Weather Master (3)

"I see!" Fanxin nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Then why didn't you want to come with me before? You definitely wouldn't have been able to endure staying up here alone."

An adult died of illness here, let alone a little girl? He really couldn't imagine how much longer this little girl would have survived if he hadn't come here.

"I don't want to leave my mom," the little girl said, pouting. As she spoke, tears streamed down her face like a broken faucet, impossible to stop.

"Alright, alright. From now on, you'll always be with your mom. She'll play with you and grow up with you." Fanxin couldn't stand seeing girls cry; it made him feel terrible. He immediately went over, hugged the little girl, and wiped away her tears.

With Fanxin's comforting words, the little girl finally stopped crying and smiled.

"Alright, from now on this is your home, and all these people are your family! Have fun playing here!" Fanxin said with a smile.

The little girl nodded seriously and agreed.

"Alright, let's not talk about anything else. Kneel a few times for Mom, and then let's go back!" Fanxin said. He didn't want to stay here any longer; he was worried that the little girl would start crying again, and then he wouldn't know what to do.

The little girl obediently knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to her mother. Then, Fanxin no longer hesitated, took the little girl, and left, heading towards their residence.

After chatting with the little girl, Fanxin learned her name: Chen Yuning.

Fanxin led her away, chatting about happy things to help the little girl recover from her pain. By the time they reached their lodgings, the little girl had completely forgotten her earlier distress and was laughing happily without a care in the world.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet them." Fanxin took the little girl's hand and headed towards the training ground. The little girl didn't object and immediately followed.

At this moment, everyone was engaged in combat, the two sides locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle. Meanwhile, the Black Man veteran Li Kecheng sat on a recliner, watching and sipping tea, looking quite relaxed.

"Senior, you seem quite relaxed!" Fanxin called out as she approached Li Kecheng.

"Hmm, how did you get in? It doesn't seem to be evening yet!" Li Kecheng said, his brows furrowing slightly.

He stipulated that Fanxin must leave Wolf Valley before dawn and could only return after dark. He had to stay outside all day, no matter how dangerous it was.

It's not time yet, and he doesn't want Fanxin to come in. If she gets used to it, Fanxin 'll keep coming in, which would be pointless for training.

"Hehe, it's not time yet. I'm here to see this little girl off. She'll be one of my crew members from now on, and I hope you'll take good care of her." Fanxin Xin nodded, somewhat embarrassed.

He didn't actually want to come in; he had no choice. If he didn't bring the little girl in, she wouldn't go with him. So, in order to abduct her, he had to break the rules.

"Oh, you want her to be a crew member? What are her special skills?" Upon hearing this, Senior Li Kecheng paused for a moment, then looked at the little girl and asked.

He thought the little girl was quite ordinary, just pretty. But pirates need to be strong. What could a little girl possibly do?

"Hehe, don't let her young age fool you, she really gave Garp's warships a hard time," Fanxin said with a chuckle.

"Oh, what do you mean? Tell me?" Li Kecheng asked curiously.

"She's a weather master; she can control the weather in an area. I trespassed into her territory. Garp followed me in. She was furious and created a huge storm that attacked us," Fanxin said. "My boat was too small, so I had no choice but to go into the sea. By the time I went to attack Garp, they were already busy with something else."

"Even if I didn't intervene, Garp's ships wouldn't fare well. Under the prolonged onslaught of the storm, even if they didn't capsize, they would be filled with water and eventually forced to retreat from the area she controlled. Isn't she formidable!"

"Oh, really? Hehe, it seems I was mistaken after all." Li Kecheng nodded and said, "Alright, since you're a crew member, you'll participate in training from now on!"

"Oh no, she's so young, she can't handle that kind of high-intensity training!" Fanxin frowned slightly upon hearing this and said.

He valued Chen Yuning's ability to control the weather, not her combat skills. He only needed her to give commands; that was enough. As for anything else, he wouldn't let her do it.

Therefore, it's fine if he insists that she not participate in physical training. After all, she's a little girl.

"Don't worry! I know what I'm doing," Li Kecheng said. "Alright, you can get out now! It's not dark yet, you must stay outside."

Upon hearing this, Fanxin was immediately annoyed and said, "You're so heartless."

"You want me to throw you out, is that it?" Li Kecheng said, glaring at him.

Upon hearing Fanxin, Fan Xin had no choice but to compromise. Li Kecheng was polite to others, but he showed absolutely no politeness to Fan Xin. If Fan Xin continued to ramble on, Li Kecheng would definitely beat him up without any mercy.

