One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

Roger stared at Darius, his heart filled with indescribable shock. Just now, he witnessed with his own eyes that the scar on Darius' body caused by his divine avoidance was miraculously healed in just half a minute, as if time had gone back and he had never been injured.

Prior to this, Roger had used his excellent observation Haki to see through the ghostly shadows that came from Darius' body. These shadows were like greedy gluttons, silently devouring the vitality of the surrounding life, and then quickly returned to Darius' body, as if they were the source of his power.

Roger had tried to fight these invisible threats with his Armament Haki and even Domineering Haki, but was surprised to find that neither the sharp slash nor the mind-shattering Domineering Haki shock could completely destroy them. Although those shadows could be split, they could repair themselves in a very short time, as if they were immortal. Once penetrated by these shadows, one would feel an indescribable weakness invading the whole body, as if the vitality was ruthlessly deprived.

"Is this the true power of your devil fruit?" Roger's voice was a little solemn, and he looked at Darius with a sharp gaze, "Such a strange and unpredictable ability is indeed amazing." He knew that facing such an invisible enemy, any delay could be fatal. Reason told him that he must act quickly to end this battle.

Hearing this, Darius raised a cruel smile, his eyes flashing with madness: "Roger, I have heard of your strength a long time ago. Now there are only two of us here. Next! I want you to help me awaken the Conqueror's Haki, otherwise, I don't mind letting your companions pay the price for your hesitation."

Companions can be said to be Roger's Achilles' heel. He cherishes his companions very much. Hearing Darius actually use his companions to threaten him, Roger was furious: "I will not allow you to hurt my companions."

Seeing Roger was enraged, Darius also felt his blood boiling. Facing the future Pirate King, Darius also wanted to see the gap between him and him. He grinned and said, "Then, come on!"

After the words fell, the two snake heads on Darius' shoulders began to open their mouths: "Sound waves, poisonous mist..."

In an instant, a sharp ultrasonic sound came out of the snake's mouth, and purple poisonous mist spewed out of the other snake's mouth.

Ultrasonic waves cannot be avoided, but the sprayed poisonous mist was like a water column. Roger immediately jumped to avoid it. Soon, the poisonous mist continued to spread. The purple mist was extremely corrosive, just like strong acid. After Roger dodged, it fell on the house behind him, and the house was immediately corroded.

Roger saw the corrosive power of the poison mist and understood the power of this terrifying toxin: "Hey, hey, hey, it will be troublesome if we get contaminated by this stuff."

"Thunder, hurricane..." Two streams of elemental energies spewed out from the two snake heads.

"Hey, hey, hey, can't every snake head use an ability? The ability of this mythical beast is too perverted!" Roger was also surprised at this time, and once again used the Observation Haki that could foresee the future to dodge the attack. He had also seen mythical beast users before, and originally thought that Kaido's Blue Dragon ability was already very powerful, possessing the four elemental energies of wind, fire, thunder and cloud, but Darius' devil fruit ability seemed even more perverted.

After dodging the attack, Roger increased his speed suddenly and came in front of Darius at high speed. He swung Ace in his hand with a powerful force to launch an extremely sharp sword pressure. Darius saw Roger suddenly appear again. His observation Haki was completely unable to predict the opponent's actions. He could only rely on his naked eyes to watch. He hurriedly raised his axe to resist, but it was too late. A strong sword energy fell on Darius. Darius spat out a mouthful of blood and was knocked out again.

Darius flew backwards, coughing up blood. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Roger not far away with murderous intent. He said angrily, "What kind of move is this? Why can't my Observation Haki predict your actions at all?"

"This move is called Observation Kill, and it is specifically used to restrain Observation Haki." Roger saw Darius get up again and explained, with a serious look in his eyes. Darius' body was very strong. He was hit twice by him head-on but he was still able to stand up. This reminded him of another man, Kaido, who also had the ability of an animal-type mythical beast. Kaido's physical defense seemed to be very strong, or it could be said that these animal-type ability users all have high defense.

"Kill by Seeing and Hearing?" Darius reacted immediately after hearing the name. The Red-Haired Shanks in the original work seemed to have this move. Now it seems that Red-Haired Shanks also learned it from Roger.

However, Darius had no idea what the principle of this move was. He hadn't even awakened his Observation Haki. Even though he was stabbed twice by Roger, and Darius could feel that the two slashes just now contained Conqueror's Haki. Even so, he still had no signs of awakening his Conqueror's Haki. Could it be that he really didn't have his Conqueror's Haki?

