One Piece: I Weave the Pirate Codex with My Zanpakuto

"You're still so greedy for money, trying to play tricks at a critical moment like this."

"Oh my god~ This is the greatest pirate in the world right now~"

Rose instantly channeled Kizaru's spirit, his mouth twisted and his eyes squinting.

Seeing this, Roger gave up on asking any further questions.

"Never mind, Rayleigh, have Jabba bring the gift over."

Gift?

Ross was puzzled; why would Roger give him a gift?

The sun rose in the west?

Shortly after, Jabba entered the coffee shop, carrying the blue-haired imp in his arms.

"Bucky, he is your biological father!"

Ross: !

Wait a minute, these guys are going to screw themselves over!

Olvia: ?

Son?

Hana Hanafuda grinned, gloating, "I never thought you had a son, Ross! La da da da~~!"

"This brat must be your son."

After Jabba handed the kid to Ross, Roger stood up with a smile, his hand on the man's shoulder radiating an aura of dominance.

"Our Roger Pirates have finally helped him find his long-lost father, you certainly won't deny that, right?"

Ross lifted Bucky up and they stared at each other in silence.

The tiny Bucky tilted his head, his red nose gleaming slightly.

"Ross, is he really your son?"

Olvia had recovered from her initial shock and whispered in the man's ear.

"But this is so unrealistic! Your hair is dark brown, his hair is blue, and he even has a nose. Is this even real?"

Don't pinch my nose!

Little Bucky, with his childish voice, slapped the girl's hand away.

"Are you really my father?"

Ross's lips twitched.

Getting Bucky is definitely a good thing, just like Cao Cao couldn't do without Diao Chan, he also longed to have Bucky.

but……

Why can't he be happy?

"What do you say?"

Bucky blinked, mimicking Ross's earlier gesture of raising his index finger.

"I don't know, but Captain Roger and the others are definitely right."

Ross composed himself and forced a smile.

"Roger, thank you for reuniting my son and me."

Roger laughed heartily: "No problem, no problem~ I, Roger, love helping others the most."

"That's settled then, let's go. A scene of filial piety between father and son isn't really suitable for our Roger Pirates."

"and many more."

Ross gripped the hilt of Yeshai's knife, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"You bastard, go pay the bill before you leave. Don't think I don't know what you're planning to do."

"If you dare to run, I'll go to the port right now and smash your ship to pieces."

While Roger was muttering about paying the bill, Rayleigh, who had been hesitant to speak for a long time, patted Ross on the shoulder.

"Ross, I have something I'd like to ask you, it's about Shakky."

"Shall we talk privately?"

Chapter 60: Operations in the Name of the Great Pirate Ross

The back door of the Mermaid Cafe —

I walked quickly past the trash cans and stopped deep in the alley.

Ross, with his back to the abandoned wooden crate, asked Rayleigh what had happened.

"You've probably heard that the current emperor of Kuja is Toritoma, right?"

Rayleigh first brought up trivial matters, but after seeing Ross nod, he returned to the main topic, his expression showing a hint of helplessness.

"Shakky doesn't really want to stay on Amazon Lily, saying that the place is too boring, and I can't possibly let her join Roger's crew."

"I've been contacting them more than ten times a day lately, and every time it's about this..."

Rayleigh raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

"She's in the Hive... Doesn't Miracle Island have a bar? That's what I wanted to ask you to do."

Ross suddenly remembered the shady inn in the Sabaody Archipelago from the original novel.

"What the Roger Pirates are about to do is dangerous. Once the news that she is related to me gets out, I'm worried that the World Government will target her again."

Rayleigh did not hide his concerns and spoke truthfully:

"Anyway, it's all about wasting time. I want her to go back to Beehive Island, which is your Miracle Island, to continue her previous business."

"I just heard that you're planning to make a trip to the amusement park, so I wanted to ask you to go to Amazon Lily."

"Take Xia Qi with you on the return trip. She's quite capable and can at least help take care of your girlfriend."

