Baboons (1)

While wiping his knife, he pondered how to fight Hawk-Eye, and before he knew it, time had passed.

He only stopped working when Qiangwei came to tell him that they had arrived at Kuraigana Island, where Hawk-Eye was.

"Have we arrived? Hehe, that's good, let's go to the island!" Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

"Where are the crew members?" Qiangwei asked.

"Let them stay on the ship. I'm just going to fight Hawk-Eye; there's nothing to see there," Fanxin said after a moment's thought.

This island was deserted, uninhabited, and there was really nothing to see. He wouldn't have come to this island if he hadn't heard that Hawk-Eye lived here.

"Alright, I'll arrange it right away." Qiangwei nodded and said.

"Okay, Ren Fang and Yuning will come with me to the island." Fanxin nodded and said, "The rest of you are free to move around on the boat and explore the surrounding area. But you must go in groups, understand?"

He didn't know the situation here. For safety's sake, he had no choice but to make these arrangements. Otherwise, it would be bad if everyone got attacked because they were alone.

"Okay, I understand." Qiangwei nodded and said.

Fanxin stopped talking nonsense and immediately got off the boat, leading Ren Fang and Yuning towards the center of the island.

Everyone was playing games on the deck, while the cooks were preparing delicious food in the kitchen.

The Little Fox lay on the bow of the boat, taking a lazy nap. However, although its eyes were closed, its mind was on its surroundings, and no creature that wanted to approach the boat could escape its senses.

Its purpose in staying was to replace Fanxin and guard this place. Its strength was formidable, and only with it here could Fanxin feel at ease.

Fanxin, along with Ren Fang and Yuning, strolled around leisurely. He didn't immediately go in to fight Hawk-Eye. Since Hawk-Eye lived here, he didn't need to worry that the opponent would run away.

"It's so desolate here," Ren Fang said. Everywhere there were broken walls and overgrown weeds. From these ruins, you could still see traces of some of the buildings that once stood there.

However, all of that is in the past and no longer exists.

"Yes, war is too cruel. After a war, everything is destroyed." Fanxin nodded and said, "Take the Marine Headquarters, for example, it's a complete mess."

The Marine Headquarters was utterly destroyed by Whitebeard. If the Marines don't rebuild it, it will become a desolate wasteland in countless years.

However, the Navy did not abandon the site; they sent many construction workers to rebuild the Marine Headquarters there.

"Yes, war is truly terrible. A kingdom can just disappear like that. I really don't want war to happen again," Ren Fang sighed and said.

Once war breaks out, everything will be destroyed. No matter how beautiful this place was before, once war breaks out, all the beauty will become a thing of the past.

She hoped for peace so that everyone could live well.

"Your vision is good, but it won't succeed," Fanxin said. "Since ancient times, there has been endless fighting between nations, and even within nations. It has never truly stopped. You can't stop it; it's simply impossible."

"Take the present situation for example. You may appear calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging beneath; you just haven't sensed them yet. I'm certain that a major war is brewing, and no one can stop it. That war will affect the entire world, and it's highly unlikely that you, with your drug resistance, can remain unscathed."

"Really? That's troublesome," Ren Fang said.

"Hmph, we're not in trouble. It's the ordinary people who suffer. They don't want war, but things haven't gone as planned. They have no choice but to get involved; death is the only escape for them," Fanxin said helplessly.

Their strength is formidable; even in the event of war, they have nothing to fear and can fully protect themselves. However, ordinary people are not so fortunate, because they are not strong enough.

It's impossible for them to remain unscathed in the war.

"Sigh, I wonder how many people will die because of the war," Ren Fang said.

"Who knows? We can only take care of ourselves, not the world. The world needs everyone to take care of it. If no one does their best, then we can only sigh helplessly," Fanxin said.

The world is so vast, and he is merely one person within this immense world. He cannot manage the entire world because he is overwhelmed. Although he wants to manage it, he lacks the strength and capacity.

This world needs more capable people to manage it. If they take action, things will be much better. If they don't, then this world will remain as it is.

"That's true, we just need to live our own lives." Ren Fang nodded and didn't say anything more. Because saying more would be pointless.

"Alright, let's go then. Let's wander around for a bit before we go find Hawk-Eye," Fanxin said.

Ren Fang and Yuning nodded, offering no objection.

They strolled hand in hand, their journey filled with desolate landscapes that made them feel deeply uneasy.

After watching for a long time, Ren Fang and Yuning got bored. They both clamored to go see Hawk-Eye and watch Fanxin Hawk-Eye fight him.

Fanxin had no choice but to agree.

However, although Fanxin wanted to go, things didn't go as planned. Just as they were about to leave, a group of baboons suddenly jumped out from the middle of the forest and blocked their way.

Fanxin looked at the baboons with a strange expression.

Because he saw many familiar things among those baboons. For example, the Three-Sword Style, Hawk-Eye's greatsword, and so on... the list goes on and on.

These guys seem to be imitating humans.

"Isn't that Zoro's Three-Sword Style? Why can the baboon use it?" Ren Fang asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's strange." Fanxin Xin frowned, unsure how to explain it.

"Then what should we do?" Ren Fang asked.

"These baboons are no ordinary creatures. They can mimic humans, so they must have learned some skills. You must be careful, understand?" Fanxin Xin said with a solemn expression.

Although he wasn't afraid of the baboons, Ren Fang and Yuning had to be careful, because these guys were no ordinary creatures.

"Hmm, are you planning to fight them?" Fanxin asked immediately.

"Yes, I'm going to fight them and test their strength," Fanxin said.

