One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

He's a businessman, so he understands.

But a deduction in points is inevitable.

First, they make a large sum of money from their enemies, and then they contact them, using free things as favors.

"Then I must thank Boss Fu Shen for his generosity. I will make good use of those weapons."

Den Den Mushi patted its belly and laughed:

"I'm glad you're satisfied. Oh, by the way, do you need me to help you capture Buena Festa?"

“I think you might want to meet him.”

“That cunning fox, Buena Festa, won’t let you catch him.”

As soon as Ross finished speaking, a report came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Boss! Buena Festa has disappeared. His room is empty, and the woman who was in charge of entertaining him is dead. Judging from the condition of the body, she was probably killed around midnight!"

“Look, Feld, the fox has run away.”

Ross's smile became more playful.

"Don't worry about him. That guy won't appear in public unless he's absolutely sure."

"He's probably meeting with you because of the research at the Peace Institute."

"The weapons that scientists create can expand the scale of their wars."

"Let that guy run away. One day he'll show up in front of me on his own."

Feld's eyes flickered.

Buena Festa's cunning was indeed beyond his expectations.

"What a pity! I was planning to invite him to visit you."

Having failed to achieve his goal, Feld repeatedly assured him that they would meet again in the future before hanging up the phone.

Nearby, Lox scoffed:

"This guy is really cunning; he actually tried to do people a favor by offering something for free."

"What's wrong with businessmen these days? How do they get so famous with such low intelligence?"

"So he's an underground businessman, not a legitimate one."

Ross put away the Den Den Mushi, his expression indifferent, revealing neither his joy nor displeasure.

“His mindset hasn’t changed yet. He thinks he can both earn money from our enemies and win my favor with the antidote and empty words.”

"In his view, I am one of the potential partners; he is different from the businessmen in Elbaf."

"Once those giants secretly contact human merchants to open trade routes, only to find themselves deceived and harassed by them, we will become their only partner."

Ross abruptly stopped speaking and called out to the children cultivating not far away:

"Get moving, Buggy, Shanks, Enel! You're already two laps behind Jhin."

"Third time's the charm. If I get overtaken by Jin a third time, I'll personally chase after him with a belt!"

Chapter 130 [For Rose!] [For Glory!]

[Miracle Island Port Village, Shakky's Rip-off Bar]

Hey~

The bell behind the door rang out with a clear, crisp sound.

Xia Qi, who was yawning out of boredom, cast a glance at it.

"Lox, what brings you here?"

"Give me a drink, put it on Ross's tab."

Wearing a black and white kimono with the number "11" on it, Locke found an empty seat and sat down.

It was still afternoon, and Xiaqi's overpriced bar wasn't crowded.

"Hey, it really is that Rocks!"

"That's right, I remember that face. Hey, look at the sword at his waist! I heard that he got it after being brought back from the underworld by the great pirate Ross and swearing allegiance to him!"

"That knife? Hmm~ It looks tattered and worn out. Is it anything special?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down. That knife is said to be a demonic blade that devours souls. Besides Boss Ross, only the dead who have returned from the underworld can use it!!"

Listening to the whispers of the pirates in the bar, Rocks picked at his ear, too lazy to argue.

"Your story has been completely demonized."

Shaki brought over a glass of watered-down rum and then sat down opposite Rocks.

"They all say you are proof of Ross's courage in venturing into the underworld, and that sword is also a demonic sword that Ross brought out from the underworld."

"boring."

Rocks picked up his glass and downed half of the wine in one gulp.

"It's all Ross's fault. He should have come out and clarified this much sooner. When did I become a loyal subordinate?!"

"At most, I'm just a like-minded friend who works with him!"

"Yes, yes~~"

Xia Qi took a deep drag of her cigarette, and after a brief pause, exhaled a thin stream of smoke.

"So, like-minded Rox, may I ask you, would you dare disobey Rox's orders?"

Rebuked, Rocks glared at Shakky, then looked away somewhat guiltily.

he can not……

The last time he got carried away and disobeyed orders, the result was that his special body was taken away, and his soul returned to that dark workshop.

Ross neither cursed nor punished, but simply made the workshop disappear.