Ross didn't rush to refuse or agree, but paused for a moment before speaking:

“Taking a detour to pick up Shakky is no problem, Rayleigh. In exchange, you must stay on Miracle Island after the Roger Pirates finish their voyage.”

"Become a security guard there."

Rayleigh breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation:

"That's no problem. I should be with Shakky after all the voyages are over."

"We can send Roger and the others to Miracle Island sometime; who knows, we might even become neighbors in the future, hahaha~~"

Seeing Rayleigh's brightened expression, Ross finally couldn't resist.

"Rayle, you'd better take good care of Roger's health these next few years."

"My ability can only heal external injuries; some terminal illnesses are incurable."

Rayleigh was stunned.

Ross patted the other person on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"The person this era is waiting for may not be Roger. Be prepared."

"That's all I can say. You should keep this to yourself. If you come across a skilled doctor later, ask them to examine Roger's body."

The regenerative power of the flesh-crushing creature can reconnect severed arms, and the possibility of limb regeneration in the future is not out of the question.

But he was helpless against internal diseases, at least the Flesh Drops and Return Path he obtained.

It would be best if Roger could live.

If there's really no other way, he has no other options.

He'd done everything he could. At worst, he'd wait until the other person died and see if he could use Soul Burial to drag them to join Rocks in death.

The thought had barely formed when Lox's voice echoed from inside the workshop.

"Save him my ass, Ross. After Roger dies, you can bring him in. At least I'll have some company."

Rayleigh gazed thoughtfully at Ross's retreating figure.

'Roger's body, that's certainly something to be concerned about...'

"Thanks, Ross. I'll keep that in mind."

……

Roger's pirate crew continued their voyage, but before leaving, Ross asked Roger to introduce him to Neptune, who was then just a general.

"That hairy giant fishman?"

Roger took out a Den Den Mushi and asked curiously, "What do you want with him?"

"Regarding the construction of Miracle Island, I'd like to bring in a group of merfolk to help."

Ross didn't elaborate much on the underwater money-making project; talking too much about things that haven't been accomplished will only lead to failure.

After hearing Ross's explanation, Roger didn't ask any more questions.

He still trusted the other person's character; he was far better than a scoundrel like Shiki.

He immediately dialed Neptune's Den Den Mushi and told him that Ross wanted to meet with him.

"...The great pirate Ross?"

The Den Den Mushi looked surprised.

"I didn't expect you to know someone like that, Roger. What does he want with me?"

Roger looked at Ross: "I don't know the specifics, but that guy is a trustworthy person."

"If the merfolk want to develop further, his territory might be a good choice."

After a brief pause, Roger considered his words for a few seconds and then added:

“I heard some of his ideas; after that island, they should make contact with the giants led by Harald.”

"In short, meeting him is not a bad thing. Even if you don't agree to the alliance, Ross won't do anything reckless."

The Den Den Mushi lowered its head in thought, and after a moment nodded in agreement.

"I will wait for him at the Fishman Culture Museum. Please tell him to take the Water Road to find me."

"I see."

Kacha---

The Den Den Mushi hung up, Roger patted Ross, and pointed to the oversized transparent pipe not far away.

"You should have this, right, Pele? Here it is, the Water Road, a fast route to different regions."

"Just tell the flight attendant where you plan to go."

"Then let's continue our journey. See you next time."

Roger ran excitedly toward the port, waving and shouting.

"Friends, the Roger Pirates are setting sail! We're going to find the legendary final destination!!"

"Set sail, Roger Pirates!"

As the group of people happily left, Olvia, holding little Bucky's hand, smiled.

"They seem to be a very happy group of people. It would be so much fun to go on an adventure with them, wouldn't it?"

"No, no, no, those idiots are just missing a screw. People who are missing a screw are happy no matter where they go, especially pirates."

Even so, Rose still managed a smile.

If he could, he would actually like to sail and adventure with Roger's pirate crew.

Roger has a very infectious personality, especially his optimistic attitude.

The other person always manages to drive away sadness and pain without you even realizing it.

"Let's go. There's still a lot to do. Let's try to return to Miracle Island before the end of this year."
