One Piece: Rise of an Empire

Along the way, several people kept answering Des's questions, and Dess also asked them about the situation here, but these people did not answer Dess.

After a while, several people led the four of Des to the guard's mansion.

The leader came to the guards.

"Master guard, the younger one has brought four newcomers over," the leader bowed his head to the guard and said.

The guard looked at the four of Des, and said to them, "Go over there and get something."

Afterwards, the guards led the four of Des into the guard mansion. This place is completely different from the miserable outside, and it is magnificent.

"Welcome to the Fallen City." The guard walked and introduced some longevity water to Des and the others, saying that it was hype.If Des didn't know, he would really believe it.This is simply a pyramid scheme.

After speaking, the guard led Des to a room and took out four cups.Poured a glass for each of the four.

It was only then that Des saw the so-called Longevity Water. Des sniffed it, and there was a smell of wine, but Des could smell the bloody smell hidden inside.

Des is not afraid of this thing, because Linlin said that she can remove the side effects of this thing, but Des wants to know whether this thing can enhance his strength.

"This elixir can really enhance a person's strength?" Des asked the guard.

Hearing what Des said, the guards knew that Des would definitely drink the water of longevity, because he had received too many pirates, and the pursuit of strength was something that pirates could not resist.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, the water of longevity can at least double your strength," said the guard.

"Can people of all abilities do it?" Des asked.

"Yes, everyone can"

After the guard finished speaking, Des took the elixir and drank it in one gulp.Of course, Des used his fruit ability to open a hole in his body, leaving all the water of longevity he drank.

After drinking, the guard planned to watch Des's performance so that everyone else could drink it.Because the task of the guards is to make all the people who come over drink the water of longevity.Of course, if the person who comes does not drink, the person who goes out is a corpse.

At this time, Des looked at the guard and said, "Why don't I feel the strength increase?"

"Impossible, as long as the strength of those who drink it will definitely increase," the guard said.

"Do you know the fate of cheating me? Your Excellency the guard?" Des said with a smile.

The guard felt the aura of Des slowly rising, and after a while he seemed to see a looming figure staring at him behind Des, and when he recovered, the guard found that his legs were shaking and his body was dripping with cold sweat.

"Ken... Ken... there must be something wrong," the guard said tremblingly.

"Don't drink it, it's useless"

After Des finished speaking, everyone threw the longevity water in their hands to the ground.

"bump"

Des took everyone away directly, leaving only the guards standing there blankly.

(Who the hell is this? What kind of monster? It feels like I will die if I move just now.)
...............

"Des, did you really drink the longevity water just now? Do you want me to treat you?" Linlin asked worriedly.

"How is it possible, I used the fruit ability to make it flow to the ground," Des said.

Des is not a fool. If this kind of thing overdraws a person's potential, then Des will regret it. Des knows that heaven rewards hard work, and there is no such thing as a pie in the sky.

"Where do we go next?" Levi asked.

"Let's go to the inner layer. The outer layer is all weak people who have been eliminated. Maybe we don't know about this place yet."

The residents on the outer layer saw Des walking out of the guard's mansion, and their eyes became more sympathetic.

At this time, Des walked to an old man and squatted down.

"Uncle, what is going on here?"

The old man's body is no different from skin and bones.

"Have you drank the longevity water?" The uncle didn't answer Des's question, but asked Des.

"Only I drank it, and they said it would increase my strength. But after I drank it, it didn't increase, so no one else drank it." Des didn't lie to him.

"Then how did you get out of the guard mansion?" the uncle asked in surprise.

Hearing the uncle's question, Des knew that if they weren't strong, they wouldn't be able to get out of the guard's mansion if they didn't drink.

"It's very simple, I can hit a hundred guards like this with one hand," Des said with a smile.

Of course, Des didn't talk too much, after all, it really wasn't a problem to beat a hundred of these people.

But these words sounded like a fantasy to the uncle, he could see the strength of the guards.

"Is that so? You are all very powerful people," said the uncle.

"Yeah, maybe I'll save this place." I can feel that this uncle doesn't like the guards and the city lord here, so he said this.

Sure enough, after hearing what Des said, his body trembled slightly.

"If you can really defeat Samael, then I thank you for all the suffering people here"

Then, the uncle and Des talked about the situation here, which was similar to what the man on the boat said just now.

