One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

Before the lightning could strike, Garp, who had already activated his Observation Haki, dodged and moved again.

boom--!!

The ground shattered, and a giant hand formed from the soil grabbed the running enemy.

"Don't let him get away, Gaia."

The earth was no longer peaceful. The moment the facial features appeared, Garp sensed the presence of a new enemy.

Zeus's thunderbolts descended a second time.

Garp's smile vanished, his eyes widened, and he unleashed his full Conqueror's Haki!

The giant mud and rock hands easily tore apart the body.

Then he shattered the lightning with one punch and cracked the earth with another.

A series of mournful cries echoed deep underground.

shave!

Garp appeared above a deserted open space, took a deep breath, and held it.

"Infinite Fist Bone!"

With his arms swinging in a blur, countless dark fist shadows blasted towards the target area.

Boom boom boom...

More and more potholes are appearing on the ground.

In less than half a minute, the once flat ground sank into a huge pit.

The onlookers in the distance could only hear the thumping sounds coming from Moonwalk.

Subconsciously, I looked up at the sky and saw only the heroic navy figures standing in the sky, their eyes flashing red light.

"Missed it..."

"Thunder! Lightning!"

The long-accumulated lightning instantly engulfed Garp.

Charlotte Linlin seized the opportunity to emerge from the ground, leap into the air, and spin rapidly like a top.

"Mam, attack!"

The emperor's sword struck successfully, but there was no satisfying feeling of severing flesh.

Charlotte Linlin stared at the direction the enemy had flown backward, and was first taken aback. After realizing what had happened, her expression changed slightly.

"Damn it, your target is Ross!!"

Meanwhile, on the back of the cake castle --

Ross slashed Zephyr with a single sword strike, and just as he was about to launch a pursuit, his Observation Haki signaled that an attack was imminent.

The strategy shifted from offense to defense.

The next moment, a fist wrapped in advanced Armament Haki slammed into the side of the blade.

"We've changed people. It's much more straightforward here. Zefa, Lingling is yours!"

Zephyr, covered in slash marks, nodded and ran towards Big Mom, who was rushing towards them.

"Be careful, Garp. Something's wrong with the cursed sword in Ross's right hand. That sword seems to be able to counter Armament Haki."

"Restrained domineering aura? Hmm~"

Garp took off his justice cape and tossed it aside.

"Is that so? Then I'll have to give it a good try."

"But Ross, when did you become a monster too?"

Looking up at the ten-meter-tall man, Garp began doing warm-up gymnastics exercises on the spot.

"Humans can't even grow to ten meters tall, is it the power of that demonic sword?"

Ross remained silent, his face expressionless.

Unlike when facing Zephyr, only when fighting Garp in person can one understand the indescribable sense of oppression.

The opponent is stronger than Zephyr!

And it's incredibly strong!

With Karp in his early thirties and in his prime, Ross dared not hesitate at all.

"Devour, wild sun!"

The powerful shockwave surged upwards, enveloping its owner, who was over ten meters tall!

Garp, who witnessed this scene, was not in a hurry to launch an attack. According to the intelligence held by the Navy, the great pirate Ross had a variety of abilities.

This raid was both to prevent the Rocks Pirates from making a comeback and to find out just how many tricks that man still had up his sleeve.

The giant hand dispersed the shockwave, and when Ross reappeared, the serrated katana had transformed into a giant cleaver.

"Let's begin."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two adversaries charged at each other, accelerating from a standstill to their top speed in just 2 seconds.

In the third second, the two collided!

A powerful, cleaving fist clashed with a machete in mid-air!

'Don't fight him head-on, Rose!'

Lox's voice came from inside the workshop.

'Garp's physical talent is monstrous; his Armament Haki isn't something your sword can easily cut through!'

Everyone thought Garp's strongest ability was Armament Haki, but his strongest ability is...

Before he could finish speaking, Garp activated his Conqueror's Haki once more.

'Conqueror's Haki!!'

The stalemate instantly dissipated, and with a punch that sent the wild sun flying, Garp lunged forward.

The fist, wreathed in black and red lightning, was aimed straight at the target's heart.

"Sever the Void!"

Using the half-second delay provided by the powerful barrier, Ross quickly drew his second sword to defend.

"useless!"

The fist shattered the air and slammed into the blade of the flesh-crushing sword.

With a series of powerful thrusts from his right arm, Garp slammed the blade into Ross's massive body.

Fist Bone Strike!

"Fly away, pirates!"

Chapter 53 Unexpected Support

Several hours later--

"Ross..."

On the back of Whole Cake Island, on a pirate ship moored in the shadows, Olvia looked worried.

"Don't worry about the teacher."

Barrett's expression remained calm, but his hands, which were in his pockets, clenched and unclenched.

“The teacher won’t stop here, Olvia. You should trust the teacher.”

"Well, the kid is right."

Hana Hanacha, who was lying down to rest, yawned.

"At this stage, it's unlikely that Boss Ross can beat the Navy Hero, but he won't lose either. I feel that it will most likely end in a draw."

"Battles of their caliber are not easily decided; the weather, the land, comrades—everything can influence the final outcome."

"Just wait patiently, this battle might last for days and nights."

Before taking her last rest, Hana Hanacha closed her left eye and looked at the increasingly gloomy sky with her right eye, murmuring to herself.

"The Navy must have acted hastily this time, otherwise what awaits us would definitely not be three warships, but the Buster Call."

"The World Government may be reluctant to start a full-scale war with the pirate forces at this critical juncture for some reason."

"Once Charlotte Linlin and her Big Mom Pirates are destroyed, there is a very high chance that the great pirates of the New World will form an alliance."

"That's definitely an outcome that those in power don't want to see."

"They don't want to see united pirates; they want pirates to fight each other. That's what they should be doing."

"If this time..."

With her right eye closed, the sound of Hana Hanafuda grew softer and softer.

"If it weren't for Boss Ross, the Navy probably wouldn't have ventured to such distant New World waters... ZZzzz..."

……

The sun sets, the moon rises.

The moonlight disappeared, and the sun's rays once again enveloped the earth.

This process repeated itself.

Until the morning of the third day.

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, and the noises coming from inside Whole Cake Island were no longer as explosive as before.

"Boss Hanahana, a pirate ship is approaching!!"

"It's the Whitebeard Pirates! Edward Newgate is here!!!"

Hana Kazha looked solemn as he took the binoculars handed to him by his subordinate and looked behind his own ships.

After clearly seeing the Whitebeard Pirates' flag in his field of vision, he whispered:

"Impossible! How could the Whitebeard Pirates suddenly appear here?!"

Can I take a look?

Hana Hanafuda handed the telescope to Olvia.

"It really is Newgate and his team! Whew, reinforcements have arrived!"

Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~

Under the bewildered gazes of the Lizard Pirates, Olvia took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed a number.

Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~

Kacha--

"This is the Whitebeard Pirates. I'm Gram. Newgate is still sleeping. Who are you looking for?"

“It’s me, Gram.”

The Den Den Mushi blinked in confusion, then suddenly realized three seconds later:

"Oh! It's Miss Olvia! It's been a long time! What brings you to contact us all of a sudden?"

Olvia quickly recounted what had happened on Whole Cake Island.

"Cake Island? We're not here... Wait, how did we end up in this area?!"

"Marco, you little brat, get your ass over here!"

"Damn it, didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the direction? We're heading to another shipping route in the New World!"

After a series of loud noises, Gram's voice rang out again only when Marco's cries for mercy were heard.

“I’ll go wake Newgate right now; he’ll definitely be happy to help.”

Kacha--
