Farewell (3)
The journey has begun again.
However, this time was different. In the past, Fanxin always kept a low profile and didn't want to attract too much attention. But this time, he made a big show of it and didn't try to hide it at all.
Not only did he raise the pirate flag, but this time, he had decided that no matter what dangers he encountered, he would not take his ship into Wolf Valley, even if it was destroyed.
He was prepared to sail the Grand Line with the utmost bravery, defeat all obstacles in his path, and achieve great fame.
"From today onwards, we will never have a peaceful day again." At the bow of the ship, Ren Fang turned around, looking at the pirate flag fluttering in the wind, a complex expression on her face.
She hoped Fanxin would find his parents this way, but she didn't want Fanxin to attract too many enemies. She worried that Fanxin wouldn't be able to fight them and would eventually be wiped out.
Forming a pirate crew has its advantages and disadvantages. She truly didn't know whether her idea had genuinely helped or Fanxin.
"Not from today, but from the moment I set sail," Fanxin said. "The navy has been eyeing the Soul Clan for a long time, and my identity has already been exposed. Even if the navy doesn't come to arrest me openly, they will act secretly."
"That makes sense. Well, it's come to this now, there's no point in thinking or saying anything more. Fighting hard is the only way forward." Ren Fang nodded slightly upon hearing this, agreeing with the assessment.
"Yes, that's right. You should take Su Mei Su Hai to Wolf Valley to practice now! Their strength is too weak. If a major battle occurs, they might be in danger," Fanxin nodded and said.
The Su sisters were just ordinary people. The reason they seemed extraordinary before was because the souls of Wang Yan and Bingfeng were possessed by their bodies. Now, Bingfeng and Wang Yan have left their bodies, and they have returned to being ordinary people.
The enemies he would encounter from now on were all formidable individuals, and having two ordinary people on his ship was extremely dangerous. He had originally intended to send them away. However, Wang Yan and Bingfeng had said that the two of them wanted to stay on the ship. Therefore, he had no choice.
Since he couldn't send the two away, he had no choice but to train them and make them stronger.
"I understand. Leave the training to me; you don't need to worry about it," Ren Fang nodded and said.
"Okay." Fanxin nodded, and then went to do other things.
Ren Fang immediately led the Su sisters back to her bedroom. Then, she opened the Wolf Valley and led the two sisters inside.
"From today onwards, I will be subjecting you to rigorous training. We may encounter many formidable enemies in the future, and we may not be able to protect you. Therefore, you must become stronger. It doesn't matter if you can't help us, but you must protect yourselves, that's all, understand?" Ren Fang looked at the two and shouted sternly.
If these two can protect themselves, then the other two can focus all their efforts on the battle; there's no need to waste too much time on them.
"Understood, we accept your training," Su Hai said.
"I accept it too," Su Mei said.
"Alright, these are your weapons. I'll teach you how to use a gun first, and then I'll teach you how to use a knife." Ren Fang nodded, and then she began training the Su sisters.
Ren Fang used the most brutal methods to train the two sisters, methods she had experienced before. She could endure them, and she felt that the two sisters should be able to as well.
Although the method was cruel, the two sisters did not complain at all.
Ren Fang looked at it and felt very satisfied.
"Little Black Cat, build a dozen or so robots and have them take charge of the key positions. If a major battle breaks out, we might not be able to protect this ship, but with the robots, there won't be any problems," Fanxin said to Little Black Cat.
"Okay, I understand. I'll get it done as soon as possible." The Little Black Cat nodded.
"That's good. From now on, this ship won't be returning to Wolf Valley. So, it might be destroyed. As the shipwright, you'll have to put in extra effort."
Fanxin said, "Oh, by the way, how's your super warship coming along? If it's finished, we'll use that one from now on. That would make us look even more Haki."
