One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"Ross, why can't the record pointer record the magnetic field of this island?"

"Because some people don't want this island to be in the public eye."

Ross unleashed his Observation Haki, enough to cover half the island, and after confirming that there were no noteworthy powerful auras on the island, he chose a direction and strode forward.

We chatted occasionally along the way.

Walk past towering ancient trees hundreds of meters high and across crystal-clear streams.

Half a day later in the afternoon, Ross and his party stopped at the entrance of a well-concealed cave.

"This should be it."

As his tongue glided across his lower lip, a flicker of anticipation flashed in Ross's eyes.

It's only the year 1486 of the Sea Calendar. The God of Fortune's charity organization, MADS, hasn't even been established yet, let alone the future Punk Forbidden Zone.

The undeveloped Punk Hazard Island remains in its original state.

Tearing apart the vines blocking the cave entrance, Hana Hanaza, who was walking in front, took the torch from her waist and lit it.

Call ~

The blazing flames dispelled the darkness.

Barrett followed Hana Hanafuda ahead, her small face tense, her wary eyes occasionally sweeping over the top of the rock wall where only bats lived.

Olvia clung to her husband's arm, her expression a mixture of anticipation and fear.

The unknown is always full of both allure and fear.

After traveling for an unknown amount of time, a sudden exclamation came from ahead: "Hana Hanafuda!"

"Oh my god!! What's with all this ice?!"

Ross patted Olvia's hand and quickened his pace.

Before long, the two saw something that made Hanafza exclaim in surprise.

A colossal iceberg that has sealed away countless ferocious giants!

"giant……"

Olvia instinctively let go of the ice, walked closer, and placed her palm on the surface of the ice, her expression becoming increasingly terrified.

"Frozen in ice!?"

Inside the Zanpakuto workshop, Rocks stood at the door, looking dazed.

'impossible!!'

'These giants, their clothes, hey Ross, how do you know the Great Hammer Chapter is frozen on this island!?'

Ross glanced at the Zanpakuto workshop, but did not answer Rocks' question. He simply raised his index finger to his lips.

After signaling for Lockes to be quiet, he approached the ice block.

Do you know about Pluto, one of the three ancient weapons?

Locke quickly shut his mouth and sat cross-legged on the workshop doorway to listen quietly.

"Are these giants related to ancient weapons?" Olvia took out her notebook, ready to take notes at any time.

"Eight hundred years ago, there was a blank period in history, a hundred years."

Ross's voice echoed in the cave.

"Many things happened in those hundred years: a great war that shaped the course of the oceans, the establishment of the World Government, the fall of a great kingdom..."

"The giant inside this ice block is the Great Hammer Warband that I have been searching for for a long time. They were very likely active during those hundred years."

"They may be the builders of the ancient weapons Hades and Noah."

Ross desperately searched his memory for anything related to the Great Hammer Chapter.

His voice grew softer and softer, eventually even sounding somewhat ethereal.

Eight hundred years ago, no, perhaps nine hundred or even a thousand years ago, giants with the blood of the ancient giant race formed the Great Hammer Warband and set sail on an adventure.

Initially, their goal was simply to learn the shipbuilding methods of the entire race and then become the foremost giant shipwrights.

During their long and adventurous journey of learning, they learned how to build ships from humans, fishmen, and various other races.

The Great Hammer Chapter began to rise to prominence.

Under Joy Boy's command, they first headed to Fishman Island.

To fulfill the promise between Joy Boy and the first Mermaid Queen, Noah was built to carry the mission of relocating the residents of Mermaid Island to the mainland.

After Noah finished, they returned to Paradise and created the ancient weapon Hades in Water Seven.

It was the birth of Hades that brought them to the attention of Im, who was not yet the King of the World at the time.

Until Joy Boy's failure, the ideal kingdom disappeared.

Im, who has become the King of the World, attempts to capture the Great Hammer Chapter and make them work for him.

But during one of their long expeditions, they were captured.

"At that time, for the sake of the future, the Giant King chose to use the power of the Iron Thunder to freeze the Great Hammer Chapter. Only in this way could they save their lives."

"Only in this way can we preserve this hope for an unknown future."

Standing in front of the ice block, Ross looked up at the lifelike ancient giants encased within it.

"The Great Hammer Chapter is an ancient chapter that carries an important mission, and the power of Ratatosk will bring them back to life."

"Spanning eight hundred years, it returns to the sea, bringing despair and shock to the king of rats."

Olvia wrote furiously, her expression excited, occasionally muttering things like "So that's how it is" and "It's very important history."

"Boss, are you planning to resurrect them?"

