One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

"All betrayers must die..." Darius' words revealed an unquestionable determination. Before he finished speaking, his three snake heads suddenly opened, spewing out flames, lightning, and hurricanes respectively. These three elemental forces instantly intertwined and merged in the air, condensing into a destructive energy cannon, which bombarded Youmi mercilessly.

This woman who was still on the boat this morning and was gentle to Darius, was destroyed in the dazzling light with a deafening explosion, leaving only a mess.

A cruel smile appeared on Darius's lips, but this was only the beginning of the operation to eliminate the traitors. He hated these spies of the World Government who were undercover beside him and made him be deceived after giving his feelings.

"Members of the Tianfeng Gang! Your mission is to track down and capture all the traitors. I will kill them all with my own hands!" Darius' voice resounded through the sky with irresistible majesty.

"Yes!" The responses came in unison, echoing throughout the battlefield.

Then, Darius's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, locked on Lieutenant General Lao Bai and others. Without a moment's hesitation, he suddenly jumped up and pounced forward.

In the terrifying state of demonic sublimation, Darius's fountain of life seemed to never dry up, and he could recover quickly from every injury. This almost cheating healing ability made him a true immortal god of war on the battlefield.

Ordinary soldiers were powerless against the shadow demons released by demon sublimation. These monsters had no substance, and every attack from them replenished Darius' strength.

Vice Admiral Bai, a senior commander in the navy, was not able to resist Darius at this moment, even though he was experienced. With the help of the demon's sublimation, Darius recovered at an amazing speed, and even the scars just left disappeared in an instant. As for the weaker navy and kingdom soldiers, their vitality was drained away bit by bit under the continuous attacks of the shadow demons, and their bodies gradually withered and aged, as if they were being eroded by time.

"Run! As long as we get out of that range, we'll be safe!" Some soldiers discovered the attack range of the shadow demons. With Darius as the center, 500 meters away was beyond their reach. However, for those who had already exhausted their strength, escaping became a luxury.

"Those monsters... they are devouring our lives!" After witnessing the tragic plight of their companions, the surviving marines finally realized that the inexplicable weakness they had felt before was a sign of their vitality being plundered. They were glad that they ran fast enough, but their hearts were filled with worry about the fate of their comrades.

"The vice admiral and the brigadier general are still in there, what should we do?" In the distance, the naval soldiers looked anxiously at the area shrouded in shadows. It was the territory of the sublimated demons and a forbidden area that they could not reach.

"I believe that the Lieutenant General and his men will find a solution." At the critical moment, a naval captain stepped forward and stabilized the morale of the troops. "What we need to do now is to concentrate our forces to deal with the other members of the Tianfeng Gang. As for Darius, leave him to Lieutenant General Lao Bai and his men!"

At this moment, Darius stood in the center of the battlefield. Facing Vice Admiral Old Bai and more than a dozen naval generals under his command who were proficient in domineering, he not only did not show the slightest fear, but in the state of demon sublimation, his injuries were recovering rapidly.

Lieutenant General Lao Bai, a veteran warrior, also felt unprecedented pressure at this moment. His Armament Haki was consumed for a long time, and his Haki was finally over-consumed. An invisible shadow demon silently penetrated his defense, like a kiss of death, instantly draining away more of his vitality and fighting spirit. "Damn... Actually..." His words were full of reluctance and shock.

Shadow Demons, the product of the demon's sublimation state, have no physical form, but they can be blocked by the armed color domineering. However, using domineering to protect the body for a long time means that even a domineering master like Lieutenant General Lao Bai will eventually run out of domineering as time goes by and fall into a desperate situation.

Even Vice Admiral Old Bai is in this situation, and the situation of the other naval officers is even worse. Their domineering power is not as good as Vice Admiral Old Bai, and they have no way to deal with these unkillable shadow demons.

"Ha ha ha, it seems that your domineering aura is almost exhausted!" Darius laughed wildly, with a cruel arc at the corner of his mouth.

