One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"I'll let you make the first cut; I want to taste the flavor of a traitor."

"Your current aura makes me have absolutely no desire to draw my sword."

"So, come and chop me up, make me angry, and then..."

Ross displayed his madness, and a black flame gradually ignited deep within his eyes.

"Only then can I 'enjoy the main course'."

Chapter 28 The Death of Wang Zhi

"How arrogant..."

A strange, chuckling laugh rang out, and Wang Zhi slowly walked up to Ross.

He slowly drew the luxurious jeweled longsword from his waist.

"You'll pay for this arrogance, Ross."

The jeweled sword held aloft reflected the sun's brilliance.

"Lord Ross!!!"

"He is Wang Zhi, the pirate admiral, a powerful man known as the godfather of pirates. You must not underestimate him!!"

"Get out of the way, Lord Ross!"

"Shut up!"

When Ross met Wang Zhi's gaze, there was not a trace of fear in his eyes, only anticipation.

Anticipation of impending injury, anticipation of fierce battle, anticipation of the future.

"After you've eaten your fill of pork chops, can you still eat rice?!"

"Just stay there and watch quietly, don't worry, don't overthink it."

“I am Ross, the future owner of this island. All you can do is trust me.”

The words had barely left his mouth when the blade came slashing down.

puff--!!!

To prevent the enemy from counterattacking, Wang Zhi quickly retreated, but after waiting for a long time, he only saw the man dab a smear of blood from his wound and examine it closely.

"You really are..."

Instant Step!

The next moment, Ross appeared in front of Wang Zhi with a look of disappointment.

The right hand holding the knife is hidden on the left side of the body, with the arm muscles taut.

"You're very weak, Wang Zhi."

On the grass nearby, Kaido sat up straight, his playful expression turning solemn.

"That strange movement pattern again. I remember being cut down by this same slash last time."

puff--

The katana slashed upwards, and blood splattered.

Seeing Wang Zhi stagger backward with an incredulous look on his face, the black flame deep in Ross's eyes suddenly went out.

"Ugh, I have absolutely no desire to fight."

"Damn it, how can you be so weak!"

"I'm going crazy from holding my food in! I've been building up my appetite all this time, and I never thought I'd end up eating shit, you bastard!"

At that moment, Ross felt a surge of anger with nowhere to vent it.

The reason for all of this---

[Bleach Mark: Kenpachi Zaraki]

[Current resonance level: 49%]

[Mark Effect (Silver): Berserker Body, Armament Haki Affinity, Beast Instinct, Shikai, Cherish the Person Before You]

[Resonance reaches 30%, mark upgrade, gain special effect: Cherish those before you, Armament Haki affinity slightly enhanced.]

Armament Haki Affinity: Armament Haki recovery speed +75%, Armament Haki reserve +75%.

Cherish those in front of you: Because of the fear of easily losing enemies you can fight with all your might, once the battle begins, before encountering a truly respected opponent, the user will suppress some of their offensive desires and continue to accumulate them.

Unleash all power when you encounter someone worthy of your wrath, and unlock a new effect: Enjoy the Battle of the Demons.

Unlike when he fought Whitebeard, at that time, Ross could taste the domineering and ferocious nature of his opponent's attacks.

But facing Wang Zhi's slash,

Rose felt like...

My girlfriend, who I'm in a long-distance relationship with, came to visit my city. After watching a movie and having barbecue, we went back to my place.

She then replied, "Sorry, honey, I can't drink anything cold today."

That sense of absurdity made Rose, who had been holding back for a long time, want to open his skull and pour water inside.

Attacking is tasteless.

Ignore it, or it will be a pity to discard it.

Ross stared intently at Wang Zhi, who had somehow transformed into a beast-like form, his face grim.

Ross looked up at the other person, who was much taller than him, and gazed at the head that looked like either a dragon or a lizard.

He no longer cares what kind of Devil Fruit the other person ate.

We still need to grind for experience packs. Kenpachi Zaraki's resonance level is only 1% away from advancing to Gold Saint. It wouldn't be right to let Wang Zhi off the hook.

"Fine, I'll play along with you."

After adjusting his mindset, a red glint flashed in Rose's eyes.

