One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"If things aren't going well in the amusement park, Mr. Tom, how about we try out Miracle Island first?"

Tom's eyes instantly turned into sparkling stars.

"I will provide all the necessary supplies, and if it's not enough, I will 'borrow' some from the Celestial Dragons."

“I can also hire craftsmen who can smelt seastone. If that’s not enough, I can hire craftsmen from the giant race.”

“Harald and I are business partners. He is worried about the income of his people, so he will definitely not refuse such a good thing.”

"I admire and acknowledge Mr. Tom's talent, and I believe that with sufficient material support, Mr. Tom's abilities will certainly be able to complete the construction of the sea train."

Seeing Tom's increasingly eager and lustful expression, Ross's lips curled up slightly.

“If the Sea Train runs smoothly, I can give Mr. Tom an additional share.”

Ross explained the meaning of shares and dividends to Tom, who looked confused.

"If Mr. Tom wants to build the same train in Water Seven in the future, I, as a partner, will give my full support."

"7% off materials and hiring fees, and as for security, I'd be willing to lend my name to Water Seven."

"In short, if Mr. Tom is willing to come, the whole island of Miracles will welcome him with open arms."

goo~

Tom swallowed hard; Ross's offer was simply too tempting...

If we can practice first, we'll definitely be able to build an even better sea train when we return to Water Seven to build it later!

And you can even get a discount on material costs!

hiss!

Tom became more and more excited as he thought about it, and could even "hear" the roar of the train's whistle.

“But, Mr. Ross.”

Barely suppressing his excitement, Tom pointed to himself.

“I am not the best shipwright. With your idea, any other shipwright could have made it. Why did you come to Water Seven to invite me?”

"The best shipwrights always have the heart of an apprentice."

Ross's expression suddenly turned serious.

“I see the apprentice’s heart in Mr. Tom’s heart. Only a craftsman like you can design a perfect sea train.”

“Mr. Tom, in the future, people may forget Ross, but they will certainly remember Tom, the founder of the Sea Train.”

Tom was a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Ross, I need to think about this for a few days. After all, this is a major event concerning the future of Water Seven."

Ross expressed his understanding: "We will be staying in Water Seven for a while, Mr. Tom, and I hope you will seriously consider my invitation."

"This involves not only Water Seven, but also the entire Grand Line and even the four seas."

"Once this technology matures..."

Ross didn't finish his sentence. He stood up, said goodbye to Tom, and walked outside.

Once the man's figure had completely disappeared from Dock 1, Tom finally collapsed, exhausted and panting heavily.

“Roger, you were right. That man is like a devil who tempts people to fall. People can never refuse the conditions he proposes.”

There was no coercion or threat, only a sincere invitation that humbled myself.

Tom didn't know how many people could do that, but Ross, a famous figure in the ocean, did.

His sincerity alone gave him little reason to refuse.

Not to mention the conditions proposed by the other party.

If he agrees, all he needs to do next is finalize the blueprints, design the first-generation sea train and sea rails, and then quickly optimize them until the most perfect sea train is completed.

"Sigh, looks like I'll have to move my old place."

Tom stared blankly at the draft paper on the table, on which a few routes and a simple line drawing of a train engine were hastily drawn.

"I must build the Sea Train to save Water Seven. I will not let this island..."

"Disappeared into history!"

"Just you wait, water gods, I, Tom, will definitely return!"

Chapter 73 Unexpected Visitor, Dragon: Ross, you are my destiny!

"Ross, Ross, we're here!!"

Ross looked at the silver-haired girl waving in the middle of the street, and a smile automatically appeared on his face.

Looking at Olvia in the sunlight, and at her bright smile that was as radiant as the sun, he didn't know how to describe the beautiful scene.

Three meals a day, four seasons, beautiful women and pets... cough.

Rose ripped apart the absurd idea in his mind and strode away.

"Teacher, you're really slow! We've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Barrett grumbled, his hands behind his head.

After spending a long time together, the boy finally regained some of the sunny and cheerful personality that is typical of young people.

At least that's how it is in front of him and Olvia.

"Dad, this juicy pork is so delicious!"

Bucky hugged Ross's leg and tried to lift the half-eaten meat in his hand.

"This is for you, it's really delicious!"

Ross bent down and picked up Bucky, took a small bite, and then shook his head with a smile.

