Flame-Flame Fruit (2)

"Oh, you're interested in the Flame-Flame Fruit too?" Luffy chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely get it."

That was his elder brother's keepsake; he wouldn't leave it to Doflamingo. Even if he died in battle, he would still get it.

"That's good. But what will you do with it after you get it?" Fanxin asked immediately.

He desperately needs Devil Fruit, and if the Straw Hat Boy doesn't want it, he won't hold back.

However, he wouldn't try to take the Flame-Flame Fruit from the Straw Hat Boy, because it held a different meaning for them. He couldn't take it from him.

Of course, if the Straw Hat Boy gave him the Flame-Flame Fruit, he wouldn't refuse. After all, the Flame-Flame Fruit is Logia Fruit, and its power is extraordinary.

He had fought Ace before, and the Devil Fruit techniques he used were indeed very troublesome.

He hadn't learned Haki yet, so he couldn't get close to Ace at all; he could only be chased and beaten by Ace.

Later, he learned Haki, which allowed him to fight Ace head-on. Therefore, if possible, he wouldn't mind taking the Flame-Flame Fruit for himself.

"Let's get it first. As for how to handle it, I haven't decided yet," Straw Hat Boy said.

"Alright then, but don't forget about me. I'm very interested in that fruit," Fanxin said with a smile.

Although he didn't like eating Devil Fruit, his crew needed them. Their fighting strength was too weak; if they ate Devil Fruit, their fighting power would be boosted. Having an extra fighter would make his life much easier.

"Sure, but I'll have to get it first," Luffy said with a grin.

"That's settled then! We..." Fanxin was about to say that they were going to search for the secret. However, at that moment, a tall man slowly walked towards them.

Although he walked away calmly, Fanxin felt a sense of pressure. He had only one feeling: this man was not to be trifled with and was very strong.

He quietly observed his opponent, ready to strike at any moment. However, just as Fanxin was about to make his move, the man suddenly stopped, pulled his hat up, and revealed his true face.

It was a handsome face, always with a slight smile on his lips. His smile was so beautiful that you would find it hard to resist. The only flaw on his face was a scar around his eye, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury there before.

His hair was yellow and curly, and he wore a black tuxedo, behaving with great elegance. Clearly, he must have received a good education in his childhood; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so polite.

However, Fanxin didn't care about any of that. He stared at the other person's face, completely stunned.

"Hey, are you Sabo, the General Staff Chief of the Revolutionary Army?" Fanxin asked.

Before entering the New World, he investigated the various forces New World, and since the Revolutionary Army's headquarters were also in the New World, he paid special attention to them.

The Revolutionary Army leader, Long, is elusive and impossible to track down. However, this General Staff officer appears frequently and is recognized by many.

Therefore, when he saw the other person's face, he immediately remembered who it was.

"Ah, yes, I'm Sabo." Sabo chuckled, then looked at the Straw Hat Boy and said, "Hehe, Luffy, long time no see, how are you?"

Luffy looked at Sabo, his whole body trembling slightly, and he couldn't hold back his tears.

"B-Big Brother..." Luffy looked at Sabo, his words slurred.

Sabo is his older brother, Ace is also his older brother. They became sworn brothers when they were young.

They had a very good relationship and could talk about almost anything. When he was a child, he often got into trouble, and it was his two older brothers who always helped him out.

From a young age, they had a dream: to go to sea and become pirates. So, for this dream, they started training very hard from childhood.

That's how they gradually built up their strength.

Everything was fine at first.

However, several years ago, Sabo suddenly died, killed by Celestial Dragons. He and Ace thought Ace was really dead.

So they were heartbroken for a long time. Because of this, they worked even harder. Because they had an additional task on their shoulders: to help Sabo fulfill his dream.

However, he never expected that Sabo, who was supposed to be dead, would come back to life. He found it hard to believe.

"Hehe, why are you crying? Shouldn't you be happy to see me?" Sabo said with a smile.

"Yes, that's right." The Straw Hat Boy nodded, immediately wiping away his tears.

"How did you end up here?" Luffy asked, puzzled, after wiping away his tears.

"I've been to Ace's grave and seen Ace," Sabo said. "He was at Marine Headquarters then, and I couldn't go to save him. But this time, he's decided to carry on his will. I'm here to claim the Flame-Flame Fruit. This thing absolutely cannot fall into anyone's hands; it's mine."

Sabo spoke with great Haki, his eyes sharp as an eagle's; anyone who dared to challenge him would be killed.

"Oh, you want to steal it? But you don't have a qualifying spot!" Luffy said.

"Hehe, we can switch places, that'll solve the problem, won't it?" Sabo said with a smile.

"You're going to take my place, right?" Luffy understood what Sabo meant.

"Yes, I'll go fight. You go do your thing," Sabo said. "I suppose you came here this time for more than just to fight over the Devil Fruit!"

"Yes, I do have other things to take care of. Since Sabo is going to fight, I'll let you have him," Luffy nodded and said.

"Okay, let's go change our clothes!" Sabo nodded and said.

Then, the two went to a corner to change their clothes.

"Wow, it's hard to believe. Sabo is actually Luffy's older brother, and his father is Dragon of the Revolutionary Army. This family is incredible." Fanxin looked on, somewhat surprised.

Such a powerful family—that's truly a matter of life and death. Luckily, he wasn't their enemy; otherwise, things would have been really difficult.

"Yes, but your family isn't bad either," Bingfeng said. "You're such a monster yourself, and you have so many helpers; you're no ordinary person either."

Fanxin herself is very strong; ordinary people are no match for her. Not only that, but she also has so many other experts by Fanxin side.