The rapidly unfolding Observation Haki conveyed the message of the enemy's frenzied charge.

"Binding Path No. 81: Severing Emptiness".

boom--!!

The domineering barrier used for defense was shattered by the longsword. Wang Zhi took out the hand cannon from his waist, wrapped the bullet with domineering energy, and pulled the trigger.

"boring."

Ross swung his sword, shattering the cannonball, and raised his left hand.

With four fingers bent, the index finger points out.

"Bai Lei".

The frequent bursts of lightning propelled Wang Zhi backward.

As Ross chased after him, he taunted, "The best defense is offense, Wang Zhi."

roar--!!

Suddenly, Wang Zhi, in his human-beast form, opened his mouth wide, and a piercing sonic wave rushed toward the enemy!

Ross frowned slightly and shook his head, which was filled with a sharp ringing in his ears.

"go to hell!"

A dark shadow looms, and a terrifying killing intent descends!

Ross pulled out the Flesh Droplet with his left hand, and thrust the imposing blade behind him.

Bang! Whoosh! Boom!

Flying backwards into the villa, Ross pushed away the wooden piece of wood that was pressing him down and got up. Before he could continue, the eerie sonic attack struck again.

"It's so noisy, you jerk!"

The sudden burst of Conqueror's Haki shattered the roof.

"Devour, wild sun!"

The original momentum that rushed towards the clouds in the sky was strangely reversed, and after surrounding its master in a sphere, it continued to rotate.

The villa was shattered and collapsed due to the raging rotational force.

The sphere's rotational speed reached a certain point and then suddenly stopped, before exploding with a loud bang.

The resulting shockwave blew everything around it away!

With a large machete slung over his shoulder, Ross looked down at his left hand, which was clenched and relaxed.

"Tsk, his offensive desire has indeed been suppressed again. Wang Zhi, you really did kill Ma Long by sneak attack."

Wang Zhi, who was preparing to launch an attack, changed his expression slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I do such a thing?"

Ross twisted his neck from side to side.

"Is that so? Explain it however you like. Pirates don't care about those things anyway."

"The final assault is about to begin. If we die..."

Releasing the Armament Haki gathered at the soles of his feet, Ross burst forth in a blur!

Wang Zhi instinctively raised his sword to defend himself, and his Observation Haki suddenly locked onto the top of his head.

In the sky, in sight, the man and the setting sun gradually became parallel.

Perhaps it's because of the backlighting.

Wang Zhi suddenly realized that no matter how hard he tried to concentrate, he couldn't make out the enemy's face.

All I could see were those eyes that shone as brightly as the sun.

"I haven't repaid Malone for the drinks he bought me yet. Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to send you downstairs to apologize to him."

The two-colored domineering aura suddenly converged into the huge blade of the blade.

With a roar, Ross unleashed a full-force attack as he descended.

One-Sword Style: Sever!

"This domineering way of using it..."

Wang Zhi sensed something was wrong and was about to unleash his full defensive power when it was too late.

Until the weapon was severed by the enemy, the cleaver, still carrying its remaining power, broke through the aura and struck the body, and the intense pain came in an instant.

Wang Zhi regained consciousness, screamed, and tumbled backward as he flew through the air.

"impossible!!"

Ross gripped the hilt of the knife with his left hand and held the knife with both hands, gathering his strength.

When his Observation Haki signaled that the target's flight speed had slowed down, he suddenly unleashed a slash.

A massive "air shield" several meters high chased after the enemy.

It left behind ditches several meters deep wherever it went!

"Rocks's swordsmanship!? Why are you...!"

boom--!!

A hundred meters away, Wang Zhi, covered in wounds, struggled to his feet.

Barley

He braced himself on the ground with both hands, and several mouthfuls of blood spurted from his open mouth.

"You bastard...!!"

Coughing up blood again, Wang Zhi "fell to the ground," his expression contorted as he looked at the man who was approaching and looking down at him.

Those eyes, devoid of any emotion, are deeply imprinted in my mind and heart.

Not yet, now is not the best time to retaliate!

"I surrender! Ross, you definitely need manpower right now, right? I'm willing to join your pirate crew!!"
