A Hundred Years of Life (3)

"I understand." Fanxin Xin nodded, keeping it in mind.

It's still somewhat difficult for him to defeat those monkeys. However, he has mastered Haki and is protected by Diamond Armor, creating multiple layers of defense that leave the monkeys with nowhere to attack. Therefore, he exhausted them with all these defenses.

If he didn't have so many layers of defense, it would have been extremely difficult for him to stand among so many monkeys.

Therefore, he will not be arrogant, because he still has a long way to go. Learning to be Haki is just a big step forward on the path to becoming a strong person.

If he wants to become an unparalleled powerhouse, he must continue to climb higher. If he becomes arrogant, he will surely suffer a great loss.

"That's good." Senior Li Kecheng nodded and said, "You take Ren Fang, Wang Yan, and Bingfeng with you. The rest of you stay here and don't go there."

"I want to go," Langyue said immediately.

It loves fighting, and now that there's a fight to fight, it naturally can't give it up.

"Alright, you're included too. The rest of you can't go over," Senior Li Kecheng said solemnly.

"Oh, why?" Fanxin was puzzled. He had originally planned to set sail for the Marine Headquarters. However, according to what Senior Li Kecheng had done, they couldn't set sail yet. After going to the Marine Headquarters, he would have to return here. He found this very troublesome.

"There's no way around it, there are just too many powerful individuals," Senior Li Kecheng said. "The Navy has summoned back all the world's best marines and commanders. Moreover, the Shichibukai are assisting them, and the Three Admirals and the Fleet Admiral will all be present. This is an unprecedented battle; anyone other than those with formidable strength going there is practically committing suicide."

"Therefore, you can only take some of the stronger people with you. The rest of you have to stay here. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will all be wiped out."

The Shichibukai, the Three Admirals, and the Fleet Admiral are all incredibly powerful figures. Without any real strength, how could you possibly try to teach them a lesson?

He observed the strengths of Fanxin, Langyue, Wang Yan, Bingfeng, and Ren Fang, and found them all quite impressive. Therefore, he felt these individuals could proceed. As for the others, they were not yet ready.

"Alright! I'll listen to you." Fanxin Xin nodded, offering no objection. Senior Li Kecheng was originally in the navy, so he knew the situation there very well. He probably wasn't mistaken.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of things here," Senior Li Kecheng said.

"That's good." Fanxin nodded and said, "Langyue, you stay and chat with the senior for a while, I'll go in and make some arrangements."

Langyue nodded and began to chat with Senior Li Kecheng about the year's achievements. Senior Li Kecheng listened attentively.

After entering Wolf Valley, Fanxin saw Ren Fang, Bingfeng, Wang Yan, and others. They were sparring and having a great time.

When they saw Fanxin return, they all stopped.

Ren Fang made no attempt to hide her feelings and rushed into his arms, her eyes brimming with tears. She had missed Fanxin terribly over the past year, but she couldn't go inside him. Therefore, she could only suppress her emotions.

Now that she had finally seen Fanxin, she no longer needed to suppress her emotions. So, she couldn't help but cry.

"Alright, I'm back now, aren't I? Look at all these people watching, it's so embarrassing." Fanxin wiped away Ren Fang's tears and said with a smile.

"I don't care anymore. Let others laugh if they want to," Ren Fang said nonchalantly. She held Fanxin's arm, looking delighted.

"Okay, okay." Fanxin comforted Ren Fang, then greeted everyone.

"Everyone, come here for a moment, I have something to announce," Fanxin Xin shouted.

His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear, and soon they all put down their work and came to Fanxin.

"I'm out, which means we're setting sail again," Fanxin said. "However, before we set sail again, I need to go to Marine Headquarters. I believe everyone knows what's going to happen at Marine Headquarters: the Whitebeard Pirates, the Marines, and the Shichibukai are going to fight."

