One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

Ross's explanation came through the Den Den Mushi:

"Black Arm Zephyr's forces and Garp's warships were still wandering around the New World a while ago, but they have suddenly disappeared in the last few days."

"Even the seagulls of Morgans cannot find their tracks."

“I suspect their target is Beehive Island, Roger. You know, I plan to take that island and turn it into a neutral island.”

"Honeycomb Island will definitely become an important checkpoint on the way to the final island in the future."

The final island?

Roger's playful expression vanished, and his brow furrowed slightly.

"You just mentioned the final island. What is that place? Did you find something I don't know about?"

The Den Den Mushi grinned triumphantly, raising its tentacles and transforming them into the shape of a "1":

"If you do me this favor, I'll tell you the key information to the final destination when you return to the New World."

"make a deal!"

Roger agreed without hesitation.

"What about time?"

---Hot Air Balloons in the New World of Morgans---

Ross partially covered the microphone and glanced at Morgans, who was eavesdropping.

"How long is it from here to Beehive Island?"

"It will take at least a month."

Morgans took out the New World-specific record pointer and shook his head as he looked at the constantly shaking dashboard.

"This is still the ideal time. The New World is different from Paradise. The weather here changes too quickly, and sometimes it can even turn into a natural disaster."

"Wait for me, Roger."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Ross asked Morgans for the sea chart to the amusement park.

After searching for a while, the finger stopped on the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Roger, the plan has changed. We will arrive at Beehive Island within a month."

"The closest place to Water Seven is the Sabaody Archipelago, that place..."

Ross moved the nautical chart aside and began to look through the still-unfinished news materials on the table.

"There will be a slave auction soon, and the items for auction are mermaids. I think the Celestial Dragons will definitely not miss this opportunity."

“As soon as you appear, Garp will return to Paradise as fast as he can. To him, you are no different from fresh dung that flies like.”

Upon hearing this, the Den Den Mushi's face immediately fell, its dead fish eyes widening in disbelief.

"Hey Ross, aren't you being a bit too harsh with your words?"

"What do you mean I'm no different from poop? Does that mean my life goal is just to become shit?!"

"A metaphor, just a metaphor."

Ross picked up the microphone again and changed the subject with a few laughs.

“I will ask Newgate to release false information about the journey to Beehive Island.”

"In that case, the navy will have to carefully consider the pros and cons if it wants to reap the benefits."

“Newgate and I are both remnants of the Rocks Pirates. With Garp and Sengoku gone, Zephyr alone is definitely not enough to stop the combined attack of Newgate and me.”

"The Navy and the World Government will not allow a future Black Fist Admiral to perish in such a place."

"A month...?"

The Den Den Mushi raised its tentacles and rubbed its chin, its large eyes full of thought.

"I understand. I will head to Sabaody Archipelago as soon as possible to distract Garp. Don't forget what you promised me."

After receiving Ross's affirmative reply, Roger hung up the Den Den Mushi on his own initiative.

Seeing that Ross had no intention of making a second call, Morgans asked curiously:

"Didn't you want to contact Whitebeard?"

"No, that news isn't suitable to circulate in the open. Wang Zhi isn't exactly a bold guy."

Ross hesitated for a moment, then dialed the Den Den Mushi again.

Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~

Kacha--

"Moshi moshi~~"

"Is that Stusi-chan~~"

Den Den Mushi took out double eyelid tape from its shell and put it on. Then it took out cosmetics and quickly applied heavy makeup to itself.

"Oh, it's Ross. I haven't heard from you in a long time. I thought you were taken back by Lingling to give birth."

Lingling?

A few drops of cold sweat trickled down Ross's forehead, his throat tightened, and he swallowed hard.

"Stop joking, Stusi-chan~"

"Lingling probably doesn't like me, right? I have no interest in having any deep or superficial conversations with her."

"Anyway, Lingling is very curious about you. When I was a guest at Wanguo a while ago, her room had a lot of photos and information about you."

“I heard her say that it’s Shiki who’s been selling information about you everywhere, in two tiers: high-level and low-level.”

"The former costs five million Berries per share, while the latter costs only one hundred thousand Berries."

That bastard Shiki...

With a soft sigh, Ross steered the conversation back on track.

"We'll talk about Shiki later. I'd like to ask you for a small favor. You have connections in the underworld, right?"

