Victory and Defeat (3)

Inside Wolf Valley, Yuning was playing with the children. They were having a great time and weren't shy at all.

Fanxin walked up to Qiangwei and asked in a low voice, "Are the children alright?"

Previously, these children had been in a state of fear. They were still children, and after being so frightened, they must have been unable to remain calm. He was somewhat worried about their condition.

"Don't worry! The children are all doing well and have completely forgotten about what happened earlier," Qiangwei said. "However, there's a problem now that will cause serious trouble if it's not resolved."

"Oh, what's the trouble?" Fanxin asked curiously.

"These children were originally normal children; they weren't naturally this tall. They were all induced to grow this size using drugs. Their bodies have been severely damaged. If they don't receive treatment, it will be very troublesome."

Qiangwei said, "The children get sick every now and then, and the pain is unbearable. At that time, they need to continue taking that medicine to relieve the pain. If they don't take those medicines, they will go crazy, and at that time, they may do something irreversible."

She had observed them beforehand, so she knew all this. And because she knew, she was even more worried. Because if things weren't handled properly, these children could very well die.

"Damn it, it's all Caesar's doing. He actually used ordinary children for research. It's utterly heinous," Fanxin said unhappily.

"Yes, what Caesar fed them seems to be a kind of strength-enhancing drug. However, the side effects of that drug are severe; the children will die once they reach adulthood. Right now, we have no way to save them," Qiangwei sighed.

"What should we do then? I was planning to find a place for the children," Xiao Fan said.

He was going to send the children away because it was too dangerous for them to stay with him. They might very well die.

He has taken these children to a safe place, where they can live peacefully.

However, now that he heard about this, he was conflicted. These children had health problems, and even if he sent them to a safe place, they wouldn't be able to live peacefully.

This put him in a very difficult position, and he didn't know what to do.

"Not yet, Fanxin. If you send them away now, it's the same as letting them perish on their own," Qiangwei immediately said.

The children have health problems and need to be treated. Once they are cured, they can send the children away, and then there will be no problem. The children can live peacefully and safely.

If they send the children away now, then the children will only have time to die.

"I understand that, but what should I do to save them?" Fanxin Xin asked, somewhat frustrated.

He wasn't a doctor, so he couldn't possibly treat them! Therefore, he could only watch.

"Go find Law. Law is Devil Fruit User; he can cure illnesses that others can," Qiangwei said. "I asked Senior Li Kecheng earlier, and he said he couldn't help either. The children have been taking this for so long that it's reached an irreversible stage. It's like drug addiction; once you're addicted, it's very difficult to get rid of it easily."

"Senior, is there no other way? It seems I have no choice but to go and ask Luo E for help," Fanxin nodded and said.

The Devil Fruit User is indeed quite extraordinary; he had to admit it.

"Alright, let's make other plans after we see Luo!" Qiangwei said.

"Yes, you should arrange for more robots to stay here and keep an eye on things, understand?" Fanxin said.

These children haven't recovered yet and are prone to going berserk. Qiangwei alone probably won't be able to control them.

"Hehe, I've already made all the arrangements, look?" Qiangwei pointed to the flags around her and said with a smile.

"Oh, so you're planning to shrink these children and then deal with them, right!" Fanxin glanced around and saw many flags planted in the ground. Instantly, he understood Qiangwei's intention.

Qiangwei's ability allows her to shrink large objects instantly, bringing them into her control area, and then she uses them against them.

In this way, the opponent becomes smaller, and even a small attack from her can be magnified countless times, causing the opponent to suffer a great loss.

Qiangwei was prepared, and clearly, she knew these children were going to be a problem. Right now, they were playing happily and being friendly with each other because their illness hadn't flared up.

Once their illness flares up, they'll immediately turn on you, which is terrifying.

"Yes, don't worry, I'll take care of things here. But you'll have to handle things outside," Qiangwei nodded and said.

"Yes, I'll take care of things outside. Please look after these children for me," Fanxin nodded and said.

Qiangwei nodded, indicating that she understood.

Without further hesitation, Fanxin Xin immediately left Wolf Valley and went outside.

Once outside, Fanxin found Caesar and asked, "What are you feeding the children? Is there any hope?"

This is the person who manufactures the medicine; he's asking the other person to find out about the children's current situation.

The children are so pitiful; they're so young, yet they've been tortured like this. This really upset him.

"There's no hope. My purpose in studying them was to train a group of warriors with superhuman strength."

Caesar said, "Their bodies have become enormous, and their strength has increased accordingly. They are the best warriors. If you don't give them drugs, they will go berserk, and at times, they will attack their opponents wildly, and no one can stop them."

"With these warriors, the country will possess formidable military power. My goal is to research and develop this technology, then sell it to those countries; that can generate a lot of money."

After saying this, Caesar revealed a smug smile, clearly very satisfied with his masterpiece.

Fanxin the smile on the other person's face, Fan Xin felt even more annoyed. This guy had done such a despicable thing and was so proud of it. He really didn't know where the other person's conscience had gone.

"Are you sure there's no cure?" Fanxin didn't hit him, but asked calmly.

The damage is done, and beating him up now won't change anything. So, he's too lazy to bother.

"I'm sure not, but if it's Luo, perhaps there are still some ways," Caesar said after a moment's thought.

