One Piece: Building the Roxas Empire

On the side of Mangrove No. 69, the battle between Darius and Zephyr is still going on. Zephyr has not only cultivated his Observation Haki to the point of foreseeing the future, but his Armament Haki is even more powerful. If Darius had not released the Black Cutter, it would have been difficult for him to break through Zephyr's Haki defense. Even if he could break through his Haki defense, he would not be able to seriously injure him.

But now it's different. Darius completely adopts the tactic of exchanging injuries for injuries when facing Zephyr. He is not afraid of being injured at all. After all, he has high defense, thick blood, and strong attack. The 10% armor penetration of Ruthless Iron Hands, plus the 30% armor penetration of the passive of Black Cleaver, even if your defense is high, Darius can completely break your defense head-on.

Zephyr's face became more and more ugly. He had more than a dozen wounds on his body. Darius's fighting style was too reckless. He completely exchanged injuries for injuries. Zephyr had no choice but to fight him head-on. However, his Armament Haki, which he was proud of, could not block Darius's axe. This made Zephyr feel humiliated. Zephyr could feel that Darius' Armament Haki attainment was not as good as his, but he could still break his Armament Haki defense. Moreover, Darius's recovery ability was too strong. He was recovering little by little from the damage he had caused him. It can only be said that the recovery ability of animal-type ability users is amazing.

"Is it because of the axe?" Zefa's eyes were a little serious at this time, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that it was a special magic sword?"

Zefa is also very clear about the characteristics of the demon sword. If the axe is also a special demon axe, then it can indeed explain why his armed color domineering cannot defend against its attack.

"No matter what, we must fight quickly. He is a Devil Fruit user. The longer we delay, the worse it will be for me." At this time, Zefa had already realized how powerful Darius was. He was even stronger than what Vice Admiral Slit had reported. This desperate and wound-for-wound fighting style made Zefa feel deeply daunted even though he had only fought with him for a short time.

"Zefar..." At this moment, Lieutenant General Slit also came over with Moon Steps. Darius looked at Slit's appearance and his face looked a little ugly.

"Here he comes! Slit." Zefa looked at Slit's arrival and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. To be honest, after the battle with Darius just now, Zefa was not confident that he could defeat Darius alone. At the same time, Zefa admired Slit in his heart. This guy was obviously not as strong as himself at the beginning, but he was able to force Darius into a desperate situation. It seems that he fell behind in training when he was the chief instructor at the Naval Academy!

"It seems that even you would have a miserable time facing this guy!" Sleet said solemnly when he saw the injuries on Zefa's body. He was very clear about Zefa's strength. The two had entered the Naval Academy together, but he lost every time he fought with Zefa. Even after he got the devil fruit, his strength was still not as good as Zefa who had not eaten the devil fruit, so in the end Zefa became the admiral of the navy, while he was still only a lieutenant admiral.

Zefa listened and smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's because I've been teaching students in recent years, so my strength has declined!"

At this point, Zefa's eyes were a little serious and he said: "However, this guy is indeed very powerful. You said before that he has a trick that can summon a group of shadow demons that absorb the vitality of the human body, so I dare not let the rest of the navy get close."

"Well, his special move is very tricky. If you want to deal with him, it is meaningless to rely on numbers. Only a strong enough domineering aura can resist his move." Slit was also a little solemn. Looking at Darius opposite him, his face was serious and he said: "It seems that you have become stronger in the past six months! Even if you didn't use that move, you can still do this?"

Darius raised his lips into a sinister smile and said, "Long time no see, Lieutenant General Slit."

"Hmph..." Slit snorted coldly. He didn't have a good face for Darius. He looked at Zefa and asked, "Where's Marshal Kong? And where's the Red Earl!"

When Zefa heard this, his face became even colder, and he said solemnly: "The Red Earl has escaped, and Marshal Kong was ambushed and killed by the Red Earl Redfield and Darius."

"What did you say?" Slit was also shocked when he heard that, and looked at Zefa in disbelief. Zefa's expression at this moment did not seem fake, and this kind of thing was no joke. Suddenly, Slit's face gradually turned pale. Although he knew that something must have happened when Zefa asked him for help just now, he never thought that the marshal was actually killed.

