One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

“Celestial Dragon Saint Cedric, according to intelligence, that guy just arrived at Sabaody Archipelago two days ago. He should be at the slave auction site now. Find him and kill him.”

The atmosphere at the auction instantly froze.

"That way, the Navy won't bother me anymore. We'll talk about the reward when you get back to the New World."

"I understand, then that's settled."

Roger hung up the Den Den Mushi and waved to Rayleigh, who was dressed as a slave on the stage.

"Rayleigh, the farce is over. Kill that Celestial Dragon and retreat."

"receive."

"wait……!!"

Buzz--!

The overwhelming power of Conqueror's Haki swept across the entire area, causing everyone to fall into a coma.

Rayleigh broke free of his iron chains and rushed to the Celestial Dragon, holding a miniature knife the size of his palm.

Just then, the ceiling suddenly shattered, and Garp, bursting in from the outside, shouted:

"Roger, come back with me! I've reserved a single room for you in Impel Down!"

Garp, who was storming the auction house, was unusually excited and did not notice that a falling rock had hit a Celestial Dragon on the head.

Rayleigh, who was about to make a move, froze on the spot, looking at the Celestial Dragon in front of him whose head and upper body had been smashed, and then looked up at Roger with an innocent smile.

"I didn't do it, Garp killed him."

Sizzle--

The powerful collision of lightning sparked in all directions, and Roger smiled excitedly:

"It doesn't matter, as long as the mission is accomplished. Now is not the time to fight the Navy. Retreat, Rayleigh!"

"Garp, my other comrades are still liberating slaves. The righteous Navy certainly won't stop slaves from gaining their freedom, right?"

While Garp turned to defend against Rayleigh's slash, Roger unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.

"Roger Pirates, retreat!"

Two-colored Haki swiftly wrapped around "Ace's" blade.

"Gods, dodge!!"

Chapter 27 Knights, Princes, and Believers

Beehive Island

Ross put away the Den Den Mushi, sat down on the pile of corpses to rest for a while, his breathing not too heavy.

"This warm-up was really long."

'Even if I brought in ten thousand more of these small fry, no! A million, I wouldn't feel tired.'

Inside the Zanpakuto workshop, Rocks scoffed.

'When did Beehive Island become a garbage dump? When did these kinds of low-level scum infiltrate it?'

Seeing that Ross did not respond, Locke changed the subject.

'What are you going to do with those slaves and women? You're not really planning to keep them, are you?'

"I need a lot of help to completely transform Beehive Island."

Ross did not lower his voice when he spoke.

The crowd following not far behind held their breath and pricked up their ears, intending to hear what the man was saying.

"Those who are willing to stay will be granted citizenship in the Utopia."

call……

The soreness in his muscles quickly disappeared, and Ross gripped the hilt of the knife beside him, slowly getting up.

It sounded like a murmur, or perhaps an answer to someone's question.

"Nobility? What would we need such things for? Miracle Island in the future will only have two identities and one type of people."

"I am the boss, and I am the employee."

"Everyone living on this island is a citizen, including me."

"The ideal world needs no nobles, no kings, and no privileges."

"When there are too many people talking, the world will become chaotic, so this island only needs one person in charge and one set of rules."

"They work for me, and I provide for their livelihood."

The sticky footsteps started again, heading towards the final destination.

……

Darkness followed, with shadowy figures looming behind.

Will he really do what he says?

"Don't be silly, we are slaves! How could slaves regain human status? He's definitely lying to us!"

"But...we're already slaves. How much worse can things get? We have no way to leave this island."

"That's right, if he really does that, we still have a chance to go back to our families alive!"

"Alive...?"

The crowd chattered.

"All right!"

An aged and weary voice, yet remarkably resolute, rang out.

"Regardless, let's catch up first; there's no point in discussing it here!"

"Even if he lied to us, our future life will definitely not be worse than it is now."

"If he really did it... cough cough cough!"

