Leaving (1)

"No, he can't leave. He's a menace; he'll cause endless trouble later," Kizaru stepped forward and said.

He actually wanted Straw Hat Boy because he needed to explain himself to the Celestial Dragons! If he couldn't catch Straw Hat Boy, the Celestial Dragons would definitely drive him crazy.

"No, I must take him away today." Red-Haired Shanks shook his head and said.

His face was extremely cold and stern. Without the slightest hesitation, he stared straight at Kizaru, giving him an expression that said, "Come and take it if you dare."

Kizaru's expression was grim, because he could see from Red Hair' eyes that he would never give up on this Fanxin. If he pressed his advantage, Shanks would definitely go all out in the fight.

"Then let's have a fight! Whether he stays or leaves will be decided by the victor," Akainu shouted. He unleashed magma, ready for battle.

"I think that works too," Kizaru nodded in agreement.

Aokiji and Fleet Admiral Sengoku remained silent, seemingly weighing the pros and cons, the gains and losses.

"Hey, I'm not a commodity, don't bet on me," Fanxin said. "I've decided to leave, so stop dawdling."

"Kid, do you think you have the right to decide your own fate?" Kizaru said coldly, "Now that we're all free, we can target you alone. Do you think you can escape?"

Previously, they were targeting Blackbeard and the commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates. Therefore, they could only observe and fight as they went.

Now, they only need to target Fanxin, and they feel no pressure at all.

"Hmph, don't think that just because you're Admiral you can control my life and death. Killing me won't be easy for you." Fanxin snorted and said, "I'm not going to waste any more words with you. I'm leaving now. Goodbye."

Fanxin finished speaking, he immediately ran off into the distance. He was incredibly fast; most people couldn't keep up with him.

Seeing that Fanxin was about to escape, Kizaru immediately transformed into light and prepared to give chase. However, at that moment, a long-haired man with a cigarette dangling from his mouth pointed a gun at Kizaru's head and shouted, "Kizaru, don't move, or I'll blow your head off!"

This man is a highly skilled member of the Red Hair Pirates, Red Hair's right-hand man. His strength is comparable to that of Admiral, so if Kizaru makes any rash moves, he could easily injure Kizaru.

Kizaru was about to give chase, but then he suddenly stopped. He looked at the man, his face somewhat grim, and said, "Benn Beckman, are you trying to implicate me?"

Benn Beckman chuckled and said, "This is our captain's order. We're taking that kid away. If you get in the way, I'll have to kill you. If you behave yourself, we'll pretend we didn't see anything."

He was domineering, completely unconcerned about Admiral Kizaru's threat. The reason he was so domineering was because he possessed formidable strength himself! He could now fight Admiral Kizaru. Therefore, he had no reason to be afraid.

"Hmph, very domineering. But I don't care." Kizaru snorted and prepared to give chase. Benn Beckman also released the safety on his gun, ready to attack at any moment.

"Alright, Kizaru, let Fanxin leave!" Just when it seemed a battle was about to break out, Fleet Admiral Sengoku suddenly called a halt. He was going to let Fanxin leave.

"Fleet Admiral, that Fanxin is a menace! Why did you let him go?" Upon hearing this, Kizaru stopped his attack. However, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed puzzled.

"We can't catch that kid. He's a member of the Soul Clan, and his soul can be divided into countless parts. Even if you manage to find a few parts, so what? He still didn't die in the end." Fleet Admiral Sengoku Guo said helplessly, "Even if Soul Clan is killed, they can still exist in a soul state. Therefore, it's impossible for us to completely eradicate him if we go after him."

He knew better than anyone how terrifying the Soul Clan was, because he had learned of their terror from the Five Elders.

Before the Soul Clan rose to power, they were simply a race slightly stronger than ordinary people. However, if the Soul Clan were to fully rise to prominence, they would become a terrifying monstrous race.

More than a decade ago, the Soul Clan was not powerful. They attacked them. However, they still failed to exterminate the Soul Clan, leaving behind a major threat.

Now that this major threat has grown, eliminating him will be no easy task.

Fanxin is a king, which is very difficult to kill. In addition, he possesses the Soul Clan Secret Technique, making it even more difficult for them to kill him.

Therefore, if they pursue him now, even if they manage to severely injure him, it will be futile. They cannot completely eradicate his Fanxin. Injuring him will be of little use; it will only make him resent them more.

Furthermore, with Red Hair protecting him now, their chances of success are even lower.

Therefore, he decided to let go of his Fanxin.

"This..." Kizaru thought about it carefully and agreed. However, with Fanxin right in front of him, he was truly unwilling to give up just like that.

"Alright, let's leave it at that!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku looked at Red Hair and said, "You take the pirates and leave!"

After saying this, the Fleet Admiral Sengoku went to help the wounded soldiers.

Although the Three Admirals were somewhat frustrated, the Fleet Admiral Sengoku had already given the order, so they had no choice but to give up.

"Thank you." Red Hair nodded, then led everyone away from there, heading towards the ship.

The White-Haired Pirates didn't linger. They carried their Pops's body and quickly left, heading into the distance.

Once aboard, all the pirate ships headed out to sea.

Fanxin sat on the Red Hair's boat.

Soon, the ship was far away from Marineford and headed towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Marco, you can have Ace's body!" Fanxin beckoned to Marco, signaling him to come and take Ace's body away.

Marco immediately transformed into Phoenix, flew over, and landed on the Red Hair Pirates' ship.

Without hesitation, Fanxin immediately took Ace's body out of the small world and placed it on the deck.

By this time, Ace's body was already stiff, completely rigid. This indicated that he had been dead for some time.

"Take Ace's body with you! As for Straw Hat Boy, leave him to me!" Fanxin said.

