One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

Suddenly, Ah Xing was as fast as a cheetah. He kicked his feet hard and shot out like an arrow, heading straight for Darius. His clenched fists were wrapped in strong winds, and he rushed straight to Darius's defense. Darius saw this and was not in a hurry. He mobilized almost 50% of his strength to firmly defend his defense line, and did not care too much about the opponent's strength.

However, Ah Xing's speed suddenly increased at this moment. His fist seemed to be endowed with magical power, turning into a continuous rainstorm, hitting Darius fiercely and swiftly.

"This is... Armament Haki!" Darius was shocked. He had never taken Axing seriously before, even though he knew that he had defeated 2500 million pirates. But now he clearly felt that there was a special power wrapped around the opponent's fist, Haki. He hurriedly adjusted his posture, trying to resist this sudden attack. Although he tried to defend himself, Axing's attack was like a bamboo breaking force, making it difficult for him to resist.

After a successful block, Darius tried to launch a counterattack, but Ah Xing seemed to have seen through his intentions and once again resolved his attack with a precise block, and then hit Darius' chest with a lightning-fast elbow. This was so powerful that Darius had to take two steps back, and it also shocked him again. The opponent had just predicted his attack trajectory, using his Observation Haki. In just a few rounds, he was in a passive position.

In the next few punches, although Darius tried his best to resist, Ah Xing's attacks were as dense as raindrops, and he was hit by several heavy punches in succession. He realized that he had spent too long on the deserted island and had not experienced a real battle for more than two years. Even if he encountered a battle, it was a one-sided battle.

And now that he had met a powerful man with considerable strength, he was unable to adapt to the situation for a while.

After a brief confrontation, Darius gradually stabilized the situation. After all, Darius was stronger in overall strength, but the opponent's initial fierce attack caught him off guard.

Darius took a deep breath, calmed himself, and began to fight back with all his strength. His fists became harder with the blessing of Armament Haki, and he kept hitting Axing like a hammer.

Under Darius's fierce attack, Ah Xing began to feel a little powerless. Although he tried his best to resist, he was hit by Darius several times in a row. Every time he was hit, he felt a sharp pain all over his body, making him scream with grimace. However, he did not give up, and looked at Darius opposite with a fierce look.

After a brief fight, Ah Xing found that he was no match for his opponent. If he was just an ordinary gang member, he would have lost, but this battle was about his dignity and honor. As a genius since childhood and the number one in the police academy, he would not allow himself to lose to a pirate.

"He's really quite capable!" Darius commented to Ah Xing in his heart.

Although he suffered a small loss at the beginning, the strength he showed now was completely overwhelming Ah Xing. Even in this unarmed duel without weapons, Darius was still able to continue to stack Conqueror, and his strength was continuously increasing. If he used weapons, he would have already stacked up Blood Rage.

Ah Xing's face was as solemn as a dark cloud at this moment. He had never expected to meet such a strong opponent. Close combat was not his forte, but Darius in front of him was also unarmed, and the two seemed to be standing on the same starting line. However, Ah Xing soon realized that Darius not only knew how to use domineering power, but his two-color domineering power was even better than his own, which was really beyond his expectations.

How could this be possible? In the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line, strong men with domineering power were extremely rare, but today he encountered one here. This made Ah Xing feel an indescribable astonishment in his heart.

"This guy is definitely not an ordinary pirate..." Ah Xing was horrified, and at the same time, he was a little worried about his undercover plan.

Yes, it was not accidental that Ah Xing chose to join the Axe Gang. He had a more far-reaching plan. Although he did work as a bounty hunter for a period of time in the past year, that was just a stopgap measure he took to cover up his true identity. His true identity was a policeman who graduated with honors from the police academy and was highly regarded by his superiors. He was entrusted with an important task and went undercover to investigate the Axe Gang.

In the Axe Gang, Ah Xing gradually gained a firm foothold with his own strength. However, just when he was about to get more information, he unexpectedly encountered Darius, a real pirate. This pirate was no ordinary person, and his strength shocked Ah Xing.

Facing such a powerful enemy, Ah Xing was filled with mixed emotions. He was eager to notify the navy to arrest Darius, but he was worried that this move would expose his undercover identity and affect the progress of the entire mission.

Moreover, Boro City is an illegal place, belonging to the Kingdom of Flowers. Even if there are pirates here, it is usually the army of the Kingdom of Flowers that is responsible for arresting them, not the navy. Unless the Kingdom of Flowers actively invites the navy to enter Boro City, it is difficult for the navy to carry out arrest operations here.

However, Ah Xing is well aware of the corruption and incompetence of the Flower Kingdom Army. Except for a few important economic cities, most cities have the phenomenon of collusion between officials and bandits to exploit the people. This is especially true in Boro City, which is almost completely ruled by gangs and the order is in chaos. Therefore, he does not have much hope that the Flower Kingdom Army can successfully arrest Darius. This puts Ah Xing in a dilemma. What he learned in school makes him want to fight for justice, but he is also worried about his own safety and the success or failure of the mission.

