One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

He always felt that this was not the teacher's limit. He had clearly seen the arm absorbing the island's foundation growing larger, but then suddenly shrinking.

"Prepare to make your move!"

A red light flashed in Dorrag's eyes, and a storm that had been quiet for a long time suddenly rose into the sky.

But even faster came the golden flash.

At the moment the blue-pink dragon exploded, the massive cherry blossom blades indiscriminately shattered all the surrounding boulders.

The golden flash had already reached the area below the island.

It then exploded into countless golden particles.

These particles quickly coalesced and merged, forming three light clones of Borsalino.

"Alright, let's begin!"

The four Borsalinos simultaneously raised their hands, thumbs touching index fingers.

"The Eight-Foot Jade Ornament"

The barrage of light projectiles bombarded the remaining massive rocks as they fell.

Break it down into smaller parts.

Once Ross landed safely, his body had already returned to normal. Tianqian twirled his sword before sheathing it.

"It looks like it was a success."

Rocks, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, grinned and said:

"How could I possibly fail when I personally take action? This mere island, with this power, I even dare to attack the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!"

As the falling object entered within a hundred meters of him, a glint of light flashed in Dorrag's eyes.

It's time for him to make his move!

"The wind rises!!"

The wind in the sky and earth began to swirl, and in an instant, it formed more than a dozen miniature tornadoes.

Ninety meters!

Dorag clasped his hands together with a "snap," and the veins on his neck bulged.

"Wind Sweep!"

"tornado!!"

Finally, at a height of fifty meters, the tornado matured and began to frantically pull and tear at the last remaining island.

"ha!!!"

The tornadoes suddenly converged towards the center, merging into a huge, blurry-looking wind dragon.

With a wave of his right hand, the wind dragon carried most of the rubble off the island and crashed into the sea.

Hana Hanafuda transforms into her human-beast form and leaps into the air, her powerful claws shattering any stray stones.

"Leave the rest to us."

Chapter 168 Post-War Conference, Fully Launched!

"I'm going to be busy for a while again."

"Don't complain! Uncle As just sent someone to let us know that we'll still get paid for the reconstruction work. I heard that they're going to start the second construction plan this time!"

"That plan? I remember it was temporarily halted before."

“My uncle’s aunt’s nephew is in the Guard Regiment. I heard him say that the reason for the previous halt was that the island was too small. Now that the enemy has sent five islands over, the plan has been restarted.”

"Eh~~~ Lord Ross is planning to include those five small islands in Miracle Island as well?"

"..."

The people who emerged from the gold mine were talking animatedly, some of them still looking slightly drunk.

"Forget about that, there's a great bonfire party tomorrow night, I'm going to have a good drink with those mermen!"

"That's right, that's right! They are all great heroes who protect Miracle Island. We should have a good drink with them!"

[Three hours after the war ended, Miracle Island, Ross Church]

The bodies in the chapel had been cleaned up, and all the windows were open, allowing the air to circulate and wash away the lingering smell of blood.

Scattered on the bench were many of Ross's subordinates.

"Sorry I'm late, hahaha~~"

When Kiel Basda walked into the chapel reeking of alcohol, Ross, who was standing in front of the statue, turned around.

"Let's find a place to sit."

"This war, just as I expected, was a war that started strong but ended weakly."

"The enemy has confirmed the intelligence that Rocks has been resurrected, and we have obtained the land we wanted most. This may be a win-win situation in a sense."

"ember,"

Jin, who was sitting on the bench at the very front, stood up.

"You'll have a tough time in the coming days. There's a gold vein beneath the church. Try to use the power of divine retribution to extract it."

"The underground space doesn't need to be filled for now. Neptune will stay here with the Sea Kings to help survey the seabed environment."

"I understand!" Jin sat down.

Ross looked at Brook in the second row, whose skeleton was riddled with cracks.

"Are you currently in charge of the ten pirate crews that follow us?"

Brooke nodded in agreement, with a pile of empty bottles of high-calcium milk next to her.

"Barrett, take your troops to help Brook and deal with the nobles on the five nearby islands as quickly as possible."

"Time is of the essence. We must eliminate them all before they start a second unnecessary war by exploiting civilians."

"Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. I don't have time to waste on screening. After that, As, send people over to assist with management. Basta, your ghost will go with you."

The people whose names were called all responded in response.

Neptune,

Ross glanced at the fishman who was also sitting in the first row and pondered for a moment.

"Please convey to Your Majesty that Utopia has formally submitted an application for an alliance with you."

"All the promises made before will be fulfilled within three years. Both the business district and the joint residential area will be completed gradually within the three-year period."

Neptune had a smile on his face the whole time. On his way back to the church from the eastern battlefield, he encountered many civilians.

