Ghost (1)
After receiving the map, Fanxin breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at it carefully and knew where he was.
"If we go another fifty miles, there will be an island. Let's go, let's go to that island first, and then buy some necessities there!" Fanxin muttered to himself.
Although Wolf Valley has already begun construction, it is not yet self-sufficient. There are still some things that he has to purchase from outside, otherwise, there will be a lot of shortages inside.
Therefore, whenever he arrived at a place inhabited by humans, he had to stop and go to the town to buy necessities; otherwise, the people living in Wolf Valley would suffer.
Having made up his mind, Fanxin stopped talking nonsense and immediately headed in that direction.
The journey was completely peaceful; he encountered no opponents, and Garp and the others were nowhere to be found, presumably having been completely shaken off. Even if they wanted to catch up, it would probably take them a very long time.
Left with no other choice, Fanxin closed his eyes and began cultivating his soul.
Five days later, Fanxin arrived at his destination.
This is a huge, round island, bustling with people. Around the island, many boats are moored, including fishing boats, merchant ships, pirate ships, and even warships.
The Fanxin is dazzled by what it sees.
"Alright, let's go shopping first!" Fanxin hesitated for a moment after seeing the warships, but still went ashore.
The navy is everywhere; wherever there are human inhabitants, there is a navy stationed there. Unless he doesn't want to go shopping anymore, she has to go to the island.
Encountering the navy was unavoidable; there was no way to avoid it. Therefore, he had no choice but to face it.
He stowed away the boat, then, with the robot in tow, headed towards the island.
This island is called Onigashima, which is quite a scary name. I don't know why the people on this island chose such a name. If others misunderstand, they might think that everyone on the island is a ghost.
Although ghosts don't exist, many people use exaggerated language to depict them as terrifying creatures, and the mere mention of ghosts can make people uneasy.
Fanxin made no attempt to hide his intentions and swaggered ashore with the robot. Afterward, he headed towards the market.
Because he didn't conceal his identity, his whereabouts were immediately exposed, and many people found out.
Both the navy and the bounty hunters began to feel uneasy, and they secretly began to prepare to deal with Fanxin.
Fanxin noticed, but he didn't pay attention and instead entered the market to start a large-scale shopping spree.
He instructed the robots inside Wolf Valley to begin moving various necessities, while he outside began a large-scale procurement.
He took a liking to those items and bought them all up, leaving nothing for anyone else. The shopkeeper was happy, but the other customers were not, because they had nothing left.
Fanxin Xin ignored them; he needed to purchase enough supplies, otherwise he would be in trouble when the navy and bounty hunters caught up with him.
Although he wasn't afraid of those guys, they were incredibly annoying. Once they arrived, he wouldn't have time to continue his shopping.
Therefore, he had to hurry and get everything sorted out before the navy and bounty hunters arrived.
"This one, this one, that one, that one, and that one over there..." Fanxin was so busy that she forgot about everything else.
He swept through like a locust swarm, taking everything he wanted. After he passed, many places were empty, with nothing left.
Some shops closed early because Fanxin was too ruthless; he had swept everything out of their shops, leaving nothing behind.
Two hours later, Fanxin stopped.
Ren Fang told him that everything was already in place and there was no need to continue purchasing.
"Master, there are many people watching us, right behind us. What should we do?" the robot asked. It hadn't been making purchases; it had been keeping a close watch on its surroundings, taking in all the people behind it.
"Is he a navy officer? Or a bounty hunter?" Fanxin asked.
"Yes, we have them all," the robot said.
"Never mind, as long as there are no Vice Admiral or Admiral, I don't care about them." Upon hearing this, Fanxin pondered for a moment, then walked forward.
He's only afraid of Vice Admiral and Admiral right now, because his strength isn't that great yet! If Vice Admiral or Admiral, he'll have no choice but to run away.
However, if there are no Admiral or Vice Admiral, then he has nothing to fear; at worst, he can just fight them.
"That's true, let's go!" The robot nodded and followed Fanxin into the distance.
Behind Fanxin, those people saw Fanxin leave and immediately followed, refusing to let go.
Fanxin left the market and went to a restaurant to eat.
Meanwhile, his followers arrived at the restaurant. As soon as they entered, they drove everyone else away and took over the entire restaurant.
The restaurant owner was startled by the situation; he knew something bad was about to happen.
"Sorry, boss, you go prepare the food. I'll handle the rest." Fanxin glanced at those bastards, his brows furrowing slightly. After a moment's thought, he came up with a solution.
The boss was a middle-aged man, muscular and seemingly capable of taking on several people. However, even so, he was still afraid when he saw those guys. Because he was an honest and law-abiding man! He had never done anything like wielding a knife before, and the sight of such a scene terrified him.
Seeing that Fanxin told him to focus on his work, the boss nodded slightly and immediately went into the kitchen. He didn't know what to do now, so he could only follow Fanxin's advice.
Seeing the boss go inside, Fanxin stood up. He looked at the bounty hunters, chuckled, and said, "Now, each of you take out five thousand gold coins, understand? If you don't, then I won't be so polite."
Fanxin spoke, he immediately activated his Diamond Armor. Moments later, his entire body was covered in spikes, aimed in all directions, making it impossible for anyone in the restaurant to escape.
He had his sights set on all those bounty hunters; none of them would escape unless they were indestructible. Otherwise, they would all eventually be struck by the Diamond Spikes.
"Did you hear that? My patience is very limited, you know," Fanxin said with a grin.
"Hmph, kid, who do you think you are? You're our prey. Prey trying to fight back against the hunter? Don't you think that's ridiculous?" A Red Hair man stood up, looked at Fanxin, and said with a disdainful expression.
