One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

At this time, on the Red Earth Continent, in Mary Geoise, Pangu City.

The Five Elders had also learned of Sengoku's death from Garp and others. After receiving the news, they were shocked and at the same time felt a little anxious. Two naval marshals had died in just one month, which was a huge blow to the prestige of the World Government!

You have to know that the Navy is the face of the World Government and the most powerful military force under the World Government. Sengoku had only been the Navy Marshal for less than a month and he died.

"Damn it! How could it turn out like this!" Marcus Maz Saint was also in a headache at this time. The death of the Navy Admiral would inevitably cause an explosion of world opinion. At that time, more than 100 member countries of the World Government would begin to question the World Government. After all, in the 800 years since the establishment of the World Government, there has never been a precedent of a Navy Admiral being killed by pirates.

But now, not only did the Navy Admiral die, but two of them died in a short period of time, and they were killed by the same pirate. This made the Five Elders hate Darius.

Jaygolucia Satan said solemnly, "It was mainly because of the Yamata no Orochi's ability. Garp and Sengoku had already killed Darius once, but his Yamata no Orochi's ability resurrected him. That's why Sengoku was careless and was beheaded."

Topman Vochuli Saint said solemnly: "Now is not the time to talk about this kind of thing. The key is what to do with the next selection of the Navy Admiral, and the world's public opinion in the future. Such a big thing cannot be suppressed even if we want to. The Noxus Pirates will definitely expose this matter."

Izambaron V. Nasujuro Saint quickly suggested: "Let Zephyr be the new Admiral of the Navy!"

"Zefar?" Saint Topman Vochuli said solemnly.

Izambaron V. Nasujuro nodded and said, "Yes, he was originally a navy admiral, and now he is the most suitable person. Slit and Crane have just become navy admirals, and we can't let them become navy marshals now!"

Shepard ten Peter Saint had some opinions: "But the key is that Zephyr has a broken arm now. If he is appointed as the admiral of the navy, it will affect the image of the navy to some extent."

The Navy is the military force of the World Government. In Shepard ten Peter's opinion, how could he hire a disabled person to take on the role? This would make it seem like there is no one in the Navy.

Topman Vochuli Saint was also somewhat helpless and said: "The key is that the navy is a bit short of successors now! Garp is not even an admiral now, let alone a marshal. Moreover, Garp is from the D clan. I am not very reassured to let him serve as the admiral of the navy. As for Crane and Slit, they have just been promoted to admirals of the navy. If they are allowed to serve as admirals of the navy, it would be a bit inappropriate. So for now, we have no choice but to let Zephyr take over."

"Okay, let's take him!" Shepard ten Peter St. also found that there was a shortage of talent in the navy, and he had no choice but to agree to let Zefa take the position.

The other five elder stars looked at each other and nodded in agreement to let Zephyr become the new Navy Admiral.

Izambaron V. Nasujuro Saint spoke again: "Okay, the candidate for the marshal has been found, so the next thing is the matter of the pirate Darius, how to deal with him."

"Let him go! Tell the navy not to provoke him anymore." Shepard ten Peter Saint said directly at this time: "The Yamata no Orochi fruit has a total of eight lives. Now no one knows how many lives he has left. And it seems that he has the ability to move through space. It is too difficult to arrest him. Anyway, this guy doesn't seem to have much ambition. When he was in Boro City, he was about to start retiring. It was the navy that chose to provoke him, and eventually it turned out like this."

Shepard ten Peter Saint can be said to have immediately shifted the blame to the navy. When the World Government learned the whereabouts of the Yamata no Orochi Fruit, it immediately sent members of the CP organization to lurk beside Darius, but now it has shifted all the responsibility to the navy.

Topman Vochuli Saint also agreed: "Anyway, this pirate doesn't have the Conqueror Haki, so he probably doesn't have the ambition of Rocks. Let the navy monitor the Noxus Pirates at all times. As long as they don't do anything harmful to the World Government, let them do whatever they want!"

