One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"Let's give it to Buggy first. He's too weak. If he doesn't eat a Devil Fruit, he won't be able to escape from enemies."

Ross didn't explain much; giving the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to Buggy would be a complete waste.

"Are you going to the Sky Island? I just heard from Olvia that you don't have a boat, right?"

Toritoma patted her chest and flashed a sunny smile.

"When Lady Shakky and I sneaked out, we brought snakes and a boat with us. If you don't mind, how about I take you to that sky island?"

Ross looked hesitant.

He always felt that this woman had ill intentions. Could she be using the guise of being a fan to plot against him and take advantage of him?

"Then it's decided, Ross, we'll go on their ship!"

Olvia excitedly dragged Toritoma along, ostensibly to take a stroll through Water Seven.

"You just said that you have dishes that promote growth and development..."

Growth and development?

Ross raised his hand to rub his cheek, and he finally understood why their relationship had progressed so rapidly.

He understood Olvia's regret all too well.

Compared to the "grand" traditions of the One Piece world, she is indeed somewhat "ordinary" in certain areas.

Grasp it in one hand, and it will be refined in an instant!

He wanted to comfort Olvia, saying there was still room for growth, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he would be the one to enjoy the benefits later, so he didn't say anything more.

"It seems she's worried you'll be taken away from her."

Shaki poked the cigarette butt into the remaining ice cream, a playful smile on her face.

"Well, that's normal. Your existence is an addictive poison for most women in this sea."

"He's got money, he's got power, he respects women, and he's gentle when he's not fighting...tsk tsk tsk~"

"If only Rayleigh were half as family-oriented as you, that idiot would never worry that I'd run off with another man."

Ross didn't talk much about it, instead lifting Barrett's collar.

"You little brat, today's training hasn't even started yet. I'll make it up to you for yesterday's too."

Barrett's eyes turned into raging flames:

"I will definitely defeat you this time, teacher!"

Chapter 79 Fanatic As: Lord Ross will surely stand in the sky!

Just as Ross and his crew were sailing against the tide towards Skypiea on the Kuja Pirates' ship, far away on Miracle Island in the New World---

"Phew~~ That should be fine!"

Aurora wiped the sweat from her brow and stood before the statue in the chapel, her expression one of contentment.

"The teacher will be so surprised when she comes back!"

The giant statue was the same as before Ross left, except that the rough stone pillar beneath it now had its own shape.

It is wide at the bottom and narrow in the middle, then widens again as it extends to the upper part.

The top of the platform, which is less than two meters high, is a carved "stone book".

The many rules of the ideal world are written on it.

The rules include prohibitions on fighting, the principle of equality for all beings, and prohibitions against Celestial Dragons from entering.

Da·Da·Da··

The sound of a wooden cane tapping the floor drew near.

Aurora turned her head: "Grandpa As~"

“Little Aurora, Reverend Bartholomew is looking for you. He seems to have something to say to you.”

"The priest? I understand, I'll go find Big Bear right now!"

Aurora skipped away, perhaps because she was getting enough nutrition, her originally thin body gradually began to develop.

Her complexion was rosy, a far cry from her previous pale appearance.

"Lord Ross..."

Standing in front of the statue, As touched the dents on the stone book.

That was something he and the scholars of Utopia had studied for a long time before determining.

[1. Pledge of Ceasefire: Under the dome of ideals, all those who instigate war, regardless of rank, will be despised, and their names and bodies will be erased from the ideal world;]

[2. All things sit together: the king sits with the farmer, the giant with the fishman; in this land, the value of life has nothing to do with status or bloodline;]

[3. The Gate of Return: No matter where you are, remember the name of Ross, the creator of your ideal world...]

As he gazed at the lines of ideas above, As murmured to himself.

"This is Lord Ross's divine kingdom, and also everyone's ideal land. No one should try to break Lord Ross's rules."

"Anyone who dares to violate the law will inevitably face a full-scale siege by us, the citizens of our ideal land."

"We will never be apart in life, nor in death."

"As long as our ideal world exists, our souls will have a place to dwell."

In the shadows behind the chapel statue, Kiel Basda's head hung low.

