One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

Chapter 22: Red Star's Purpose

In the next few days, Darius and Chixing participated in the competition during the day and won victory after victory. When night fell, they returned to the gang disputes. Nan Ge was also a very smart man. Now that the Axe Gang had the strong man Darius joining, he also began to expand outward, recruiting those small gangs and forces, and gradually encroaching on the territory of the fierce gang.

The Evil Gang would naturally not sit idly by. After all, Darius had killed their third-in-command, the gorilla, in the game, which was undoubtedly a great humiliation and provocation to the Evil Gang.

Although killing the gorilla was Darius's personal act, the gang viewed it as a humiliation to them. Moreover, Nan Ge was also an ambitious man. As the last of the eight major gangs, he would take the initiative to attack now that Darius had joined.

During this time, Akahoshi was by Darius' side, and after a few days of getting along, the relationship between the two had become very good. As a pirate, Darius liked to be straightforward and did not like to beat around the bush, while Akahoshi was also young and frivolous, and he got along very well with Darius.

These days, through Chixing's introduction, Darius has a deeper understanding of the gang forces in Boro City. There are eight major gangs in Boro City, namely the Snake Gang, the Fierce Gang, the Dragon Gang, the Phoenix Gang, the Axe Gang, the Bird Gate, the Rat Gang and the Thunder Gang. Among them, the Phoenix Gang has the largest number of people and the greatest power, and is the leader of the eight gangs, followed by the Dragon Gang.

Before Darius and Red Star joined, the Axe Gang had always been at the bottom of the eight major gangs, almost on the verge of being forgotten. However, since Red Star joined the Axe Gang three months ago, the situation has changed dramatically. Red Star's strength has given the Axe Gang a rare high-end combat power. In a fight between the Axe Gang and the Killer Gang, the Axe Gang defeated the Killer Gang and jumped from the first place in swordsmanship among the eight major gangs to the second to last.

Later, Darius joined the Axe Gang. The status of the Murder Gang, which was originally at the bottom, further declined due to Darius's killing of the third in command of the Murder Gang and the encroachment of the Axe Gang, and it became the real bottom of the eight gangs.

However, Darius was not very enthusiastic about the fight for these territories. His main goal was always the same, which was to gain experience by killing people in order to continuously improve his strength. As for the so-called expansion of sphere of influence, for him, it was just some extra gains in the process of achieving the main goal.

If Darius stayed in Boro City long enough, he would probably integrate all the gangs in Boro City, and then use these gangs as the basis for the future pirate group to go out to sea.

Darius is not Luffy, who only needs a few companions. What he needs are subordinates, not companions.

Now, Darius was in a room in a manor in Boro City. He didn't have his own residence in this city, so Brother Nan invited him to live in his manor. Darius naturally accepted this kindness.

Nan Ge's manor is huge, covering an area of ​​more than 30 square kilometers, and is home to many gang cadres, numbering more than 1,000 people. However, most of them are not gang members, but maids and servants who are responsible for the daily operation and maintenance of the manor.

In Darius' room, he was enjoying a comfortable life. Liuli prepared food for him carefully, and two maids provided him with massage services. This was one of the reasons why Darius chose to join the gang. After spending more than two years on the deserted island, he longed for a better life. The gang could just meet his needs and provide him with such a comfortable environment.

In addition, Boro City is one of the most chaotic cities in the West Sea. Even if the navy knows about Darius's existence, they often turn a blind eye to him for various reasons. This allows Darius to move freely in this city and continue his killing spree.

"Hey, Axe, you are so relaxed!" Just as Darius was immersed in his thoughts, a slightly frivolous voice came from outside the door, and the figure that appeared next was Chixing. He walked into the room, his eyes lingered on Liuli and the two maids, and waved to them: "You guys go ahead and do your work, Axe and I have something to discuss."

In the Axe Gang, members like to call him "Axe Brother" because Darius' nickname on the bounty list was called "Big Axe". After the members of the Axe Gang knew about it, the nickname "Axe Brother" naturally fell on him.

