One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

Darius snorted coldly. He naturally knew the level of his subordinates. He said coldly: "Okay, let's talk about business! Who are you going to attack?"

Silver Axe stopped teasing Darius and got straight to the point: "Right now, the most powerful pirate groups in the New World are the Roger Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Hiku Pirates. My target is the Hiku Pirates."

"Okay, sure." Darius agreed without even thinking about it, and then said, "However, all this will have to wait until we go to the new world first. During this time, we need to accumulate strength first. How about that?"

"Of course. With our current strength, we are no match for the Hiku Pirates. My suggestion is that after we go to the New World, we can contact the Wang Zhi Pirates. Although Wang Zhi is now forced to submit to Shiki, that guy is also an ambitious man and will never surrender so easily." Silver Axe also agreed.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing after we go to the New World!" Darius was not familiar with Wang Zhi. To be honest, he was not familiar with Silver Axe either. Joining forces with such an old guy was just a waste of interest. After all, the Flying Pirates were indeed strong enough. He said seriously: "We can form an alliance, but there is one thing I must make clear in advance, otherwise it is better not to form an alliance."

Silver Axe motioned Darius to continue, and Darius said in a cold voice, "We are all pirates, and each of us has our own voyages, so we will continue to sail separately. If we decide to attack the Sky Pirates, we will join forces. Of course, if the Sky Pirates or other pirate groups take the initiative to attack the Noxus Pirates or the Silver Axe Pirates, if the other party asks for help, we must come and ask for it."

Silver Axe also laughed loudly after hearing this and said, "Haha, of course. This is the basic trust of an alliance! If you can't even do this, then what's the point of concluding an alliance treaty!"

Finally, Darius's true intentions were exposed. He grinned and said, "Okay, the last point, which is also the most important point of our alliance this time, is who will be the leader of this alliance. What I mean is very simple. Whoever is stronger will be the leader. What do you think?"

How could Silver Axe not understand what Darius meant when he heard this? He grinned and said, "Young people are arrogant. You mean to command me?"

Darius raised his lips with a sinister smile. "This sea is so cruel, and the strong prey on the weak. Although you may have more experience than me, I only recognize strength. If your strength is stronger than mine, not to mention giving you the leadership, even if the Noxus Pirates submit to you, there will be no problem."

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense. Silver Axe's face turned pale. He didn't expect Darius to speak so arrogantly, as if he had him in his hands. Was he confident in his own strength? Was he definitely stronger than him?

If Silver Axe was younger, he would not be able to bear the humiliation. But now, after suffering several defeats in the New World, Silver Axe has become more restrained. He said in a cold voice: "I say, Darius, are you really sincere about forming an alliance with me? If you are not sincere, then it is better not to form this alliance."

At this time, Ah Shen wanted to remind Darius. After all, Darius' tone from beginning to end was that he wanted Silver Axe to surrender. This was not the attitude of an ally at all! Moreover, this place was so close to the Navy Headquarters that it was not suitable to go to war with the Silver Axe Pirates.

Darius was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay! In that case, then tell me what we should do if we disagree. Many allies have broken up their alliances because of disagreements."

Just as Silver Axe was about to speak, Darius said directly, "I have already thought of a solution. That is, we should each do it in our own way. There are only two clauses in the covenant that both of us need to abide by. One is to jointly deal with the Flying Pirates, and the second is that when the other pirate group encounters danger and asks for help, we must rescue them immediately. How do you think?"

Silver Axe hesitated for a moment, then grinned and said, "Haha, young people are young people, they speak quickly. Okay, I agree."

Afterwards, a pontoon bridge was built between the two ships, the Dread Nova and the Destruction, and a large jar of wine was placed in the middle. Darius, Silver Axe and senior officials from both sides cut their fingers, and strands of blood flowed into the large jar. The captains and senior officials from both sides drank the blood wine one after another, representing the formation of an alliance between the two sides.

After the alliance was signed, the Noxus Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates also started a banquet. Silver Axe proposed that the two sides exchange messengers and leave their phone numbers together. Darius did not refuse and chose to exchange messengers with Silver Axe. Darius sent Kuanglong to the Silver Axe Pirates as a messenger, and Silver Axe sent his adopted daughter Diana over.