The old man spat out a mouthful of thick, bloody phlegm to the side, and only continued speaking after stabilizing his breathing.

"We will thoroughly implement the will of the one named [Ross], and we will regard him as the only god!"

"This island will become an island where miracles are born, and Ross's will will surely inspire this sea!!"

"Gods..."

In the very center of the crowd, a young voice suddenly rang out.

"Grandpa As, I don't think the title 'god' sounds nice."

The crowd parted to make way, revealing the timid, skinny little boy who had been hiding.

"I...I'm so sorry!!!"

An old man named As approached, squatted down, and looked kind.

"Don't be afraid. You heard what Lord Ross said. You shouldn't be afraid of elders. We are equal."

"me……"

Encouraged by the old man, the skinny boy closed his eyes and shouted as if he were risking everything:

“I am a slave locked deep in the second block.”

"Lord Ross was passing by when he heard my cries for help and rescued me. He even took me to get some roast meat, which was free and fresh!"

“Me too!” the young man raised his hand.

“I’m a slave in the Third District! Locked up in a bar to ‘work’!” the charismatic woman raised her hand.

"I was also rescued by Lord Ross!"

"I……"

"Okay, quiet down."

As raised his hand and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"You tell me."

The skinny boy swallowed hard: "I just feel that Lord Ross is like the knight prince in the story, and he also seems like the sun god who heard our cries."

"Before my mother left, she told me a fairy tale. She said that the sun god is a god who will liberate everything and bring freedom."

"Therefore, I think the title 'god' is too simplistic. Lord Ross should be a combination of god, knight, and prince!"

"The other gods didn't come to our rescue, but Lord Ross heard our call and came!"

“Other kings are enslaving us, reducing us to slaves.”

"Lord Ross, like the prince in fairy tales riding a warhorse, used his sword to defeat evil monsters and save innocent civilians!"

Listening to the kid's illogical and nonsensical words, As pondered for a moment.

“He’s right. If Lord Ross can fulfill all his promises, then he is a god-king who surpasses even the gods, the most valiant warrior from the sun!”

"Everyone, if we can survive, and even thrive, we must carve a statue of Lord Ross in the square!"

"I am a sculptor. If I can live as a commoner, I will sculpt a statue in the shortest amount of time, even if I don't sleep!"

"Me too, I'll help you!!"

Seeing the hopeful expressions on everyone's faces, As sighed inwardly.

"Lord Ross, this is all I can do for now, though it pales in comparison to the debt of gratitude you owe me for saving my life."

'But I hope to have the honor of carrying out your will and living on in the name of Ross.'

"Let's go. If Lord Ross loses, I will risk my life to get him safely off this island!"

……

Wang Zhi's Villa

Kaido was taking a nap in the small garden when he noticed footsteps approaching and opened his eyes to look.

“That took a long time, Ross.”

"There's nothing we can do. There are just too many small fry, and inevitably a few sharks are mixed in with them."

Ross's clothes were tattered, and he was unharmed, but in many places his skin showed signs of healing and was pinkish.

As she walked past Kaido, petals scattered in her wake.

"This stench is thick with blood..."

Kaido turned to the side, propped his head up with his right hand, and clicked his tongue as he watched Ross's retreating figure:

"That's really terrifying. They're deliberately suppressing their bloodlust and power."

"Hey, Ross! You're a complete monster!!"

Rose continued walking, the back of his blade lightly tapping his shoulder.

"I'll take that as a compliment, Kaido."

"After all..."

"Only monsters can survive in this era."

"Am I right, Wang Zhi?"

"Hehehe~"

The villa's main gate was kicked open from the inside.

Ye Shai swung the knife several times until the tip pointed at the ground again.

The door panel that was flying towards Ross split into several pieces and flew to his side.

Upon seeing the main course appear, Ross knew that the main course had been served and no longer suppressed his appetite.

"Come on, Wang Zhi!"

Seeing Ross tear his shirt and hold out his hands, Wang Zhi was puzzled.