He increasingly felt that something was wrong with this place.

As the ideal world grew stronger, As's words resonated more and more deeply with people.

Basda knew this couldn't possibly be Ross's idea; that man's understanding of conquest was different from others.

“As,”

After hesitating for a moment, Basta decided to ask for clarification.

"Lord Bastard."

The two men were talking across Ross's statue.

Is it really appropriate to worship Ross as the only god?

"He's just like you, an ordinary human being who needs to poop after eating."

As remained expressionless in the face of Basta's question.

"No, Lord Ross is a god."

"This is the way of the times, and ordinary people are destined not to change it; only God can."

"Lord Ross is no ordinary man; to us former slaves, he is a god!"

"He is the sun god who brings us hope, freedom, and happiness; he is the night king who brings death, destruction, and fear to his enemies!!"

"No one can escape the Night King's pursuit, and no one can defy the rules of the gods."

As's eyes widened, his mouth stretched into a grin, and he shouted with increasing fervor.

"Lord Ross will surely grace the entire sea; the enemy will tremble at the shadow cast by Lord Ross, and the common people and slaves will rejoice at the blessings bestowed by Lord Ross!"

Basta's expression was complicated, but he did not interrupt As's fervent declaration.

These freed former slaves have gone mad...

Having personally experienced the beauty of their ideal world, they no longer wanted to return to their past lives.

Strive for Ross, fight for the ideal world.

He even believed that if any pirate alliance dared to attack the island, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger.

Those civilians who received nutritional supplements would use their teeth and weapons to tear apart the enemy, and then throw their corpses into the garden as fertilizer.

And the person driving all of this was Rose's spokesperson, this very old man.

“Lord Bastard, I know you think we’re all crazy.”

As regained his composure and stood before the Codex once more.

"But you must know that we are slaves, slaves without human rights. Our status is even lower than that of ordinary pigs and dogs."

"That was true at least until Lord Ross appeared."

"It is the adults who gave us the life we ​​have today, and it is their name that protects this island."

"To us, Lord Ross is an omnipotent god."

"We don't want to go back to the past and let those tragic stories continue."

Da·Da·Da···

The sound of the cane tapping the ground faded into the distance.

"We would rather die than let the glory of God fall into the abyss."

"If that day ever comes, then let us use our flesh and bones to forge a stairway to the sky!"

“We will wait in hell, we will pray in hell.”

"Because we believe..."

Basta leans against the statue, the upper half of his face shrouded in shadow.

And As.

He had reached the church entrance, with most of his body exposed to the sunlight.

But his aged face was filled with determination and madness.

"Lord Ross will surely avenge us."

"In this vast ocean, in this world, nothing can stop Lord Ross's advance, not even a true god!!!"

"Lord Ross, you will surely stand in the sky!"

……

"That's right. Something has suddenly come up here, so our return to Miracle Island may be delayed."

The Kuja pirate ship cut through the waves and sailed forward.

Ross was doing weighted push-ups with a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) next to his head.

"What happened?"

The Den Den Mushi hesitated, its expression complex.

"It's nothing serious, Ross. Do you know what As has been up to lately?"

As?

Rose paused in his push-up, his brow furrowing slightly.

"He shouldn't cause trouble, I know As well."

"No, it wasn't about causing trouble."

The Den Den Mushi sighed and began to recount the conversation that had taken place at the church some time ago.

"The inhabitants of this island have become completely obsessed. They regard you as a god, and your every move is magnified infinitely."

"Even the fact that you injured a Celestial Dragon in the Sabaody Archipelago some time ago is seen by them as a declaration of war against the Old Gods."

"Those idiots have even started researching preparations for war..."

"He injured a Celestial Dragon? It seems Morgans has been threatened again."

Ross chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned, and sped up his push-ups.

"Don't worry, As, Basta. In these terrible times, having faith is better than having none."

"If my name puts them at ease, then let them use it."

"God or man, I don't care what they call me, just as I don't care if the Celestial Dragons and slave traders see me as a demon."

The Den Den Mushi vigorously rubbed its face with its tentacles.
