The Marines Arrive (2)

"I understand." Fanxin nodded, and then he immediately put all the Diamond Beast into the Diamond Space.

He sensed danger from that weapon, and he couldn't stand it, as could the Diamond Beast. He didn't want the Diamond Beast to die here in droves.

After dealing with the problem, Fanxin and the Little Fox faced the weapon head-on without flinching.

"Later, we'll unleash our strongest attacks to block that weapon," Fanxin said coldly.

He didn't want to run away because he hadn't yet accomplished what he wanted to do. He wanted to destroy this place because it was too terrifying.

If the Celestial Dragons were to bring something like this to the New World, it would pose a huge threat to them. They would have to take it seriously.

If they encountered each other in the New World, and given his already difficult circumstances, it would be adding insult to injury for him.

If he were here and destroyed that thing, and destroyed this place as well, then the Celestial Dragons would be powerless.

"Okay, I want to see what this thing is too," the Little Fox nodded and said.

Then, without further ado, the two of them began to prepare for the challenge.

"Fanxin, this is our ultimate weapon, the Destruction Shell. One is enough to Destruction an island. You have angered us. Now, you can die," the golden robot said coldly.

"Hehe, I'm afraid there are limitations to that too! Am I right?" Fanxin asked curiously.

His previous actions had angered them, but they didn't immediately use that attack on him, which made him suspicious.

Because if they used this, they could completely kill him; if they caught him off guard, he would indeed have no chance of escaping.

However, they didn't do that. Fanxin knew it wasn't that these people didn't want to; these robots hated him to death and definitely hoped he would die soon. If he died soon, they would feel at ease.

"Hmph, there are indeed limitations; you can only fire two shots at a time. After firing, you need to rest for a long time before you can start again." The golden robot nodded and said, "However, that doesn't matter. I only need one shot to kill you."

"Oh, that's not necessarily true. Do you think you can kill me just by aiming at me?" Fanxin shook his head and said, "You might not be able to hit me then."

His ability to escape is also quite formidable. If he truly can't handle the situation, he won't foolishly continue standing there to defend himself. He'll run away; as long as he gets out of the Destruction Cannon Shell's attack range, that's enough.

Once he's outside the attack range, he has nothing to worry about.

"Hmph, kid, don't get too cocky. Now, I'll show you what we're capable of!" the golden robot roared.

After saying that, the golden robot stopped wasting time and immediately activated its weapons.

A moment later, the central area lit up, the white light so dazzling that it was hard to look directly at it.

Countless gun barrels began to glow, enveloping the area around Fanxin Xin. In other words, Fanxin had no way out.

"Fanxin, you asked for this. You can die now," the golden robot roared. With that, it waved its hand, signaling the weapons to fire.

Countless blazing, blinding beams of light shot out from the cannon, heading straight for Fanxin and the Little Fox.

First the outside, then the center. The reason for this order is that the golden robots are preventing Fanxin from escaping. They've sealed off the outside, so Fanxin are stuck here.

Then, they intercepted and killed them in the center, completely eradicating Fanxin there.

"Little Fox, let's go," Fanxin called out.

The Little Fox nodded and immediately followed Fanxin, rushing forward. Their destination was the fortifications. The source was there; once they destroyed the fortifications, everything would be solved.

They were incredibly fast, covering dozens of meters in the blink of an eye. They launched their attack as they ran.

"It's useless. The power of Destruction can Destruction everything. You can't stop it, hahaha... You're too arrogant. Now, you only have one path: death." The golden robot couldn't help but burst into laughter when it saw Fanxin and the Little Fox begin to fight back.

It was extremely confident in its weapons, because it had tested them and they were practically indestructible! Their weapons could destroy even hard steel and rock in an instant, leaving no trace.

It didn't believe that Fanxin of flesh and blood, or Little Fox, could withstand the power of Destruction.

"Hmph, that's not necessarily true. Destruction power is also a kind of power. When the attack power of another force is stronger than it, its so-called Destruction is nothing more than that," Fanxin Xin immediately shouted.

He didn't believe the Destruction power could Destruction him, because his strength was considerable. Besides, the Little Fox was there too; he was confident they could hold it off.

