Passing It On (3)

They themselves were all wronged, but here, the law is practically nonexistent; it's all decided by the powerful and wealthy. If the powerful and wealthy say you must die, then you must die; the law has no power to restrain them.

They've all suffered; if Ren Fang and the others meddle in their affairs, they probably won't fare any better.

"Hehe, don't worry, you'll be fine, and we'll be even fine. Come on, eat!" Ren Fang chuckled and said dismissively.

Her strength is comparable to Rear Admiral of Vice Admiral, while Fanxin's strength surpasses that of a lieutenant general and is approaching that of Admiral. How can ordinary people compare to them? Unless the powerful and influential people here are all Admiral- level experts, they simply have no way to deal with them.

Even if they mobilized a massive army, it would be useless against them. Because Fanxin possesses Conqueror's Haki's Haki; he could wipe out most of them with a single attack.

Therefore, they are not worried about any retaliation; such retaliation has no effect on them.

"You guys..." The bearded man was at a loss for words when he saw Ren Fang's calm expression.

"Hehe, don't worry! We even dare to fight Marine Admiral, so we don't care about these powerful figures." Seeing that the other party still wouldn't eat, Ren Fang had no choice but to use her trump card.

She did this to put these people at ease. They were worried and dared not make any moves. Therefore, she had to reassure them.

"Marine Admiral? You've fought Marine Admiral?" The bearded man was stunned upon hearing this.

"That's right. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this." Seeing that the other party was still skeptical, Ren Fang immediately took out a newspaper from a few days ago, opened it, and showed it to everyone.

What she showed these people was Fanxin's battle against the Three Admirals. Fanxin had fought against them all, which was enough to prove that Fanxin's strength was not weak.

The so-called criminals' eyes widened when they saw the picture in the newspaper and compared it to Fanxin's appearance. They were immediately shocked.

"You... you guys are pirates?" the bearded man said in terror.

The others also retreated, fearing that Fanxin would kill them.

"Hehe, not bad, we are pirates. But we're not bad people," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Aren't pirates all bad?" a young man in his twenties said.

"Hmph, that's just your one-sided view. Some pirates are actually good," Fanxin said. "However, the navy you think it is might not be so good either. The fact that you're locked up here proves that, doesn't it?"

These powerful figures were all appointed by the government; otherwise, where would their power come from? However, after obtaining power, these guys did not do good deeds but instead oppressed the common people, exploiting and oppressing the locals. They are truly hateful.

Before he arrived, countless people here had been humiliated, tortured, and died. These were all the good deeds of those in power.

"This..." Upon hearing this, the boy opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

The rest of the people lowered their heads, speechless.

"Everything has two sides. There are indeed bad pirates. However, some pirates aren't bad. You can't generalize; that won't work," Fanxin said. "Alright, let's eat! If you're hungry, then you should eat. You're going to make trouble for me, but you shouldn't make trouble for food!"

Upon hearing this, everyone took the food and began to eat. They were indeed hungry; they had been locked up here for several days without water or food, and would have died long ago if they hadn't had strong willpower.

They were able to persevere because of their strong will to never give up.

Seeing that these people were willing to accept food, Fanxin finally breathed a sigh of relief. If these guys hadn't eaten much, he would have been in real trouble.

While they were eating, Fanxin used a knife to cut all the chains, freeing them.

"What should we do about Fanxin? What we're doing now is just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. We must address the problem at its source to solve everything," Ren Fang said.

They rescued these people, but if they left, they might be arrested again. That would be a real problem. In that case, their rescue would have been pointless.

However, if they solve the problem at its source, these ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment.

"That's true. It seems we have to go and meet these so-called powerful people. Damn it, they're not satisfied with just eating their own fill, they have to torment others too. They're such bastards." Fanxin nodded and said unhappily.

"Alright, Xiao Ning and I will stay here and keep watch. You go and handle it." Ren Fang nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said.

This place needs someone to guard it; otherwise, once they leave, someone will come and cause trouble for these people. This could lead to their deaths, as they have already been tortured terribly and are extremely weak. Although they have eaten, the food hasn't been digested or absorbed into their bodies immediately.

"Alright, be careful here." Fanxin Xin nodded slightly and said.

He agreed with her reasoning, so he didn't object. After saying that, he immediately left and headed off into the distance.

Ren Fang and Xiao Ning stood guard here to prevent any sneak attacks.

Fanxin continued on his way, he saw many men in suits. Fanxin sensed that these men were no ordinary individuals.

He was observing others, and others were observing him in return.

The moment those people saw Fanxin, their expressions changed slightly. In the end, they all lowered their heads and no longer looked at Fanxin.

Fanxin glanced at it but ignored it. Then, he headed straight for the island's organization.

That was his target; he couldn't care less about the others. He was certain these people were government officials, though he didn't know what they were doing there. However, Fanxin felt these guys were definitely up to no good.

He didn't take action against these guys because there were just too many of them. You could kill one group, and another would take their place. You simply couldn't eliminate them all.

"Sigh, even if I deal with these powerful and influential people, I'm afraid it won't be long before things return to normal. Unless the common people become stronger, it's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause," Fanxin said helplessly.

This is government-controlled territory. He drove away all these powerful figures, and the government will definitely send troops back to regain control.

If that powerful figure remains the same, the ordinary people here will still suffer.

