One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

Blue Crystal suggested at this time: "Waterboarding will work."

Darius frowned slightly when he heard this punishment, and Blue Crystal continued, "When interrogating, I often use this punishment. It is very effective. This punishment will not leave the slightest scar on the person's body, but it can make people extremely painful, just like a drowning person, and can deeply feel despair and death."

Hearing this, although they didn't know what waterboarding was, they knew it was related to water just by hearing the name. Moreover, Blue Crystal also said that this punishment was very painful. When they thought of being drowned, the scene of themselves drowning in the water immediately emerged in their minds. This made the maids and canaries breathe heavily, with a strong feeling of suffocation, and their eyes were full of fear. They could only kneel on the ground and knock their heads on the deck, trembling all over, and begged even more desperately: "Master, spare us! We won't dare to do it again." "Master, can you punish someone else?" "Wuwuwu, please spare us, master, we will never dare to do it again..."

They were all frightened and at a loss as to what to do. Thinking of the possible punishment that would follow, they couldn't help crying again.

Darius listened to the crying and said coldly, "Don't cry, it's just a water torture, why are you crying? It won't kill anyone. After all, she is my woman, Darius. You should at least have some willpower! Three water tortures, twenty seconds each time, so that you can remember this lesson. Then, starting tomorrow, let everyone start training. Even if they can't kill the enemy, at least they should be able to protect themselves."

Then, Darius didn't want to listen to their cries and pleas for mercy anymore, so he ordered, "Red-chain Snake, take them down to be punished!"

Upon hearing the time, the girls were a little surprised. Twenty seconds each time, and three times is only one minute. This made the girls feel that the time was not very long. They were also confident that they could hold their breath for twenty seconds.

However, when they really started to be punished, they realized that this water torture seemed to be a little different from what they knew. It was not the kind of water torture that pressed their heads into the water, but they were tied to a wooden board with a 15-degree tilt, lying on the board with their heads upside down, and their mouths were stuffed with a towel, leaving their noses exposed, and then water was poured directly into their noses. Because their mouths were blocked, there was no way to spit out the water, and the women instantly felt a sense of despair as if they were drowning.

Two days later, Darius received his brand new bounty.

At this time, on the Ironblood in a certain area of ​​the West Sea, Darius looked at his bounty and said with a smile: "This title sounds much better than the previous 'Axe'. What do you think! Red Chain Snake?"

"Yes, and even more domineering than before." The red-chained snake sitting next to Darius nodded. She was still as beautiful and cool as ever, and also a bit charming.

"And your bounty has also increased. This strength is enough to show off even in the New World. Of course, compared with the Whitebeard and Golden Lion pirate groups, it is still a little worse." At this time, the bounty in front of Darius read: "Fear Nova, Axe King Darius, bounty of 15 billion berries."

Next to Darius there are dozens of bounty notices, some of which are for cadres whose bounties have been increased, and some are for pirates who have just received bounties.

'A Shen, the vice-captain of the Noxus Pirates, offers a bounty of 2 million berries.'

"Red Chain Snake, the highest-ranking officer of the Noxus Pirates, with a bounty of 1 million berries."

"Kuang Long, the highest-ranking officer of the Noxus Pirates, with a bounty of 8000 million berries."

"Kai Crow, the highest-ranking officer of the Noxus Pirates, with a bounty of 1 million berries."

"Emerald, the Noxus Pirates' top officer, bounty of 1 million berries"

'Black Impermanence, the highest ranking officer of the Noxus Pirates, bounty of 9000 million berries.'

'Bai Wuchang, the highest-ranking officer of the Noxus Pirates, bounty of 9000 million Baileys.'

"Snake, a leader of the Noxus Pirates, bounty of 5600 million berries."

..............................

At this time, the bigwigs from all over the world have to pay attention to today's latest newspapers.

More than half a year ago, Darius' bounty was only 5 million berries. At that time, it was understandable that the big guys in the New World didn't care. Although a bounty of 5 million could be considered as a hegemon in the New World, it was still far behind those top pirates. But now, Darius' bounty has reached 15 billion, which is shocking.

Even in the New World, those whose bounties exceed 15 billion berries are all top-notch warriors, reaching the level of billion. There are not many pirates in the entire New World whose bounties are higher than Darius.

