The Four Emperors' Envoys (3)
"Alright, the matter is settled. Now, hand over your wealth!" said Baron Tamago.
Fanxin nodded and said, "No problem, here you go!"
After saying that, Fanxin Xin immediately took out several bags from the Diamond Space. The bags were very large and filled with wealth.
He acquired these items from elsewhere, and there were quite a few of them. He rarely used them on a regular basis, only taking some out when making purchases. Otherwise, he kept them mostly inside.
This time, in order to resolve the crisis on Fish-Man Island, he had no choice but to use this wealth.
"Alright, that's enough." Baron Tamago looked at Fanxin and Straw Hat Luffy and said, "You two ignorant fools, how dare you provoke Mom! You'll be in for a beating!"
No bastard has ever dared to provoke Mom before, but Fanxin and Luffy have dared to do so, which shows they completely disregard Mom's authority.
If his mother were an ordinary person, he wouldn't bother saying much. However, his mother is one of the Four Emperors, so her status is extraordinary.
Fanxin and Straw Hat Luffy are just asking for trouble; aren't they just courting death?
"Hehe, that's none of your business. Just don't cause trouble for Fish-Man Island," Fanxin Xin chuckled dismissively.
His biggest worry was that Big Mom would arrive with her pirate ship and destroy Fish-Man Island. Without him here, things would be really difficult. If he were here, he wouldn't be afraid.
He could live in the deep sea anyway, and he wasn't afraid to fight Big Mom in the ocean.
On the contrary, Big Mom is at a great disadvantage because he is human. If he were a Devil Fruit user, it would be much easier to deal with him.
"Hmph, courting death." Baron Tamago snorted softly when he saw Fanxin's nonchalant expression.
Without another word, he immediately picked up several bags of treasure and headed off into the distance. His companions followed him.
"Hehe, it seems those two are unhappy." Fanxin said with a smile.
"Isn't that right? They came here to show off, but now they've been tricked. Naturally, they're not happy about it," Ren Fang said. "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. We should get ready. You've offended the Four Emperors; we're in for a lot of trouble."
Now they've offended Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, and that woman is not to be trifled with. If they don't make some preparations, they'll be in serious trouble.
"That makes sense. Let's go, let's get ready," Fanxin nodded and said.
Straw Hat Luffy, along with Zoro and Sanji, left this place and went far away.
Fanxin approached Minister of the Left and asked, "So, how much time is left until next month's delivery?"
"There are still two months left," said Minister of the Left.
"Are you sure you can make it in time?" Fanxin asked. If they couldn't, that would be a real problem, because they were leaving soon and wouldn't be able to stay on Fish-Man Island anymore.
If the Big Mom comes looking for trouble, then Fish-Man Island's situation will be in serious jeopardy.
"We can handle it, don't worry. With this respite, we'll work day and night," said Minister of the Left.
"That's good. You can't fall out with the Big Mom yet, but once we've made a name for ourselves in the New World, we'll come back to protect Fish-Man Island," Fanxin said.
If his reputation were as great as Whitebeard's, and he were to protect this place, who would dare target Fish-Man Island unless they were courting death?
"Well, thank you all so much this time. Otherwise, things would have been really troublesome. That Big Mom is a madwoman; she'd even destroy a country for some pastries," said Minister of the Left somewhat shaken.
Having experienced the Hody Jones incident, his fear of Four Emperors Big Mom deepened. Because Four Emperors Big Mom would not be easily defeated, the possibility of Fish-Man Island being destroyed was very high.
"Hehe, we'll go back and have a go. Don't worry! Once we get to the New World, our two pirate crews will keep provoking Big Mom, and then they won't have the mind to bother Fish-Man Island anymore," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.
Since Four Emperors Big Mom is such a ferocious person, she would absolutely not allow anyone to insult her. And if they did so, it would undoubtedly be a provocation against her. Given Big Mom's personality, they would definitely launch an attack.
"Alright, but you guys need to be careful. Those guys are not to be trifled with," said the Minister of the Left, nodding.
Big Mom is one of the Four Emperors; just hearing that title tells you she's not someone to mess with. For Fanxin and Straw Hat Luffy to actively provoke her is a very dangerous thing to do.
"Hehe, it's alright. Alright, I'll be going now. We'll be leaving Fish-Man Island tomorrow, and it might be difficult to see each other again. Take care," Fanxin said with a smile.
He planned to stay another day because he wanted to go out to sea to catch fish and shrimp. They needed to eat fresh seafood, so this was the only way.
"Alright, we'll come to see you off together tomorrow." The Minister of the Left and said.
Fanxin Xin waved his hand, said no more, and immediately left for a distant place.
Back on the ship, Fanxin made some arrangements and got everyone ready to set sail the next day.
Afterwards, Fanxin took Ren Fang and several companions and went out to sea to fish for seafood.
After a day of frolicking in the sea, catching plenty of fish and shrimp, Fanxin was finally satisfied.
Back on the ship, they began to relax and rest.
The next morning, after Fanxin and the others finished breakfast, they set sail. The Straw Hat Pirates did the same.
They headed off into the distance. However, just as they were about to leave, the people of Fish-Man Island, along with members of the royal family, all appeared to see them off.
"Have a safe journey!" everyone shouted.
"Thank you very much, and please take care of yourselves," Fanxin said loudly.
After they finished speaking, they started waving to each other.
As time went by, the two ships drifted further and further apart, eventually disappearing into the open sea.
Once they reached the sea, Fanxin immediately instructed the Little Black Cat to command the robot to place the wooden block into the ocean.
These wooden blocks are quite special; they don't absorb water, yet their buoyancy is astonishing.
To get back to the surface from the seabed, they need an upward pulling force. And these wooden blocks can serve that purpose.
