Aluo (2)

"I understand, I'll take him away immediately," Fanxin replied.

He'd seen the mast cut down; there was no faking it. The other party's knife was indeed rather strange. If he hadn't been careful, he himself might have been unharmed, but the entire ship might have been destroyed first.

"That's good, hurry up." The Little Black Cat urged immediately upon hearing this.

Fanxin nodded, and he stopped dodging. He immediately activated the Diamond Spikes and attacked Aluo with all his might, forcing him to leave the deck.

Although Aluo was powerful, he had to defend himself under the attack of so many Diamond Spikes, because he didn't have a diamond body and couldn't ignore the attacks.

Helpless, Aluo finally retreated back to his own small boat.

"Little Black, the boat is yours now. Protect it well," Fanxin shouted.

He's focused on dealing with Aluo now and can't protect the ship. So, the ship has to be entrusted to the Little Black Cat and the others.

"Understood, go ahead, be careful." The Little Black Cat nodded immediately upon hearing this. Then, it started the engine and quickly fled the scene.

Fanxin stood atop the back of a giant water wolf created by Langyue. Looking at Aluo standing on the small boat, Fanxin said, "Kid, now I have no worries. Let's have a big battle!"

Now, he no longer needed to worry about the safety of the ship; he only needed to show his true skills. He was confident that he was definitely not inferior to his opponent.

"Kid, without a place to stay, what do you have to fight me with?" Aluo said.

"Hmph, just because you have a foothold doesn't mean you can unleash your power. Even without a foothold, I can still unleash my power." Fanxin chuckled and said, "You'd better protect your boat, otherwise, if you fall into the water, you're doomed."

He was an amphibious creature, skilled in both water and land warfare. His opponent, on the other hand, was human; if the human fell into the water, he would surely die.

Once in the water, he had no ability to protect himself; he could easily tear his opponent apart with his own strength.

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about that. You should worry about what you're going to do next!" Aluo snorted, then without further hesitation, he swung his sword and slashed at Fanxin.

Fanxin didn't immediately dodge, but watched quietly. He then noticed a faint sword light coming straight towards him. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to see how the opponent could injure you without making contact.

After seeing it clearly, Fanxin Xin immediately dodged, avoiding being hit by the sword light. Although he was confident in his diamond body and unafraid of the sword light, he didn't want to stand there foolishly and let someone else cut him.

He jumped into the water and then disappeared.

After searching everywhere but finding no trace of Fanxin, he shouted, "Boy, I advise you to give up. You have no chance of succeeding in ambushing me."

He called out repeatedly, but no one answered. He was immediately puzzled, wondering what Fanxin was up to.

Time ticked by, but there was still no sign of Fanxin, and Aluo was growing increasingly anxious.

After waiting for twenty minutes, he found that Fanxin was still nowhere to be seen, as if she had completely disappeared. A disdainful look appeared on his lips.

"Hmph, they say the captain of the Heavenly Soul Pirates is incredibly powerful, and the Navy even put an 80 million bounty on him? They must be blind. Is he just a piece of trash?" Aluo said disdainfully.

In his view, Fanxin must have run away since he hadn't appeared for so long. Otherwise, he should have shown up and fought him long ago.

After a moment's thought, he sheathed his broadsword. Then, he rowed his boat, preparing to leave.

However, just as he was rowing, countless Diamond Spikes burst forth from the seabed and struck his small boat directly. Under the enormous impact, his boat immediately shattered into pieces.

He had nowhere to stand and fell into the water.

After he fell into the water, his Fanxin appeared, and they were not far from him.

Fanxin looked at him and said, "Heh, now that you have nowhere to stand, let's see how you unleash your power. Make your move, let me see the might of this machete."

"You're a despicable person, resorting to sneak attacks! It's utterly despicable!" Aluo said angrily.

"Damn it? I'm a pirate. Even the most despicable methods are no big deal when dealing with you. You're not an ordinary citizen, so I feel no remorse for treating you this way," Fanxin said. "Besides, you destroyed my foothold. You wouldn't let me stand on the water, so I had no choice but to fight you in the water. Isn't that right?"

"If I have nowhere to stay, then naturally you can't have anywhere to stay either. So, it's perfectly fair, why are you so angry?"

"Bastard, I will definitely kill you. You just wait." Aluo said coldly.

"Talk is useless; show us your strength!" Fanxin said, "Alright, enough with the nonsense. The real battle begins now."

After saying that, Fanxin Xin immediately launched an attack on Aluo. He released countless Diamond Spikes, aiming straight for Aluo's head.

Aluo immediately sank into the water to avoid it.

"Hmph, once we're in the water, you're no match for me." Fanxin Xin grinned and charged straight at Aluo.

He moved extremely fast, and in no time, he was not far from Aluo.

Seeing Fanxin arrive so quickly, Aluo's expression changed several times. He immediately drew his machete, preparing to attack Fanxin. However, as soon as he raised it, he was attacked by Fanxin. Countless Diamond Spikes surged towards him, injuring the hand holding the machete.

He cried out in pain, unable to hold onto the knife, which fell into the sea.

Fanxin swam over quickly, picked it up, looked at it, and then put it into the Diamond Space.

Then, he approached Aluo and said with a smile, "Do you still have the strength to fight back? Heh, no, you're no good! Looks like you're just a piece of trash. You're still a bit short when it comes to taking my head."

"Hmph, if we were on land, you would be no match for me," Aluo sneered. One of his hands was crippled, and his greatsword was now lost at sea. He had absolutely no chance of fighting back.