"If you can't kill me before my domineering aura is exhausted, then you will be the next to die! Don't worry! I don't have the habit of killing people cruelly. I will kill you with one axe and won't let you suffer too much." Darius licked his dry lips, his tone full of coldness and confidence.

The surrounding navy soldiers witnessed these horrific scenes, and their morale dropped to the freezing point. Those once majestic navy generals became weak after being devoured by the shadow demons, and some were even directly sucked dry of their vitality and turned into shrunken corpses. This extraordinary power made everyone present feel terrified, and even their breathing became heavy.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Desperate cries echoed on the battlefield.

However, how could Darius let them go so easily? "Want to escape? Not so easy! Phantom..." He growled and used his skill, Phantom.

Although the phantom clone only has 50% of the strength of the original body and cannot use its unique skills, it can use devil fruits and domineering, which is enough.

"Doppelganger? How many secrets does this guy have?" Lieutenant General Bai's heart sank to the bottom. He knew that they all underestimated Darius's strength. At this moment, he was more like a terrifying monster from the new world, which made people afraid.

"You guys leave quickly! I'll cover you!" Lieutenant General Lao Bai held on to his exhausted body, tightly grasped his sword, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that retreating at this moment was the only chance of survival, but this chance would cost him his life. "We must bring back Darius's intelligence. This time, we underestimated the enemy..."

However, how could Darius give him this opportunity? "Today, no one will escape!" He roared, and the Black Cleaver in his hand was completely swallowed by the red light, emitting a terrifying aura.

"Noxian Guillotine!" With a roar, Darius leaped up like a raging wave and chopped down fiercely with Black Cleaver.

The collision between the axe and Lieutenant General Lao Bai's sword caused an earth-shaking storm, and suddenly, where the two blades collided, dazzling lightning flashed.

Lieutenant General Lao Bai gnashed his teeth and roared, "Go, I'll stop him."

However, just as Lieutenant General Bai was concentrating his strength to face Darius's full-strength axe, the surrounding shadow demons once again played a fatal role. They penetrated Lieutenant General Bai's body, and Lieutenant General Bai suddenly felt a sense of weakness.

Finally, the sword broke, and Lieutenant General Lao Bai's body was chopped down by the powerful force of the blow. He fell heavily to the ground, and blood spurted out of his body like a tide.

"Mr. Lieutenant General!" The naval generals around witnessed this scene and were extremely sad.

The elderly Lieutenant General Bai was lying powerlessly on the ground, with a shocking wound on his chest. The axe mark was so deep that one could even see the heart under the ribs.

Darius stood beside old Vice Admiral Bai, staring at the scene, a smile of both admiration and cruelty appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Haha, Haki is indeed powerful. He can still survive such a heavy blow..." After that, he raised Black Cleaver high, chopped it down with one axe, and ended the life of the Vice Admiral.

Soon, the words "EXP +1433" appeared on the body of Lieutenant General Lao Bai. This was definitely the highest amount of experience Darius had ever gained since his time traveling through time.

Then, Darius glanced at the other alert naval commanders with cold eyes.

Those generals, looking at the densely packed shadow demons around them, knew very well how terrifying the shadow demons were. Not only were these creatures impossible to kill, but there were also a large number of them. They all activated their full body armament domineering aura in an attempt to resist the ubiquitous invasion of darkness.

But now even their highest commander, Vice Admiral Laobai, was dead. Facing Darius's strength, no one could match him. A commodore was on the verge of collapse, but he had to stay calm because of his duty. He shouted with his last bit of strength, "Retreat! Everyone retreat! Send a distress signal to the Navy Headquarters immediately. We must survive and fight for justice!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the generals responded as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw, turned around and wanted to flee, hoping to escape the shadow of death.

However, how could Darius let these prey go so easily? "Humph, how could I let you escape?"

Looking at the fleeing navy, Darius and his phantom clone quickly pursued them like hunting beasts. Today, this Boro City will become his hunting ground, and any prey that tries to escape will not be able to escape the doom.

He wants to use his actions to tell the Navy and the World Government that since you won't let me live a stable life as a rich man, then don't blame me for standing completely against your World Government until the World Government is destroyed.
