Victory and Defeat (2)

Their original mission was to go to Dressrosa and destroy the factories that produced Devil Fruit.

After they'd settled things, they'd escape Dressrosa and have Doflamingo explain things to Kaido of the Beasts. If they couldn't explain, a fight would break out, which was exactly what they wanted.

However, now that Doflamingo has personally come here and blocked their way, they are forced to confront Doflamingo.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to get through at all.

"Heh, you bunch of little bastards, you're ruthless enough. You destroyed my territory, killed my men, and even captured my people. Tell me, how am I supposed to deal with you?" Doflamingo said with a chuckle.

Although he was smiling, anyone could see that it was a cold laugh. He had suffered a great loss; how could he possibly be smiling so happily?

"How did you get here?" Law's face was grim. He had originally planned to go to Dressrosa and destroy the factory. But now that Doflamingo had arrived, they were in trouble.

"Hmph, my men called me, so of course I had to come," Doflamingo said. "You bunch of Joker, you think nothing's wrong just because I didn't come? Let me tell you, you're in big trouble. You've messed with me, and none of you will live."

"Heh, we were just about to look for you, but you delivered yourself right to our doorstep," Luo said. "Since you're here, let's settle things here!"

After saying that, Luo prepared to make his move.

However, just as he was about to make a move, Fan Fanxin stopped him.

"What are you doing?" Luo asked, annoyed that Fanxin had stopped him.

"Hehe, I'll leave him to him. You and the Straw Hat Pirates go to Dressrosa first. Once you get there, cause some trouble!" Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

"Hmm, are you going to stay and deal with him alone?" Luo asked.

"Just keep him occupied, now is not the time to fight to the death," Fanxin said. "Don't worry, I'll stay behind to deal with him, just keep him occupied. When he sees you leave, he'll definitely get angry and give chase. But by then, you'll be far enough away that it will be very difficult for him to find you. By doing this, you can go to Dressrosa safely."

"He's gone after you, so I'll be fine! I'll follow later, and that way we can both get rid of Doflamingo and eventually reach Dressrosa. Isn't that right?"

He no longer wants to fight Doflamingo, because this is at sea, and if he fights him head-on, he'll be at a disadvantage.

However, once on land, he won't hold back; he'll definitely take action and challenge Doflamingo to a duel.

"I see! Okay, I know what to do then." Luo nodded and said.

"Alright, I'll take you to the Straw Hat Pirates' ship." Fanxin nodded, then went to the ship's side, saw Straw Hat Luffy, and shouted, "Hey, Luffy, you and Law go first, use the Coup de Vent, understand?"

The Straw Hat Pirates' ships have a type of cannonball that can propel the ship a kilometer away in an instant.

Even if Doflamingo is incredibly fast, it's highly unlikely he could catch up with the Straw Hat Pirates in such a short time.

Furthermore, he's keeping Doflamingo occupied here, which makes their situation even worse.

"Ah, weren't we supposed to defeat Doflamingo? He's already here, so let's just beat him up then," Straw Hat Boy said, sounding a bit displeased. His goal was to defeat Doflamingo, and now that the opponent was here, it was the perfect opportunity.

"Enough talk, take Luo and leave immediately." Fanxin said, "Don't be reckless. This isn't a place to fight. If you fall into the sea, you're dead, understand?"

Demon-wielders cannot land in the sea because they are not good swimmers. They are currently in the middle of the ocean, which is extremely disadvantageous for them.

Therefore, they can only temporarily avoid this situation and look for new opportunities.

"Oh, alright then!" Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat Boy hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Although he acted recklessly, he was definitely not a fool. Doflamingo could fly in the air, while they could only stand on the ship.

If their ships are destroyed, they won't even have a place to stand.

Therefore, they have no choice but to leave now.

"Luo, go back," Fanxin said.

Luo nodded, and then immediately jumped onto the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.

After Law passed by, Fanxin went to the bow of the ship, looked at Doflamingo, and said, "Today I'll be your opponent. Don't make any sudden moves, understand? Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble."

He was warning Doflamingo to focus all his attention on him. If he got distracted, he would definitely suffer a great loss.

Doflamingo chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Trying to cover their escape? Heh, let me tell you, you can't do it."

"Whether I can get it done or not is my business. You don't need to worry about it," Fanxin said. "However, there's one thing you must be careful about: if you dare to lay a hand on them, you'll suffer the consequences."

"Alright, let's give it a try," Doflamingo said.

"Hehe, then we'll wait and see!" Fanxin snorted lightly, then gave the Little Fox a wink, signaling it to prepare.

The Little Fox understood, and then he stood at attention, ready to act at any moment.

Soon after, the Straw Hat Pirates was ready, and their ship took to the air, propelled by the Coup de Vent.

Doflamingo immediately prepared to launch an attack. However, at that moment, the Little Fox used its gravity to pull Doflamingo to the side of the ship.

Fanxin wasn't idle either; he immediately drew his diamond sword and unleashed two sword slashes to attack Doflamingo.

Bingfeng wasn't idle either; she unleashed countless Ice Spike, attacking Doflamingo.

With so many people attacking at once, Doflamingo couldn't concentrate on giving chase. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the Straw Hat Pirates disappeared from sight.

Doflamingo's expression immediately turned cold, because his Fanxin had interfered with his actions, which angered him greatly.

"Kid, since they're gone, you can die in their place," Doflamingo said. "Don't blame me, you asked for it."

"Heh, stop talking big. I, Fanxin, am not someone to be trifled with. You think you can just bully me like that?"

