One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

The Kingdom of Flowers, Boluo City, Jiubao Port.

Darius got off the ship here and took all the money and property on the ship. As for the ship, Darius sold it to the Jiubao Navy at a very low price.

After entering Boro City, Darius walked on the street and observed his surroundings. The city was very lively, and there were many classic cars, horse-drawn carriages, motorcycles, etc. on the streets. For this ocean world, many countries are island countries, so most of the means of transportation are ships. Only countries with a relatively large land area, such as the Kingdom of Flowers, have vehicles.

The shops on both sides of the street sell a wide variety of goods, but there are also a large number of homeless beggars begging on the streets.

Darius sniffed, and although the smell was very faint, he still smelled a little bit of blood.

"Where is the bloody smell coming from?" Darius was a little curious, but then he thought, this is known as the most chaotic city in the West Sea, isn't it normal to have a little bloody smell? Although it looks like a wealthy city now, who knows how much darkness is hidden in this city.

"Let's go to a tavern and have a drink first! Then go collect some information..." Darius made a decision quickly. There are usually a lot of gossips in places like taverns, and you can get some useful information more or less.

Arriving at the 'Tavern', although it was still some time before dinner time, there were quite a few people in the tavern. Darius went straight to the bar and ordered a glass of wine, then dropped a few tens of thousands of Baileys and asked directly: "Boss, I want to ask you something. Is there anything going to happen in this city recently?"

The tavern owner was also a little surprised and asked, "Sir, you must be from another place!"

"Oh, you can see that," Darius said with some surprise.

The tavern owner also smiled and said, "Anyone who can ask such a question is obviously an outsider. But you came at the right time. The Flower Kingdom Martial Arts Competition will be held in a few days. If you are interested, you can go and watch it."

"Martial arts competition?" Darius was a little surprised and asked jokingly, "Competition?"

The tavern owner explained, "Yes! This is a competition held every three years in the Flower Kingdom. In addition to the powerful local players in the Flower Kingdom, there are also many overseas countries and even pirates who come to participate in this competition."

Darius was a little surprised, but also interested: "So, there will be many strong people in this martial arts competition."

"That's right." The tavern owner also explained to Darius: "This is a super large competition held throughout the Flower Kingdom. There are a total of 16 cities in the country. After the 16 strongest people in the Flower Kingdom are finally determined, the final will be held in the capital of the Flower Kingdom, Los Angeles."

"The final winner can become a warrior of the Flower Kingdom's Royal Guards, and there are also very generous rewards."

"Reward?" Darius was also a little surprised and asked, "What reward?"

The tavern owner said, "I'm not sure about that, but based on the previous champions' rewards, some are Bailey, some are devil fruits, or the latest weapons. Anything is possible."

Hearing this, Darius's lips curled up slightly: "This is really interesting! Boss, can we still sign up now? Where can I sign up?"

The tavern owner was also a little surprised and asked, "My dear guest, you mean you want to participate in the competition."

Darius said jokingly, "Why, is it not possible? I am still somewhat confident in my own strength."

The tavern owner had obviously seen many people who were confident in their own abilities, so he advised, "This competition is not an ordinary one. Every match requires a life-and-death agreement to be signed. It can be said to be a very dangerous competition."

Hearing this, Darius became even more interested. If he had to sign a life and death agreement, then it wouldn't matter if he killed the person openly. Originally, Darius was only interested in the prize for the final champion, but he became more interested in this competition.

The reason why Darius came to Boro City was because he knew that this city was the most chaotic city in the West Sea. As long as there was enough chaos and darkness, he could constantly gain experience points to level up here.

Now that there is a competition, he must go and watch it.

"Isn't that perfect? ​​Boss, please tell me where I can sign up." Darius looked at the tavern owner seriously.

The tavern owner was also a little helpless, and finally told Darius the registration location.

When he arrived at the registration point, Darius told the staff there that he wanted to sign up for the competition.

The staff member did not hesitate and immediately took out a life and death certificate and asked Darius to sign his name on it.

The staff member said to Darius, "Mr. Darius, this is your code number, 2276. The competition will not start until tomorrow. You can go into the venue and rest now. There is a lounge for the players. Of course, if you have a place to stay outside, you can stay there, but please be here before o'clock tomorrow morning, otherwise you will be considered to have forfeited."

Darius took the number plate, thanked him and left. It was still early! Darius wanted to go around! Especially since it was almost night, Darius also wanted to see how many crimes would appear in the city known as the most chaotic city in the West Sea at night.

