Hard to Part (3)

After preparing the meal, Fanxin went to call everyone to eat.

They stopped eating then, because they were also feeling hungry. They went back to their rooms, took showers, and then gathered at the dining table to eat.

After lunch, everyone went to rest. They had trained for a long time today, twice as long as usual. They were exhausted and had no energy left.

However, Fanxin did not rest. After washing the dishes, he put them in the cupboard.

After that, he went to spar with senior Li Kecheng.

"You're quite angry, what's wrong? Did something upset you today?" Senior Li Kecheng was quite surprised to see Fanxin's increasingly aggressive behavior, even though it posed no threat to him. Fanxin wasn't usually this fierce.

He felt that Fanxin had suffered a great loss today. Therefore, he was going to vent his anger on him.

"That's right, I fought a Logia Fruit user today. Damn it, I couldn't even scratch him!" Fanxin nodded affirmatively upon hearing this.

"Logia? Who is that?" Li Kecheng asked curiously upon hearing this.

"Fire Fist Ace, the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates," Fanxin said.

"Oh, you Whitebeard's crew? Heh, you've got some nerve!" Senior Li Kecheng chuckled and said.

"What's there to be afraid of! Once I'm stronger, I plan to challenge him, defeat him, and seize his position as one of the Four Emperors," Fanxin Xin chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Li Kecheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

He had fought Whitebeard more than ten years ago. At that time, he was no match for Whitebeard. Although he didn't die in that battle, he was injured. The reason he had become so strong was because he hadn't been wandering around for more than ten years; he had been training in his hometown. He had spent so much time to achieve what he had today. He felt that it would be no easy task for Fanxin to defeat him.

The stronger he became, the more he appreciated Whitebeard's power! Whitebeard was incredibly strong; he was a true monster.

"Oh, why are you so sure?" Fanxin asked, puzzled.

"Because Whitebeard was comparable to the Pirate King back in the day! You probably know a thing or two about how powerful the Pirate King was!" Li Kecheng said with a wry smile.

"Yes, I do know the name of the Pirate King. But didn't he eventually get caught by the Navy?" Fanxin said, "He was eventually sent to the guillotine and executed."

"Execution? Ha! If Roger doesn't want to die, who can kill him?" Upon hearing this, Li Kecheng shook his head and said.

"Ah, Roger wants to die? What's going on?" Fanxin was puzzled upon hearing this. He felt that there seemed to be some secret that he did not know.

"I don't know the specifics. Back then, I had just been promoted to Vice Admiral. However, I heard some rumors that the Pirate King Roger wasn't captured by the Navy. Rather, Roger delivered himself to their doorstep," Li Kecheng said. "Because he delivered himself, the Navy didn't lose a single soldier! They captured him easily. If our Navy had attacked him, given Roger's madness, we would have suffered heavy losses."

"Oh, that makes sense. But why did he turn himself in?" Fanxin asked, puzzled.

His face was filled with shock, for he had heard a shocking secret! If this secret were to leak out, the Navy would inevitably become the target of public criticism. At that time, the Navy would be caught in a vortex of public opinion from which it would be unable to extricate itself. Because back then, they had reported to the outside world that they had gone to great lengths to capture the Pirate King Roger.

"How would I know? Such a big shot does things that are hard to understand." Li Kecheng shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Perhaps he has other motives!"

"Purpose? The person is dead, what purpose could there be?" Fanxin asked, puzzled.

"Heh, sometimes, only when someone dies can the goal be achieved," Li Kecheng said. "Before the Luo family died, although there were pirates at sea, they were few and far between, because everyone was terrified of the dangers of the Grand Line. Everyone called the Grand Line the Devil Sea and dared not set foot there."

"But everything changed after Roger died. The Great Pirate Era arrived, countless people set sail to become pirates, and the Grand Line wasn't so scary anymore."

"Every year, people set sail to become pirates, even though most know they might die. But they go without hesitation because they all want Roger's great treasure. I now believe that Roger's purpose was to usher in the Great Pirate Era, to get more and more pirates onto the Grand Line."

"Then what is his ultimate goal?" Fanxin asked.

"Hehe, I don't know about that. Once someone finds his One Piece, I believe everything will become clear," Li Kecheng said. "Now that you've become one of the countless pirates, haven't you ever thought about obtaining his One Piece?"

"The One Piece?" Fanxin chuckled upon hearing this and said, "I'd like to, but I've heard that the latter half of the Grand Line is guarded by the Four Emperors. Their strength is comparable to that of Admiral. If I'm not strong enough, how can I possibly snatch it? Therefore, my primary goal at this stage is still cultivation—constantly cultivating to become stronger."

Taking food from the Four Emperors requires considerable skill. If you're not strong enough, you'll be wiped out by Four Emperors sooner or later.

Once you enter the latter half of the Grand Line, not only will the Four Emperors target you, but also Marine Admiral. To obtain the One Piece, you must have the strength to contend with them; only then can you carve a bloody path through them.

"That's right, that's exactly how it is. Then you should put in more effort," Li Kecheng said with a smile.

"That's for sure," Fanxin said confidently.

"Oh, right, starting tomorrow, I'm not planning to come in and spar with you anymore," Fanxin suddenly remembered something and said.

"Oh, is there something important you need?" Li Kecheng asked, puzzled.

"Yes, I'm planning a trip to the Prague Kingdom," Fanxin said. "It's quite a distance from the Prague Kingdom. I must hurry, otherwise I won't be able to reach my destination within the allotted time."

"What are you going there for?" Li Kecheng asked, puzzled. Fanxin hadn't told Li Kecheng about the plan to deal with the Celestial Dragons yet, so he was still unaware of the details.