"Oh, why do you say that?" Fanxin's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked. If there really was a way, he would be very happy, because he wanted the children to live well.

"Because Law can use Scalpel to cut off damaged parts of the children's bodies, and he can also restore the cut bodies to their original state. That's the power of the Op-Op Fruit," Caesar said.

"Oh, I see." Fanxin nodded and asked, "What are the chances of success?"

"I don't know, we'll have to try to find out," Caesar said.

"Alright, I'll go find Luo right away. You stay quietly in the space, understand? If you cause any trouble, my Diamond Beast will definitely deal with you," Fanxin said coldly.

That bastard is despicable. If it weren't for the fact that he was still useful to me, Fanxin would definitely have killed him.

"Understood, I definitely won't do anything reckless," Caesar said dejectedly. He was now living under someone else's roof and had no choice but to behave himself, otherwise, he would be in big trouble.

After throwing Caesar into the Diamond Space, Fanxin said nothing more. Then, he sat at the bow of the ship and directed it forward.

Following Fanxin's instructions, the Little Black Cat adjusted the course, and in this way, the ship gradually headed towards Dressrosa.

A month later, Fanxin and the others arrived not far from Dressrosa. However, they did not go in immediately.

"Fanxin, what's your plan?" Ren Fang asked.

She was asking Fanxin who was allowed to go to the island. They needed to make arrangements because this was Doflamingo's territory. It was unlikely that they could all go.

Once Doflamingo discovers their whereabouts, he will inevitably launch an attack. Their goal is to silently infiltrate Dressrosa and obtain what they desire.

"We shouldn't send too many people into Dressrosa. After thinking about it, I've decided that Jesse, Ren Fang, Bingfeng, and Little Black Cat will come with me. The rest of you should stay off the island and wait outside!" Fanxin pondered for a moment and then said, "All matters on the ship are entrusted to Haicheng, Wang Yan, and Little Fox. Understand?"

"Understood," everyone nodded and said.

"Very well, we'll be going now. You can do as you please." Fanxin nodded, and then the four of them put on their Flight Armor and flew towards Dressrosa.

Wang Yan and the others sailed away from here to a distant place.

Fanxin led the group to the island, but instead of acting immediately, they observed their surroundings. They had never been here before, and if they acted recklessly, they would surely suffer a great loss.

"What should we do?" Bingfeng asked.

"This is tricky; there's something strange about this place," Fanxin said. "Be careful and don't do anything reckless, understand? Otherwise, we could easily fall into a trap."

He sensed that although the place appeared peaceful, it was filled with resentment; clearly, it was not a peaceful place.

"Understood, whatever you say, we'll do it," everyone said.

"Let's go for a stroll," Fanxin said.

No one had any objections. Then, everyone followed Fanxin into the main street of Dressrosa.

This place is bustling with people. Not only that, it's also a gathering place for pirates; Fanxin has seen many pirates here.

"Huh, where are Straw Hat Boy and the others? Why don't we see them?" the Little Black Cat asked curiously. They had come here to look for Straw Hat Boy and Law, but they hadn't found them, which puzzled them.

"Don't worry, I'll use my Haki to sense them. As long as they're on this island, I'll definitely be able to find them," Fanxin said.

Everyone nodded and waited on the side.

Fanxin Xin immediately used his Haki to sense the situation of the entire island, and after a moment, he opened his eyes.

"How was it?" Ren Fang asked curiously.

"Straw Hat Boy is in the arena, Sanji is with a woman, and Zoro is wandering around," Fanxin said. "However, I didn't see Law; I wonder where he went."

"That should be fine. Law came here on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship, so if the Straw Hat Pirates are here, Law will be here too," Ren Fang said. "Let's go find Straw Hat Boy now! Then, we'll discuss our battle plan."

"Hmm, that makes sense. Let's go to the arena." Fanxin Xin nodded in agreement.

Then they headed towards the arena.

"Huh, there's a toy! It can move and talk. Is it like my robot?" The Little Black Cat had been bored. But suddenly it saw something very strange—a toy.

Those things can dance, talk, and play games with people. Its robot can do that too, so it feels somewhat similar to its own robot.

"That one is different from yours," Fanxin said immediately after glancing at it.

"Oh, why?" the Little Black Cat asked, puzzled.

"Your things have no soul, they're just some consciousness. But these toys have souls," Fanxin said. "I'm certain there's a living being inside these toys, I just don't know how they were made."

He is a member of the Soul Clan, so he can clearly sense the soul within the toy.

"Oh, they use living beings as toys? That's awful," said the Little Black Cat.

"Yeah, that's why I think Dressrosa is weird. There must be some unspeakable secret hidden here," Fanxin said. "Alright, let's not worry about that for now. Let's go find Straw Hat Boy! That guy has no sense of crisis at all. What time is it? He's still fighting in the arena. I really don't know what to say to him."

"That's just how that kid is, don't you know that?" Ren Fang said with a grin. "Luckily, his crew can put up with him, otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do."

She was really getting fed up with Luffy because he was such a handful.

He always likes to make a fuss. What should be an easy task will definitely be turned into a mess if it falls into his hands.

"He's lucky to have so many good friends," Fanxin said. "Forget it, that kid likes to cause trouble, let him do it. We'll just watch the show from the sidelines."
