One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"Don't reveal your mission. Don't ask questions you shouldn't. Are you trying to get us killed?!"

Ross pushed away the other person's hand covering their mouth and asked in return:

"Didn't you just ask us who we are? Now that I've told you, you're not happy."

"Why are you sweating so much? Hey! Turn on the air conditioning in the cafeteria, can't you see this guy's face is covered in sweat?!"

"You, you can continue. Just pretend I was never here."

Ross pursed his lips as he watched the Lion Scarf agent slink away.

You little punk, I can scare you to death by just throwing out a random name.

"Another bowl, please!!"

"Hey, Borsalino, that's enough! If you keep eating, how are we going to carry out our secret mission later?"

The surrounding agents all lowered their heads, and the timid ones even forgot to eat, got up and left with a laugh.

After Borsalino finished eating and the two men, heavily pregnant, left, the quiet dining hall was filled with murmurs.

"Luckily we didn't hear it. If Commander Raschi knew we were asking about a secret mission, we would definitely be punished!"

"Yeah, yeah, it's all that guy's fault for being so talkative. Damn it, he almost got us killed!"

Outside the cafeteria, Borsalino picked his teeth with a toothpick, his deadpan eyes occasionally glancing at the agents passing by.

"Hey Ross... Ross, is it really okay for you to be so open and aboveboard?"

"What do you plan to do if you really run into that guy, Russky?"

As he walked, Ross took a big bite of the apple.

"What do you mean, what to do? We can just find someone else later. Anyway, CP9 has no chance of directly contacting the Five Elders."

"Their direct superiors are officials from the World Government."

"Don't look so cautious. The more open and aboveboard we are, the less suspicious the people here will be."

"Come on, I'll show you the truth of the world."

As the thrown fruit pit landed on the grass, the murmurs of the binding spell could be heard.

"Binding Path No. 26: Curved Light".

"Oh~~ This use of light is quite novel. Teach me later, Ross-san~"

"Shut up, Borsalino. From now on, don't speak."

"Yes, yes, great pirates are truly terrifying~"

……

[Special Research Class - Building A]

hum-

The steel door opened.

"I'm off work now, let's go eat first."

"Researching that material is really difficult. Are all the Lunaria people that strong?"

"Who knows? But a bounty of 1 million Berries is really tempting. I just wonder who will be lucky enough to catch that guy."

"..."

After the people from the lab had passed by, a murky white light suddenly flew out from the corner.

After using the power of Kido Hakubu to put the Den Den Mushi in the room into a state of unconsciousness, Ross deactivated the Curved Light.

"Is this what you were going to show me? It doesn't seem strange."

Borsalino paced back and forth in the laboratory, picking up experimental records from the table to review them.

[On January 1, 1486, the blood of giants was infused into the Lilliputians.]

[On January 3rd, the Dwarf race material exhibited a rejection reaction and died.]

[March 2nd, significant progress was made in the experiment of human gigantification...]

【January 6th...】

Borsalino fell silent as he looked at the record texts one after another.

Ross walked toward the control area, holding a light blue ID card he had taken from the scientist.

Welcome to scientist Dela Cooper.

After a line of text appeared on the screen, a passage leading deeper into the southeast corner of the room suddenly opened.

It was right where those scientists had just come from.

“Let’s go, Borsalino, there might be something that interests you there.”

The curved light used for cover once again concealed the two figures.

They quickly moved forward along the dimly lit passage, and in less than a minute, they arrived at an area full of bottles and jars.

As far as the eye can see, there are also many scientists holding paper and pens, taking notes.

"here it is……"

The two stood in front of an empty petri dish. Borsalino stared at the swollen human suspended in the center of the thick liquid, his expression grim.

Just then, a scientist walked up nearby.

"Hmm, the giantification experiment has failed again; it's that rejection reaction again."

"Sigh, this is the culmination of so many experiments. We're almost out of slaves for these experiments. It seems we'll have to send our agents to capture another batch."

Ross pressed Borsalino's hand down and shook his head.

After the scientists had walked away, he spoke softly:

"It's no use. Even if you destroy this place, they can still find a more suitable place."

