Return (3)

When Fanxin reached Ren Fang's side, she didn't disturb Ren Fang. Ren Fang was shopping for food, and Wang Yan was keeping her company.

Fanxin was playing leisurely to the side. Since Ren Fang couldn't run away, there was no need for him to rush.

Wang Yan bought two bunches of bananas, tossed one to Fanxin, and kept the other for herself.

"Your woman is in your hands now. I'm going for a stroll," Wang Yan said.

Her original duty was to protect Ren Fang, but now that Ren Fang's man has returned, this job naturally has to be handed over to Fanxin.

"Okay, go ahead." Fanxin nodded, holding a banana, eating it while keeping Ren Fang.

Ren Fang also saw Fanxin, but she didn't greet him because she was busy at the moment.

After buying everything she wanted, Ren Fang looked at Fanxin and asked, "So, did you get the Devil Fruit?"

"Okay, I got it. Let's go, we'll find a place where you can pick one out yourself," Fanxin nodded and said.

A person can only eat one Devil Fruit. Although Blackbeard broke this rule, it was just an exception. This rule still applies to everyone else.

Ren Fang doesn't have a deformed body, so she can only eat one Devil Fruit.

"Okay, let's go." Ren Fang nodded and headed towards a hotel with Fanxin.

Once inside the hotel, the two of them booked a room and checked in.

After closing the door, Fanxin Xin immediately took out the items; there were more than twenty Devil Fruit in total, filling a large box.

"So many?" Ren Fang looked at them and said in surprise.

"Hmm, I don't know why there are so many. But I do know they're sold on the black market," Fanxin nodded and said.

He found it strange too, because Devil Fruit very rare. Yet, this time, that puppet Celestial Dragons had managed to obtain so many. If the guy hadn't been under his control, he would have genuinely suspected that the puppet was a fake.

That person was one of his own, so he obviously wouldn't lie to him. Therefore, although he was surprised, he had no choice but to believe it.

"Oh, that's amazing," Ren Fang said.

"Yeah, but I can't be bothered with it anymore," Fanxin said. "You can choose for yourself. This one is Zoan, and this one is Paramecia."

"I don't know its specific abilities; you'll only know after you consume it. So, there's still some risk involved. Good luck!"

He hasn't looked at the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, so he doesn't recognize what types of Devil Fruit these are. If you want to know his abilities, you'll have to eat him yourself.

"Oh." Upon hearing this, Ren Fang looked at the Devil Fruit and hesitated for a very long time.

Finally, she chose one from the Paramecia Devil Fruit. She chose a white Devil Fruit with many patterns on it, but she didn't know what kind of power it had.

"Are you sure?" Fanxin Xin asked immediately.

"It's confirmed. Since we don't know their abilities anyway, I guess I'll just have to take a gamble," Ren Fang said.

"Okay, you can eat it!" Fanxin nodded and said.

Ren Fang nodded, then took a bite and swallowed it.

Ren Fang initially thought it would be delicious, but the next moment, she almost threw the Devil Fruit away because it tasted absolutely awful.

"It tastes so bad?" Fanxin looked at it, paused for a moment, and asked.

He had never eaten Devil Fruit, so he had no idea that Devil Fruit so awful.

"Ugh, it really tastes awful," Ren Fang said.

"I see. But you have to finish it, otherwise you won't be able to gain the ability," Fanxin said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Ren Fang had no choice but to grit her teeth and finish the Devil Fruit. After finishing it, she ate a lot of delicious food to make herself feel a little better.

"Alright, don't eat it again. Just this once," Fanxin said with a smile.

"If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have wanted to eat it even once," Ren Fang said.

"However, for the sake of this power, you must endure some suffering," Fanxin said with a smile. Although eating Devil Fruit is unpleasant, you will gain the power after you finish it.

Fanxin himself was willing to eat Devil Fruit once for that ability. However, he doesn't need it now; he's already very strong and doesn't need to eat one. On the contrary, Devil Fruit might have the opposite effect on him.

"That's true." Ren Fang agreed, so she stopped complaining.

"Try it out and see what your abilities are," Fanxin urged.

If Ren Fang acquires a valuable skill, he will be at ease. Because if she is well, he won't need to keep a close eye on her all the time.

Ren Fang nodded, closed her eyes, and began to experience the power that the Devil Fruit granted her.

Soon after, she opened her eyes and looked at Fanxin.

Fanxin Xin immediately said, "What ability? Tell me quickly!" He really wanted to know what Ren Fang's ability was.

Ren Fang chuckled, grabbed Fanxin's hand, and whispered, "Separate."

Upon hearing this, Fanxin's hand immediately disintegrated, turning into countless tiny specks that floated in the air. Fanxin felt no pain whatsoever, which was extremely strange.

"What kind of ability is this?" Fanxin asked curiously.

"Spatial ability," Ren Fang said, "I can transform my target into countless tiny spaces, preventing them from launching any further attacks and making them completely my prey."

"At the same time, I can also transform into countless small spaces to escape. Unless you destroy all of these tiny spaces I've created, I absolutely cannot die; I can use those small spaces to resurrect."

"Oh, so if you just leave a small space here with me, you'll never die, right?" Fanxin asked curiously.

"Hehe, of course," Ren Fang said with a smile. "Now you can rest assured that I'm going to fight!"

Fanxin was protecting her last straw; as long as Fanxin lived, her lifeline would be safe. Therefore, she had no need to worry about her opponent at all.

"Of course you can. You can fight whomever you want from now on," Fanxin said. "But you must know when to stop and not act recklessly. If you get injured, it's very difficult to recover, understand?"

Ren Fang left a small space with him only to save her life, not to protect her from injury. If she suffered irreversible damage, things would be difficult. He didn't want to see that happen.