"Is that so? Then we'll see!" The golden robot's face was full of disdain. It was no longer worried about Fanxin, because Fanxin was too arrogant. It thought Fanxin would die under this bombardment.

The Fanxin said no more, and began to run with all its might.

A few dozen seconds later, Fanxin looked at the central artillery platform and said, "Little Fox, you throw me over there, then keep bombarding me with repulsive force to send me to the central area. You can do that, right?"

He was still quite far from the center. He desperately wanted to launch a slash and destroy the turrets. However, those turrets were outside his attack range, making it impossible for him to do so.

So he had no choice but to ask the Little Fox for help. The Little Fox could use repulsive force to send him very, very far away. Then, it would continue to use repulsive force to help him accelerate, so that he could reach his destination when the cannons went into full force and destroy it.

"Okay," the Little Fox said, "You go ahead, I'll assist you."

Without hesitation, the Little Fox knew that this was the only way to resolve all the troubles—to send the Fanxin over.

"Alright, go ahead and do it!" Fanxin nodded, then ran off into the distance.

The Little Fox immediately grew larger, and once it became a large fox, it aimed at Fanxin's back and delivered a powerful blow.

Under the Little Fox's barrage, Fanxin was sent flying like a cannonball.

The Little Fox hadn't stopped; it continued to bombard the area with repulsive force, relentlessly accelerating the Fanxin. Now, time was running out, and it had to use all its strength.

The golden robot was rushing towards the center at incredible speed, its face filled with worry, because not all the turrets were activated yet; only the ones on the edges were activated, mainly to prevent Fanxin from escaping.

It will take some time for the full activation to take place. If Fanxin Xin arrives at the fortress before it is activated and launches an attack, it is very likely that the fortress will be destroyed.

It lost its composure and immediately launched an attack in that direction, preparing to stop Fanxin. The black robot did the same.

However, just as they were about to launch their attack, they suddenly discovered that their bodies were being pulled away by a gravitational force, and their attacks struck elsewhere.

"Little Fox?" The golden robot recognized the attacker and its expression turned grim. The Little Fox's attack was too unpredictable and impossible to defend against.

"Don't interfere. If you do, I'll attack you," the Little Fox said. "This time, I won't hold back. I'll make you understand how powerful I am."

Previously, it had suffered a loss and was quite dissatisfied with these robots. Now, they were dealing with the turret, which posed a threat to them, and if these robots continued to treat them in the same way, it would naturally be unhappy.

"Hmph, then I'll give it a try." The golden robot snorted and launched another attack.

The black robot was not lagging behind either.

They divided their tasks: one attacked the Fanxin to hinder Fanxin progress, while the other attacked the Little Fox, preventing the Little Fox from helping the Fanxin.

They're doing this to prepare for a two-pronged approach.

"It's no use, you can't interfere." The Little Fox snorted, then immediately took action, aiming its two front paws at the two robots simultaneously. It used gravity to attract the two robots to its side.

"Die!" the Little Fox roared. It instantly transformed into a blood-red fox and swung its paw fiercely at the two robots that had approached it.

It was so fast that the robot couldn't react in time.

It did not stop there; it simultaneously created several more crimson spheres, which it then bombarded at the two robots it had flung to the ground.

They bombarded the area several times in succession, sending clouds of dust billowing everywhere.

"You dare interfere with me? Are you courting death?" The Little Fox hadn't stopped yet. It unleashed a furious beating on the two robots amidst the smoke and dust, showing no mercy whatsoever.

At this moment, the robots found an opportunity to retaliate, unleashing lasers to bombard the Little Fox.

However, the Little Fox did not let them succeed. When the two robots attacked, the Little Fox immediately transformed into a tiny fox and dodged away.

"Hehe, get lost!" The Little Fox transformed into a large fox again, aimed at the two robots, and then slapped them hard. It used repulsive force to send both robots flying off the island.

To prevent these two from causing trouble again, it repeatedly used repulsive force to bombard them. Under its frenzy, the two robots were sent flying an unknown distance.

However, no matter how far away they are, these two robots will not be able to interfere with it in the short term.

"Finally, it's flying! These are all done." The Little Fox immediately turned around and continued to help Fanxin speed up.

