Super Laser Cannon (3)
Meanwhile, Fanxin and Ren Fang were in the command room, steering the boat towards the distance.
The two of them sat around a round table, eating and drinking leisurely.
The ship continued moving forward step by step.
Three days later, Fanxin Xin wanted to go swimming again. However, several warships were heading this way.
Fanxin, feeling helpless, immediately abandoned the idea. He stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the warships, but he didn't make a move. He didn't want to start a war with the navy.
However, he will not surrender easily if the navy decides to wage war against him.
He watched leisurely as the warship drew ever closer to him.
However, just as his ship was about to collide with the warship, the warship came to a stop.
Fanxin watched with a sense of schadenfreude, wondering what the warship meant.
"Hehe, Fanxin, it really is you." After a while, a hearty laugh came from the ship. The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but Fanxin still couldn't immediately recognize it.
He watched quietly, and only after the other person's figure emerged did he Satori what was happening.
"Oh, it's Vice Admiral Garp. What are you doing here? Did you come to arrest me? Well, let me tell you, if you try to arrest me, you might be in for a world of trouble," Fanxin said with a grin, looking at Vice Admiral Garp.
Vice Admiral Garp before; his hair was completely white, and he had many more wrinkles on his face.
He must be grieving because one of his grandsons died and another is missing.
"I didn't come here today to fight you. Tell me, where is Luffy!" Vice Admiral Garp immediately asked.
He was very worried about his grandson, even though they were on different sides. After all, Straw Hat Luffy was his grandson, and now that he was missing, he naturally had to care.
"Hehe, what are you trying to do? Are you planning to take him back? If so, then I'm sorry, I won't tell you." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.
"I don't want to take him back; I just want to know how he is doing now," Vice Admiral Garp asked.
Ace died, and he was heartbroken for a long time. He believed that Luffy would be devastated, after all, they had grown up together since childhood and were like brothers.
"He's doing very well. His body and mind have fully recovered. Now, he's training his Conqueror's Haki under the guidance of Dark King Rayleigh." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "Dark King Rayleigh is incredibly powerful. Under his tutelage, Luffy will definitely master Conqueror's Haki. Then, a new king will be born."
"Hmm, even that old man Pluton got involved? He's such a busybody." Vice Admiral Garp paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said.
"Tch, at least he's better than your unreliable grandfather, who'd rather watch Ace get killed than lift a finger to save him. You're so cold-blooded," Fanxin said. "Don't talk to me about principles; I don't like hearing that."
If Garp had intervened, Ace would definitely have survived. After all, his strength is comparable to Admiral. If Garp had joined forces with Whitebeard, the Navy would have been in serious trouble.
However, Garp just sat there without making a move, which greatly displeased him. If it were him, he would have already intervened.
"Alas, I had my difficulties too!" Vice Admiral Garp sighed and said, "I owe you a great debt this time; I will remember your kindness."
"Hmph, forget it, I don't want to remember you. What are you doing now? Are you still Vice Admiral?" Fanxin asked curiously.
"No, I've retired and am now in charge of training the younger marines," Garp said. "You don't need to face me anymore; you should be happy."
"Heh, do I need to fear you now? Old man Garp, let me tell you, if you dare to mess with me, I'll make sure you suffer a terrible defeat," Fanxin said viciously.
He's truly fearless now, because he's powerful enough and his escape techniques are incredibly sophisticated. If Garp dares to attack him, he'll definitely make him suffer a great loss.
"Hmph, kid, I may be old, but if I want to deal with you, I can still manage." Vice Admiral Garp snorted and said unhappily.
"In that case, shall we have a fight?" Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.
With that, he picked up his two swords, ready to strike.
Upon hearing this, Garp immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it, no need. I'm not in the mood for that anymore."
He felt exhausted. One of his grandsons was dead and the other injured. He was mentally and physically drained lately, which was why he retired. He didn't want to care about anything anymore; he just wanted to live a peaceful life.
Therefore, he had no interest whatsoever in the challenges posed by Fanxin desires.
"Oh, I see. Then forget it. As for Luffy, you don't need to worry about him. He'll be fine." Fanxin said, "He's in seclusion right now, so don't go see him. Wait until two years later!"
Garp's identity is too sensitive; he dares not take the other person with him. If someone takes the opportunity to follow them, Luffy's hiding place will be exposed.
"Alright, in that case, I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye." Upon hearing this, Garp nodded slightly and immediately ordered the warship to head elsewhere.
He came here to inquire about Luffy's situation. Luffy was taken away by Fanxin, so he knows Luffy's situation best.
Now that he has gotten what he wanted, he has no intention of staying any longer. Although Fanxin is a pirate, the Navy's duty is to target pirates.
However, he had no intention of fighting Fanxin now. Besides, Fanxin was no longer the weakling he once was. If he attacked Fanxin now, he would surely suffer a great loss.
Therefore, after much deliberation, he decided not to harm Fanxin and that leaving like this was the best course of action.
Fanxin didn't pester or fight relentlessly; he let the other person leave. There was no point in keeping the other person occupied if they didn't want to fight.
More importantly, Fanxin himself no longer has the desire to fight, because he has focused most of his attention on cultivating his soul.
Cultivating the soul requires tranquility and cannot be done recklessly. Therefore, he had no choice but to let Garp go.
After Garp's warships left, Fanxin started the ship and continued sailing into the distance.