"Okay, I'll protect Yuning. You can go now." Ren Fang nodded and said.

"Don't worry, if you really can't stop me, I'll use my Haki to intimidate you," Fanxin said.

His domineering Haki was Conqueror's Haki, enough to completely intimidate these baboons. If the baboons dared to make a move, he would teach them a lesson. Therefore, there was no problem for Ren Fang and Yuning to stand here.

"Okay, go ahead." Ren Fang nodded obediently and said.

Without further ado, Fanxin Xin stepped forward and began fighting the baboons.

These baboons are truly formidable, many times stronger than ordinary people. Many people on his boat couldn't defeat them. These creatures seem to be born with a natural fighting ability.

"This is truly extraordinary. I wonder how he learned it," Fanxin muttered to himself in confusion.

Baboons probably wouldn't have used human tools before, because although they are intelligent, they are still far inferior to humans.

However, they can do it now, which shows that they have learned. But this learning process takes time.

"Never mind, let's defeat them first!" Fanxin for a while, but still couldn't figure it out. However, he was too lazy to think about it anymore, because he planned to ask Hawk-Eye later. He lived here, so he must know the reason for these baboons.

He stopped wasting words and began to exert his strength, attacking the baboons.

The baboons were indeed formidable, but that was relative. They might be a burden to his crew, but to Fanxin, they were merely a minor nuisance. He could easily deal with them with a simple action.

However, he didn't kill them, only injuring them. These baboons held no grudge against him, and he couldn't be bothered to take their lives.

However, the baboons were very unhappy. An outsider had intruded and defeated them, causing them to lose face.

They couldn't defeat Fanxin, so they turned their attention to Ren Fang and Yuning.

Fanxin didn't make a move first, watching Ren Fang and Yuning fight the baboons.

They fought for quite a while. Although Ren Fang and Yuning were quite strong, there were simply too many baboons. It was really difficult for just the two of them to take them down.

In the end, they were outnumbered and defeated.

Fanxin wasn't surprised at all; this was to be expected, because these baboons were no ordinary creatures; they had learned many advanced combat skills.

They seem to be born for battle; defeating them is no easy task.

Ren Fang and Yuning's strength had not yet reached that level, so naturally they could only be defeated.

However, the baboons wouldn't let them go and seemed about to attack them as well. This displeased Fanxin.

Fanxin Xin immediately unleashed his Haki and attacked these guys.

Under his glare, the baboons showed fear. They glanced at Fanxin, and finally returned to the forest, not daring to provoke Fanxin again.

"You're amazing. If it weren't for you, I would have been injured," Ren Fang said, still shaken.

"Of course, these baboons are trained from a young age, so they're naturally incomparable," Fanxin said. "Don't worry, when I see those two Celestial Dragons, I'll definitely give you a Devil Fruit. With Devil Fruit, you'll gain special abilities. Then, your fighting power will become increasingly formidable."

"Well, I haven't mastered the Haki yet, which is a bit frustrating," Ren Fang said helplessly.

If she cultivates Haki, her strength will increase. Because cultivating Haki will unleash her potential.

However, despite cultivating for so long, she still couldn't unleash her Haki, which left her quite frustrated.

"There's no need to rush this, you can't rush it," Fanxin immediately comforted him upon hearing this.

"I know that too!" Ren Fang said.

"You wait, if you're free on weekdays, I'll be your sparring partner and I'll definitely help you cultivate Haki," Fanxin said.

Ren Fang is his woman. Now that she's become stronger, he can rest assured. Otherwise, he wouldn't know what to do if they encountered a powerful enemy.

"Okay, you said it yourself." Ren Fang nodded and said.

"Of course," Fanxin said confidently. Accompanying his woman in cultivation was a very interesting thing. Naturally, he wouldn't object.

"What about my sparring partner?" Yuning asked with a grin.

"Your sparring partners are robots!" Fanxin said. "They're quite powerful, you know. You can train with them."

"No way, their bodies are too tough. If I fight them, I'll be at a disadvantage too," Yuning said, immediately shaking her head.

"Hehe, so what do you want?" Fanxin said, both amused and exasperated. The robot's body was made of steel, so it was naturally very hard. If someone weak punched it, it would indeed hurt a lot.

However, in a fight, when you strike someone, a reaction force is generated from their actions and acts on you. You can't dodge it unless you stop attacking.

"I want to fight fat people; it'll feel good," Yuning said.

"Hehe, what's the point?" Fanxin shook his head and said, "Yuning, you need to train your body, understand? Your close combat is too weak. Once someone gets close, you'll suffer a great loss. That's not a good thing."

Each time, he would assign a highly skilled fighter to Yuning's side to protect her. However, he also worried that if danger arose, he wouldn't be able to send someone to Yuning's side. At that point, Yuning would be in danger.

Therefore, he hoped that Yuning would hone her skills so that she could save her life in critical moments.

"I know, but I'm too weak. Even though I've been training, my strength is increasing slowly, and there's nothing I can do about it," Yuning complained.

"Then keep going, you'll definitely get stronger and stronger," Fanxin said. "When you no longer need anyone's protection, you'll have truly become strong."

"Alright, I'll try my best." Yuning knew that Fanxin for her own good, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's go find Hawk-Eye now!" Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "Fighting these baboons wasn't enough, looks like we'll have to fight Hawk-Eye."

A true master only finds satisfaction in fighting other masters. If a master fights a weakling, he'll feel like he's accomplished nothing.

I already have this feeling in my Fanxin.

So he decided that he had to have a good fight with Hawk-Eye today, otherwise he would not stop.