Since the Silver Axe Pirates arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago several days earlier than the Noxus Pirates and had already completed the coating work on their ships, after exchanging envoys, they went to Fishman Island first. The Noxus Pirates had dozens of warships in total, and it would take some time to complete the coating. During this time, the members of the Noxus Pirates were free to move around on the island, but A Shen also deliberately reminded them not to cause trouble here.

Meanwhile, at Mangrove No. 69 in the Sabaody Archipelago, Marshal Kong, who was temporarily stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago, also breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Silver Axe had left, there would be fewer crises. Now there were only the Noxus Pirates and the lone ranger Red Earl in the Sabaody Archipelago. As for the Red Earl, Marshal Kong was not very worried, as this guy generally wouldn't do anything reckless. But it was hard to say about the Noxus Pirates, as they were a group of villains who bullied civilians and did all kinds of evil. They had to be extremely vigilant.

"Boom boom boom..." At this moment, in the temporary marshal's office of No. 69 Mangrove, even though Kong was in charge of the Sabaody Archipelago, he still had a lot of work to do. But at this moment, he suddenly heard bursts of noise coming from outside.

"what happened."

At this moment, the telephone on the Marshal's desk rang. As soon as Kong answered it, a panicked voice came from inside: "Oh no, Marshal, pirates, the navy has invaded."

"What?" Kong was shocked. This was the naval branch of the Sabaody Archipelago! And he was in charge.

The person on the other end of the line was already terrified: "It's the Red Earl, the great pirate Red Earl is calling. Vice Admiral Philip is leading the navy to stop the Red Earl now! But I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for much longer."

"What, Red Earl?" Kong's face turned pale. He had thought that the Noxus Pirates would cause trouble on the island, and he had also thought that the Silver Axe Pirates would cause trouble on the island, but he did not expect that the Red Earl, as a lone ranger, would cause such trouble, and he even took the initiative to attack the Navy Branch of No. 69 Red Tree. This made Kong feel like his old face was slapped. After hanging up the phone, he walked directly outside.

At this time, on the training square No. 69, a large group of sailors fell down around. Some were knocked unconscious by the Red Earl's domineering power, and some were killed by his sword pressure. At this time, Vice Admiral Philip was holding on here, but his swordsmanship was far inferior to that of Red Earl Redfield.

A flash of red light passed by, and Philip was knocked to the ground by a sword. Redfield looked at the fallen Philip, and said with a hint of contempt: "Humph, is this the level of a vice admiral in the navy? It's far worse than Garp."

"Damn it! Red Earl, why did you attack us?" Philip asked, trying hard to hold on.

"As expected of an animal-type ability user, his vitality is tenacious." Redfield had already put the blade back into the scabbard and said coldly: "I came here to challenge Admiral Kong. He has been in the Navy Headquarters before, and it was too difficult for me to challenge him. But now it's different. He actually appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago. So I must test his sword no matter what."

"Is it because of such a boring reason that you attacked the Navy branch?" At this time, Marshal Kong also came out and looked at the fallen navy soldiers around him with anger in his eyes. He had been a Navy marshal for so many years, but this was the first time he was so angry. He was actually provoked to this extent. He said to Philip, "Vice Admiral Philip, you should withdraw first! This man is not someone you can deal with."

"Yes, Marshal Kong." Philip immediately stood up and left after hearing this.

Seeing Kong appear, Redfield smiled and said, "To be honest, I have fought against the masters of the navy, including Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, and Slit. As for the pirates, I have also challenged Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, Whitebeard, Roger, and Golden Lion. But I have never challenged you, the man who stands at the top of the navy. I came here specially to give it a try today. I hope you will not let me down."

Kong stepped forward, took off his cloak of justice, and said in a cold voice with a cold face: "Humph, since I became the admiral of the navy, I haven't fought well in all these years. Today, I will arrest you, a pirate, with my own hands."

After Philip left, he found a deserted place, took out the Den Den Mushi immediately, and reported the matter.

In a tavern in the Sabaody Archipelago, Darius and his subordinates had booked the tavern. Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi in his arms rang, which surprised Darius. He answered the call and said, "Hello..."

"Master, it's me..." Philip's voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
