One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

Then, Darius stood up and said, "This is the specific situation. You can discuss it on your own in the next meeting! But there is one thing you need to know, that is, when you do things, you have to think about what kind of benefits it can bring to the Noxian Empire if you do it this way, and how to maximize the interests of the Noxian Empire after doing it. This is what you need to think about next. As long as it is beneficial to the empire, you can do it, and don't do anything that is harmful to the empire. Do you have any other questions?"

"Yes." Everyone agreed, but when they heard Darius' words, it seemed that he was about to leave again, so they quickly asked what they were thinking, "Well, Your Majesty, although we in the Noxus Empire no longer consider ourselves a pirate group, the other pirates and the navy must still regard us as a pirate group! It's okay for ordinary pirate groups, but what if we encounter powerful pirate groups such as the Roger Pirates and the Flying Pirates?" "If it's just pirates, it's actually easy to say, but what if the navy attacks our colony! Should we choose to defend and wait for rescue or retreat directly!"

Once this was said, it was the voice of many people. Even though the navy had been defeated by them many times, and the Whitebeard Pirates had also been defeated by them, these people knew that it was not because the navy and the Whitebeard Pirates were too weak, but because they had the invincible captain Darius. If they were left to face the navy alone, it would probably be difficult to deal with them. Especially, the more territories they had, the greater the chance of facing the navy. In this way, even if they had colonies, it would be difficult to do business peacefully!

Darius also explained: "Now in this sea, the flag of the Noxus Empire is enough to deter those stupid pirates. The current mission of the Noxus expeditionary force is to annex and colonize those territories that have not been seized by the Sky Pirates. As for the navy, there is no need to worry. As long as the navy does not want to go to war with the Noxus Pirates, they will not easily attack the Noxus Pirates' territory. Of course, if they really do this, they will face the wrath of the Noxus Empire at that time."

At this time, Ah Shen also explained: "In fact, for the Navy and the World Government, once the pirates begin to have their own fixed territories and industries, then for them, such pirates are relatively easier to control, because once the pirates have fixed territories and industries, they will become self-sufficient and will not plunder everywhere. Although they will not pay taxes to the World Government, at least it will reduce the Navy's expenditures. Even because of fixed territories and industries, they will attract the covetousness of other pirates. As long as the Navy and the World Government are not crazy, they will not easily destroy this balance. Otherwise, once the pirates lose their own territories and sources of income, they can only plunder the wealth of ordinary civilians, or even attack the member countries of the World Government, which is what they don't want to see."

After hearing Ah Shen’s explanation, the cadres suddenly understood.

Darius didn't think as much as A Shen. From the very beginning, his plan was to unify the New World first and integrate all the pirate forces. Only then would he be qualified to compete with the Navy and the World Government behind them.

Several months passed, and during this time Darius remained in the Noxian Empire, while Ashen, the Prime Minister of the Noxian Empire, personally led 20,000 Noxian Empire expeditionary forces and more than a dozen warships to open up the country and plant the flag of the Noxian Empire on various islands in the New World.

During this period, dozens of pirate groups were defeated, and these pirate groups also expressed their willingness to join the Noxus Empire.

The Noxian Empire no longer directly annexed it as it did in the past. After all, the Noxian Empire no longer looks down on ordinary pirate groups, and not everyone is qualified to join.

After accepting some of the elite ones, the ordinary pirates were sent directly to the factory as free labor. They could work while alive and could also make use of their value after death.

And in the New World, Golden Lion Island.

This island is the lair of the Golden Lion, and he named it after his own title. Shi Ji was standing on a high platform at this time, wearing a crown on his head, laughing loudly: "Hahaha, little ones, I declare that the Flying Empire is established."

"Oh!!!!" Immediately, the pirates of the Flying Pirates cheered and fired their guns into the sky, saying, "Long live Boss Shiki." "No, it should be long live His Majesty Shiki now." "The Flying Empire will definitely conquer this sea in the future."

"Cheer! Be excited! All the residents on the territory of the Sky Pirates, you are very honored to join the Sky Empire. You are no longer the scum abandoned by the world, but citizens of the Sky Empire." Shiki the Golden Lion laughed, and the projector Den Den Mushi projected his words and figure onto the territory of the Sky Pirates.

The Sky Empire was announced on the Lion Island of Shiki. Shiki the Golden Lion was also the third pirate country established in the New World after the Ten Thousand Kingdoms and the Noxus Empire.