The Little Black Cat wanted to build a warship, which he had previously opposed because he worried it would attract the Navy's attention. However, now that he had formed a pirate crew, the Navy couldn't ignore his existence. Therefore, he no longer needed to hide it. If the Little Black Cat could finish building the super warship now, he planned to switch ships immediately.
"Not yet, we're short on materials! You promised to go and plunder them, you can't go back on your word," the Little Black Cat said dejectedly. Building a warship was something it had always wanted to do. However, even the most skilled cook can't cook without rice; it had no materials, and just thinking about it was useless.
"Alright, from now on, if we encounter pirate ships or navy ships, we'll rob them and then let you burn them to make composite metals," Fanxin nodded firmly and said.
"Hehe, okay, I'll wait." The Little Black Cat nodded. Then, without further ado, it started building the robot.
Langyue was fast asleep on the boat. Its favorite pastime was fighting, but now that no one was there to fight with it, it seemed a little bored.
Fanxin ignored it, moved a recliner out and placed it on the deck. He lay down on it, reading a book and drinking coffee, looking relaxed and carefree.
Before I knew it, the morning had passed.
Fanxin glanced at the time, immediately got up, and went back to the kitchen to cook.
Everyone's busy right now and doesn't have time to cook. So, this task naturally fell to him, the one who had nothing to do.
Fanxin is a master cook; she quickly washed the rice and vegetables.
Then, he cooked the rice first. After that, he started cooking the other dishes.
He skillfully chopped all the vegetables. Then, he prepared to start cooking. However, just then, the boat shook violently, as if it had hit something.
Fanxin Xin frowned, quickly put the chopped vegetables away, and then headed outside.
As he walked, he asked, "Hey, what's going on outside? Why is there such a commotion?"
"Hehe, the navy, the navy's ships! It's their ships that rammed into ours," the Little Black Cat said. Although it was making strange noises, it didn't show any panic; instead, it seemed quite excited.
Upon hearing this, Fanxin knew exactly what the Little Black Cat was up to. He shook his head helplessly and went up to the deck. There, he saw a huge warship right next to their ship.
Their ships were much smaller than warships, so when a warship collided with theirs, their ships naturally rocked.
"Quickly create some distance, or the ship will capsize!" Fanxin shouted. The warship was right beside them; it was too big, and if they kept ramming the ship, it would capsize. Then they would all be soaked to the bone.
Under Fanxin's reprimand, the Little Black Cat finally ordered the robot to increase the ship's speed and move to the side, creating a distance of more than ten meters between it and the warship.
"Hey, which pirate crew? I've never heard of them before!" Just as they increased the distance between themselves and the warship, a marine wearing a large jacket with the word "Justice" written on it shouted through a megaphone.
Every pirate crew, especially those with some reputation, has a file at headquarters. They searched all the pirate crews, but found no information matching Fan Fanxin's crew. They found this strange, hence the question.
"We're the pirate crew that Cai formed yesterday, called Heavenly Soul. Of course you don't know us," Fanxin said with a smile.
"Oh, so you're just some nobody. Kid, we're the Navy. Surrender now, and we might spare your life. If you resist, we'll kill you. Think it over!" the marine with the megaphone shouted. He was threatening Fanxin, trying to get Fanxin to go to bed.
How could Fanxin possibly surrender so easily? His goal is to become famous throughout the world. If he surrenders like this, how will he achieve his goal?
Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "Heh, surrender is out of the question. If you want to fire, then fire! Let's see if you have the ability to destroy my ships and hunt us down."
"Stubborn to the end? Well then, I'll show you what we're made of!" The marine with the megaphone, seeing that Fanxin wouldn't surrender, was furious. He shouted and ordered his men to bombard Fanxin's ship.
Seeing all the cannons aimed here, Fanxin remained calm. He snapped his fingers and said to Langyue, "Immediately create water wolves to soak all their cannonballs, rendering their cannons useless."
