Victory and Defeat (1)

"Hehe, don't praise me like that, I'll get embarrassed," Caesar said with a smile.

"Hmph, kid, don't laugh like that. No matter how powerful you are, you're still mine. You think you can escape? That's not going to happen." Fanxin warned, "If you dare to sneak away, I'll cut off your hands and feet."

"Even if you're a demon-wielding ability user, without hands and feet, your abilities probably won't be of much use, am I right?"

Users of special abilities generally need to use their hands to unleash their powers. For example, if Law didn't have hands, it would be impossible for him to wield Scalpel.

Therefore, by cutting off Caesar's hands and feet, Caesar's abilities were inevitably greatly diminished. This was inevitable. Otherwise, Caesar would never have allowed himself to be handcuffed.

He could have easily cut off his hands and escaped.

He stayed here obediently because he couldn't afford to lose his hands. If he lost his hands, he would be completely useless.

"I understand, I understand," Caesar said, his face contorted with grief.

His hands were now bound, making it difficult to break free. He wouldn't dare to act recklessly unless he wanted to die. Right now, he didn't want to die because he still had many things to finish.

"That's good. Just stay put and don't interrupt." Fanxin nodded and said. Caesar obediently sat in a corner and went about his own business.

"Speak!" Fanxin ignored Caesar and looked at Luo, asking.

"Although we've captured Caesar, it doesn't immediately make Kaido of the Beasts target Doflamingo. We still have a mission to complete. Once that's done, Kaido of the Beasts will definitely target Doflamingo," Law said. "Then, Doflamingo's doom will come."

The Four Emperors are incredibly powerful beings. Kaido of the Beasts dared to confront the Whitebeard Pirates head-on, which speaks volumes about his abilities.

Although Doflamingo's power is considerable, it is still somewhat inferior to that of the Four Emperors. Doflamingo also harbors some fear when facing Kaido.

Therefore, all they need to do is get Kaido of the Beasts to target Doflamingo, and that will be enough. At that point, Doflamingo will only have one path left: death.

"What mission? Tell me!" Fanxin nodded and asked.

"The Devil Fruit's origin is in the kingdom controlled by Doflamingo. We need to go there, destroy it, and that will be enough," Law said.

"Destroy? No way! I want that thing, just give it to me!" Fanxin said immediately upon hearing this.

He needs Devil Fruit. If those things are destroyed, he won't have any Devil Fruit anymore, which would be a significant loss for him.

"Sure, as long as it doesn't fall into Doflamingo's hands, there won't be any problem," Law nodded and said.

If that thing hadn't fallen into Doflamingo's hands, then Doflamingo wouldn't have been able to obtain Devil Fruit. Without Devil Fruit, he wouldn't be able to deliver on his promise to Kaido of the Beasts.

The end result is that Kaido of the Beasts will take his anger out on Doflamingo. Doflamingo will either give him the Devil Fruit or go to war with Kaido of the Beasts.

"Alright, I'll take that task," Fanxin said. "Any other tasks besides that?"

"Of course, we've reached the area controlled by Doflamingo. He'll definitely find out soon enough, and a major battle is inevitable. So, Woen, you all need to be prepared for battle," Law said.

"Leave the task of defeating Doflamingo to me!" Straw Hat Luffy chuckled and said.

He was conflicted about not being able to catch Caesar. So, he decided that since he couldn't capture Caesar, he would just beat up Doflamingo instead. That way, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

"Heh, you've got guts." Law chuckled and said, "However, we should try to avoid fighting Doflamingo; it would be a good thing for us."

"Why?" Luffy asked, puzzled.

"Because we defeated Doflamingo, Kaido of the Beasts will immediately target us. At that point, we'll have to fight a Four Emperors head-on," Law said. "Right now, it's a bit of a stretch for us to fight Four Emperors head-on. So, if we can avoid it, let's try to avoid it!"

The Four Emperors are terrifying; once they make a move, it will be earth-shattering. If they are targeted by the Four Emperors, they probably won't have a good life from now on.

"Not necessarily! We targeted Doflamingo, captured Caesar, and stole those Devil Fruits. Kaido of the Beasts will definitely hold a grudge against us. No matter what, they will still target us!" Fanxin Xin said, disagreeing.

They started this whole mess, Kaido of the Beasts will definitely come after them. So, he felt it didn't matter whether he avoided it or not.

"Heh, there's a huge difference between Doflamingo being dead and him not being dead," Law said. "In short, if we can avoid fighting Doflamingo, we should do so. Let him and Kaido of the Beasts fight like dogs! We'll just watch the show."

"Alright then! We'll do as you say." Fanxin looked at Straw Hat Luffy and said, "You should also restrain yourself, otherwise, things might get out of control."

Straw Hat Boy is prone to causing trouble, and once he gets going, it's practically impossible to stop him. Therefore, he's offering this reminder to Straw Hat Boy to be careful and not act recklessly.

"We'll see when the time comes!" Luffy said reluctantly.

He was about to punch Doflamingo, but everyone disagreed with directly engaging in battle with Doflamingo, which frustrated him greatly.

"Hehe, alright, that's enough. You can rest on my ship for now. Once my men have dealt with that Monet, we'll set sail." Fanxin smiled and said nothing more. The mission was already clear, so there was no need for him to say anything more.

Everyone nodded and sat quietly on the boat to wait.

Fanxin had Qiangwei bring over lots of delicious food, and everyone ate while waiting.

Fanxin himself flew into the sky to watch the battle on the island.

"Hmph, Monet, you'd better surrender! Otherwise, I'll make you understand what it means to regret it for the rest of your life," Wang Yan said with a snort.