The doubts and criticisms of the past have disappeared, replaced by praise and friendliness.

"The king will be very happy to hear this news."

Ross smiled and gestured for Neptune to sit down.

"Don't worry about the mermaid traffickers. The ghost of Basta will monitor the nearby ports and waters. In addition, Ginny... she is our intelligence officer. Once she returns, the Den Den Mushi communications will also be monitored."

"Within three years, the activity area of ​​the fishmen will be controlled as much as possible on Miracle Island. By the time the underwater entertainment city starts construction, the transformation of the other five small islands should be almost complete."

"Then you can confidently go and operate in a wider area."

After finishing their conversation about the merfolk, Ross looked at Borsalino, who was leisurely filing his nails, and Dragon, who was holding a small notebook.

"At the beginning of next year, Rocks, Hana Hanafuda, and I will be going out to sea to take care of some business in the first half of the park. We probably won't be back for a while."

“The safety of this place is in your hands until we return, especially yours, Dorag.”

Dorag was stunned, not understanding why the teacher had singled him out.

“I know Borsalino’s personality. Before I return, all matters concerning Miracle Island will be discussed and decided by you, As, and Borsalino.”

"If you're unsure, contact me again using a Den Den Mushi (snail phone); it's the best opportunity to practice."

Dorrag then realized what was happening and quickly nodded to indicate that he would work hard.

“Ivankov, New Start has a lot of things to do. You stay here and help Dorag and the others.”

Ivankov raised his hand solemnly: "No problem, I'll stay here to study during this time too."

"That's all for now. As, Weeks, and Barrett, the three of you stay here. The rest of you can get back to work."

After the meeting ended and the three people who were called back by Ross went to sit on the bench at the front.

“Barrett, you can keep your promise. After this war ends, any surviving soldiers from the Endless War Nation can bring their families to Miracle Island. It’s all voluntary.”

"You can decide what to do with the permanent residency quota after that. Do I need to remind you where to use it?"

Barrett shook his head and said no, "By the way, teacher, what do you plan to do with that World Government agent?"

World Government agents?

Ross then remembered the man named Merlin.

"Bring him to see me in an hour."

“Yes, I understand.” Barrett stepped away.

"Wex, put everything aside for now and make the highest concentration of fruit enhancement potion before we leave."

Upon hearing this, Weeks, though unsure of the reason for doing so, immediately agreed and left the chapel.

"As, for the time being, you can focus on training your successor. Don't be afraid of making mistakes."

Ross sat down next to As, his voice lowered:

"On this voyage, I will try to find traces of pure gold as soon as possible. Its purpose is to stabilize your existing body to the greatest extent possible."

"You need to take good care of your health before I find it, and it's best to keep yourself in top condition."

As suppressed his excitement, his hands gripping his cane trembled slightly.

"Don't worry, I intend to witness the miracles of the new era with my own eyes, and I will definitely not die easily."

"Yes, there's one more thing."

After unleashing his Observation Haki and confirming that there were no people or ghosts around, Ross finally spoke:

"Regarding the giants, although I did not invite them this time, sometimes it is more important to help those in need than to add to their existing good fortune."

"As, do you understand?"

As nodded slowly, exhaled deeply, and his eyes sharpened:

"I know how to handle this, so please rest assured. I still remember the incident where Princess Date secretly contacted human merchants."

"It's impossible for the giants to cooperate with us like before. They are not the fishmen who fought alongside us, and they can't get the benefits that the fishmen get."

“These differences will naturally become the best way to teach the giants a lesson.”

"It's good that you understand. The giants' temperament still needs to be tempered."

Ross rested his hands on the back of the bench, tilted his head back, and looked directly at the statue in front of him.

“Completely shatter their illusions, let them see the true nature of human merchants. They won’t know how precious our olive branch is until they suffer a great loss.”

As listened patiently until Ross finished speaking before he began to tell some things that he couldn't say to others.

"What are your plans regarding the God of Fortune?"

"His loan sharking business was connected to the slave trade. Although the other party kept saying that the other party owed money and did not pay it back, and that they worked for him voluntarily, everyone knew the inside story."

"Plus, there was that dream world that Barrett experienced before..."

As stopped speaking at just the right moment, knowing exactly when he should have gone on.

"Soon, a man named Ronan from the North Sea will come here. The God of Fortune is just a title; he could be Du Feld, or Ronan, or even As."

Ross patted As's thigh, got up, and slowly walked away.

"Deal with disobedient people as soon as possible. While we are currently enjoying a high reputation and have many opportunities to try and fail, we can confidently and boldly employ some young people."

"As for Feld's opinion on how to handle things, let Barrett take Ronan with him after he graduates from your training."

As responded softly, and only after Ross disappeared did he raise his somewhat cloudy old eyes.