If we're really going to talk about it, Fanxin's side isn't inferior to Luffy's family.

"Hehe, that makes sense." Fanxin nodded and said, "It seems there's no hope for me to get the Flame-Flame Fruit. Let's find a way to leave!"

Sabo has already arrived, so he has no chance to steal it. Of course, he could have if he wanted to, but he doesn't want to damage the relationship between them. He's on good terms with Luffy, although he has no connection with Sabo.

However, Sabo is Luffy's brother, so if he hits Sabo, Luffy will definitely have to stop him.

Therefore, he had no choice but to give up; otherwise, things would become very unpleasant between the two sides.

"Yes, Sabo is a formidable opponent. Let him go; he'll surely get the Flame-Flame Fruit," Bingfeng said. "So, shall we leave the arena now?"

"Yes, we'll go find the factory now and then take it with us," Fanxin said.

He came here for only one purpose: to acquire the factory. Now that Caesar was in his hands, if he got the factory, things would be much easier for him.

He can create Devil Fruit whenever he wants, and no one can stop him.

In this way, everyone on his ship would possess demonic abilities. The fighting power of his pirate crew would inevitably increase significantly, which is exactly what he needs.

"Okay, let's go then," Ren Fang said.

"Let's wait for Straw Hat Boy to come out!" Fanxin said. "He's the kind of person who likes to cause trouble. If we don't take him out, he might not even be able to find the door."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, indicating that they understood.

Soon after, Sabo and Luffy changed clothes. At this moment, Sabo became Luffy, Luffy remained the same.

Fanxin Xin immediately stepped forward, picked up the Straw Hat Boy, and sent him into the Diamond Space.

It doesn't matter if he's exposed, since he's not a contestant. However, Straw Hat Boy Luffy can't be exposed. Because he's a contestant, and now that he's not participating, he has to hide. Only in this way can Sabo qualify for the finals and compete for the Flame-Flame Fruit.

If they hadn't done that, the organizers would definitely have eliminated Sabo.

Although they could try to steal it, they didn't know where the Flame-Flame Fruit was, and trying to steal it now would only alert the enemy. Therefore, he could only hide the Straw Hat Boy.

Once Sabo enters the field, everything will be fine.

By then, they had already seen the Flame-Flame Fruit, so why did they care about those other things?

"Alright, Sabo, I'll leave this to you. We're off now," Fanxin said.

"Don't worry! I'll handle everything here," Sabo said.

Fanxin nodded, and then without further hesitation, he walked straight outside.

Upon reaching the exit, the guards still refused to let them leave. However, this time, Fanxin ignored them, kicked the guards aside, and headed straight outside.

Fanxin attacked them, immediately causing a commotion. Many guards began to pursue Fanxin.

Fanxin then led everyone and fled to a distant place.

"Fanxin, do you know where the factory is?" Ren Fang asked.

"I know, I sensed it. We'll go there right away," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

He had already used his Haki to survey the surroundings and had long ago discovered the location of the factory.

However, he had more important things to do earlier, so he didn't go. But now he has to go, because his real purpose was the factory.

"That's good. Once we get there, we'll immediately begin the attack, dig up the factory, and take it away," Ren Fang nodded and said.

"That's only natural," Fanxin said with a smile.

After that, they didn't say anything more and immediately headed off into the distance.

Behind them, countless guards began to give chase, unwilling to let Fanxin and the others go.

Fanxin ignored them; these guards were just lowly minions. He didn't need to bother with them; if he did, they wouldn't amount to much.

Half an hour later, Fanxin arrived at a tall building and stopped.

"Is this the place?" Ren Fang asked.

"Yes, it's under this building. There seems to be an underground base down there," Fanxin nodded affirmatively.

"Let's get started now!" Ren Fang said.

"Okay, let's go!" Fanxin nodded and took the lead, heading towards the entrance.

Bingfeng, Ren Fang, Jesse, and the Little Black Cat followed closely behind.

As soon as they entered, a large number of people in uniform appeared, trying to stop them and prevent them from going in.

However, Fanxin and the others ignored them and charged forward, defeating anyone who dared to stop them without hesitation.

So they charged forward, and none of those who tried to stop them met a good end.

"Bingfeng, you and Jesse go over there. I'll take the other two and come this way, understand?" Fanxin shouted as she ran.

This place is huge; they have to split up. Otherwise, it will take them an unknown amount of time to find the factory.

"Understood," Bingfeng shouted.

"Yes, you all need to be more careful and not let your guard down," Fanxin said, nodding.

This is Doflamingo's territory. Doflamingo has a great reputation in the New World, and he must have some capable subordinates. They've barged in so blatantly; those guys definitely won't ignore it.

Those guys are definitely waiting for them inside.

Therefore, they must pay attention to one thing. Only in this way can they remain invincible.

"Understood." Bingfeng nodded and said.

After saying that, Bingfeng immediately led Jesse to the left, while Fanxin led Ren Fang and the Little Black Cat to the right.

As they continued onward, Fanxin indeed encountered those who were blocking their way. Countless people in uniforms came over and stopped them from entering.

"Hehe, there are quite a lot of people here, but I wonder if they can withstand a fight," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

His strength is beyond what ordinary people can handle. It's highly unlikely that these nobodyes can defeat him.

"It's definitely not going to hold up well. Let me handle it," the Little Black Cat chuckled and said.

"Okay, go ahead! Hurry up and don't slack off," Fanxin said.

"Understood." The Little Black Cat nodded, then summoned dozens of robots and began attacking those bastards.

The battle was about to begin. The Little Black Cat's robot fired lightning, attacking those in uniforms.

Countless Raidен descended from the sky, instantly turning those guys inside out into something charred and burnt.
