One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

"Want to become a noble? Do you have a way?" There was an indescribable coldness in Darius' voice.

After hearing this, Chi Xing frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied: "Do you think this matter is that simple?" He explained, "Originally, I planned to stand out through the martial arts competition held by the Kingdom of Flowers and join the three major families. However, your unexpected appearance completely disrupted my plan."

Darius did not respond immediately, but just listened quietly. Seeing this, Akahoshi continued, "This martial arts competition will be held in the 16 cities of the Kingdom of Flowers. Each city will select the most outstanding warriors, and eventually these top masters will gather in the capital of the Kingdom of Flowers for the final showdown. I originally thought I could handle it easily, but now... if you can let me off a little in the competition and let me take the championship spot in Boro City, I would be very grateful."

After hearing this, Darius raised a scornful smile. He looked directly at Chi Xing and said calmly, "So you really want me to let you win! What good will it do me to do this?"

Chi Xing knew very well that it was extremely difficult to get Darius to give up the competition. Originally, he was confident that he could win the championship in Boro City with his own strength and represent the city in the finals of the triennial martial arts competition held in the capital. However, Darius's sudden appearance made him feel unprecedented pressure. He was confident that he could defeat other opponents, but he had no confidence in facing Darius.

Chi Xing took a deep breath, and a hint of temptation was revealed in his tone: "There must be benefits. As long as you can let me go a little in the competition and let me advance smoothly, I will not only offer you the devil fruit with both hands, but also give you an extra 100 million Baileys as a reward. How about it?"

After hearing this, Darius raised his mouth slightly, his eyes revealing a bit of disdain: "Akahoshi, you seem to underestimate my strength. I am naturally capable of fighting for the devil fruit with my own ability, and I don't need you to give it to me. Besides, are you so confident that as long as I quit, you can firmly take the championship?"

Chi Xing was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled: "You are right, the competition is full of unknowns after all. Even if I can really represent Boro City to compete in the capital, it is still unknown whether I can be valued by the three major families. However, people always have to have dreams, don't they?"

Darius raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Are you so eager to join those families?"

Chi Xing no longer concealed anything and said frankly, "Of course. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Although the Axe Gang is one of the eight major gangs in Boluo City, it is only a gang after all and it is difficult for it to enter the upper class. And my goal is to join the Murong family, one of the three major families."

"The Murong family?" Darius was slightly stunned.

Chi Xing continued to explain: "The Murong family holds a pivotal position in the Kingdom of Flowers, and controls more than half of the country's military and political resources. Moreover, I heard that the daughter of the Murong family has reached the age of marriage. I am quite confident in my appearance. If I can marry into the Murong family, I will naturally have no worries for the rest of my life."

After hearing this, Darius couldn't help but look at Chi Xing with new eyes, but he was also a little disappointed. He originally thought that Chi Xing was an ambitious young man, but he didn't expect that he wanted to be a gigolo. He sighed and said, "Since you have decided on your own path, then work hard. I wish you can get your beauty soon."

"If I can beat you, maybe I can still have a chance to win the beauty." Chi Xing also sighed and stopped thinking about it. He could only try his best. Moreover, among the eight people who could stand out from more than a thousand people in the preliminaries, except Darius, the other six were also masters among masters.

Darius ignored him, stood up and walked out the door.

"Hey, where are you going?" Chixing looked at Darius and asked loudly.

"Since we have time today, let's go see how powerful the strongest of the eight major gangs in Boro City is tonight!" Darius said jokingly, turning his head to look at Chixing and said, "How about it, are you interested in going together?"

Chi Xing also became a little serious after hearing this: "No, are you serious?"

"Just ask you whether you want to go or not!" Darius asked directly without any hesitation. He had long been very interested in the strong men in Boro City.

