Setting Sail (3)

"Are you the captain of this ship?" Fanxin asked, looking at the strange-looking Cook.

The other person had a small head but a large body, which did indeed look quite strange.

"That's right, I am Captain Cook." The bald man looked at Fanxin and said, "I didn't provoke you, so why did you injure my men and damage my ship?"

Although he spoke calmly, his eyes were very cold, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with Fanxin's actions.

"Hmph, I'm going to get through here, but your ship is blocking my way! So, I have no choice but to take action." Fanxin said, "Hehe, things have come to this, what do you want now?"

"Is that even a question? If you compensate my crew for their medical expenses and ship repair costs, you can leave unharmed. However, if you're unwilling, then I'll have to send you to your death," Cook said.

His tone remained calm, as if nothing could stir his emotions. However, though he appeared calm, he was actually seething with rage. He was radiating murderous intent, and if Fanxin uttered even a single word of dissent, he would strike and kill Fanxin.

"Sorry, I'm a pirate, I don't pay pirates. So, sorry." Fanxin shrugged and said.

"Hmph, since that's the case, then we have nothing more to say. You can go die now." Cook snorted and launched a fierce attack on Fanxin.

He brandished his fists, each punch seemingly aimed to kill Fanxin.

Fanxin snorted lightly, not backing down at all. He swung a fist to meet the opponent's punch.

The two sides were evenly matched, and neither gained an advantage over the other.

He then tried to pull his hand back, but to his astonishment, he found that he couldn't pull it back; his hand was stuck to Cook's and couldn't be separated.

"Holy crap, what's going on?" Fanxin was stunned, somewhat confused about what was happening.

"Heh heh, kid, I've got you. You can't get away." Cook chuckled.

"What do you mean?" Fanxin asked, puzzled.

"My body has a special substance that binds me to anything that touches me, making it impossible for an opponent to escape unless I release them," Cook said with a smile. "However, I generally don't release my opponents. There's only one reason I do: they're dead."

"Boy, now you'd better prepare to face my wrath! How dare you injure my crew, how dare you destroy my pirate ship! I will never forgive you."

Having said that, Cook stopped wasting words and launched a fierce attack on Fanxin with his other fist.

Fanxin was unable to dodge the opponent's attacks and was hit repeatedly by the opponent's fists. Although Fanxin had a diamond body, he was still injured. He didn't know what was wrong with the opponent's fists, which seemed to ignore his diamond body.

"The world is truly full of wonders. It seems that even with my diamond body, I can't be too careless." Fanxin smiled bitterly. He had originally prepared to test his strength against his opponent. Now, however, he was completely entangled.

"Die! Die!" Cook attacked him frantically, wanting Fanxin to die.

His attack power was astonishing; the ship's planks were slowly cracking under his assault, and if he didn't stop, the planks would be completely destroyed.

"Captain, stop! The ship is going to be destroyed!" the fat bald man warned.

The large hole in the bow has already been repaired, but if the captain breaks the ship in the middle again, it will be a real problem. They have no way to reconnect the two broken pieces of the ship in the Vice Admiral.

Cook stopped when he heard this.

He looked at Fanxin and said, "Boy, the place isn't right now, I'll spare you for now. Once we're on land, I'll show you my true power."

"Heh, you do have some skill, but do you think you can easily deal with me like this?" Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "Cook, you really underestimate me."

"Hmm, you didn't even have a chance to fight back just now, how could you possibly beat me?" Cook said incredulously. He felt that Fanxin was lying; in fact, he wasn't strong at all anymore.

"That's because I was thinking about how to kill you later," Fanxin said. "Now that you've had your fill, it's my turn!"

"Hmph, kid, you're pretty arrogant. Come on, let me see just how good you really are!" Cook said, looking at Fanxin with disdain.

"As you wish." Fanxin snorted lightly, then activated the Diamond Spikes and launched a fierce attack on Cook.

Cook was right next to him, in direct contact. So, he had no way to avoid him.

Countless Diamond Spikes struck Cook. His body wasn't made of diamond or steel, so the Diamond Spikes easily pierced through him, penetrating right through him.

Without pausing, Fanxin continued firing Diamond Spikes until he finally stopped after several minutes.

At this moment, Cook was covered in blood and riddled with wounds, looking quite frightening.

"Heh, I told you, you're nothing special," Fanxin said. "If you had let go of my hand, you might have been able to dodge my attack. But unfortunately, you didn't, so you took all my hits."

Cook released Fanxin's hand, his face grim, and said, "I was too careless. You really do have some skills."

"Hehe, do we still need to fight?" Fanxin said with a smile.

"Do you think I can still fight?" Cook gave a bitter laugh. He was covered in wounds, especially on his hands and feet. He was already seriously injured and had no strength left to fight.

"How boring. In that case, I'm leaving." Fanxin shook his head helplessly and said.

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Why don't you kill me?" Cook asked, puzzled.

He knew that if Fanxin wanted to kill him, he would have no chance of escaping. He was too close to Fanxin, and Fanxin's attacks were so dense; if he hit Fan Xin's head or heart, he would be dead.

However, Fanxin only attacked his hands and feet. As for his chest and head, he didn't even flinch. He knew it wasn't that Fanxin couldn't hit him, but that Fanxin didn't want to. If he had really gone all out, he definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge those two blows, and he would have been utterly dead.

"Hehe, I came here for a challenge, not to kill," Fanxin chuckled. "Now that the battle is over, I have no need to take lives!"

"Alright, goodbye, I need to eat now." With a smile, Fanxin Xin waved and left, returning to her small boat.
