One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

Ross pats the bear: "He is a member of the Bakania tribe."

Bear looked flustered and raised his hand to cover Ross's mouth.

"That's an absolute secret, uncle. If you reveal it, it will definitely bring disaster!"

"Oh, so the bear cub is a member of the Bakania tribe~~"

Ginny jumped onto the table, grabbed the bear's ear, squinted, and said with a forced smile:

"Bear, you're not worried that you'll drag me down, that's why you keep rejecting my confessions, are you?"

The bear looked distressed and at a loss.

"So you're from this clan too."

Rocks then realized what was happening and patted the bear's enormous body.

"Don't feel dangerous just because you are one of this race. In some ways, the Davids are actually the same race as the Bakanias."

"You can think of us as two branches heading towards different futures, but we share the same blood."

Xiong looked at Rocks and sighed, "But Uncle Rocks, even if you say that... wait!"

The bear, belatedly realizing what was happening, looked shocked: "You just said you and I are of the same race?!"

“The Bakania are a very large bloodline, and David may just be one branch of it.”

Lox rummaged through his few remaining memories.

“There may still be Bakania people living in some corner of this sea, but most of them have forgotten their past and are unaware of the mission of this race and the things they have experienced in the past.”

"Four years ago, the World Government wanted to eliminate the David family because eight hundred years ago, our ancestors were the kings of the world, but they were defeated and lost to the World Government."

"Your ancestors may have also played some important role back then."

"The Mary Geoise of today is actually the holy land created by the victorious coalition of the Twenty Kings."

Ross got up and made himself another cup of coffee, then took over the conversation.

"The Celestial Dragons claim to be descendants of the creator god, largely because the World Government was founded by those twenty kings."

"No, I doubt whether the bloodline of the Twenty Kings still exists."

"Lox, have you seen Im's third body?"

A third body?

Lox frowned and asked, "Are you referring to the strange figure from God Valley that possessed the Five Elders?"

Ross shook his head in denial: "That's through the Five Elders or the Knights of God, a second body that descends through a contract."

"As for the first body..."

In his view, Im's first body should be the huge black shadow that Sabo saw when he sneaked in, as depicted in the original manga.

The second body is the contracted body, which is a temporary body that is brought to you by the Five Elders or Junzi.

The third body...

“The heart represents the soul, Lox, eight hundred years ago, no, perhaps even longer ago, the sea.”

"The alien race of Lunaria descended upon the sea, and with the help of technology far beyond that era, they ascended the ladder and became gods."

"They helped Joy Boy create a utopia where all things are equal; they used technology to create ancient weapons—"

"Uranus, the king of the gods who foresees and controls the weather; Pluto, the evil warship that destroys islands with a single shot; and Poseidon, the sea god who lives in the ocean and commands giant sea monsters."

Rose, who had sat down again, became the focus of attention.

"After Im defeated the previous World King and Joyboy, he captured all the members of the Lunaria race."

"and many more."

Rocks frowned and called a halt:

"You mean, the race that brat Jhin belongs to isn't actually a special race born from the sea itself?"

Ross nodded in agreement.

"He used the technology of modifying bloodline factors to create a super humanoid weapon that could bear his power."

"That is the third body I just mentioned. That body is a terrifying weapon that can perfectly unleash the power of demonic energy."

"But I guess his modifications weren't quite successful."

After a brief pause, Ross recalled a comic book he had seen before his transmigration.

Im descended upon Elbaf in a third body, with silver hair and brown skin, everything about him closely resembling the Lunaria race.

The only difference between him and Ash is that the third body Im used for his descent was not followed by the red flame that symbolizes hope.

Instead, the pupil ring was composed of ominous, jet-black flames.

Ross stroked his chin, lost in thought.

He remembered that when Im first appeared in that body, he didn't seem to have wings on his back.

Then the image of wings appears...

Those wings were also different from Jin's; they were wreathed in constantly burning black flames.

In other words, the strongest body that Im created might not be the ultimate, complete form.

Due to some unknown circumstances, he was unable to perfectly replicate everything about the Lunaria race.

But it could also be disdain; perhaps with Im, the omnipotent magic could conjure up anything he needed.

That includes the pair of wings.

"A black sun".

Lox asked, puzzled, "What is that?"

“Im is a completely different sun from Joyboy. Have you seen the murals hidden deep within Elbaf?” Ross asked.

"Is it the mural that depicts the world?"

Seeing Ross nod, Rocks looked thoughtful.

