One Piece: Rise of an Empire

the next day.

Des woke up slowly, and felt as if something was pressing on his arm.

Seeing the person on the arm clearly, Des quickly pulled out his hand, looking at Long Yi who was sleeping in a rough and drooling position, Des got goose bumps all over his body.

Long Yi is very dangerous, Des thought.

"Hey, it looks like I didn't have a good rest last night."

At this time, Des walked to the side of the cage, watching a group of people listless, they were also defeated and arrested, thinking about it, they must have slept comfortably.

Last night, Long Yi was drunk, and kept pouring him alcohol, as did Ariel and Hela, which made him seem to have drunk too much.Still have a little headache now.

At this time, Levi walked to Des and said, "They planned to escape last night, but they didn't break the cage."

The cage made by Des is comparable to steel, and it can constantly repair itself.It is not so easy to break out of this cage.

Originally, there were only two of the five leaders of the bounty hunter team left, two were killed by Hela, one was killed by Levi, and only Ariel's opponent and the animal devil fruit ability user remained.

And the animal-type fruit ability user is still unconscious because of the injury, and the only one who is awake is Ariel's opponent.

Des walked up to her and said, "What's your name?"

"Dalba D. Julie"

D?Des looked at the girl who was about 20 years old.If Des remembers correctly, the protagonist family of One Piece all have a D in their name, and so does Roger.

At this time, Des didn't look at her anymore, but turned and said to a group of bounty hunters behind.

"Now I give you two choices. One is to join us, to become pirates with us, to subvert the world. The other choice is very simple. I will not kill you, but I will not let you go. You can stay in this cage."

"Hey, Des, they are enemies." At this time, Ariel also came over, and Levi also looked at Des. Hela is okay, after all, they are all pirates, and this group of people is not the enemy of the same camp.If such a crowd is pulled into the team, it may be a ticking time bomb.

Bounty hunters are different from pirates. Most pirates go to sea for big secret treasures.But bounty hunters mostly do it for money, and they cherish their lives more than pirates.After all, what's the point of being a bounty hunter if you have money but don't spend your life?

Not killing them, but trapping them in a wooden cage seems to be a good choice, but last night they already felt the horror of this cage, even if they have weapons in hand, they can't break through this cage, so this is more terrifying than asking him directly.

Des did not answer Ariel's question, but continued to look at the bounty hunters and said, "Since you are hunting us, you should be ready to be killed, but I think it is a pity that your lives are dying here. You might as well join us. You may all be forced to go to sea for your life. If being a pirate can change your life, why not try it? If it can make your life better, what is the difference between being a pirate and a bounty hunter? After all, both professions are highly dangerous. Think about it, and I want your answer at noon."

After speaking, Des walked away.

"Ariel, in today's world, the least valuable thing is human life, but the most valuable thing is also human life. And I have a way to control them." Des said to Ariel.

"Long Yi, put all their useful things on our boat."

At this time, Long Yi had also woken up. In this battle, the Dragon Slaying Pirates also suffered heavy losses, more than a dozen people lost their lives.But everyone bet their lives to go to sea, this kind of life and death will be experienced.It's not that Des doesn't save people, but he feels it's unnecessary. The weak prey on the strong. Death can only show that you are not strong enough. Only those who survive have the chance to become strong.

While Des and the others were packing up the spoils, the bounty hunters were fighting among themselves. Some wanted to join the Dragon Slaying Pirates, and some wanted to die here, but Des didn't care. No matter what they chose, it was their own decision. They were just a group of losers, and the right Des gave them to choose was already a gift.

At noon, the animal-type devil fruit user also woke up, and their internal fighting became more serious, to the point where they were about to fight.And Julie didn't move.Instead, she hid in a corner. She didn't know why, but when Des said that she wanted to subvert the world, her heart was touched.

Just when the bounty hunters were about to fight, Des passed again, "Hey, hey, can't you, do you want to kill all your own people? Hehehehe, what are you thinking?"

At this time, Des opened the cage and said, "Those who want to join us, come out by yourself. Come to me."

After a long while, someone finally came over. After walking to the side, he shot towards Des in an instant, but before he touched Des, wooden thorns suddenly appeared on the originally flat ground, and in an instant, the life of the bounty hunter had disappeared.

"Is this your choice?"

The terrifying overlord color suddenly enveloped the entire cage, but Des did not use full overlord color, but raised the overlord color to a critical point that they could bear.

"No way, what kind of monster do we want to fight?" Affected by the overlord color, most of the bounty hunters who wanted to resist Des had lost their fighting spirit.Everyone's sweat has soaked their clothes.

"Don't piss me off, I'll give you 1 minute to make a choice quickly."

Affected by the overlord's color, the bounty hunters' legs are no longer under their own control. They want to move their legs, but they can't control them.

"I join"

The first one to walk to Des was Darba D Julie, and after a few seconds, the animal devil fruit user also slowly walked over.

Des looked at the time, 1 minute had passed, and there were only 20 people who came over.Others actually wanted to join, but they didn't come because they couldn't overcome the fear that Des Overlord Color brought to them.

"boom"

The huge cage has been closed. If this situation did not happen, Des originally planned to accept all the people who surrendered, but Des is not a kind person. Since he angered him, they should have to bear the end.

The bounty hunters who wanted to submit at this time didn't hate Des, what they hated was the bounty hunter who made a rash move, and themselves, why didn't they act sooner.As for the reason, it was that Des was too strong, which made them lose the courage to hate.

Under Des's arrangement, Long Yi gave food to the bounty hunters. The animal devil fruit ability user was named A Lun. Des set up Long Yi, A Lun and Julie as three teams, each leading more than 30 people.At this time, the levels of the Dragon Slayer Pirates have been separated, from top to bottom are
Captain: Des

Officers: Ariel, Levi, Hela

Captains: Long Yi, Allen, Julie

Levy is in charge of managing the captain below, Hela is in charge of weapons, Ariel is in charge of finances, and Des is in charge of the overall situation.

Des also told them that those who are capable will prevail, the position of captain can be changed, and the captain can also become a cadre.If there are too many people, you can even form your own team.

The Dragon Slaying Pirates also have an iron rule, that is, they cannot fight with civilians.It's okay to discuss, but you can't shoot your own partners to prohibit internal fighting.And the six styles of the navy, the domineering cultivation method, are all disclosed in the Dragon Slaying Pirates.Des is not afraid that they will become stronger. If the crew members become stronger, it should be a happy thing for the captain.

"Little ones, welcome new members to join and continue the banquet."

"Oh!!!"
