Cooperation? (3)

"Don't get too cocky. Haki is good, but it's not invincible," Fanxin said with a light snort.

"Oh, then give it a try!" Zhang Yu said dismissively. He didn't think Fanxin could defeat him, because Fanxin's attacks were all under his control.

"Heh, I'll let you know," Fanxin said coldly.

Zhang Yu made a gesture of invitation, meaning to Fanxin, "You are welcome to use it all; I will accept it all."

"Alright, I'll let you try." Fanxin Xin grinned and said.

Then, without further ado, he unleashed the Diamond Spikes. He didn't target Zhang Yu specifically, but rather all the warships; the Diamond Spikes shot out, wreaking havoc on the ships.

In no time, all four warships were reduced to tiny fragments. There was no room left for anyone to stand. Zhang Yu and his crew of sailors all fell into the water.

Ren Fang and the others had all gotten onto the water wolves and left the battle area. So, they weren't soaked to the bone.

"Langyue, Little Black, take them and go first. I'll take care of things here," Fanxin said to Langyue and the Little Black Cat.

"Ah, why?" the Little Black Cat asked, puzzled.

"I'm about to use that move; it's an indiscriminate attack, and you might get hurt here," Fanxin said.

He planned to release the Diamond Beast, who had all learned Haki and were perfectly capable of dealing with Zhang Yu. Fanxin planned to unleash a collective attack; that move was incredibly powerful, even Wang Yan had found it difficult to withstand. He believed that dealing with these marines should be no problem at all.

However, while this move is powerful, it has a fatal flaw: the Diamond Beast are too stupid. They can't distinguish between friend and foe and will attack together.

Therefore, if someone you know is staying here, it's very easy for them to get hurt.

He didn't want anyone to get hurt, so he had to let them go first.

"Alright, we'll be going now and wait for you up ahead." Upon hearing this, the Little Black Cat immediately knew what Fanxin was going to do. It immediately summoned a boat and then led everyone away from this area.

"Boy, what are you planning to do?" Zhang Yu shouted. He sensed something was wrong, because he felt that Fanxin seemed to be up to something big.

"Hehe, Zhang Yu, didn't you say I couldn't hit you? Fine, I'll let you taste it. Let's see how you dodge my next move," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

"What tricks?" Zhang Yu shouted.

"You'll find out soon enough." Fanxin didn't say it explicitly. He looked at the marines who had fallen into the sea and said, "Alright, this is none of your business. Go back to your ship. I won't touch you."

Fanxin pointed to the last warship. He planned to send these small fry back to the warship and away from this area, because staying meant certain death. He didn't want to kill them, since he had no grudge against these guys.

He was only targeting Zhang Yu because he wanted to defeat Zhang Yu, nothing more.

"Kid, don't try to order us around. You're not qualified," the marines shouted angrily.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin helplessly scratched his head and said, "Hey, Zhang Yu, my next move is an attack imbued with Haki. If they stay, they're doomed. Aren't you going to try and stop them? If you don't care about their lives, then I might just make my move!"

"Hmm, you can use Haki too! Then why didn't you use it just now?" Zhang Yu asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, I really don't know how to use Haki. But I can let someone else use it," Fanxin said with a grin. "Hurry up, I don't have time to wait. If you two keep dawdling, I'll have to take action."

"Kid, it seems you're not entirely wicked after all. Why did you become a pirate?" Zhang Yu asked.

Fanxin's request to persuade the marines to leave shows that Fanxin wasn't bloodthirsty and had a kind heart. Yet, he still chose the path of piracy. He couldn't understand it.

"Go ask that Akainu! It's all his fault and his boss's fault," Fanxin said. "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be at sea. I'd be perfectly comfortable staying at home."

"Admiral Akainu?" Zhang Yu was stunned. "Do you have a grudge against Admiral Akainu?"

