One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

Hearing what Ah Shen said, Bakuki and the others lost interest, and they all went to drink together, arm in arm. Of course, as the highest-ranking officials, they would not drink like ordinary pirates, as they had their own special banquet hall.

After seeing Bakki and the others leave, A Shen sighed inwardly. Although A Shen is now the vice-captain of the Roxas Pirates, and can be said to be second to none, and Darius trusts A Shen very much, and basically he can make the decisions on all matters big or small in the Roxas Pirates, however, A Shen also has his own hidden worries, that is, he is too old, now he is almost fifty years old, although his strength is still at its peak, but with his age and the rising stars on the ship, it is hard to say whether he can still maintain the No. 2 position on the ship.

After all, the pirate world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Although he is still the vice captain now, if a stronger crew member appears in a few years, will anyone still listen to him? This is what Ah Shen is most worried about.

Without mentioning the distant past, let's take the Red-chain Snake for example. Red-chain Snake is younger than him, and she is also the captain's woman. Now she has obtained the Iron Fruit, and her strength is very close to his. It is estimated that in a few years, Red-chain Snake may surpass him. Will he still have the face to continue to be the vice-captain? In addition, there are many young rookies on the ship. After entering the Grand Line, there will definitely be more powerful pirates joining the Roxas Pirates. This makes A Shen very worried about who will shake his position in the future.

At this moment, Ah Shen looked at the sea in the distance with some confusion in his eyes. Although it was dark, he seemed to have a vague feeling that there seemed to be something over there.

However, he couldn't see anything at all in the middle of the night, so he shouted to the lookout, "Turn on the searchlight and see what's over there?"

At this time, the lookout on duty on the observation tower was also a little dissatisfied. Just when he wanted to scold that idiot, he saw that it was Ah Shen who spoke, and immediately sobered up a lot: "Yes, Lord Ah Shen."

Soon, the searchlight was turned on and shone towards the sea in the distance.

In an instant, the navy ships several kilometers away were illuminated. There were dozens of them, densely packed together. This scared Ah Shen a lot, and the lookout shouted, "Oh no, the navy is coming."

"Sound the alarm quickly!" Ah Shen also shouted loudly.

After hearing A Shen's order, the lookout immediately sounded the alarm. Suddenly, a loud alarm began to sound, which startled the pirates who were having a banquet. They didn't understand why the alarm sounded.

At this time, Slit, who was in the navy in the distance, had already seen the searchlights on the other side and said coldly, "Tsk, have we been discovered? But this distance is enough, go full speed ahead."

"Yes."

At this time, Ah Shen looked grim. He immediately picked up the radio Den Den Mushi and announced loudly: "Attention all members of the Roxas Pirates. A navy ship has been spotted at sea. Everyone, be on alert immediately."

"Boom boom boom..." Just as Ah Shen was speaking, the navy had already opened fire. Shells fell on the pirate warships one after another. Suddenly, many warships were hit and thick smoke began to rise.

In the Gyro Castle, the pirates who were originally drunk were now mostly sober. After hearing A Shen's announcement, they heard the sound of cannonballs one after another. As pirates, they were too familiar with the sound of cannonballs. Seeing that many pirate ships were emitting thick smoke, the pirates dropped the bottles in their hands and started picking up weapons to prepare for battle.

"Kill..." "Arrest all the pirates." As the sound of gunfire rang out, the navy who were disguised as civilians hiding in residents' homes also came out with weapons.

The pirates who were having a banquet around the dock were also stunned, but when they found out it was the navy, they became ruthless. They had been drinking to begin with, and when they saw the navy, they put their lives aside. Kuanglong held up his saber and shouted, "Little guys, follow us and destroy these navy."

"Kill..." After a charge, the pirates and navy on land started fighting first.

On the Iron Blood, Darius also felt the ship shake. He, Red Chain Snake, and Liuli were a little drunk from drinking together, but at this time, he was much more sober: "The navy is here."

"Master, what should we do?" You Fei and several other women who had little fighting ability suddenly panicked. After all, they were just vases and were most afraid of encountering war.

Darius also said coldly: "Hide immediately and don't be discovered. Red Chain Snake, Blue Crystal, follow me."

"Yes."

