One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"Speaking of which, you might have to thank him. If Shiki hadn't happened to be in the Sabaody Archipelago during your battle in Totto Land, and if there hadn't been a Celestial Dragon on the island, that would have been a great victory."

"What awaits you may be an unprecedented siege by the three admirals of the Navy."

The three admirals of the Navy?

Ross grinned and said, "No way, Rayleigh, Garp will never become a Marine Admiral."

"Becoming an admiral means having to carry out escort missions for the Celestial Dragons. The World Government would never dare to let that guy carry out such missions, and Garp would not agree to escort missions either."

"If he really becomes an admiral, I have complete faith that Garp will lead the Celestial Dragons to pursue the Roger Pirates."

"Then find a reason to make Roger take the blame for the Celestial Dragons' deaths."

Rayleigh couldn't help but chuckle at the vision of the future Ross had described.

"That's definitely Garp's style, hahaha~~"

The journey passed quickly amidst casual conversation, and the tortoise-shaped car finally stopped in front of a newly renovated mermaid cafe.

Before getting out of the car, Rayleigh subconsciously glanced at Olvia, who was clinging tightly to Ross.

His mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed the words that were about to come out.

As soon as Ross pushed open the door and stepped inside, he heard Roger's smug laughter.

"Olvia, did you bring a video Den Den Mushi?"

Olvia was taken aback at first, then nodded: "I did bring it, but what do you need it for?"

Ross took the Den Den Mushi and walked expressionlessly to Roger, who was flanked by two women.

"Come on, look at the camera!"

Roger, who was enjoying being fed by the mermaid, subconsciously looked at the Den Den Mushi.

Click, click!

Roger raised his head nonchalantly, his expression arrogant.

Even if you take my picture, I will absolutely not buy you a drink!

Ross whistled and shrugged.

"You'd better not get married in the future, Roger, or I'll send these photos to your house."

Roger's smile froze, and he subtly withdrew his arms from Mermaid Xiang's shoulders.

He stood up, smiling, and went to greet them.

"Oh, I was just joking! Come on, the Roger Pirates are on the bill this time!"

Ross handed the Den Den Mushi back to Olvia and pointed towards the bar.

"You three can order whatever you want, the big boss Roger will pay."

Rayleigh shook his head helplessly. When he saw Ross take out the Den Den Mushi, he knew Roger's wallet was in for trouble.

"Ahem, mermaid ladies."

Rayleigh gestured politely to the side with his hand.

"We may have some private things to talk about."

The mermaids left with smiles on their faces.

The three of them sat down again in a corner of the coffee shop.

Roger's smile faded, and he lowered his voice: "You know why I'm waiting for you here, Ross."

"Shouldn't the payment be made?"

Ross leaned back against the sofa, resting his head on the upper edge of the sofa.

"What do you want to know? I'll give you three chances to ask. I'll tell you anything I know."

Roger opened his mouth to ask the question that had been bothering him, but Rayleigh covered his mouth.

"Calm down, Roger! Think about what we need!"

Roger patted Rayleigh's hand, which was covering his own, and after a moment's thought, asked his first question.

"I'd like to know the role of those historical texts about the Red Army that you mentioned."

"...to guide you to the final place where no one has ever been before."

The final place!

That name has appeared again!

Roger wanted to ask what the final destination was, but the thought that if he got the answer here, he would feel that the journey ahead would lose its original meaning.

Where are they?

Ross glanced at Roger: "Do you think I'm stupid? Didn't your Roger Pirates see the red Road Poneglyphs in the Sea Forest?"

Upon hearing this, Roger immediately scratched his head and pretended to be dumb.

"Oh, really? I wasn't paying much attention. Rayleigh, did you notice?"

Rayleigh coughed lightly and lowered his head: "I didn't notice either."

“Listen, Roger, I know the location of the historical inscriptions on three of the road signs, but you’ll have to trade the location of the fourth one for that.”

Ross smiled and took the glass of wine Olvia offered, taking a sip, but his brow furrowed slightly after tasting the "wine".

"Orange juice?"

Olvia stuck out her tongue a little shyly: "The wine here is too expensive."

Ross didn't pursue the matter further and sipped his drink.

Three pieces!?

Roger was breathing heavily, his upright posture leaning slightly forward, his burning gaze fixed on Ross's face.

"You've already collected all three Road Ptagon Historic Texts!?"

Ross put down his glass, a playful expression on his face.

