One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

On the other side of the New World, the battle between Darius and Red Earl was also extremely fierce. Although Red Earl was not a person with special abilities, his three colors of domineering had reached the pinnacle, and his swordsmanship was also one of the best in the world. Without using any skills, Darius could not gain any benefit by relying solely on domineering and devil fruit to fight Red Earl.

In terms of skills and domineering, the Red Earl is definitely superior to him. However, the Red Earl has no good way to deal with him. Darius's body is too tough. The passive skill of Hell's Curse allows Darius to collect souls at any time.

After the establishment of the Noxian Empire, Darius made a rule. He built a huge morgue in the Flower City and required that all citizens of the Noxian Empire must send their dead bodies to the morgue for registration as soon as possible after their death.

Darius goes to the morgue once a day to absorb the souls of the dead, so now Darius's defense has reached a terrifying level.

After experiments, Darius also confirmed that the soul will appear after a person dies and can stay above the corpse for three days. After three days, it will completely disappear.

At this time, the Red Earl's sword energy fell on Darius, leaving a trail of blood marks on his body. Although he was bleeding, it only scratched Darius's skin and could not hurt his bones at all.

"Your body is so hard." After attacking Darius several times in a row, the Red Earl's face became more and more ugly. The sword energy that could easily cut through steel fell on Darius' body, but only left a blood mark on it.

"Ha ha ha, it seems my domineering aura is still not strong enough!" Darius grinned grimly. He was attacked by sword energy entangled with domineering color and armament color. His armament color defense could not block it at all. He had to rely on the hardness of his body to withstand it, but now his defense was too high.

It has only been more than a year since Darius acquired the skill of Hell Curse, and he doesn't know how many souls he has collected. This skill has made Darius's defense invincible. Darius is confident that even if he goes to face the Navy Headquarters alone now, he has absolute confidence that he can defeat them.

Why can Kaido, the beast in the original work, become the "strongest creature on land, sea and air"? Isn't it because his defense and recovery are strong enough? Now my defense and recovery are far better than Kaido in the original work, and the skill of Hell Curse is not online. As long as I continue to collect souls, my armor and magic resistance can be infinitely raised.

"Come on! Come and kill me! Didn't you say you wanted to use me as a whetstone? Come on!" Darius grinned grimly, and the Armament Haki was once again wrapped around Black Cut, and he attacked the Red Earl madly.

The Red Earl also had a solemn expression on his face. While defending and blocking Darius' attack, he was a little anxious in his heart. Although Darius's Observation Haki had also reached the level of predicting the future, the Red Earl was born with extremely strong Observation Haki. Not only had he cultivated it to the level of foreseeing the future very early, but his Observation Haki could also sense the good and evil of his opponents and even hear the inner voices of others.

The armament domineering has also reached the point of internal destruction, and the domineering domineering has even reached the point of being able to entangle.

However, he had never seen such strong defense. What on earth was this person's body made of? He could even block the sword energy of a great swordsman like him with his flesh body. It was simply unbelievable.

Darius is not worried about getting hurt at this time because of his strong defense. As his strength grows stronger, it will become more and more difficult to improve his domineering power. Because Darius has a cheat, instead of working hard to improve his domineering power, which has no progress bar, Darius spends more time collecting souls, improving armor, and going to the prison to use the Heart Steel, which is a method that can clearly make him stronger, because these things have a visible progress bar.

Darius also knew that as his defense became stronger and stronger, he would probably have less and less interest in practicing domineering, and there would be fewer and fewer people who could be his opponents in the future, so Darius chose to seal himself now, without using any skills, not even the devil fruit, just to improve himself in battle.

As time went by, Darius suffered more and more injuries. With so many sword wounds, even Kaido probably couldn't withstand it. In other words, he was the only person in the world who could withstand so many attacks from the Red Earl.

