One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

On the other side, there is mangrove No. 5.

Vice Admiral Slit led thousands of navy officers to the place. Seeing the Noxus Pirates and Darius who had transformed into the Yamata no Orochi, he said with cold eyes, "Darius, I have brought the devil fruit here. Where is the Crimean Saint? And the rest of the navy officers! Release them immediately."

At this time, Darius, who had transformed into the Yamata no Orochi, could not speak, and the god standing on the bow said, "Lieutenant General Slit, since you have brought the things, then take them out and let us have a look! We need to hand over the goods and the people at the same time."

When Slit saw Ah Shen appear, he snorted coldly. Then fifteen marines came out with boxes. They opened the boxes in their hands one after another, and inside were devil fruits. Slit said coldly: "Okay, you have seen the devil fruits. Where is the Crimean Saint? And where are the other marines you captured!"

Ah Shen looked at the fifteen devil fruits and said coldly: "All the navy are on that ship, as for the Celestial Dragons!"

As God spoke, he waved his hand, and the members of the Noxus Pirates pressed up Crimea Saint and Vice Admiral Philip. However, at this time, both of them were tied up, their eyes were covered, and their mouths were gagged. Slit looked at the Celestial Dragons and Philip being humiliated like this, and he could imagine what the rest of the navy looked like. He said angrily: "Release Crimea Saint and all the navy immediately."

"No rush, we need to inspect the goods first." Ah Shen said coldly.

As he said that, he winked at the Serpentine next to him, and Serpentine immediately walked towards the navy with a devil fruit encyclopedia in her hand. Slit was unhappy about it, so he had to ask his navy to introduce these devil fruits to Serpentine, and asked Serpentine to compare them with the encyclopedia one by one, and asked, "There are fifteen devil fruits, why are there only three parahuman devil fruits, and the other twelve are all animal-type devil fruits."

Slit listened and snorted coldly: "Humph, you only asked for fifteen devil fruits. Aren't animal-type devil fruits? Besides, is there anything wrong with these devil fruits?"

Facing Slit's momentum, the Serpentine was a little afraid, and then turned back to the Noxus Pirates' camp and told A Shen about the situation. A Shen immediately said, "Very good, but we still need to further inspect the goods. After all, the devil fruit can be disguised. Your navy and the world government behind you must have this ability."

Slit became a little anxious after listening to this. As the person in charge of rescuing the Celestial Dragons this time, he naturally knew that except for the three parahuman-type devil fruits which were real, the other twelve animal-type devil fruits were all fake. Slit was also very worried that the secret would be exposed.

A Shen said coldly: "Give me the three superhuman devil fruits, the leopard fruit, and the red wolf fruit. After we confirm their authenticity, you can give us the remaining devil fruits, and then we will naturally release the celestial dragons."

"Okay, you release Crimea Saint first, and then I will give you the devil fruit." Slit snorted and said coldly.

Ah Shen listened and shook his head and refused, "I am not sure whether these devil fruits are real or fake. I dare not let them go. How about this! I will release Lieutenant General Philip first as a sign of our sincerity. Then you hand over the five devil fruits to us. After we confirm the authenticity of the devil fruits, we can hand over the people and the goods."

"Not just Vice Admiral Philip, but also the rest of the navy." Slit said with cold eyes.

A Shen raised a scornful smile and said, "You think too much. The only person who can be exchanged for these fifteen devil fruits is this Celestial Dragon. As for the rest of the navy, if you want them to live, you must pay a ransom."

"This is impossible! You are just raising the price at the last minute. Our navy will never win." Slit shouted angrily. This situation was too frustrating for him, after all, he had hostages on his side.

A Shen raised a cold smile and continued, "These fifteen devil fruits are the bargaining chips we agreed on with the World Government. They are only exchanged for the Crimean Saint. The rest of the navy are our prisoners. If you want to save them, you need another ransom. Or do you not plan to save the Celestial Dragons?"

As he said that, Ah Shen walked over and pulled the rag out of the Tianlong's mouth, and the Crimean Saint immediately roared angrily: "Navy, you bunch of rubbish, hurry up and save me, the rest of the navy is fine, just give them what they want, quickly."