The other five elder stars listened and nodded. Darius's strength has reached a very terrifying level now. If they want to conquer him, it will inevitably consume a lot of financial and material resources, and in the end they may not be able to really solve this hidden danger. So they simply let him develop. As long as he stays in the New World and does not threaten the ruling position of the World Government, the World Government has decided to turn a blind eye and let him be the king of the mountain in the New World.

After all, in the past eight hundred years, the World Government has encountered many powerful pirates. Except for crazy pirates like the Rocks Pirates who wanted to conquer the world, the World Government turned a blind eye to the rest of the big pirates.

After all, it is impossible to kill all pirates, just like cockroaches, once you kill one batch, another batch will soon appear. The human lifespan is usually no more than a hundred years, and the lifespan of pirates is even shorter. As long as the personal strength of the pirates enters a period of decline, the rest of the rising star pirates will not be able to help but attack these old pirates and plunder their territory without the navy taking action.

It would be counterproductive to invest too much manpower and resources in order to arrest a pirate.

On the Noxian Pirates' side, Darius was sitting on a pile of ruins, and the surrounding ship doctors began to bandage and treat the injured pirates.

At this time, Ah Shen, Lan Shuijing and other top cadres, who were wrapped in bandages, came to Darius' side. Darius looked at the injuries on their bodies and asked, "Have you counted them all?"

"Yes, Captain." Ashen nodded and began to report: "Our more than 40 pirate ships have received varying degrees of damage this time. Twelve of them have been destroyed. Although the remaining 21 ships have not been sunk, it is difficult for them to continue sailing. Although the hulls of the remaining 11 warships have also been damaged, they can still be used after repairs. Among them, the Iron Blood, the Fear Nova and the Noxus can continue to sail."

Darius listened to the loss of the warships, his face firm and indifferent, and asked: "Where are the people? How many died?"

Ah Shen continued to report: "More than 5,000 people died, more than 3,000 were seriously injured or disabled, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were basically injured. Among them, the ship prostitutes died the most, about 800 people died, and more than 30 people in the captain's maid group were killed by the navy this time. The red chain snake was also seriously injured this time and is still being rescued."

When Darius heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he asked worriedly, "Is she also seriously injured?"

Ah Shen looked a little unhappy. Lan Shuijing beside him explained, "This time, Sister Snake faced two vice admirals alone and was severely injured by them. I'm sorry, Master, I was too weak and couldn't help Sister Snake."

Darius listened but did not answer, and Ashen continued, "Because there are too many injured people now, it is hard to say whether the seriously injured can hold on, so perhaps some people will die in the next few days."

Darius's expression did not change much as he listened. He stood up and said with emotion, "There is nothing we can do about it. There will always be casualties in war. Death only means that they are not strong enough. We should treat them as soon as possible and find a way to keep the injured alive! Since they have not been killed by the enemy, it proves that they are qualified to survive."

"Yes, I have ordered the ship's doctor to give priority to rescuing those who are seriously injured." Ashen said immediately after hearing this.

Darius said seriously, "Let's take a rest here first! Then replenish water and food. Now that I have killed Admiral Zhan Guo, I don't know when the next round of attack from the navy will come."

"Yes."

At this moment, Darius looked at the little bear trotting towards him, and it was Tibers.

Above Tibers' head, Darius could see a translucent panel that no one else could see.

"Tibers, current level 3, the experience points required for the next level up are 227/400 experience points..."

Obviously, Tibers also killed a lot of navy in this war, and his level was directly upgraded from level 1 to level 3, but the experience points required will double afterwards.

He touched Tibers's bear head and said to A Shen, "Check it too to see if it's injured."

Ah Shen also immediately explained: "I have seen it before. Tibers has many wounds on his body. I originally planned to let the ship's doctor bandage it, but after Tibers' body shrank, those wounds disappeared."

Darius didn't force it after hearing this. He picked up Tibbers, the teddy bear, and found that he didn't have any wounds in this form. He asked, "After shrinking your body, can you let your wounds heal themselves or recover slowly?"

Tibers nodded immediately after hearing this, and Darius said nothing more. He ordered again: "Let the slightly injured people quickly collect water and food. We should not stay on this island for long."

"Yes."
