One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

Olvia murmured a few words, then turned over, curled up, and continued to sleep soundly.

Goodnight, Olvia.

……

Meanwhile, at the party that had already ended, Dragon returned to the spot where he had been chatting with Ross.

Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~

The Den Den Mushi rang with a soft blue tone, and the first rays of red light fell across the sky.

Kacha--

The Den Den Mushi rubbed its eyes and yawned.

"Which idiot disturbed my sleep?"

"Dad, it's me."

The Den Den Mushi blinked, regaining its senses in an instant, and poked its tentacles into its nostrils to dig.

"What, you want to come back to the Navy?"

"No, Dad, today..."

Dorrag spoke in a low voice about what had happened that day.

"When Ross and his crew were saving Water Seven, I saw the Navy fleeing in panic."

"Those people even went so far as to impersonate others afterward, claiming that the tsunami was prevented thanks to the navy."

"Ross is unwilling to come forward and clarify; he doesn't seem to care what people think of him."

The Den Den Mushi remained silent for a long time.

"Stopping the ocean, huh? This is really something...tsk, I should have just let that guy go back then."

"Dad, I will stay by that man's side and continue my studies."

Dragon lowered his head and met the gaze of the Den Den Mushi, his tone firm.

"I will not go back to the Navy, not now, and not in the future."

"Dad,"

"Justice may not have been the exclusive domain of the Navy from the very beginning."

"The navy has its justice, pirates have their justice, and nobles have their justice."

"True justice never changes because of one's stance."

"...Whatever you want, it's your life to decide."

The Den Den Mushi flicked away the booger on its hand and grinned:

"Live the life you want, Dragon. Don't feel guilty or have any illusions about the Navy because of me."

“I am me, the Warring States period is the Warring States period, emptiness is emptiness, we all have our own lives.”

"My reason for refusing promotion to general is that I do not want my justice to be tainted by darkness."

"However, Dragon."

"If you're still as weak as before when we meet again at sea, don't blame me for bringing you back to headquarters and starting you up as a lowly soldier."

Dorrag remained silent.

"I'm going to sleep now. I have to skip work again tomorrow. That's all."

Crack!

The Den Den Mushi ended, and Dragon breathed a sigh of relief, gazing at the sunrise.

"My life..."

Chapter 78 The Current Empress of the Nine Serpents—Toritoma

The next day at noon, at Dock No. 1.

"Sorry, Ross, the ship issue may have to wait a while longer."

Tom cleaned up the mess left by yesterday's tsunami.

"There is a two-masted ship in the dock that can barely sail. I can lend it to you if you need it."

"I am...?"

Just as Ross was about to exchange a few polite words, he suddenly heard a commotion and commotion outside.

"Has something happened outside?"

Ross opened the window and looked out at the increasingly noisy harbor.

"What are they looking at together? Have the Celestial Dragons come again?"

"Why do those bastards always keep chasing after me..."

Thanks to that Celestial Dragon in the Sabaody Archipelago, his bounty has now risen to 40 billion Berries.

[Ross, Bounty: 4,444,440,000 Berrys, Death or No Risk]

Ross didn't know if the person who set the bounty was mentally unstable, or if that idiot had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The number 4 in the column gave him a headache.

"Shakky, Shakky, look at me! Aww~ She's looking at me, she's looking at me!!"

"Bullshit, she was clearly looking at me!"

"it's me!"

"It's me!!"

Watching the shipyard workers fighting in front of him, Ross shook his head and was about to close the window.

"Oh, I've finally found you, Ross. It's been so long!"

That sound...

Ross reopened the half-closed window, looking surprised.

"Shakky? What are you doing here? Didn't Rayleigh tell me to go to the Amazon to pick you up?"

“That place is so boring. Gloria keeps urging me to become emperor again.”

Shaki went into Tom's room.

"Lady Shakky, is this Water Seven?"