He had several knife scars on his face, and his whole appearance was extremely sinister. Clearly, this was someone who frequently risked his life.
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a lot of responses, and they all spoke up, mocking his Fanxin for overestimating itself.
Upon hearing this, Fanxin Xin grinned and said, "You're quite the talker, but for me, words alone aren't enough; you need real ability."
"Strength, huh? Kid, we're all renowned bounty hunters. Our reputation speaks for itself," the Red Hair man said.
"Is that so? That's not necessarily true." Fanxin Xin chuckled upon hearing this and said, "In my eyes, only those with the strength of Vice Admiral or Admiral are capable of dealing with me. As for the other small fry, they are of no use to me."
Fanxin looked at the Red Hair man and said, "You're just a nobody, understand? I don't even look at you."
"What did you say? How dare you insult me like that? Are you looking for death?" The Red Hair man's face turned cold upon hearing this. Then, he charged towards Fanxin with his knife, and upon reaching her, he began slashing wildly at Fanxin.
Fanxin did not fight back, letting the other man hack at him. The Red Hair man slashed Fanxin dozens of times before finally stopping.
It wasn't that he wanted to stop, but that he had no choice, because he was extremely tired.
"Heh, he should be dead by now! Serves him right, who told you to mess with me!" The Red Hair man was exhausted, but his face was full of smiles. He felt he had finally killed the Fanxin criminal, the wanted bounty hunter.
He laughed excitedly, but when he saw Fanxin clearly, his expression suddenly changed, because he found that Fanxin was looking at him with a smile, completely unharmed.
"You..." The Red Hair man retreated repeatedly, his heart filled with fear. He had slashed Fanxin so many times, yet Fanxin was completely unharmed, which meant that Fanxin's body was extremely strong. In that case, it was unlikely that he could kill Fanxin. On the other hand, it would be easy for Fanxin to kill him.
"I told you, in my eyes you're nothing but a nobody. Now, do you understand?" Fanxin said with a smile, "Still want to fight? If you still want to fight, you can continue. The food hasn't been served yet, I have time."
Upon hearing this, the Red Hair man retreated hastily, daring not to attack again. He had already used his full strength, yet he hadn't inflicted significant damage. Attacking again would be futile.
The others were also getting a little unsettled. They had all witnessed the Red Hair man's attack on Fanxin, and they had initially thought the Red Hair man would be able to kill Fanxin. However, they discovered that Fanxin did not fight back, letting the Red Hair man hack away at him. He, on the other hand, watched leisurely from the side, as if the Red Hair man was not attacking him at all.
Their strength is almost equal to that of the Red Hair man. If the Red Hair man cannot pose a significant threat to Fanxin, how can they possibly deal with Fanxin?
They slowly retreated, trying to escape.
Fanxin saw through their intentions and said, "I've memorized your faces. If you try to escape, I'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth. Of course, if each of you pays five thousand gold coins, then you can leave easily without me harming you."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment. Some people, refusing to believe it, rushed outside, unwilling to pay the five thousand gold coins and wanting to leave as soon as possible.
However, they were met with dozens of Diamond Spikes. The Diamond Spikes struck their backs with lightning speed and entered their bodies.
"Ah..." The escapee screamed and collapsed into a pool of blood. Although he wasn't dead yet, he was on the verge of death.
The other bounty hunters who saw this broke out in a cold sweat, gasped for breath, and slowly put their feet back down.
They were terrified, for the Fanxin's attack was far too sharp. They hadn't even seen it before their companion lay dying in a pool of blood; it was horrifying.
"Pay up and you can leave. If you don't pay, I'll have to spare your lives," Fanxin said. "Don't blame me for being ruthless. This is the world of pirates. Since you've become bounty hunters, you should understand that if you try to kill a pirate, you might be killed by one. So, I won't hold back. You'll only have a chance to live if you pay to save your lives."
"Heh, five thousand gold coins isn't much! My own head alone costs eighty million, and even if I pay eighty million, the Navy and bounty hunters might not let me go. Alright, pay up!"
Fanxin finished speaking, he stopped wasting words and stared intently at the bounty hunters. The bounty hunters exchanged glances, seemingly communicating with each other through their eyes.
After a few minutes, the bounty hunters all sighed helplessly. Finally, they lined up to pay their money.
They didn't want to risk their lives for five thousand gold coins; it wasn't worth it.
The bounty hunters paid the money, and Fanxin kept his promise, immediately letting them leave.
Soon, all the bounty hunters had left, leaving only Fanxin and a few other people in the restaurant.
"Heh, you're quite sensible, aren't you?" Fanxin Xin chuckled, turned around, looked at the shopkeeper, and said, "This money is all yours. Bring out all the best food in your shop, understand?"
"Uh, that's not necessary, a hundred gold coins will suffice." Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly shook his head and said. He dared not deceive Fanxin, because Fanxin's strength was too great; he had actually driven away so many bounty hunters. If he deceived Fanxin became angry, he would be in trouble.
"I told you to take it, so take it. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and serve the food." Fanxin Xin glared at him and shouted unhappily.
This money was earned by him for the restaurant. He was worried that a fight here would destroy the place, although it wasn't destroyed in the end. But the money should rightfully belong to them.
Seeing that Fanxin was angry, the boss didn't dare to hesitate and immediately called his wife over to get a bag to put the money in.
He, on the other hand, went to serve the food.
After the boss's wife took the money, the boss himself started serving Fanxin the food.
Fanxin did not refuse; he picked up his spoon and began to eat.
"Hey, shopkeeper, I have a question for you! Do you have time right now?" Fanxin suddenly remembered something and asked.