At this moment, Fanxin was already not far from the central area. With one more push, it propelled Fanxin directly to the central area, beneath those cannon emplacements.

It used its Haki to sense that the cannons were already within Fanxin's attack range. It then stopped moving, because if it continued to accelerate, it might push Fanxin further away. In that case, it would only be making things worse.

"Now it's up to Fanxin." The Little Fox stopped paying attention to Fanxin and continued patrolling the area to prevent anyone from launching an attack or ambushing Fanxin.

In the central area, Fanxin had already arrived. He landed on the ground and began to move forward step by step.

After walking a dozen steps, he drew his Dragon-Slaying Sword, wrapped it with Haki, and then slashed fiercely at the cannon turret.

A moment later, a black sword aura shot straight towards the cannon emplacement.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword can cut through dragon scales, which are extremely hard. Therefore, cutting through these steel turrets is naturally a piece of cake for it.

The sword energy shot forward and finally struck the cannon platform. Without any suspense, a large gash was cleaved in the platform, causing it to crack and its power to be greatly reduced, as the sword energy had damaged its internal structure.

After a while, the Destruction beams that had been shot out slowly disappeared. In the end, the place returned to complete tranquility.

However, Fanxin did not give up, because his original intention was to destroy this place.

He swung the Dragon-Slaying Sword again, ready to strike.

However, at that moment, a loud voice rang out.

"That's enough, leave!" The voice came from the central area, not too far from Fanxin.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin slowly lowered his knife. He looked towards the source of the sound and narrowed his eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you interfering with me?" Fanxin asked, puzzled.

"I am the First King, and I was originally asleep. However, the commotion you have caused is too great and has threatened me. Therefore, I have awakened from my slumber," said the owner of the voice.

"Hmph, do you think I'd give up just because of what you said?" Fanxin scoffed.

"Perhaps not," the voice said. "But what's the point of destroying this place? There are several other places like this, except this one is public, while the others are secret."

"You destroyed this place, but we can easily rebuild it. You're just wasting your energy. Think about it, isn't that right?"

"What are you doing? Why are you building so many bases?" Fanxin Xin asked, puzzled.

The other person's words shocked Fanxin. He now realized that what he knew was only the tip of the Iceburg. There was much more he didn't know.

"The pirates are growing too fast, the Revolutionary Army has risen again, and there are other forces as well. These have already threatened the Celestial Dragons' rule. Therefore, to deal with these problems, we have no choice but to pursue power," the voice said. "If we have power, we can suppress these villainous forces."

"Hmph, the Celestial Dragons are utterly despicable, arrogant and condescending. Their rule is rotten to the core," Fanxin said. "Continuing to maintain this system is completely pointless."

The Celestial Dragons treat people like dirt, which has caused a great deal of discontent and resentment among many. However, they are afraid of the Celestial Dragons' power, so they are all enduring it.

However, Fanxin knew that when this anger accumulated to a critical point, the conflict would completely erupt.

He could foresee that he would inevitably have to compete with the Celestial Dragons, and an epic battle would soon follow.

"Heh, even animals struggle a bit before they die, let alone humans?" the voice said. "We won't give up easily. If you're truly powerful and manage to kill us all, then we'll accept our bad luck. However, I believe that defeating us easily won't be a simple matter."

"That's not necessarily true. With the Revolutionary Army and so many pirates around, we can definitely win," Fanxin Xin immediately said.

The pirates have the Four Emperors, and the Revolutionary Army also has countless powerful figures. When the two sides join forces, their power should not be underestimated.

"This isn't something that can be accomplished with mere words. You pirates are constantly at odds, always fighting amongst yourselves; you'll never amount to anything," the voice said. "If you were harmonious, our rule would have ended long ago."

Pirates are indeed not on good terms; the Four Emperors often fight over territory and profits.

If the Four Emperors had launched a simultaneous attack on the Marine Headquarters with their Marine Headquarters crews, the Marine Headquarters would have been in serious trouble. They would have had to exert all their strength to deal with just one Whitebeard.

If the Four Emperors attack simultaneously, they would have to mobilize all the world's military forces to have any chance of dealing with them.

