One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

Ross didn't make fun of Barrett at that moment; he knew the other man was just putting on a cool act.

Otherwise, according to his usual habits, this kid would either pester him for advice on the development direction of the fruit or show off his newly acquired abilities.

"That guy, wait, how did he die?" Barrett suddenly remembered the human shield he encountered when he was punched away by his teacher.

"He's beyond saving, that's what the teacher said."

Enel remembered what the bald man had said when he saved him—

[You blasphemers! What have you done! I should have given my life to Lord Thor and received unparalleled glory!]

[You've ruined everything! You idiots have ruined my life!!!]

Enel's smile widened even further.

When the other person said those words, the teacher chose to respect and grant his wish, sending him to meet the great Thor.

"Let's go, Barrett. Let's go back. It'll be time for us to leave after they've finished exploring Angel Island."

At the temple entrance, below the giant ray that the flesh-eating creature had transformed into, Ross used the temple's height to gaze at the forest.

Enel,

"teacher."

Ever since witnessing Ross's display of power, Enel has become more respectful towards men.

He wondered what expressions those damned priests would have when he returned after completing his studies and single-handedly wiped out Bika.

fear?

Or are they panicking?

None of that matters to Enel; all he wants to do is destroy this place when he returns!

Ross let out a long breath, but ultimately swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

He is not Enel, and he did not experience Enel's life.

He had no right to persuade Enel to give up his hatred, nor did he want to.

Repay kindness with kindness, and avenge wrongs.

This is perfectly natural and normal.

"Just like Barrett said, a man takes revenge himself."

"Let's go, pick up Olvia and the others, then go to the Golden City, get the rubbing of the Poneglyph, and leave the Sky Island."

……

【Gaya Island, Magic Valley Town】

The town's shops were closed, and the streets were littered with unconscious pirates and corpses.

In the middle of the street, sitting atop a pile of bodies, some unconscious and some dead, Hana Hanafuda cackled wickedly.

"What?! Is this the level of the Paradise Pirates?"

"Hey, you guys don't even have the ability to get me fired up!"

Whew!

A strong wind blew in, and Dorag appeared on the roof of a nearby house.

"Now that all the bounty hunters have been dealt with, what's the next step?"

what to do……

Hana Hana's eyes darted around, and she smiled and waved to Dorrag.

Only after the young man came to his side did he lower his voice.

"Drag, you're very familiar with the nearby naval base, aren't you?"

Dorrag nodded subconsciously in agreement.

"The news of your joining us shouldn't have leaked out yet. Here's what I'll do: I'll have someone send all these guys to the pirate ship on the shore."

"Use your wind-blown abilities to go to the nearest naval branch and replace them all with Bailey."

Dorag stared at Hana Hanafuda in disbelief: "You mean, you want me to exchange them all for bounty money?!"

Hana Hanafuda gave a thumbs-up and grinned shamelessly:

"That's right, the pirates in this place can never be completely wiped out. Even if we kill them all this time, they'll just reappear next time."

"If we ever need money in the future, we'll come here and pack up all the pirates here to exchange for money."

"Boss Ross always says,"

There is no such thing as completely useless waste in this world, only waste that doesn't know how to utilize resources.

"Since you were in the Navy before, you might as well make some money out of this Pyrite."

"We've almost spent all the Baileys we looted in Sabaody, and the new ship is just too expensive."

Hana Hanafuda's teeth ached at the mere mention of the new ship awaiting acquisition in Water Seven.

With the "help" of the slave traders in Sabaody, the treasure they plundered was worth around 5 million Berries.

The new ship cost 530 million Berries, thanks in large part to Ross's act of saving Water Seven.

Otherwise, at this price, it's not certain that you could buy a new ship with the Adam Tree as its keel.

Dorag stared into Hana Hana's eyes, making sure the other person wasn't joking, his eyes twitched, and he gritted his teeth.

"...You guys really know how to 'make use of waste,' you bastards!"

Chapter 84 The Demon-Slaying Order: Prequel (Seeking first subscriptions~)

Marine Headquarters, Marineford Island

At the headquarters building, staff and marines hurried to and fro.

"Isn't this plan a bit too rushed?"

