One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"I don't quite understand why the teacher values ​​Loki. Is it because of those special eyes?"

In the shadows behind the statue, Aurora knelt on a prayer cushion.

"It's because of what happened to him, Ash."

"The fact that he didn't go crazy after going through all that proves that the giant possessed the most resilient will in the world."

"Don't be fooled by his rugged appearance; the soul beneath that body may not be as strong as we imagine."

"The teacher said—"

We can never truly empathize with someone unless we have had the same experiences as them.

Aurora closed her eyes again, her voice gradually weakening.

"At least my mother gave me the best she could when she gave birth to me."

"It was just some things that she was powerless to change at the time."

Jin didn't answer again, his eyes vacant as he stared at the statue, as if he were recalling something.

Until a gust of wind blew in from outside, bringing with it the squeaking chatter of the three little devils.

"Buggy! Let's set sail! It's time for the Shanks Pirates' grand adventure!"

Why not the Buggy Pirates?

"Hey, don't drag me into this! I still need to cultivate and get back to Sky Island as soon as possible to punish Bika!"

……

December of the year 1488 in the Haiyuan calendar—

[East Sea, near Eregia, the Island of Music]

"We've finally arrived."

Ross and Rocks, sitting atop Labs' head, looked exhausted.

They spent months crossing the doldrums, facing countless risks along the way.

We encountered large sea kings, giant sea kings, and even super-large sea kings.

If Laboon hadn't unleashed his potential, and if they hadn't used the Elbaf Spear so frequently, they probably would have been swallowed by the Sea Kings by now.

"Let's just go back and take the Reverse Mountain route, Ross. I'd rather walk for another year."

Ross lay panting on Lab, too exhausted to even argue.

That colossal sea king chased them out of the Calm Belt. If they hadn't used the Crimson Smoke Shield and Curved Light Binding Spells to buy time at the crucial moment, they would probably be having their funeral inside the sea king's belly by now.

"Lox, once I become stronger in the future, I will definitely catch that damn eel and treat the whole country to eel yakiniku (grilled eel)."

Lox sighed and lay down next to Ross, both of them staring blankly at the sky.

He doesn't want to do anything right now.

"I agree. Call me when you go fishing."

The two chatted idly about trivial things when suddenly Ross frowned, stood up, and looked at Eregia.

"Could it be that guy has caught up with us?" Locke asked, somewhat worried.

"No, I saw a special soul."

Ross didn't think he was mistaken; he had the same feeling when he met Rocks four years ago in God Valley.

That eerie atmosphere...

"Rabu, prepare to dock."

By the time Ross and his party successfully landed at the port of Eregia, the sky was already turning dusky.

But the liveliness of the music island has only increased.

Pleasant music filled the air, and Ross spotted no fewer than five declarations of love just by glancing around.

"Let's go play, little bear!!"

Ginny jumped onto the bear's back, waved her arms vigorously, and shouted, "Let's go!"

"I can't bring you guys this time, Bear Cub and I are going to have a secret date here~"

Alice only spoke up after the bear carrying Ginny had gone far away.

“You’re going to see your friends, right? I’ll take care of the children.”

Without giving Rocks a chance to speak, Alice gestured for Teach, Perry, and Olga, who only looked small, to leave.

"Hey, what are you doing following me?"

Hana Hanafuda glared angrily at Elizabeth the sea lizard.

Ever since he learned from Olga that this was a female lizard and that the frequent screeching was a courtship sound, he found the lizard increasingly unpleasant to look at.

He is human, a human!

It's not that damn sea lizard!

"Damn it, can't you just leave with your master? I want to find perfect love here!"

After such a long voyage, Hana Hanaha's mood had finally improved a lot. Although she hadn't returned to her former talkative self, she no longer spoke of hatred.

Ross glanced at the only two people left beside him, Rocks and Crocus, and headed towards the town, taking out a Den Den Mushi along the way.

Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~

Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~

Kacha--

When the Den Den Mushi was connected, instead of Roger and his friends' noisy chatter, a melodious and peaceful tune came through.

"Roger, it's..."

"Shh! Shut up, I'm at the opera house, I'll contact you later!"

