Testing the Sword (3)

"Great!" Everyone cheered upon hearing this. They desperately needed Devil Fruit, and it would be wonderful if they could get one this time.

Their strength has increased significantly, and they will no longer hold their teammates back.

"Alright, you guys guard this place. If you still can't win, then hide in the sea." Fanxin nodded, then said nothing more and immediately led everyone towards the island.

They docked on an area covered by ice, so as soon as they got on, they felt the biting cold. Many people couldn't stand it, even though they had put on extra layers of clothing before coming to the island.

"Wang Yan, use your abilities. Since the climate of this island is man-made anyway, just change it for him," Fanxin Xin said immediately.

Originally, this was an island in the New World owned by the World Government, with a mild climate and spring-like weather all year round. However, after a terrible accident occurred here, the World Government completely abandoned it.

Later, when Akainu and Aokiji were about to fight, they chose this place. Since it was an abandoned place anyway, it was perfect as their battlefield.

Under the combined power of their abilities, this place was completely transformed into an Ice and Fire Island, unchanged year-round.

Right now, many people are shivering from the cold, and even adding more clothes doesn't help. If this continues, they probably won't even have the energy to fight.

Therefore, Fanxin asked Wang Yan to lend a hand, because Wang Yan's ability is magma, which has a restraining effect on ice.

"Alright, everyone, you can fly for now. I need to take care of things here." Upon hearing this, Wang Yan, without any squad members present, nodded slightly in agreement.

"Yes." Everyone nodded in unison, immediately donned their Flight Armor, and took to the air.

However, Fanxin and Bingfeng did not ascend to heaven, because they were not afraid of being affected.

They stood not far from Wang Yan, watching slowly.

Wang Yan took a few steps forward, and then she unleashed her power. She deepened the lava and began to rampage across the land.

On the ground, countless magma snakes slithered wildly. These snakes were all transformed from Wang Yan's body, and they were very large, each as thick as a water bucket.

They rushed in all directions, launching a fierce attack on the ice blocks. The magma serpents were incredibly hot; the ice blocks instantly vaporized upon contact.

A dozen minutes later, the ice on the ground began to melt, turning into flowing water.

The current is very strong; if you are not steady on your feet, you will definitely be swept away by the rapids.

However, neither Fanxin nor Bingfeng were afraid, because they were both powerful beings, and how could a few streams possibly wash them away?

An hour later, all the ice was destroyed, exposing the soil.

The temperature here immediately started to rise, and even wearing two layers of clothing felt incredibly hot.

"Hey, all of you, come down now, it's okay." Fanxin shouted into the sky, signaling the crew to come down.

Soon after, the crew members descended from the sky and came to Fanxin's side.

As soon as they came down, they started taking off their clothes because it was very hot around them. They had put on extra layers earlier, but now that the temperature had risen, they naturally couldn't stand it anymore.

They only stopped when they had stripped down to just a single layer of clothing.

"Alright, let's move forward!" Fanxin pointed ahead, then took the lead and walked forward.

Everyone followed closely behind.

They continued on their journey, not knowing how long they had walked, and Fanxin they saw many people. Their bodies were strange; they had human bodies, but their lower bodies were those of animals, making them very bizarre, like a combination of the two.

"Little Black Cat, have you ever seen someone like this? Is he in the files?" Fanxin asked curiously.

This is so strange; it's the first time he's ever seen someone like this.

"No, there's no record of such a person in the existing materials. It must be a new one." The Little Black Cat shook its head and said, "That's really strange. How can they be combined like this? It's obvious they're not the same kind of creature!"

It's very difficult for organisms of different species to combine. Their genes are incompatible! Just putting them together will cause rejection, and in that case, he'll be the one who suffers.

"It is indeed a bit strange, but their ability to combine so perfectly must have some secret," Fanxin said. "Never mind, this is none of our business. Let's go find the Straw Hat Pirates! More than ten days ago, they seemed to have encountered a lot of trouble. I wonder if they've escaped now."

"Do you think they might have been killed by that terrible gas?" the Little Black Cat wondered curiously.

"Hmph, if that's really the case, then he's not the Straw Hat Boy I know. He's far from dead. Alright, stop speculating. Once we get there, everything will be clear, won't it?" Fanxin Xin said with a smile.

Without seeing the facts, speculating is pointless. Therefore, he decided not to dwell on it.

"That makes sense, let's go! Let's see what's on this island!" The Little Black Cat agreed. So, without thinking further, it obediently perched on Fanxin's Fanxin and followed him forward.

Everyone else followed suit.

"Hey, where did you come from? Stop right there!" Just as they were walking forward, the strange figures in front of them all stared at them, weapons in their hands, glaring angrily, as if they were targeting Fanxin and the others.

"Hmm, you're going to stop me?" Fanxin Xin asked with a smile.

These people are strange, but in terms of strength, they are still inferior to him. It's unlikely that these guys can stop him.

"Kid, let me tell you, you better not come any closer. Get out of my way right now, or we'll show you what we're capable of," shouted a middle-aged man with only a tuft of hair on the top of his head. His lower body was that of a deer, and his upper body was attached to the neck of a deer.

Fanxin watched for a long time but still couldn't figure out the principle, wondering why humans and deer could blend together so perfectly.

"Hehe, sorry, we're here to get in, and we won't back down easily." Fanxin shook his head and said, "You guys go away, we don't want to hit you. However, if you insist, I absolutely won't hold back. You'd better think it over."

