One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

After the Moby Dick went far away, Yuhi used the healing fruit to heal Darius's injuries and asked in confusion, "Master, why did you let them leave? With your strength, even if he is Whitebeard, you will definitely win."

"There's no way. He runs too fast." Darius was also a little helpless. The all-out war between the two sides lasted only more than half an hour, and Whitebeard chose to retreat. Darius had no choice. If he couldn't seriously injure Whitebeard in one go, it would be better not to take action. Moreover, Darius didn't want to kill Whitebeard, but wanted to seize his Tremor-Tremor Fruit, so he had to capture him alive if possible. Capturing him alive is more difficult than killing Whitebeard. After all, Darius had just used the skill of Samsara not long ago.

'It seems that it is necessary to keep this skill of Samsara Despair for the future. 'Darius now has the strength to kill the admiral of the navy or the great pirates like Whitebeard and Golden Lion. At this time, the seven hours of Samsara Despair are very suitable for replenishing the remaining blood and seizing their devil fruits.

"Master, if you eat this, your injuries will recover faster..." At this time, he was holding a red crystal in his hand. There was a dandelion inside the crystal, but this dandelion was also blood red.

"Oh, a newly developed ability?" Darius was a little surprised and took the red crystal. Although it was a crystal, it was very soft, a bit like QQ candy. Darius ate it directly, and then his physical strength began to recover immediately, and his injuries also began to recover rapidly.

"Oh, the effect is quite good!" Darius said excitedly.

And Princess You also said gently: "Yes, I call this the Blood Essence Dandelion. This one is made from my own blood. The healing effect is very powerful."

"Oh?" Darius was also a little curious.

And You Fei continued to explain; "It's like this, my ability is that I can draw other people's blood to make healing dandelions, this kind, I also call it white dandelion." As she spoke, You Fei took out a red crystal, which also had a dandelion inside, but the color of the dandelion inside was white.

"I made this white dandelion by extracting other people's blood. It also has healing effects and can restore physical strength, but the effect is much worse than that of the blood essence dandelion."

Darius held You Fei on his lap and said, "Sure! You Fei, you have developed your devil fruit ability very well! In this case, you can only provide me with this kind of blood dandelion in the future, and the rest of you only need to provide white dandelions."

"Yes." Princess You listened and leaned into Darius's arms with a gentle look on her face and said, "Now I have finally become someone who can help the master."

Darius gently touched Princess You's hair and suddenly asked, "By the way, how long can your healing dandelion last?"

If this kind of thing can be mass-produced, it would be equivalent to blood bags and red potions.

Concubine You explained, "It will take about a day! The blood essence on the white dandelion will gradually degenerate into a transparent color in about a day. By then, it will lose the effect of healing injuries and restoring physical strength. I have not tried the healing blood essence dandelion yet."

"Only one day? One day is enough." Darius said calmly. If a war really happened in the future, Yuki could definitely be regarded as a strategic talent. It was the right choice for him to go to Dressrosa in advance to get the healing fruit.

Then, Darius looked at the pirates next to him and ordered: "Notify them to gather all the supplies and then we'll set off! To Wano Country."

"Yes."

As for the Whitebeard Pirates, they are still a little upset about this retreat, especially Marco George and others. They feel that they are holding Whitebeard back. It was obvious that on the battlefield, Whitebeard had been suppressing Darius. As long as they continue to fight, the winner will definitely be Dad, and then Dad will be the strongest man in the world.

However, there were still some pirates who were dissatisfied with the order to retreat and asked, "Dad, why did we take the initiative to retreat at that time!" "That's right, Dad was about to win at that time. Although the Noxus Pirates had more people, as long as Dad could defeat Darius, then our Whitebeard Pirates would be the strongest pirate group in the world." "Yes! Dad..."

Whitebeard also laughed heartily after hearing this and said, "Cool! If the so-called victory can only be achieved by sacrificing my beloved sons, then I don't want this kind of victory. Compared with winning or losing, I still care more about your safety."