"Akainu is in there too, and I'm going to settle the score with him. However, this time it's too dangerous; I can barely protect myself. So, I won't be taking everyone with me this time, only a portion of the group. Please understand, I have no other choice! I hope you won't object!"

"No, we all know how terrifying it is there. Tell me! Who are you taking?" Ren Fang nodded and immediately said. She completely obeyed Fanxin's arrangements because she was Fanxin's woman and naturally had to support him.

As soon as Ren Fang finished speaking, Fanxin glanced at everyone and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one had raised any objections.

After a moment's thought, Fanxin said, "This time, I'm only taking Bingfeng, Wang Yan, Ren Fang, and Langyue. The rest of you stay here and continue your diligent cultivation. Do you understand? In a few months, we'll be setting sail again. If you're not strong enough, I'll be in trouble!"

"A war between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates, regardless of victory or defeat, will have far-reaching consequences. Especially if Whitebeard dies, the Grand Line will inevitably undergo earth-shattering changes. All pirates will fight fiercely for the title of Four Emperors. At that time, it will be a life-or-death battle between us and others. Therefore, you must become stronger. Only in this way can you survive in this great war, understand?"

"Understood." Everyone nodded in response.

"Very good." Fanxin nodded, then looked at Qiangwei and Lin Haicheng and said, "While we're gone, Lin Haicheng and Qiangwei will be in charge of the procurement. Qiangwei will be in charge of procurement, and Lin Haicheng will be in charge of security, understand?"

"Yes." Lin Haicheng and Qiangwei nodded in response.

"Very good." Then, Fanxin looked at the Little Black Cat and said, "Little Black, whether we can set sail depends on you. How's the ship construction going?"

Their original ships have been dismantled, and they are now building new ones. He has been deep in the forest for a year and knows nothing about the outside world. Therefore, he wants to find out what's going on so he can decide when to set sail.

"It will take a little more time, don't worry! I'll finish it as soon as possible," the Little Black Cat said with a smile.

"That's wonderful! Don't worry! I'll definitely bring you lots of metal this time," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll wait." The Little Black Cat said excitedly. It needed these things just right. Fanxin bringing them over was a huge help!

"Okay, that's all I wanted to say. I'm leaving soon, take care." Fanxin Xin waved and said.

There wasn't much time left before Whitebeard's battle with the Navy, so he had to travel as fast as he could, or they wouldn't make it in time.

"Okay, go ahead!" everyone nodded and said.

"Big brother, you have to take good care of yourself." Chen Yuning walked to Fanxin's side, hugged one of Fanxin legs, and said.

Fanxin held immense significance for her. She didn't want anything to happen to Fanxin. If Fanxin were to happen to him, she would be heartbroken.

Fanxin squatted down, looked at Chen Yuning a smile, and said, "Don't worry! Big brother is very capable, nothing will happen. You can rest assured!"

While he can't say he can kill the Admiral, it's impossible for the Admiral to kill him either. He can easily escape from the Admiral's grasp.

"Okay, sure." Chen Yuning nodded in response.

Fanxin kissed the other person on the cheek, and then left with Ren Fang and the others.

Once outside, Fanxin bid farewell to Senior Li Kecheng and then quickly left.

Fanxin, carrying Langyue, flew into the sky. The other three donned their Flight Armor and followed Fanxin as they flew into the distance.

One month later.

Fanxin led everyone to an island not too far from the Marine Headquarters. This island was called the Sabaody Archipelago.

Pirates who want to reach the second half of the Grand Line must pass through here. The other route has been blocked by the Navy; unless they want to die, they will absolutely not go there.

The pirates can only coat their ships here and then sink them to a depth of 10,000 meters. Only in this way can they enter the second half of the Grand Line.

Fanxin wanted to go to the second half of the journey, so he had to come here. However, he wasn't planning to go there now, because he had more important things to do here.

"Hey, Fanxin, look, isn't that Straw Hat Luffy's pirate ship?" Ren Fang, with her sharp eyes, spotted a ship not far away as soon as she landed. Looking at the ship, she immediately screamed. She wasn't familiar with the ship, but she recognized the pirate flag!

