Stealing Abilities (2)

"Okay, don't worry!" Fanxin Xin nodded and said.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you, something you absolutely must know," Fanxin said, remembering something.

This matter concerns Whitebeard, and he feels that Whitebeard has the right to know so that he can launch a targeted attack when he fights Blackbeard.

"What is it?" the Whitebeard asked.

"Blackbeard set up such a grand scheme, but its main purpose was actually aimed at you. Specifically, it was your earthquake ability; he wanted to obtain it," Fanxin said. "And because you are too powerful, he dared not face you alone. So, he made you fight to the death with the Marines. When you were exhausted, he would then step in and reap the benefits."

"It's common sense that one person can possess two Devil Fruits. How could he steal my power?" Whitebeard asked, somewhat incredulous.

"Hehe, it's not necessarily impossible! Blackbeard's abilities are incredible; he can even devour the powers of Devil Fruit. It's not impossible for him to take your power," Fanxin said. "Take me for example, I've actually taken your power, it's just that the method was too special."

He possessed the souls of Blackbeard and Whitebeard by relying on their essence. Of course, what he obtained were miniaturized versions, and it would be extremely difficult for him to hone this ability to the level of Devil Fruit.

However, he doesn't need these two abilities to become so powerful, because he is already very strong. As long as he works hard, he can definitely become someone who surpasses Admiral. These two abilities are just supplementary to him.

"Is that so? I understand." Upon hearing this, the Whitebeard pondered for a moment and agreed. He nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

"Alright, I'll go see your crew off now. I'll leave this place to you." Fanxin that the Whitebeard had taken his advice, Fan Xin didn't waste any more words and immediately left.

"Bingfeng, Wang Yan, Langyue, Little Fox, let's go!" Fanxin shouted.

Although the four were somewhat confused about the situation, they couldn't stay since Fanxin had said he was leaving.

Then they came to Fanxin's side.

"Weren't we going to watch a play? Why are we leaving now?" the Little Fox asked, puzzled.

"The show's over. I already know Blackbeard's purpose. There's no need for us to stay any longer," Fanxin said. The Little Fox nodded slightly, saying nothing more.

"Oh, you look so pale. Are you seriously injured?" Bingfeng asked anxiously when he saw Fanxin clutching his chest, looking pained.

"Yes, the power of that Dark-Dark Fruit is extremely domineering; it shredded a lot of my internal organs. Now, I can't exert my fighting power, so I have to leave. Otherwise, once the Navy has time to deal with us, we'll be in big trouble," Fanxin said.

He was seriously injured and unable to fight anymore, which is why he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Even when he was healthy, he couldn't defeat the Admiral. Now that he's injured, defeating the Admiral will be even more difficult.

Although the Admiral suffered considerable losses in the battle, their fighting prowess was undeniable! Therefore, he resolutely decided to leave immediately.

"Okay, we'll leave right away." Bingfeng and the others nodded slightly upon hearing this. Then, they rushed towards the sea.

Once they reached the beach, they organized the Whitebeard Pirates to leave as quickly as possible.

Whitebeard's death is inevitable. Without Whitebeard's protection, it will be extremely difficult for the Whitebeard Pirates to defeat the Marines. And if Blackbeard also targets them, their situation will become even more precarious.

Therefore, they must leave now; only in this way can they save their lives!

"Don't hesitate any longer, go quickly, go quickly! Only when you're gone can your Pops rest easy," Fanxin shouted.

Under Fanxin's rebuke, the crew members boarded the ship and sailed off into the distance.

The warships wanted to give chase, but were stopped by the Bingfeng. The Bingfeng Bingfeng the sea around the warships, preventing them from advancing.

A dozen minutes later, many people left by boat, leaving only the captains and those of similar rank. They didn't want to leave; they wanted to see their Pops off one last time. They all understood that their Pops's days were numbered.

When Pops was in the New World, he needed IV drips every day. Even then, his body was already failing, and he was just barely holding on. Now, Pops has been seriously injured here, and his bodily functions are practically dead.

Now, even if a god descended to earth, he might not be able to bring him back.

They knew why their Pops had left behind; he knew he wasn't going to survive and wanted to give them one last helping hand so they could return to the New World.

These team leaders had been with their Pops the longest and had the closest relationship with Pops. They wanted to send Pops off on his final journey as a token of their respect.

"Please accept my condolences." Fanxin walked up to Marco and said.

Whitebeard's death is a foregone conclusion, and no one can change it. However, this is a huge blow to the Whitebeard Pirates and their commanders.

If they cannot recover from their injuries, they may never amount to anything again. However, if they do recover, they will be able to rise again.

"Thank you," Marco said.

"Hehe, I was just helping Ace. Besides, I've already received the interest, so you don't need to thank me," Fanxin said.

Whitebeard gave him a part of his soul; that was his reward. Although Whitebeard wouldn't admit it, that's what he thought.

His relationship with Whitebeard was nothing more than a transaction; they had absolutely no reason to be grateful to him.

"Regardless, we owe you all a great debt this time. Otherwise, who knows how many more brothers would have died," Marco said. Fanxin had repeatedly helped and rescued his brothers; this debt of gratitude was very deep.

"Hehe, alright, that's enough. I should be going now. Take care of yourselves," Fanxin said. He wasn't planning to stay any longer. Once Whitebeard and Blackbeard had settled their score, the Navy would definitely come to deal with them. He had to leave; only then could he feel at ease.

"Okay." Marco nodded. The other captains also nodded.

After speaking, Fanxin didn't hesitate any longer and headed towards the sea.

Their Flight Armor ran out of fuel and couldn't fly. So, they had no choice but to leave on foot.