He was somewhat annoyed. If he had attacked Fanxin on land, it would have been better. That way, he would have had a foothold and could have unleashed his full fighting power.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin immediately laughed and said, "Get this straight, I'm a pirate, so naturally I'm on the high seas. How could I possibly be on land all the time? Stop making excuses, no means no."

Upon hearing this, Aluo remained silent, for what Fanxin said made a valid point.

What could he say? He had nothing to say. He had come to hunt him down, and he had even chosen the location himself. He had no choice but to accept his fate.

"Stop beating around the bush and get to work!" Aluo shouted. He didn't want to waste any more words with Fanxin, because the more he talked, the more he would lose face.

"Hmph, of course I'll kill you. What else can I do?" Fanxin said. "Don't blame me. If you came to kill me, you should have been prepared to be killed. If you don't even have that, then I can only say that you are truly pathetic."

If Aluo wants him dead, he can't let him go mercifully. He has to make him understand his own power and his own temper.

He had made up his mind to launch an attack. Whether the other party survived was his business, and he wouldn't interfere afterward.

"Go ahead and do it! I brought this on myself," Aluo said.

Fanxin nodded, then without further ado, launched a fierce attack on Aluo, countless Diamond Spikes hurtling towards Aluo and completely enveloping Aluo.

The Diamond Spikes eventually pierced the opponent's body, tearing him apart in an instant, leaving him covered in blood—a horrific sight.

"I'll keep your greatsword for now. If you survive, come back to me to take it back!" Fanxin smiled and said, "I'll stay on the sea as long as it takes."

Having said that, Fanxin stopped talking nonsense and immediately left.

He Luffy he could, heading in the direction the ship had gone.

Here, Aluo was a bloody mess, but he wasn't dead. He gritted his teeth, grabbed a plank of wood, and slowly swam towards a nearby island. Once back on shore, he began bandaging his body.

However, due to the large area of injury, he didn't have much medication on him and could only receive basic treatment.

However, he did not give up. His will to survive was strong, and he began to search for herbs in the forest.

"Fanxin, you wait, I will survive, I will get my machete back," Aluo said viciously.

He hadn't expected to be defeated today; he hadn't anticipated that Fanxin could move freely in the sea. If he had known, he would never have been so reckless. He would have devised a foolproof plan to deal with Fanxin.

At least he won't choose to attack Fanxin on the open sea; he'll choose a spacious landmass and launch a fierce attack on Fanxin.

However, now that everything is settled, he has nothing to say.

If he wants to move back, he must survive and then improve his strength. Only in this way can he overcome his Fanxin.

He glanced in the direction Fanxin had left, a resolute look appearing in his eyes.

Fanxin caught up with his ship at top speed.

Meanwhile, the Little Black Cat was repairing the boat. The mast was broken, and they could only rely on the engine. However, the engine required energy, and their energy was insufficient to sustain them for long. Therefore, they had to fix the mast. Only then could they use the wind.

At this point, the boat docked next to a small island, and everyone disembarked, except for the Little Black Cat who stayed on the boat to repair it.

"Little Black, how long will it take to fix?" Fanxin asked after boarding the boat.

"Three or four days! Go have fun, I'll take care of things here," the Little Black Cat said.

"Okay." Fanxin didn't mince words. He couldn't repair the boat anymore, so staying here would be pointless. After changing into clean clothes in his room, he went to explore the island.

Right now, everyone is picking and eating fruit on the island, which has many fruit trees.

Fanxin only recognized a few kinds of fruits; he didn't recognize the rest.

"Hey, don't eat things you don't recognize, it could lead to poisoning," Fanxin warned.

They don't have a ship's doctor anymore; if something really happens, it'll be a real problem.

"Okay." Ren Fang nodded and said, "If you're free, come dig up some fruit trees here. I'm going to transplant them all into Wolf Valley."

"Oh, really? Okay then!" Upon hearing this, Fanxin didn't hesitate and immediately went to help.

He also wanted to complete the construction of Wolf Valley, after all, it would be their future home! Since he had nothing else to do now, he naturally wouldn't hold back his efforts.

Then, he took his tools and went to the fruit tree to start digging up the fruit.

Jesse, the Su sisters, and Langyue were all helping.

Everyone was busy and having a great time, moving all the fruit from the island into Wolf Valley.

Ren Fang chose a good spot and planted them.

They not only dug up the fruit, but also most of the soil.

This island used to be very large, but now it looks much smaller and has been completely dug up.

"Alright, everything's done." Ren Fang said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's good." Fanxin Xin nodded and said, "Let's go, we'll get on the boat too. The Little Black Cat must be quite lonely there all by itself."

Ren Fang and the others didn't object. They were playing there while the Little Black Cat was working alone, which was indeed a bit unreasonable.

Even though they don't know how to repair boats, they can always offer to help!

Afterwards, they all returned to the ship.

Ren Fang went to the kitchen to cook.

The others stayed here to help, while Langyue went to the bottom of the sea to catch fish. It was an expert at this, so the task of catching fish was left to it.

It eats some of the fish it catches, and takes the rest to the fourth level of Wolf Valley, where a giant sea serpent lives and needs food. Every day, it sends some over to satisfy its needs.

However, the sea serpent hasn't been eating much lately and has fallen into a deep sleep. Perhaps it's due to the effects of the dragon blood and dragon soul, but it seems to be undergoing a metamorphosis.

Fanxin checked on the other person every day and was relieved to find that although the other person was in a deep sleep, there was no danger to their life.

Fanxin eagerly anticipated the sea serpent's evolution into a dragon, which would give him another companion on his ship. However, his motivation for transforming the sea serpent into a dragon wasn't solely for the sake of the pirate crew, but also for the sake of his family.

His family lost a Giant Dragon because of him, and he is prepared to return a Giant Dragon to his family.