Darius looked at Chixing with a hint of displeasure, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chi Xing didn't seem to notice Darius' displeasure. He walked to the sofa and sat down. He unceremoniously picked up the coffee pot on the table and poured himself a cup of coffee. Then he smiled and said to Darius, "Don't be so cold, Axe! We have known each other for some time. Now we are partners fighting side by side, right?"

"You are really outgoing!" Darius looked at Akahoshi. During the few days in the Axe Gang, Darius had come to understand the strength of the so-called gang members. The Axe Gang had about three thousand people, but the strength of these gangsters was far inferior to that of pirates. With Akahoshi's strength, he was definitely the No.1 in the Axe Gang. Of course, with Darius joining, he could only be second.

Darius also sat directly on the sofa and poured himself a cup of coffee. Although he prefers to drink alcohol, it is also nice to drink coffee occasionally.

Seeing Darius didn't say anything, Chi Xing didn't feel awkward at all and continued, "Now, both of us have passed the preliminaries. The official competition will be tomorrow. What do you think of those opponents?"

"Hmph, what can you think of that!" Darius said contemptuously.

"You are really confident!" Chi Xing also complained after listening to it.

Darius listened with a teasing smile on his face and asked, "So, you came here hoping that I would go easy on you?"

Akahoshi did not answer this question, but asked in return: "By the way, I am very curious, how could someone like you join the Axe Gang? You used to be a member of the Rocks Pirates, why did you join such a small gang?"

Over the past few days, the Axe Gang, or the eight major gangs in Boro City, have already investigated Darius's background. After all, Darius is also a pirate with a bounty, so it is easy to investigate.

"A small gang? This is one of the eight major gangs!" Darius said jokingly.

Akahoshi sneered, "To a former member of the Rocks Pirates like you, isn't the Axe Gang just a small gang? After all, the Rocks Pirates were a pirate group that once tried to overthrow the world, and in your eyes, the Axe Gang is probably just a small gang!"

Darius took a sip of coffee, looked at Chixing and said jokingly, "Do you want to know?"

Chixing nodded seriously.

"Then take your time to guess!" Darius said jokingly.

Hearing this, Chi Xing was speechless and continued to ask: "By the way, the last time you fought me, you probably didn't use your full strength!"

"Yeah." Darius admitted it directly. After all, up to now, he has not met an opponent who can make him give his all. Although Chi Xing has some strength, he is not qualified enough to compete with him.

Darius was also a little curious and asked, "What about you? Why did you join the Axe Gang? With your strength, you should be able to join a stronger gang! Why did you join the Axe Gang, which is the lowest among the eight major gangs?"

"That!" Chixing smiled. He joined the Axe Gang for another purpose, but he couldn't tell Darius, the pirate, about this. He just made up an excuse and said, "Because I'm tired of living in fear all day long, so I want to find a comfortable place to eat and wait for death. Moreover, after I joined the Axe Gang, I was indeed promoted very quickly. If it weren't for you, I would still be the strongest fighter of the Axe Gang."

Darius did not show much interest and just looked at Chixing coldly.

Chi Xing was also a little frightened by Darius's look, so he stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "I watched your game carefully. Since you defeated that gorilla, your subsequent opponents chose to surrender without hesitation. Obviously, they are afraid of you." Darius sipped his coffee gently and did not respond immediately. Instead, he waited quietly for Chi Xing's next words.

Seeing Darius so calm, Chixing also said straight to the point: "I want to make my intentions clear. Have you heard of the three major families in the Kingdom of Flowers?"

Darius shook his head slightly, indicating that he had not heard of it. Seeing Darius's reaction, Akahoshi nodded secretly in his heart. He knew that Darius's strength was unfathomable. Although the bounty was 3000 million berries, his real combat power was far beyond the reach of those pirates in the West Sea.

So, Chi Xing further explained: "The three major families in the Flower Country are the Ning Family, the Wang Family, and the Murong Family. These three families play an important role in the Flower Country."

Darius looked up at Chixing, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt: "Why are you telling me this?"

Chi Xing smiled with a bit of cunning: "To be honest, I want to join the three major families and become a noble." His eyes were fixed on Darius, as if waiting for his reaction.
