One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

This is the game of hide-and-seek by the Kusajishi Yachiru.

The prerequisite for this game of hide-and-seek is entering a state of madness.

Unrestricted madness state, but the price is not small.

After 30 minutes, each minute consumes one month of lifespan; twelve minutes equals one year. If it drags on any longer…

Bang---!!

The moment the double-barreled shotgun fired, the bullet was already in front of Ross.

His left arm was severed at the root, and blood gushed out!

Rose ignored it all and gripped the Wild Sun Slash with his right hand!

The result was also the enemy's left arm.

But for Im, physical injuries were not a concern at all.

The moment the left hand left the body, the double-barreled shotgun vanished in flames and returned to the spellbook.

"Useless, mere mortals cannot touch Mother's body."

The trident thrust forward swiftly.

With a low growl, Im lifted Ross up and slammed him to the ground.

His left hand, now fully restored, stroked the pages of the book, from which he pulled out several throwing knives and flung them out.

He then flew directly above the enemy and summoned half a cannon barrel from the spellbook.

boom-!

boom-!!

Two shells landed in quick succession, sending mushroom clouds soaring into the sky!

The next moment, the demon flapped its wings and flew out of the clouds, its eyes flashing red light.

"You still have the stamina to fight Mu, at least Mu acknowledges that about you."

Covered in wounds and missing an arm, Ross burst out of the dust and sped along the ground.

He ran to the area below Im, just about to unleash a flying slash to force the enemy to land.

Several bandaged arrows were already upon them.

puff--!!

Skin torn, bones shattered, and a heart pounding inside.

"ended."

Im slowly descended to the ground, stopping in front of Ross, who was bound by bandages and a dagger.

The trident plunged fiercely into the enemy's heart!

"You have wasted the only chance that Mu gave you, human."

"You're just like Rocks..."

As he drew his trident, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in Im's eyes.

"It can pique Mu's interest, but it can't make Mu truly happy."

Drawing his trident and gazing at the fallen enemy corpses, Im was about to withdraw his contract and possession.

Thump!

Thump thump--! !

The dust on the ground began to vibrate with each heartbeat.

"This is……"

Im looked at the "corpse" on the ground in surprise, his ears filled with the pounding of a heartbeat.

[Mad Demon: Automatically activates when near death, restoring full stamina, healing all injuries, and replenishing all stored dominance. Strength and attack desire are doubled. This state can last up to 30 minutes.]

[Activate to your heart's content]

[The final trial has begun. Please find the hiding Kusajishi Yachiru.]

Ross suddenly opened his eyes as his severed left arm flew towards him, and the granulation tissue growing from the cut began to heal!

Broken bones and torn skin healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A Conqueror's Haki far surpassing anything seen before erupted!

The ground was shattered by the immense force!

"Junzi" stared wide-eyed at the man who had suddenly appeared in front of him.

So fast!

The enemy's speed has increased, and their aura is also...!!!

With a single slash, Rose sent Im flying, then gripped the knife in one hand and swung it wildly.

Countless flying slashes of varying sizes and shapes burst forth from the blade!

"You can't run away!"

The earth bears the full force of Armament Haki!

Ross, having fully recovered his stamina and domineering aura, is unleashing his full power.

Using the speed of Instant Step, he moved faster than anyone else, blocking the flying demon's path, and then brought his greatsword down again.

Half of his body was cut open, but Im looked thoughtful.

The enemy's speed is more than twice as fast as before.

With his physical body alone, Junzi probably couldn't keep up with the enemy's speed.

Continuing to fight like this will only damage the dignity of the god.

"Ok?"

Ross, who was in pursuit, suddenly stopped, his mind flashing to the future one second from now.

Black to Domination!?

Not daring to linger, Ross used Instant Step to leave again, while simultaneously setting up a gaping hole beneath his feet to block the way.

Although it's uncertain whether it can stop the Black Domination, it's always good to be cautious.

Did you manage to dodge it?

Im frowned; he had seen it—the enemy had just intended to attack him.

But it stopped at the last moment and moved erratically in other directions.

"How far into the future can your Observation Haki see?"

"How far?"

As Ross watched the magic circle on the ground in the distance quietly recede, he felt a chill run down his spine.

The sense of crisis that had just emerged even briefly suppressed Mad Demon's desire to attack!

He had a feeling that if he were hit by that move, he would probably be forced to join the Knights of God, just like Junzi.

"I can see your death decades from now, you bastard!"

He spat to the side and then stomped his right foot forward.

The ground was stomped with tremendous force, creating spiderweb-like cracks, and countless rhomboid stones formed spikes that hurtled toward the target.

"One-Sword Style..." Ross charged forward, gripping his sword with both hands.

At this moment, Im made a strange gesture.

With your left palm facing up and your fingers in an "OK" gesture.

Spots of white patches appeared on the palm.

puff~

A tiny black flame suddenly appeared!

A sense of crisis has returned!

"Is this all this body can do...?"

Im looked at Ross, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

Junzi's physique is indeed not strong, but this man's physique is definitely not bad.

Once we defeat him and take this body...

With this special body, I'm sure I can better bear the power of the Devil Fruit!

"Demonic energy..."

Chapter 94 Searching and searching for a friend~ Found it! It's Lox!

"Demonic energy!"

The black flames shone brightly!

Suddenly, a jet-black bullet was fired.

But this bullet, no bigger than a soybean, triggered Ross's instinctive reaction that he couldn't take it head-on.

Wilderness sun shines as reinforcements return, their domineering spirit unites them.

Boom!

The black bullet struck the blade and exploded, the powerful blast wave propelling the man backward.

Ross groaned, a trickle of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"You can't even withstand a wisp of Mu's demonic energy."

Im twisted his right wrist, and the demonic energy that originally existed in his left palm spread to the trident.

They attempted to change the weapon's shape, but it quietly exploded at the last moment.

"As expected, this body cannot withstand Mu's full power..."

Im lowered his head and looked at the white dot on his palm, his brows furrowing slightly.

If they had descended using the bodies of the Lunaria, how could the battle have deteriorated to such an unfavorable state?

Looking up, a thousand thoughts flashed through my mind.

The enemy's unique characteristics were indeed unexpected.

Grow bigger, recover, gain strength...

Just like the divine race of Lunaria back then, they possess special abilities that ordinary humans cannot have.

"But it's enough to deal with today's battle."

With a long exhale, Im flapped his wings and flew away, the demonic energy returning to his left palm, from which he shot out fireballs.

The deafening explosions tore through the earth, and ominous black flames destroyed everything in their path.

boom--!

The trident and the wild sun collided, and in less than half a second, Junzi's body was directly cleaved away by the enormous force.

The weapon broke in two, turning into black flames that rushed back into Im's body.

"Trade your lifespan for immortality and..."

The pentagram formation reappeared beneath the enemy's feet.

Ross immediately changed direction and fully utilized the essence of Flash, displaying extraordinary agility.

After another test, Im became even more certain of his previous guess.

This man's Observation Haki really does allow him to foresee the future!

"This farce should end now."
