One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

Beehive Island must be overthrown and rebuilt; a neutral island can only be born from ruins.

A power that has never experienced destruction is not a good power.

Whether it's Wang Zhi's mark or Lockes' mark, they must all be erased.

Beehive Island, this island about to be reborn, can only have one voice, one will, one mark.

That's Rose!

"Hehehe, looks like I'm a step too late!"

Kaido's voice echoed from the sky, "You've really caused quite a ruckus, haven't you? Are you planning to kill everyone here?"

"It depends. Apart from Wang Zhi, he's more useful alive than dead."

Ross didn't stop or explain the use of the Wangzhi experience pack in detail, and quickened his pace toward the next destination.

"Kaido, get out of the way. If you want a share of the loot, attack from the other side."

“The southern part of Beehive Island is mine, and Wang Zhi is mine too.”

In the sky, the blue dragon's eyes rolled, a cunning glint in them.

"I might as well leave the north to you; I'll go and take care of Kiel Basda for you."

"That guy contacted me a while ago, asking if I wanted to form an alliance with Wang Zhi..."

Seeing the man below stop and look up, Kaido chuckled strangely.

"He also said he could get a share of the treasure left by Rocks, but he doesn't know that I've already joined forces with you."

“Basta…”

After a moment of thought, Ross looked at Kaido again.

“Find him and tell him that I gave him two choices: the first is to withdraw from this war, because I am short of manpower right now.”

"I remember he was a Spirit Human who ate the Paramecia-type Spirit-Spirit Fruit. His ability is suitable for the neutral island I want to build in the future."

"The second option is to side with Wang Zhi, but all that awaits him is retribution and the blade of the Wild Sun. I will ask someone to find the Spirit Fruit of Rebirth and a suitable user for it."

Kaido, in his dragon form, instinctively looked at the sword in the man's right hand, a worn-out, serrated blade.

"I understand, so I'm off! Hehehe~!"

Ross continued on his way only after the dragon had completely disappeared into the clouds.

"Yo ho ho ho~ Hmph hmph hmph?~"

"Delivering Binks' finest wine to your side~"

Footprints faded into the silent ruins, while an ethereal and eerie song was carried away by the wind.

……

[Second Block]

Pirates who had received the call early on blocked the entrance to the street, their guns already loaded.

On the roofs of many houses, you can even see cannons that have been moved up there.

"Everyone be careful, that guy is very strong!"

Warnings rang out from the crowd.

"Listen up, you guys who have awakened Observation Haki! If you sense an enemy's presence, attack in that direction immediately!"

"The others will immediately follow your offensive; you must kill the target as soon as possible!"

"For Rocks' treasure!!"

The originally somber atmosphere instantly became more frenzied under the onslaught of money.

"For Rocks' treasure!"

"Hahaha, that's right! For Rocks' treasure!!"

"If I can get that Pele, I'll treat everyone tonight!"

"..."

"That man is here! Attack!!"

Cannonballs, bullets, flying slashes...

The attacks were interspersed with poison packets and throwing knives that glowed with an eerie blue light.

As Ross walked, he raised his head and shaded his eyes with his left hand.

With a crooked mouth and slanted face, he seems to be possessed by Kizaru.

"Oh~ that's a fantastic attack~ Pirates from the New World, they're really~ super~ terrifying~~"

"Binding Spell Number Eighty-One..."

Armament Haki flowed and transformed, instantly forming a semi-transparent defensive wall in front of him.

“Broken ~ Empty”.

Chapter 25: Kaido the Persuader

[Wang Zhi's villa in the center of Beehive Island]

boom--!

The door, kicked open with great force, leaned precariously to one side, and Kaido, carrying his spiked club, strode into the room with a pigeon-toed gait.

"It's been a long time, Wang Zhi."

With all the floor-to-ceiling windows open, Wang Zhi stood on the extended platform, gazing at the distant street where black smoke was rising. In front of him, on the railing, sat a wine glass with its liquid constantly swirling.

"Kaido, I don't remember inviting you."

He sat down on the sofa, casually tossing the spiked club aside.

Kaido picked up a bunch of grapes and stuffed them into his mouth.

"I'm not someone you can just invite, Bastard. Aren't you going to come out and say hello to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ghost with two revolvers at its waist slowly flew out from the wall connecting to the next room.