Darius tore off his coat. There were more than a dozen sword wounds on his body. He laughed and said, "Ha ha ha, not bad, not bad, your attack power is quite strong! No wonder you can fight against Whitebeard, Roger and Sky by yourself! Your strength is really not exaggerated! With this strength, except that your destructive power is not as good as Whitebeard, your domineering and sword skills are not worse than Whitebeard's."

"This monster..." The Red Earl's face became more and more ugly. The two had been fighting for only more than an hour. He had tried all his means, but still could not seriously injure Darius. The record of being able to easily destroy a warship was like scraping to Darius, and it was difficult to cause any harm to him.

Darius rushed towards the Red Earl with a grim smile, and collided with the Red Earl's umbrella sword. Suddenly, the Red Earl took several steps back and said in shock: "Your Armament Haki is actually..."

Darius grinned and said, "Nothing to be surprised about! The predecessor of the Noxus Empire was Wano Country, and within Wano Country, there are detailed records of the practice of Haki. I said, you are just my whetstone. My Armament Haki is only one battle away from internal destruction. You came at the right time."

The Red Earl looked a little unhappy when he heard this, and Darius raised a hint of contempt at the corner of his mouth, saying playfully: "How about it! Give me the technique of the Conqueror's Haki as well! If you give it to me, I won't kill you."

The Red Earl snorted coldly after hearing this. He was a proud and arrogant man who would not compromise with anyone. However, he now clearly saw the gap between himself and Darius, which made the Red Earl feel uncomfortable.

The Red Earl has been looking for a powerful opponent all along. In this ocean, the only ones he can take seriously are Roger and Whitebeard. Although Shiki is strong enough, he is still a little weaker than the others.

Now, Roger is seriously ill and Whitebeard is dead. He once wanted to find Admiral Sora to fight a decisive battle, but was interrupted by Darius.

Now he came to duel with Darius, the strongest man in the world, but he found that Darius's growth rate far exceeded his expectations. This guy's strength was too strong. He was completely different from when he was in the Sabaody Archipelago.

The Red Earl did not answer but continued to attack. As a lone Red, he disdain to escape. Moreover, even if he wanted to escape, Darius probably would not let him escape unless he was willing to jump into the sea and choose to escape underwater.

However, as the lone Red, with his pride, he disdains to escape in this way.

In the past, even when he went to spar with Whitebeard and Roger, he left with dignity. At that time, he chose to leave because he could not decide the winner with them.

Even when he challenged the Admiral Kong, he eventually left calmly. The word "embarrassed evacuation" had never appeared in his mind. He was elegant all his life and would not allow himself to have any stain. Even if he died in battle, he would not choose to escape in an embarrassed manner.

Soon, the two of them fought again, and Darius gradually used high-level Armament Haki in the battle with Red Earl. He spoke again: "Hey, Red Earl, you really don't want to join me? No matter what the conditions are, I can agree to you."

The Red Earl remained indifferent and did not answer Darius' words. His observation Haki could sense whether Darius' words were true or false. It was obvious that Darius really wanted to invite him, but Darius also really wanted to kill him in his heart. If he refused, he would definitely be killed by him. However, the Red Earl was not afraid.

"Let me see your hidden power." The Red Earl said to Darius.

Darius frowned slightly, and the Red Earl continued, "Don't hide it. I know that you still have more powerful power that you haven't used yet. Let me see your true power!"

"So, are you willing to join the Noxian Empire?" Darius asked again.

The Red Earl seemed a little helpless when he heard this. He looked at Darius calmly and said, "You already have the answer in your mind. Why do you keep asking such meaningless questions? I have been able to sense the emotions of people around me since I was a child. Now I can even hear other people's inner voices. I want to see your true power."

Darius smiled contemptuously and said, "You are not qualified to see it."

Hearing this answer, the Red Earl did not show any expression, as if everything was within his expectations. However, this reaction made Darius a little unhappy. If he could hear what others were thinking, then he didn't know if he knew about the existence of his skill.

No matter what, this kind of person, this kind of power, cannot be kept.
