One Piece: Rise of an Empire

The four walked into the empty yard.

"Captain, I think we can go directly to kill the Lord of the Fallen City," Julie said.

Julie had seen the prosperity of Utopia before, and when she saw this island, she was very angry with the city owner of this island.

And Julie feels that solving the city lord is the most fundamental way to solve the city's problems.

Of course, everyone in Des thought so too.

But Des hasn't figured out the specific situation of the city owner yet.

"It's not necessary. If you act rashly, you will startle the snake. Eat and drink before you talk." Des said.

It turns out that splitting the city wall in such a high-profile way is not to scare the snake away?Julie and Linlin thought silently.

"But we don't have food, do we really need to drink the water of longevity?" Levi said.

"How can we drink that kind of thing? Although Linlin can relieve his side effects, who can guarantee that he will not overdraw our potential?"

After Des finished speaking, the arm turned into wood, and a seed fell from Des's hand to the ground.

The seeds germinate at a speed visible to the naked eye, and grow into towering trees in a short time.After a while, the red apples grew all over the big tree.

Although the ability of Des devil fruit can't make meat, there is no problem in making fruit.

"Although there is no meat, you can still be full by eating some fruit. Let's eat as much as we can," Des said.

Des shook the big tree, and a lot of apples fell down, but Des didn't control the force well, and everyone was caught off guard by the falling apples.

"Dess!!!"

"Hey, I'm sorry, I used too much power"

Compared to being a serious king, Des prefers such free adventures.

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

At night, everyone in Desi was sleeping soundly.

"Hush~ Keep your voice down, the people living inside are the ones who split the city wall in half with a knife, even the guards dare not come to make trouble."

Two sneaky people entered Des's yard with light steps.

The guards on the second floor already knew about the arrival of Des and his group, but Samuel had already issued an order to let the guards leave Des and his group alone.

Because Samuel knew that Des would come to him.

Samael already knew about raising the city wall with a knife.

Moreover, the strength of Des's group of people was also evaluated.

But one thing he didn't expect was that Levi was not the strongest among this group of people.

But the strongest Des didn't make a move.

"Did you actually find fruit growing in their yard?" the man asked.

"Sure, many people have seen it. It's been a few years since I have tasted the red apple. Even if it is dangerous, I will try it."

Des was woken up by the voices of several people. This is already the third wave of people, and it still prevents people from getting a good night's sleep.

Des turned around and continued to sleep soundly.He didn't intend to pay attention to these thieves who stole the fruit.

He knew the situation here, and it was understandable for the residents to do such a thing.

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

Day two.

As expected, none of the apples on the tree were gone, and even the leaves on the tree were already very clean. Des had to admire the strength of the hungry people.

After a while, Levi, Linlin, and Julie also woke up.Des touched the tree with his hand, and after a while, the apples grew again.

Nether Island is surrounded by thick fog, and when the sun's light reaches here, it is already extremely dark, so the plants on Nether Island almost don't exist.

The really hungry people here can only eat dirt, and some even eat the bones of the dead.

After eating the fruit, the four of them were ready to go out, because the middle layer didn't mean much to them.They intend to go to the innermost level.

As soon as the four of Des went out, they found that there were a large number of people gathered in the guard's mansion. It turned out that it was time to distribute the longevity water every day.

Watching people receive the longevity water and drink it into their stomachs one by one.Although the body is thin and bony, the spirit has changed.

Although many people know that longevity water is not a good thing, but compared to starving to death, everyone still wants to live a little longer.

"Linlin, what is the strength of this guard?" Des asked.

"It's just a person with B-level strength, but everyone else's strength is C-level and D-level."

Des smiled slowly. He wanted to know what the group of people would do if the guards died.

"Julie, get rid of the guards," Des said.

Julie, who heard Des's words, nodded.

"shave"

Julie is very proficient in the six styles of the navy. In the past two years, she has mastered all the six styles of the navy.

Before everyone could react, the head of the guard who issued Changshuishui had already fallen to the ground.

Julie returned to Des's side, there was no blood on the dagger, and the speed was so fast that Linlin couldn't see it clearly.

Seeing the guards fall, the people waiting for the longevity water went crazy and rushed into the guards' mansion quickly.After a while, everyone took out food in the guard's mansion, but the food was not much and it was enough for two or three people.

Soon, because the food war broke out, the number of people on the second floor, which originally only had 200 people, was reduced by half, and the remaining 100 people also reported the bodies of other people back to their houses.

The four of Des watched this scene without intervening.

"People have become so inhumane in this dire situation," Des said.

"It's all about the strong eating the weak, if it's still being manipulated, it just means it's not strong enough," Levi said.

"I'm kind of looking forward to meeting the city's rule-makers," Des laughs.

Everyone's thoughts were similar to Des's, and they all wanted to know what kind of person would be like who made such cruel rules.

………………

The rules for entering the innermost layer are similar to those for entering the second layer, and the condition is to defeat or kill a person inside.

There are only 30 people in the innermost layer.There is a clear ranking in it.

If the person with the highest rank is defeated, that person is not killed, and the person with the last place is killed.

If you kill someone with a higher rank, you replace that person.

The people in the innermost layer are always fighting for rankings, because the higher the ranking, the more benefits they get, the more food they have, and the more longevity water they have.

"Who are you going to challenge Des?" Linlin asked.

"Why would we challenge others? We have no intention of living here?"

Said Des pointed to the highest palace.

Des didn't intend to waste time with these weaklings.

Capture the thief first and capture the king. Since Samael didn't send someone to stop them, if you don't go to him directly, wouldn't it be a shame for Samael.

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

"Master Samael, the guards on the second floor were killed by those people, they should be entering the innermost floor," a guard said to Samael.

"What can you do? Rule down and tell the people at the innermost level to gather together. Whoever kills these people will get a lot of food and longevity water."

"Okay, Lord Samuel"

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

Everyone in Des entered the innermost floor, and there was no hustle and bustle here like the other two floors.It's very quiet here. Coupled with the gloomy environment, Des feels depressed.

"It seems that there is a lot of pomp to welcome us," Des said slowly.

"This is exactly what I want, after all, the movement we made is not small"

Julie and Linlin are also ready to fight.

As soon as Des came in, he sensed the big gift Samuel had prepared for him with his knowledge.

After a while, thirty people slowly came out from all around.

The 30 people here are not as skinny as the other two floors. The people here have blood red eyes and unscientific muscles.

Looking at the people who surrounded them, Levi said, "Leave these people to us, there is no need for our king to take action against these little guys."

Des, who wanted to join the battle, put away his weapon.

Levi found the three people with the strongest breath.Picking up the knife in his hand, he said, "The three of you should be the strongest, let me see how strong you are."

These 30 people are full of murderous intent, and it is unknown how many lives are in each of them.

Linlin looked at the data of these [-] people. Except for the three selected by Levi who were A-level, the others were all B-level.

Three people fight against 30 people, and the battle is imminent.