Darius, who was carrying the Black Cleaver, also said with a ferocious look on his face, "Don't doubt it. When he first sent Old Bai Zhong to arrest me, I told him that sooner or later I would kill him. You should blame yourselves, the navy. It would have been great if you had let me retire as a gangster boss in Boro City! But what happened? You insisted on forcing me to go out to sea, and now I have already gone out to sea. I have already decided that I will turn this sea upside down, and then let you, the navy that calls yourself 'righteous', have a good taste of failure."

"Don't be so arrogant, Darius." Slit said with his fists clenched, but he still hadn't recovered from the news of Marshal Kong's death.

But gradually, Slit felt happy in his heart, because after Marshal Kong died, Admiral Sengoku should be the successor to the Navy Marshal. In this case, he would naturally become the new Navy Admiral as the substitute for the Admiral.

Zefa didn't know what Slit was thinking at the moment, and said with a cold face: "I have ordered people to temporarily block the news, but this kind of news can't be blocked at all. The most urgent task now is to arrest Darius and then publicly execute him. Only in this way can we wash away the shame of our navy."

Slit nodded and stared at Darius. His body quickly changed to the awakened form of the Cat-Cat Fruit Tiger Form. "Well, even if it costs our navy's career, I will definitely arrest you, Darius."

Darius looked at Zefa and Slit, and he also had some thoughts of retreating in his heart. He had already taken the opportunity to kill Admiral Kong this time, which was already a stroke of luck.

Soon, the whole world will undergo earth-shaking changes, and after learning of the death of Navy Marshal Kong, the Navy and the World Government will definitely do their best to hunt him down. Now Darius is confident that he can face Zephyr and Slit at the same time, but it will be too difficult to defeat both of them.

Now the skill "Destiny" is still on cooldown. The longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Darius. If Admiral Sengoku and hero Garp come over, he might not be able to escape by then.

However, even if he had to run away, Darius was ready to try out his new skills to see if he could kill either Slit or Zephyr.

Soon, Darius began to contact his clone in his mind...

At this time, on the side of No. 5 Mangrove, after Sleet left, the Navy also felt difficult to deal with Darius's clone. Although it was only one clone of Darius, they had no way to deal with this clone. After calming down the twelve Animal-type Devil Fruit users who ate the World Government's gifted them, A Shen led the Noxus Pirates to launch a general attack on the Navy.

"Damn it! What's wrong with this clone! How can its body be so hard!" At this time, the one fighting against the clone Darius was Major General Songye. He was currently the highest commander on the No. 5 Mangrove side, but it was difficult for him to deal with the clone Darius alone. He had to team up with two brigadier generals and three colonels to stop the clone Darius.

"This damn monster is obviously just a clone, how can it be so powerful?" A naval colonel nearby said solemnly.

"Major General Songya, this won't work! After Vice Admiral Slit left, it seems we can't stop this monster!" "Yes! And there are a lot of pirates, and now Lord Celestial Dragon has been rescued. Shouldn't we retreat as well?" At this time, the naval officers also felt the pressure. Without the top combat power in charge, facing Darius, even if this Darius was just an avatar, they felt tremendous pressure. Moreover, the pirates of the Noxus Pirates were all fearless. Among the many pirate groups they had encountered, it was very rare to be able to make so many pirates in the entire group so crazy.

At this moment, the members of the Noxus Pirates rushed forward like crazy, even though the ground was littered with the bodies of their companions, they still dared to continue charging bravely.

Because the Noxus Pirates were under the long-term influence of Darius, not only Darius, but also the senior officers on the ship believed in the survival of the strong and the death of the weak, and did not allow any cowards to exist. This idea was gradually implemented from top to bottom. Anyone who wanted to escape would be shot directly by the supervision team behind. In addition, the officers were also charging in the front. Even in the face of heavy casualties among the navy, the Noxus Pirates continued to fight with the navy.

"Damn it! There are so many pirates. Open fire, kill them and don't take any prisoners." The navy's face was very ugly at this time. As a navy, when they arrest pirates, they are often the more numerous party. But it is different when facing the Noxus Pirates. The Noxus Pirates have a lot of people. Although most of them are trash, even if they are trash soldiers, they will make the navy feel afraid when they charge and kill.
