One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

Soon, the five devil fruits were distributed. You Fei ate the Healing Fruit, Bai Yijun ate the Staring Fruit, and Kuang Long chose the Bug Bug Fruit - Rhinoceros Beetle Form. The other two were given to senior officials, Azui and Sanqiu.

"Bru bru bru..." At this moment, the Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly rang, and the maid next to it immediately took the Den Den Mushi over.

"Hey……"

A arrogant voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "Hahahaha, Darius, do you know who I am?"

Hearing this arrogant voice, the maids around were a little dissatisfied. Who on earth is this person? How could he be so arrogant?

"Shiki." Darius was a little surprised. Although he hadn't seen Shiki for ten years, Darius still recognized Shiki's voice immediately. Darius was not surprised that Shiki had his phone number. He probably knew it from Silver Axe.

Shiki grinned and said, "Hahahaha, you still remember me! Times have advanced so fast! A trainee in my second squad back then has now become the 'strongest man on earth', with a bounty higher than mine. Hahahaha, you did a great job! You killed two admirals of the navy, you really made us pirates proud."

Darius felt a little unhappy when he heard Shiki's condescending tone. He really thought he was still his boss! He said coldly, "Shiki, if you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't be so fucking hesitant."

"Hahahaha, I wanted to reminisce about the past with you, but since you don't want to, forget it, let's talk about business!" Shiqi said with a little more seriousness at this time: "I wonder what you think of the current situation in the New World, Darius."

Darius hadn't spoken yet, but Shiki continued, "The four most powerful pirate groups in the New World today are the Hiku Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Roger Pirates, and your Noxus Pirates. Although your Noxus Pirates have only just entered the New World, with your strength, you are undoubtedly on par with us."

Darius said angrily, "What do you want to say?"

"Hahaha, young people just have no patience!" Ski listened to Darius's impatient tone, teased him and continued, "Among the four major pirate groups, the Sky Pirates and the Noxus Pirates have the largest number of pirates, so are you interested in joining forces with me? As long as the two of us join forces, we can definitely conquer this sea."

"Join forces? Is it a pirate alliance?" Darius asked in surprise.

"Hahahaha, yes, it's the Pirate Alliance." Shiki grinned and said, "As long as we join forces, we can definitely conquer this sea."

Darius also asked jokingly: "Oh, then what about your pirate alliance? If we form an alliance, what are you going to do next!"

Shiki exposed his purpose after hearing this and said, "I will only tell my allies what I am going to say next. If you want to know my next plan, come to Beehive Island! After we form a pirate alliance there, we can discuss what to do next."

"Hmph, Beehive Island? What a nostalgic place!" Darius sighed after hearing the name of the place, and said coldly: "I have something else to do now. After I finish what I have on hand, I will go to Beehive Island to find you."

"Oh?" Shiqi sounded a little dissatisfied and asked, "What's the matter?"

Darius was also very impolite and said: "You don't need to know."

"We are allies! This is how you treat your allies." Ski was very dissatisfied after hearing Darius' words.

Darius smiled contemptuously and said, "Didn't you just tell me? We can only be allies after I arrive at Beehive Island and we formally sign the covenant. In other words, we are not allies yet. Since we are not allies, then there is naturally no need for me to tell you what I am going to do."

On the other side, Shiki's eyes twitched as he listened. According to Shiki's personality, he really wanted to drive the pirate warship over directly to overwhelm the enemy with force, but when he thought about the fact that the Noxus Pirates also had a lot of troops, and Darius was able to kill two navy marshals one after another. Although it was not known what means Darius used to kill the navy marshals, killing the navy marshal Sora could be said to be more of a result of luck and sneak attack, but killing the new navy marshal Sengoku, this was not something that could be explained by sneak attack and luck.

Although Shiki has never fought with Kong, he and Sengoku are old rivals. He is very clear about how powerful Zhan is. Even he cannot get much advantage from Sengoku. However, Darius was able to kill Sengoku, which is enough to show his strength.

Shiqi laughed quickly and said, "Haha, alright! If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. I'll wait for you on Beehive Island."

Looking at the hung up call, Darius also hung up the Den Den Mushi. At this time, Liuli came up and asked; "Master, do we really want to form an alliance with the Golden Lion?"

Although Liuli is not a combatant, as Darius's head maid, she knows a lot.

"How can such a thing be possible? We are just trying to fool him." Darius replied calmly, "The most important thing now is to seize Wano Country first. As long as we seize Wano Country, we can use its geographical environment to attack or defend."

