One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

"Vice Admiral, please allow us to lend you a helping hand!" Seeing that Vice Admiral Bai was in trouble, three young commodores stepped forward without hesitation. They were all elites born in the Navy Headquarters. They were all confident in their own strength and quickly joined the fierce battle against Darius.

"Hahaha, come on! The more people the better, let's have a good fight!" Darius laughed wildly, fighting one against four, his fighting spirit became higher and higher.

However, the deepening of the battle quietly planted a strange seed in his body. An inexplicable feeling of weakness quietly spread and became stronger and stronger, making him wonder: "What is going on? Why do I feel so weak? Is it a side effect of the poison mist? No, it is my own poison mist, it can't hurt me? Is it some special devil fruit ability user who did it? Or are those guys secretly poisoning? Impossible, they don't stand a chance at all!"

The uneasiness in his heart spread like wildfire. At this moment, a navy's sharp blade pierced his abdominal defense, forcing him to retreat again and again.

"The navy is quite capable!" Darius cursed in his heart and decided to fight quickly to get out of this unfavorable situation.

At this moment, he was suddenly hit hard on the back, and an unprecedented wave of weakness swept over his body. He saw a beautiful woman with golden hair like a waterfall, holding a dagger inlaid with seastone, standing coldly behind him. This person was his woman, Lanis.

'What's wrong with her...' Her betrayal was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Darius in disbelief. The anger and pain of being betrayed by the woman he loved was intertwined. He looked at Lanis and asked, "Why?" As he spoke, Darius wanted to reach out and grab her.

"Shave!" Lanis flashed and used the Navy Six Styles' unique skill "Shave" to easily avoid the attack. This familiar movement made Darius suddenly realize that she was actually an undercover agent of the World Government.

Being stabbed by the seastone dagger, Darius could no longer use his abilities. The snake head, snake tail and scales on his body gradually faded away. The suppression of the seastone made him lose all his strength. Just as he tried to remove the dagger, a gunshot rang out. Yumi accurately hit his arm with a bullet wrapped in armed color domineering. This scene once again hit his psychological defense line.

"Yumi..." Everything happened so fast, Darius' voice was full of disbelief, and the navy took the opportunity to launch an offensive, and the thick chains bound him tightly like a cage.

The surrounding members of the Tianfeng Gang were shocked when they saw this scene. They were confused and terrified. "Boss Darius... Why did Sister Lanis do this? Yumi too... Did they have a misunderstanding?"

When Red-chain Snake saw Darius being caught, she felt very uncomfortable. Although this man whom she once loved deeply was very fickle, Red-chain Snake was still obsessed with Darius in her heart.

Because of the Red Chain Snake's personality, she was less obedient to Darius, so except for the initial favor she received from Darius, Darius's love was later given to younger and more beautiful women like Lanis and Yumi.

However, even though they were women who had long lost favor with Darius, the Red Chain Snake had a cold expression on his face and said, "Don't you understand? These two women were undercover agents planted by the government to be around Lord Darius from the very beginning."

As soon as these words were spoken, panic quickly spread among the crowd. Some suggested running away, while others were already at a loss.

The red-chain snake shouted at this time: "Don't be afraid, find a way to save Lord Darius, follow me."

As he spoke, some of Darius's loyal subordinates followed the Red Chain Snake to try to rescue him.

Darius was very moved when he saw that Red-chained Snake actually wanted to save him. He rarely touched Red-chained Snake now. Although Red-chained Snake was still Darius' woman in name, she had long been banished to the cold palace by Darius, and he only valued her strength.

Thinking of this, Darius looked up at Lanis, his favorite woman, with anger and coldness in his eyes and said, "I didn't expect that the person closest to me would betray me."

Lanis raised a complicated smile and looked at Darius, with a barely perceptible apology in her voice: "I'm so sorry, Lord Darius, my loyalty always belongs to the World Government."

When Darius heard this, the anger in his chest erupted like a volcano. He had long suspected that there might be undercover agents planted by the navy or the world government around him. After all, the number of people in the Tenho Gang was as high as more than 30,000, so it would not be surprising if there were undercover agents. Therefore, he had been very careful over the years.

However, he had never expected that the World Government had already quietly placed people like Lanis and Yumi around him, and he had never noticed it. No, or he had already noticed it before, but was attracted by their beauty and was unwilling to think about it. It had to be said that this was his mistake.

As the news of Darius's arrest spread quickly, the members of the Tianfeng Gang fell into panic and despair, and they fled in all directions. After all, even Darius, the undefeated god of war in their minds, was not spared, so how could they have the courage to continue to compete with the powerful navy?

Soon, Darius was tightly bound by heavy iron chains. His body seemed extremely weak due to the effects of the drugs, as if he was shrouded in a thick dark cloud, and his consciousness became blurred.

