One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

Ross extended his hand to the boy with a slight smile.

"If you don't have family, then I am your family."

"If you have no home to return to, then my home is your home."

"Don't worry about food, don't worry about safety, Abel."

"You're not the only one called a monster; so are I and my students. We are all monsters in the truest sense."

"But I..."

Abel's gaze darted back and forth between the sun and Ross at the end of the passage, his eyes accumulating more and more fear.

"Never lose the courage to embrace the sun, Abel."

Ross's voice was as gentle and deep as before.

Even if your hands are tainted by darkness, even if your eyes are corrupted by darkness, as long as your soul has not been broken, then strive to stand up.

Abel instinctively stood up, his feet landing precisely on the edge of Ross's shadow.

"Emptiness, fear, and terror are normal human emotions. Don't be afraid of them. Look at them directly and let them roll out of your soul."

Ross walked forward.

After a brief moment of surprise, Abel hurriedly followed, stepping on the shadow of the man in front of him.

Like a puppy afraid of losing its owner.

“Abel,”

"..."

"From today onwards, your name will be Jin."

Abel tilted her head back and looked at the man's profile.

"The ashes left after everything has been burned to ashes will one day give birth to incredibly resilient new shoots."

“When that time comes, Jhin, come back to me and take back the name Abel.”

Ashes, a symbol of death and rebirth...

Jin's lips curled up slightly as he took two quick steps. Most of his body was covered by Ross's shadow, but the small part of his face illuminated by the sunlight was visible.

Deep within those pupils, a small patch of light suddenly shone from the huddled, gray soul.

“I will take back the name Abel, teacher.”

"Where do you executioners think you're going?"

Borsalino's voice echoed in the laboratory above.

"Although I know this is only a temporary solution, it's still a way for me to vent my anger~"

"The Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel!"

A dazzling light enveloped the Punk Hazard experimental building.

But this time, it brought not hope and warmth.

Screams, cries for help, apologies...

At this moment, Borsalino was like the despairing light cast by a black sun.

The judgment that brings an end to this filthy land.

Just as he was about to step out of the building, the power of the curved light swept over him.

“Let’s go home, Ash.”

……

Several hours later—

[Mary Geoise, Pangaea, Hall of Power]

Blub blub blub~~!

Blub blub blub~~!

"Ok?"

Jaygolucia Satan put down his quill and looked at the restless Den Den Mushi on the table.

Kacha--

"Reporting to Lord Satan!!"

"Punk Hazard has been attacked by an unknown powerful being! The Lunaria materials have been stolen, and the entire experimental area has been destroyed!!!"

"The attacker is suspected to be a Logia-type Devil Fruit user! We are powerless to resist their strength!!"

"Requesting backup! Requesting backup!!!"

Jaigolusia Satan's expression changed as the other four Elders, who had heard the distress call, approached with furrowed brows.

"I understand."

Kacha--

The Den Den Mushi hung up, and the other four members of the Satan Holy Dynasty shook their heads, indicating that now was not the time to explain.

Dial the Admiral's number.

"Kong, immediately send people to Punk Hazard for support. That island has been attacked, and the Lunaria materials have disappeared."

"If you can't recover the valuable material, you'll have to figure out what to do yourself."

Without waiting for an empty reply, the Den Den Mushi hangs up immediately.

"Punk Hazard Island was attacked? That island isn't within the Log Pose's range, so how did they find it?"

Marcus Mazsan frowned and asked, "Is it Ross again? Only he has the ability to fly to that island."

"No, this time it's probably an accident."

Saint Satan let out a long sigh, his face extremely gloomy.

As a scientific defense god, all of Punk Hazard's research is his achievement.

Whether it's the human enlargement related to the Great Hammer Chapter or the Lunarians' bloodline factor experiments.

These are all achievements that demonstrated his value to Lord Im.

but now……

"The agents report that the attackers are users of Logia-type Devil Fruits."

"The ability is suspected to be related to light. I'll leave the matter of the wanted notice to you fellow stars."

Saint Satan stood up, took his cane, and walked outside.

"I have to go down to the lower realm. If we rely on those useless naval personnel, the materials from the Lunaria race will definitely disappear into the sea."

Chapter 117 Returning Home

November, 1487 (Haiyuan Calendar).

Miracle Island, Northern Cliff

"Will Lord Ross really return today?"

“I don’t know either, but that’s what Grandpa As said. I also heard him talking to Lord Ross before we set off, so it shouldn’t be wrong.”

Aurora stood at the front of the crowd, her well-developed body concealed by armor.

A simple, unadorned longsword was tucked at his waist.

"Don't run around, Shanks! If you run around again, Mommy's going to spank you!"

"Hehehe~~"

Shanks stopped and pulled the skin below his eyelid with his index finger.

(～￣▽≦)～

"No way, Bucky, hurry up and catch up!"

"No way, Shanks! I'm an adult who's been on adventures across the seas with Dad. I won't cause Mom any trouble!"

Shanks stopped, scratched his head, and wrinkled his little face.

"I want to go on an adventure with Dad too, Mom. Can I go next time?"

Shanks drew his toy katana from his waist and brandished it haphazardly.

"I'm really strong now! Sister Aurora taught me how to wield a sword!"

Olvia stopped, panting, and squatted down next to Shanks with a smile.

"Of course, Shanks, but..."

He grabbed Shanks and put him on his lap, then pulled down the kid's pants with his right hand.

A series of crisp snapping sounds rang out.

"I'm going to punish you first, you disobedient brat!"

"Wait, wait a minute, Mom! There are still many people here!!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't run around like that again, Mom, please forgive me this time!"

Cheerful laughter erupted from the crowd.

The melodious sound of a violin rang out the next moment.

The melody without lyrics sounds very warm and comforting.

More and more people came from the forest behind, carrying flowers and cannons.

"Excuse me, excuse me, Grandpa As is here!"

"Uncle As? What are you doing here at your age?"

"Yeah, if you fall, you might just kick the bucket!"

"It's alright, it's alright, I'm still very healthy."

With the help of others, As walked to the front and found a wooden stool to sit down.

"The old man really refuses to admit he's old. If he accidentally falls and dies, today's celebration will turn into a funeral."

Barrett muttered to himself upon seeing this.

Hana swung her fist, but missed.

"Don't talk such discouraging things, you brat! As is the boss's representative. If he dies, the whole island will cry!"

Lightning transformed back into human form three meters away, and Barrett curled his lip in disdain.

"Hana Hanafuda, you can't catch me now, you slow-moving turtle."

Hana Hanafuda didn't mind, she just laughed and scolded Barrett a few times.

Although the boy is only ten years old, perhaps due to good nutrition and a lot of training, his height is already about the same as that of an average adult.

His muscles stretched his clothes so tight that he didn't look like a ten-year-old at all.

Their strength is beyond question.

If the opponent stubbornly refuses to get close, use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to wage a long-range war of attrition.

Even he couldn't do much.

He couldn't catch Barrett until he exhausted the opponent's strength.

If you can't touch it, it means you can't attack it.

It can be said that before the return of Boss Ross, the strongest person on Miracle Island was Rox, while Barrett, who was only fourteen years old, was fully qualified to be ranked in the second tier.

Hana Hanafuda finally understood why Boss Ross insisted on giving that fruit to Barrett.

Barrett possesses the highest combat intuition and combat intelligence in the ocean.