Upon hearing this, Langyue immediately nodded and said, "Leave it to me!" After saying that, it immediately created more than thirty giant water wolves. The giant water wolves were extremely large, four or five times larger than the warship.
Dozens of giant water wolves could drown that warship.
"Charge! Sink the warships!" Langyue shouted.
At Langyue's command, the giant water wolf leaped into the air and pounced on the warship. The marines didn't sit idly by and wait to die; they immediately drew their guns, aimed at the giant water wolf, and launched a fierce attack.
Under the continuous barrage of bullets, the giant water wolves were all destroyed, turning into shapeless seawater. In the end, they all fell onto the warship.
Before long, the marines were submerged in seawater, soaking wet and looking like drowned rats.
"Damn it, we haven't even launched an attack yet, and they've already attacked! Charge! Fire!" a marine lieutenant colonel shouted.
He was 1.8 meters tall, with a muscular build and a beard. He had only one eye; the other was covered by a black eye patch, so it was unclear whether he was blind or doing it on purpose.
He had a long sword at his waist, clearly indicating he was someone who enjoyed using knives. He was Lieutenant Commander Torre, in charge of the ship. Now that the ship was almost submerged, how could he not be furious?
This is his dereliction of duty. His superior is still asleep and hasn't woken up yet. If his superior knew that the warship had been reduced to this state, he would definitely not let him off the hook.
"It's no good, sir. The shells are all soaked and unusable." A marine walked over and reported, looking very frustrated.
"What? They're all soaked." Torre looked at Fanxin's ships and said angrily, "I understand now, this is his scheme. He deliberately soaked our cannons so we couldn't use them."
"What should we do then?" the marine asked.
"What else can we do? Get close immediately and engage in close combat," Torre for a moment and then shouted.
"Understood." Upon receiving the order, the marines immediately adjusted their course and began their pursuit of Fanxin.
However, the Fanxin did not flee, but rather slowly continued its journey.
"Langyue, the battle is yours. I just need that ship to drive those marines off the ship," Fanxin said to Langyue as the warship sped towards them.
He didn't want to go on a killing spree. Ever since the Giant Dragon told him that most of his family hadn't been killed by the Navy, he no longer harbored much hatred for these marines. He only wanted to deal with Akainu and the mastermind behind it all; he didn't intend to bother with the smaller fry. There were too many of them; killing one batch would just result in another appearing, and he could never kill them all. However, the masterminds behind it all were different; once you killed them, they would disappear.
"Understood." Langyue nodded immediately and said.
"Little Black, you're in charge of the ship's safety. As for the strongest person on the warship, I'll take care of him," Fanxin said.
"Okay." The Little Black Cat nodded, immediately hiding in a safe place, and then began to closely monitor the warship's movements so that it could adjust the ship's course at any time.
Fanxin himself sat at the bow of the boat, waiting patiently in case anything unexpected happened.
Not long after, Ren Fang brought the Su sisters out. They had come out to eat because they were hungry.
However, when they came out, they found that the meal was ready, but the vegetables had only been chopped and hadn't been cooked. They were immediately puzzled and went out to check.
"The navy's here? It hasn't been that long!" Ren Fang said dejectedly.
"Hehe, sorry, we're about to fight. The vegetables are already chopped, so please finish cooking. You can eat first, and we'll eat later," Fanxin said apologetically. He wasn't nervous at all; he now had a body, and a very strong one at that. He had no worries.
"No problem, just be careful." Ren Fang nodded, and then immediately led the Su sisters back to the kitchen to cook.
Fanxin took out a wine bottle and sipped his wine, slowly waiting for the strongest person on the warship to appear.
Langyue created dozens of giant water wolves and began attacking the warship. The water wolves rushed to the bottom of the warship and began to tear and bite, trying to create a hole in the hull and let seawater rush in. In this way, the warship would be completely destroyed.
Marines saw through Langyue's intentions and immediately opened fire on the giant water wolves, intending to destroy them and prevent them from getting any closer.
