One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

A few days later, a shocking news swept across the ocean. The only overlord of the New World, Captain Rocks of the Rocks Pirates, was defeated and killed by Vice Admiral Garp in the fierce God Valley War. Tens of thousands of pirates of the Rocks Pirates were either killed in the battle or captured.

However, in the small town of Siberia in the West Sea, the remnants of the Rocks Pirates successfully evacuated from the smoke of the God Valley War.

In that brutal war, many people were defeated by the navy and the World Government, and some pirates chose to leave after looting treasures. When Rocks was besieged by Garp, Roger and the Knights of God, no one around him was willing to lend a hand. In the end, the former overlord of the sea died tragically under the beating.

At the same time, in the small town of Siberia, the male civilians here were almost slaughtered, and the women who stayed behind became the targets of the Rocks Pirates' desires. After these pirates had vented their lust, the women would either be killed or sold.

All these atrocities were just the Rocks Pirates' way of venting their anger and frustration after their disastrous defeat in the Valley of the Gods. They could not bear to see their once invincible pirate group suffer such a heavy blow, so these innocent civilians became the victims of their venting of anger.

The ordinary pirates of the Rocks Pirates were very sad about the death of Captain Rocks. After all, most of them truly admired Rocks, and they also believed that Captain Rocks would lead them to overthrow the World Government and conquer the ocean. However, the strongest pirate on the ocean just fell like that.

But the cadres disagreed. Just like Whitebeard, Golden Lion, BIG MOM, Wang Zhi and others, the reason why they joined the Rocks Pirates was because they were restricted by Rocks' powerful military force. After all, these people are men with domineering aura, so how could they be inferior to others?

The death of Rocks can be said to have opened the shackles on them, allowing them to officially leave the Rocks Pirates.

At this moment, in a solemn conference room, the elites of the Rocks Pirates gathered together. Shiki the Golden Lion held a cigar in his hand, looked at everyone with deep eyes, and slowly said: "Everyone, Captain Rocks has passed away, how will our future paths unfold?"

For a moment, the venue was silent, and everyone had their own plans in mind. Shiki, whose strength increased greatly due to the power of the Float-Float Fruit, was full of confidence and wanted to replace Rocks and become the overlord of the New World. Before taking the Devil Fruit, his strength was on par with Big Mom, Wang Zhi, John and others, and now he felt that he had surpassed them. If he could inherit the legacy of the Rocks Pirates, he firmly believed that he could quickly become the leader of the New World.

Whitebeard said bluntly: "Since Rocks is no longer here, there is no reason for me to stay in the Rocks Pirates. I plan to leave."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. Although they all had their own little ideas, and most of them wanted to divide up the legacy of the Rocks Pirates, no one had yet broken the window paper. But you, Whitebeard, were not polite at all and directly broke the last layer of window paper right from the start.

Wang Zhi asked curiously: "Newgate, are you really not going to inherit the Rocks Pirates? Even though the captain is gone, the pirates' flag is still flying in the New World. Even if you are not interested in the treasure, you should know what this means!"

White Beard responded calmly: "What I desire is never power, but family." He picked up the bottle, drank it all, then smashed the empty bottle to the ground and turned away.

Seeing this, Shiki hurriedly shouted: "Newgate, you got two devil fruits in the Valley of Gods. You have already taken one of the Tremor-Tremor Fruits, but where is the other one? Since you are leaving, leave that one behind!"

Whitebeard smiled and said, "You mean the Phoenix Fruit? I gave it to Marco a long time ago." As soon as these words came out, several cadres became angry.

"What do you object to?" Whitebeard's eyes flashed with the aura of a tyrant, and the pressure of the tyrant's aura made everyone's heart tremble. They knew Whitebeard's strength very well. Even if he had not taken the devil fruit, he was enough to be feared. Now that his strength has greatly increased, no one dares to provoke him easily.

Seeing this, Shiki had no choice but to give up: "Forget it, since the devil fruit has been taken by Marco, then forget it. Do you plan to take Marco away with you?"

Whitebeard replied coldly: "Of course."

Shiki continued to ask, "So, what are your plans next? Are you ready to return to the New World?"

"No, I plan to travel the four seas first." Whitebeard said bluntly. He knew that after Rocks' death, the pirate group's territory would be reshuffled. He didn't want to get involved in the dispute, and he didn't want to put Marco in danger. Therefore, he planned to make plans after accumulating strength in the Grand Line and the four seas.

Shiki and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. Whitebeard's departure meant they would have a chance to carve up more of the Rocks Pirates' territory.

Shiki looked at the remaining officers and said directly, "I will not beat around the bush. The Rocks Pirates will be disbanded soon. In order to avoid internal strife that would benefit the navy or other forces, I suggest that we divide the territory of the New World peacefully. What do you think?"

John immediately agreed, and the others began to discuss how to divide the Rocks Pirates' inheritance.

Time flies, and two years passed in a flash.

At this moment, on that nameless island, a Yamata no Orochi with a body of more than 200 meters was coiled, with eight snake tails spread out like octopus tentacles. Although it was a snake, its body was extremely large, and its eight huge mouths opened at the same time, instantly spewing out eight energy waves of different attributes, bombarding the sea and stirring up layers of huge waves.

"Ha ha ha, I finally fully control the power of these eight attributes." The snake head in the center laughed triumphantly. Then, the body of the Yamata no Orochi shrank rapidly. In just a dozen seconds, it changed from a giant beast back to a human with a height of only two meters - Darius.

Now, he is over 20 years old and has spent two years on this uninhabited island. Due to the lack of daily necessities on the island, he can only live a life similar to that of a savage, with messy hair and a full beard on his face. However, these are not important to him, after all, he does not feel lonely on this isolated island.

Darius chose to stay here because after taking the Snake Snake Fruit, he discovered the unique ability of the Yamata no Orochi - each snake head has an independent attribute. His main body, the head in the middle, first awakened the ability of poison mist. Later, the other heads also awakened their abilities one after another, with a total of eight attributes: poison, fire, ice, wind, thunder, sand, sound waves, and darkness. Such power is not inferior to Kaido's Blue Dragon ability, and is even stronger.

After realizing the great potential of this god-level devil fruit, Darius decided to stay on the uninhabited island for a while and continue to develop these abilities. He knew his own strength and knew that he could only become stronger through practice. Although two years of practice did not increase his experience points, the development of the two-color domineering and devil fruit made his strength a qualitative leap.

"It's time to continue my voyage." Darius looked back at the simple thatched hut on the island without much nostalgia. The card under his feet flashed, and he activated the skill called "Destiny". In an instant, his figure disappeared on the isolated island.

However, when the light of the card faded, Darius found that he did not appear in other places as expected, and there was still a vast ocean in front of him. He was shocked to find that although he successfully activated the "Destiny" skill to teleport, he seemed to have been teleported to another isolated island.

"This skill is too unreliable!" Darius couldn't help but curse. He originally expected to leave this isolated island, but he was trapped on another isolated island again. However, he quickly calmed down and ran to the highest point of the island and began to observe the situation of this new island. Although this island is slightly larger than the previous one, it may be about 70,000 to 80,000 square kilometers, and the shape is different from the previous island. The shape of this island is oval.

However, Darius' eyes narrowed because he discovered that there seemed to be traces of human life on this island.

After using his Observation Haki again, Darius confirmed that there were indeed people on the island, which made Darius overjoyed.
