One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"I'll take what I need to eat, and I also brought other things with me."

Olvia took the box and spoon, feeling inexplicably disappointed.

"I collected these things on my way here this afternoon. Miracle Island is still in the early stages of development, so there are very few snacks available."

Chocolate, oranges, apples, daifuku, sakura mochi...

Olvia stared blankly at Ross, who was whispering instructions to her, and a feeling of impulse that she did not understand slowly rose in her heart.

"Fruit and chocolate can last for a while, but daifuku and sakura mochi will be your energy source for tomorrow morning."

After sorting and putting away the snacks he had hastily scavenged, Ross then reached out and wiped the cream from the corner of the girl's mouth.

"Translating historical texts is a tedious and tiring task, and I understand your impatience."

"But you should know that the historical text will not be damaged if it is left here. If you damage your health, the translation progress will only be slower."

"If you can't figure it out, go outside for a walk, look at the sun and the moon, and find a hillside to lie down on."

"Listen to the whisper of the wind in your ears, and don't let history become your whole life."

Olvia lowered her head and ate her cake, trying her best to suppress her increasingly rapid heartbeat.

She wanted to say something, but...

Seeing that the girl didn't speak, Ross wasn't in a hurry. He took the cake, put it down, and took Olvia's hand as they walked outside.

"Hey? Wait a minute, Ross, where are you taking me?"

Soon, the two went outdoors, and Ross bent down and picked up Olvia.

Armament Haki gathered and released under his feet time and time again, propelling his body to leap higher into the sky.

Binding Path No. 73: Mountain-Reversing Crystal.

Armament Haki rapidly transformed and solidified, instantly forming an inverted triangular defensive array in mid-air.

Ross put Olvia down and lay back down.

Girls learn by example.

"The moon looks beautiful from this altitude, doesn't it? I discovered this a few nights ago."

"Yes, it's very beautiful..."

As Ross looked up at the moon, Olvia, who was not paying attention, quietly turned her head and glanced at the handsome face beside her from time to time.

I gently placed my right hand on the area where my heart was, feeling the heartbeat getting faster and faster inside.

Calm down, Olvia!

Olvia, struggling to suppress her inner impulses, dared not look at Ross any longer and forced herself to look up at the sky.

She looked at the beautiful moonlight the man had described.

but……

For some reason, Olvia saw Ross's image on the moon.

"Hey, Rose~~"

"What?" Ross didn't turn his head, still looking at the moonlight.

"I...I like..."

Just then, a night breeze blew by.

When the wind died down, Ross looked at the girl who had sat up, her eyes sparkling and her pretty face flushed.

Did you just say something?

"The wind was too strong just now, I couldn't hear very clearly."

Olvia froze, her big eyes switching to tiny, beady ones as she blinked frantically.

"I...I didn't say anything."

Is that so?

Ross didn't think much of it and turned back to continue admiring the moonlight.

"You idiot!"

"Rose is a complete idiot!!!"

"I want to go back to sleep, hurry up and take me downstairs, I don't want to look at the moon anymore!"

"Hmph! It's not pretty at all!"

……

Meanwhile, in a tent not far from the treasure vault.

Asura zipped up his jacket and muttered to himself:

"Lord Ross is really something, he shouldn't be playing dumb at a time like this."

"Even if you didn't hear it at this point, you shouldn't say you didn't hear it. Just go and kiss her."

"Indeed, young people are still too young."

In the shadows behind the tent, a tiny, milky-white ghost shook its head.

'Sure enough, old people who aren't stupid become shrewd.'

……

Mid-June, 1485 (Haiyuan Calendar).

【New World, Miracle Island】

"This is Beehive Island, oh no, it should be Miracle Island, right? It feels different from before."

Hearing the discussions among the pirates around him, Perospero lowered his hat brim and quickly disembarked.

"Everyone stays on guard on the ship; I can deliver the invitations by myself."