For Darius, there is no need to take the initiative to provoke the Flying Pirates now. The most important thing is territory. Once he has a stable territory, it will not be too late to compete with Shiki.

After listening to this, Liuli didn't say anything more. She had heard about the country of Wano Country many times.

On the other side, the Golden Lion Shiki on the Beehive Island was in a very bad mood. Darius's procrastination made Shiki feel that it would be very troublesome to unite with Darius. After all, the scale of the Noxus Pirates was much larger than that of the Silver Axe Pirates. If they used force, even if they won in the end, they would suffer heavy losses.

At this time, a pirate came to report: "Captain, I just received information that the Roger Pirates have returned to the New World."

"Oh, has that guy Roger finally returned from the Grand Line? Hahaha, this time, I won't let you escape." There was a hint of ferocity in Shiki's eyes. Shiki's patience was almost exhausted for Roger, a guy who had repeatedly rejected his invitation to form an alliance. He had tried many times to force Roger's pirate group to surrender by force, but they escaped time and time again, which made Shiki very annoyed.

Shiki immediately gave the order: "Notify all the troops of the Hiku Pirates to approach them. We must capture the Roger Pirates this time and never let them escape."

He decided to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Aren't they the Sky Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates, Roger Pirates and Noxus Pirates the four most powerful pirates in the New World? He decided to completely kill the Roger Pirates among the so-called four major pirates.

The reason for choosing Roger's pirate group is very simple. You have to pick the weak ones. Among these pirate groups, Roger's pirate group has the smallest number of people, only more than 20 people, and there are no special ability users. Although all of them are pirates with bounties of over 100 million, the number of people is still limited. The Flying Pirate Group has more than 70,000 people. Even if they use the human wave tactics, they can be annihilated.

As long as he can demonstrate the powerful strength of the Flying Pirates, is he still afraid that this little brat Darius won't want him to surrender?

During the days of sailing on the sea, Darius did not continue to accompany Tolitoma and Alanya, so Tolitoma became the highest officer of the Noxus Pirates, and all the warriors of the Nine Snakes Pirates under her command were still under her command. After not paying attention to Tolitoma for several days, Tolitoma felt a little uncomfortable.

Meilan Island is a small island in the New World. There is only one village on this island and the population is only more than a thousand people.

Today, more than a dozen warships of the Noxus Pirates docked here to replenish fresh water and food. Fresh water is easy to replenish, after all, there are springs on the island, so they can just go and get some. But food replenishment is a little troublesome, because the population of this island is too small, so the supplies on the island are also very scarce. But no matter how little the supplies are, the Noxus Pirates must replenish them as much as possible. They took away all the food in the villagers' homes and even the crops grown on the ground.

Just today, another pirate ship also arrived on this island.

At this time, a large pirate ship that looked like a white whale docked at the edge of Melan Island. The ship was the Moby Dick, and the pirate flag with a crescent-shaped skull on it was the famous Whitebeard Pirates of the New World.

A teenage boy with a pineapple-haired head pointed at the pirate ship in front and said, "Dad, look, that's the Noxus Pirates..."

"Yeah, I saw it too." Whitebeard's eyes were a little solemn. He didn't expect that he would encounter the Noxus Pirates just by coming to such a small island. Although he was prepared, after all, the Noxus Pirates were also in the New World. As long as everyone was in the waters of the New World, it was only a matter of time before they met. But Whitebeard didn't expect it to be so soon.

Whitebeard is also a little wary of the Noxus Pirates and Darius. The behavior of this pirate group is very similar to that of the Flying Pirates, and it is estimated that they will not get along well after meeting each other.

"Oh, the Noxus Pirates, it must be the pirate group of Darius!" At this time, in the Whitebeard Pirates, Kozuki Oden, the captain of the second division, was very excited. He had wanted to meet Darius for a long time. After all, this man was known as the 'strongest on earth'. He wondered how he compared to Byakuya!

"I can't wait to meet him." With that, Kozuki Oden jumped off the boat without caring about the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates and ran towards the island.

"Hey, wait a minute! Oden..." Marco shouted loudly.

"Idiot, don't get into conflict with the Noxian Pirates easily!" Whitebeard also shouted loudly at this time. He was not afraid of Darius, but if he went to war with the Noxian Pirates, his sons would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Kozuki Oden still laughed as if he was doing what he wanted and said, "I know. I just want to ask him for advice."

When Whitebeard heard these words, he became so angry that his face turned blue. Kozuki Oden was indeed a powerful fighter, but this guy always acted on his own, which gave Whitebeard a headache.