"Boss, the next place is the Mechanism City, do you want to go? I heard it's extremely dangerous there," the Little Black Cat walked over and asked immediately.
Its robotic brain contains a vast amount of information; all publicly available information is contained within it.
This is especially true for world maps.
It knows this because it has already incorporated the world map into the robot's brain.
"The Mechanism City? What dangers are there there?" Fanxin asked curiously.
"I heard that it's full of traps and mechanical soldiers; ordinary people wouldn't dare to go in," the Little Black Cat said.
"Oh, does no one live there?" Fanxin asked curiously. If people dare not enter, then it must be a machine.
"No, that's not it. I heard it's become a hiding place for criminals. Once they get there, even the navy doesn't want to chase them anymore. However, to prevent them from escaping elsewhere, the navy has deployed quite a few warships to guard the area. Anyone who dares to come out will be shot dead," the Little Black Cat said.
"Oh, even the navy doesn't dare to go in. It must be something special." Fanxin pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go, let's explore the Mechanism City together."
He's traveling around now, and if he comes across a nice place, he'll naturally go there. There might be dangers there, but that won't stop him.
"Okay, but we might encounter the navy! What should we do then?" the Little Black Cat asked.
The Mechanism City is already surrounded by naval warships. If they want to enter the Mechanism City, they will inevitably encounter the navy. At that time, they will either have to retreat quietly or fight the navy.
Now, Fanxin's strategy towards the navy has changed, and it feels that Fanxin must make a decision, otherwise, a battle will inevitably be unavoidable.
"Let's wait and see. If the navy doesn't know what's good for them, then we'll attack them," Fanxin said after a moment's thought.
Although he didn't want to be enemies with the Navy, he wouldn't hold back if the Navy continued to be aggressive. It wasn't a force to be reckoned with.
"Alright then." The Little Black Cat nodded and immediately steered the ship straight towards the Mechanism City.
Fanxin himself sat on the bow of the humanoid ship, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate his soul.
Three days later, Fanxin and the others finally arrived at a place not far from the Mechanism City.
The Mechanism City is actually a huge island with many freely movable mechanisms, said to be relics from ancient times. Many people have tried to solve them, but all have perished inside.
Because of its terrifying nature, no one dared to study it afterward.
However, this place became a hiding place for important criminals. They had no choice; the navy was pursuing them too relentlessly, and they had nowhere to escape. If they were caught, they would face certain death.
Therefore, they had no choice but to run into the Mechanism City.
They might die doing this. But it's a gamble. If things go well, they might survive.
And so it turned out. Although living in the Mechanism City was fraught with danger, some people survived and continued to live there, escaping the clutches of the mechanisms.
Those people were all quite powerful, and the navy was worried that they might take the opportunity to escape and cause trouble elsewhere. Therefore, they specifically dispatched warships to guard the area and be ready to kill anyone trying to escape the Mechanism City.
To ensure this could continue, the navy also built many artificial islands near the Mechanism City, so that the marines could live there and work at the same time.
Five artificial islands surround the Mechanism City, providing comprehensive protection Mechanism City it.
Getting in is easy, but getting out is extremely difficult. The Navy won't let you have your way.
If you want to go in, the navy might not attack you. They'd rather criminals enter this remote place like the Mechanism City than let them go out into the outside world.
Here, it's impossible for criminals to cause any trouble. The Mechanism City is teeming with criminals. The navy won't interfere if criminals fight each other.
But if criminals escape to the outside world, then they have to take action. Because there are ordinary people out there. And once they're out there, it's extremely difficult for them to control them.
Criminals can hide somewhere, and finding them is no easy task.
However, you don't need to worry about that here. Since this area is full of criminals, all you need to do is fire.
So, when criminals come in here, generally speaking, if the marines can hit them, they will attack; if they can't, they will let them in.
"Boss, the guards are very tight, what should we do?" the Little Black Cat asked.
"Hmph, this is no problem for us at all. We can dive now." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "Have the ship dive down immediately and head towards the Mechanism City from the seabed."
His ship could be used like a submarine, which was very convenient. In this way, he could deceive everyone and evade the navy's surveillance.
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." The Little Black Cat nodded, then without further hesitation, it immediately ordered the ship to dive. Once the ship reached the seabed, it then directed it towards the Mechanism City.
As expected, the navy failed to detect anything because they lacked the tools to probe the seabed. Therefore, at this point, they were completely blind.
Several hours later, the ship arrived near the Mechanism City.
"Boss, what should we do now? Should we surface?" the Little Black Cat asked.
"No need, just leave the ship in the deep sea!" Fanxin said. "Go and summon the brothers immediately. Those who want to venture into the Mechanism City can enter my Diamond Space. At the same time, tell them that the Mechanism City is extremely dangerous, and they could very well lose their lives. If they want to go, then they can go; if they don't want to go, I won't force them."
Although he is strong, he cannot protect everyone. If a large number of people go this time, it will be even more difficult for him to take care of everyone.
Therefore, he hopes everyone can be self-disciplined and take this adventure seriously.
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." Nodding, the Little Black Cat didn't hesitate any longer and immediately went to inform everyone.
Soon, everyone came over. Fanxin repeated what she had to say, and then let everyone make a choice.
After a long period of deliberation, more than a dozen people immediately stepped forward, ready to go on the adventure with Fanxin.
"Very good, everything on the ship is now in Qiangwei's hands. You take good care of everything." Fanxin nodded and said with a smile.