"That's right, it's a blood feud, I will definitely kill him, he can't escape." Fanxin said, "Alright, enough nonsense, I'm going to make my move. If you don't leave, then you're dead!"

With that, Fanxin Xin immediately jumped into the sea. Once there, he released five hundred Diamond Beast.

"Attack upwards, go!" Fanxin commanded.

A moment later, the Diamond Beast no longer hesitated and began to activate their Diamond Spikes to attack the sea surface.

Countless Diamond Spikes burst from the water, attacking the marines.

"Ah..." the marines screamed in agony.

Without further hesitation, they began to flee into the distance, knowing that staying in that area was tantamount to suicide. During their escape, they were unable to avoid being attacked by the spikes, the pain causing them to tremble.

In no time, the sea was stained red with blood.

Zhang Yu used his Haki to defend his vital parts, but other parts of his body were still injured. The attacks were too dense; he simply couldn't block them all.

He endured the pain as he swam away into the distance.

Fanxin let the Diamond Beast attack for a minute before sending Diamond Beast back to the Diamond Space. Afterward, he returned to the sea.

He stood on a plank, looking at the location of the warship, chuckled, and said, "Next time, when I tell you to get lost, you must get lost, otherwise you'll just lose your lives in vain, understand?"

"Kid, you wait, you'll be wanted by the police." Zhang Yu was already on the warship, covered in wounds. Fortunately, his vital organs were unharmed, otherwise, he would have been finished. His face was grim; he had initially thought victory was assured, but now the situation had reversed.

They suffered heavy losses; many soldiers were wounded, and some even died in battle. He had made up his mind that, no matter what, he would have headquarters issue a warrant for Fanxin's arrest. He wanted Fanxin to understand the power of the navy.

"Sure, how much bounty are you going to give me?" Fanxin said with a smile.

He shrugged indifferently; he'd love to be wanted, so the whole world would know him. Then his parents would see his arrest warrant.

"Kid, you're really calm! Do you know the consequences of being wanted?" Zhang Yu said irritably.

"I know, so what if we're being hunted by various forces? Bring it on! I'm waiting!" Fanxin Xin grinned and said, "I'm just afraid they won't come."

He spoke very calmly, and the calmer he was, the more annoyed Zhang Yu became.

"Kid, just you wait! You'll be crying later," Zhang Yu shouted.

"I'll be waiting," Fanxin said dismissively, sticking out his little tongue. Then, he jumped into the sea and headed off into the distance to chase after his ship.

Seeing Fanxin disappear, Zhang Yu was furious. He snorted and said, "Let's go back first, then have headquarters issue a warrant for his arrest."

The marines nodded in agreement, then carried their comrade's body onto the ship and headed towards Marine Headquarters.

Fanxin swam forward at top speed, and twenty minutes later, he caught up with the Little Black Cat and the others.

After returning to the ship, he first went to his room to take a shower and change into clean clothes. After washing and hanging the clothes to dry, he then came out.

"Fanxin, after this, I'm afraid we won't have peace anymore," Ren Fang said. "Should we make some preparations?"

Last time, although they attacked the navy, the impact was not significant. However, this time they destroyed four warships in one fell swoop, and she believed that the Marine Headquarters would definitely not ignore them again.

Next, Marine Headquarters will definitely put a bounty on them. Once a bounty is placed on them, pirates, marines, and bounty hunters will swarm to them.

If they don't make some preparations, they're bound to suffer a great loss.

"Indeed, we need to make some preparations," Fanxin said. "Today, I encountered a guy who had mastered the art of Haki. If all the guys who come later are like this, we'll be in trouble."

You can't underestimate someone who has mastered Haki. The difference between them and someone who hasn't is like Haki and earth. If you underestimate them, you'll definitely suffer a great loss.

On his ship, not a single person had mastered the art of Haki. Wang Yan and Bingfeng, his two strongest warriors, were currently in seclusion and unable to come out to help. Therefore, their current situation was not very good.

