One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

"In Punk Hazard!" Darius thought to himself. In the original book, Crocodile mentioned that Punk Hazard seemed to be a research base. Should we go to Punk Hazard to capture Vegapunk? This guy is the world's number one scientist in the future. He created powerful human weapons such as the Pacifist and Seraph. He looked at Caesar and asked, "By the way, what can you make?"

Hearing this, Caesar was immediately a little proud, and said: "Xuoluoluo, Mr. Darius, I know a lot, and I am best at making poison gas bombs and chemical agents, especially..."

"Can you make artificial devil fruits?" Darius interrupted Caesar.

"Artificial devil fruit." A Shen and Liuli who were standing nearby were also surprised when they heard this. They found this term very new. Could a devil fruit be artificially created?

Caesar was very surprised and asked: "How do you know about artificial devil fruits?"

Darius just looked at Caesar without answering, and Caesar was so panicked by Darius's indifferent eyes that he immediately shifted his gaze and explained, "Indeed, the World Government is now researching artificial devil fruits, but the success rate of this kind of thing is almost zero. Although Vegapunk and I are also involved in the research of artificial devil fruits, all the products we have researched so far are failures, or they are just poisons that will kill you soon after taking them."

Hearing this, A Shen also reacted immediately and said to Darius: "Captain, could it be that the animal-type devil fruits that the navy gave us last time were failed artificial devil fruits?"

"That should be the case!" Darius said indifferently, and then said to Ashen: "Take Caesar down to do a test! If he is willing to join us, let him stay!"

Hearing Darius's indifferent tone, Caesar was immediately disappointed. What does it mean to stay if you are willing? If you are not willing, what will the outcome be? Do you still need to guess? Caesar immediately said, "Lord Darius, I am willing to stay. I am willing to join the Noxus Pirates. You don't know how much I admire you."

Ah Shen ignored Caesar's cries and pleas for mercy, and directly grabbed Caesar and walked outside: "Okay, let's go! As long as you are honest and obedient, and don't have any second thoughts, nothing will happen to you."

After Ashen and Caesar left, Darius whispered, "Are we going or not?"

"Master..." After Ashen left, Liuli snuggled in Darius's arms like a cute little kitten, and Darius stroked his soft hair with his big hand and said, "Why are you still here? You will need to go to work next."

"Yes." Liuli stood up reluctantly after listening to her. As the user of the Whispering Fruit, she also had her own job, which was to conduct a loyalty test on all new crew members on board.

After Liuli left, the maid behind her took Liuli's place and snuggled in Darius' arms. At this time, Darius was thinking about whether to abduct Vegapunk.

But after thinking for a long time, he decided to let Vegapunk stay in the hands of the World Government! After all, Darius didn't even have a piece of land of his own now. Even if he captured Vegapunk, he couldn't give him a place to do scientific research. Most importantly, the secret of his ability was exposed. Darius was not sure that he could defeat two admirals at the same time.

Although Darius dealt with two admiral-level fighters, Sengoku and Garp, at the same time last time, he also took advantage of an intelligence gap and was able to kill Sengoku with the invisibility skill of the True and False Monkey King. If Darius had faced Garp and Sengoku head-on, it would have been difficult for him to win.

Now, the navy has learned the secret that Yamata no Orochi has eight lives, and I have also used the true and false Monkey King once in front of the navy. They will definitely be more wary of me next time.

Even after the Noxus Pirates have experienced many wars, the strength of the crew members on the ship has obviously become much stronger, but even the highest officers such as A Shen and Akagi Kabuto are only comparable to vice admirals of the navy. The other senior officers are probably at the level of major generals, and there is still a gap compared to those strong men in the navy.

"Let's take over Wano Country first, and then go and seize Vegapunk!" Darius finally decided not to take action against Vegapunk first, but to take over a piece of territory that belongs to him first.

The territory that Darius is optimistic about is Wano Country, a country that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Most importantly, the ancient weapon Pluto is also in Wano Country. As a time traveler, Darius happened to see the Wano Country chapter when he traveled through, so he naturally knew how good the geographical advantages of Wano Country were.

Now, it is not known whether Kaido has gone to Wano Country. Even if Kaido is already in Wano Country, it doesn’t matter. Darius is confident that he can definitely defeat Kaido now. And if possible, Darius also wants to take away Kaido’s power of the Blue Dragon Fruit. After all, this devil fruit is also a powerful ability.