"I just ate some cookies at Mr. Tom's, Bucky, you have to finish the rest."

Bucky nodded emphatically and launched a tearing attack on the remaining watery flesh.

"Let's go explore this place properly!"

Olvia clung to her husband's arm, her face full of curiosity about Water Seven.

"I heard there's a mask carnival tomorrow. We're really lucky."

Stopping in front of the mask stall, Ross understood Olvia's personality.

“Go buy four masks, Olvia. We’ll be staying on this island for a while.”

Is it really possible?

Olvia looked up at the man, her eyes sparkling.

After seeing Ross nod, he cheered and then ran with Bucky and Barrett to the stall to choose masks.

"This bull warrior one is fantastic, Barrett. Do you want this one?"

Barrett turned his head and gave a soft hum:

"There's really no other way. Since Olvia wants to participate, I'll just go with you to that Mask Carnival."

"Yes, yes, thank you very much for your support, Barrett~"

Olvia picked up her own, Bucky's, and Barrett's masks and handed them to the boss, but then hesitated over Ross's mask.

"Miss, how is this mask?"

The stall owner, wearing a sheep's head mask, mysteriously went to the back of the stall and took out a finely wrapped cloth bag.

"This is the best mask I have here. You must be choosing one for that gentleman, right?"

"Hmm, his aura is indeed very attractive. If he wears this mask, it will definitely be perfect!"

The shop owner's words attracted Ross's attention.

"This is……"

Ross looked surprised as he saw the two-tone mask in the shop owner's hand.

The mask has a purple wolf face on the left and a white sheep face on the right.

At the boundary between the two, there are two incomplete crescent moons. The crescent moons are intertwined and intertwined. If you do not look closely, you may mistake them for a sun with a special color.

"It's the Grim Reaper from legends who guides the souls of the dead to the underworld; that's what his face looks like!"

Seemingly to enhance the eerie atmosphere, the shop owner took out a flashlight from somewhere and placed it under his chin.

The sudden burst of light cast many shadows.

Looking at the familiar mask in his hand, a hint of reminiscence flashed in Ross's eyes.

This mask looks exactly like the character in an online game he played before his transmigration: a cruel wolf spirit tearing apart and devouring cowards who try to escape death, and a benevolent sheep spirit sending the righteous to eternal slumber.

"That's it!"

Olvia noticed Ross's interest, took out her wallet, and paid with 4 Berries.

"Thank you for your patronage, and I hope you all have a great time at the Mask Carnival!"

Olvia put on her mask and walked ahead with great enthusiasm.

"Let's go, let's go to the next place we visit!"

……

That night---

In the heart of Water Seven, on the top floor of a hotel called Lemon.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work these past few days, Little Bear."

"Hehehe~~ No, that's not true. I just did some small things that I could do."

The Den Den Mushi, sporting an afro and bear ear headband, looked shy.

"Uncle Ross, when are you planning to come back?"

Ross estimated: "The earliest it could be is early next year. We'll try our best to get back for the New Year."

He was helpless due to the delay.

A few hours earlier, in the evening, Hana Hanazha made a call.

They said the purchase of the boat might be delayed for a while, as Water Seven currently does not have any qualified new boats.

The Lizard, due to its violent voyage, is now lying on the wrecked island awaiting scrapping.

"Oh, okay~ I'll talk to Ginny and the others. We can start the New Year's celebration when you guys get back~"

After chatting with the bear for a while, Ross hung up the Den Den Mushi in a sudden gust of wind.

"What a surprise! Why would a future admiral of the Navy come to see me?"

"Perhaps I can phrase it differently..."

Ross changed from facing the railing to having his back to it, and looked at the young man crouching on top of the water tower.

"Monkey D. Dragon, how did the Navy find out I was here?"

"CP agents in Water Seven."

Dragon leaped down the water tower, walked to Ross's side, and gazed at the moonlight over Water Seven.

“My father sent me to find you. He said that since I have nowhere to go, I might as well go to Miracle Island and find something to do.”

Ross was stunned.

and many more!

He felt something was off about this development!

Are secret agents just like supermarket cashiers, doing a normal job?!

"that……"

Ross didn't know what kind of expression to make. The father and son's thought processes were always so peculiar. No, it should be said that the thought processes of the three generations of the grandfather and grandson were all peculiar.