"I have seen it, but I don't quite understand the meaning of that painting."

"What about the Grimoire of Halley?" Ross continued to ask.

This time, Lockes shook his head: "I can't understand the writing on it, but I know that the book seems to describe several different worlds."

Ross didn't talk much about the contents of the divine code.

"There are two sun gods in this world. One is Nika, the liberating sun god, and the other is the dark sun god who brings darkness and domination."

"But both of these deities have a point that cannot be bypassed..."

"That's the technology they all developed from the Lunaria race!"

Chapter 185 The Flawed God and the Complete World

"That race uses technology to capture the souls of all things and stuff them into easily preserved fruits, making them appear in every corner of the sea in the form of Devil Fruits."

"Initially, they may have just wanted to use this superpower to change the world."

"As time went by, human ambition began to grow, and they discovered new uses for Devil Fruits."

"Then, the struggle began, and people started frantically fighting for the stronger Devil Fruits..."

Tremors, thunder, Nika...

Countless fruits have appeared over the centuries, shining with their own brilliance, only to vanish into nothingness under the black sun.

Ross picked up his coffee and took a sip.

“I have a very outrageous guess, Lockes.”

"Did the king of the twenty-nation coalition really die back then?"

Lockes swallowed, his pupils trembling slightly, as if he had guessed what Ross was about to say next.

"I saw Im's third body in my dream. It was a fire wheel made of demonic energy with more than a dozen eyes carved on it, as well as various weapons that detached from the fire wheel."

"Moreover, his demonic energy... I always felt that the weapons created by that demonic energy were not fabricated out of thin air, but were the weapons of the oath of the twenty kings back then."

Lockes clenched his teeth and unconsciously tightened his fists.

He was well aware of Ross's prophetic abilities; since the other party claimed to have seen it in a dream, it must be something that would happen in the future.

In other words, Im, that monster, really does have a stronger body!

“Twenty Kings… Ross, are you saying that Im might have similar abilities to you, and that he absorbed his former allies through some means?”

"To transform their power into our own, and thus jointly dominate the world."

Ross put down his cup, his expression solemn.

"This is a very likely guess. Although it sounds outrageous, once you eliminate all the impossible options, whatever remains, no matter how outrageous, is the truth."

“Lox, don’t forget, eight hundred years ago, not all twenty kings moved to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.”

"Queen Lily of Alabasta was one of the few first kings who, after a moment of realization, chose to exile herself."

This may be the reason why Im's third body is imperfect.

The other party's obsession with Queen Lily is not because they are attracted to her as a person, but because of the power she wields.

This is why Im wanted Vivi in ​​the original story, because that generation of desert queen was so similar to the former Queen Lily.

It was so similar that even Im had the illusion that Queen Lily was still alive today.

He can become whole if he takes Lily's power.

From a flawed god to a complete world!

This has nothing to do with love; that power has become Im's obsession, or rather, his demonic possession.

"Your guess is really..."

After hesitating for a long time, Locke gave a wry smile and uttered the final adjective.

"It's too terrifying. Even I never thought of it this way. Let's call it a broken black sun for now."

“You just mentioned the murals depicting the world, the hidden Halle Codex, and stories from eight hundred years ago.”

"If we connect all of these together, it's not hard to come to a conclusion."

Lockes took several deep breaths, suppressing his shock.

"That means the world isn't complete; the monster is missing something—"

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously voiced their guesses.

"A Gem of the Desert Kingdom!" *2

After Ross and Rocks bumped fists, smiles appeared on their faces.

"As I thought, you were right, Rocks."

"It seems we need to make a trip to the desert kingdom of Alabasta before heading to the East China Sea."

Lockes nodded in approval of the proposal:

“You’re right. If we want to find out the truth about what happened back then and his weaknesses, the desert kingdom that once gave birth to a queen is a necessary stop.”

"All right."

Suddenly, Kureha interrupted the analysis meeting with a blank expression.

"I don't care what happened 800 years ago, I don't care who the king of the world is, and I don't want to know what will happen in the future."

"If there's nothing else, please leave. I don't really like so many people crowding into my house."

Rocks shut up, and it was about time to stop speculating about the source of Im's power.

To learn more, they must find more clues and historical details.

"Ross, I'm leaving Alice and those two brats in your care. I have some things to do."

"Those bastards actually want to turn my family into monsters, this is absolutely intolerable."

Rocks helped Alice put on the bearskin coat, his fierce smile fading, leaving only tenderness.