Sure enough, after seven o'clock in the evening, the sky gradually darkened, and Darius walked on the street, wearing a gold ring and a gold necklace, and holding a purse in his hand. However, when he was eating before, he accidentally let the purse out, revealing the shining diamonds inside. It can be said that Darius has exposed all the money he could show to the outside world, and he wanted to see whether the "law and order" of this city is good or not.

As the sky grew darker, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. Those who dared to walk on the street now either had guns in their hands or were stupid and ignorant people who had not suffered from the beatings of society.

At this time, some streetwalkers gradually appeared on both sides of the street, all dressed in fancy clothes. A charming woman came in front of Darius, twisted her body seductively and said, "Handsome man, you are alone! Do you want to have some fun? It only costs 5000 Baileys."

Looking at the woman in front of him, Darius licked his lips and said jokingly, "Great! It happens that I have a lot of money today. If you serve me well, I will reward you well."

The woman was delighted when she heard this. She had seen the diamond in Darius's hand before and knew at first glance that he was a fool who didn't even know the principle of not showing off one's wealth.

"Don't worry, handsome guy..." The woman pressed her delicate body against Darius' chest with a charming look on her face, and said charmingly: "I will definitely make you comfortable, come with me!" As she said that, the woman pulled Darius directly and walked forward.

Darius did not resist and was pulled by the woman. He hugged the woman in his arms and put his big hand directly into the woman's clothes.

The woman also showed a charming face, but in her heart she had already sentenced Darius to death.

Soon, the woman brought Darius to an empty street. Darius's observation Haki clearly sensed the presence of more than a dozen auras in front of him.

Sure enough, the dozen people quickly walked towards Darius. At this time, the woman broke free from Darius' arms and walked into the team of a dozen people on the opposite side.

The leader was a yellow-haired man holding a broken axe, who looked like a typical gangster. “Hey, man, do you know whose woman you just touched?”

Darius looked at the dozen thugs surrounding him, and the woman just now changed her face and said, "Brother Snake, this guy just took advantage of me and touched my breasts."

The gangster named Snake pointed the broken axe in his hand at Darius and said arrogantly, "Damn it, you dare to touch my woman's breasts! Give me the money. If you are short of five million Baileys, you can't leave alive today."

"Is this really a honey trap?" Darius looked at the dozen thugs surrounding him with a joking look, took out a bag from his arms, and said jokingly: "There must be hundreds of diamonds in this bag! I just don't know if it's enough."

Snake listened to Darius' words and grinned, "Oh, you're quite sensible!" As he said that, he wanted to reach out and take it.

Darius looked at it and threw the bag of diamonds into the air. All of a sudden, all the gangsters looked up into the air following the bag.

Darius directly summoned out "Black Cleaver", rushed forward and beheaded Snake Brother with one axe, then increased his speed and chopped down at the people beside him.

The bag gradually fell down, and a gangster stretched out his hand and caught the bag of diamonds. Before he could be surprised, an axe suddenly passed by and chopped off the gangster's hands. Before he could even scream, another axe chopped off his head, making him unable to even scream.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!" Suddenly, a sharp female voice was heard. It was the woman just now, but at this time she was sitting on the ground with her legs limp, because more than a dozen gangsters around her were already dead, and their deaths were very miserable. One by one, their heads were chopped off by axes, and their heads were separated from their bodies.

After Darius put the bag back into his pocket, Black Cleaver danced quickly, scattering the blood on it on the ground, and said to the woman: "Why are you screaming? I haven't cut you yet! But it's true, if I really cut you, you won't even have the chance to scream, just like them."

The woman's body was shaking constantly. She looked at Darius in fear, tears streaming down her face. She said in fear, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"So do you want me to be a human or a ghost?" Darius looked at the woman with some amusement, and the axe in his hand disappeared.

Each of those gangsters before could only provide him with 0.3 or 0.4 experience points. Even if he killed this woman, he would only gain 0.1 experience points at most. It was totally unnecessary.

Seeing the weapon in Darius's hand disappear, the woman tried to put on a flattering smile: "Sir, please don't kill me. I know I was wrong. These guys forced me to do it. Please don't kill me. I will definitely behave well. Give me a chance!"

"Okay! I'll give you this chance, right here!" Darius said, and sat directly on the stone steps.

The woman also understood very well what the man wanted, or rather, this was what she was best at. She immediately knelt down at Darius' feet and began to serve him...
