One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

Reed was stunned. He had originally wanted to say that he didn't know what was recorded on it.

“I can’t read this script, but I dreamed about this stone tablet a long time ago.”

Hana Hanafuda put down her backpack, took out her rubbing tools, and began to copy the historical text.

"Unfortunately, I don't need the weapons recorded on this stone tablet."

"Then why did you want to see this stone tablet before?" the old king asked.

Ross knew perfectly well that if it weren't for his notorious reputation and the old man's fear of Alabasta's destruction, things would never have gone so smoothly.

“This is a gift for my beloved. She needs a lot of these things, and I plan to bring them back as a local specialty.”

A strange glint flashed in Reed's eyes.

"From your words, can I infer that you know the location of Hades?"

Ross glanced at the old man, offering neither a yes nor a no.

"You want it?"

Reed shook his head: "No, that kind of thing only brings destruction."

"The human heart is an abyss that can never be filled. Once people have the power to eat their fill, they will never want to go back to the days when they were hungry."

"The reappearance of ancient weapons on the sea will only lead to endless wars."

“Ambitious individuals have used it to conquer kingdom after kingdom and wage wars that have killed millions of people.”

"Those who are afraid are worried about the power of ancient weapons, so they can only take action in advance to control them."

"In this way, the war will never be able to stop."

"This sea will be filled with endless slaughter and become a true hell."

Ross never imagined that anyone on this vast ocean could resist the allure of ancient weapons.

In a sense, Pluto, with his cannon and island, represents absolute power and money; it is a super tool capable of satisfying the vast majority of desires.

Just as he said before.

The definition of a tool lies not in the tool itself, but in the hands of the user.

It is used to clear land and expand farmland; it is an agricultural tool.

If used for murder and arson, it becomes a deadly weapon.

"The wise choice is that even if you get it, you don't have the power to protect it, nor the right to control it."

"It's better to let a weapon slumber in the darkness than to acquire one that only brings negative value."

Reed was taken aback at first, then looked at the man after he realized what was happening.

"Is that what you're thinking too? I thought you wanted to find it and use it to accomplish something, or perhaps defend against an invading enemy."

Once the ink on the paper had completely dried, Hana Hanaza took out a rolled-up piece of animal hide, unfolded it, and carefully secured the paper inside the hide.

"The boss is all set."

Ross glanced at the stone tablet one last time, without a trace of lingering affection, and turned to leave.

"After lunch, it's time for us to leave."

"For the sake of Alabasta's safety, King Reed, I advise you never to reveal the secrets of this place."

"The information about Hades' location recorded on the stone tablet is best taken with you into the tomb."

"This is a major secret that could lead to the destruction of Alabasta. If the World Government finds out..."

"By the time we receive the news and rush over to provide support, this place will probably have already been razed to the ground by the Buster Call."

Chapter 191 Arrival in Ideal Land, Loki VS Barrett

Mid-March of the 1488rd year of the Haiyuan Calendar.

The rolling blue and white waves crashed onto the beach, submerging the lower legs of the golden human-shaped sculpture, before silently receding a few seconds later.

The September sun is still warm, though it has lost some of its oppressive heat, the temperature it still contains still indicates that the sweltering summer is not over.

Huge warships decorated with dragon heads were docked at the shore, and giants were shouting as they unloaded cargo from their decks.

Many goods that are rare in the human world are piled up on the beach.

Loki sat atop a cargo, yawning boredly.

"How boring, Ida, is it ready yet? It's been so long since I've seen Rocks."

"It'll be ready soon, Loki. Please wait a little longer."

Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~

Loki looked at the Den Den Mushi lying next to him and shouted, "Your Den Den Mushi!"

"Could you please take this for me? I'm very busy right now. Be careful, it's a branch that fell from the World Tree. It'll definitely fetch a super high price at the auction later!"

Kacha--

“Sister Ida, you’ve arrived, right? Basta said he saw your ship.”

Aurora's greeting came through the Den Den Mushi.

"Ida is busy."

Loki picked his nose: "I am Loki. You can talk to me about what's wrong."

"Loki? That name sounds familiar..."

The Den Den Mushi muttered somewhat insecurely, its voice switching to Jin in the next moment.

"Didn't the teacher say that you're the future King of Giants?"

The future King of Giants?

Loki struggled to suppress the upward curve of his lips and coughed lightly.

"That person wasn't wrong, I am Loki, the future King of Giants, so you can tell me whatever you need."

"Eh~ Need? I don't have that."

