One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

"Hmph, it's a pity that you no longer have a chance. Look around you!" Slit said with a cold face.

Darius glanced around. The surroundings were full of navy and there were no pirates to be seen. His phantom clone had been killed long ago, and the crew members of the Roxas Pirates who stayed in Kowloon Town were either dead or captured. Basically, all the members of the Roxas Pirates in Kowloon Town were finished.

Darius did not expect that in just a few hours, the more than 10,000 people left in Jiulong Town were defeated. It can only be said that the old, weak and sick who stayed behind were really vulnerable.

Just as Darius was about to use "Destiny" to retreat, suddenly there were sounds of artillery fire in the distance, followed by shouts of killing.

"Captain, we are here." "Lord Darius, we are here to help you..." "Damn navy, they actually took advantage of our main force's absence to attack Kowloon Town, what a bunch of bastards." The Roxas Pirates, each holding a machete, roared angrily.

"It's the Roxas Pirates." "Damn it! Has their reinforcement arrived?" "We just got rid of the pirates in Kowloon Town, and we didn't even have time to catch our breath when these guys came." The navy in Kowloon Town also complained at this time, but also started a new round of battle with the pirates who came ashore.

At this time, after landing, A Shen and Red Chain Snake also rushed forward. The discipline of the navy was much stronger than that of the pirates. Even when facing the attack of A Shen and others, they were able to respond calmly. The two sides soon engaged in battle.

"Lord Darius..." The red-chain snake looked at Darius fighting with Slit in the distance, and ran over with anxiety in his heart.

Although the distance was far, she could see that Darius seemed to be at a disadvantage against the marine, and his body was covered in blood and his face was covered in wounds. In all the years she had known Darius, she had never seen Darius being forced to this point.

"Don't try to hinder Lieutenant General Sleet." Major General Philip said as he stood in front of the Red Chain Snake.

"Get out of my way..." After eating the Steel Fruit, the Red Chain Snake's strength has greatly increased, and it has become the third most important person on the ship. Its strength is second only to Darius and Ashen. The silver snake sword in its hand stabbed towards Philip.

But Philip was also an expert in swordsmanship. He easily deflected the red-chain snake's silver snake sword, and then counterattacked with a sword to force the red-chain snake back.

After the red-chained snake retreated a few steps, a streak of blood appeared on her abdomen. This shocked the red-chained snake that the other party had actually broken through her iron body. Suddenly, her eyes gradually became solemn, and she said in a cold voice: "Get out of my way."

"Hmph, so arrogant..." Philip snorted coldly, and then took the initiative to attack the red-chain snake.

The two men soon started fighting together, but since Philip could be Slit's adjutant, his strength must be extremely useless. His swordsmanship was extremely powerful, and he was superior to the red-chained snake in both speed and strength. The red-chained snake's iron body was unable to defend against the opponent's sword pressure.

When Ashen saw that the Red-chained Snake was at a disadvantage, he immediately came to help, because he discovered that Philip in front of him seemed to be the strongest navy except for Slit.

"Red-banded snake, are you okay?" Ashen asked the red-banded snake.

"It's okay, be careful, this guy is very strong..." The red-chain snake's face was solemn. He felt that the strength of Philip in front of him was much stronger than Ashen.

Sure enough, the ocean is huge. She used to think that A Shen was the most powerful man she had ever seen, but after going out to sea, she discovered that there are many people in the world who are more powerful than A Shen, and the navy officer in front of her is just a rear admiral.

"Hmph, two of them! And both of them are special ability users. It's a bit troublesome! However, since you all used the abilities of devil fruits, it would seem like I was looking down on you if I didn't use my abilities." As he spoke, Philip's body began to change. Black hair began to grow on his body, and he gradually turned into a black gorilla.

"This guy is also a devil fruit user?" Red-chain Snake's face looked even uglier. Although the two had not fought for a long time, Red-chain Snake had already understood the strength of the marine in front of her. However, she did not expect that the power he had just displayed was not his limit.

After the transformation, Philip's height increased from less than two meters to three meters. He said in a cold voice: "Animal system, Man-Ape Fruit·Chimpanzee form..."

