One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

At the same time, Darius was also thinking about what kind of devil fruit would be better for Tibers. He would definitely not want a rubbish devil fruit. Darius' favorite was the magma fruit of Akainu in the original work. This devil fruit had strong destructive power and was very compatible with Tibers' attributes. Of course, devil fruits such as the Blue Dragon Fruit, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and the Dark-Dark Fruit were also pretty good.

Except for the Dark-Dark Fruit, whose whereabouts are unknown, Darius actually has a chance to obtain the Blue Dragon Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. After the battle with Zephasrit on the Sabaody Archipelago, Darius felt that with his current strength, he should be able to deal with Kaido and Whitebeard, and even defeat them.

After all, as Darius triggers Heart Steel and Grasp of the Undying every day, Darius's health has reached a considerable level. As his level continues to increase, Darius' strength will only become stronger and stronger.

At this moment, the Den Den Mushi on Darius suddenly rang. This was the phone call between Darius and Philip. Darius immediately asked the women around him to go out and close the door before answering the Den Den Mushi. Philip's voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, "Master, it's me."

Hearing Philip's voice, Darius also became serious and asked, "Is there any new information?"

"Yes." Philip's voice was a little serious, and he said seriously: "Marshal Sengoku has already set up an ambush on Cook Island, the next island that the Noxus Pirates are heading to. Once you, my masters, enter Cook Island, Sengoku will launch the Demon Slayer Order. Together with the hero Garp, he will lead ten vice admirals, twenty rear admirals, and 20,000 navy officers to surround Cook Island and annihilate the Noxus Pirates."

"Is the revenge of the navy coming so quickly?" Darius was also a little solemn. When he killed Admiral Kong, he knew that the navy would definitely not let it go, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

The new Navy Marshal Sengoku and the hero Garp, plus ten vice admirals, twenty major generals, and 20,000 navy men, this lineup is truly very powerful. Even though they still have the group battle skill of Demon Sublimation, the Navy has already known the range and weaknesses of Demon Sublimation through several wars with the Noxus Pirates. As long as the domineering is strong enough, they can resist the Shadow Demon.

Sengoku and Garp can be said to be the strongest forces in the navy. Even though Darius now has the Seven God Outfits, he dare not say that he can deal with Sengoku and Garp at the same time. Even if he can win through a protracted war, the Noxus Pirates will definitely not be able to deal with the combination of ten vice admirals, twenty rear admirals and 20,000 navy soldiers.

Darius was a little annoyed for a moment, and continued to ask: "Any other news?"

Philip also continued to report: "In addition, the Silver Axe Pirates have also been secretly targeted by the Navy, because the Silver Axe Pirates and the Noxus Pirates are in a pirate alliance. As long as the Silver Axe Pirates have any intention of rescuing the Noxus Pirates, Admiral Slit will personally stop the Silver Axe Pirates."

Darius listened with a bit of solemnity, then said: "I see, your information is very useful, please contact me if you have any new information later!"

"Yes." After saying that, Philip also hung up the phone.

Darius also slowly put down the Den Den Mushi. It seemed that the navy's revenge came very quickly! Without much hesitation, Darius immediately called A Shen and said, "Hey, A Shen, where is our next island?"

A Shen heard what Darius said and replied, "Captain, the next island is Cook Island. It is a small island and it will take about another day to reach Cook Island."

Darius was a little surprised to hear that it was really Cook Island, but everything made sense. The Noxus Pirates were a large pirate group and could not escape the surveillance of the navy's reconnaissance ships and reconnaissance boats. In addition, with so many people, food was naturally consumed quickly, so they would resupply at every island they arrived at. The navy could naturally predict the island that the Noxus Pirates would arrive at on their next voyage based on the intelligence they obtained.

"Ask all the top officials to come to the conference room. I have something to say." After saying that, Darius hung up the phone.

The first to arrive were Red Chain Snake and Blue Crystal. Their flagships were closest to Darius's Fear Nova and were the first to arrive. Seeing Darius already sitting on the upper seat, they greeted him respectfully and then sat down on Darius' left hand side. Then, Ashen, Crow, Emerald, and Black and White Impermanence all gathered.