At this time, in the Grand Line, the Roger Pirates.

"Darius!" Roger looked at the newspaper in his hand. This was not the first time he heard this name. He had heard before that a powerful pirate appeared in the West Sea, and that pirate was Darius. Unexpectedly, in just over half a year, his wealth increased from 5 million Beli to 15 billion Beli.

Jabba raised his lips and guessed, "If we only defeated the navy of the West Sea, there would be no way we could get such a high bounty. We must have defeated a stronger navy or killed the Tianlong people to get such a high bounty!"

Rayleigh also analyzed: "The most important thing is that this guy has not entered the New World so far, and has not even entered the Grand Line. He has received such a high bounty just in the West Sea. I guess the high-ranking navy officials may have suffered a great loss in the West Sea!"

Roger also laughed and said, "Hahahaha, this guy seems to be a member of the Rocks Pirates! How scary! Even though the Rocks Pirates have been disbanded for so many years, the remnants of the Rocks Pirates have emerged one by one."

Over in the New World, after seeing Darius' new bounty, Golden Lion Shiki was shocked again. He had originally thought highly of this kid, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful. How did he get such a high bounty when he hasn't even entered the Grand Line?

"What on earth did this kid do to make the Navy offer him such a high bounty, Dread Nova, Axe King?" Golden Lion Shiki looked at the bounty list, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he grinned wildly, "Hahahahaha, interesting, interesting, he hasn't even entered the Grand Line yet, but he's already been recognized as an emperor by the Navy?"

Er Kang, who was next to Shiki, said, "I've known for a long time that this guy is not simple. His bounty is now 1.5 billion Baileys. This bounty is second only to yours even in our Sky Pirates, Shiki."

Shiki grinned and said jokingly, "Yeah! It seems that the little devil back then has grown to this point. It seems that he has been lurking all these years. Now he has received a bounty of 15 billion before entering the new world. It is really amazing!"

Erkang also asked with some interest: "Do you still want to recruit him? I don't think he will agree easily."

Shi Ji listened with a grim expression and said, "Of course, what's more, he is originally my subordinate. If he dares to refuse me, then the only outcome is death."

Erkang was very clear about what kind of personality Jing Shiqi had, and chuckled: "Then I hope he can recognize the situation by then!"

On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard also saw Darius's new bounty. After a moment's silence, he said, "First it was Kaido, and now it's Darius. Those trainees on the ship back then have all grown up!" When he said this, Whitebeard also looked at Marco.

At this time, a tall man with phoenix eyes and thick eyebrows, long and wild black hair, especially the top gathered into a large round plane, with a prominent widow's peak and triangular sideburns. He was wearing an orange kimono, most of his legs were exposed, and there were crescent moon patterns on both chests of the kimono. He had huge purple and white ropes tied around his shoulders and waist, and the ones on his shoulders fell on his back. He had two sabers tied around his waist. He made a funny expression and came to Whitebeard's side and said, "Oh, Xiaobaiji, who is this guy! This bounty, one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million, one billion, one billion, one billion, one and a half billion Baileys, this bounty is really high!"

The person who came was Kozuki Oden, the daimyo of Kuri in Wano Country, and now a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Kozuki Oden took the newspaper from Whitebeard and said, "Darius, do you know this guy?"

Whitebeard didn't pay attention to Kozuki Oden's rude little detail, and said calmly: "Well, I know him, but we're not familiar with each other."

Kozuki Oden looked at the bounty on Darius in his hand. He had been going to sea with Whitebeard for several months and knew something about the so-called bounty. It was generally issued by the Navy and the World Government. The strength of the criminal being rewarded could be roughly known by the amount of the bounty.

"This guy has a bounty of 15 billion! He must be a strong man! And he looks very young!"

Whitebeard listened and replied: "Well, in terms of age, it seems that he is three years younger than you."

"Oh, so powerful! But why is my bounty so much less than his!" Kozuki Oden said a little depressed, and took out his own bounty list, which showed a bounty of 4 million.

Whitebeard also said calmly: "Your bounty is not low, and you have just been out to sea for a short time. After a long time, your bounty will definitely increase."