"Heh, what a joke. You haven't even beaten me yet, and you're already spouting nonsense. Who do you think you are?" Monet scoffed, because she had been fighting Wang Yan for so long, and Wang Yan still hadn't managed to defeat her. Therefore, she felt that Wang Yan's strength was about the same as hers.

In this way, she naturally wouldn't need to listen to Wang Yan's words.

"Hmph, that was just a warm-up. Now I'm ready for the real fight. Are you sure you don't want to surrender? If you do, I might spare your life. But if you don't, I won't be so polite," Wang Yan said coldly.

"No need. If you want war, then let's fight. Enough with the nonsense." Monet said with a light snort.

Seeing that Monet remained so stubborn, Wang Yan grew displeased and said, "Fine, since you insist on going your own way, I won't say anything more. If you want to die, then I'll send you on your way!"

After saying that, Wang Yan immediately used his trump card: the Magma World.

In no time, the entire island was enveloped in blood-red lava. The sky was the same; somehow, this place had become a closed Magma World.

Wang Yan looked at Monet, who was trapped in the Magma World, and said, "You have no chance to retreat. Because you have thrown away the opportunity I gave you. Therefore, you only have one choice: to die. Understand?"

"Alright, I won't say another word to you. Now, I'm going to finish you off in one go."

As she spoke, Wang Yan manipulated the magma and began attacking Monet. At the same time, she was gradually shrinking the area of Magma World. In this way, she could easily attack her opponent.

Monet did not stop there, because she did not believe that Wang Yan could kill her.

She also used her abilities to resist the surrounding lava.

However, she was ultimately disappointed. The temperature was too high; as soon as she used her power, the snowflakes immediately melted into water and disappeared.

She can control snow, but not water. Therefore, her abilities are completely ineffective at this moment.

Wang Yan continued to narrow down the area of Magma World, getting closer step by step, which caused a slight change in Monet's expression.

She hesitated for a moment, then unleashed a blizzard in an attempt to blow the lava away. However, she ultimately failed as well.

Five minutes later, the Magma World shrank to an area of three meters in radius. Monet was completely forced in front of Wang Yan.

"Goodbye." Wang Yan glanced at Monet, then completely enveloped the Magma World. Countless magma gathered together, completely enveloping Monet.

A pitiful scream rang out, but it quickly faded away.

Everything returned to calm. Monet was burned to death by the lava.

Wang Yan slumped to the ground, her face pale. This was her trump card, which she usually avoided using because it was too taxing. She would always feel weak for a while after using it.

The more troublesome part is that if she uses this move and fails to trap her opponent, then she herself will be in trouble.

Therefore, she needs a long warm-up period, gradually luring her opponent into her battlefield. When the opponent is off guard, she launches a surprise attack, causing them to fall into her trap.

She hadn't used her trump card earlier because Monet was very wary. However, Monet finally let his guard down and she caught him red-handed.

If Monet hadn't been careless and had slipped away at the last second before she could make a move, then it would have been nearly impossible for her to trap the other person.

However, Monet was too arrogant and thought she could definitely defeat Wang Yan. As a result, she fell into a trap, and of course, she suffered a great loss because of her carelessness.

"Are you alright?" Just as Wang Yan collapsed to the ground, Fanxin descended from the sky and landed beside Wang Yan.

He had been watching closely; nothing Wang Yan did escaped his notice.

So, as soon as Wang Yan fell to the ground, he immediately knew and quickly came to Wang Yan's side.

"It's nothing, just a little exhausted," Wang Yan said.

"It seems this move has taken a heavy toll on you. From now on, you'll need to have a robot with you when you use this move," Fanxin said.

If this were a battlefield, Wang Yan would be in great danger if she became exhausted; she might even be surrounded and attacked by the enemy.

"Hehe, don't worry! I won't use this move unless absolutely necessary," Wang Yan said with a smile.

This move is very taxing, but if she doesn't use it, she'll be perfectly fine. In that case, it won't be effective for anyone to target her.

"Hehe, you should still be careful," Fanxin said. "It's better to be safe than sorry. I don't want to lose a combatant, understand?"

Wang Yan, Bingfeng, and Little Fox were the three main combat forces on his ship. He would be very worried if anything happened to any of them, because losing combat power would be a significant blow to him.

"Yes, I understand," Wang Yan nodded and said.

"Alright, let me take you back to the ship to rest!" Fanxin Xin immediately stepped forward, put her arm around Wang Yan, and said.

Wang Yan did not resist and let Fanxin hold him.

Fanxin, holding Wang Yan, flew up and finally reached the ship.

Once aboard the ship, Fanxin handed Wang Yan over to a robot, instructing it to escort Wang Yan back to his room to rest. He then went to Luo's side.

"Alright, now we can move out. Where's your pirate crew?" Fanxin asked.

"My pirate crew is elsewhere; I didn't bring them," Law said. "I'm here to deal with Doflamingo, and it's inconvenient to bring my subordinates."

He himself almost died earlier; luckily, he didn't bring his men with him, otherwise, they would all have faced certain death.

"Oh, I see. Okay then! Let's go." Fanxin nodded and said. After saying that, he had the Little Black Cat start the boat and head towards Dressrosa.

Straw Hat Boy, on the other hand, immediately returned to his ship.

The two pirate ships sailed side by side, heading off menacingly.

However, they were attacked not far away.

The attack came from the sky; three figures descended from the heavens and stopped not far in front of their ship.

Doflamingo.

Doflamingo.

Doflamingo.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the leader of the three, because that person was none other than their target, Donquixote Doflamingo.

They hadn't even gone to Dressrosa yet, but unexpectedly, Doflamingo himself came. This might change their mission.
