The Surprise Attack Begins (3)

"Hey, Caesar, then don't resist. You're going to get caught anyway, so why bother?" Fanxin said to Caesar with a grin.

What he said is absolutely true. If Luffy can't handle it, Fanxin will catch him himself. If neither of them can, they can just attack at the same time.

He's no good anymore; Caesar can fly, can't he?

"What? You want me to surrender? You little bastards think you can catch me? Do you think that's possible?" Caesar said with a slight sneer.

"Hmph, who do you think you are? I haven't even made a move yet, and you're already looking down on me like this?" Fanxin snorted and said, "Let me tell you, don't think that just because you're so powerful, I'm not afraid of you."

"If you're capable, hurry up and defeat Straw Hat Boy. I'm getting impatient waiting for you to do so."

"Hey, you want him to beat me? Whose side are you on?!" Straw Hat Boy was a little annoyed. Wasn't Fanxin cursing him to lose?

"Hey, I'm just trying to encourage you. You have to keep it up!" Fanxin said.

"Don't rush!" The Straw Hat Boy was a little annoyed. Because Caesar's abilities were special, he would need to put in some effort to win; otherwise, things would really get complicated.

After observing for a while, Fanxin realized that Caesar was not someone to be trifled with. So, he didn't say anything more and just watched quietly.

Just as Fanxin was waiting, a figure flew in. As soon as she entered, the temperature in the entire room dropped significantly.

It was a woman with long, wavy, grass-green hair, golden eyes, and her left eye was often covered by her bangs. She was a beautiful woman with a graceful figure. She had a gentle personality, and her unique laughter was "Ooh-ho-ho-ho." Her hands and feet were the wings and claws of a bird, and she would transform into a giant bird monster when fighting.

Countless snowflakes floated around her, seemingly obeying her every command, as if they were an integral part of her body.

"Who are you?" Fanxin looked at the other person and asked with a solemn expression.

This woman is extraordinary; she must possess formidable strength, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to be with Caesar.

"I am Monet," the woman said, smiling as she looked at Fanxin.

"What are you doing here? This is none of your business. Go away," Fanxin waved his hand and said.

He dislikes hitting women because, in his eyes, women have always been a vulnerable group.

"I'm here to help him, of course," Monet said, pointing at Caesar. "Please don't stop me."

Her voice was incredibly seductive; an ordinary person might have been tempted. However, Fanxin was no ordinary person. Therefore, he showed no change in expression.

"You'd better leave, or I won't be so polite," Fanxin said.

There was no smile on his face, because he couldn't possibly let Caesar go; he had to capture him, as long as Caesar wanted the Devil Fruit.

He was determined to have Caesar, and he would not back down no matter who tried to stop him.

"You're not exactly chivalrous either," Monet said with a smile.

"I'd like to, but you won't let me. So, there's nothing I can do."

Fanxin said, "Get out of here. I don't want to hit a woman, but if there's absolutely no other way, then I won't be polite."

He was telling the other person that he doesn't usually hit women, but if a woman persists in harassing him, he won't be polite.

"Heh, what a boastful tone. Come on then, I want to see if you can stop me." Monet scoffed.

"Looks like you've decided to fight, right?" Fanxin said coldly, looking at Monet.

"Not bad," Monet nodded and said.

"Alright, since you insist on fighting, I'll play along!" Fanxin nodded, drew his diamond knife, and looked at Monet, saying, "Are you sure you want to do this? You won't regret it?"

He really didn't want to hit a woman, even though she was an enemy. If she obediently retreated, he would absolutely not chase after her.

"You talk too much nonsense," Monet scoffed.

"Alright! It seems I really did talk too much." Seeing Fanxin the other party remained stubborn, Fan Xin knew that nothing he said would be of any use. Since that was the case, he was too lazy to say anything more.

After shutting his mouth, Fanxin launched his attack.

