One Piece: Rise of an Empire

“Eat Dess”

In his sleep, Des felt someone calling him, so he got up slowly and woke up.

"Hey, Des, what happened to you yesterday? You didn't go to do something with Ariel, did you? You slept all morning, and Ariel also slept all morning," Levi asked.

"What? I'm just tired"

Ariel didn't sleep well last night?Des thought.

Des walked slowly to the dining table, and also saw the listless Ariel.The two looked at each other without speaking.

In fact, Ariel is very gentle to other people, and sometimes careless, and she used to be like this with Des.But yesterday, Ariel also had a hot head yesterday, and she also felt very shy to do such a thing to Des.What's even worse is that Des didn't want to talk to her today.

"Ariel, did you not rest yesterday?"

It was Des who spoke. He still felt that he needed to care about his crew.

"Hmm," Ariel said resentfully.

Everyone didn't understand what happened between the two of them, and they all buried their heads in their meals.

"Oh, then eat well, we can't let you, an excellent navigator, have problems."

After hearing what Des said, Ariel rolled her eyes at Dess, lowered her head to eat, and ignored Dess.

Hela and Julie were also speechless when they heard Des's answer.It turns out that their captain's head is not very good.In fact, the earliest crew members could see that Ariel was special to Des, but Des never reacted.

Des looked at the people who were eating with their heads down, completely confused about what happened.

………………

Because it takes a long time to go to the capital of seven waters here, Des began to practice after eating.Des practice has never fallen behind.

Des's practice route has been arranged by Linlin, and now Des has mastered the overlord color winding.But the use is not very flexible.Thanks to Linlin's information.Otherwise, Des wouldn't have improved so fast.

Des thought that he is only 16 years old now, and his current strength should still have a lot of room for improvement. Linlin showed him that his current strength is still at S-level. According to Linlin, the system can only see the approximate strength of a person. S-level should correspond to pirates with a bounty of over [-] million.As for the SSS level, it should correspond to the world's strength ceiling.The level of the peak white beard Roger Karp and others, but this is just personal strength.Even SSS class can be killed by a group of S class.

Des knows that 16-year-old Luffy has just set out to sea. As the protagonist, his strength is far worse than the current Dess.But Des thought of a genius Douglas Barrett who was stronger than him.I used to know each other in the Roger Pirates, but we didn't meet each other because he was very unsocial. Des greeted him, but the other party ignored him.But now he seems to be in prison in the city of advance.

Des felt a gaze looking at him.Des turned his head and met Ariel's eyes.

"What's wrong? Ariel?" Des asked.

"It's okay, just passing by"

Hearing Ariel's answer, Des continued training.

In fact, Ariel herself didn't know what was wrong, and she wasn't like this before, but since Linlin appeared, she seemed to have a sense of crisis in her heart.This woman can help Des even more than her.It seems that my own toys no longer only belong to me.That indescribable feeling.

Ariel asked Hela, and Hela told Ariel that she might be in love with Des.

Like it?should be.

But since when?
Ariel thought for a long time, and suddenly thought of the scene of seeing Des for the first time.Ariel is not a kind person either, for some reason, she would take Des in.Maybe it was at that time that she had a different feeling for this boy.

The days when she and Des ran the flower shop were the times when Des accompanied her through the lowest point of her life.At the same time, it was Des who changed her plan to live in Rogge Town for the rest of her life, and went to sea with Des.

Ariel is a very smart woman, she figured it out very quickly, Des has a long way to go in the future, and they are still young.There's no need to separate their feelings now, it's good to be with Des as a partner all the time.

"Hey, Des, we seem to be in some trouble."

At this time Levi came over, and Ariel's memories were interrupted.Des looked at Levi and said, "What's the matter?"

Before Des finished speaking, a shell shot around the ship, causing the ship to shake violently.

"Well, I probably know."

After speaking, everyone walked to the board of the ship, looking at the pirate group attacking them, Des was a little speechless.Could it be that their luck in traveling has not been very good?
Because this ship is temporary, it doesn't have a pirate flag, it just looks like an ordinary merchant ship, so it's no wonder that it attracts pirates.

But Des is not in a good mood now.

Listening to the provocation of the pirate on the opposite side, Des used the moon step and flew into the air.

"Vine, Elephant Punch"

Armed with the overlord's color, the pirate's ship was punched to the bottom of the sea by Des.

And everyone on the boat was also fainted by the influence of Desi's domineering look.

Des slowly landed on the boat, venting his emotions and feeling a lot more comfortable.

Des said to everyone.

"keep sailing"

...............

not far away.

"Vice Admiral Aokiji, the wave of pirates we were targeting was defeated by a merchant ship. The person on board should be the captain of the Des Dragon Slaying Pirates who was offered a bounty a year ago, Elion Des."

"Huh? Elianders? The one who hasn't heard from him for a year should be a troublesome guy."

The person on board is the current vice admiral Aokiji, but Aokiji is known as a monster-level person in the navy, and now his strength has wirelessly approached that of the admiral.Now at the same level as Karp, he no longer follows Karp.

"Lieutenant General Aokiji, are we going to arrest them?" the adjutant asked.

"If it's a pirate, then he must be captured"

At this time, Aokiji insisted on burning justice and was full of enthusiasm for the future of the navy.The attitude towards pirates must be captured.

"Borrow the boat," the adjutant ordered.

Although Aokiji had heard Des's strength from Karp's words, Aokiji was not an ordinary lieutenant general, but he would not underestimate his opponent either.

The warship slowly met the merchant ship of Des.

"Hey, no way, just after defeating a wave of pirates, a remarkable person came."

Des looked excitedly at the opposite warship. He naturally knew the people on the warship, the future admiral, Aokiji.But now he is still a lieutenant general.According to Linlin, he will leave the navy in the future.

At this time, Levi, Hella, Ariel, and Julie were also ready to fight.They also knew that the opponent was no ordinary opponent.

Slowly the two ships came together.

"No way, how lucky is my luck to meet such a big man as the monster in the navy, Lieutenant Admiral Aokiji, in the first half of the little great voyage?" Des said.

"No, you are not an ordinary person either, Alianders, former member of the Roger Pirates, and now the head of the Des Pirates, once escaped from the capture of Mr. Garp. Shouldn't a character like you be active in the New World? What is your purpose here?" Aokiji said.

"What purpose can I have, I just want to live a leisurely life."

"Then I feel that the life in the city of advancement is the life that a person like you should have."