"Pass on a message for me: Newgate and I have formed a pirate alliance, swearing to advance and retreat together, and live and die together."

The Den Den Mushi blinked. "A pirate alliance? Are you kidding me? How could Newgate possibly ally with you?"

“I know Newgate, he’s not that kind of person.”

Ross pulled the microphone slightly away from his lips and shrugged at Morgans:

"You see, this is what I meant by spreading this false information only in the underworld."

"The remnants of the Rocks Pirates won't take this information seriously, and neither will Wang Zhi."

"But the Navy is different; they wouldn't dare gamble on Whitebeard's character."

“Stussy,”

Ross looked at the Den Den Mushi again, his sincere smile and earnest gaze perfectly conveying his message to the other side.

“I plan to take over Beehive Island; that place will become my territory.”

"As a reward for my help, you can come to me if you ever become homeless or need help in the future, and I can provide you with shelter and safety."

Chapter 23 Pirate Island Beehive [Prologue]

Thirty days later, in the sea area where the Pirate Island hive is located.

The hot air balloon remained suspended in mid-air.

"Rose, I won't see you off. This is the best live broadcast angle I've chosen."

Morgans opened the door and grinned:

"I will be broadcasting live from here, and the broadcast will reach wherever the World Economic News can reach."

"I'll help you become famous, hahaha!!!"

"Let's not talk about helping each other when it's mutually beneficial, dear President Morgans."

President?

Morgans raised an eyebrow, coughed lightly with a fist at the tip of his wing to his lips, but couldn't hide his smugness on his face.

Standing by the door, looking down at the bustling island below, Ross pulled out his Wild Sunflower with his right hand and tapped it lightly on his shoulder.

"Olvia and those little guys will stay with you for now. Please bring them down after the battle is over."

"Hey, Ross!"

Morgans suddenly called out to stop the man who was about to jump off the ship.

"Aren't you worried about failing? This is Wang Zhi's stronghold!"

"After Rocks died, that guy took over this place for himself, and all the pirates on the island obeyed his orders!"

“I’ve also received special intelligence that anyone who brings your head to him can exchange it for half of Rocks’ treasure!”

"Wow, my head is worth that much? That's something to be happy about."

Ross chuckled a few times, his short, dark brown hair, which hung down to his ears, being ruffled by the strong wind.

With an imposing air, his left hand wrapped around his head, his fingertips gliding smoothly from his hairline down to the back of his head.

Her hair, which had been blown into a mess, was neatly combed back, leaving only a wisp of hair hanging down in front of her forehead.

Gripping the airship tightly, feeling his blood begin to boil and his spirits soar, Ross took a deep breath and stepped straight out of the airship.

“Look carefully, Morgans.”

"No one can stop the arrival of a new era. The old era will come to a complete end on Beehive Island. The villains will pave the red carpet with their blood to welcome the true master of this island."

"The show is about to begin."

……

Pirate Island Beehive

On the intricate, narrow streets, a steady stream of pirates continued to discuss Ross's whereabouts.

"It's strange, there's no information about that guy in either the underworld or the newspapers."

"Pfft, he's probably dead somewhere. That guy was invisible when Boss Lox was still alive."

"That's right, that's right, how could someone like that possibly fight against Boss Shiki! He'd probably be scared out of his wits and run away!"

"Hahaha, you're right..."

huh~~~

Suddenly, the sound of something cutting through the air overhead attracted the attention of a large number of pirates.

"What's that sound? Is someone attacking?"

"Don't be ridiculous, who could attack from the sky? It must be the remains of an animal that was flung into the sky by a sea king."

"That's...that's...What?! Hey, that's not animal remains, it's a person, a human being!"

"Wait a minute, that guy looks kind of familiar!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the outermost block connecting to the wilderness, an "unknown object" crashed down, kicking up a large amount of dust that obscured visibility.

Pirates who had heard the news gathered at the entrance, watching with curiosity.

"Huh, what's that green light?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an unparalleled Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted.

"Where's Wang Zhi? Did that guy wash his neck?"

Ross did not use the "privilege" of Conqueror's Haki; instead, he controlled his aura to a just-right degree.

Feeling bewildered and sweating, but not mentally taxing.

"That man... Oh no! He's the enemy!! The greatsword master Ross, with a bounty of half the Rocks Treasure!!"

"Notify the Admiral, the enemy is here!!!"
