One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

Barrett was sent flying backwards in a sorry state, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth before Olvia could get close.

That's amazing!!

That man is the strongest person I have ever met!

Even General Douglas wasn't this strong!

No matter from which angle he attacked or what he used to attack, he couldn't make the man retreat even half a step.

Those legs felt as if they were rooted deep in the earth.

"That's enough for today. Let's go eat meat and then get some rest."

Ross tossed aside the tattered stick and turned to walk into the dense forest.

"Seven days. We're leaving in seven days, Barrett. You'd better plan your time accordingly."

"Yes, teacher."

……

Seven days later--

Wolfsburg, a nation where war never ends

"Rose, is it really okay to let him go alone?"

Olvia absentmindedly selected fruits and dry rations, her gaze occasionally drifting towards the center of Wolfsburg.

"Failure is a good thing. Only when a man experiences failure without being discouraged can he grow at the fastest speed."

Beside him, the red light in Ross's eyes flashed once every three seconds.

According to the information fed back by Observation Haki, Barrett's aura was not as strong as it had been at the beginning.

It's highly likely that he suffered a serious injury.

"Let him mess around. If he doesn't resolve his inner conflict, he'll want to come back here someday."

“Barrett would have gone crazy if the person he was looking for revenge against had been gone by then.”

Olvia sighed softly and casually handed the selected fruit to the vendor.

"A total of 23,000 Berries, thank you for your patronage!"

"Barrett Jr. is very competitive."

After paying and taking the paper bag, Olvia headed to the next supply point selling dried meat.

“We spent six days in the wild, and he challenged you every day, never giving up even when he knew he was going to lose.”

The thought of being challenged so frequently, almost like eating three meals a day, gave Ross a headache.

Barrett's belligerent nature runs deep, perhaps because he tasted the benefits of becoming an apprentice.

Once Barrett is certain he won't kill him, he will challenge him as soon as his stamina recovers.

After being knocked down, he was back to his energetic self in less than half an hour.

They can even continue their afternoon physical training.

Frankly, Ross didn't know how Luffy defeated Bullet in that One Piece movie.

Even if it's a theatrical kill like Shiki the Golden Lion...

That's a bit of a stretch.

After spending a few days together, Ross had a clear understanding of how fast Barrett was growing.

At first, he couldn't even withstand one of his sword strikes, but now he can dodge instinctively and occasionally even retaliate.

This is only a few days of cultivation; if it were years and months...

By the time Luffy sets sail, Ross still doesn't know how those "new era supernovas" will defeat Bullet.

Even if the theater attack were to strike again and Barrett were defeated, Ross didn't believe that the opponent could overcome him.

It is currently only the year 1485 of the Haiyuan calendar, which is still several decades away from the beginning of the original work.

At that time, he should have been wielding a mirror-like illusion in his left hand and a flowing blade like fire in his right?

Let alone Luffy, even if Im came, he would have to think twice about his own strength.

When I travel the world with my Bankai Ryujin Jakka, it won't be long before the oceans evaporate completely.

One Piece will become a thing of the past; Mountain Bandit King will be the new era's theme.

He then scattered the seven Zanpakuto around the world; finding all seven would allow him to summon Ross and fulfill his wish…

Ross shook his head, trying to shake off the increasingly off-topic thought.

Why does One Piece suddenly smell like Dragon Ball...?

"Ross, Ross?"

"What are you daydreaming about? Come on, let's go check out over there!"

"Okay, coming right away."

……

Meanwhile, in the center of Wolfsburg.

Barrett was covered in blood, and his exposed upper body was covered in wounds.

"What? Is this all you guys are good at?"

Looking at his former comrade spitting blood and howling at his feet, and glancing at the Douglas Medal on the other's chest, Barrett shook his head in disappointment.

"Why would you idiots betray me? You even tried to kill me for a medal."

"The teacher was right after all; sheep and tigers see the world differently."

"Barrett, you..."

Ignoring the taunts of the defeated dog beneath his feet, Barrett pressed down hard on the enemy's already broken ribs, pushing them towards his heart.

"I'm leaving here, and I know you can still hear me."

“This place is too small. I plan to follow that man to a wider world.”

"you……!"

boom--

Dust fell from his hand, and the face of the dead boy soldier still bore the mark of disbelief and shock.

It seems no one expected Barrett to rise again in such a short time.

"Barrett, welcome home!"

Just then, two squads of soldiers carrying spears and shields ran out from deep within the castle.

Barrett did not make any rash moves, patiently waiting for them to surround him.

As the group separated, a middle-aged man with a thick beard and blond hair walked out from the end of the road.

"General Douglas!" / "General Douglas!"

The same name, but it brings completely different feelings.

The former refers to the soldiers' unanimous shouts, their will fervent.

The latter was Barrett's calm gaze.

The general couldn't possibly be unaware of what was happening on the battlefield. When he was betrayed, besides his fellow young soldiers, there were also his own assault troops nearby.

But the traitor still received the Order of Douglas, which meant... he had probably been abandoned once again.

Just like now, he kills those traitors, but the general remains unmoved.

Douglas Gray narrowed his eyes and gently waved his right hand, signaling the soldiers to step back a little.

"Welcome home, Barrett. I was saddened for a long time when I heard the news of your death."

"You are my most beloved son..."

"Don't joke around."

Barrett looked at the man in front of him who was talking about raising him, his expression complicated.

"You adopted us only to brainwash us into becoming your young soldiers in battle."

"Even if they are sold as slaves, the price of a child is only slightly higher than that of an elderly person."

"So the little devils that never grow up are the most cost-effective consumables."

Douglas Gray's smile faded.

“You have never treated us as your sons.”

Barrett recounted what he had heard from Ross during that time.

"If you have one, why don't you send your son to join the Youth Army and become one of us?"

The smile on Douglas Gray's face vanished.

But the next moment, the smile reappeared.

“Barrett, you must have heard some rumors about this general…”

"Then let your son join the Youth Army!"

Barrett stared intently at the general. "I know you have a son the same age as me!"

“He’s deep inside the castle behind you. Those bastards who betrayed me said everything before they died.”

"They saw your family, they saw your real son!"

"They even fantasize that after receiving the medal, they can leave the Youth Corps and become your real sons."

"If it were me six days ago, I would definitely have thought the same thing..."

Thinking of Olvia, who had taken care of him for the past six days, and Ross, who had patiently guided him in his cultivation...

Barrett clenched his fist.

Eight years, from childhood to adulthood, excluding important mobilizations in public.

This was the first time he had seen the general at such close range.

But these six short days.

That man bathed with her, cultivated with her, ate with her, and patiently accepted her annoying challenges.

He would even point out where he went wrong during the challenge before going to bed.

"Get your soldiers out of here, General Douglas."

"I want to leave here, go to the high seas to challenge countless people stronger than me, and then surpass my teacher to become the strongest man in this ocean."

"This truly saddens this general,"

Douglas Gray sighed dramatically, and as he took a step back, the soldiers filled the gap once more.

"My eight years of nurturing kindness are less valuable than that of a stranger I've known for only six days!"

"Soldiers~"

"Execute the traitor."

Chapter 41 Totto Land

Huff, huff... cough!

Pulling the spear out of his abdomen, Barrett staggered a few steps and leaned against a pillar to barely keep his feet upright.

His vision was blurry, and the double images made him feel annoyed.

I'm too weak!

If it were a teacher, they could definitely take care of all the enemies within ten seconds!

Such a thought popped into Barrett's mind.