"Go, but let me make it clear first, if I encounter any danger, I will just run away." Chi Xing immediately became interested. He was also very curious about how powerful the masters in Boro City were. At the same time, he wanted to know how strong Darius was. He immediately went up and said, "By the way, Darius, where are you going?"

Darius also said immediately: "Of course it is the Tianfeng Gang. Aren't they the leader of the eight major gangs? And you also said that they have the Seven Ghosts of Purgatory? I am very interested."

"Okay, I also want to know how strong they are." Chi Xing was also looking forward to it. Previously, he met Kuang Long, who was ranked sixth among the 'Seven Ghosts of Purgatory' of the Tianfeng Gang in the competition. It was very difficult for him to win the battle with Kuang Long.

The two of them did not tell Brother Nan about their actions this time. They rode their motorcycles directly towards the headquarters of the Tianfeng Gang.

Sitting on the motorcycle, Darius sat on the back of the motorcycle. Chixing also introduced Darius: "Before you go, let me introduce you to the powerful people in Boro City! Although I know you are very powerful, you still have to be careful when you meet these people."

Afterwards, Chi Xing thought for a moment and said, "To put it simply, the strongest fighting force in Boluo City is divided into three kings, four generals, five dragon heads, six demons, and seven ghosts. This is the strongest fighting force in Boluo City."

Then he explained seriously: "The three kings are Ah Shen, the boss of the Tianfeng Gang, the Tyrant, the boss of the Tianlong Gang, and the Rat King, the boss of the Rat Gang."

"The four generals refer to the Crow in the East of the Feiniao Sect, the Sea of ​​Purity in the West of the Thunder Gang, the Jade in the South of the Snake and Scorpion Gang, and the Crocodile in the North of the Fierce Gang."

"As for the five dragon heads, they are all from the Tianlong Gang. The Tianlong Gang has a total of thirteen dragon heads, but five of them are extremely powerful."

"The six demons behind are the Black and White Impermanence of the Asuka Sect, the Wind and Lightning of the Thunder Gang, the Rattlesnake of the Snake Gang, and me of the Axe Gang. The seven ghosts are the Seven Ghosts of Purgatory, and all seven of them are members of the Tianfeng Gang."

Darius listened and said jokingly: "You gangsters like to give people nicknames no matter what. The names are quite interesting, but I don't know their true strength."

Chi Xing said with a bit of seriousness: "Don't underestimate them, these people are quite powerful."

"Have you ever fought with these people?" Darius also asked.

Chi Xing said: "Well, Crocodile among the four generals is the second in command of the Xiong Gang. He is also the strongest fighter of the Xiong Gang. I fought with him a month ago. He is very strong."

"So did you win in the end?" Darius asked curiously.

Chi Xing also smiled and said, "Just barely! In the end, I narrowly won by half a move."

Darius also became interested and asked, "So, the most powerful ones are the three kings."

"Yes and no." Chi Xing replied, "The three kings are all the bosses of the gangs, and their combat power is extremely high, but the four generals, five dragon heads, six demons, and seven ghosts behind them are also very strong. It's not the case that the smaller the number, the stronger it is. I guess we can only know their specific strength after fighting them."

After an hour, Darius and Chixing finally arrived at the Tianfeng Gang's territory. Looking at the large manor in front of them, which was more magnificent than the Axe Gang's base camp, Chixing said, "This is it. How are you going to get in?"

"Why don't we just go in?" Darius said.

Chi Xing listened and shook his head and said, "If we get any closer, the people from the Tianfeng Gang will come closer. If we force our way in, we might be killed before we even see their boss."

Darius listened and stroked his chin and said, "Then let's use courtesy first and force later! Go and try to talk to them and see if you can meet them."

"Okay, leave it to me! Wait here for me..." Chi Xing said as he walked towards the gate of the manor.

Darius did not go over. After watching Akahoshi walk over, he quickly started talking to the people from the Tenho Gang. The other party also made a phone call using Den Den Mushi, probably to report on the situation on their side.