Looking at the seven people, except for Kuang Long who was going to the Silver Axe Pirates as an envoy, the rest of the top cadres were here. Darius said directly: "Everyone is here, A Shen, how long can the food and fresh water on the ship last now?"

Ah Shen was also a little surprised, but he also looked at Feicui. This kind of thing is usually managed by Feicui. Feicui also replied: "Captain, it can probably last about seven days."

"Master, what happened?" the red-chain snake asked curiously.

Darius also nodded gently and asked, "The next stop is to go to Cook Island, right?"

Ah Shen also nodded and said, "Yes, we will probably reach Cook Island tomorrow, and we will resupply there."

Darius also directly told them the situation: "There is a navy ambush on Cook Island. Navy Marshal Zhan Guo and Navy Hero are there. In addition, there are ten lieutenant generals, twenty rear admirals and 20,000 naval elites waiting for us."

"The navy is on Cook Island?" Ashen and the others were a little shocked when they heard it. Ashen and Red Chain Snake also understood at once where Darius got his information from. Only the three of them knew that Philip was Darius's undercover agent.

However, this was also within their expectations. When Darius killed Admiral Sora and kidnapped the Celestial Dragons, they knew that the Navy and the World Government would definitely retaliate against them, but they did not expect it to come so soon.

After hearing this, the strange crow immediately said, "In that case, why don't we just bypass Cook Island!"

Feicui was a little dissatisfied and said, "How can we bypass it? The food and fresh water we have now can only last for seven days. Even if we really bypass Cook Island, I'm afraid it will be difficult to avoid the navy's reconnaissance ships and reconnaissance boats."

The red-chained snake listened and said solemnly: "That's right, since the navy has already targeted us, even if we want to escape, they will keep a close eye on us. On the contrary, now that we know that the navy is ambushing us on Cook Island, we can have some time to prepare and will not be caught off guard."

Hei Wuchang asked doubtfully: "Captain, where did you get this information?"

"What? Are you still doubting your master?" The red-chain snake looked at Hei Wuchang with an unfriendly look.

"No, I just..." Hei Wuchang also realized that he had said something wrong. He wanted to make amends, but he was worried that he would say more, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, Captain, I don't doubt you, it's my fault."

"It's okay. I don't mean to blame you." Darius looked calm and said to his subordinates, "You don't have to worry about facing Sengoku and Garp, because their target is definitely me. If we really start a full-scale war with the navy, you will have to face the combat power of the vice admiral level of the navy. At the same time, you also have to consider whether the Noxus Pirates can deal with 20,000 navy."

Hearing this, A Shen and the others fell silent. Their Noxus Pirates had always been outnumbered, and they had never fought such a battle when the forces were equal. Darius looked at A Shen and asked, "What do you think?"

Ah Shen did not answer directly, but answered from another direction: "In the Noxus Pirates, for ordinary crew members, the captain is the undefeated god of war, and is also the belief of most members. As long as the captain is undefeated, the morale will never collapse."

Darius was very confident and grinned, "I won't lose. Even if I fight them for three days and three nights, it won't be a problem. The key is you. If I am the only one left in the Noxus Pirates in the end, then winning won't mean much."

Then, Darius added, "Besides, running away is not my style. What's more, if we can't defeat the navy once and for all, these troublesome guys will come to trouble us anytime and anywhere in the future."

After hearing Darius' words, A Shen and the others also knew Darius's choice. They stood up one by one. A Shen said respectfully, "Please rest assured, Captain. I will prepare the crew of the Noxus Pirates in advance. Moreover, if we know in advance that the navy is going to ambush us, it will be difficult for the navy to catch us by surprise. In a head-on confrontation, our Noxus Pirates will definitely not lose."

"Ha ha ha, that's right, everyone is much braver than before, that's how it has to be. We will certainly pay a price for fighting with the navy, but the same goes for the navy." Darius looked at them and grinned, "Go! The pre-war preparations are up to you. I'll let the navy know that they made a wrong calculation in wanting to hunt down our Noxian Pirates."

"Yes."