In the marshal's office, He's voice lacked its usual firmness.

"Even if the fish-man shipwright Tom helped Ross build a ship, he was a shipwright, not a pirate. The World Government's reasons for arresting him are far too far-fetched."

"Fishman Island is now associated with Ross, which is not a good thing for our navy."

“If news of the merman shipwright’s capture gets out, I’m worried the mermen will gravitate even closer to Ross.”

He stood by the window, gazing at the residential area.

"How could I not know? Alas!"

"But this is the Five Elders' idea; the Navy is only responsible for cooperating."

"If the Whitebeard Pirates hadn't suddenly appeared in Paradise, Sengoku would have had to send them over to help as well."

He silently sipped his tea, and after a long while, he spoke softly:

"So, the Knights of God are in charge of this capture operation?"

Kong's eyes gleamed as he turned his back to the crane.

As Tsuru said, this is the World Government's response to the Sabaody Archipelago incident some time ago.

Although, through pressure, the fact that Ross killed the Celestial Dragon has been distorted into the Celestial Dragon being injured in the aftermath of the battle.

But Thatchers Garman's identity is far too sensitive.

The Maffei Palace, also a member of the Thatcherz family, has made it clear that it will intervene.

This means that the Knights of God will definitely launch an attack, as for the number of soldiers to be deployed...

"Crane, for the sake of justice, some sacrifices are worthwhile."

Zefa, who was listening in, frowned and looked unpleasant.

He had been suppressing his anger by remaining silent, but now he had no choice but to speak.

"Marshal, even if the goal is to capture Ross, is it really necessary to place the battlefield in the most prosperous part of Water Seven?"

"Don't you know Ross's destructive power?!"

"Once the great war begins, the all-out war will surely destroy Water Seven completely!!"

"When will the Navy's justice be served...?"

"Enough, Zephyr!"

Several veins bulged on his forehead.

"If I could make the decision myself, I wouldn't have relayed the message!"

"This is an order! Admiral Zephyr, immediately take the Buster Call to Water Seven and prepare to participate in the plan to eliminate the great pirate Ross!"

"Even if it costs us the entire Water Seven, we must stop the great pirate Ross from going berserk!"

Zefa stood up with a dark expression and walked outside without saying a word.

"Marshal, I know the Navy has no choice, but this time it has really gone too far."

He put down his teacup, his face equally grim.

Zephyr, Sengoku, and Garp—these are all her comrades-in-arms along the way.

She knew the personalities of the three of them well.

Garp's refusal to answer the Den Den Mushi suggests he already knows what's going on there and doesn't intend to get involved.

Sengoku was stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago to prevent the Whitebeard Pirates from causing trouble there.

Only Zephyr accepted this sordid and dark mission.

The City of Seven Waters has a large resident population and a significant number of tourists.

Even many nobles from the kingdom would book ships there.

If the Buster Call were activated in such a place, the death toll would likely be in the hundreds of thousands.

She wouldn't be surprised even if it were a million.

And the role that the navy played in all of this...

To put it nicely, it's for peace and justice; to put it bluntly, it's being an accomplice.

There are clearly better solutions to this problem.

But the Five Elders chose the most radical one.

Especially after CP agents successfully gathered intelligence in Water Seven.

Buster Call, Marine Admiral, Knights of God.

call……

He let out a long breath, suppressing his frustration and the urge to slam the door and leave.

She is the chief of staff of headquarters. If even she throws a tantrum and leaves, the situation facing the Navy will be even worse.

Crane, lost in thought, suddenly changed his expression and stared intently at Kong's back.

Does Dragon know about this?

Empty silence.

It was precisely this silence that shattered the crane's last remaining patience.

"Are you planning to sacrifice Dragon?! He's Garp's son!!"

"The infiltration plan wasn't just..."

"I know, Crane, I know!"

His eyes widened, his fists clenched, and his voice was hoarse.

"I know, but there's nothing I can do!"

"The Five Elders know about the infiltration plan that Dragon is in charge of, but they don't think it's promising! They're even unwilling to know the details!"

"Because Dragon fired a shot at a Celestial Dragon two years ago at God Valley!!!"