That's simply impossible. Most marines need to remain at their posts to guard the area. Otherwise, bad things would happen all over the world.

The Navy took advantage of the discord among the pirates, so they didn't mobilize all their forces, but only concentrated their forces to deal with Whitebeard's pirate crew.

"Perhaps, but I believe that under the threat of death, they will have a change of heart," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

"Alright, then we'll wait and see." The owner of the voice seemed unwilling to linger with Fanxin, saying, "You can leave now. You're not welcome here. I hope you'll give me some face."

"What if I don't leave?" Fanxin said with a smile.

"If you insist on this, then Eight Kings of us will join forces and fight you to the death," the voice said. "Each of us is close to Admiral in strength. You and a Little Fox might not be able to stop us."

"Hehe, there seems to be a limitation, otherwise, why not immediately summon the rest of the capitals?" Fanxin said with a smile.

"Yes, there are indeed limitations. However, if you insist on being aggressive, we absolutely don't mind fighting to the death." The owner of the voice said, "Alright, I'm going to rest now. You can handle it yourself."

After he finished speaking, the voice disappeared completely.

Fanxin watched, hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up attacking.

Because his current power is not as strong as theirs, if he continues to cause trouble here, he will not get anything good out of it.

"Sigh, it seems I'm still too weak. I must work harder." Fanxin was somewhat frustrated. If he were strong enough, he could put in more effort now and fight those guys to the death. However, he couldn't do that now and had to give up.

"Hmph, just you wait, I will definitely be back. When that time comes, I will show you how terrifying I am." Fanxin glanced around and headed outside.

Soon after, he reunited with the Little Fox.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you attacking?" the Little Fox asked curiously.

"They're all awake. We're no match for them. Let's go!" Fanxin said helplessly. He didn't want to leave in such a humiliating way, but if he stayed, he was sure he wouldn't get away with it.

"They're all awake? Are they going to fight to the death?" the Little Fox said.

"Most likely! Let's retreat for now. Bingfeng, Wang Yan, and the others haven't returned yet. The two of us can't handle these guys on our own," Fanxin said. "Once we reunite with them, we'll come back here and destroy this so-called Mechanism City."

Wang Yan and Bingfeng's strength is close to that of Admiral, and their attacks are area-of-effect. Once they launch an attack, it can greatly help him.

"That makes sense, let's go then!" Upon hearing this, the Little Fox didn't persist and nodded in agreement.

Without further hesitation, Fanxin Xin picked up the Little Fox and immediately flew away to the sea to find everyone.

"Boss, they've left," the crimson robot said respectfully to the center.

"Well, it's good that you're gone. From today onwards, seal everything up here and don't allow anyone to come in, understand?" the voice said.

Fanxin wandered in and made a mess of the place, much to its displeasure. If it hadn't woken up at the last minute, something terrible might have happened.

Therefore, it has decided to close this place completely from now on. In that case, it will be impossible for anyone to get in.

"Okay, boss, don't worry!" the blood-red robot said.

"Okay, go and do it! Find them both and bring them back to guard this place." The owner of the voice nodded in satisfaction and said.

The crimson robot nodded and immediately went to search for it at sea.

The Little Fox had fought fiercely earlier and sent the two flying; they were nowhere to be found now. It had to go and find them, otherwise it would lose two helpers.

After leaving the Mechanism City, Fanxin flew for four hours according to the directions indicated by the Vivre Card and finally found the ship.

Since the ship was on the seabed, Fanxin had to enter the deep sea himself to reunite with the others.

He put the Little Fox into the Diamond Space and put away the Flight Armor. He then landed in the sea.

He quickly submerged and reached his boat. After contacting Ren Fang, he went inside.

"Let's surface and get out of here as soon as possible," Fanxin said.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ren Fang immediately instructed the Little Black Cat to take action and make the boat begin to rise to the surface.

Once back on the sea, they began to sail into the distance.

"Boss, where should we go next?" the Little Black Cat asked.

"Whatever," Fanxin said. "I want to visit every place I haven't been before. You steer the ship; just call me when we reach a place we haven't been before."

Upon hearing Fanxin's words, the Little Black Cat stopped talking nonsense and immediately went to carry them out.
