One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

The two quickly stepped onto the ring, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Ashen slowly drew out his saber, Yulu, a sharp sword famous in the West Sea. The blade flashed with cold light, revealing an extraordinary aura. Darius, on the other hand, stood at the end of the confrontation with his giant axe, Black Cleaver, with a deep and calm look in his eyes, as if he had everything under control.

Below the stage, Chi Xing and the Seven Demons of Purgatory were watching the battle intently.

At this time, they were all very curious. Darius was a former crew member of the Rocks Pirates, and A Shen was the boss of the Tenho Gang and the best master in Boro City. Who would win the battle between the two of them?

Although the Seven Purgatory Demons have confidence in A-Shin, they are also cautious. They know that there are always people who are better than you. Darius is a pirate from the Grand Line and a former member of the Rocks Pirates. In addition, Akaboshi personally admitted that he is no match for him, which makes Darius's strength seem unfathomable. Therefore, the Seven Purgatory Demons have secretly decided that if the situation changes, they will intervene without hesitation to protect the dignity of A-Shin and the gang.

Just as everyone was holding their breath, Darius suddenly attacked, swinging his giant axe Black Cleaver down with a whistling sound. A Shen reacted quickly and drew his sword to meet the attack almost at the same time. The blade and the axe collided violently in the air, sparks flew, and a deafening sound was made. In the interval between the confrontations, Darius raised a grim smile at the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, you have also mastered the domineering power."

In this sea, Haki is a sign of strength. Although not everyone can obtain it, it is not difficult for some wealthy gang leaders to obtain the method of cultivation through special channels. Although Haki is extremely rare, it is still rare in the Four Seas and the Grand Line. Generally, few pirates in the Four Seas have Haki. However, the gang world is different from pirates. Although they are in the gray area, they often have inextricable ties with the white way, and maintain a delicate balance through money and power transactions.

Because of this, although the gangs have no way out on land, they can still find a way to survive in the complex social structure. In contrast, pirates are more free and unrestrained, but they also bear huge pressure from the navy and the world government. Today's battle in the ring is not only a contest between two strong men, but also a fierce collision between people from two different worlds.

"This is a leaping slash? He has already entered the ranks of sword masters!" Darius couldn't help but blurt out when fighting with A Shen, his tone full of amazement.

Ah Shen's swordsmanship was so sharp that he had to grin bitterly, and was secretly shocked in his heart: "As expected of a pirate from the Great Channel. Although he is young, he is so domineering. It is rare!"

Darius did not dare to take A Shen lightly. He knew that this man was much stronger than Red Star, which could be seen from the two-color domineering aura he displayed. The domineering aura was much stronger than Red Star. Moreover, as the leader of the eight major gangs, A Shen had experienced countless life-and-death battles and had already integrated the swordsmanship into his bones, forming a unique and deadly combat system.

Under the ring, Red Star and the Seven Purgatory Demons watched the duel intently. They saw that under the blessing of Armament Haki, each confrontation between Yulu and Kurogiri produced dazzling sparks, and the air was filled with a cold breath unique to pig iron. Just as the battle was getting intense, A Shen suddenly lost his concentration, leaving Darius with a fatal flaw. Seeing this, the Seven Purgatory Demons were all terrified, and Darius keenly captured this opportunity and chopped A Shen with his giant axe like lightning.

However, at this critical moment, the corner of A Shen's mouth curled up with a mysterious smile. Darius' heart trembled, and he had a bad feeling. As expected, his axe hit nothing. A Shen quickly counterattacked, and the tip of the Rain Dew sword was raised, approaching Darius. A Shen thought that this attack would definitely hit, but unexpectedly, Darius used his hardened palm of Armament Haki to grab the Rain Dew and firmly control it in his hand.

"This..." As the god was shocked, Darius grinned and said, "Uncle, you underestimated the enemy too much!"

After saying this, he raised his axe high, ready to give A Shen a fatal blow. At this critical moment, a flying knife appeared out of nowhere and hit Darius's axe accurately, causing his attack to deviate from the track. A Shen took the opportunity to turn sideways and cleverly avoided the fatal blow.

Darius was furious and was about to fight back, but he saw several figures rushing towards him. The seven ghosts of Purgatory held sharp blades and attacked him together. Darius had to give up chasing A Shen and deal with this sudden siege. He swung the Black Cleaver, and the powerful axe energy forced the seven ghosts of Purgatory to retreat again and again, and finally they gathered around A Shen.

At this time, the wavy silver snake sword in the hand of the red chain snake trembled slightly. It was obvious that Darius's axe just now made him feel unprecedented shock and pressure. He looked at Darius' figure, and his fear of this powerful enemy became even greater.

"Hey, hey, hey! We clearly agreed before that it would be a one-on-one duel, but you guys didn't keep your word and attacked us in unison!" Darius looked directly at the formation of the Seven Ghosts of Purgatory with sharp eyes. He keenly realized that each of these seven people possessed domineering power.

The red-chained snake angrily shouted, "You clearly wanted to kill Ah Shen with that axe just now! If you really let it fall, even Ah Shen would be severely injured, and even his life would be hanging by a thread!"

Although the red-chained snake was angry, it was now very calm. The power of Darius's axe just now made the red-chained snake very afraid of Darius.

Darius raised his lips in disdain, looking down on the gangsters' behavior. "Oh, is this your gang's survival philosophy? Once the situation is unfavorable, you immediately choose to use your numbers to bully the few? However, I won't blame you. I had anticipated this situation before I came here."

A Shen's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out. He had never underestimated Darius's strength, but he had never expected that the other party would be so desperate. The madness and determination unique to pirates made him sigh inwardly.

In the past, Ah Shen himself was also a ruthless character who fought for his life in the streets and alleys, but time has passed, and now he is over 40 years old. As the boss of the Tianfeng Gang, his youthful arrogance has long been replaced by calmness. He claims to be the strongest in Boro City, but in the previous confrontation, he was unprecedentedly timid towards Darius, and even had the idea of ​​escaping, which made him feel unprecedented shame and unwillingness.

"Back off!" Ashen suddenly shouted, his voice full of unquestionable majesty, the veins on his forehead bulging, revealing the anger and determination boiling in his heart. Seeing this, the seven ghosts of Purgatory were all startled, and quickly stepped aside, leaving the duel stage completely to Ashen and Darius. The air between the two seemed to freeze, and a more intense contest was about to begin.
