One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

He wore metal gloves on both hands, and had a sickle and a meteor hammer at his waist.

He wore a knee-length black trench coat over only a pair of loose-fitting solid-color trousers.

"Just ignore him, Hanahanafuda boss!"

"You're just a brat, get out of my way! This is Hana Hanafuda, the great pirate of the New World!"

"Listen up, kid! Don't get scared and wet your pants! We're the infamous Lizard Pirates, hahahaha!!!"

"It's a small-time pirate crew I've never heard of before."

Barrett's fists clashed, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"Let's fight, you cowardly pirates!!"

Barrett charged forward like a brute; even before he got close, his explosive spirit had already set off.

"Conqueror's Haki!?"

Hana Hanazha looked surprised.

"The one who unleashed that domineering aura just now was actually you, you brat?!"

Raise your arm to block Barrett's punch, rotate your elbow, and lower your forearm to block the enemy's kick again.

He clenched his fists and grabbed Barrett's calf, slamming him against a tree beside him.

"cough!!"

Without giving the brat any chance to react, Hana Hanafuda unleashed a powerful kick, imbued with Armament Haki.

"Get out of my way, brat. Don't get in my way. I'm in a hurry to attend a tea party."

"Ok?"

Hana Hanafuda raised a slight brow on her right as she looked at the enemy clutching her boots.

"Oh~~ You caught it? How about this one~?"

A thick, long tail suddenly attacked from the shadows, and Barrett, who was caught off guard, was sent flying.

Barrett quickly stood up, spitting out blood, and glared fiercely at the enemy.

The enemy is very strong!

Although I'm not as good as my teacher, I'm much better than I am now!

"The teacher said that everything that cannot kill him will push him toward becoming the strongest."

"I really like this sentence."

Barrett adjusted his breathing, stomped his right foot forward, and launched another fearless charge.

"If you're afraid to challenge me just because you're stronger than me, then I might as well go back to the land of endless war."

"I chose to go to sea with my teacher in order to become stronger!"

Seeing the boy's increasingly fervent expression, Hana Hanafuda raised an eyebrow and asked in return:

"Hey, what grudge do we have? Or did I kill your family?"

"If you want to challenge the leader of Hanahanafuda, you'll have to get past us first!"

"You really startled me by unleashing your Conqueror's Haki just now. Killing a brat who's awakened the potential of a king seems like a pretty satisfying thing, huh? Heh heh heh~"

The pirates moved from behind Hana Hanafuda to in front of them, grinning maliciously as they brandished their weapons.

"Kid, let your uncles teach you how to respect your pirate elders."

……

Half an hour later, Ross, who was far away near Cake Castle, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"Something seems off about Barrett."

Ross raised his head, unleashing his Observation Haki into the distance.

“An enemy, Olvia, come up here.”

"Coming right now!"

Olvia dropped the popsicle, jumped onto Ross's back, and wrapped her arms tightly around the man's neck.

Ross unleashed his Flesh Droplet technique and rode a giant ray towards the location locked by his Observation Haki.

"Wait a minute, uncle, where are you going?" Perospero shouted from below, having just stepped out of the chocolate and candy store.

"Something seems to have happened to Barrett. Let's go check out the Temptation Forest."

Chapter 46 Davy Back Fight

"Hey, what's wrong with this kid?!"

"Damn it, let's kill him for real!"

A pirate wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm to the side.

That was the result of his carelessness, which led to him being hit by Barrett's punch.

If it weren't for his Armament Haki defense, he would probably have broken many of his teeth.

"Wait, everyone move aside."

Hana Hanafuda stopped her serious companion and took off the scythe and meteor hammer from her waist.

Looking at the little devil who was slumped on the ground not far away, struggling to get up.

"Your name is Barrett, right? Want to join my pirate crew?"

"I really like tough guys. You little brat, you'll definitely grow up to be a super tough guy."

"La da da da ha~~"

"Join us?"

Barrett leaned against the tree trunk to get up, his body swollen and bruised, his eyes barely able to open a slit.

"A bunch of lowly pirate crews, phew!"