They had traveled with the Straw Hat Pirates for a while and were very familiar with that flag.

"Hehe, that's true. I heard that kid's bounty is already three hundred million, that's terrifyingly high. I don't even have that much." Fanxin said with a wry smile.

His bounty is only 80 million, which is far less than Straw Hat Luffy's. However, he doesn't care about that, because it doesn't mean anything.

With his current abilities, he can completely surpass those newcomers and become the most dazzling rising star.

"Hmph, once we set sail, we'll easily overtake them," Ren Fang said with a smile.

They hadn't gone out for a year, so they hadn't attracted the navy's attention, and naturally, they weren't noticed, much less have a bounty placed on their heads.

However, she believed that once they were released, the Navy would definitely raise their bounty, because they were no longer ordinary pirates.

"Hehe, let's go! Let's wander around." Fanxin said with a smile.

"Aren't we going to say hello to them?" Ren Fang said.

"I don't have time now, let's go when we have time!" Fanxin said.

He was now preparing to find out what was going on. They'd been flying around all day, completely out of the loop. How could he possibly infiltrate Marine Headquarters without knowing the situation? It was simply impossible.

"That makes sense." Ren Fang thought about it and agreed.

They'll all be going to the second half of the route later, so they'll definitely have a chance to run into each other. Therefore, she didn't go over to say hello.

"Alright, you can all go and explore! Gather some information while you're at it; that way, things will be faster," Fanxin said.

Bingfeng, Wang Yan, and Langyue are all very strong, so he felt completely at ease letting them wander around on their own. Moreover, gathering information separately would indeed save time. Therefore, he decided to separate from them for the time being.

"Alright, the three of us will go somewhere else then!" Bingfeng smiled and said, "You two take good care of yourselves."

"Okay." Fanxin Xin chuckled, took Ren Fang's hand, and walked away into the distance.

"Let's go shopping, and maybe buy some clothes and cosmetics," Bingfeng said. Girls love shopping, and she was no exception.

"Okay, that's fine. Langyue, are you coming with us?" Wang Yan asked, looking at Langyue beside him.

Upon hearing this, Langyue shook her head and said, "Forget it, shopping is too boring. I'll go by myself! We'll keep in touch by phone later."

It enjoys fighting and has absolutely no interest in shopping. If you make it go shopping with these two women, it will be incredibly annoyed.

Seeing that Langyue didn't want to go, Wang Yan and Bingfeng had no choice but to give up. Afterwards, the two of them headed towards the clothing store.

Langyue, on the other hand, wandered around aimlessly, buying whatever looked delicious. Its ability to talk and show off amazed everyone present.

Fanxin held Ren Fang's hand and strolled leisurely around the island, buying a few newspapers along the way and reading them as they walked.

"Nine Heavens? It seems that after nine days, the great battle will begin," Fanxin muttered to himself.

"So what are we planning to do for these nine days?" Ren Fang asked curiously. The great battle is nine days from now, so going there now would be pointless. Besides, the navy would undoubtedly be heavily defending the area, and they would be attacked by multiple forces.

Right now, the navy has a lot of experts on their side. If they are surrounded and attacked, it will be a real problem.

"Hmph, I'm planning to go check out the Impel Down," Fanxin said with a smile upon hearing this.

"Oh, why?" Ren Fang asked.

"Because Fire Fist Ace is imprisoned there! If I can rescue him, I'll take action to free him." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said. He and Ace had become friends through a fight, and if he could rescue him, he wouldn't mind taking action.

Now that he has the ability to rescue him, he won't hold back his efforts.

"Yes, but the defenses there must be very tight. How are we going to get in?" Ren Fang nodded and said.

Ace was the spark that ignited this war. The place where Ace was imprisoned must be full of experts, making it extremely difficult for them to infiltrate.

They need to think this through, otherwise, all their previous efforts will be in vain.