Hana Hanafuda gazed at the man's retreating figure and suddenly asked:

"Even if you do manage to revive this Great Hammer Chapter, what if they don't obey?"

“It’s better to have no ally than to have one who doesn’t listen to you; they’ll only cause more trouble.”

"So now is not the time."

Ross turned to look at the lizardman, his eyes crinkling with a smile and his expression gentle.

“I came here only to personally verify their authenticity, and the key to resurrecting them is elsewhere.”

"Elbaf, that place is not a place that ordinary humans can go."

"Even if we arrive, we still can't revive them if we can't gain Tie Lei's approval."

"There's still plenty of time, just wait patiently."

After taking one last look at the frozen Great Hammer Warband, Ross strode away.

"Let's go. We'll leave this island to the King of Rats for now. He'll protect this place for us."

……

Night falls, at the stern of the Lizard.

Ross leaned alone against the railing, the near-full moon reflected in his wine glass.

"The Devil Fruit you're looking for isn't entirely Nighold's, right?"

Zanpakuto Workshop emerged from its hidden state, while Rocks remained seated in the doorway, his expression complex.

"The Iron Thunder, which has been passed down for eight hundred years, and the Devil Fruit that the hammer ate were also part of your plan."

"In your best plan, Harald would devour Nighogd, join the Rocks Pirates, and then use Ratatoskr's power to revive the Great Hammer Band."

"Now you have the greatest power and the best shipwright on the sea."

"Even if you can't find the three ancient weapons, you can still use the treasures of Beehive Island to recreate your own ancient weapons."

"But, unfortunately, Harald isn't quite right in the head. Not only did he refuse your invitation, he also plans to throw a pile of shit in your face."

'...'

Rox didn't know what to say; everything that had happened a few hours earlier had overturned his entire understanding of Ross.

He initially thought the other party was lying when they said they knew the whereabouts of the Great Hammer Group.

I never imagined that Ross knew more than I did combined.

“Joy Boy wanted to create a utopian dreamland of equality and freedom.”

"Im wants to create an eternal world in exchange for absolute order by sacrificing freedom."

“David D. Jones, although I don’t know what your ancestors wanted, I guess their goals were similar to Im’s.”

"after all……"

As Ross swallowed the moon from his cup, he raised his head, his deep brown pupils filled with the gentle moonlight.

"Weren't they strategic allies back then?"

Chapter 58 Reencounter with the Roger Pirates

June of early summer in the year 1486 of the Haiyuan calendar.

For the fish-people living in the ocean, summer is not much different from the other three seasons.

The fishman who led the way swam ashore first, then turned around and directed the boats to dock.

"Oh, you've finally arrived."

On the shore, Rayleigh, who was taking small sips of his drink, put away his wine jug.

"Ross, it's been a long time."

Ross, who was the first to disembark, stepped forward and bumped fists with Rayleigh in greeting.

"It's been a while. What are you doing on Fishman Island?"

Roger heard about your travel plans and intends to wait for you here for a while.

Rayleigh glanced at the woman, the child, and the pirates following behind Ross.

"You're having a good time, traveling with a brat and a woman. What are you going to do if you run into that bastard Shiki?"

"Shiki doesn't dare to face me head-on now; he's lost all belief in his ability to win."

Ross ignored the matter of the pirate ship's garrison, walked into the island side by side with Rayleigh, got into the tortoise-shaped carriage, and headed towards Coral Hill, the most prosperous port town in Ryugu Castle.

Recalling the torment he had inflicted on Shiki, Ross revealed a sly smile.

Kenpachi Zaraki's mark has reached 80% of the Diamond stage, and the resulting boost is enough for him to sustain all his current battles.

Even if all the undead monsters of the Knights of God descended, he would still have a fighting chance.

We can probably run over those speed bumps and then calmly make our way out.

As for killing...

When Ross traveled through time, the original comics did not depict the events that followed.

The method for killing those monsters is still under discussion.

If he can find a way to kill the slowdown zone of the God Group, it means he can kill Im.

The two are symbiotic and are essentially equivalent.

If a solution to the power of immortality cannot be found soon, Ross does not intend to alert the enemy.

If all else fails, he can wait until he finds Ryujin Jakka and then stand in the middle of Mary Geoise to unleash his Bankai.

Let's witness the true descent of the sun god.

In that time, all the Celestial Dragons will turn into dried salted fish.

"Shiki~"

Seemingly recalling some important information, Rayleigh shook his head.

"That lawless fellow caused quite a bit of trouble in Paradise. He attacked many member states of the World Government, robbed their treasuries, and killed their kings."
