Fish-Man Island (II)

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant. You're on our turf, and you still dare to be so disrespectful." The shark- Fish-Man was annoyed and shouted, "I'll ask you one more time, are you surrendering or not? If you refuse, we'll kill you right now."

Upon hearing this, Fanxin pulled Ren Fang along and slowly walked outside, ignoring the Fish-Man.

He's going on a trip, he doesn't have time to waste chatting with these guys.

Enraged that Fanxin was ignoring them, the Fish-Man drew their weapons, ready to attack Fanxin and Ren Fang.

A group of people rushed forward and approached Fanxin and Ren Fang. Then, they brandished their weapons and prepared to attack.

However, at that moment, a mysterious power erupted from Fanxin's body, attacking the minds of those Fish-Man.

Many of the Fish-Man collapsed to the ground, lost consciousness, and were unable to move.

The reason they fainted was naturally because Fanxin had used his Haki. These guys were too annoying, and he didn't want to get entangled with them. So, he used his Haki to attack them directly.

Haki attack is extremely powerful; unless one's strength reaches a certain level, it's impossible to withstand it.

Those who fainted were those with weak wills; their mental discipline was insufficient, so they were naturally knocked unconscious by the Haki attack.

Of course, a few Fish-Man didn't fall. However, although they were still conscious, they were trembling all over, and cold sweat was dripping from their foreheads. Clearly, they were terrified.

"Fish-Man, stop following me. This is a lesson. But next time, I'll be going to go on a killing spree, understand?" Fanxin walked for a while, then suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at the few Fish-Man who hadn't fainted, and said coldly.

He didn't want to wreak havoc on Fish-Man Island, because Fish-Man Island was beautiful, and he didn't want this beautiful place to be covered in blood.

Of course, he was also warning these guys not to disturb his leisurely travels.

He wanted to enjoy a proper trip, but if these Fish-Man kept chasing after him, he would get extremely annoyed.

Therefore, he decided to resolve the matter once and for all, so that he wouldn't have to worry about them anymore.

"Did you understand?" Fanxin looked at the Fish-Man and shouted coldly.

"I... I understand." The few remaining Fish-Man nodded slightly and said.

"Alright, I hope you'll behave yourselves." Fanxin.

Having said that, Fanxin stopped talking nonsense, took Ren Fang, and left for a distant place.

The Fish-Man split into two groups: one group went to report to their leader, while the other group stayed behind to look after the unconscious Fish-Man.

Fanxin didn't bother with what was happening here. He had already dealt with it. If these guys were still reckless and continued to attack him, he would simply take drastic measures.

He took Ren Fang around, visiting restaurants, beaches, train stations, Sea Forest, and other places without missing a single one.

They wandered around, and before they knew it, more than twenty days had passed.

"Let's go back. We haven't been in touch with everyone for over twenty days, and we don't know how they are doing," Ren Fang said.

"Hehe, they haven't contacted us either, so I guess nothing's wrong," Fanxin said with a smile.

"That's true, but we should head back now. It's been so long. The brothers must be getting tired of it," Ren Fang said. "We should buy some food, coat the ship, and then leave for the New World."

They came to Fish-Man Island as a stopover, but unfortunately, the other route was blocked by the Navy. The Navy built a fortress there, so it's impossible for you to pass through easily.

Therefore, their only way to reach the New World was through the sea. Fish-Man Island served as a transit point in the ocean; they had to stop there to replenish their supplies, otherwise they would not be able to reach the New World safely and would perish at sea.

If that weren't the case, they wouldn't need to come to Fish-Man Island. They come to Fish-Man Island because of necessity, and tourism is secondary.

Now that they've finished the secondary tasks, it's time to get back to the main topic.

"That's true, but we don't seem to know anyone who knows how to apply the coating, which makes things a bit tricky," Fanxin said immediately upon hearing this.

"Yes, that's true, but don't be afraid," Ren Fang said. "Many pirate ships are coming; we'll see."

On their way to Fish-Man Island, they saw many pirate ships. These pirate ships, like them, were heading to the New World.

Once they get here, they'll definitely need to have their ships coated. They can just follow along.

"That makes sense, then let's do it that way," Fanxin said.

Without further ado, the two headed straight for the center of the island.

They had now reached the outskirts of the island, where there was hardly anyone to be seen. Clearly, they had arrived in a place uninhabited by Fish-Man.

They had to return to the center to leave, then summon their brothers back, and together they sailed away.

The two walked hand in hand toward the central area.

Upon entering the area where the Fish-Man lived, Fanxin and Ren Fang immediately frowned.

They discovered that some extreme Fish-Man were going crazy, destroying everything in sight, including anything related to the palace. They were also making the Fish-Man trample on the portrait of the deceased queen, a complete insult to her.

"What happened?" Ren Fang asked in shock.

"A rebellion," Fanxin said. "Before I came, I scanned Fish-Man Island with my Haki. There's a group of extremist Fish-Man plotting something; they seem to want to overthrow the current king and take over for themselves."

"These people are too crazy, obsessed with killing. If they were to come to power, Fish-Man Island would be finished. However, it's none of my business, so I didn't interfere. I didn't expect them to actually take action."

"Judging from their current scale, they seem to have the upper hand; Wang Jun has been utterly routed."

The fact that these Fish-Man were running rampant while Wang Jun remained completely silent could only mean one thing: Wang Jun had been defeated. The Fish-Man had triumphed over them.

"What should we do? Should we intervene?" Ren Fang asked.

"We cannot act for the time being," Fanxin said, shaking his head.

"Why?" Ren Fang asked, puzzled.