"But Lord Perospero!! Um... please be careful."

Only after Perospero disappeared into the coconut grove with his candy cane did the Big Mom Pirates breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's really scary, that brat Perospero."

"Yes, yes, I heard that Lady Lingling is now entrusting him with handling many things."

"I've heard about it too. It's something from the underworld, isn't it? Tsk tsk tsk, I think when I was thirteen I was still competing to see who could pee the farthest."

"Who can argue with that? Lord Perospero's maturity is inseparable from his experience in the underworld."

"..."

Shortly after, Ross, who was standing next to the church, received intelligence that the Big Mom Pirates had landed.

"Perospero?"

"Slow down, slow down, Shanks~"

Ginny caught up with Shanks, who was running around like a headless chicken, picked him up, and carried him to Ross's recliner.

"Why can't you talk properly, you little idiot? You're running so smoothly, it's really strange."

"Yes, Uncle. Charlotte's eldest son landed on Miracle Island half an hour ago. It was Uncle Gil who brought the information. His ghost seems to be following Perospero."

Ross: ...

Sure enough, Bastard couldn't shake his spying habit...

Chapter 33 Come here, Shanks, call me Dad~ Dad~

Just as he finished exercising, Ross picked up a towel to wipe away the sweat.

"Eee-yah-yah~~~"

After embracing Shanks, Ross curiously asked Ginny why Rose Perot had come to the island.

Ginny took out her intelligence notebook.

"It seems to be Charlotte Linlin's tea party, which is coming soon."

Lingling's tea party?

For some reason, Ross suddenly had a bad feeling.

When he finally found the source of his bad feeling, it turned out to be his past contact with Stussy.

Lingling is very interested in you!

Oh no, could that woman be after me...?

"I recommend you go, uncle."

Ginny put on her glasses and helped Ross analyze the pros and cons.

"Although this tea party is nominally just a dinner party, I suspect that it may have other purposes hidden behind it."

"For example, the exchange of power for money in the underworld."

Turning the notebook around, Ginny pointed to the newspaper information she had collected.

"The Tottoland Sea is quite famous in the underworld, and many underground merchants join the World Trade Circle because of the name BIG MOM."

"Because these are all shady transactions, very little information gets out."

"However, I still managed to get some information from Vice President Morgans in your name, Uncle."

"Charlotte Linlin, her businesses have no taboos, from the zero-cost slave trade to the arms trade that manipulates the course of war, they are involved in everything."

"Some nobles from various kingdoms are willing to spend tens of millions of Berries just to get an invitation letter, all for that one letter."

Ross nodded thoughtfully, while distracted by teasing Shanks.

"Come on, Shanks, call me Dad~ Dad~~"

Shanks blinked and continued grinning foolishly.

"Dad~ Dad~~"

"Hey! Hehehe~~"

"That brat!"

Ross chuckled and pinched Shanks' nose.

"You're quite adept at taking advantage without any instruction; you can run and jump, but why is it so hard for you to speak!"

"Uncle, please focus your attention on me!"

Ginny walked up to Ross, grabbed the man's cheeks with both hands, and pulled them to the sides.

“I can’t say that.”

"Honestly, can't they all be a little more mature?!" Ginny put her hands on her hips and glared angrily at Ross.

Shanks raised his chubby little hand and rubbed Ross's face.

"No, it hurts, Dad!"

"Wow! Shanks can call me 'Dad' now!"

Ross ignored Ginny, who was trembling with anger, and excitedly raised Shanks.

"Come on, say it again, Dad~ Dad~"

"Hey! Hehehe~~"

Ross: ...

Is this kid faking it...?

"I! Said! Ross! Uncle...?"

Looking at the coupon with a cake design handed to her, Ginny blinked, and her anger vanished instantly.

"The first village in the ideal land has been renovated, and a very delicious cake shop has opened there."

"This is a cake voucher given to me by the shop owner. It allows me to eat all the cream cakes I want."
