One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

"Yes, Lord Darius, I ate the Cold Fruit, which can regulate the body temperature. However, we have not yet experimented on how low the temperature can be lowered. But it is still possible to freeze a person into an ice sculpture." As she spoke, the serpentine demonstrated her ability. She picked up a glass of water and quickly released cold air from her palms, freezing the glass of water and the glass.

"Oh, the Parahuman Cold Fruit? Is it a lower-level fruit of the Ice Fruit?" After Darius saw the ability of the Serpentine, he immediately felt that this ability was very familiar and asked, "Does your ability have to touch an object to use it? Can't you use abilities like launching ice crystals through the air?"

"This, I haven't developed it to this point yet, maybe in the future!" The beauty snake said a little aggrievedly, and secretly flirted with Darius, but Darius completely ignored it, looked at Bol and asked: "What about you! What is your ability?"

Bol said somewhat awkwardly: "My ability is the Balloon Fruit, which can turn my body into a balloon and float, and it seems to be able to deflect cannonballs."

"Balloon Fruit?" Darius became a little interested when he heard about this devil fruit. He also said that it could make the body float. He wondered if it could float to the Sky Island!

Finally, he looked at Skoda, a young man in his twenties, and said respectfully: "Captain, I ate the superhuman-type Jumping Fruit, which gave me extremely strong jumping abilities."

"Uh..." Darius was speechless after hearing this. This ability didn't seem to be very strong, but it was better to have it than to have it nothing!

"I understand." Darius looked at everyone and said, "Hurry up and ask the coating workers to speed up the coating! The navy will definitely encircle and suppress us later."

This time, the Noxus Pirates had only completed a small part of the coating work on the Sabaody Archipelago. In order to ensure safe coating, the pirates directly captured more than a dozen coating craftsmen and also asked the Noxus Pirates' ship workers to start learning this craft.

"Yes." After Ashen and others responded, seeing that Darius had no more instructions, they also withdrew one after another.

After Ashen and the others left, Darius was ready to summon Tibers. When he came out of the cabin, he found the beautiful snake looking at him with a smile. Darius looked at her calmly and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"No, I just want to stay with Lord Darius!" said the serpent beauty, and she moved her delicate body closer, her eyes full of affection.

Darius felt helpless when looking at the serpentine. The serpentine was indeed very beautiful and young, a few years younger than Darius. She was talented, capable, and good-looking. However, on her beautiful face, she wore a mask on her right eye, covering the face near her right eye.

Darius had also seen the face under her mask, which had very serious marks of branding. According to the Serpentine, she was injured when she was young and had just debuted after being captured by her enemies. It was also because of this injury that Darius was not very interested in the Serpentine.

After all, Darius is a man who likes beautiful women, and the Serpentine is indeed very beautiful, but her face was once disfigured.

However, now she is also a strong cadre under Darius, and compared with A Shen and others, she is young, has good talent, and is now a devil fruit user. Darius is rather hesitant about his feelings for her.

Feeling the Serpentine holding his arm, Darius did not push her away. After all, as long as she didn't take off her mask, the Serpentine was definitely a great beauty. But Darius already knew what she looked like under the mask, so he felt a little uncomfortable inside.

When they arrived on deck, Darius ordered his men to leave the deck temporarily because he didn't know whether Tibers was a bear.

"Lord Darius, what are you going to do?" asked the serpentine with some curiosity.

"You'll know when you see me." Darius replied calmly, stretched out his hand, and cast a skill: "Wrath of Tibers..."

The next second, a rune appeared on the ground. Darius thought that Tibers would be summoned out of the rune, but the next second, a meteor slid down from the sky and quickly fell onto the plywood.

There was a tremor with a 'boom' sound, and the whole ship shook. Darius could see clearly at this time that a giant bear about four meters tall appeared, with flames burning on its body. Some words appeared next to it: 'Tibers, level 1, 0/100 experience points to the next upgrade...'

All of a sudden, the appearance of Tibers aroused the vigilance of the surrounding pirates. The serpentine looked at him and immediately said, "Don't be nervous, this is the pet that the captain just summoned."