"Alright, I'll go then." Fanxin nodded dejectedly, then squatted down, looked at the little girl, and said, "You can stay here. Grandpa will take good care of you. He's a doctor, so if you feel unwell, he can treat you, understand?"

"Okay, I understand," Chen Yuning nodded and said.

Without Fanxin hesitation, Fan Xin immediately headed outside to gain experience.

Li Kecheng then took out a chair and let the little girl sit down. He also took out a lot of snacks and placed them aside for her to choose from.

The little girl's treatment was worlds apart from Fanxin's; it was like comparing heaven and earth. If Fanxin heard this, he might be furious.

"From now on, you'll stay here. Starting tomorrow, you'll also participate in training, understand? Only when you become stronger can you become a warrior and help Brother Fanxin, do you hear me?" Li Kecheng said.

Although Fanxin only valued the little girl's ability to control the weather, he felt it was far from enough. Because if a major war were to break out, the little girl would inevitably have to join the battle. If she didn't have the ability to protect herself, that would be a serious problem.

Therefore, he must teach the little girl to fight; if she becomes stronger, then his Fanxin will no longer need to worry about her.

"Okay, I understand, Grandpa." Chen Yuning nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.

"That's good, go ahead and eat!" Li Kecheng nodded slightly, then went inside to prepare something.

After Ren Fang and the others finished their training, they came over to keep the little girl company. They had seen her earlier, but the training wasn't finished yet, so they couldn't come over without permission; they had only glanced at the little girl.

Now that their training is over, they naturally don't need to worry about so much anymore.

"Oh, what a pretty little girl! Where did Fanxin find her?" Su Hai pinched Chen Yuning's cheek and said with a smile.

"Hehe, never mind her. Now that we're here, we're all family. So don't be shy, just stay here." Ren Fang gently pinched the little girl's delicate nose and said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuning nodded slightly. She wasn't shy at all because she sensed that these people were all very kind and didn't seem to have any intention of targeting her.

"Alright, you guys go take a bath! You can come play after you're done." Li Kecheng came out, took out a large bag of powder, handed it to Ren Fang, and said.

Ren Fang nodded and immediately led everyone over there.

"Oh, right, Ren Fang." Li Kecheng suddenly remembered something and called out to Ren Fang.

Upon hearing this, Ren Fang immediately turned around, looked at Li Kecheng, and said, "Senior, what is it?"

"Make her a few sets of practice clothes tonight! She'll be training tomorrow, and it won't be good for her to train in a skirt, understand?" Li Kecheng said. The skirt was a bit of a hindrance, making it difficult for her to move freely. So, he hoped Ren Fang could alter some other clothes for the little girl to wear.

"Okay, no problem." Ren Fang nodded and immediately led everyone to take a bath.

The little girl and Li Kecheng ate and chatted together.

After Fanxin left, they returned to the island. By then, the little girl had dispelled the magic, and the sky had cleared.

Fanxin originally intended to continue his journey by boat and leave.

But just as he was about to make a move, he heard a cold shout, "Fanxin, where do you think you're going? Prepare to die!"

Upon hearing Fanxin, Fan Xin immediately looked towards the direction from which the sound came and discovered that the marines had also arrived on the island. They were currently rushing over from afar to target him.

"Marine Corps? Oh no, Garp must be here too. I have to leave." Fanxin glanced at the scene, his expression changing slightly. Then, without further hesitation, he immediately headed towards the distance.

He recognized these marines; they were from Garp's warship. Since they were here, Garp must have arrived as well.

He couldn't beat Garp now, so he had to run away. Otherwise, if Garp caught him, it would be a real problem.

"Kid, where do you think you're going?!" Just as Fanxin was running into the distance, a figure rushed over from afar and blocked his path. This person was none other than Garp.

Garp was soaking wet, looking like a drowned rat, and appeared quite disheveled. Clearly, he had been thoroughly humiliated by Fanxin earlier and was only now recovering.

"Hehe, Vice Admiral Garp, what brings you here!" Fanxin looked at Garp and said with a smile, "What happened to you? You look so disheveled!"

He really brought up the very thing he shouldn't have said. Garp was already furious, Fanxin brought it up, which was clearly a sarcastic remark.

Garp chuckled and said, "Kid, keep laughing. Remember this, I'll make you regret it."

Then, Garp stopped wasting words and launched a fierce attack on Fanxin.

Fanxin Xin immediately retreated, using the Diamond Spikes to buy time while fleeing into the distance.