Seemingly feeling that saying that was a bit disrespectful, Aurora on the other end of the Den Den Mushi added:

"But my teacher did remind me, cough cough!"

Den Den Mushi cleared its throat, took out a black wig, put it on, combed it into a slicked-back style, and turned its eyes into a distinctive dark brown.

“Aurora, if a brat named Loki comes to Utopia in the future, tell him that here he can remove the shackles that bind his free soul. This is my territory, and no one dares to discriminate against a brat with an empty heart who likes to cry on my turf.”

"That's what the teacher said~"

"Damn it!! Who did he call a hollow, crybaby brat!?"

Loki got up cursing and started hurling insults at the Den Den Mushi.

"Don't compare me to that guy Halding! I won't cry! I'm Nika, the world-destroying Nika, the future king of Elbaf!!!"

"Where's your teacher? Tell me where he is, I'm going to beat him to a pulp!"

Suddenly, a disdainful voice came from the sky: "Another guy spouting nonsense."

Aurora on the other end of the Den Den Mushi recognized the voice and immediately frowned and scolded.

“Barrett, don’t do anything rash. Loki is Rocks’ friend and a guest whom the teacher specifically asked us to treat kindly.”

"Pshaw, treat me kindly? Anyone who dares to speak ill of a teacher doesn't deserve to be treated kindly."

The lightning coalesced around Loki, forming the body of a boy with his hands in his pockets.

Looking at the giant prince who was much taller than him, Barrett's disdain deepened as he unleashed his Observation Haki.

"So you're just a kid. You think you're so tough?"

"Your aura is weaker than that lizard turtle's. What right do you have to call yourself a king?"

Loki dropped the Den Den Mushi he was holding and expressionlessly pulled out the hammer from behind him.

"Want a fight, you little dwarf?"

Barrett raised one eyebrow slightly, jumped off the cargo, and in a flash, reappeared in the distance outside the forest.

"Come on, tall guy, let me see what gives you the right to yell that you want to beat up the teacher."

"You'll find out soon enough, after I smash you into the ground."

Loki gripped his hammer and charged forward, smashing it down on Barrett with all his might.

Boom~! !

The battle attracted the attention of Ida, who had been examining the branches of the World Tree.

"Loki? What are you doing?"

“I’m dealing with an arrogant dwarf. Don’t worry about me, Ida. I’ll spare his life.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Loki picked up his hammer, quickly sensing with his Observation Haki that the shallow crater he had created was empty.

Are you looking for me?

A fierce glint flashed in Loki's sealed eyes. Without looking in the direction from which the sound came, he released his hammer and threw a punch.

"Oh my god, that's really scary. It smashed my body with just one punch."

The head, attached to the shoulders, floated in mid-air.

Barrett chuckled sarcastically:

"Hey tall guy, haven't you awakened your Armament Haki yet?"

Loki picked up the hammer, frowned, and jumped.

He did know about Haki, but due to certain reasons, he could only use Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki at the moment.

With this thought in mind, Loki immediately decided to teach this human dwarf a lesson.

A violent aura burst forth from his body!

"Conqueror's Haki?"

To Loki's surprise, just when he thought the human would be stunned, a Conqueror's Haki that was exactly the same as his, and even surpassed his own, suddenly erupted.

Barrett's eyes widened, and his honed spirit, forged through countless trials, overwhelmed the enemy's domineering aura like a tsunami.

Who do you think I am?

"I am Professor Ross's most outstanding student, a second division vice-captain who is recognized by the professor and can stand on his own!"

Boom~! !

The thunderous roar of lightning-fast movement resounded!

Barrett clenched his fist as he appeared before Loki. Conqueror's Haki first swirled around him, then suddenly converged into a single point under a mysterious force.

"You should be very familiar with this way of exerting force."

"This is what my teacher taught me, watch this!"

Upon recognizing that the method of force application was almost identical to that of the Elbaf Spear, Loki's expression changed drastically: "Impossible!"

"Hellfire!"

The friction between his fist and the air generated a massive amount of flames. Barrett roared and blasted Loki away with his fist, which was filled with Haki and flames.

The loud explosion attracted all the giants that were unloading their cargo.

"Hehehehe~~~"

"It tastes good, doesn't it, tall guy? This is only seventy percent of my strength."

"Prince Loki!!!"

"It really tastes amazing."

Loki, who had fallen into the sea, sat up and spat out bloody phlegm mixed with broken teeth.

Wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth and tearing off the cloth sealing his eyes, he stared fiercely at Barrett with his demonic vertical pupils.

"But that's all it is. To me, your punches are less painful than the howl of a wolf."
