A Lesson (3)

Ren Fang and Xiao Ning started fighting, and it was a very heated fight.

However, Fanxin and Akainu did not immediately launch an attack.

"Tell me, why did you attack my family back then?" Fanxin looked at Akainu and asked, puzzled, "My family isn't a pirate family; it's just a reclusive family. Why did you have to harm us like that?"

If his family were pirates, he would have no complaints. But the other party is a Marine, and his family is a pirate—it's a relative situation! Marines killing pirates is only natural.

However, what angered him was that his family wasn't pirates! Yet these guys still attacked him; he couldn't accept it.

"Hmph, your family possesses special abilities, which is a mistake in itself. The Navy once recruited your family, but they declined," Akainu said.

"So, you're going to take action and deal with them?" Fanxin asked upon hearing this.

"That's right. What we can't have, we absolutely can't let others have either. Otherwise, they'll use your abilities against the Navy. So, just in case, we had no choice but to take action and wipe out the Soul Clan," Akainu said.

"Hmph, a fabricated charge, very good indeed." Fanxin sneered and said, "The one who gave the final order was Celestial Dragons, wasn't he!"

Although he had already guessed it, he still wanted to hear it from the other person himself.

"That's right, the final order came from the Five Elders, the Supreme Commanders of the World Government." Akainu nodded and said, "They are the Celestial Dragons."

"Hmph, you're all his lackeys, aren't I right!" Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

"Say what you will, I was just following orders. And I don't think there was anything wrong with those orders; nipping danger in the bud is the best course of action," Akainu said calmly.

"Hmph, you really are a madman, talking about justice. You're just a bloodthirsty maniac." Fanxin snorted and said, "Alright, enough talk, let's have a serious fight! Saying too much now is pointless."

His family had been destroyed, and no amount of talking could bring them back. So, he didn't want to say anything more. They had already guessed the general outline of the matter and knew that the true mastermind behind it all was the Celestial Dragons. Akainu was merely a tool in the Celestial Dragons' hands.

Ultimately, he still had to deal with the Celestial Dragons. However, now he had to face Akainu.

"That's exactly what I was thinking too," Akainu nodded and said.

"Alright, let's go!" Fanxin shouted. Without further hesitation, he drew his twin swords and began attacking Akainu.

Akainu also rushed forward and engaged Fanxin in battle.

Fanxin Xin wrapped his Haki around his twin swords, so that he could hit Akainu. Akainu was Logia, and apart from Seastone and Haki, nothing else could hit him.

Once you attack, he immediately transforms into elements, leaving you completely helpless.

Therefore, he had no Haki but to use Akainu to attack Akainu.

The two fought to the death there, showing no sign of backing down.

Fanxin didn't flinch at all; he went straight for the kill. He didn't care about his opponent's intentions; he was determined to teach him a lesson today.

Akainu also exerted all his power; Fanxin was no ordinary person, so he couldn't be careless.

"Fanxin, do you need my help?" Just as Fanxin and Akainu were locked in a fierce battle, the Little Fox suddenly appeared, perched on Fanxin's shoulder, and asked.

Its strength is considerable; having merged with Fanxin, it could easily hold off Akainu.

The appearance of the Little Fox caused Akainu's expression to change slightly; this guy was a very troublesome opponent. And now that he was so close to Fanxin, if the fox were to launch a sneak attack, he might be at a disadvantage.

However, he didn't say much. As Marine Admiral, he had no reason to back down.

If he were to step down, he would be unworthy of being Marine Admiral.

"Not for now. You look after Ren Fang and the others for me. If anything happens, act immediately to rescue them, understand?" Fanxin said. He wanted to teach Akainu a lesson himself; that guy was too despicable.

"Okay, don't worry!" The Little Fox nodded, indicating that it understood.

Seeing that the Little Fox agreed, Fanxin breathed a sigh of relief. Then, without further ado, he began his fierce attack on Akainu.

Although the Little Fox said it wouldn't intervene, Akainu dared not let his guard down, because Fanxin and the Little Fox were pirates! He wouldn't be surprised if the Navy did anything despicable. If the two of them suddenly joined forces to attack him, and she wasn't prepared, that would be troublesome.

Therefore, even if the Little Fox doesn't make a move, he still needs to keep an eye on it to prevent it from suddenly Little Fox.

