One Piece: Rise of an Empire

When Des saw that the frost was about to spread to his body, the vines wrapped around the star moved, as if given life by Des, directly entangled the green pheasant.

"Elephant Punch"

Des seized the opportunity and punched Aokiji hard.Because the vines had no time to dodge, the green pheasant was hit by Des abruptly.

Aokiji slowly stood up.

The two fought several rounds, and both had wounds on their bodies.

...............

On Levi's side, the marines have all been tied up. Some of the marines who were stunned woke up and shouted when they discovered this situation, but it was of no use.He found that he couldn't break free, after all, these private-level navies were not capable.

"Ariel, Hela, Julie, have you solved it?" Levi asked.

"It's all settled, let's go and see Des."

At this time, the clothes on Des and Aokiji who were fighting were already in tatters.Both had wounds of different sizes.But it is obvious that both of them are in very good condition, and there is no winner in a short period of time.

Des saw Levi and the others coming, and knew the result of the battle.

"Aokiji, is it still necessary to fight? This battle should be won by us, hahahahahaha"

Aokiji didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw the bound sailors, they were not dead, but they were all seriously injured. Some sailors may die at any time if their injuries are not treated in time.

"Eleondes, so you are such a despicable person," Aokiji said.

"Am I despicable? You can completely disregard their life and death, we continue to fight, I don't think I will lose. I didn't kill them immediately, but exchanged their life and death for your surrender. Isn't this our kindness? Don't you just want your compatriots to be killed on the spot? Is this what you call justice? The justice that is exchanged for the lives of your companions?"

Des continued to attack, he knew that Aokiji would not continue to fight.

Shouldn't pirates do a little bit of what pirates should do?

Des didn't consider himself a nice guy.In the battle between Des and Aokiji, it is impossible to tell the winner in a short time.Levi and I can't intervene in the battle between the two.If the navy comes to support.Then the passive ones will be them.Des wasn't going to risk all of their lives.

"That's really troublesome. If the fight continues, my subordinates may die. Since there is no point in continuing the fight, then I admit defeat and let you leave."

Des saw that Aokiji had let go, and he was also relieved. It seemed that Aokiji really valued the lives of his subordinates.

"Then you untie this ice cube, let's go first," Des said.

"No, I won't untie it. I have the ability to freeze fruit, not unfreeze fruit," Aokiji said.

Des watched Aokiji for a while.

"We got on the boat and set off." Des didn't think Aokiji was lying, so he said to everyone.

"Aokiji, if one day you are disappointed with the navy, we welcome you at any time." After leaving this sentence, Des landed on board.

After everyone boarded the ship, Des activated his fruit ability, and the merchant ship, which was originally frozen in ice, grew a pair of legs from the bottom.Quickly ran towards the sea.After a while, the merchant ship was out of sight of the navy.

The marines who thought they were dead were also relieved when they saw Aokiji's decision, at least they didn't have to die, and they were very moved to thank Aokiji.

Aokiji looked at the crowd and then at the sky.This failure was not terrible. What made Aokiji feel terrible was that Des's words touched the justice in his heart.If the world government is really what Des said, is the world government really just?Are all pirates evil?
Afterwards, Aokiji looked at the marines again. If they were sacrificed, it would be considered a victory, so is this victory really a victory?
Aokiji, who firmly believed in the justice of the navy, was shaken at this moment, and Des's words were buried in his heart like a seed.

Aokiji thought of Mr. Karp who had been refusing to be promoted to general, and Aokiji had a heart to see the world government clearly.

………………

On Des's side, Ariel planned to bandage Des's wound, but saw that Des's wound had slowly healed.Also gave up the idea of ​​bandaging. "Des, why don't you let go and fight Aokiji?" Levy asked.

"No, I believe I can defeat him, but it's impossible in a short time. If the navy's support arrives, we will be passive. I can't joke about all of our lives."

When everyone heard Des's words, they couldn't help but admire Des's overall view.

"Ariel, how long will it take to reach the capital of seven waters?" Des asked.

"Continue sailing, it should take about two days"

"Okay, everyone adjust their status and set off for the capital of seven waters."

.....................

Naval Headquarters.

"What? Aokiji lost the battle? Let me just say, Sengoku, Elianders' bounty is low, hahahaha" Garp said.

At this time, Aokiji had already told the Navy Headquarters everything that happened at that time.

"Surrendered for the lives of the sailors? Isn't that a slap in the face of the navy? To deal with vicious pirates, even some sacrifices are inevitable, hmph." Akainu said.

"That is to say, the strength of Alianders is already very close to that of a general? The [-] million bounty is indeed low, but according to our observations, he has not done anything that endangers the world." The chief staff officer said.

"The current pirates are really scary," said the yellow monkey, continuing to cut his nails.

After pondering for a while, Steel Gu Kong spoke.

"Increase the bounty of Alianders to [-] million Baileys."

The strength of Aokiji is well known to everyone present, and there are only a few people who can defeat him in the navy.Being able to compete with Aokiji, this level of combat power can no longer be underestimated by the Navy.

"Why is this level of combat power always active in the first half of the great route?" Crane said to everyone.

Generally, pirates with over [-] million strengths are almost all active in the second half of the great route, the New World.After all, the great secret treasure exists in the new world.The pirates all act for the big secret treasure.

And Des has been at sea for so long, but only acted in the first half of the great voyage, which really made them think deeply.

"Eleondes was once a crew member of Roger's Pirates, and he must have his purpose in doing so," Sengoku said.

"No matter what the purpose is, the hateful pirates must be eliminated"

At this time, Akainu stood up excitedly.

Because the main force of the navy is in the New World, and Des has been in the first half of the great route, and has not done any major things.So the navy doesn't pay that much attention to Des. Now that Dess is growing, the navy has to pay attention to Dess's movements.

...........................

The next day, Des's new reward has spread all over the world.

"Gu la la la la la, is that the kid on Roger's boat? He hasn't reached the new world yet, and he already has such a high bounty, what can he do?"

The Whitebeard Pirates are now the kings of the New World.Because of Roger's execution, although Whitebeard did not ascend to the throne, he still ruled the world. This era is a veritable era of Whitebeard.

"That's right, dad. The kid I easily defeated back then is already so strong. I'm looking forward to meeting him next time. I don't know when he will come to the new world." Marko said.

………………

"Mom, mom, such a character should be added to my family, Katakuri, if there is news of his arrival in the new world, you must tell me first, I am looking forward to his wedding with my daughter, who is more suitable?"

Looking at Des's reward order, Smoothie was a little shocked. Has the person who was equal to her back then been so powerful now?