Seeing Fanxin rushing over, Monet immediately disappeared, leaving only a sky full of snowflakes. Fanxin was stunned for a moment, then used his Haki to sense his surroundings and quickly found the other's trail.

"Oh, I see, your ability is snow, right!" Fanxin said with a smile.

"Not bad, I am the owner of the Snow-Snow Fruit, Logia Devil Fruit. Kid, you're no match for me," Monet said smugly.

"Hmph, it's just a Devil Fruit? I don't even consider it a threat." Fanxin said, "You'd better watch out, I'm about to make my move."

He's already fought the Glint-Glint Fruit, so he's not afraid of a Snow-Snow Fruit. Therefore, Monet's smugness is nothing but self-deception.

"I'm going to make my move too," Monet said with a smile. Then, she immediately manipulated the snow to trap Fanxin.

She created an inverted white bowl and covered Fanxin on the ground.

Fanxin pressed the bowl with his hand and found that although it was made of snow, it was very hard and not fragile at all.

"Hmph, you think you can bind me like this? How laughable." Fanxin snorted lightly, then swung his diamond knife, slashing forward.

He cleaved the large bowl in two and then ran out of it.

"Hmm, it seems this won't be enough to deal with you," Monet said, somewhat surprised.

She thought this would keep Fanxin from fighting, because she didn't want to fight Fanxin anymore. Now, she had urgent business with Caesar, and if she were to engage in a life-or-death struggle with Fanxin, she wouldn't have time to take Caesar with her.

However, now she knows that Fanxin is very powerful, and it will be extremely difficult for her to easily subdue Fanxin.

"Hehe, bring on something powerful, otherwise you won't be able to defeat me," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Fine." Monet seemed to be enraged by Fanxin. She immediately unleashed her ultimate move, Blizzard.

A blizzard swirled in the room, making everyone uncomfortable.

Straw Hat Boy was swept away by the blizzard, as was Caesar.

Although Fanxin had gained a foothold, getting close to Monet was no longer easy for him. The snowstorm was too severe, preventing him from advancing.

"Heh heh, come and kill me then, come and kill me then, you can't do it, can you?" Monet chuckled, feeling quite smug.

"Don't get cocky," Fanxin said coldly.

"Then come over here," Monet said.

"Hmph, as you wish." Fanxin snorted lightly, then drew his Dragon-Slaying Sword and threw it over.

"Attack!" Fanxin shouted.

Moments later, the Dragon-Slaying Sword transformed into countless crimson dragons, which launched a frenzied attack and flew through the blizzard.

"Ah..." A few minutes later, a scream came from the blizzard.

Upon hearing Fanxin, Fan Xin grinned, knowing that the Dragon-Slaying Sword had struck the woman.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword can transform into countless blood-red dragons, whose dense attacks are impossible to defend against.

Therefore, he believed that the Dragon-Slaying Sword would definitely be able to defeat the opponent.

The blizzard stopped very quickly.

Monet reappeared, looking at Fanxin with obvious displeasure. Clearly, she was furious that Fanxin had injured her.

"Hehe, you're very angry, huh? I'm sorry. I had no choice but to retaliate." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "Alright, Caesar's not here anymore, I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."

His target was Caesar, and he had no intention of fighting to the death with a woman. So, he immediately released Monet and flew off in the direction Caesar had gone.

"Hmph, how despicable." Monet didn't give chase, because Fanxin already possessed something that could harm her. Going over now would undoubtedly only result in her suffering a loss.

Monet then immediately left, heading off to a distant place.

Fanxin Xin raced on, finally finding Caesar. But by then, Straw Hat Luffy was gone, blown away by a blizzard somewhere unknown.

Fanxin looked at Caesar and was overjoyed. Now he could finally have a proper fight with him.

"Hehe, is Caesar ready?" Fanxin looked at Caesar and said with a smile.

"One leaves, another comes; it's utterly infuriating!" Caesar said irritably. "You just wait, I won't let you get away with this."