Hearing what Whitebeard said, the teenagers were all very excited: "Don't worry! Dad, we will work hard to practice and strive not to hold you back next time." "That's right, we will definitely defeat them next time." "In a few years, when we are all grown up, we will go and settle accounts with the Noxus Pirates."

At this time, Kozuki Oden said solemnly: "I'm sorry, Baiji, this incident is all caused by me."

Whitebeard didn't care and laughed, "Cool, don't worry about it. Even without you, Darius would probably find a reason to go to war with us. He doesn't even need any reason. This kind of thing is inevitable."

Seeing what Whitebeard said, Kozuki Oden's previous psychological burden disappeared, and he grinned, "Hahaha, but, Whitebeard, you are really amazing! I heard that guy killed two marine admirals, and the bounty is as high as 50 billion berries, but overall, your strength is not inferior to his, and you even have the upper hand."

When Whitebeard heard this, he shook his head slightly and said with a serious look, "No, that guy must have some hidden card that he hasn't used yet."

"Trump card?" Kozuki Oden looked a little solemn.

Whitebeard said solemnly: "I am very clear about Sengoku's strength. Even if I confront Sengoku head-on, it will be very difficult to win, let alone kill Sengoku. The fact that he can kill Sengoku is enough to show his strength. The strength he showed today is indeed strong enough. But if it is only at that level, let alone killing Sengoku, it will be difficult to defeat Sengoku."

"Also, when I was fighting him, I always had a bad feeling, as if I was being stared at by a poisonous snake. His strength is definitely not as simple as it seems."

Kozuki Oden also became a little serious when he heard this, and asked, "So, you chose to retreat?"

Whitebeard was silent for a moment. What he just said was not comprehensive. He remembered his battle with Darius. Darius had clearly taken several of his heavy blows head-on, but his attacks did not seem to cause him serious injuries. Moreover, while he was cutting himself, his injuries seemed to be recovering slightly. He did not know whether this was Darius' own ability or the ability of the axe. Anyway, the battle with Darius made Whitebeard feel that there was weirdness and crisis everywhere. This was also the reason why Whitebeard decisively chose to retreat.

After all, being able to kill two navy admirals in a row is a manifestation of strength in itself. What's more, the Noxus Pirates is a pirate group that puts power above all else. This war has already caused the deaths of dozens of their sons. Continuing to fight will only cause the Whitebeard Pirates to suffer even more casualties.

Marco was the most careful. Unlike the other crew members, he noticed Whitebeard's abnormality. Of course, it might also be because he was closer to Whitebeard, so he noticed some micro-expression changes on Whitebeard's face and said seriously, "Dad, are you okay?"

Whitebeard laughed after hearing this and said, "Cool, don't worry! Marco, didn't you just treat me? It's just some superficial injuries."

"Okay, guys. We didn't get any supplies on Meilan Island this time. Let's go to the next island quickly! Otherwise, we will be hungry next time."

"That's right, hurry up and sail to the next island to replenish supplies."

On the other hand, the navy thought that after the Noxus Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates met, there would be a war of the century, but unexpectedly, the battle between the two sides ended so hastily, and the speed was so fast that even the navy was surprised.

Therefore, the navy had to abandon its previous combat plan and let everything return to calm again.

After a few more days, the Noxus Pirates finally arrived in Wano Country.

At this time, below the Country of Wano, more than a dozen warships of the Noxus Pirates were docked here. Looking at the thousand-meter-high waterfall in front of them, all the pirates were shocked. They could not imagine that the so-called Country of Wano was actually above this waterfall. Could there really be a country above it?

"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding! How the hell are we supposed to get up in a place like this? We can't get up at all!" "It seems that except for the cadres who have the ability to moonwalk and fly, the ship can't get up at all. How can we get up in a place like this with a 90-degree angle?" "However, Lord Bor has the ability of the Balloon Fruit. If it is his ability, maybe he can take us up." At this time, in the Noxus Pirates, the pirates were discussing this.