"Is this Lord Darius's pet?" "Just now I saw it seemed to fall from the sky!" "What kind of ability does the captain have?" "Idiot, don't ask, the captain is so powerful, what's the use of having a pet! And this bear looks very powerful!" The pirates around saw the giant bear that suddenly appeared and its ferocious appearance, and they all talked about it immediately.

Darius smiled as he listened, and walked towards Tibers and said, "Tibers, can you speak?"

"Ahhh..." Tibers heard the bear's roar coming out of his mouth, and it was obvious that the bear could not speak.

Darius didn't find it strange. Even his clone couldn't speak, let alone a bear. He continued to ask, "Then can you understand what I say?"

Tibers nodded as he listened. Darius said, "Then can you shrink your body a little?"

After Darius finished speaking, Tibers' body began to shrink rapidly, and soon became a creature less than half a meter tall, looking like a teddy bear. The flames on his body disappeared, and his eyes were no longer ferocious, but rather cute.

"This..." The beautiful snake was shocked by the contrast of Tiberus at this time, and at the same time felt in her heart...

"How cute!" At this moment, Liuli and the others also ran out, and were immediately delighted to see Tiberus who had become the size of a teddy bear. As girls, especially canaries, although they were pirates, they had not seen many bloody things, and naturally retained the preferences of normal girls.

When Darius saw Liuli and the other girls coming, he also said, "Liuli! You came just in time. Its name is Tibers. From now on, it is also a member of our ship."

"Master, was the noise just now caused by this little bear?" Liuli also asked. Just now, they were playing cards in the room, and suddenly they felt the vibration of the ship. They ran out to take a look. Seeing Tibers standing on two feet, she wanted to hug him, but she was afraid of being attacked by the little bear. She looked at Darius pitifully and said, "Master, can I hug it?"

Darius smiled gently, picked up Tibers with one hand, and threw him to Liuli to hold. Liuli also liked him very much. She rubbed her face against Tibers' fur and said, "It's really soft! This little bear."

Tibers was a little dissatisfied. He turned his bear head to the side and looked at Darius with a resentful look.

Darius also smiled and said to Liuli: "Although it can't speak, Tibers can understand what we say, and its fighting power! I guess even Ah Shen may not be its opponent, so you'd better not treat it as an ordinary pet."

Liuli was a little surprised when she heard this. She looked at the little bear in front of her and asked in surprise, "Is it so powerful?"

"It will be even stronger in the future." Darius said calmly. After all, Tibers is also a living creature, and unlike his clones, clones will disappear when the time comes, but Tibers's Fury is a one-time skill. He is a pet, so Tibers should be able to eat devil fruits. I just don't know if he can learn Haki. After all, in One Piece, even animals can learn Haki.

On the other side, at the headquarters of the Navy, Marineford.

Due to the death of Admiral Sora in the Sabaody Archipelago, the news could not be blocked at all. However, the World Government tried its best to minimize the harm of this incident. At the same time, it also increased the bounty on the Red Earl and all the members of the Noxus Pirates, and appointed Admiral Sengoku as acting marshal.

And after Admiral Sengoku rushed back from the New World, he was immediately arranged to take charge of the headquarters. The death of Grand Marshal Kong this time was a huge blow to the morale of the navy. Many people in the navy hoped to avenge Grand Marshal Kong and bring the Noxus Pirates and Red Earl Redfield to justice.

The navy can still roughly grasp the movements of the Noxus Pirates. After all, the Noxus Pirates have dozens of warships and tens of thousands of troops, so it is easy to track them. However, it is not easy to track the Red Earl, after all, this guy is a lone ranger.

The next day, the Noxus Pirates received their new bounty, and at the same time, the news of the death of Admiral Sora spread across the sea.

"Marshal Sora, in the Sabaody Archipelago, fought fiercely with the great pirate Red Count Redfield and the great pirate Darius. Unfortunately, he died, but he also seriously injured Redfield and Darius, and they will pay a heavy price... Now, Admiral Sengoku will temporarily serve as the acting marshal of the navy, and he will definitely bring the criminals to justice..."