Darius saw that the other party was standing there without reacting, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said provocatively: "What, you don't plan to take the initiative to attack? Then I won't be polite." Before he finished speaking, Darius swung his fist and rushed towards Axing.

Facing Darius's violent attack, Ah Xing could only defend passively. Every time he blocked, his arm felt as if it was burned by fire. Finally, Darius's heavy punch hit Ah Xing's shoulder hard. The force directly made his left arm lose consciousness instantly. He was forced to stagger back, looking at the punch, his eyes full of shock and unwillingness.

After Darius punched Ah Xing with a powerful punch, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze. At this moment, Brother Nan stepped forward and shouted, "Stop it!"

His words were like an order, instantly easing the tense atmosphere. Darius turned his head and saw the bodyguards raised their guns in unison, aiming directly at him. He frowned slightly, knowing that unless these bodyguards had mastered the Armament Haki, his Armament Haki would be enough to block any bullet attack.

However, despite such confidence, Darius still chose to stop. After all, he had already chosen the Axe Gang and decided to join them, so there was naturally no need to make things too awkward.

Nan Ge's face also changed at this time. He knew Ah Xing's strength very well. He was a strong man who could defeat hundreds of Axe Gang members. He was so fast that he could even split bullets with a knife. After joining the Axe Gang, he defeated all the masters of the Axe Gang and became the undisputed number one master of the Axe Gang. However, it was such a strong man who was defeated by Darius, which made Nan Ge feel unbelievable.

At this moment, Nan Ge had a new understanding of Darius's strength. He looked at Darius seriously and said with emotion: "I never thought that you are so young and yet you have such profound strength. It seems that our Axe Gang, this small temple, really can't accommodate a great god like you." Nan Ge's tone was full of admiration and emotion for Darius. He knew his own weight. He couldn't control a person like Darius. Darius was much stronger than him. And it was too dangerous to control such a person, so he just gave up.

Darius raised a playful smile and said leisurely, "No, your gang is actually quite strong, and I don't have anywhere else to go at the moment, so I decided to join you."

After hearing this, Brother Nan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then he was overwhelmed by great joy and asked, "Really?"

Darius raised his lips with a wicked smile: "No way? Then I will just have to join another gang."

Brother Nan walked quickly to Darius, hugged his shoulders warmly, and laughed, "Haha, no no, brother, I'm just too happy. Brother Darius, welcome to join us! Brothers, get ready quickly, we are going to hold a grand banquet for Brother Darius tonight to welcome him back!"

The bodyguards around him smiled happily when they heard this. They gathered around and expressed their welcome to Darius. Darius smiled and responded to everyone, but his eyes accidentally swept over Ah Xing, the young man who had just fought with him. He was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and endured the pain, but his eyes were shining with an unyielding light.

Darius thought to himself: This guy is indeed quite strong. He was able to stand up after taking so many punches. But if Brother Nan hadn't called a halt, it would not be difficult to defeat him.

Nan Ge had already walked aside, and the shock in his heart had not yet subsided. He had never thought that Darius was so powerful, which was undoubtedly a huge surprise for him. Although most pirates have rough personalities and are difficult to control, Nan Ge knows that as long as they can be used well, they can become the sharpest blades. Now that Darius has joined, Nan Ge has undoubtedly seen more possibilities and hopes. He wants to make good use of Darius's force to make the Axe Gang the most powerful gang in Boro City and even in the Kingdom of Flowers.

Darius turned his gaze to Ah Xing at this time, his eyes revealed a bit of admiration, and he slowly said: "Your strength is really impressive. What is your name?"

"Chi Xing." Chi Xing endured the pain in his body and tried to appear calm.

Seeing the other person trying to endure the pain, Darius felt a little amused: "I'm sorry! I was a bit too heavy-handed just now. If there is a chance, I really look forward to sparring with you and seeing how superb your swordsmanship is." Darius' voice was calm and firm, as if he was issuing a challenge.

Ah Xing was attracted by Darius' words, and he responded: "Okay. But, Darius, with your strength, you are unknown in the Kingdom of Flowers. I think you must have come from overseas! The purpose of coming to the Kingdom of Flowers should be to participate in the martial arts competition, right?"

Darius nodded slightly, looked directly at Chixing and said, "You too?" Although the question was asked in the form of a question, his tone was full of affirmation. The previous battle with Chixing gave Darius a deep understanding of Chixing's strength. After all, Chixing was an expert who had defeated a bounty hunter with a bounty of up to 2500 million.

Facing Darius's question, Chi Xing just smiled faintly and did not answer directly. His smile seemed to hide some deep meaning that was hard to understand.