"Magma Fruit!" Suddenly, Darius thought of the Magma Fruit, which was supposed to be eaten by Akainu Sakaski, but was eaten by Zephyr. Darius was obsessed with this Devil Fruit because it was a perfect match for Tibers' abilities. However, now that Zephyr has become the Admiral of the Navy, it is not so easy to seize the Magma Fruit. If Zephyr stays at the Navy Headquarters, even Darius will not have a good solution.

"It doesn't matter. Without the magma fruit, the Blue Dragon Fruit and Tremor-Tremor Fruit are also good." Darius thought to himself. Tibers is an important fighting force for Darius in the future, and Tibers will become stronger along with himself. After reaching the maximum level 10, Tibers will gain 120% of his total attribute strength. If he is given a powerful devil fruit, Tibers' strength will definitely not be much weaker than his own.

Therefore, for Tiberus, Darius would try to find the best devil fruit for him. In fact, Sengoku's Great Buddha Fruit is also very good, but it's a pity that Sengoku is already dead, and he did not have the reincarnation to seize Sengoku's ability at that time.

Time flies. After the Noxus Pirates entered Deming Island, they entered a short period of rest.

Deming Island is a small island with a population of only 50,000 people. It is not a member of the World Government and is extremely poor.

But even on an island like this, there is a small pirate group called the Crab Pirates that occupied the island, and the captain of this pirate group is just a pirate with a bounty of more than 80 million.

After the Noxian Pirates arrived, they took over the island and used it as a temporary resting place.

However, this island is too small and there is not much to gain from it. Originally, the Crab Pirates only had a few hundred pirates, and they could live a very comfortable life by occupying this small island. However, the Noxus Pirates had more than 15,000 pirates, and after entering this small island, the resources became a little scarce.

Fortunately, the Noxus Pirates did not regard this place as their own territory. They were just making temporary repairs here, and it was also a quiet place for the wounded to heal.

In February of 1494 Haiyuan calendar, after more than two months of rest, even the seriously injured crew members have now fully recovered, and after recovering from their injuries, their strength has also been further improved.

During this period, the Silver Axe Pirates also sent someone to deliver a letter and made several phone calls. The content was nothing more than why the Silver Axe Pirates were unable to come to the rescue in time after the Noxus Pirates were attacked by the navy last time. They also informed Darius that they were also entangled by the navy at that time and therefore could not come to the rescue.

After reading the letter sent by Silver Axe, Darius felt that it was meaningless, so he just asked A Shen to write a reply letter to deal with it perfunctorily. At the same time, he told Silver Axe that when they were ready, they would launch an attack on the Flying Pirates together.

In fact, even if Silver Axe did not form an alliance with Darius, Darius would still take action against the various pirate groups in the New World. After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If you want to continue to become stronger, in addition to improving your domineering and devil fruits, the best way is to gain experience points and upgrade to obtain stronger skills.

Darius also knew a lot about the Sky Pirates. As the most powerful pirate group in the New World and also the pirate group with the largest number of people, he inherited most of the power of the Rocks Pirates after the disbandment of the Rocks Pirates. After so many years of development, the Sky Pirates now have more than 70,000 people in the New World and as many as 61 pirate groups under their command.

To be honest, Darius was a little surprised after knowing the power of the Sky Pirates. The Noxus Pirates already had a large number of people, but the Sky Pirates had even more people, and each of the pirate groups under the Sky Pirates were not simple.

You have to know what kind of people Darius recruited at the beginning. They were gangsters and pirates from the West Sea, so there were more of them. However, the fighting power of the gangsters, the pirates from the West Sea, and the pirates from the New World are completely not on the same level.

The environment of the New World is harsh, and it is a typical paradise for the strong and hell for the weak. The level of chaos is so severe that even the World Government cannot manage the terrifying navy. It is even more chaotic than the first half of the Grand Line.

In the West Sea, there isn't even a single pirate with over 100 million pirates, but in the New World, pirates with over 100 million pirates are as numerous as dogs.

Even if Darius is strong enough to defeat Ski, the Noxus Pirates will never be able to deal with the Flying Pirates whose numbers are several times larger than their own, so it is necessary to bring in an ally.

What surprised Darius was that even though he already had a bounty of 50 billion Beli, BIG MOM still dared to send him an invitation to tea. This made Darius a little confused as to why she invited him. Wasn't she afraid that he would directly occupy her territory after he went to Wan Guo?

With doubts, Darius decided to go and take a look. He wanted to see what BIG MOM was going to do.