Ross looked behind Shakky and saw a beautiful girl with shoulder-length black hair walk into the room, her big eyes full of curiosity.

As her head swayed, the gold snake-shaped earrings hanging from her earlobes swayed in sync.

"She is Toritoma, the next, no, the current emperor of the Amazons."

Xia Qi patted the shoulder of the little fangirl next to her with a grin.

"She was curious if you were as legendary as having three heads and six arms, so I secretly took her away."

secretly?

"Hey, wait a minute."

Ross's lips twitched, and he glanced at Shakky with narrowed eyes.

"What do you mean by 'secretly'? You don't actually think you can hide from Gloriosa's Observation Haki, do you?"

"Hide it? Why should we care about that old woman?"

Xia Qi exhaled smoke, raised her head, and looked disdainful.

"When did I ever need to report to her about what I did?"

"Toritoma, this is Ross. You might be disappointed, but he's just an ordinary-looking guy."

Toritoma walked up to Ross and greeted him politely.

"Hello, I am Toritoma, the Empress of the Amazons, but that imperial position was given to me by Lady Shakky because she didn't want it."

"With my abilities, I am far from being able to become emperor."

Ross turned his head away. He wasn't looking at the girl's snow-capped peaks intentionally; it was just that she was wearing a deep V-neck shirt, and with his 3-meter height, he could see almost everything if he looked down.

"Hello, I'm the unremarkable Ross that Shakky mentioned."

"Please give me your autograph! I saw it, it happened yesterday!"

Ross was surprised to see the girl suddenly become a fan, and glanced at Shakky as if seeking an answer.

"That's just how Toritoma is, don't mind her."

Ross took the pen and wrote his name in English on the cover of the notebook that Toritoma handed him.

"These two knives... wait, how did they become three?"

Tori Tomma tucked the notebook inside her V-neck shirt and reached her hand toward Ross's waist.

"Can I touch it? I've always been curious about your sword; everyone says it's a demon sword."

"No way!"

Just then, Olvia's voice rapidly approached.

He stood in front of Ross, his expression wary as he looked at Tori Tomoma's chest...

Damn it, he's older than her!

"You better stay away from my Ross!"

"Oh, sorry, I'm a fan of Rose. I just wanted to see his sword."

Looking at Toritoma's innocent expression, Olvia narrowed her eyes.

Beware, this woman is extremely dangerous!

Feeling a sense of crisis, Olvia clung tightly to Ross's arm, as if asserting her dominance.

"What do you need Rose for? If it's an autograph, I can have him sign it for you."

Shakky ignored the two who were completely on different wavelengths and waved to Ross.

"Let's go, Ross. Let's go to Water Seven and get something to eat. I haven't had a drop of water since last night."

……

"I see, I see!"

In the cleaned-up commercial district of Water Seven, Ross sat at an ice cream stand with a helpless expression.

Not long ago, Olvia was guarding against thieves, but now she and Toritoma were huddled together, whispering to each other.

Judging from Olvia's flushed face, they were probably talking about some private topics that only close girlfriends would discuss.

"It hasn't been that long since we last met, and you already have a little devil."

Shakky took a bite of ice cream and puffed on her cigarette, her eyes occasionally glancing at Bucky picking out scoops of ice cream.

“He was a child Roger found and gave to me when we met a while ago.”

Ross explained Bucky's origins in one sentence, and then talked about the follow-up arrangements.

"I might have to travel back to the Sky Island to find a Devil Fruit."

"Devil Fruit? Teacher, didn't you say before that the three types of Haki and physical training were the most important?"

Just then, Barrett returned with Bucky.

"That fruit is different. I'll tell you why once I get my hands on it."

If circumstances allow, he'll let Barrett eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; as for Buggy...

This kid's physical talent isn't that great, and he's timid and lazy, so he can only become stronger by finding another way.

Ross already has a preliminary idea for the Devil Fruit that belongs to Buggy, but that Paramecia-type fruit is a bit hard to find.
