One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

After being pushed away by Whitebeard, Kozuki Oden laughed and said to his wife Kozuki Toki, "By the way, Toki, you just gave birth to Momonosuke and your health is not very good yet. You need to rest. Don't go to Wano Country now."

"But, I also want to go back to Wano Country!" Kozuki pouts and says dissatisfiedly.

"No, it's very dangerous in Wano Country right now." Kozuki Oden looked at Kozuki seriously and said, "The enemy this time is a super monster. Even Baiji and I may be in a difficult battle."

Kaido also grinned at this time and said: "Newgate, since you have decided to go to Wano Country, do you need my help?"

When Kaido said this, Kozuki Oden didn't know why, but he also asked excitedly: "Really?"

However, Whitebeard knew Kaido very well. This guy became a pirate when he was a teenager, and he was not a pushover. He asked, "Oh, then what is your motive? I don't believe you would come to help others out of enthusiasm?"

After all, this matter has been weird from the beginning. Why would this guy Kaido know about Wano Country? Why would he take the initiative to contact himself, and now he offers to help them deal with Darius.

Kaido grinned and said, "The reason is very simple. See these two wounds on my body? And the horns on my head..."

Kaido pointed to the two scars on his chest and abdomen and the broken horn on his left side and said, "These were left on me by Darius. I must settle this account with him. It will be better for me to still be the Protector of Wano Country!"

"The Protector of the Country?" For a moment, Kozuki Oden and his three retainers were stunned, and Kozuki Oden also looked at Kurozumi Orochi.

Kurozumi Orochi also took out the half-true, half-false script he had written long ago, and said in grief: "It's like this. Before Darius came to Wano Country, Sukiyaki-sama was seriously ill. Sukiyaki-sama felt that he was not feeling well and might die soon, so he ordered Oden-sama to succeed him as the general of Wano Country. But because Oden-sama was overseas at the time, Sukiyaki-sama ordered me to temporarily take over the position of general of Wano Country."

"Temporarily? Hey, why would General Sukiyaki let you temporarily take over the position of general?" Izo looked at Kurozumi Orochi with some suspicion and asked.

Kurozumi Orochi was not panicked at all when he heard this. He used his superb acting skills to say, "Maybe it was because of the recommendation from Lord Kang! But it doesn't matter anymore. I just became the acting general not long ago when Darius and his pirate group invaded Wano Country. In order to save Wano Country, I found Lord Kaido and asked him to help me take back Wano Country. I also named Lord Kaido as the Protector of Wano Country."

When Izo heard this, he glanced at Kaido and said coldly: "Humph, Wano Country is a country of samurai. Kaido is not worthy of being the protector of Wano Country."

As soon as these words were spoken, the members of the Beasts Pirates were all a little angry. Kui said sarcastically: "Ha ha ha, kid, now your master is also a pirate, why, you still look down on pirates."

Izou listened and explained in a panic, "No, I definitely don't mean to look down on Lord Oden and Father Whitebeard."

He has also been a pirate for three years and has great respect for Whitebeard. Although they have only been together for three years, Izo now calls Whitebeard "Dad" like the rest of the crew.

Kozuki Oden also said seriously at this time: "Now is not the time to talk about these things. We must hurry back to Wano Country. I don't know what Wano Country has become now."

Whitebeard also nodded and said loudly: "Young men, set sail for Wano Country."

On the other hand, as the Prime Minister of the Noxian Empire, A Shen was responsible for many affairs of the Empire. Even after the establishment of the empire, there was actually not much difference from the past. Darius gave the general plan he had thought of to A Shen and others, and then his subordinates distributed it layer by layer, and he became busier than before.

After all, the most ordinary crew members of the Noxus Pirates could be said to be at the bottom of the society before, but now in the Noxus Empire, even the most ordinary soldiers are the best within the empire, because the empire attaches the most importance to military force. For this reason, Ashen has given a lot of honors to those new soldiers who have joined the empire, are strong, and are obedient, in order to stimulate the idea of ​​​​people in the Noxus Empire to join the army.

After all, Wano Country, the predecessor of the Noxian Empire, was a country with strict class rules. Commoners were always commoners, nobles were always nobles, samurai were always samurai, and daimyo were always daimyo. It was basically a hereditary system.