Unable to figure it out, Darius simply asked Roger directly: "Damn it! Roger, how can one awaken the Conqueror's Haki? Or how did you awaken the Conqueror's Haki in the first place?"

Roger was also a little surprised when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Oh, you are still thinking about this matter! Conqueror's Haki is innate, maybe you don't have this power at all!"

"Impossible..." Darius retorted angrily as he listened.

Darius has always believed that he definitely possesses this power. After all, he is not only a time traveler, but also possesses a system. He has eaten the strongest of all devil fruits, the mythical beast fruit. It can be said that all the buffs are stacked up. How could he not have the domineering aura?

Roger was also a little confused. He didn't understand why Darius believed it so firmly, but Conqueror's Haki is really innate, and people with Conqueror's Haki can only be said to go further, while people without Conqueror's Haki can also reach the top of the world, just like Zephyr in the navy. He does not have Conqueror's Haki, but his strength is still feared by the admirals.

Roger's lips curled up in a teasing manner: "Nothing is impossible. This world is sometimes so unfair. Your strength is indeed very strong, but if you really possessed Conqueror's Haki, you should have awakened it long ago. You haven't awakened it yet. There is only one reason, that is, you don't have Conqueror's Haki at all, and you are destined not to become a king."

Hearing this, Darius's expression turned slightly colder, and he sneered, "Can't you become the king?"

"That's right." Roger also smiled confidently: "In this sea, as long as there are powerful and ambitious pirates who can reach the top of the world, they are undoubtedly the kings. Even if you are very strong, but lack the domineering aura, you are destined not to go far in the future."

Darius listened to Roger's words and thought to himself, could it be that he really didn't have Conqueror's Haki? Because of the 'League of Legends' system, Darius has put all his energy into gaining experience, upgrading, and purchasing equipment over the years. Even when he obtained the Snake Snake Fruit, the Mythical Beast, the Yamata no Orochi form, such a god-level devil fruit, he hesitated for a long time before deciding to eat it. Because since Darius crossed into the world of One Piece, he knew that with the help of the system, he would become the king of this world sooner or later, so he always assumed that he had Conqueror's Haki, but he just hadn't awakened it.

However, after hearing what Roger said, Darius became a little suspicious.

Darius sneered and said contemptuously, "Humph, you almost fooled me. I don't have Conqueror's Haki, so I'm destined not to go far. This sentence is definitely the funniest joke. I don't have Conqueror's Haki, but I have something far beyond Conqueror's Haki, which is incomparable to any other power."

Roger was also a little curious when he saw Darius like this. Darius raised his lips again with confidence and said, "Tell me, is there another possibility?"

Roger was stunned, and then he saw Darius's expression becoming confident again. Darius said slowly, "It is said that only when people are in desperate situations can they exert strength beyond their own limits. And I have never encountered an opponent stronger than me along the way."

That's right, in Darius's opinion, the power of Conqueror's Haki can only be awakened when one is in a desperate situation and desires power. Darius had the skill "Destiny" a long time ago, which can be said to be Darius's biggest life-saving trump card. With this trump card in hand, Darius will never be forced into a desperate situation in the true sense. Moreover, as time goes by, Darius will upgrade higher and higher, the practice of devil fruit and Haki will become stronger and stronger, and the equipment will become better and better. It is simply impossible to force Darius into a desperate situation.

Roger listened and smiled contemptuously: "Young people are still too arrogant."

After Roger said this, he said no more and attacked Darius again.

Darius hesitated for a moment, then rushed towards Roger, holding up Black Cleaver and roaring, "Noxian Guillotine..."

A red light flashed in Roger's pupils. Facing Darius' attack, he did not choose to fight back. He dodged the thundering blow with a flash. The axe blade carrying the axe energy fell on the ground, and a thousand-meter-long crack appeared on the ground in an instant. All the houses along the way were split in two.

Roger also seized this opportunity and swung out a red sword pressure from Ace in his hand again.

"Damn, this Jianwensha is too disgusting!" Darius looked at the sword energy that was coming again, and had no choice but to raise the Black Cleaver to defend. However, while Darius was defending, Roger's body was also moving in the air at high speed, and every time he moved, he was still slashing out red sword pressure.