"What? You dare threaten me?" The man beneath him, who was in the form of a deer, was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"So what? Who do you think you are?" Fanxin said dismissively.

He's not afraid of even Admiral, so he wouldn't be afraid of these nobody soldiers.

"Get out of my way, I have things to do, don't block my way," Fanxin shouted. After saying that, he immediately walked forward, completely ignoring these people, as if they were invisible.

Fanxin's companions merely glanced at them before heading forward. As they passed by, they all let out a soft snort, their faces filled with disdain.

Upon hearing this, the strangely shaped beings were immediately indignant, for these guys were far too arrogant. They were the masters of this place, yet these creatures dared to disregard their existence; it was utterly despicable, utterly despicable.

"Stop! Stop right there!" they all shouted in unison.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin and the others ignored them completely and headed straight for the distance.

These strange beings were displeased. They drew their weapons and began to attack. Fanxin and the others ignored them, which thoroughly enraged them. They were now ready to teach Fanxin and the others a lesson.

"Bingfeng, take care of them." Fanxin said calmly, without pausing for a moment, and headed straight ahead.

"Understood." Bingfeng nodded, standing still until the attack from behind arrived.

As soon as the bullets flew over, the Bingfeng immediately created an ice wall, blocking all the attacks.

"Surround them!" Bingfeng shouted.

A moment later, the ice wall grew larger, transforming into a circular ice wall that trapped all those people inside. It seemed unlikely that they could escape in the short term.

After finishing, Bingfeng turned and left, ignoring those guys. As long as they didn't bother them, that was enough; they wouldn't pay any attention to them.

She drove all the way and soon caught up with the main group.

Fanxin didn't ask about the result, because he knew Bingfeng could definitely handle it. As for how she dealt with it, he wouldn't interfere, because that was her business.

Continuing on, they arrived at the top of a high mountain. Once there, Fanxin took out his binoculars and began to observe.

This place is quite large; he can't walk with his head down, or he might stray off course. If he ends up in another area, that would be troublesome.

"Boss, over there? Look, there are a lot of people over there." The Little Black Cat had sharp eyes and immediately spotted a tall building in the distance. It saw a large group of people gathered in front of the building, seemingly doing something.

"Oh, over there?" Upon hearing this, Fanxin immediately looked in that direction and indeed saw many people.

"What should we do now?" the Little Black Cat asked.

"I don't know the specifics either. Let's find Straw Hat Boy first!" Fanxin said.

Although he came here for the Devil Fruit, he doesn't know where Devil Fruit is. So, he can only look for people he knows.

Straw Hat Boy and Law arrived here first; once he finds them, he'll know the details.

"I see him! He's trapped. He's locked in an iron cage outside the building. Not just Straw Hat Boy, but also Law and Franky, oh, and Smoker too!" the Little Black Cat shouted.

"Arrested? Hmph, that idiot." Fanxin was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, truly at a loss for words.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's wait a bit and see how they plan to escape. I refuse to believe they'll be caught so easily. They must have a way to get out."

"Great! We've got nothing else to do, let's watch a good show!" the Little Black Cat said excitedly.

After saying that, it immediately lay down and watched intently. Everyone nodded and sat down as well.

"Hey, do you guys have any ideas? Are we just going to stay trapped like this?" Franky glanced at the people inside the iron cage in the center of the building's exterior and urged them on.

They were captured during their fight and are now about to be killed by poison gas. If they can't find a way to escape from the cage, things will get really bad.

As the poison gas drew ever closer, their lives were increasingly threatened.

"I can't help it, my handcuffs have Seastone on them, I don't have any strength." Straw Hat Luffy stuck out his tongue, looking utterly exhausted.

His hands were handcuffed, and the handcuffs were made of Seastone. He was a demon ability user, and once he was handcuffed with Seastone handcuffs, he would become an ordinary person.

Although he is very strong, he is now restricted and can only accept his fate.

"Hey, Law, do you have a solution? If you don't, we'll all die. I haven't become the Pirate King yet, it would be such a waste for me to die now." Straw Hat Boy Luffy asked immediately when he saw Law standing to the side.

"Haven't you even thought about how to escape?" Law asked, looking at the Straw Hat Boy.

"I hadn't thought about it," Straw Hat Boy said firmly. He spoke so seriously that Law didn't know what to say.

Upon hearing this, Luo could only manage a wry smile, saying, "You're the captain of this ship! Don't you want to think of a solution instead of just charging headlong into things?"

He was a little depressed, wondering if joining forces with the Straw Hat Pirates was a good decision. After all, the Straw Hat Boy were completely reckless!

He was so inconsiderate, attacking the enemy at the mere sight of them; he truly didn't know what to say.

"Hehe, that's Luffy. He can't stay in one place for more than five minutes. He never thinks about anything. If you try to make him think, his brain will explode," Franky said with a laugh.

"Ugh, I'm speechless," Luo said. "Fine, I'll use my method! Does anyone know how to completely cover up the area around us?"

"Cover it up? What do you mean?" Franky asked curiously.

"The key is to keep what we're doing in there! Like the black smoke, anything that can be kept secret from others is fine," Luo said.

"I can do that, but what's the point?" Franky asked, puzzled.

"Of course! We need to make them think we're dead so we can launch a surprise attack," Luo said. "If they believe we're dead, they won't be on guard, and we can take advantage of that to ambush them. Do you understand now?"