"Hey, Kaido, didn't you disagree with the alliance before?"

"That's because the alliance you chose was too weak."

Kaido paid no attention to Wang Zhi's darkening expression, and his strange, gurgling laughter echoed throughout the villa.

"Wang Zhi, you're dead."

"Ross's power is terrifying right now. I had originally agreed with him to launch an attack together."

"But I was a little late, as for the reason for being late~"

"I ran into Newgate on my way here and had a drink with him."

"Guess what information I got?"

A sense of unease crept into Wang Zhi's heart. Could Whitebeard have really allied with Ross?

"Newgate acknowledged Ross's strength."

Wang Zhi's heart, which had just been at ease, was gripped again. His pupils contracted, and he strode quickly toward Kaido, somewhat losing his composure.

He grabbed Kaido's collar with both hands, his expression changing slightly.

"What did you just say happened to Newgate?!"

Didn't I make myself clear?

Kaido picked at the grape skin between his teeth, repeating what he had just said with an indifferent expression.

"...He had a fight with Newgate a while ago, from night to day. Although Ross lost in the end, I'm not surprised."

"Newgate is a super monster who can fight alongside Rocks, Wang Zhi. Have I made myself clear this time?"

Pushing Wang Zhi aside, Kaido grabbed a few slices of orange and watermelon from the table and took a big bite.

"I'm here as a persuader. Hey, Bastard, where's your body?"

Basta, in his ghost form, took a few steps back, his expression wary: "What do you want?!"

"Ross asked me to pass on a message: he's giving you two choices."

After finishing the watermelon with orange-like flesh, Kaido looked at the ghost that was about to escape not far away and relayed Ross's words verbatim.

"He must have his eye on the Spirit Fruit you ate. Ross plans to flatten Beehive Island and rebuild his power there."

"I suspect he might want to use your Devil Fruit ability as a bodyguard. Back when Rocks was still alive, didn't you often do spying?"

Bassda, in his ghost form, had a darker expression: "That kid wants me to be his subordinate?!"

Kaido shrugged: "You don't need to get angry at me. Only Ross would look down on someone like you."

"You bastard Kaido, do you want to die!?"

Kaido was completely unfazed by the Ghost Gunner's threat: "If you can kill me, then go ahead, but if you can't, I'll definitely kill you."

"Hey, I'm talking to you guys..."

Wang Zhi's pupils transformed into the vertical pupils of a wild beast with each breath.

"Isn't this a huge disregard for me?"

Kaido glanced at Wang Zhi, who was beginning to transform into his animal form. "I heard that the Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit you ate has awakened. What, do you want to fight me, the one who ate the Azure Dragon Fruit?"

"I wouldn't mind taking care of you before Ross gets here; maybe I can even get a bigger share of the treasure."

Wang Zhi frequently flicked his forked tongue, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a wisp of killing intent gradually emanated from him.

"Etc., etc!"

Just then, Basta hurriedly flew between the two.

"Hey, now's not the time for you guys to fight amongst yourselves!"

"Basta, make your choice."

Kaido picked up his spiked club and stood up, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki.

"Is it a choice to ally with me and divide up Lox's treasure, or to walk down a dead end and wait for Ross to hunt you down?"

The temperature in the room was getting lower and lower, and Basta, sensing that something was wrong, secretly groaned.

He didn't come here to form an alliance with anyone, but rather to see what treasures Rocks left on this island.

but……

In his ghost form, a hint of annoyance flashed in Basta's eyes.

Wang Zhi, that bastard actually dared to lie to me!

There is no Locust's treasure on Beehive Island at all!

No, that's not entirely true.

Rocks had plenty of Beli and gold and jewels, but those things were simply not worthy of the legendary pirate Rocks' status!

What Captain Rocks left behind is a treasure that ordinary pirates could find?

what!

Anyway, Basta didn't believe such nonsense.

"Wang Zhi, where did you hide the real treasure left behind by Lox?"

Faced with Basta's sudden question, Wang Zhi's heart started racing.

Oh no, I forgot about this guy's abilities...

"Hehehe~ How could I possibly put it somewhere that everyone can find it?"

"Only I know about that place!"

Wang Zhi raised his right index finger and tapped his temple. "If I die, no one will know where that treasure is. It's an incredibly vast and terrifying treasure!!"
