One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

On Meilan Island, a dozen Noxian pirates rushed into a thatched house. After entering, they searched around and said contemptuously, "Damn, this village is too poor! How come you only have so little flour in your house? You are such a poor bunch."

At this time, the owners of the house, a grandfather and grandson, and a seriously ill woman lying in bed, were looking at the pirates who broke into their house with fear on their faces, and were trembling in fear in the corner.

A pirate said at this time: "Captain Gampa, there seem to be some vegetables planted in the fields outside, but they don't seem to be ripe yet."

The team leader named Ganpa said with a fierce look on his face: "No matter whether they are ripe or not, we will only stay on this island for half a day at most. How can we wait for the vegetables to ripen? Pick them all for me."

After saying that, Ganpa also picked up the old man in the corner and said coldly: "Old man, where is the food in your house! There should be more than this! Is there anything else?"

"We have no more food left, these are the only food in our house. Please let us go!" The old man was so scared that he begged for mercy, and his grandson was so scared that he burst into tears.

Ganpa listened and snorted coldly, ordering his men to dig up all the vegetables outside, leaving no one behind.

The pirates also started to dig up the vegetables with their bare hands. Suddenly, one of them dug up a pile of chicken shit and immediately cursed: "Damn, why is there shit? No, this is chicken shit!"

"Chicken shit?" Ganpa frowned when he heard it. He went around to the back of the thatched house and saw a large pile of firewood. He immediately moved the firewood away and found that there were several chickens and ducks tied up behind the firewood. Ganpa was immediately annoyed and said, "Old man, didn't you say that you had no food at home? What are these? How dare you lie to us?"

When the old man saw this, he also wanted to come up and snatch them, and at the same time he shouted, "Please let us go! We are going to sell these chickens and ducks to treat my daughter-in-law's illness. Please be kind and let us go!"

"Get lost, you old bastard..." Immediately, Ganpa kicked the old man away.

"Grandpa..." At this moment, the child was frightened and burst into tears, begging for mercy: "You bad guys, don't hit my grandpa..."

But the old man was very stubborn. After being kicked away, even with blood coming out of his mouth and nose, he still climbed up again and stood in front of Ganpa, saying, "Please, fellow pirates, these are the livestock I gave to my daughters-in-law to exchange for money to buy medicine. You can't take them away!"

"It's never going to stop, is it? I didn't kill you with my kick just now, so you're in such a hurry to come up and die?" Before Gampa could even open his mouth, the other dozen or so pirates became unhappy. They had a mission to accomplish, and if they brought back too little food, they, the ordinary pirates, would be the ones to starve.

"Stop it, you guys. Don't you feel ashamed for bullying an unarmed old man and child?" At this moment, it seemed as if justice had arrived. At least for this grandfather and grandson, this voice seemed like a ray of light shining into the world.

At this time, Gampa and his teammates turned their heads and looked over, and found a samurai wearing a kimono with two swords on his waist. The person was none other than Kozuki Oden.

At this time, Kozuki Oden also showed a hearty smile and said: "I can't stand others bullying the weak. You pirates who bully the elderly and children don't deserve to live in this world..."

After saying that, Kozuki Oden quickly drew out the Ame-no-Habakiri and Enma from his waist, and with a quick slash, he killed Gampa instantly.

"Captain Gampa." "Damn it! What the hell happened just now!" "Who is this funny-looking guy?" All of a sudden, the rest of the pirates were a little panicked, as their captain was killed instantly.

"Oh, Captain, he is also the captain! The captain of your Noxus Pirates is a little weak!" Kozuki Oden listened with some disappointment, then he made a pose that he thought was very handsome and introduced himself: "I am the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, Kozuki Oden..."

"What, Whitebeard Pirates..." "Run, this guy is not someone we can deal with, go back and report the matter to the cadres." "Boy, you are finished, you dare to offend our Noxus Pirates, just clean your neck and wait!" After hearing the name of the Whitebeard Pirates, these ordinary pirates panicked all of a sudden, after all, Whitebeard, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, is a famous pirate in the New World, and the man in front of them is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Although Gampa is also a captain, the gap between him and the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates is very large.