Barrett suppressed the pain in his body with deep breaths, slapped his cheeks a few times, and forcibly woke up his somewhat dizzy mind.

"Anyway, the teacher will cover for me, so the most important thing is to have a good fight."

The murmurs echoed through the woods, and Ross nodded with satisfaction as he listened to the whispers carried by the wind in the sky.

He liked Barrett's personality; he'd go all out as long as he wasn't killed.

Anyway, with him there to back him up, the enemy can't really kill him.

"Ross, aren't you going to help?"

Looking at the battle below, Olvia's eyes showed worry.

After spending several months together, she had come to regard this stubborn boy as her own younger brother.

"No rush."

Using his Observation Haki, Ross sensed that Barrett's aura was still strong.

Those injuries may seem serious, but they are nothing to Barrett, who often challenges him.

Ross knew exactly where the boy's limits were, and what he had to do was to step in only after Barrett had broken those limits time and time again.

Only in this way can young people grow up in a shorter period of time.

Looking down at the lizard king, who was playing like a cat with a mouse, a thoughtful look flashed in Ross's eyes.

Hana Hanafuda, he remembered that this man was an unknown Shichibukai who had been defeated by Ace.

The only redeeming quality is that he's Kaido's brother, and his daughter and son are the future Flying Six.

Runti and Page Van.

Any more news about him...

Ross racked his brains for a long time, but couldn't find any more useful information about the other side.

"almost."

Suddenly, the abruptly lowered air volume interrupted his thoughts, and Ross instructed Olvia to stay quietly on the manta ray.

He gripped the wild sunflower tightly, took a step outward, and plummeted straight down.

huh~~~

On the ground, Hanahuaza, having lost patience, picked up her weapon, intending to finish off the brat, when she was suddenly drawn by the sound of something falling from the sky.

"This is……"

"Teacher, cough cough cough..."

Barrett struggled but couldn't get up; his muscles were showing signs of exhaustion and weakness.

"I lost again."

"You're only eight years old. It would be strange if you beat me."

A man's soft laughter drifted through the smoke and dust.

"Hana Hanafuda, a pirate with some fame in the New World, whose hobby is searching for Zoan-type Devil Fruits."

Hana Hana's expression turned solemn, and her entire body unconsciously transformed into a beast as she retreated.

Its height rapidly increased from over five meters to nine meters, and its human head transformed into a lizard shape, with a forked purple tongue constantly flicking in and out.

Dense, rhomboid green scales appeared on the surface of the skin.

"Men, it looks like some formidable opponent has arrived!"

"My name is Ross."

A pair of black military boots emerged first from the dust, and Ross, holding a knife in one hand, stood five meters away from the giant lizardman.

"Miracle Island, oh, the new owner of what you call Beehive Island."

"Ross? That name sounds so familiar..." muttered the pirate behind Hana Hanafuda.

"Ah! I remember now, he's the great pirate who killed Wang Zhi, the founder of the Pirate Cult, not long ago!"

"So that's it! It's the great pirate who killed the pirate admiral! No wonder, no wonder... What?!"

"Hey, Hanahanafuda boss, let's run away! This man is no match for you!"

Hana Hanafuda stared intently at the smiling man.

I didn't even dare to blink, let alone breathe loudly.

It's locked!!

If you move, you'll be beheaded!

"La da da da~ Is this the aura of a great pirate in the New World?"

Hana Hanafuda tried to mask her nervousness with laughter.

But what they received was the slow approach of the enemy.

"Let's play a turn-based Davy Back Fight. I'll slash you once, and then you slash me once."

"Whoever can't take it anymore loses. The loser has to disband their pirate crew and become the other's subordinate. What do you think of this game?"

The speed at which the snake's tongue was swallowed and ejected by Hanahuazha increased.

Can I refuse?

"What do you say?"

Ross stopped in front of Hanafza, and the blade in his hand gradually turned black as it was enveloped in Armament Haki.

"Are you ready?"

"What a monster..."

Hana Hanazha felt his back soaked with cold sweat, yet he couldn't explain the immense pressure of being locked onto by Qi Po alone.
