Kyros vs. Diamante (Part One)

After those body parts were thrown into the Diamond Space, everyone who was originally inside was dumbfounded and retreated, not daring to approach.

If it weren't for the fact that Fanxin sent his soul in to explain the situation, everyone might have thought they had seen a ghost.

With Fanxin's reassurance, the crowd was no longer afraid. They stepped forward and, as Fanxin had instructed, began to help the people find bodies and continue assembling the body.

With so many people helping, the people recovered quickly. However, their faces didn't show joy, but rather deep fear.

Because they thought they were already dead! Their bodies were torn into countless parts—it was terrifying.

Although they are still alive, the thought of what happened before sends chills down their spines.

"There's no other way. If you stay there, you'll only die. It's a bit horrific, but it will save your lives," Fanxin said. "Alright, you can stay here. I have to go rescue others. Goodbye."

Without saying much, Fanxin left immediately.

Meanwhile, outside, Fanxin and Ren Fang began frantically collecting ordinary people. They no longer cared whether what they were collecting was a person or a part of a body.

Once they retrieved them, they threw them all into the Diamond Space.

The robot also came to help.

The people inside the Diamond Space couldn't stop, because they were helping everyone find bodies.

Fanxin stopped worrying about what was going on inside, because he had more important things to do. So, he had to leave the management of the interior to everyone else.

"Over there, over there... over here... over here..." Fanxin used his Haki perception to guide Ren Fang in making her move.

Ren Fang kept using her abilities.

At first, Ren Fang wasn't quite used to it, but as time went on, Ren Fang gradually adapted.

Finally, she managed to bring back a whole person.

"You've made progress, keep it up," Fanxin said with a smile.

Ren Fang grinned, looking somewhat smug.

Working together, the people were sent into the Diamond Space one by one.

More than an hour later, more than half of the people were under their protection.

"Alright, let's take a break!" Fanxin stopped and didn't continue.

Ren Fang's body was under great strain from using her abilities continuously. Ren Fang was his woman, and he didn't want Ren Fang to suffer.

Furthermore, Ren Fang's abilities were overdrawn, and she couldn't use them even if she wanted to! Since that was the case, they had no choice but to stop.

"Okay," Ren Fang nodded and said.

Afterwards, the group rested properly on the rooftop.

"Little Black Cat, tell me, what's the situation around us?" Fanxin asked.

"It's not looking good. Doflamingo's subordinates are very powerful; those pirates will have a very difficult time defeating them," the Little Black Cat said. "The Navy hasn't stepped in to help; they're just watching from the sidelines. They seem to be doing nothing, which is despicable."

"Oh, it seems the Navy wants to kill two birds with one stone, taking down both us and Doflamingo. Heh, they're dreaming. However, their plans will only fail." Fanxin sneered upon hearing this.

Neither they nor Doflamingo are easy to deal with; it's impossible for the Navy to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

In one instance, he hadn't even joined the battle yet; he was only rescuing people. Once the Navy made its move, he could easily go out and stop everything.

"That's right, we're the last trump card." The Little Black Cat nodded in agreement.

"Well, never mind that. We have plenty of ways to handle things with the navy. Do you see if there are any other problems?" Fanxin asked.

"That's all. The rest is just various groups fighting," the Little Black Cat said.

"Oh, okay then. Let's take a good rest and continue once Ren Fang has recovered her strength," Fanxin said immediately upon hearing this.

He is not a savior; he will save whoever he can. If he cannot, then there is nothing he can do.

He was exhausted now, and it was unlikely he could continue to rescue the people. He didn't want to drag his weary body there; that would only be suicide.

If he encounters a powerful enemy and is already weakened, then he'll be in trouble.

He had someone who needed protection, and he couldn't exhaust all his strength.

Therefore, he could only recover his strength before taking any further action.

"Understood. You rest, I'll watch over things for you," the Little Black Cat said. It hadn't done anything, so it was full of energy. Now, it could act as Fanxin's bodyguard.

"Mmm." Fanxin nodded, lay down on the roof, and closed his eyes to rest. Ren Fang did the same.

The Little Black Cat summoned several robots to keep watch around, in case anyone tried to attack.

Half an hour later, Fanxin and Ren Fang both woke up. Their complexions had improved. Clearly, they had rested well.

"Shall we take action?" the Little Black Cat asked.

"Let's do it!" Fanxin nodded, stood up, and prepared to jump off the roof.

However, at that moment, Fanxin sensed something. He used his Haki to reach to his right.

A moment later, Fanxin was stunned.

"What's wrong?" the Little Black Cat asked curiously.

"Hehe, do you remember that statue we saw in the arena?" Fanxin said.

Upon entering the arena, they saw a very tall and large statue—a statue of a gladiator. It was erected there to commemorate that gladiator.

Because that gladiator had never been defeated since he entered the arena. He fought a thousand battles over the years, and won every single one.

He was hailed as the most powerful swordsman since the arena's inception. However, he then vanished without a trace.

Fanxin had just sensed the other party and happened to spot his presence. His appearance was very similar to that of the gladiator statue. Therefore, Fanxin was certain that this gladiator was the original gladiator of the statue.

"I saw it! Did you see the real person?" the Little Black Cat said.

"Yes, just look in that direction and you'll know," Fanxin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Little Black Cat immediately dispatched robots to go over there. Soon, it received images from the robots.