After hearing what the Celestial Dragon said, Slit's face became even colder. At this time, a CP agent beside Slit whispered, "Lieutenant General Slit, the World Government's order is to give priority to rescuing the Crimean Saint."

After hearing the CP agent's reminder, Slit had no choice but to agree: "Okay, then let's exchange Lieutenant General Phillips first."

Afterwards, the navy sent five devil fruits over, and the Noxus Pirates also untied the chains on Philip and released him.

"Are you okay?" Sleet was the first person to ask after Philip returned to the navy camp. After all, Philip had been his adjutant for several years and they had always had a good relationship. Now that he saw his former partner regain his freedom, he was naturally happy.

"It's nothing serious." Philip said a little weakly.

"You take a rest first, and leave the rest to me." Slit said soothingly.

As for the Noxus Pirates, after they also got five devil fruits, the Noxus Pirates were all shocked, but A Shen was still very calm and said, "We don't know whether these devil fruits are real or fake." As he said that, A Shen took out the Parahuman-type Cold Fruit and the Animal-type Red Wolf Fruit and said, "Let's try these two devil fruits! Beauty Snake, Demon, you two eat it!"

"Yes." After hearing this, the two happily took the devil fruit.

Although they knew that these devil fruits might be fake, they were devil fruits! And if the World Government really gave them fake devil fruits, wouldn't they be afraid that they would kill the Celestial Dragons? So the two of them didn't doubt it and immediately ate one devil fruit each.

After the two ate the devil fruit, their bodies immediately began to change. Cold air began to emerge from the serpentine's body, and a layer of frost began to form on the ground beneath their feet. The demon also entered the devil fruit state and turned into a red wolf, but not in human-beast form, but in pure beast form.

"Hahahaha, is this the power of the devil fruit? I can feel it, a constant supply of power is pouring into my body." The ghost looked at his current situation and said excitedly.

The same was true for the beauty snake. She could sense a new power in her body. At this moment, a layer of ice crystals gradually appeared in her palms due to the cold air.

The rest of the cadres were also looking excited, as they had long wanted the devil fruits. After all, the top cadres were already users with special abilities, so there was a high chance that these devil fruits would fall into their possession.

When A Shen saw the appearance of the serpentine and the minions, a hint of excitement appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he immediately distributed the remaining three devil fruits to the other three cadres.

Soon, the other three also gained the power of the devil fruit. Slit, who was standing opposite, was also a little confused. Didn't the World Government say that those animal-type devil fruits were fake? How come this doesn't seem to be fake! But Slit didn't think much about it and said coldly: "Okay, quickly release Crimea Saint."

"Okay, one hand over the person and the other hand over the goods." A Shen said coldly. At the same time, he sent people to push the Crimean Saint over, and soon the two sides completed the exchange.

After the Crimean Saint was rescued, he immediately exposed the domineering character of the Celestial Dragons and said angrily: "Navy, kill them, capture these untouchables, I will torture them and make them wish they were dead."

Slit listened and immediately assured: "Please rest assured! Crimea Saint, we will arrest these pirates and escort Crimea Saint away quickly."

Soon, Crimea Saint turned around and left under the protection of CP0, and the Noxus Pirates, who had obtained the devil fruit, immediately gave the devil fruit to ten cadres, trying to improve their strength as much as possible before the war.

At this time, Darius, who transformed into the incarnation of the Yamata no Orochi, had sixteen eyes on eight snake heads glowing red. The next second, three kinds of energy bubbles, red, blue and white, began to appear on his body and began to float out of his body, and then gradually began to merge into a black high-density energy bomb in the air.

Seeing this scene, Slit's face suddenly became ugly. He had seen this move before and had personally experienced the destructive power of this move. Looking in that direction, it was clearly the ship that was holding the navy. He shouted, "Darius, what do you want to do? Do you want to become a complete enemy of the navy and the World Government?"

The cadres had already known for a long time that this so-called deal was actually fake from the beginning, and the Noxus Pirates had never thought of returning the naval prisoners.

The next second, the Yamata no Orochi condensed a Yamata cannon and fired directly at the pirate ship that was holding the navy. At this time, even if Slit had foreseen the future and had seen it, he still had no way to stop it. With a loud bang, the pirate ship was directly blown to pieces, and the captives who were tied up on the ship and waiting for the navy's rescue were instantly vaporized by the high temperature flames.