Kacha--

Ross put away the Den Den Mushi and shrugged:

"Looks like we have some free time. Let's go find a place to listen to some music and have a drink."

Chapter 195 Roger: I'm the captain! I'll die first!

Cheers!

In a corner of the music square, numerous wooden wine glasses were raised high above their heads and clinked together.

"Hahaha~~ It's been a long time, Gibeck!"

Roger put his arm around Rocks' shoulder and laughed.

"I still remember four years ago, before you died, you cried and begged me and Garp to kill you. Looking back now, you were really pathetic back then."

Rocks's lips twitched: "The rest of what I said was superfluous, Roger."

Roger ignored everything and looked at Alice with a grin.

"I never expected you to have a wife and kids. I knew it back then, why did you prefer to fight to the death rather than retreat?"

"So they were covering for their family to escape."

Rocks took a sip of his drink, and his expression softened as he looked at Alice.

"Ugh, this sour smell is awful."

Roger pushed Rocks aside and moved closer to Ross on his left.

"How did you manage to sail with these guys for so long? If it were me, I would definitely find a place to dump them on the ship."

"You won't think that way after you get married, Roger."

Rose doesn't mind the Rocks couple showing off their love every day.

He misses Olvia terribly right now, and wonders what she's doing or if she's thinking of him.

"Getting married~~"

Roger tried to imagine what his wedding would be like.

"I really can't imagine such a thing. I don't even know what my future family will be like."

"Roger, if you die someday, remember not to give up everything in this world easily."

"Whether it's family or ambition, you must have a conviction that can sustain your soul."

Roger was puzzled when Ross suddenly started talking about something else.

"How could I possibly die? If anyone's going to die, it'll be you first."

Ross offered no explanation, but as he smiled and waved, the swaying hem of his shirt revealed a ring pendant hanging around his neck.

"In short, just remember what I said, I won't go out of my way to remind you of anything useless."

Roger paused, then tentatively asked thoughtfully, "What future have you seen this time?"

Ross shook his head, unwilling to say more on the matter.

In the original story, if Roger's terminal illness had been curable, Crocus would never have sat idly by and waited to die.

Roger's death was partly to advance the plot, which is known as a murder mystery game.

But the bigger reason is probably that incurable disease.

Otherwise, given Crocus's medical expertise, he wouldn't have let his best friend die.

"Let me introduce you. This is Crocus, a friend of the witch doctor Kureha, and the guy who will soon become the ship's doctor for the Roger Pirates."

"Ship's doctor?"

Roger raised his glass to Crocus in a gesture of respect.

"So you're the insurance Ross found for me, right? Is it because I'll die of an illness in the future?"

The lively atmosphere at the dinner table instantly cooled down, and everyone's eyes turned to Ross.

“Are you afraid, Roger?” Ross asked.

"Hahaha~~"

Roger stood up, raised his glass, and let out a hearty laugh that carried far.

"Death is something everyone has to go through. Whether you die sooner or later, it's still death. But if I can become the Pirate King before I die, I'd be willing to die the next day!"

"Everyone, don't look so sad!"

"Ross meant that I might die from an illness, but he didn't say when. Maybe in thirty years."

"I was an old man back then, so I was fine with it when I died."

"Maybe you can give me the chance to visit the grave and then we can drink together again."

"Roger is right."

Jabba stood up, raised his glass, and smiled just as brightly.

"We are pirates, and pirates can die at any time. Isn't that what we were prepared for when we boarded the ship?"

"Anyway, if the ball dies, it's not me who's upset!"

"Just thinking about Roger crying and jumping on my tombstone makes me incredibly happy!"

"Bullshit! If anyone's going to die, it'll be me first!"

Roger laughed and cursed, "I'm the captain! I'll die first! That's the captain's order!"

"But Jabba is right, the thought of you bunch of bastards crying when you come to see me makes me super excited!"

"Then! Everyone!!"

Everyone, including Ross Rocks, stood up and raised their glasses.

"Let's make a bet! Whoever dies first becomes a super pirate! A super pirate who surpasses even high-ranking pirates!!!"

Seeing this absurd scene, Crocus couldn't help but smile.