They're putting wooden blocks here, and the Straw Hat Pirates is doing the same thing.
The two ships were initially close together, but at that moment, the seabed suddenly began to tremble.
Moments later, something blood-red emerged from the seabed, turning the entire seabed red.
Fanxin looked down at the ground, his expression changed, and he shouted, "Quick! The underwater volcano has erupted! We must surface as soon as possible!"
An underwater volcano has erupted, and lava is heading straight for the bottom of their ship. If the bubble is destroyed, things will be in serious trouble.
"Okay." The Little Black Cat immediately instructed the robot to throw all the wooden blocks out. Due to the sudden increase in buoyancy, the ship was pulled and began to rush towards the sea.
The Straw Hat Pirates is in the same situation.
However, due to the volcanic eruption, the two pirate crews eventually separated, with the Straw Hat Pirates going far away, while Fanxin's ship remained in the vicinity.
"The Straw Hat Pirates is gone," Ren Fang said.
"Yes, but it's alright, they have a navigator over there, they definitely won't die," Fanxin said with a smile.
Nami's sailing skills are already very strong, and after two years of training, her abilities have become even more astonishing. He has great confidence that Nami will lead the Straw Hat Pirates well.
"And what about us?" Ren Fang said, "We don't even know where we are now."
"Whatever, wherever we end up, that's where we'll be. We've never been there before anyway, so let's just treat it as a vacation," Fanxin said with a smile.
He's not worried at all now, because he's done what he needed to do. Now, he's just waiting to make a name for himself in the New World and bring his parents back.
So now, he's not afraid of where they go.
"Alright, let's just wander around like this then!" Ren Fang saw that Fanxin had no plans, so she didn't bother to say anything more. She was just here for tourism anyway, so she would go wherever Fanxin went, and she didn't care about anything else.
And so they drifted along in the sea.
After two days of wandering, their peaceful life was disrupted once again. This time, it wasn't a volcanic eruption, but rather a tidal wave.
Countless waves swirled on the seabed, crashing against their ships and causing them to spin endlessly in the ocean.
They couldn't go up, nor could they go down; they were stuck in the middle of the sea.
"Damn it, what is this?!" Fanxin was exasperated. The boat kept spinning in circles, and they couldn't even stand up straight. If this continued, something bad could easily happen because the waves kept crashing against the bubbles.
Although bubbles are very resilient, they can still burst if they are hit repeatedly.
"I don't know, it just appeared out of nowhere, it must have come down from the sea," Ren Fang said.
"We can't let this continue, or Bubble will be finished," Fanxin said.
These things have been going on for a long time and haven't stopped. This worries Fanxin a lot; if it continues like this, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
"What should we do? This is the seabed, at least five thousand meters below the surface," Ren Fang said.
Upon hearing this, Fanxin pondered for a while before saying, "Let the Little Black Cat fire its air cannon to push the ship out of the waves. That way, we can sail normally."
They were now caught in a circular wave, and if the wave didn't stop, it would be difficult to get out. However, they waited for quite a while, but the wave still didn't stop.
If we keep waiting, it will definitely be very troublesome.
Therefore, Fanxin decided to use an air cannon to generate a huge thrust, pushing the ship out of the circular wave. Once that was done, things would be much easier.
"Okay," Ren Fang nodded and said.
Then she went to find the Little Black Cat. Without hesitation, the Little Black Cat immediately controlled the machine and fired an air cannon to one side.
The air cannons struck the seawater, generating a tremendous thrust that propelled the entire ship out of the waves.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the boat emerge from the waves.
"Speed up and head towards the sea. Otherwise, we'll be swept away again," Fanxin shouted.
Under Fanxin's rebuke, everyone sprang into action, steer their boats, and headed towards the horizon.
Eight hours later, they were back on the sea.
They had barely returned to the sea and hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when they encountered severe weather.
Hail, Raidен, and other storms all raged together, leaving them scrambling to react.
"Damn, this is truly New World; even the weather is so different," Fanxin said.
On the other side, although he had seen bad weather before, this was the first time he had ever seen weather this bad.
"We don't have a single real navigator on board, won't that cause problems?" Ren Fang said.
There were many people on board, but no navigators. They had survived the entire journey solely through their survival skills. Otherwise, they would have capsized long ago.
"What could possibly happen? Forget it, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. I refuse to believe I'll be defeated by this awful weather." Fanxin snorted unhappily and said, "Yuning, it's your turn. Get rid of this damn weather."
Yuning can control the weather in an area. With the weather so bad right now, her intervention is the perfect opportunity.
"Okay, no problem." Yuning nodded, and then she used her ability.
Moments later, the weather in the area changed dramatically; it was no longer a mix of Raidен and hail, but rather a light drizzle.
"We need to leave quickly, this won't last much longer," Yuning reminded her.
Although she can change the weather here, she cannot do so permanently. She can only control the weather for a limited time. However, if she loses control, the weather will revert to its original state.
"Okay, we'll be leaving soon." Fanxin Xin nodded. He also knew the flaw in Yuning's ability: after changing the weather here, you couldn't retract your ability. If you retracted your ability, the weather would return to normal.
Therefore, he cannot stay here for too long, otherwise, Yuning will not be able to hold on, and then they will suffer.
He immediately ordered the Little Black Cat to speed up and steer the boat away from the area.
The Little Black Cat immediately took control of the robot, revved it to full speed, and headed off into the distance.
Twenty minutes later, they left the area completely and arrived at a sunny spot.
"Alright, everyone, we're safe now. At the same time, I have something to announce: we've truly arrived in New World." Fanxin shouted, "From today onwards, we'll be engaged in constant battles. So, everyone, remember this: once the battle begins, give it your all and don't hold back, understand? Otherwise, if you're all stuck here, there's nothing I can do."