And A Shen also felt the opponent's powerful aura, and understood why the Roxas Pirates in Kowloon Town were wiped out. In addition to Vice Admiral Slit, there was such a powerful existence in the navy this time.

"Red-chained Snake, be careful, this guy is very strong..." Ah Shen said with a grim expression.

Philip looked at Ashen and Red Chain Snake, and sneered, "A few years ago, I was also a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters, but I was demoted because I made some mistakes. However, if I can successfully arrest you this time, then it shouldn't be difficult for me to become a vice admiral of the headquarters again."

"We are not so easy to arrest." The red-chain snake smiled coldly, and then took the initiative to attack Philip.

As for Darius and Sleet, after more than three hours of fighting, Darius became more and more familiar with the ability to predict the future with his Observation Haki, but he was still inferior to Philip.

Moreover, as his injuries continued to increase, his blood loss also continued to increase, and his physical energy was consumed faster and faster. Now, looking at Philip, he was a little dizzy.

"I'm so tired! Is this the candidate for general? He's too strong." Darius gripped the axe tightly, and the blood on his palm flowed down the axe handle.

"Even if your subordinates come now, they can't change the current situation." Slit roared and rushed towards Darius again, not giving Darius any chance to breathe. Although for an awakened person like him with animal-type abilities, the longer the time drags on, the more advantageous it will be for him, but it is not the case for the rest of the soldiers. They do not have animal-type abilities and do not have such good physical strength. They have just fought with the Roxas Pirates for several hours, and now the reinforcements of the Roxas Pirates have arrived. It can be said that they are holding on with exhausted bodies. If the time drags on, the casualties will increase a lot, so Slit intensified the attack and wanted to get rid of Darius as quickly as possible.

Facing Sleater's attack, Darius was seriously injured at this time, and his physical strength was severely depleted. Even defense became very difficult. After all, he was not Straw Hat Luffy, and Sleater was not Katakuri.

Although Darius has the system, he does not have the halo of the protagonist, nor does he have the health-locking hook. After nearly four hours of high-intensity fighting, or one-sided beatings, he did gradually figure out the ability to predict the future with Observation Haki, but he was also seriously injured. As an awakened animal-type ability user, Sleet has extremely strong physical strength and recovery ability. If he continues to fight, he will have little chance of winning.

Moreover, Darius was being stared at closely by Slit. Even if he wanted to kill some marines to level up, he couldn't do it. Slit's speed and strength were superior to his. He simply couldn't get rid of him to kill the remaining soldiers, not even though he was only a few hundred experience points away from leveling up.

"Damn it! I have to find a way to upgrade. Only after upgrading can I break the current situation." Darius thought to himself. Although he could choose to retreat, he would definitely suffer heavy losses. Moreover, if he wanted to retreat, Darius could have retreated long ago. Darius did not want to choose to retreat until the last moment.

"Captain, we are here to help you." At this time, Crocodile came over with several officers. Crocodile looked at Slit and said angrily, "Damn Navy, you are the ones who killed my brother! Today I want you to pay for my brother's life."

Darius heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his men finally coming to support him. Crocodile came to Darius' side and looked at Darius, who had been beaten into a pig-like face with holes all over his body. He was very surprised. Was this still the Darius he knew?

The other cadres, Chenghai, Huanglong, Kuangfeng and Lightning were also shocked.

Darius wiped the blood off his face and told Crocodile and the others, "Hold him for a while, I'll deal with the rest."

Listening to Darius' words, Crocodile and the others also showed a confident smile and said, "Don't worry, Boss." "Leave it to us. I can't say how much more it will take, but it should be no problem in a few minutes."

Darius listened and turned away. He was only a few hundred experience points away from leveling up, so he had to level up quickly.

"Damn it, don't try to escape." Slit wanted to chase him, but Crocodile and others would not give him the chance and immediately attacked Slit.

"A bunch of trash, get out of here." Slater roared angrily. He couldn't let Darius escape. This guy was too strong. If he let him escape this time, it would be even more difficult to defeat him next time.

After Darius got rid of Slit, he growled, "Kill them all..."