“There are countless experimental sites like this across the ocean. Even if you destroy this place, it won’t solve the problem.”

"The recording is complete. Everyone, go eat first. We can finish the remaining observation records after we finish eating."

"Let's go, let's go. Hmm~ I've been busy all morning and haven't accomplished anything."

The scientists left, grumbling.

"Who says otherwise? But I heard there's been some breakthrough progress in Building B. The durability test results for the Lunaria race are quite good!"

Once the scientists had completely left, Ross dispelled the demonic path.

"How about that? Surprised?"

Standing in the central aisle of the laboratory, Ross looked around with a forced smile.

"That's one of the reasons I'm bringing you in here."

"This place is a hellish cycle where humans degenerate into livestock. These people, confined in petri dishes, cannot even obtain the most easily attainable death."

"Witness all of this with your own eyes, Borsalino."

Chapter 115 Young man, do you prefer me using this Senbonzakura sword, or the Nichishizuku?

Humans, dwarves, long-armed people, furry people, snake-headed people, fish-men...

Borsalino walked past one petri dish after another, gazing at the various creatures inside with their eyes closed.

His expression went from gloomy at the beginning to angry, and finally to expressionless.

Standing before the enormous petri dish at the end, Borsalino looked up at the giant imp huddled together.

Are they dead?

"I don't know, I'm not a scientist, but I think even if he's not dead, he's probably close to it."

"Yeah……"

Borsalino raised his right hand, his four fingers slightly bent except for his index finger, which was straight, and elemental light spread from his fingertip to his knuckle.

"Sorry, Rossan~ I might be in trouble."

"I don't really like this kind of scene."

Whoosh—Boom!

Laser beams shot out, the tank exploded, and alarms and red lights illuminated the once quiet and secluded secret room.

An unusual explosion has occurred in the cultivation area!

The piercing alarm blared in his ears, but Borsalino seemed not to hear it. He walked to the giant imp who had fallen to the ground and called out softly.

But all that awaited them was deathly silence.

"he died."

Borsalino clenched his teeth, and a cross-shaped vein bulged on his forehead.

In the next instant, he transformed into elements and flew up to the ceiling of the cultivation area.

"The Eight-Span Curved Jewel!!"

Buzz~~ Boom boom boom!

A series of explosions echoed throughout the underground area, but Ross did not stop Borsalino, whose blood was still hot.

He didn't know what the other person had experienced or what burdens they carried in the original story.

But this life is different.

"If the world cannot offer gentleness,"

Ross strolled through the incoming light blasts, a whisper escaping his throat.

"Then let us take action and grant this sea gentleness and freedom."

The explosion of the Yasakani no Magatama lasted for a full three minutes.

As the light rushed to Ross's side and condensed into Borsalino's form, a series of rapid footsteps echoed from the passage above.

"Qu Guang".

As the light barrier rose again to conceal their figures, Ross asked softly, "Feeling any better?"

Borsalino remained silent, his fists clenched tightly.

"This is the truth, Borsalino."

"The butcher, high above, wields a cleaver, while the ignorant arbitrarily judge the crimes of the innocent."

"Hurry, hurry! The breeding area is the most important place. Damn it, how could something suddenly go wrong there!?"

"Hurry! Rescue the footage as quickly as possible!!!"

Watching the agents run past him, Ross muttered to himself:

"You think you've seen the whole truth? No, this is just the tip of the iceberg."

"Those in power exchange absolute and eternal power for a small sacrifice, which is seen by those in power as the right choice."

"No one can say for sure how many billions of lives are in this ocean, so what are a mere hundred thousand or a million deaths?"

"Their sacrifice will help those in power consolidate their regime and stabilize their rule."

"That's their only value."

Once no more agents were running out of the passage, Ross led Borsalino into it, heading towards the light at the end.

"Isn't it ironic?"

"Most mothers give birth to their children with beautiful wishes, hoping that their children can see this beautiful world."

"But reality is often contrary to expectations. They probably never imagined that their children would become test subjects for their own or other races."

Human rights? Heh~

"Pigs, dogs, and slaves can breathe, but this right is a luxury for them."

"Perhaps for the subjects, being able to have a sweet dream is the greatest blessing?"