"Well, how is his injury?" Marco asked.

Earlier, at that time, he saw that the Straw Hat Boy had completely lost consciousness, which was the result of a tremendous shock.

Clearly, Ace's death has had a significant impact on him. Whether he can recover is hard to say.

"His physical injuries have been treated, but the pain in his heart won't be so easy to heal. But don't worry, with me here, he won't give up," Fanxin said.

After suffering such a huge blow, most people would become despondent, because they feel useless and unable to even save their older brother. Therefore, they would slowly succumb to despair.

However, Fanxin wouldn't let Straw Hat Boy become so dejected. Because Straw Hat Boy is a king! It would be such a pity for a future king to become so dejected.

He needs an ally when he goes to the New World. Forming an alliance with a king would be a powerful combination. Therefore, he will not let the Straw Hat Boy get by no matter what.

"That's good." Marco nodded and said.

Without further hesitation, he took Ace and returned to his ship.

"Shanks, I heard you're friends with Luffy, is that right?" Fanxin asked, looking at the Red-Haired Shanks standing to the side.

"Yes, is he alright now?" Shanks asked.

"It's bad. His physical condition is poor, and his mental state is also poor. It will probably take him a year or two to recover," Fanxin said. "I'm planning to take him away from here. Do you want to see him one last time?"

Shanks and Luffy are friends, and he feels they should support each other.

"No, I have an agreement with him, and it hasn't been fulfilled yet, so it's not appropriate for us to meet for the time being." Shanks looked at Fanxin and said, "Since you're friends with him, I'll entrust Luffy to you."

"Very well." Fanxin nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Hehe, just you wait, Shanks. It won't be long before we arrive in the New World. Wipe your necks clean, my blade won't hold back."

To gain a foothold in the New World, he must face the combined might of the Four Emperors. Shanks is one of the Four Emperors; only by defeating him can he secure a place in the New World.

Therefore, if he were to encounter Shanks in the future, he would show no mercy. He would fight with all his might to defeat, or even kill, Shanks.

"Hehe, alright, I'll be waiting," Shanks said with a laugh.

"Alright, it's a deal." Fanxin nodded and said.

"Alright, enough with the chit-chat, I'm off." Fanxin bowed, then without further hesitation, he jumped off the boat and into the sea.

Everyone was very puzzled as to why Fanxin would swim instead of taking a boat, since swimming is very tiring.

However, the next moment, they stopped talking about sleeping. They sensed that Fanxin was swimming extremely fast in the water. In an instant, he was far away.

"Boss, you've made a formidable enemy. You'll be in big trouble later," Benn Beckman chuckled.

Fanxin possesses Conqueror's Haki, and they had previously seen in the footage that Fanxin could fight against Admiral. This indicates that his strength has increased significantly.

If Fanxin continues to cultivate diligently for a while, his strength might rival that of Admiral.

Although the leader is stronger than the Admiral, Fanxin is no small fry either!

If two kings fight, it can be deadly.

"Heh, I'll be waiting. This era belongs to the young. If he defeats me, then I'll simply withdraw. However, I'm not so easily defeated," Shanks said with a calm smile.

He was extremely confident in his abilities. He hadn't even backed down a step when facing Whitebeard. How much less would Fanxin be just a newcomer?

"That's good that you're prepared." Benn Beckman nodded and said, "Let's go too. We've been away from the New World for too long; that bastard Kaido might cause trouble."

Kaido of the Beasts is also one of the Four Emperors. His strength should not be underestimated. He saw that Whitebeard was coming to rescue Ace and took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Whitebeard's territory. However, he was ultimately stopped by them.

Kaido is a madman. They've targeted him, and he'll definitely retaliate. So, they have to go back; only then will their territory be safe.

Otherwise, Kaido definitely cause chaos and turn the world upside down in their territory.

"That's true. Let's all put in a good effort and get back as soon as possible!" Shanks nodded slightly and said.

After that, everyone stopped talking and immediately headed towards Sabaody.

Upon arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago, they immediately hired a coating expert to begin coating the ship. At the same time, they also sent their men to purchase food and replenish the ship's supplies.

After the coating technicians finished applying the coating, they didn't rest; they immediately set sail for New World.

Soon after, they sank into the sea and sailed towards New World.

On the side of Fanxin.

After entering the seabed, the Fanxin continued its journey, heading towards the distance.

After wandering for a long time, Fanxin noticed something following him. He immediately turned around and saw a very long and large snake following him; it was a Culverin with patterned skin.

It stared silently at him, and as he walked a certain distance, the other followed for a certain distance. However, the other simply wouldn't approach him.

"This snake looks familiar... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before." After thinking for a while, Fanxin said, "Oh, right, I remember now, this is Shichibukai Boa Hancock's pet, the Pirate Empress who holds the title of Shichibukai. But why is it following me?"

He saw Hancock during his battle with the Shichibukai. That woman was indeed a great beauty, radiating boundless charm. If you harbored evil thoughts, you would be unable to withstand her allure and would turn to stone in an instant.

However, his Fanxin remained unaffected. Because he himself was a diamond, and his heart was also made of diamond. Therefore, her charm had no effect on him.

"It's following me, it must be doing something." Fanxin pondered for a moment, then stopped. He then beckoned the snake over.

However, the snake was cautious, only watching from a distance and refusing to come closer, as if it was worried that he would kill it.

Fanxin looked on helplessly. After a moment of contemplation, he immediately surfaced.

The snake must have been acting on Hancock's orders to come looking for him. Hancock was human, and couldn't possibly exist underwater for long. Therefore, he figured the snake must have been following him from not far out at sea.

He can see the other person as soon as he comes out of the sea.