The Bingfeng created an ice path, and they followed it forward, preparing to reach its end.

He had thought he could leave easily, but to Fanxin dismay, the Three Admirals of the Navy appeared and blocked his way.

Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu all arrived, two behind him and one in front.

They are trapped in the middle of the triangle.

"What should we do?" the Little Fox asked with a serious expression.

The Three Admirals blocking their way greatly increased the pressure on them; if they failed to stop them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"We have no choice but to fight them head-on," Fanxin shouted.

With the Three Admirals arriving, they certainly won't let him go easily. Therefore, if he wants to escape, he'll have to fight with all his might.

"But you're injured! Your fighting power has dropped drastically, and you can't unleash your peak fighting strength at all," the Little Fox said.

"But there's really no other way!" Fanxin said helplessly.

Hearing this, the Little Fox didn't know what to say. Now, they were isolated and helpless, trapped here by the Three Admirals. They could only rely on their own efforts to break through the encirclement and escape.

"You all get ready! I'll talk to them and buy some time," Fanxin said.

Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.

Fanxin stepped forward, looked at the Three Admirals, and said, "Oh ho, you're so reluctant to part with me! Don't be so eager, I'll come again in the future."

"Hmph, this time, you won't escape. We won't give you that chance again." Kizaru snorted and said, "Of course, if you call out Straw Hat Boy, I might spare your life."

"That won't do. You spare my life, but they won't! In the end, I'll still die. Since that's the case, then I'm not doing this deal." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

"In that case, you'll be attacked by Three Admirals. If you agree, you'll only be attacked by two Admiral. That's a big difference," Kizaru chuckled and said.

He was forcing Fanxin to agree. He only wanted Straw Hat Boy so he could explain himself to the Celestial Dragons and they wouldn't bother him anymore.

"Since we're going to die anyway, there's no need to think about it," Fanxin said, immediately shaking his head.

"In that case, there's no need for us to talk anymore," Kizaru said coldly. With that, he activated his power and prepared to launch an attack.

"Wait," Fanxin Xin immediately called out.

"Is there anything you haven't said before? Go ahead! I'll give you time," Kizaru said calmly.

Fanxin is currently surrounded by the Three Admirals, and escape is impossible. Therefore, he is not worried about Fanxin causing trouble.

"Let me tell you a secret: you should go and deal with Blackbeard now, or disaster will befall you," Fanxin said.

He planned to reveal Blackbeard's secret, hoping it would persuade the Admiral to leave. He hadn't told them before because the news was too shocking, and few would believe it. He also didn't want to waste his breath. Therefore, he only told Whitebeard.

Whitebeard explained, he finally believed it.

"Why?" Aokiji asked curiously.

"Because Blackbeard wants to steal Whitebeard's power. Blackbeard already has the strongest Logia Dark Fruit, and now he's about to get another fruit with immense Destruction power. With one hand devouring and the other Destruction, he'll become a super monster. He's much more troublesome than me."

Fanxin said, "Although I'm troublesome, I'm not bloodthirsty. I just have a problem with certain people. That's why I took action. Blackbeard, on the other hand, is different. He's arrogant and ruthless. This time, he's caused the deaths of tens of thousands of marines and pirates. Once he masters the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, few will be able to stop his advance. You're marines; you'll be the first to suffer then."

Pirate crews can avoid Blackbeard because they're no match for him! They won't feel ashamed to run away. But the Marines can't. They carry the burden of justice! Even though there are many seemingly respectable people among them, they must face Blackbeard head-on.

If Blackbeard gains powerful abilities, it will be even more difficult for them to deal with him.

Now is the time to deal with Blackbeard. If they unite and attack Blackbeard together, they will surely succeed.

"Hmph, only one demon can exist within a person. If someone tries to devour two demons at the same time, they'll explode and die." Kizaru scoffed, expressing his disbelief. He completely dismissed the idea, having witnessed such examples firsthand. Those who ate two Devil Fruit never met a good end; they all exploded, their bodies shattered and never to return—a truly terrifying prospect.

Aokiji looked at Fanxin and said, "Where do you get your basis for this?"

He didn't completely deny it, because anything is possible. Just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean it won't happen now.

Although his claim of Fanxin is absurd, Blackbeard actually succeeded. Therefore, his words are no longer absurd.

"Blackbeard's power has a devouring function, like a bottomless pit. He can render a Devil Fruit user unable to use their power, turning them from a Devil Fruit user into an ordinary person. That's how Fire Fist Ace was defeated by him," Fanxin said. "Furthermore, why would Blackbeard devise such a scheme? Was it merely for revenge? No, it was to gain power."

"He took advantage of your battle to leave here and head straight for Impel Down. Look, he has several men with him who he brought from Impel Down. Those are the evil criminals imprisoned on Level 6! With them, Blackbeard's Blackbeard Pirates will definitely see a huge increase in strength."

"However, he wasn't satisfied with that. He not only wanted to make his pirate crew stronger, but he also wanted to gain power for himself. Where would that power come from? Naturally, from Devil Fruit. He had been by Whitebeard's side for decades, witnessed Whitebeard's battles, and knew the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. Therefore, he planned to steal Whitebeard's power."

"Heh, you've all been used by him. He used you to attack Whitebeard, severely injuring Whitebeard. This gave him an opportunity. Now, all he needs to do is kill Whitebeard and seize his power. At that point, it will be impossible for you to stop him."

"Therefore, your best course of action is now. Otherwise, you will miss the best opportunity."

"Perhaps! However, we think you are a greater threat because you have devoured the souls of Whitebeard, Blackbeard, and even Ace. You can use those abilities as well. Am I right?" Akainu said coldly.