At the same time, just one day later, Wang Zhi's pirate group also established the Beehive Empire on Beehive Island. Wang Zhi also became the king of the Beehive Empire, and the fourth pirate country in the New World was established.

At the same time, the Hive Empire and the Sky Empire recognized each other as legitimate countries, and Shi Ji and Wang Zhi announced that the Sky Empire and the Hive Empire had signed another alliance treaty on the Hive Island.

In the Noxian Empire, the Palace of the God-King.

Darius also received a call from Shiki and Wang Zhi. At this time, in front of Darius, projections of Shiki and Wang Zhi appeared in two projection Den Den Mushi. The purpose of their call this time was very simple. They hoped that Darius could join them in recognizing that the country established by each other was a legitimate country. Although it was impossible to get the recognition of the World Government, it didn't matter to them, as long as the several pirate countries recognized each other.

Darius said grimly, "So, you have also contacted the Ten Thousand Nations?"

Shiki grinned and said, "Hahahaha, of course. After all, that old woman established the Ten Thousand Nations a long time ago. For now, after our four countries formed by pirates are formed, the World Government will definitely take action. But it doesn't matter. I want to see what they can do in the future."

As for Ski's proposal to mutually recognize each other's countries, Darius agreed without hesitation. After all, it was impossible for the Noxus Empire to be recognized by the World Government.

Soon, Darius also contacted BIG MOM. After the two of them had discussed the matter, Darius asked A Shen to announce to the public that he recognized the Sky Empire, the Hive Empire and the Ten Thousand Nations as legal countries. Similarly, the other pirate countries also recognized the Noxus Empire as a legal country. In this way, the four countries established by pirates recognized each other as legal countries.

This news quickly shocked the world. The World Government was very angry. The four pirate countries in the New World actually recognized each other as legitimate countries, which challenged the authority of the World Government.

Several illegal countries formed by pirates actually bypassed the World Government. If this matter is not handled properly, it will definitely be a huge blow to the prestige of the World Government.

And because the Noxus Pirates, the Hiku Pirates, the Wang Zhi Pirates, and the BIG MOM Pirates established a pirate country and recognized each other's existence, the pirates who had territories in the New World were all secretly tempted.

At this time, on the Beasts Pirates side, Kaido saw the report and said angrily: "The Four Great Pirate Emperors, damn, what a shitty Pirate Emperor!"

As he said that, Kaido tore up the newspaper into pieces. The four great pirates in the past were Darius, Edward Newgate, Roger, and Shiki.

Now that Whitebeard is dead, Kaido originally wanted to work hard to become a great pirate who could stand on equal footing with Darius, Roger, and Shiki, but he did not expect that now he would have created one of the Four Pirate Emperors.

"What a crap report! I don't accept any of the other three except Darius." Kaido cursed. Although Kaido was unhappy with the four great pirates of the New World, he still recognized their strength. But he didn't recognize the current Pirate Emperor.

He had just fought with Shiki not long ago. After the last battle with Roger, Shiki had a rudder pierced in the head, causing his domineering Haki and observation Haki to be greatly weakened. His strength was not as good as before. Even Kaido could clearly feel that Shiki was not as strong as him, so Kaido was able to seize a lot of territory from the Flying Pirates.

Quinn, who was standing below, said flatteringly, "Brother Kaido, why don't we also build the Beast Empire! We now have a pirate group of more than 2,000 people, and the population of the thirteen islands under our command totals nearly 100,000 people."

Jin next to him also spoke up: "Moreover, it seems that now, due to the establishment of the Noxus Empire, the Sky Empire, the Hive Empire and the Ten Thousand Kingdoms, a wave of pirate nations has emerged in the New World, and many have begun to establish pirate nations."

Kaido said with some disdain: "Humph, those rubbish are simply ridiculous. It is easy to establish a pirate empire, but it is difficult to maintain it. In the final analysis, it still depends on strength."

Of course Kaido has thought about establishing a pirate country. After he entered Wano Country, he wanted to gradually take control of Wano Country and then build this country into a pirate country. However, it was snatched away by Darius in the end, which makes him very unhappy now.

Although Kaido looks rough, he also has a careful side. It is easy to establish a country, but once you establish a pirate country, it means you have territory, and it will be easier for the navy to attack you.

Isn't the biggest reliance of pirates against the navy their mobility? If a pirate nation is established, and they just run away when the navy arrives, then what's the point of establishing this pirate nation! Kaido is not one of those useless pirates. If he really wants to establish a pirate nation, then at least he must have the military force and troops to deal with crises.
