One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

He's a fishman; tsunamis pose no threat to fishmen.

"Hmm? That figure is..."

In the sea, Tom, who was about to dive deep, stopped and looked at the figure flying across the sky, or more precisely, the scabbard at the masked man's waist.

"That scabbard... I remember Ross's scabbard looked something like that... Wait a minute!!"

"What is that guy planning to do!?"

Just as Tom changed direction, preparing to rescue Ross.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura!"

In an instant, the sky above the entire No. 1 dock was filled with pink cherry blossoms!

Tom stopped and stared blankly at the sky that was changing color.

"What's this……"

Chapter 76 Humans VS Water God

The cherry blossom shattered blades, activated by the Thousand Blades, flew quietly in the sky above Dock No. 1.

Ross stood atop a protruding reef near the sea, holding a knife with a bare hilt.

In the current situation, the effect of Wild Sun is not as good as the wide-range attack of Thousand Cherry Blossoms. Its target is the water gods, not humans.

A slash from the wild sun might be able to cut through a 100-meter-long tsunami, but it could never stop the target from moving forward.

Why would you do something like this? You're a pirate!!!

Rocks's furious roar echoed from the Zanpakuto workshop.

"Because I am a pirate, Rocks, no one can restrict the freedom of a pirate, not even the sea."

As Ross watched the waves draw ever closer at the edge of his vision, the last trace of fear in his eyes vanished completely.

No one dares to say they are not afraid when facing nature.

Fear is one thing, but if one does nothing because of fear, then he is not a man.

"Pirates are free. Don't define my pirate life for myself, Rocks!"

Ross unleashed his Conqueror's Haki with a roar, and the light in his eyes grew ever brighter.

"I'm just going to do what I want to do. If pirates can't take risks according to their own wishes, then they're not pirates!"

You can't help everyone!

"So I'm helping those I can."

'Those brats will die one day, at the hands of pirates, at the hands of the Celestial Dragons, in the waves of the sea!'

"That's a matter for the future, I can't control that. All I can control is the present, at least I can't watch them die in front of me."

'...'

“Lox, I’m just doing what I think is right.”

The swirling tide of cherry blossoms in the sky began to accelerate, with specks of dark gray swirling around the tips of the petals.

“This is the difference in our beliefs, Lockes.”

"Your life is nothing but revenge, plunder, and destruction, while I choose to protect and liberate."

"I would protect my family and friends, even if it meant becoming a murderer."

"If what I do can make them feel happy and joyful, then it is worthwhile."

"Who says pirates can only kill and burn? I am Rocks, a free and high-ranking pirate."

Rose's lips curled up, his expression cheerful:

"I can't reason with a low-level pirate like you. If you're going to make a big deal out of freedom, then what kind of freedom is that!"

"Rose! Rose!! Are you crazy?!"

Tom's voice came from beneath the rocks.

"Hurry and seek refuge! You are human, and humans cannot defeat the sea!"

"Mr. Tom, what will happen to the Seven Waters if I leave?"

Tom remained silent.

How could he not know this? But can natural disasters be stopped by human power?

"I heard the terrified cries of the little devil, the heartbroken cries of the mother, and the vows of lovers that last until death."

Ross's gaze as he looked out over the sea grew increasingly resolute.

"Failure is the mother of success, or perhaps its grandmother. Even if I can't defeat the water gods this time, I will still challenge them next time we meet."

"My spear will be even sharper then, and my warhorse will be completely revamped."

Ross raised the bare hilt of his sword, and in the instant his domineering aura was fully gathered, his eyes shone with an unprecedented determination.

“I will never back down here. I can be defeated, but I will never lose my fighting spirit because of fear.”

The arm swung down!

The petals in the sky combined to form more than a dozen giant dragons, howling as they crashed down on the first wave of attacks launched by the water gods.

"How could a man remain unmoved by those things!"

The tsunami was dispersed by the "pink dragon," and the sea suddenly fell silent.

The next moment, dark clouds inexplicably pressed down on the sea, and an increasingly heavy pressure descended.

