One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

Darius looked at Slit, who was ready to fight to the death, with a ruthless look in his eyes. Since Slit cared about the lives of the navy soldiers, Darius would not be polite. Exposing such a weakness was not a good thing!

However, seeing that the navy had dispersed and many of them had already run out of the range of the demon sublimation, Darius became ruthless. Even if the Roxas Pirates would suffer heavy casualties today, he would keep most of the navy here. He said coldly, "You can't stop me. Over the years, I have never taken the initiative to cause trouble to your navy, but you have come to cause trouble to me again and again. If I don't teach you a profound lesson today, you really think I am made of clay, right?"

As he spoke, Darius' body quickly moved towards the navy. The Yamata-no-Orochi was very fast. As long as he wanted to chase, those ordinary navy would have no way to escape from the range of the demon's sublimation. They would become Darius's continuous blood packs. Soon, blue and white energy bubbles appeared on Darius' face again, and then began to condense, forming eight Yamata-no-Orochi cannons.

Slit also said tenderly: "Damn pirates, your existence is the biggest stain on this world. If pirates like you don't die, the innocent civilians in this world will be frightened. Our navy is here to arrest you in order to maintain world peace."

Darius grinned grimly: "Maintain world peace? Ha ha ha, your strength is not worthy of your determination. Just watch! These 40,000 navy soldiers will all be killed by me because of your stupidity." The eight Yamata cannons in the mouth of the Yamata no Orochi have been condensed and are about to be fired.

"Asshole, your opponent is me..." Slit roared angrily and rushed up again: "The biggest wheel, the Six Kings Spear..."

Now, Slit no longer cares about so many things. He uses his most powerful attack every time. Even though the Six Kings Spear, a unique skill with six secrets, consumes a lot of physical strength every time it is released, he doesn't care. The important thing now is to stop Darius' attack.

Hit by the Six Kings Spear again, Darius spat out a mouthful of blood, but Darius forced himself to endure the pain, and then fired all eight Yamata Cannons condensed in his mouth.

Slit was very anxious and didn't care about anything else. He immediately jumped up and blocked a Yamata cannon. With a "bang", the Yamata cannon with a diameter of five or six meters exploded the moment it came into contact with Slit, and blew Slit away. The remaining seven shells fell on the seven warships and exploded directly.

At this time, the navy were almost in despair. They could not get rid of Darius behind them, and their warships were blown up one after another. Some of the slower ones had their lives sucked dry by the shadow demons.

In fact, it's not just the navy. The pirates are not necessarily in a good situation either. Although Darius can control the attacks, the shadow demons released by the demon sublimation do not distinguish between friend and foe. As long as humans are within their range, they will be devoured by these shadow demons and become nutrients for Darius.

"Darius, stop it now, or we will kill them." At this moment, the navy captured hundreds of pirates and put guns to the back of their heads.

Darius also looked over and found that there were actually a few cadres among the pirates. The pirates immediately begged for mercy: "Don't kill us!" "Save us! Captain, I don't want to die yet." "Don't scream, the captain will never save us, give up!"

The battlefield fell into a brief silence. Darius had not expected that the navy, which always claimed to be "just", would use such a despicable method. He grinned and said, "The righteous navy also uses such a despicable method as threats! It seems that your navy's justice is also quite cheap!"

At this time, a commodore pointed a gun at Bakugou's head and said, "Stop talking nonsense. In order to achieve the final victory, even if our navy uses some dishonorable means, it is still dark justice. Besides, there is no need to talk about morality with pirates like you. Darius, if you don't want your important subordinates to die, stop immediately, otherwise I will kill them."

Darius looked at them with a scornful smile: "Humph, hostages? Navy, you actually played such a boring trick. Do you think you can make me surrender by taking a few hostages? I'm not that naive."

As he spoke, red and blue energy bubbles appeared on Darius' body again, and then eight Yamata Cannons condensed out.

The navy was already panicking at this time, and the pirates who were held hostage by the navy were even more panicked. The commodore shouted loudly: "Darius, look carefully, this guy is your cadre Bakuki."

"Captain, no! Please save us!" "Yes! Captain, we are your subordinates!" The pirates also sensed something bad at this moment and shouted for help.

"Well, I see it clearly, so you can go without worry! I will avenge you." After saying that, without any hesitation, eight Yamata cannons were fired towards the navy and the hostages.