In the Noxus Pirates, the captain is basically a low-level cadre, generally known as a squad leader. Above him are ordinary cadres, who can also be called captains. They usually have three or four squads under them. Above them are senior cadres, who are also the commanders of the Noxus Pirates and have the power to command only one warship. Finally, there are the highest cadres. In the Noxus Pirates, there are only a few highest cadres who can often come into contact with Captain Darius.

The captain of the Whitebeard Pirates is probably equivalent to the highest-ranking officer of the Noxus Pirates. After all, in the Whitebeard Pirates, the levels are not so clear-cut. For Whitebeard, except for a few sons whom he is more partial to, he basically treats the rest of his sons equally.

Kozuki Oden looked at the group of pirates and directly abandoned Gampa, and also reminded loudly: "Hey, why don't you take your companions with you!"

However, it is obvious that the members of the Noxus Pirates did not care about Gampa's life or death. Compared to his life or death, the most important thing is to pass the information back as soon as possible.

The elderly man who was rescued also expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, young man, thank you so much."

Kozuki Oden laughed very generously and said, "Hahaha, you're welcome. As the saying goes, when you see injustice, you should help. Okay, goodbye."

As he said that, Kozuki Oden chased after the fleeing Noxian Pirates. He originally wanted to challenge Darius, but he accidentally got lost and ran here by accident. Now if he wanted to find Darius, he had no choice but to follow them.

However, Bai Yijun had already discovered the arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates and told Darius about it as soon as possible.

Darius was also a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet the Whitebeard Pirates on such a small island. This made Darius a little excited. Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit is a very powerful devil fruit.

Darius has always wanted to find a powerful devil fruit for Tibers. The one he valued most was the magma fruit, but now it has been eaten by Zephyr. However, Zephyr seems to have been in the Marine Headquarters all the time, and Darius has no way to go directly to the Marine Headquarters, so he has no way to deal with the magma fruit. But now he has met Whitebeard here, so he might as well give it a try.

Darius also wanted to see how powerful Whitebeard, the future strongest man in the world, was.

"Master, it's bad, the Whitebeard Pirates are coming." At this moment, Liuli hurried over to report.

Darius was a little surprised and said to himself jokingly, "That's great! Whitebeard, I haven't even taken the initiative to cause trouble to you, but you took the initiative to find me first!"

Liuli reminded: "Master, it's not Whitebeard, but Kozuki Oden, the captain of the second squad of the Whitebeard Pirates. At this time, A Shen and the others have gone to stop Kozuki Oden."

At this time, on Meilan Island, where the cadres gathered, the Red Chain Snake's body turned into steel, holding the Silver Snake Sword in his hand, and was fighting with Kozuki Oden, who was good at double swords. The two of them fought with swords and cut down all the surrounding trees.

When Kozuki Oden was fighting the Red Chain Snake, he also grinned and said, "Hahahaha, so amazing! I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful female warrior overseas. No, she should be a swordsman overseas."

Red-bellied Snake's face turned pale. The man in front of her was much stronger than she had expected. And Shen could also see at this time that Kozuki Oden did not even use his full strength when fighting with Red-bellied Snake, but he had already suppressed Red-bellied Snake firmly. It was obvious that the opponent's swordsmanship had reached the level of a great swordsman.

"It seems that I can't beat this guy in a one-on-one fight. Don't waste time with him, just kill him." As he said that, A Shen directly entered the awakened form of the Gray Wolf Fruit and rushed directly towards Kozuki Oden.

"I may as well use him to test my abilities." Kuang Long said as he used his newly acquired Bug Bug Fruit - Rhinoceros Beetle Form ability and joined the battlefield.

Afterwards, Philip, Snake, and Violent Qiang also quickly joined the battlefield.

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys are too unethical! Why did you just gang up on me?" Kozuki Oden watched as A-shin and the others joined in, and suddenly he became alert. He had been a pirate for two years, so he often read newspapers and had seen the bounties on A-shin and the others. These people were all pirates with bounties of over 100 million! He was not afraid of anyone when fighting alone, but if he was ganged up on by a group of people, even Kozuki Oden would have to be careful.