"I know," Ren Fang nodded and said.

"Okay, that's good. Starting tomorrow, you can begin refining the Devil Fruit and developing its potential!" Fanxin nodded and said.

Ren Fang nodded, indicating that she understood.

Afterwards, the two rested in the room. After a night's rest, Fanxin took Ren Fang and left the hotel, returning to the ship.

Back on the ship, everyone got busy. Fanxin selected more than twenty people and had them eat Devil Fruit. They weren't very strong, but the Devil Fruit made up for their weaknesses, so they were fine.

After taking care of everything, Fanxin waited patiently for the Straw Hat Boy and the others to arrive.

As time went by, the remaining few people gradually arrived.

On the seventh day, they all gathered together and came to their ships.

At this point, all the coating work was completed, and it was ready to set sail at any time.

"Hey, Straw Hat Boy, how are you?" Fanxin sat at the bow of the boat, looking at the Straw Hat Boy not far away, and said with a smile.

The Straw Hat Boy was overjoyed to see Fanxin. He jumped around like a monkey, completely unlike a captain.

"Hehe, let's have a meal here. It's been a long time, let's get together!" Fanxin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat Boy did not refuse. After putting his luggage on the boat, he led everyone over and boarded Fanxin's boat.

Fanxin then arranged for Ren Fang to lead everyone to the kitchen to prepare food. Straw Hat Boy is quite the big eater; if you don't cook more, you won't be able to fill his stomach.

Once aboard the ship, Fanxin had the robot bring out all the delicious food and drinks to entertain them.

Everyone gathered together, enjoying themselves immensely.

"Hey kid, how's your strength? Can you beat Admiral?" Fanxin asked curiously.

If he can defeat Admiral, then he is very strong. And if he wants to establish himself in the New World, as the captain, he must also have such strength.

Because in the New World, there are the Four Emperors, whose strength is comparable to that of Marine Admiral. If the Straw Hat Boy can't defeat them, how can he establish himself in the New World? If he encounters even one of them, he will be either knocked away or killed.

"Hehe, I can definitely knock them away." Straw Hat Boy chuckled and said.

"Oh, really? If that's true, that's great." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "Let's go. Once we get to the New World, we'll gather a few more pirate crews, form a large fleet, and destroy all the areas ruled by the Four Emperors. After that, that place will be our territory."

Fanxin Xin's ambitions were boundless; his goal was to rule the New World and find a safe haven for his family. With him there, no one would dare attack them.

However, he couldn't manage alone. There were Four Emperors and many other powerful figures there. He couldn't possibly deal with so many forces by himself. Therefore, he needed to find allies, and the Straw Hat Boy was the ally he was looking for.

The Straw Hat Boy is a king; he has mastered Conqueror's Haki, so his strength is extraordinary.

He is also a tyrant. Two tyrants joining forces can definitely turn the New World upside down.

"Hehe, good, that's exactly what I was thinking too. Once we get to the New World, anyone who dares to stop us will be sent flying." Straw Hat Boy nodded and said. He was now full of confidence, completely unlike the dejected look he had two years ago. Clearly, he had honed his strength to its limit; otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident.

"Hehe, that's good." Fanxin nodded, then looked at Sanji and Zoro and said, "As the main warriors of the ship, how's your strength? The New World isn't like this place; over there, it's a life-or-death battle."

"Last time, you were able to escape entirely thanks to Tyrant Kuma's help, but once you get there, Tyrant Kuma won't be able to help you again, understand?"

Tyrant Kuma has been transformed into a puppet; he can no longer intervene to save others.

"Don't worry, it's been two years, and we've been working hard. We haven't slacked off, so naturally we won't be inferior to others," Sanji nodded and said. He had a cigarette dangling from his lips, looking cool; even though two years had passed, this habit of his hadn't changed.

"Heh, I will become the strongest swordsman. Anyone who dares to stop me, I will cut them down," Zoro said coldly. He now only has one eye left; the other eye seems to be injured and closed forever.

"That would be best," Fanxin said. "In any case, everyone needs to work hard. You all suffered a great loss two years ago, and you should understand what happens when you are weak."

"The New World isn't like here. There's no sympathy there. If you're not careful, you'll definitely suffer."

"Understood." The Straw Hat Pirates members nodded, their faces bearing faint smiles, looking quite confident.

Seeing them like this, Fanxin was also very happy, because he didn't want to see his allies in such a state.

"Alright, now that we've finished catching up, it's time for me to pass on some things to you," Fanxin said. "During the two years you've been cultivating, I've traveled to many places, basically visiting all the places I hadn't been before. My final battle will be against the Alabasta Kingdom."

Fanxin looked at them and said, "I saw your good friend Weiwei in the Alabasta Kingdom. I told her about your situation, and she asked me to bring you some things." As he spoke, he took out the things Weiwei had given him from his Diamond Space and placed them on the table. Inside were clothes, food, and many fun things.

"Oh, it's Weiwei. How is she?" Hearing this, everyone was a little excited. They had gone on adventures with Weiwei before, and those days were very pleasant.

"Great, I really miss you all." Fanxin nodded, then called Xiao Ning over and said, "Weiwei recorded a lot of videos, you can watch them yourselves!"

"Alright, I won't bother you any longer. I'll go to the kitchen to cook." After saying Fanxin, Fan Xin immediately went out the door, closed it behind him, and went to help in the kitchen.

Vivi is a friend of the Straw Hat Pirates, and he didn't want to get involved. So, he left the room for the Straw Hat and the others, letting them share Vivi's longing.

Once in the kitchen, Fanxin took it upon himself to start cooking. There were too many people to eat, so he had to step in.