"Yes, it's him." The Little Black Cat nodded and said, "What's wrong? Do you want to spar with him?"

A person with Fanxin rarely pays attention to another person. If they do, it means they are very interested in that person.

"Hehe, that's kind of true. Let's go take a look," Fanxin said with a smile.

He did have this idea, but the timing wasn't right. So, he had no choice but to give up.

"Okay." The Little Black Cat nodded, offering no objection.

Then, they all headed in that direction at the same time.

Upon arriving at their destination, they found two men fighting.

One was Diamante, Doflamingo's top executive. The other was a one-legged man. He was very tall and held a long, large sword. His hair was wavy and flowed down his back, and his face was very cold and stern.

Although he only had one leg, he fought without flinching. Diamante was Doflamingo's top executive, but he didn't hesitate at all and still made his move.

He was Cyrus the Kyros, a legendary figure in the arena.

The reason he was entangled with Diamante was because Diamante had killed his wife. His daughter, Rebecca, was also forced into the arena to fight to the death.

Therefore, he was furious and wanted to kill Diamante. Only in this way could he vent his anger.

However, with only one leg, his strength was greatly reduced. Diamante seized this opportunity to attack his vital points, putting Kyros in a very difficult position.

"Should we make a move?" the Little Black Cat asked.

They didn't get too close, so no one knew they were coming.

Kyros a bad situation now. Although he is a formidable fighter, he only has one leg, which makes his movements somewhat inconvenient. Diamante, on the other hand, is not only strong but also has everything he needs.

In comparison, Diamante has the advantage.

"Let's wait and see for now! Kyros seems to harbor a deep grudge against Diamante. There's definitely some kind of feud between them. He'll be very unhappy if we get involved," Fanxin said after a moment's hesitation.

Although he didn't know what grudge or resentment existed between Kyros and Diamante, Kyros's anger suggested that he harbored considerable resentment.

"Oh, right, Little Black Cat, when you go into the Diamond Space, ask everyone for me what Kyros's identity is. I need to get to know him as soon as possible," Fanxin Xin said immediately.

Although he knew Kyros was a legend in the arena, he knew nothing else about Kyros. He wanted to find out more so he could better deal with Diamante. If he didn't know anything and ran out now, he would probably be stopped.

"Understood." The Little Black Cat nodded, and then immediately entered the Diamond Space.

Fanxin and Ren Fang continued to wait there.

"Heh heh, Kyros, you're no match for me. You've lost a leg, and you still want to defeat me? That's absolutely impossible," Diamante said with a chuckle.

He laughed excitedly because he felt he could easily control Kyros. Kyros was completely helpless against him.

"Hmph, you've only lost one leg. I still have the other. If I want to, I can still kill you," Kyros said with a snort.

He lost his leg because he cut it off himself. He did this because Doflamingo had witnessed his terrifying exploits and wanted to recruit him as a subordinate. If Kyros joined, his forces would become even stronger.

However, Kyros knew Doflamingo's character and resolutely refused.

However, Doflamingo had managed to lock one of his legs, preventing him from escaping. Left with no other option, Kyros had to intervene and cut off the leg.

He was very decisive and did not hesitate at all.

So, from that moment on, he became a one-legged warrior. Later, he became a toy and was imprisoned for ten years.

If it weren't for Fanxin, Usopp, and the others intervening and knocking Sugar unconscious, he would still be a toy, unable to revert to his true form.

As soon as he recovered, he came looking for trouble with Diamante. Diamante had tormented him quite a bit in the past. Moreover, Diamante had even shot and killed his wife in front of him. This was a blood feud that had to be repaid with blood.

Although he only had one leg left, he wasn't afraid. He felt he had the strength to defeat Diamante.

"Hmph, what arrogance! Do you still think you're the legend of the fighting arena? You're outdated, understand? More than ten years have passed since the last time, and in those ten years, you haven't improved at all. But we have been constantly improving."

Diamante said, "The gap in strength between us is widening. In my eyes, you are no match for me anymore, understand?"

"Is that so? Then why all the nonsense? Just make your move and show me your skill to defeat me!" Kyros retorted sarcastically. "Does all this talk mean you can't kill me?"

"No, that's not it. I'm just telling you about the current situation," Diamante said. "Since you're so stubborn, I have no choice but to kill you."

"Hmph, then let's bring it on!" Kyros said no more.

He didn't want to waste any more words with an enemy, because this enemy would soon be killed. Just a dead man; he couldn't be bothered with him.

"You're asking for death." Diamante scoffed, then without further hesitation, he swung his longsword and attacked Kyros.

Diamante's ability was quite unique; his sword, which was originally very hard, suddenly began to flutter in his hand, like a ribbon.

He could not only make the sword flexible, but also make it longer and longer. Therefore, he could Kyros a great distance.

Kyros was unable to get close to Diamante, which greatly frustrated Kyros.

"Haha... you can't even get close to me, so how can you attack me?" Diamante said, "You're simply courting death. Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish."

"Hmph, trying to stop me? You're dreaming." With a snort, Kyros became fierce and charged forward. Even the longswords that tried to stop him didn't bother him; he charged straight ahead.

Then, he actually rushed to Diamante's side.

However, he paid the price for it, as he was wounded by Diamante's longsword.

However, Kyros didn't care about that minor pain. His heart was aching even more. Diamante had caused his family to be displaced, their home destroyed, and their lives ruined. How could he let him off so easily?