Within three days, he couldn't bear that kind of life anymore and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

Rocks remembered that day; it was the first time in his life that he had bowed his head.

Afterwards, I didn't feel much resentment, since I was still alive and able to enjoy fine wine thanks to the other party.

Repay kindness with kindness, and avenge wrongs with revenge.

Moreover, Ross is also using his influence to help him find his wife and children.

He, Lox D. Gibbek, is not an ingrate!

"so,"

Shakky glared at the pirates around her who had their eyes glued to her thighs, leaned forward, and lowered her voice.

"Is it true that your wife and children are still alive?"

"I heard that you two might be going on a separate sea voyage in a few months, is it for them?"

Rocks glanced at Shakky and moved his head slightly.

"Is it true? Ross even tells you things like this?"

"It wasn't Ross who said that."

Having received the accurate information, Xia Qi looked satisfied and resumed her lazy sitting posture, leaning back in her chair with her two fair legs propped up on the table.

“There are many rumors about you, I just picked some of the most outrageous ones.”

"So Lingling's joke from years ago was true. Back then, I just felt that you didn't care about me at all, and I even wondered if there was something wrong with my charm."

"After all, even Newgate couldn't resist my charm. So you already had a family, then God Valley..."

Before Shakky could finish speaking, Rocks nodded helplessly.

“Yes, those Devil Fruits may be the greatest treasure to them, but for me, my family is the treasure I need to reclaim.”

Ta-da!

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside the bar.

"Hurry up and get to the church! Boss Ross's free medical consultation time has started!"

"This is the best opportunity to get close to Lord Ross!"

The pirates inside the bar couldn't wait to get up and rush outside as fast as they could.

"Get out of here, you bunch of bastards!"

"You're the one who should get out of here! Boss Ross will definitely accept my allegiance!!!"

"Let's have a fight first, and the winner will get the chance to meet Boss Ross!"

Lockes glanced at him and said softly:

"If you want to fight, go outside and fight. If you damage this place, I'll send you to the place I know best."

"Ah, yes."

The pirates quickly stood up straight, bowed in apology, and left in an orderly fashion.

"I'm so sorry, we'll leave now~ Come on, let's get out of here quickly, I almost forgot that we can't fight here, it would be terrible if we got caught!"

"Let's decide the winner with rock-paper-scissors!"

Rocks shook his head and sneered, "What a polite bunch of pirates. When did this era become like this?"

"It's not this era, it's the absolute order brought about by the name Ross."

Xia Qi got up to clear away the wine glasses and plates.

"The rude fellows are either locked up in Kiel's Ghost Prison or hanging on Howling Beach, their eyes pecked out by seagulls."

"This is the Ross order built with blood and lives."

Rocks sipped his drink thoughtfully.

"The new world is like a giant anthill."

"The powerful queen ant operates independently, attracting the next level of ants to join her."

Xia Qi went to the kitchen, handed the dirty wine glasses to the old man she had hired to clean, and then returned to the front hall with a cigarette in her mouth.

"Not everyone has the potential to become the ant king; those ants without talent can only choose to serve the strong."

"Compared to others, Rose's strengths and weaknesses are both obvious."

"An obedient guy can get everything he wants."

"It's that simple."

Shakky refilled Rocks's glass of cheap rum for free, then leaned against the bar, the abyss beneath her arms becoming increasingly pronounced.

"Do you know, Rocks, that there are now ten pirate crews that have declared their allegiance to Ross, regardless of size?"

"These people all have their own unique characteristics, but they all have one thing in common~"

"They all claim to be high-level pirates who control their desires. What they need is not plunder, killing, and fighting, but witnessing."

"They believe that Ross will definitely become the king of all pirates and the king of this sea."

"They hope to follow that man to unprecedented heights."

huh~~

Xia Qi exhaled a puff of smoke, stubbing out the cigarette butt, leaving only the bottom, in the ashtray.

"Those guys~~"

"I don't know when the rumors about vying for the captaincy under Ross started."

Those who follow Ross no longer fear death; no one can stop the God-King Ross's advance, not even the Underworld!

"The unspoken meaning..."

Lox put down his glass and took over the conversation.

"The implication is that if they die for Ross, Ross will snatch their souls back from the clutches of the underworld, just as he did for me."