"Because these Fish-Man's goal is to completely antagonize humanity. They consider themselves the highest-ranking race and regard humans as trash. If we intervene now, it would be pushing this war to another extreme."

Fanxin said, "Even if we defeat the Fish-Man won't accept it. They'll just think that humans have come here to cause trouble. At that point, the situation will only escalate."

"But we can't just ignore this, can we? If a country collapses, it's the ordinary people who suffer! These troublemakers won't get away with it," Ren Fang said worriedly.

Her village was destroyed, but they were the ones who suffered, while those who destroyed her village went unpunished.

Therefore, she didn't want to see such a thing happen; it would be too tragic.

"Don't worry, I will make a move. However, the time is not yet right. When the time comes, I will make my move," Fanxin said with a smile.

"When?" Ren Fang asked curiously.

"When all the Fish-Man are in despair, that will be our time to act," Fanxin said.

"Why do you want to do this?" Ren Fang asked, puzzled.

"These extremists want to wage a complete war against humanity. So they're doing everything they can to deceive the residents and get them on their side," Fanxin said. "And what I have to do is expose their lies."

"When the Fish-Man are in despair, and we humans reappear, what will Fish-Man think?"

"Humans are not targeting Fish-Man Island as those extremists claim," Ren Fang immediately said.

"Yes, at that time, they will accept humanity from the bottom of their hearts. And those extremists will be despised by them. And that's the effect I want," Fanxin said. "In this way, not only will the rebellion be suppressed, but the centuries-old feud between humans and Fish-Man will also be resolved."

"Actually, the long-standing grudge between humans and Fish-Man is easy to resolve: mutual understanding and tolerance. However, these extremists have gone to great lengths to eliminate this opportunity. As a result, the misunderstanding between humans and Fish-Man has deepened, and over time, the resentment has naturally intensified."

"If we arrive at the right time and kill all those extremists, then the relationship between humans and Fish-Man will gradually improve."

"That makes sense, let's do as you say!" Ren Fang nodded and said.

Misunderstandings can arise between people, and if there is no understanding, resentment will only deepen. The same applies to Fish-Man. As long as both sides understand each other, things become much easier to resolve.

"Alright, let's go!" Fanxin said, "Contact Wang Yan and Bingfeng immediately and tell them to go to that square and protect those members of the royal family."

Those members of the royal family have done nothing wrong and cannot die. If they die, things will become even more complicated. If they die, there will be no one to take charge.

Their goal was not only to resolve the trouble, but also to ensure long-term stability. As long as the royal family existed, they could handle the aftermath. If the royal family died, the place would fall apart.

"Okay. I'll contact them right away and have them get to that square." Ren Fang nodded and said.

Fanxin said nothing more, immediately put on his Flight Armor, picked up Ren Fang, and headed towards the square.

Those extremist Fish-Man have already said they'll execute the king over in the plaza. So, that's their destination too.

He ran all the way, and an hour and a half later, he and Ren Fang reached the coral reef at the edge of the square.

He looked towards the plaza and saw that 100,000 Fish-Man had joined the rebels and had occupied the entire plaza.

Several rebel leaders stood at the very front of the square. There stood a very tall and large platform, which was the execution platform.

At this time, the king and his two princes had been captured and were being held on a large rack, awaiting execution.

However, they haven't made a move yet, seemingly waiting for something.

"What should we do? Should we take action?" Ren Fang asked.

"Let's wait and see. They haven't made a move yet, so there's no need for us to either," Fanxin said. "Go and call all the brothers over right now. We'll have a proper fight here."

"Okay." Ren Fang nodded and immediately went to greet her brothers.

But Fanxin await here.

A dozen minutes later, the ship's main fighting force arrived and came to Fanxin's side.

"What about the other crew members?" Fanxin asked.

"The Fish-Man started capturing humans a day ago, seemingly intending to use them as cannon fodder. So, I called them all back to the ship. They're all safely aboard now," the Little Fox said. "Oh, right, all the food and supplies have been purchased; we're just waiting to coat the ship and then leave."

"Hehe, you guys are quite dedicated, aren't you?" Fanxin nodded slightly upon hearing this. With everything prepared, things would be much easier for them.

"Sigh, you've been gone for over twenty days, and nobody's been looking after you. So, we had no choice but to step in," the Little Black Cat said dejectedly.

"Hehe, don't be upset, you guys can go have fun too?" Fanxin said, "Before we came here, I already said that unexpected situations might arise. I can't guarantee everyone's 100% safety, so at this point, they have to rely on themselves."

"Therefore, you don't need to keep an eye on them all day. If danger arises, they know how to handle it. Understand?"

There were too many people for him to keep an eye on every day. Besides, the crew members weren't children; they were all adults and knew what they should and shouldn't do.

Therefore, they will take measures to deal with danger when it occurs. They don't need to treat them like children at all.

"Alright, you said it yourself." The Little Black Cat nodded immediately upon hearing this.

It was worried about something happening to the crew, but now that Fanxin had said so, it could rest assured. Fanxin Captain Fan Xin wasn't worried, then it, a mere crew member, had even less to worry about.

"That's natural," Fanxin nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.

"So what should we do now? Should we intervene?" Bingfeng suddenly asked.

"Not yet, the time isn't right," Fanxin said. "We can make our move when the time is right."

"When?" Bingfeng asked.

"Just wait for my order. Let's just watch for now!" Fanxin waved his hand, offering no further explanation.

Everyone is calm now. If they take action, it would be tantamount to the Fish-Man, which is not what he wants to see. Therefore, he cannot make a move for the time being.