However, the Diamond Spikes didn't buy him much time, because Garp wasn't afraid of them. He activated his Haki, which wrapped around his body and blocked the Diamond Spikes.

He was fast and kept up closely.

"Damn, this guy who's mastered the Haki is something else." Fanxin sighed helplessly and had no choice but to put on his Flight Armor and fly into the sky.

Garp immediately followed; he could walk in the air. This was a power from the Six Powers. After developing the human body to its limit, one could use the advantage of speed to gain momentum in the air. In this way, a person could walk in the air.

Garp was very fast, following closely behind without giving up.

"Damn, that's amazing? Looks like I still need to work harder," Fanxin exclaimed.

This is Garp pushing his physical potential to its limit; he can't do that yet. This shows just how big the gap is between him and Garp.

"Kid, you can't escape. I'm going to catch you!" Garp shouted as he chased after him.

"Heh, old man Garp, you should just give up! You can't catch me." Fanxin shouted, "Just you wait! When I get stronger and learn Conqueror's Haki, I'll definitely find you and fight you. I'll definitely slap you across the face a few times!"

"Hmm, Conqueror's Haki? You said you have Conqueror's Haki?" Garp was taken aback for a moment before asking.

"Of course, what's with that expression? Do you think only you guys can use Conqueror's Haki, and I can't?" Fanxin said unhappily.

"Heh, I see. I see." Garp chuckled and said, "That bastard Sengoku made me chase after you, so there was something he didn't tell me! Sengoku, are you scared? Scared that this kid will grow up and fight the Marines?"

"Sigh, if that's the case, why did you issue such an order back then? Aren't you reaping what you sowed?" Garp said helplessly.

Back then, he also disagreed with eradicating the Soul Clan because this race was too strange. Even if you killed them, they could still live, although it would be more difficult than before. However, if they harbored resentment and possessed other people's souls, they would create a terrifying force.

Although he hadn't heard of any Soul Clan taking action in the past ten years, he was certain that they were operating in secret, they just didn't know it.

"What are you talking about, muttering to yourself?" Fanxin noticed that although Garp was still chasing, his speed had obviously decreased a lot. He was immediately annoyed, wondering what Garp was thinking and what he was muttering to himself.

"Ah, I forgot to chase you, damn it." Upon hearing this, Garp looked at the distance between himself and Fanxin and immediately felt annoyed. He had been distracted by Fanxin's words and had forgotten that he was chasing Fanxin.

He slowed down, while Fanxin maintained his high speed. Therefore, the distance between him and Fanxin grew ever wider, making it increasingly difficult for him to pursue.

"Garp, let me ask you something!" Fanxin Xin chuckled, then, as if remembering something, said, "I heard your grandson recently defeated Crocodile, pretty impressive, huh? What are your thoughts?"

He read the newspapers and the arrest warrant, so he knew all of this.

"Thoughts my ass, get lost!" Garp was furious. He had always hoped his grandson would become a Marine, but Luffy seemed to be possessed, insisting on becoming a pirate, and specifically the Pirate King. He had tried many times to persuade him, even beating him up countless times. But Luffy still wouldn't listen, which gave him a huge headache.

Now, Luffy has defeated Crocodile, which is incredibly impressive. However, he has also become a major criminal, with his bounty reaching 100 million.

A criminal with a bounty of over 100 million is a prime target for the Navy. He couldn't imagine how Luffy would survive.

"Hehe, don't worry! Next time we meet, I'll take him to attack the Marine Headquarters. We'll meet then." Fanxin Xin chuckled and immediately flew off into the distance.

"You brat, you wait! I'll catch you! How dare you tempt my grandson? Are you looking for death?" Garp was furious. Fanxin was trying to lead Luffy to his death. At that point, even he wouldn't be able to protect Luffy.

Seeing that Fanxin had flown far away, he had no choice but to land back on the ground.

The marines were furious when they saw Fanxin fly away.

They then waited on the island for the warships to arrive. Their warship had been stabbed by Fanxin Xin and was now sunk in the sea, unable to be retrieved. They had no more ships available and could only wait for the warships to rescue them.

After leaving this place, Fanxin Luffy until he was four hundred miles away from the island where Garp was, and then he stopped.

He launched the small boat and continued sailing into the distance.

After nightfall, he found an island to stay on temporarily. Then, he took his small boat and returned to Wolf Valley.

By this time, everyone was playing in the yard. They had finished their bath and felt very comfortable.

Everyone was playing with Chen Yuning, and the little girl was overjoyed.

Fanxin was very happy to see that everyone liked the little girl so much, so he didn't need to try to persuade them anymore.