The navy was stunned when they saw the eight Yamata cannons flying towards them. Although they did not think that using pirates as hostages would really stop Darius at first, they did not expect Darius to be so ruthless and decisive.

"Boom boom boom..." The continuous explosions instantly burned everything within a thousand meters around. Hundreds of pirates and more than a thousand navy officers were melted in an instant.

This terrified the navy and pirates, even A Shen and Akagi. Although they knew that Darius was cruel and ruthless, they did not expect him to be so cruel. Even Bakki, an old subordinate who had followed Darius for so many years, would be killed without hesitation after he lost his value.

At this time, Darius saw the terror in people's eyes and said in a cold voice: "Listen to all members of the Roxas Pirates. The world is so cruel. The strong survive and the weak die. Immediately use the weapons in your hands to kill all the surrounding navy. Those who dare to surrender to the navy and those who dare to be deserters will be executed after I have dealt with the navy. Now make your choice! Either take up weapons to kill the navy, or be killed by the navy, or be killed by me. There is no need for trash in my pirate group. If you can't kill the enemy, then die quickly!"

All of a sudden, after hearing Darius' words, the navy and the pirates were all terrified. The navy was deeply shocked by Darius's cruelty. This pirate was so ruthless even to his own subordinates, so how would he treat them, the navy!

The pirates were also terrified, but it was only for a moment. Soon, someone reacted: "Damn it, brothers, don't be afraid, no one can defeat Lord Darius, kill the marines." "That's right, Lord Darius is invincible, don't be afraid, kill them all together." "Besides, with Bakki and the others dead, a top cadre position has been vacated. If we kill a few more marines, maybe we can also compete for the top cadre position."

Originally, nearly one-fifth of the pirates surrendered, and the morale of the Roxas Pirates was almost on the verge of collapse, but Darius gave them hope with his invincibility, and also let these pirates see what the end of surrendering to the navy would be. Darius had clearly stated that anyone who dared to escape or surrender would die, and this desperate battle made the pirates of the Roxas Pirates burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and began to fight the navy to the death.

Slit, who had just been blown away, also spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at the huge monster in front of him, Darius's ruthlessness made him unable to find any weakness. This kind of ruthless pirate was the most terrifying existence in this sea. And because of what Darius had just said, the morale of the pirates became high.

Moreover, he had already hit him so many times with the largest wheel, the Six Kings Spear, but he still couldn't stop him? He had miscalculated. He no longer expected to defeat Darius. He just wanted more navy to return alive. However, in this situation, Darius would continue to destroy the warships. If he ordered a retreat, it would be a heavy blow to the morale of the navy, and even a crushing defeat. In order to let more navy survive, he had to defeat the Roxas Pirates and shouted loudly: "All navy listen to my order, fight to the death with these pirates, justice will prevail."

"Justice will prevail..." The navy men also roared in high spirits. They also understood that it was impossible for these pirates to surrender now, so they did not expect to arrest them and just killed them all.

"Ha ha ha, that's it, come on, come on!" Darius, who transformed into the Yamata-no-Orochi, continuously spit out Yamata-no-Orochi cannons from his mouth, destroying the navy's warships one by one, leaving no chance for the navy to escape.

"Damn it! Let's attack together and kill Darius. As long as we kill him, the rest of the pirates will be no match for him." "Yes, let's attack together. Even if he has a strong recovery ability in this state, there must be a limit! Let's attack together those who can use Armament Haki." Then, one by one, the naval officers started attacking Darius with guns and cannons. Darius, who transformed into the form of Yamata no Orochi, had a huge body and did not need to aim at all. The bullets and shells wrapped with Armament Haki penetrated the snake scales one by one, causing Darius to suffer great pain.

"Ha ha ha, great fun, keep going! You can't kill me at this level." Darius laughed wildly. Although the navy's attack did break his snake scales, the power was greatly weakened. It was just a minor skin injury. With the help of the shadow demon released by the demon sublimation, Darius's recovery ability was several times faster than that of the awakening animal-type ability user.

In other words, Darius's life recovery speed is proportional to the number of people around him. Now Darius is constantly moving, and within the range of his demonic sublimation, there are at least hundreds or even thousands of navy men. Their vitality is constantly being sucked away by Darius and becomes blood packs that heal Darius' injuries.