"Then come on." Fanxin Xin chuckled, brandishing his longsword as he charged towards Caesar.

Caesar also drew a sword and began to fight against Fanxin.

The two were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Suddenly, Caesar used his power to suck all the oxygen out of the surrounding space.

Fanxin suddenly felt like he wasn't getting enough oxygen, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Hehe, I can manipulate a space and turn this area into a vacuum. You won't have oxygen and won't last long. But I'll be fine," Caesar said with a laugh.

Fanxin watched without speaking. He was currently oxygen-deprived, his mouth agape, holding his last breath.

"Heh heh, speechless now! Now, I can completely crush you." Caesar smiled smugly and headed towards Fanxin.

"I can say it," Fanxin said, then took out a coral. He blew a bubble and covered his head with it.

This bubble has plenty of oxygen inside; it can sustain it for a while.

Seeing that Fanxin was able to breathe again, Caesar became displeased.

"You bastard, how dare you play me like that? You're asking for it!" Caesar roared in fury and launched another attack.

Now that Fanxin was no longer restricted, his fighting became quite natural. And so, Fanxin and his opponent clashed once again.

Seeing that he couldn't overcome the Fanxin for a long time, Caesar prepared to flee, because fighting the enemy would delay his important business.

He has to leave, otherwise, if something happens, he'll be in big trouble.

He created a super-large air bomb and threw it at Fanxin, but then took the opportunity to escape.

After dodging the bomb, Fanxin went to look for Caesar, only to find that Caesar had vanished.

"Damn, that's really cunning. But don't think you can escape like that; that's highly unlikely." Fanxin released his Haki and began to sense, preparing to search for Caesar's whereabouts.

"Yes, they're up ahead." Fanxin immediately changed direction and rushed forward.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, Fanxin arrived at the entrance of a large laboratory.

He saw Caesar inside; Caesar was taking the elevator to another place.

Seeing Fanxin approaching, he immediately unleashed an air bomb, launching a frenzied attack on Fanxin, preventing Fanxin from getting close.

"Damn it, don't think you can get away. You can't escape!" Fanxin shouted.

"Hehe, this is a laboratory made of Seastone, you can't break it open. You can just wait outside and wait for the poison gas to arrive," Caesar said with a laugh.

After saying that, Caesar immediately pressed a button on the building.

Soon after, a lot of poisonous gas crossed the corridor sealed off by ice and headed towards this place.

Fanxin sensed with his Haki that the poison gas had entered from elsewhere, and his expression immediately darkened. He knew that Caesar wanted the poison gas to kill them and didn't want to deal with them personally.

"You wait, I'll make you understand the consequences of fooling me," Fanxin Xin said coldly.

"Fool you? Hmph, you're not qualified. Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you anymore. I'm going to see the show. Goodbye." Caesar waved, took the elevator, and left.

Fanxin could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything. This entire area was constructed of Seastone, which his sword couldn't cleave through. Seastone was incredibly hard, harder than anything else.

However, Fanxin did not retreat. He was determined to capture Caesar; Caesar was right before his eyes, how could he give up?

He immediately donned his Flight Armor and soared into the sky.

Once they reached the ceiling, Fanxin swung his diamond knife and slashed down.

Moments later, a crack appeared where the window was.

"Hehe, this isn't Seastone structure, that's good." Fanxin Xin grinned, and finally climbed in through the window.

From afar, Caesar saw Fanxin's actions and was furious. He had originally thought that the room made of Seastone would stop Fanxin. But now, Fanxin had gotten there first and was on the rooftop—wasn't this blocking his way?

"Damn it, this is infuriating!" Caesar was furious. However, he could only swallow his anger. What could he do now that things had come to this?

Once Fanxin reached the top, he waited for Caesar in the corridor. This was Caesar's usual route, so he believed Caesar would definitely come. Just as he predicted, Caesar arrived shortly afterward.

When Caesar saw Fanxin, he was furious and wanted nothing more than to tear him apart Fanxin.