"Big brother, you're back." Chen Yuning smiled sweetly and called out when she saw Fanxin.

Fanxin nodded, walked over, patted the little girl's head, and asked, "How are you? Are you settling in alright here?"

The little girl nodded and said, "I'm used to it, I'm so used to it, everyone is very nice."

"In that case, you can stay here without worry!" Fanxin Xin nodded and said, "Alright, go play now, big brother is going to cultivate."

Besides his own training during the day, he also had to spar with Li Kecheng for several hours every night. When sparring with Li Kecheng, he wouldn't dodge or run away. Because although Li Kecheng would beat him half to death, he would never kill him.

He wouldn't fight Garp to the death because Garp's stance is different. He's still Marine Vice Admiral; if Garp catches him, he'll end up in jail.

Therefore, when he encountered Garp, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately ran away, because he was no match for Garp at the moment. To fight him to the death would be tantamount to suicide.

After saying goodbye to Chen Yuning, Fanxin Xin immediately followed Li Kecheng.

Instead of practicing in the training area near their residence, they went to the edge of the first floor. Their attack range was too wide; they risked destroying the residence. Therefore, they had to go further away.

At 10 p. m., Fanxin and Li Kecheng finished their sparring session and returned home together.

Fanxin went to take a bath, while Li Kecheng went to take a shower.

Fanxin was covered in injuries, with several broken bones, and was gritting his teeth in pain. Li Kecheng, on the other hand, was completely unharmed, only feeling very tired.

Soaking in the medicinal liquid, Fanxin finally felt a little better.

Ren Fang came in and started to bathe Fanxin. She was now completely uninhibited. Everyone knew this too. On the first day, they had teased her a little, but now they were all used to it.

After taking a bath, Fanxin went to eat. After dinner, Fanxin went to bed. He was so tired and sleepy that he had no desire to play with everyone.

But everyone was in good spirits and played with the little girl there.

After midnight, the little girl went to her room to sleep, and the Little Black Cat slept with her.

The two were hugging each other, seemingly cold, and their sleeping postures were quite comical.

Nothing more was said that night.

The next day, after having breakfast, Fanxin went out to continue his journey.

"I'm not familiar with this area. Damn it, I wonder where they flew off to." Fanxin Xin looked around and found only a vast ocean with no ships in sight, and was immediately frustrated.

He was so focused on saving his life yesterday that he forgot which way he was running.

Now, he's completely disoriented.

"Whatever, let's just drift like this! I'll ask around when I run into someone." Fanxin glanced around, unsure of where he was. So he simply sat quietly on the boat and began cultivating his soul.

The robot then steered the ship, slowly moving forward.

He didn't know how much time had passed Fanxin heard the sounds of fighting, and only then did he return his soul to his body.

"What happened?" Fanxin asked.

"The two groups are fighting desperately, I don't know what they're doing. I saw you weren't awake yet, so I stopped the ship. Otherwise, if we had entered their fighting range, it would have been troublesome," the robot said.

"I see. Then let's just wait and see!" Fanxin said. He didn't know the situation and couldn't act yet. If he helped the bad guys, it would be troublesome.

The robot nodded, turned off its engine, and waited there.

Ahead, two forces were clashing again. They were two pirate crews. Fanxin glanced at them but didn't recognize them. Clearly, these were small pirate crews; otherwise, he would definitely know them.

He had been gathering information on other pirate crews to know his enemy and himself, so that he wouldn't be so timid when fighting them again.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, both sides were quite angry and finally left.

They didn't pay any attention to Fanxin, perhaps because Fanxin alone wasn't worth their attention!

Fanxin ignored them and continued forward.

After walking for several hours, Fanxin encountered another pirate crew.

"Hmm, that pirate crew is... Buggy the Clown, right?" Fanxin looked at the pirate flag of that crew, thought for a moment, and said somewhat uncertainly.

"Yes, that pirate crew is the Buggy Pirates," the robot added.

This robot was specially made for Fanxin by the Little Black Cat to assist him. It had incorporated some basic knowledge into the robot. Therefore, this little robot was actually like an encyclopedia. Fanxin could ask the robot anything he wanted to know, and the robot could tell him the truth.

"Hehe, I can't even remember them all. Looks like they're not a powerful pirate crew," Fanxin said with a smile.

"His bounty is only fifteen million, which is far less than yours," the robot said.

"Hehe, never mind, I smell something delicious, and I'm hungry anyway, I'll go get some food!" Fanxin said with a smile, "Tell Ren Fang not to bring any food out."