Slit, who was on the warship, looked at the bombardment and grinned, "Last time, they escaped because they had a ship. This time, I won't leave you any ship. Fire and sink all the pirate ships."

"Yes."

When there was only one kilometer left, Slit's body changed rapidly. He quickly used his ability to transform into a tiger in human-beast form. He said coldly, "I'll go first. Remember to destroy all the pirate ships. This time, I won't let them escape again."

As he said that, Slit kicked his feet and leaped towards the pirate battleship in front of him with moon steps. In the air, Slit quickly found the main ship of the Roxas Pirates because he saw an acquaintance there, Darius.

Darius had just walked out of the cabin when he felt a strong breath in the sky. He looked up and found Slit in the sky.

When enemies meet, their eyes turn red with envy. Slitt raised a sinister smile, and his body quickly spun in the air to accumulate strength. His speed increased, and he growled, "Storm Legs·Tiger..."

A vacuum slash wave with a tiger head slashed towards the Iron Blood. The power of this attack was enough to split the Iron Blood in half, but Darius would not let him do that. He also jumped into the air and chopped it up fiercely with Black Cleaver. The axe blade and the vacuum slash collided with each other. After a moment of stalemate, Darius chopped the vacuum slash into two parts with one axe, and let it fall to both sides. The two pirate battleships next to them were in trouble. With a "bang", the two battleships were cut in half.

"Good blocking!" Sleet looked at Darius and curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile.

After seeing Slit, Darius' eyes were filled with excitement. He grinned and said, "Ha ha ha, I didn't expect you to dare to come here! Even if you want to arrest me, you have to go ashore first! Of course, if you insist on attacking my ship, then I can only fight back in your own way."

As he spoke, Darius' body changed rapidly. White snake scales appeared on his body, and seven white snake heads grew around his neck and shoulders. His height increased from two meters to nearly four meters, and several snake heads began to gather energy.

At this time, a red light of observation flashed in Slit's eyes, because he saw a very terrifying future. The energy cannon condensed by Darius easily destroyed all the naval warships.

"Asshole, stop it..." Slit rushed towards Darius angrily.

At this moment, a red light of Observation Haki flashed in Darius' eyes. He immediately stopped condensing the energy cannon and said to the Red Chain Snake and Blue Crystal: "Leave Slit to me, and the rest is up to you." After that, Darius turned around and ran towards the shore.

"Yes."

Slit glanced at the red-chained snake and the blue crystal. He was too disdainful to deal with such minions and immediately followed Darius.

Soon, the Roxas Pirates also adjusted their status and began to fire at the navy to relieve the emergency. The two sides immediately started an artillery battle at sea, but because the warships of the Roxas Pirates suffered losses at the beginning, and the overall power of the navy's artillery was stronger than that of the Roxas Pirates, a large number of pirate ships were damaged by artillery shells or even sunk.

Gradually, the main warship approached, and the navy also boarded the pirate ship and began to fight the pirates at close range.

Major General Philip also held a saber in his hand and ordered loudly: "Arrest all the pirates. If anyone dares to resist, kill them on the spot without mercy."

"Yes."

The battle between the two sides was about to break out. Ah Shen went straight to Major General Philip. The two of them fought quickly. Major General Philip was a little surprised and said, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a few months. You have become a lot stronger!"

A Shen curled his lips into a sneer: "Thanks to the battle with a strong man like you, I have learned a lot." The last time he fought with Major General Philip, A Shen was no match for Major General Philip alone, but through the last battle, he broke through the bottleneck that he was originally unable to break through. The practice of these months has also greatly increased his strength.

"However, even so, you are still too weak." Major General Philip sneered and directly used the devil fruit, transforming into a monkey form, and his strength increased significantly in an instant.

"I'll help you, A Shen..." The red-chain snake also came to A Shen's side at this time, facing Philip together. Even though their strength has increased in the past few months, they are not confident enough to fight against a strong man like Philip alone.

"It's you! It's really hard to deal with two pirates with bounties of over 100 million at the same time!" Philip grinned. Although he said it was hard, his body had already taken the initiative to attack and kill the two men. All three of them were swordsmen, and their swordsmanship had reached the level of swordsmen. At the same time, all three of them were devil fruit users, and their swordsmanship, domineering and devil fruits were competing.