However, after the establishment of the Noxian Empire, all these inherent things were broken right from the start, and one could break free from the class barriers by simply joining the army.

Of course, it is said that classes can be broken. In fact, a new class has been formed the moment the Noxus Empire was established. After all, Tolitoma, Liuli and others are now pregnant. When their children grow up, they will definitely become the next emperor of the empire in the future. As long as Ashen, Heibai Wuchang and others do not commit suicide and do not betray the empire and Darius, their offspring in the future will most likely continue to inherit their positions.

However, the Noxian Empire has just been established and is still in the stage of expanding its territory. As long as you choose to join the army, it is still an opportunity to change your destiny.

At this time, in a secret passage unknown to Wano Country, Blue Crystal, Bai Yijun, and Liuli led Darius into the passage and walked all the way to the bottom. Darius looked at the red historical inscription and asked solemnly, "Is this the red historical inscription?"

"Yes, master." Liuli also said softly.

"Has it been translated?" Darius asked again.

"Yes, master, Miss Bai Yijun has translated it all." Liuli listened and said respectfully, and then Bai Yijun took out a piece of paper from her bag with the translated content written on it.

Darius looked at the contents and asked in confusion, "Why do these contents seem to be inconsistent? Is it because this is just one of the four red stone tablets?"

After reading the content, Darius was completely confused. It mentioned news about Joy Boy, Pluto, and Uranus, as well as the names of some islands and some places opposite. He had no idea what it was about. He asked, "Where's Kozuki Sukiyaki!"

Lan Shuijing said with some shame, "I had hypnotized Kozuki Sukiyaki to start translating before, but for some reason, he suddenly woke up from my hypnosis and chose to bite his tongue to commit suicide. Fortunately, we treated him in time and he survived. It is precisely because he survived that we were able to use Liuli's Whispering Fruit and Bai Yijun's Staring Fruit to know the secrets deep in his heart."

Darius also turned his head to look at Liuli and Bai Yijun, and Bai Yijun also said: "I used the power of the Staring Fruit to read his memory. Their Kozuki clan has the ability to carve stone tablets. These stone tablets were carved by their ancestors. Their Kozuki clan has been in Wano Country for generations just to wait for a destined person named Joyboy to appear. As long as Joyboy appears, they will break the national wall and release Pluto, the God of Hell."

Liuli also spoke up at this time: "I just don't know if the news about Pluto is true. Although this is the news from Kozuki Sukiyaki's memory, if it is true, then Pluto has been soaked in this water for 800 years, and he is probably scrapped long ago."

The three Liuli girls are very powerful in detecting intelligence. With the cooperation of the three, there is no information they cannot know. After a few months, they have gone through all the memories in Kotsuki Sukiyaki's mind.

Darius didn't say much and continued to walk forward. There was a submarine prepared in front. After Darius and his companions got on the submarine, it sank quickly, and then they saw the Wano Country in the water. Darius was also looking at these underwater buildings and was a little surprised. These buildings had been soaked in water for such a long time, but they were not damaged at all. Of course, it is also possible that the interior has already been damaged, and now they only need a little effort to destroy these buildings.

Bai Yijun explained at this time: "Master, according to the memory of Kozuki Sukiyaki, the Wano Country under the water is the Wano Country of 800 years ago. 800 years ago, a great man built a wall to protect the country. Then, in the next 800 years, Wano Country suffered from heavy rains, which caused too much rain and submerged the former Wano Country in the rain. It is said that the Hades is hidden in the water of the ancient Wano Country."

As the submarine dived deeper and deeper, the sunlight became almost invisible, as if it was in the deep sea. Under the searchlight, all kinds of fish and shrimps could be seen in the water.

Darius controlled the submarine and continued to dive deeper into the water. Liuli suddenly said excitedly, "Master, look there."

Suddenly, Darius shone all the headlights of the submarine over there and saw a huge steel battleship lying at the bottom of Wano Country. It was covered with moss and various aquatic plants. At the same time, there were many fish, shrimps and crustaceans on the steel battleship, which had become a paradise for underwater creatures.
