Shi Jifa's pale complexion gradually returned to normal.

"Boss, you'd better lie still. This serum can't completely remove the lizard toxins from your body."

Indigo, who was analyzing the deadly poison in his blood while standing in front of the computer, called out to Shiki.

"I need more time to study a more perfect serum. If I make any moves now, and the toxins spread a second time, it will not be so easy to completely eliminate them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Indy pressed a button on the keyboard.

Just as Shiki tried to get up, he was instantly pressed back onto the bed by a mechanical arm, his limbs and torso forcibly fixed to the bed by protruding metal.

"Let me go! Indy, you bastard, let go right now, I'm the captain!!!"

"Alright, alright, I promise you, I absolutely won't get out of bed, but you have to untie me, I still have important things to do!"

After hesitating for a long time, perhaps considering the other party's status, Brother Indy had no choice but to obediently comply.

Shiki stood up, flipped his right hand, and put on a mocking smile.

The entire laboratory began to shake for no apparent reason.

"An earthquake?! No! Boss Shiki, is that you activating your ability?!"

Indigo, realizing what was happening, looked at Shiki.

"Hehehehe, that lucky lizard poisoned me before it left, how could I not give it something in return?"

Slowly change the right hand from an upward palm position to a downward position.

"Anyway, the only important thing on this island is this laboratory. I just need to take this piece of land that will support the houses, and give everything else to them."

"Wait a minute, Boss Shiki!!"

Indigo grabbed Shiki, his face pale.

"Supplies! Supplies, food, and our treasure are all in a warehouse far from here!"

"A few days ago, I was worried that the experiment explosion would contaminate the food and Bailey, so I had them all moved to the new warehouse!"

Shiki froze, snot running down his nose: "What did you just say..."

Indigo ran around the lab clutching his head, screaming in panic.

"It's all over, it's all over!!"

"That's a billion Berries we've saved up all along! A billion Berries! And an autographed photo of my favorite singer!!"

"Hey, how are you going to take responsibility, you idiot captain?!"

Shiki looked dazed; his billion Berries…

"and many more!!"

"Hey, Indigo, my prized cigars, those cigars that are worth ten million berries each, they..."

Indigo, whose collar was grabbed by Shiki, had a blank expression.

"Ah, yes, it's in that warehouse too."

Shiki lay limp on the hospital bed, his eyes vacant.

"My treasure, my cigars..."

Indigo sighed, "Boss Shiki, what are you going to do with your men who are left on the island? They'll be smashed to pieces if they fall from this height."

"Those good-for-nothings are dead, so be it."

A tear welled up in the corner of Shiki's eye.

"My cigar, that was the masterpiece of a cigar master. I should have known better than to kill that guy back then..."

……

One hour later—

Rose Church

The meat slug returned and spat out the fully recovered Rose.

"If I had known there would be this, I would have delayed my treatment."

As the island drew ever closer to the ground, Ross pulled out his flesh-sucking sword, but instead called out the name of the Wild Sun.

"Lox, how about a shot?"

Not far away, Rocks, covered in filth and blood, sat with his back against a wooden stump.

"This is troublesome. Don't you have several students who have awakened Conqueror's Haki? Get them to cooperate with you. I don't want to move right now!"

"Ok?"

Sensing the increasingly dangerous look in his eyes, Lox reluctantly got up, muttering to himself—