They had to devise a foolproof plan; only in this way could they guarantee their survival.

"Then what should we do?" Ren Fang asked.

"First, each of us must have Flight Armor; it's our life-saving weapon. If you can win, then keep fighting. If you can't, don't hesitate, run away first," Fanxin said. "Little Black, you need to hurry up and make a Flight Armor for everyone, understand?"

The Little Black Cat nodded, indicating that it understood.

"Yes, everyone, remember this from now on. We've only just set sail, and our strength isn't very high yet. Right now, I don't expect you to be able to defeat others, but you must ensure your own safety. Only by living can you continue fighting. If you die, you'll never have the right to continue, understand?" Fanxin nodded and said earnestly.

"Understood," everyone nodded and said.

"Alright, in future battles, if I say I need to retreat, don't hesitate at all. Retreat first. I have my reasons for saying this. You don't need to doubt me," Fanxin advised.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, indicating that they understood.

"Alright, everyone, get back to your posts! Go do what you're supposed to do." After saying that, Fanxin rested at the bow of the boat. He felt a bit tired after fighting with Zhang Yu earlier.

Zhang Yu is very strong, especially since he has mastered the Haki. It will be difficult for him to defeat his opponent. If he hadn't used that move, he might still be fighting Zhang Yu to the death right now.

"Haki, huh? Looks like I need to work harder to learn Haki," Fanxin muttered to himself.

He has now encountered someone who has learned to Haki, and he will encounter many more in the future. He must also learn to Haki, otherwise he will always be at a disadvantage.

Although he can command the Diamond Beast to attack, he won't use that move unless absolutely necessary. It's too dangerous; it doesn't distinguish between friend and foe.

If he gets into a fight and the others can't evacuate in time, they'll be the first to be hit. He doesn't want to risk his brothers' lives.

After hesitating for a while, Fanxin came up with a new training method.

"Hehe, then I'll train like this from now on. Fighting them, I'm on the verge of life and death every day. I believe I can definitely master the Haki," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

He was preparing to go into the Diamond Space to fight the Diamond Beast. The Diamond Spikes that the Diamond Beast fired were all wrapped in Haki; if he couldn't dodge them, he would be injured by the Diamond Beast.

Therefore, if he wanted to avoid getting hurt, he had to stay away. He believed that if he continued to train in this dangerous environment, he would definitely master the art of Haki.

Having made up her mind, Fanxin stopped talking nonsense and got up to head towards her bedroom.

Before going to the bedroom, he told Ren Fang and the others to come to his room immediately if anything happened outside.

After receiving Ren Fang's permission, Fanxin no longer hesitated and immediately returned to her room.

Then, he entered the Diamond Space.

The Diamond Space was vast; once he entered, he couldn't see the edge.

He glanced around, then summoned all the Diamond Beast gave them the order to attack him as soon as he entered.

The Diamond Beast were unwilling. Although they were foolish, they knew that Fanxin was their king. They did not want to attack their great king.

However, under Fanxin's stern rebuke, the Diamond Beast all nodded and agreed.

"Let's begin!" Fanxin shouted.

The Diamond Beast no longer hesitated and began attacking Fanxin.

A moment later, countless Diamond Spikes imbued with Haki descended from the sky, attacking Fanxin. Fanxin did not attack, but dodged; his goal was to cultivate Haki. Therefore, he could not attack.

He fled while dodging, but the Diamond Beast began their pursuit. The Diamond Spikes were so dense, like raindrops, that they rained down from the sky, blocking all of Fanxin's paths.

However, the Fanxin did not stop, and continued to fight against those thorns.

Because the Diamond Spikes were so dense, he was unable to dodge them and was hit by many of them. Those spikes were all wrapped in Haki, and if he hadn't summoned his Diamond Armor in time to protect his whole body, he might have been riddled with holes.

However, even though he summoned his Diamond Armor to protect his body, the impact of the spikes was so powerful that it cracked his Diamond Armor.