"Hell Hound!" Akainu knew he had to go all out. Otherwise, Fanxin would escape again. So, he unleashed his ultimate technique, Hell Hound.

He created a giant lava wolf from the lava and began attacking Fanxin.

The giant red wolf was terrifying. It swung its enormous claws and began to attack Fanxin. Compared to it, Fan Fanxin was tiny; a single claw could cover his entire body.

"Hmph, these things are useless against me." Fanxin snorted and immediately retreated more than ten steps. Once in a safe area, Fanxin no longer hesitated and unleashed a huge sword aura, directly slashing at the giant red wolf.

The sword energy quickly collided with the giant red wolf.

Soon, the giant wolf's upper body was cut off, and its entire body was split in two.

Undeterred, Akainu continued to create giant red wolves.

He knew these giant wolves couldn't threaten Fanxin, but they could influence Fanxin. If Fanxin was distracted, he would have a way to deal with them.

His method was indeed effective; Fanxin was indeed affected. However, the effect was not significant, because Fanxin's reaction ability was extremely strong.

"Akainu, it's useless. These things can't affect me at all," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

"Hmph, but you can't avoid this either, just attack me directly!" Akainu said with a laugh.

"Is that so? Then let me show you whether I can or can't!" Fanxin scoffed.

Upon hearing this, Akainu replied dismissively, "Oh, you have some new trick up your sleeve, don't you?"

"Of course, I got a lot of good stuff in Marineford," Fanxin said. "Ace's abilities, Blackbeard's abilities, Whitebeard's abilities—they're incredibly powerful!"

"I've already integrated it into my body. Now, I can use it easily whenever I want. Would you like to relive those abilities?"

After devouring the souls of those three people, he nurtured them in the Soul Tower for over twenty days. Now, those souls have grown stronger, and he can use them in battle.

Although they cannot be used for extended periods, he can still manage them for short periods.

"The Soul Clan is indeed in trouble." Upon hearing this, Akainu's expression changed slightly, and he said.

The Soul Clan can devour the souls and power of others for their own use. Although he cannot unleash the full potential of another's abilities, he can certainly utilize them to a certain extent.

Furthermore, if the Soul Clan were to go berserk and devour souls indiscriminately, they could create a super monster.

That monster's fighting power is terrifying.

This is also why the Celestial Dragons are taking action against the Soul Clan. Although the Soul Clan dislikes fighting, their potential is terrifying, and if it is exploited, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Heh, we wouldn't have been enemies originally. But you were too despicable, wiping out the Soul Clan without any evidence or proof. Now, we can only become mortal enemies," Fanxin said with a light snort.

"Enough talk, let's see how much power you can muster," Akainu said with a snort.

He didn't want to say anything more; things had come to this point, and there was no point in saying anything more. Back then, he had wanted to kill Fanxin. However, Fanxin was too resilient; he chased him from south to north, from east to west, but still couldn't kill Fanxin.

From that moment on, he understood that a great scourge had survived.

As long as this child lives, once he learns everything, he will definitely seek revenge.

For the past ten years or so, he had spent every spare moment searching. However, Fanxin had completely vanished without a trace, and he didn't know where she was hiding. Helpless, he could only search slowly.

He originally thought that Fanxin would never reappear, but they did in the end. Although he was frustrated, there was nothing he could do about it.

"Come on," Fanxin shouted.

With that, he unleashed Whitebeard's earthquake ability, delivering a powerful punch to Akainu. Moments later, cracks appeared all around Akainu, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Akainu was extremely stubborn and refused to admit defeat. He unleashed Meteor Volcano, countless magma fists shooting out from his body and striking Fanxin.

Finally, his attack collided with Fanxin's attack. This attack was mainly to defend against Fanxin's attack. A large part of Fanxin's attack was neutralized by Akainu's Meteor Volcano.

Left with no other choice, Fanxin had to launch another attack. However, Akainu was not to be outdone, launching wave after wave of attacks, showing no intention of letting Fanxin give in.

Both sides launched devastating attacks, causing the area to erupt in chaos, completely collapsing and the ironwood forest vanishing. Moreover, the commotion affected the entire island. The civilians who had been fighting ceased their struggle and watched. Some, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire, fled to the sea.

There was no way around it; the attack power was simply too astonishing, something an ordinary person couldn't withstand!