“That’s right, three pieces. If you exchange them for the fourth historical text of the road sign that I haven’t found, I can tell you the location of all three pieces.”

"make a deal!!"

Fearing Ross might change his mind, Roger slammed his fist on the table, like an auctioneer finalizing the deal.

"The third question, let me think about it..."

After a moment's thought, Roger felt a figure flash through his mind.

"My third question is about the monster that appeared in God Valley two years ago. I need information about him!"

Chapter 59 Bucky Appears!

Intelligence on Im?

Ross assumed Roger would continue asking questions about the Poneglyphs.

He was prepared to deceive the other party, but he never expected that Roger was actually concerned about God Valley.

"That monster that's possessing the Five Elders, he's definitely no ordinary person!"

"Those five people, as the highest leaders of the world government, are definitely not ordinary people who can control them."

"Ross, you must know, right? Information about that monster!"

Under Roger's increasingly intense gaze, Ross's previously relaxed brows furrowed again.

"Roger, that secret is one that must never be revealed."

"Your Roger Pirates are a pirate crew that prioritizes adventure; there's no need for you to venture into the abyss."

"No, I must know this!"

Roger, with a solemn expression, stated his analysis:

"I believe I can lead the Roger Pirates to the final place you mentioned, but after that, I will definitely clash with that monster."

"I must prepare for that day in advance."

'Hahaha~~'

Rocks's gloating voice echoed from the Zanpakuto workshop.

'Ross, secrets always tempt people to fall.'

Ross sighed softly, admitting that Lockes was right.

Curiosity is one of the tickets to hell.

“Nerona Imsa, a member of the Nerona family eight hundred years ago, and one of the twenty kings who created the world.”

"and many more."

Rayleigh frowned and interrupted, "You said eight hundred years ago? You mean that monster lived for eight hundred years?"

Hana Hanazha, sitting on the edge of the sofa, put down his wine glass. He felt that the information that Boss Ross was about to reveal would shatter the worldview he had previously established.

"That's right, it's hard to say exactly why right now."

Ross also couldn't figure out how Im achieved immortality.

The immortality surgery of the Ope Ope no Mi, the alien technology of the Lunarians, or a combination of both.

In the comics, the opponent's body is very similar to that of the Lunaria, but his size is closer to that of the Giants.

And then there are those two horns, symbolizing the bloodline of the ancient giants…

He had a feeling of seeing a zombie being stitched together.

By combining the strengths of all races, we can create the strongest body.

Ross lowered his head in thought. When he first saw Im appear in the comics, he had the illusion that Im operated in the same way as Vegapunk.

They store their souls separately, and then briefly descend to the lower realm using a specially created body.

Just like Lilith, after Vegapunk's death, arrived in Elbaf with Vegapunk's memories, intending to "revive" the already dead Vegapunk in that place.

However, compared to Vegapunk's maneuvers, Im, who has lived for eight hundred years, clearly has more sophisticated maneuvers.

Furthermore, it is highly likely that Im obtained all of the Lunarian technology back then.

Ross had every reason to believe that Im might be able to store a soul in a special container.

In this way, the number of bodies that the other party can control increases from one to several.

A slender figure amidst the flowers, a salamander-like shadow transformed from the Void Throne, a monster bowing down to the Five Elders, and the "True Im" appearing in Elbaf.

Maybe the other party is actually just a lump of brains soaking in nutrient solution?

"The race of former gods was called Lunaria. A thousand years ago, they descended from outer space into the sea and used technology far ahead of their time to create things that should not have existed in that era."

"Roger, all the technology you see now is just scientists trying to recreate technology from a thousand years ago."

Roger frowned, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

If Ross wasn't lying, he understood why the enemy wasn't in a hurry to end the era of rampant piracy.

For a monster who has lived for eight hundred years, he must have experienced pirates who were far more vicious and powerful than those he is now.

To those who are immortal, our journey may be nothing more than fleeting clouds.

“Nerona Im is the one who truly controls the world. He is the master of the Five Elders and the target that the Knights of God need to protect.”

"The God Valley Phantom you mentioned earlier is actually a false body that he descended to through a contract."

"The power of immortality, what is that power that makes you unable to die?" Rayleigh asked.

That's the fourth question.

Rose's serious expression vanished, replaced by a smile.

"I only agreed to answer three questions, and that's only because of our friendship."

"Hello..."

After Ross said that, Roger lost his composure, his face turning ashen as he grabbed Ross's collar.