"I heard the Celestial Dragons are going there to inspect, I'm planning to go and take a look," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Take a look? You really just want to take a look!" Upon hearing this, Li Kecheng stared at Fanxin for a long time and said, "You kid don't actually intend to attack the Celestial Dragons, do you?"

Fanxin isn't an honest man. If he says he'll take a look, he definitely won't just say that. He's very likely going to make a move. The Celestial Dragons are Celestial Dragons; who would dare to attack them? That would be suicide.

"I'm just going to take a look," Fanxin nodded affirmatively and said.

"Hmph, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Let me tell you, you have to bear the consequences of your actions. If you attack Celestial Dragons, the entire World Government and the Navy won't ignore it. At that point, you'll be listed as the world's most wanted criminal. Then, your life will be very difficult," Li Kecheng said. "You'd better think this through and not push yourself into a corner."

"Senior, the Celestial Dragons have encountered a shipwreck and were attacked by Sea Kings. Am I supposed to take responsibility for everything? They're being too domineering!" Fanxin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Kecheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at Fanxin and said, "Heh, you little rascal, you're truly a cunning and treacherous fellow. Anyone who offends you will definitely come to a bad end."

He knew about the abilities of Fanxin; he could now walk freely on the seabed. It was entirely possible for him to create a shipwreck, bring over some Sea Kings, and use them to attack the Celestial Dragons' ships.

He won't expose himself at all! At that time, the World Government and the Navy will only attribute the cause to a shipwreck or an attack by Sea Kings, and won't look into Fanxin.

Fanxin does this, the Celestial Dragons will only suffer losses and won't be able to cause him any trouble!

"Hehe, senior, it's settled then." Fanxin said with a smile.

"Alright, but I don't understand why you're targeting the Celestial Dragons. Is it because they once ordered an attack on your Soul Clan?" Li Kecheng asked, puzzled.

"Hmph, I just wanted the whole world to know that the Celestial Dragons are nothing special after all," Fanxin Xin chuckled, adding, "Of course, there's an element of revenge involved too."

"Whatever you want! Anyway, the Celestial Dragons aren't any good either. They rely on being Celestial Dragons to act recklessly and treat other races as slaves. Their arrogance definitely needs to be curbed. However, you absolutely must not reveal your whereabouts, or you'll be in big trouble." Li Kecheng nodded and said.

He had no respect for the Celestial Dragons whatsoever. Having served in the Navy, he had heard countless stories about them. The Celestial Dragons' Celestial Dragons were numerous and unforgivable.

However, due to their special status, no one dares to target them. Even the Navy dares not interfere with them. Because of this, they have become increasingly arrogant. Nowadays, even the law cannot punish them. Because they are Celestial Dragons, descendants of the creator.

If he hadn't been in the Navy, he wouldn't have known about the Celestial Dragons' despicable acts. One of the reasons he left the Navy was because of the Celestial Dragons.

He simply couldn't stand the Celestial Dragons' arrogant attitude, as if everyone else were slaves and they were the masters.

Now, Fanxin is making his move against them. He's actually quite looking forward to it. However, he doesn't want Fanxin to reveal his identity right now, because he's not capable of bearing the Celestial Dragons' wrath.

If Fanxin were to attack Celestial Dragons under his true identity, he would face pursuit by Marine Admiral. Those days would be anything but peaceful.

However, if Fanxin's strength rivals that of Admiral, then no one can stop him from doing whatever he wants. Because he can withstand the wrath of the Celestial Dragons. Even if the Celestial Dragons send out Admiral, so what? Fanxin can handle it perfectly well.

"I understand, don't worry! I just want to go and see what the Celestial Dragons are like, and what's so special about them," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Actually, it's pretty much the same, just extremely arrogant," Li Kecheng said dismissively.

"Hehe, alright, I'm going back to sleep. Do as you please." Fanxin waved his hand, then left without lingering and went back to his room to rest.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Fanxin put on his Flight Armor and left the small world.

Once outside, he and the robot Xiao Ning began flying towards the Prague Kingdom.

The two Luffy without stopping for long.

They traveled continuously and finally arrived in the Prague Kingdom after twenty-eight days.

The Prague Kingdom is vast, has a large population, and is very wealthy.

However, this is only the surface, because only a portion of the population is truly wealthy; the vast majority of people are still very poor.

Upon Fanxin in the territory of the Prague Kingdom, Fan Xin immediately landed. He then altered his appearance to make it impossible for others to recognize him.

After settling everything, Fanxin took Xiao Ning and entered the Prague Kingdom.

As he walked along, he discovered that the kingdom was undergoing renovations, and all the unreasonable parts had been demolished. The slums had also been destroyed by order of the king. As expected, the poor people were sent away by ship to other places.

They did this because they were worried that these poor people would displease the Celestial Dragons.

"Hmph, a bunch of sycophantic bastards. They treat their own people like this for the sake of a so-called Celestial Dragons. Such a country will perish sooner or later." Fanxin felt deeply saddened when he saw the poor people being shackled and put on the ship.

If he were the king of this country, he would never do such a thing. So what if you're Celestial Dragons? What good will your arrival do me?

He shook his head, not bothering to interfere. He had come here to see the Celestial Dragons, but Celestial Dragons hadn't arrived yet. He wouldn't make a move now.

"Hehe, just you wait! King of Prague, I'll make you cry then." Fanxin Xin chuckled, and after a moment, he ignored everything else and immediately left, entering the city.

Once inside the city, he found a place to stay and settled down temporarily.

"I heard that the Celestial Dragons are supposed to be coming here the day after tomorrow," said the robot Xiao Ning.

"The day after tomorrow? Okay, I'll send them a big gift the day after tomorrow." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

"Hmm, where are you planning to make your move? Inside the Prague Kingdom, or outside the kingdom?" the robot Xiao Ning asked.