At this moment, Darius suppressed his discomfort, looked at the two women with a sharp gaze, and asked in a hoarse but firm voice: "It was you who drugged me?"

Lanis still maintained her charming charm, with a playful smile on her lips: "This is also a helpless move, Lord Darius. You are too powerful. How can I easily subdue you without using some tricks?"

Darius smiled bitterly when he heard this, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart. He knew that even if he didn't want to provoke the Navy and the World Government and wanted to live a rich life in Boro City, the World Government and the Navy would never let him go easily. As a pirate, especially a pirate with a bounty, it was impossible for him to really live the life of an ordinary person.

I already knew all this, but I still fell into the comfort of the gentle land, and finally it became like this. Darius asked coldly: "Next, how do you plan to deal with me? Will you execute me publicly or send me to Impel Down and lock me up?"

Lanis's smile was still charming, but there was a hint of coldness in her words: "Who can say for sure? However, it seems that the superiors do not intend to take your life easily, otherwise you would have been dead long ago."

Darius couldn't help but smile bitterly as he listened to Lanis's extremely gentle voice saying such vicious words. He deeply realized that a woman's heart is indeed as deep as the sea, gentle yet cruel. It is indeed the tomb of heroes in the land of gentleness.

The moment he became a pirate, there was only one way for him to go, and that was to reach the top of the world and pull the Five Elders and Im down from the top of the world. It was not that he did not have the ability to do so. He possessed the ability of the mythical beast Yamata-no-Orochi, and he also had the system. It was ridiculous that he would go back and yearn for stability just like in his previous life.

"It's not that easy to kill me." Darius' eyes suddenly became extremely cold. Although he was bound by seastone chains, preventing him from using the devil fruit, his skills would not be affected by the seastone.

"Devil's Ascension!"

Instantly, countless shadow demons emerged from Darius' body, condensing into a pair of huge demon wings behind him, emitting a frightening aura. The shadows floating in his body shocked the navy present.

"Purification!" With Darius's low shout, the chains that bound him instantly turned into dots of light and dissipated into the air. At this moment, he was wearing a demon cloak formed by shadow demons, with wings spread out behind him like the king of the night. His eyes flashed with scarlet light, as if a real demon had descended to the world: "Come on! Marines! The real battle has just begun..."

"What on earth are these black shadows? What are they! I can't even attack them, are they ghosts?" "Damn it! What kind of monster is this! It has no entity at all, and yet it can be transmitted through the human body." "I feel like the positive power in my body seems to be swallowed up bit by bit by these black shadows. This black shadow seems to have the ability to deprive people of their vitality..." Soon, as Darius released these shadow demons, the battlefield became noisy again.

Both the navy and the kingdom's soldiers were pierced through by these sudden shadow demons, and an indescribable feeling of weakness instantly swept over their bodies.

A naval colonel, with determination flashing in his eyes, swiftly swung his saber wrapped in domineering power, cutting through the air, vowing to split the evil thing in two.

"Use your domineering aura to kill it!" he shouted excitedly. However, before he finished speaking, the shadow demon that seemed to be cut off miraculously split into two, invading the colonel's body from the left and right like a ghost, and suddenly passed through his back, but there was no wound on his body.

"Damn it! The power is disappearing. Are these monsters immortal?" When the colonel was pierced through by these shadow demons, he felt that the strength in his body was taken away in an instant. Shock and despair were intertwined in his heart.

Faced with the demonic sublimation performed by Darius, this non-devil fruit but more terrifying power, the navy, the Kingdom Army, the police and even the members of the Tenho Gang could not escape the doom. The shadow demons did not distinguish between enemies and friends, with Darius as the center, and all living things within a 500-meter range became their targets of devouring. This scene shocked everyone present, and they all exclaimed: "What kind of horrible existence is this!"

Lieutenant General Lao Bai, an experienced general, also looked incredulous at this moment: "Is this the awakening of the devil fruit? But he has been bound by seastone, so he should not be able to use the power of the fruit! What is going on?"

The members of the Tianfeng Gang, who were in despair, saw that Darius not only did not fall, but stood up in an unprecedented manner. Hope was rekindled in their eyes. "Boss Darius! I knew that Boss Darius was invincible. How could he be defeated by the navy? Brothers, cheer up and follow Boss Darius to kill these cops!" Their morale quickly recovered under the influence of Darius, as if they were injected with new vitality.

At this time, Darius' body underwent another amazing change. He transformed into the human-beast form of the Yamata no Orochi. His cold eyes stared straight at Lanis, causing the latter to involuntarily step back repeatedly.

She was filled with fear and confusion: Darius was clearly chained, how did he break free? Just as she was about to beg for mercy, a sharp axe flashed like lightning and cut off her head in an instant. Then, Darius jumped up and stomped heavily, completely smashing Lanis's head, demonstrating his unparalleled dominance and determination.