Ross's clothes were soaked through, it was hard to tell whether it was from sweat or rain.

"The second cut..."

The hilt of the sword makes a horizontal slash from a distance.

The cherry blossom fragments hidden in the seawater merged into a giant blade, which, under its master's control, sliced ​​through the nascent waves.

Then it split into countless smaller waves, encircling and suppressing the remaining smaller waves.

The third cut, the fourth cut...

Inside the Zanpakuto workshop, Rocks watched Ross slash his sword into the sea again and again, without uttering a word.

He didn't know what to say, or what he should say, so he could only watch in silence as the man and the sea fought for a long time.

As a pirate, why would he challenge the sea just to save some kids?

This was the first time he had ever seen such a stupid guy!

If the water gods could be stopped by human intervention, they would not be the persistent problem plaguing Water City.

Rocks heard it, he heard the sea's fury, the true, hidden waves of rage were about to rise.

Half an hour later, the Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.

Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~

Ross took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

"Boss Ross, how's it going on your end?! Nashizuki just suddenly left; he must have gone to pick you up!"

Before Ross could speak, the Den Den Mushi called out anxiously:

"The crowds in the area facing the Water Gods have been mostly dispersed. There's no need to worry about the area behind them; they'll have time."

"Really? That's good. I've reached the final round too."

Looking at the waves in the distance, which were over 500 meters high and still rising and gathering strength, Ross hung up the phone immediately.

He raised his left hand to catch the streak of light that shot from the distant horizon.

Meatballs, return.

The cherry blossoms returned to the blade, and Ross sheathed his sword.

The ever-growing waves were beyond what Senbonzakura could withstand.

Tranquil, magnificent, dazzling, and elegant – this is the true style that Senbonzakura should possess.

However, under the current circumstances, the hacking and slashing of the wild sunflower is far less effective than the large-scale offensive of the Thousand Cherry Blossoms.

With the help of countless shattered blades, he can divide the tsunami, turning the large into the small and the small into nothing, and then use the advantage of the Thousand Cherry Blossoms to carry out the final strangulation.

If the enemy's size and thickness exceed a certain limit, the chances of him defeating the Water Gods with the newly acquired Senbonzakura and his current, not yet peak, domineering aura are extremely slim.

Unless he's currently holding a Zanpakuto like Hyōrinmaru or Ryūjin Jakka.

The former freezes the sea, the latter evaporates the sea.

Rose took a deep breath; he knew he had to make that final move.

puff--!!

Tom's expression changed drastically when he saw Ross above him, who had cut open his own neck.

But before he could scream, he suddenly heard an even more frantic heartbeat in his ears!

"Why... why has the sea turned red?"

In a daze, the sea in Tom's eyes turned into a blood-red ocean. He rubbed his eyes and opened them again, and they returned to normal.

On the reef, Ross was covered in blood, his eyes now filled with a hollowness devoid of emotion and desire.

"I can see it now, the point where the knife was applied."

Blood was still gushing from the wound on his neck, and Ross's body was visibly swelling.

The surging energy surged upwards, and when the shockwave dissipated, all of Ross's wounds disappeared.

He gripped a massive cleaver tightly in his right hand, hoisting it onto his shoulder, while his left hand held the cleaver diagonally towards the sea.

Bang--!!

The reef was crushed by an immense force!

A figure crackling with lightning tore through the waves, dragging its luminous tail as it hurtled towards the tsunami that was still gathering power.

"The landing point is here."

In the center of a massive wave nearly 700 meters high, a 20-meter-tall dwarf spews out large amounts of hot air.

The wild sun is chopped down, and the fleshy beast is slashed horizontally!

A cross-shaped slash, imbued with both colors of domineering aura and all of his essence and spirit, burst forth from the blade!

"Cross - Sever!"

Meanwhile, at the highest point of Water City, a temporary shelter.

"Strange, how did I suddenly end up in a shelter?"

"It looks like a group of people maintaining order, but they are wearing masks, so we can't see what they look like."

"It must be the Navy, only the righteous Navy would maintain order!"