At the same time, the uncle told Des the route to the second floor.

Des didn't stay for too long. After saying goodbye to the uncle, he led everyone to the second floor.

Soon Des reached the edge of the second floor. The second floor has a city gate, and the requirements for entering the next floor are written on it.

To enter the next floor, people on the second floor must be killed.

"Young man, it's not time to challenge yet."

At this time, a thin old man beside the city gate said to Des.

Des felt that the men here were all like old men, so Des couldn't tell the exact age of the people here.

Des looked at the old man, but Des didn't feel any malice in the old man.

"Then old man, when is the challenge time?"

"Hehe, there is no challenge time. When the guard wakes up, the challenge time will naturally start."

Sir guard?

It seems that the guards have a high status here.

"When will the guards wake up?" Des asked.

"I don't know about this either, sometimes during the day, sometimes at noon, and sometimes at night, how can I understand the actions of the guards?"

"Then, sir, is there anything to eat here?"

"There is no food in the outermost layer except the Guard's Mansion, only the Longevity Water to drink," the old man replied.

It seems that the people here use the longevity water as food, and if there are two choices between the longevity water and starvation, everyone will still choose the longevity water.

Des looked at the city gate.

"Since the guard is sleeping now, why don't we wake him up?" Levi said.

Des thought it was a good idea.

"Don't, don't, if you wake up the guard, you will be killed directly"

At this time the old man spoke, and there was still panic in his words.

Des didn't listen to the old man's words, but gave Levi a look, and Levi understood what Des meant in seconds.

Levy slowly pulled out the knife in his hand.

Levy held the knife in both hands, and his aura rose rapidly.

"bump!"

Levi didn't spare any strength, this knife was his best knife.

The sword energy directly broke through the gate of the second floor, and at the same time, including the city wall, and the houses behind the city wall were all split into a big hole.

Seeing this knife, Des was a little surprised, even he would not choose to take it hard.

"What kind of monster is this?" the old man exclaimed.

At this time, the city wall preventing people from entering the second floor has been completely broken.

Des and his party did not stop here, but continued to walk inside.

Only the old man was left there stunned in shock.

The four of Des walked slowly into the second floor.

No one stopped them until they entered the second floor, because everyone was frightened by Levi's knife, and everyone who had seen the power of this knife had almost no courage to resist.

"Hey, Levy, is there too much movement?" Linlin said.

"No, no, give them some deterrence, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble"

Des also agrees with Levy's idea. After all, if they go in and many people come to the door, wouldn't it be very troublesome.

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

Guard House.

The guard who was intimidated by Des came to his senses.

At this time, he quickly picked up the phone bug beside him and dialed a number.

After a while, a voice came from the other end of the phone bug.

Hearing the voice from the other side, the guard immediately spoke.

"Lord Samuel is not well, here are some very powerful people," the guard said in a panic.

The person on the other side was silent for a while and said.

"Oh? How powerful?"

"Very strong, I think that kind of pressure can kill me instantly," the guard said again.

"Hahahahahaha, finally came a decent strong man? Where are they now?"

"Just now I heard that the trash here said that someone slashed through the city wall to enter the second floor, so it should be them," said the guard.

"Hehehehe, you don't need to worry about this matter, just take care of your three-acre land."

The guard was about to say something, when he heard the sound of the phone bug hanging up on the opposite side.

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

"Let's go find something to eat, I'm a little hungry," Des said.

The crowd nodded.

At this time, Des saw a passerby and blocked his way to ask.

"Is there somewhere to eat here?"

The man was very angry at first, but he laughed when he heard what Des said.

"Boy, you just arrived here. There is food here besides the guard's mansion. It's just that there is more longevity water for us to drink. Hahahahaha, go to the innermost layer if you have the ability. It is said that the innermost layer is where there is really food." After the man finished speaking, he pushed Des away and walked away.

At this time, Des was a little depressed, it turned out that there was no food here.

"Then let's go and see if there is any place to sleep," Des said again.

The environment on the second floor is much better than that of the outermost floor. There are already separate houses and many houses are empty. After walking around, Des found that there are about 200 people here.Everyone's state is not much better than that of the outer layer, but their mental state is not bad.

The four of Des just randomly found a wide yard and walked in.