After saying that, Fanxin sent the ship and robot back into Wolf Valley.

Fanxin himself donned his Flight Armor and flew above the Buggy Pirates. Then, he plummeted straight down, landing directly on the ship's deck.

After removing his Flight Armor, he rushed to the food and began to eat and drink voraciously.

Buggy and his crew are having a feast; there's plenty of food and drink on the ship.

Everyone was happily drinking.

Fanxin ignored him and wolfed down his food.

Everyone stopped when they saw Fanxin suddenly burst in. They all looked at Fanxin.

Those who hadn't seen Fanxin Xin's face were cursing Fanxin viciously, wishing Fanxin a terrible death. However, those who did see Fanxin Xin's face were terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Because Fanxin has been wanted for a long time. The Navy has an 80 million bounty on his Fanxin, which is much more serious than what they have done.

A strange phenomenon arose on the ship: some were cursing Fanxin, while others were trying to persuade them—it was quite comical.

However, Fanxin ignored him and kept eating, as if he hadn't eaten for many days.

"Hey, you guys eat too, don't be shy." Fanxin felt a little embarrassed when he saw everyone looking at him, so he quickly urged them to eat.

"Hehe..." The person standing in front of Fanxin laughed awkwardly. The person standing behind Fanxin was furious and wished he could rush forward and attack Fanxin immediately.

When Buggy the Clown saw Fanxin, he was initially furious, since Fanxin had eaten his food without his permission, which was very displeasing. However, after seeing Fanxin's face clearly, he immediately shut up.

Although Buggy likes to boast, he's not stupid; he knows perfectly well how powerful Fanxin is.

To ease the awkwardness, he laughed and immediately invited everyone to sit down and continue eating and drinking.

Those standing behind Fanxin moved forward, and when they saw Fanxin's face clearly, they almost jumped off the boat. They had just been hurling insults at Fanxin.

If their Fanxin were to ignite, they would surely die.

However, seeing that Fanxin wasn't angry, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, everyone started celebrating.

Buggy kept offering Fanxin a toast, not daring to Fanxin him. If Fanxin got angry, his entire pirate crew would be Fanxin out.

"Alright, stop being so attentive. I won't wipe you out," Fanxin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Buggy's face immediately turned awkward, because Fanxin had revealed his secret.

However, Fanxin was an expert in this area, with incredibly thick skin. He immediately recovered and chatted and laughed with Fanxin again.

"Isn't this the captain of the Heavenly Soul Pirates? Why are you alone?" A voice came just as Fanxin was talking to Buggy.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful woman. She had an oval face, red lipstick, and curly hair that cascaded down her back.

She wore a floral skirt on her lower body, but very little on her upper body—a bikini with a coat over it, which was left open, giving her a very uninhibited look.

Fanxin noticed that many men on the ship were staring at her, mainly at her full breasts, which were most likely to arouse their desires.

"Who are you?" Fanxin asked suspiciously. He wasn't attracted to her, because Ren Fang was much prettier. If he were to look at someone, it would be Ren Fang, not another woman.

"I am Alvida," the woman said with a smile.

"Alvida? I don't know her." Fanxin shook his head and said.

"Hehe, you really don't know me, because we've never met. Besides, my pirate crew isn't very famous," Alvida nodded and said.

"Oh, is there something you need?" Fanxin Xin nodded and asked.

"I heard you started a pirate crew. Where is your pirate crew?" Alvida asked.

Fanxin smiled and said, "They are currently cultivating. They are too weak. I will wait until they become stronger before letting them reappear."

"I see. So, what brings you here?" Alvida asked.

"A fight? Hehe, I originally came here to fight you guys. But then I smelled something delicious, so I'm not going to fight anymore," Fanxin said with a hearty laugh.

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled and secretly relieved. They were so lucky; otherwise, they would have suffered a great loss.

"Alright, I'm full. You guys can keep fooling around!" Fanxin said. "Oh, right, give me a map. I'm lost and don't know which way to go."

Buggy dared not refuse, and immediately ordered someone to give Fanxin a local map.

Fanxin took the map and left the Buggy Pirates without lingering. Then, he boarded a small boat and sailed away into the distance.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. They had been very tense just now. Even during the revelry, they had been on guard, worried that Fanxin might suddenly go berserk and attack them.

"Alright, enough talk, let's keep going! Damn it, we almost got into big trouble today," Buggy said, frowning.

He was a little scared, worried that another important person had appeared here. If that were the case, he would be devastated.

Under his reprimand, everyone dared not hesitate and immediately set sail, heading into the distance.