He was somewhat frustrated and didn't know what to do. However, he was too lazy to care anymore; there were too many injustices in the world, and you couldn't possibly manage them all.

He was alone and couldn't be in two places at once. So, he could only watch helplessly.

"I hope people will become smarter in the future! Being too honest will only lead to being bullied," Fanxin said.

If these ordinary people stand firm, these powerful figures won't be able to act so arrogantly, because they're also worried about causing trouble. If they push too hard and the people rebel, then it will be impossible for them to stay here any longer.

As a result, he had to compromise to achieve his performance targets. The common people would also benefit from this.

After thinking for a long time, Fanxin stopped dwelling on it. He continued walking, and when he arrived at the institution, he went straight inside without saying a word.

"Stop! This is a government building. You have no right to come in." A man in a police uniform blocked Fanxin's path, holding a baton high as if he were about to strike at any moment.

"Get out of the way, I need to go inside," Fanxin snapped impatiently.

"This is a government building, you..." The goalkeeper was about to retort, but at that moment, he suddenly felt a chill run through his body, and instantly lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground, unable to move any further.

The reason for this is that Fanxin used his Haki! These are just small fry; he doesn't want to waste any more time. He's looking for a big fish, not a small one.

Therefore, he had no choice but to use his Haki to quickly resolve the situation, so that he wouldn't have to waste much effort.

After dealing with the other party, he went straight inside.

However, getting in was extremely difficult for him. Although he had used his Haki to knock down a goalkeeper, there were still many guards inside. As soon as he stepped inside, more than a dozen guards jumped out and blocked his way, preventing him from entering.

"Fanxin? Captain of the Heavenly Soul Pirates?" Those people looked at Fanxin Xin with surprise and asked, "Why are you here? What is your purpose?"

Fanxin caused a huge scene at Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, and rescued Straw Hat Boy. He's become a super celebrity now. Who doesn't know him?

These government officials had also read the newspapers and knew about the existence of Fanxin.

They were somewhat nervous because Fanxin Xin dared to fight Admiral; he was definitely a formidable figure. Dealing with him would be extremely difficult.

"I've come here to demand an explanation. Why are these innocent civilians being imprisoned?" Fanxin said. "If you can't answer that, then let the administrators here come out and speak to me face to face."

"Oh, you mean those people on the roadside? They've all committed crimes, and this is their punishment from above," said a tall man in black.

"But I heard a different version. People say they're innocent, that you people are abusing your power and being arrogant," Fanxin chuckled and said.

"Hmph, that's just their excuse. They committed a crime and don't want to be punished," said the tall man in black.

"Is that so? But I don't trust you." Fanxin said, "I know your true colors better than anyone. Hmph, you think I don't know how you prey on the people here?"

These people appear to be gentlemen, but they are extremely vicious behind the scenes. They have poisoned and tormented countless innocent people here. If you are deceived by their appearance, they will continue to do so.

They believe they can completely deceive others in this way, and no one will be able to detect it.

However, Fanxin was well aware of the darkness involved. Therefore, he would not easily believe it, because he had seen too much darkness himself.

"Alright, we admit it, we did it on purpose. But that's our business, it doesn't seem to concern you, does it? You're a pirate, you should be doing what you're supposed to do, not causing trouble here, understand? So, I advise you, you'd better leave, otherwise, you'll be in trouble," the man in black said.

Although he said that, cold sweat was beading on his forehead. He was clearly putting on a brave front, because Fanxin was a pirate, and he wouldn't take orders from others.

More importantly, Fanxin is a tyrant, so he cares even less about what others think. He will solve problems in his own way.

"Hmph, what can you do if I don't leave?" Fanxin snorted and said.

"We already know you're here. We've already notified the Navy, and they'll be here soon. Heh, you can still leave now. If you don't leave now and insist on lingering here, you'll definitely be caught by the Navy. Then you'll be in trouble," the man in black said.

From the moment they saw Fanxin appear on the island, they secretly contacted the Navy. They were no match for them, but the Navy was confident they could handle them.

Because there are many skilled fighters in the navy. They are fully capable of dealing with Fanxin and his group.

"Oh, really? Thank you very much then. I was just about to look for them," Fanxin said calmly.

He was looking for someone to fight, and his open wandering around was precisely to find an opponent to spar with. He didn't care whether the opponent was a Marine, a pirate, or even a lone wolf.

Now that the navy is coming, he is naturally excited. This way, he can take action and fight the navy.

He believed that the navy, aware of his strength, would inevitably send a formidable opponent. Otherwise, they simply wouldn't be able to take him down.

"You... you're not afraid?" the men in black asked, stunned.

They said it to scare Fanxin away. Now, Fanxin shows no sign of running away, which frustrates them greatly. As a result, they are about to have a major battle with Fanxin.

However, they were no match for them! They could easily imagine what fate awaited them.

"Afraid? Heh, what am I afraid of? It's not like I haven't fought against Admiral before. At most, they'll send one Admiral this time. It's no big deal for me." Fanxin Xin smiled calmly and said.

Although the Admiral was formidable, his strength was not to be underestimated. It was impossible for the Admiral to kill him easily. Therefore, he had no need to worry.

Admiral, he'll fight him to the death. If that doesn't work, he can jump into the sea and escape. After all, this island is surrounded by the sea; what is there to be afraid of?