Fanxin said, "Now that they're gone, I can play with you. Tell me, what do you want to play?"

"Hmph, you want to keep me occupied and prevent me from chasing them? Kid, what exactly do you want?" Doflamingo immediately asked.

He sensed that Fanxin and the Straw Hat Pirates were plotting a grand scheme, though he was unaware of it.

However, he could guess that this grand plan would be extremely disadvantageous to him.

"Nothing much! We just want to kill Caesar, destroy the factory, and make you fight Kaido of the Four Emperors. It's nothing serious, don't take it too seriously." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "Oh, by the way, I heard Four Emperors Kaido very powerful. Between you and him, who is stronger? I'm really looking forward to it."

He couldn't wait for Doflamingo to go to war with Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, so he could watch a good show.

"What? You want me to go to war with Kaido?" Doflamingo frowned immediately upon hearing this, his whole body radiating murderous intent.

Kaido is incredibly powerful, a truly terrifying being. If he were to fight Kaido, his chances of winning would be slim. If he were defeated, he would be in dire straits.

The Navy and other pirate crews will swarm in and divide him up.

They all wished he were dead. If he were dead, all the territory he controlled would fall into their hands.

The New World is a place of competition; if you lose, you're out. If you win, you get what others have.

Therefore, he generally avoids war with the Four Emperors, as it would be a losing proposition for him.

He cannot defeat the Four Emperors with 100% certainty, and if he does, he will pay a heavy price. Therefore, he maintains a high degree of restraint with the Four Emperors, avoiding war whenever possible.

Now, however, Fanxin and the others are about to break this tacit understanding, which makes him somewhat uneasy. If Kaido towards his territory, he will suffer huge losses.

This is no small matter; it's a big deal.

"Not bad, your factory was destroyed, and Caesar was killed. Heh, you have nothing left to make Devil Fruit. I heard you were doing business with Kaido, and even promised to send him a batch of Devil Fruit."

Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "And if you can't keep your promise, then... you should understand the consequences yourself."

Kaido is not known for his good temper. If Doflamingo cannot keep his promise, it's tantamount to Doflamingo giving him a perfunctory answer. Given Kaido's temper, he certainly won't let Doflamingo off easily.

At that point, the two pirate crews might go to war.

"You bunch of bastards, you're asking for it!" Doflamingo roared, furious.

By doing this, Fanxin Xin and the others have completely pushed him to the opposite side of Kaido. Originally, he and Kaido were allies, and they could help each other if they encountered trouble in the future.

However, if this really happens, then he and Kaido will have no choice but to part ways.

"Hehe, I'm not so easy to kill," Fanxin said. "Oh, by the way, the Straw Hat Pirates have already headed towards Dressrosa. Their goal is to destroy the factory that manufactures Devil Fruit. You, as their king, probably can't stop them from doing so here."

He was telling Doflamingo that if he didn't leave, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he should know what he had to do.

After saying that, Fanxin sat at the bow of the boat, leisurely drinking red wine, with an expression that said, "Do whatever you want."

Enraged, Doflamingo pondered for a moment, then immediately took two of his men and left, heading straight for Dressrosa.

The factory absolutely cannot be destroyed; once it is, rebuilding it will be extremely difficult.

So, after a moment's thought, he decided to return to Dressrosa to guard the city in case anything went wrong.

As for Fanxin, he wasn't in a hurry, because there was plenty of time. He could deal with Fanxin after he had dealt with the Straw Hat Pirates, which would be much easier.

Because at that time, he didn't have to face three forces!

Doflamingo quickly disappeared from the scene.

"Boss, why not just kill him completely? That way, Doflamingo's forces would be practically destroyed. We'd also have one less enemy in the New World," the Little Black Cat asked, puzzled.

Fanxin is powerful, Bingfeng is not weak either, and the Little Fox is also present. He felt that the three of them working together should have no problem dealing with Doflamingo.

The three of them working together should be able to defeat Doflamingo. However, Fanxin didn't do so, which puzzled him.

"Heh, now is not the time for fighting. We'll have plenty of opportunities to fight once we get to Dressrosa," Fanxin said. "We're allies, why should we take everything on ourselves? We won't gain anything by defeating Doflamingo. And if we lose, we'll suffer losses. So why don't we wait until we act together to deal with Doflamingo?"

It's not that he doesn't want to fight, but that he can't fight for the time being. Now that he's defeated Doflamingo, it's completely useless.

First of all, is Doflamingo so easy to deal with? He managed to establish himself in the New World and even Kaido of the Beasts. That's enough to show how powerful he is.

If Doflamingo wants to escape, it will be difficult for him to stop him.

However, if he gets to Doflamingo's territory, he won't run away. Because that's his territory, and he'll hold out until the very end.

Once he gets there, he'll be fighting Doflamingo to the death, which makes things easier. Doflamingo doesn't run away, then he can unleash his full power to deal with Doflamingo.

"I see. Alright, since that's how it is, I won't say any more. I'll listen to you." The Little Black Cat nodded silently and said.

Although it still didn't quite understand, it was clear that Fanxin's words made sense. Therefore, it decided to listen to Fanxin.

"Alright, let's set sail! We'll slowly make our way to Dressrosa. By the time we get there, the battle will probably have already begun," Fanxin said. "Then we'll join the fight."

"Understood." The Little Black Cat nodded, then started the boat and headed straight for Dressrosa.

Fanxin returned to Wolf Valley to visit the children. He planned to find a place to properly settle them, as it was inconvenient to keep them with him.

If he encounters a formidable opponent and also has to take care of his children, it will be quite a difficult situation for him.
