Under Siege (1)

"Okay, sure." Ren Fang nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Fanxin closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.

He has already absorbed a lot of Soul Power, and the size of that round bead is getting bigger and bigger.

Once the round beads have reached a certain level, he can then transform them into Soul Tower.

However, he cannot do so now, because the time is not right.

"Three months. I need another three months. Once the Soul Orb is the size of a head, I can begin the transformation," Fanxin said, looking at the round pearl in his hand, which was about the size of an infant's fist.

The larger the size, the easier it is for him to work on it; the smaller the size, the more effort he needs to put in, and the less likely he is to succeed.

So now he can only wait patiently.

For the next few days, he stayed here to cultivate, except for going out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Ren Fang would come to keep him company from time to time, so he didn't feel lonely.

Bang...

Just as Fanxin was immersed in cultivation, the ship suddenly made a loud noise and the entire vessel began to shake.

Fanxin Xin immediately came to his senses. He used his Haki to sense it, and his expression turned slightly ugly.

He realized that their ships seemed to be surrounded, and a large group of people appeared to be about to attack them.

"Looks like I'll have to go out," Fanxin said unhappily.

He was at a crucial moment when troublemakers suddenly appeared. Ren Fang and her group were currently engaged in combat, but hadn't gained the upper hand. This could only mean that their opponents were quite strong.

If he doesn't go out, Ren Fang and the others will be in big trouble.

He stored the Soul Orb inside his body, then opened the door and went outside.

After traveling for a while, Fanxin finally arrived on the deck of the ship.

On the deck, everyone was there. Ren Fang stood at the front, while Wang Yan, Bingfeng, and the others stood beside her, ready to prevent any accidents.

After Fanxin emerged, everyone made way for him. Fanxin made his way to the bow of the ship without any obstruction.

"What's going on? Which faction is that?" Fanxin asked.

"We don't know the specifics, but he was dressed entirely in black and had very special abilities; he seemed to be able to control ships," Ren Fang said.

"Controlling the ships?" Fanxin was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked, "How do they control them?"

"They can turn any object into a boat, make the boat grow larger or smaller, and control other people's boats at will. Just now, they used their abilities to manipulate our boat completely," Ren Fang said.

"Oh, demonic abilities? Looks like we've encountered a troublesome opponent," Fanxin said.

"Yes! What do you suggest we do?" Ren Fang nodded and asked.

They weren't afraid of fighting, but if that group got control of the ship, things would get complicated.

This ship is their prized possession; they absolutely cannot afford to lose it.

"Let Yuning over!" Fanxin said after a moment's thought.

"Can she handle it?" Ren Fang asked curiously.

"Her power can make this entire sea churn. The opponent is a demonic ability user; as long as we flip him overboard, he'll be no threat," Fanxin said.

"Oh, but the other party can protect themselves," Ren Fang said.

"Oh, really? How can you protect yourself?" Fanxin was stunned and asked. If the other party could still protect themselves under these circumstances, then it would be troublesome for him to take them down.

"She can put the two boats together to cover herself. That way, even if the boats capsize, she won't fall into the sea," Ren Fang said.

"This is indeed a troublesome matter. However, regardless, since they've come looking for us, we have no choice but to retaliate," Fanxin said.

These guys came on strong and were definitely not to be trifled with, so there was nothing more he could say.

"Alright! So what is our battle strategy?" Ren Fang asked.

"Bingfeng strikes, stirring up Bingfeng all around. Little Fox seizes the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, giving them no chance to breathe. The rest of you, move out and attack their ship, annihilating all their members in one fell swoop," Fanxin said after a moment of contemplation.

Bingfeng intervened to create a foothold for everyone. Now that they're all on the open sea, without a place to land, it will be very difficult for them to fight their way out.

The Little Fox, on the other hand, can hold off those guys and buy everyone some time.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away," Ren Fang said.

"Okay, then deploy five hundred robots. Let them go out and provide aerial cover for our attack," Fanxin said.

"Okay, I'll prepare it right away," Ren Fang said with a smile and a nod.

She then assigned the tasks, and everyone acknowledged and said they understood.

Fanxin, on the other hand, was looking into the distance, where there were fifty large ships, each much larger than Fanxin's own. This showed that those guys had extraordinary power behind them.

They came here and surrounded them; their purpose was obvious—they wanted to target them.

Although he didn't know their purpose, Fanxin was too lazy to think about it anymore. Since they were opponents, then let's start the war.

Soon after, everyone was ready.

Bingfeng is also preparing to strike.

But, at that moment—

"Hey, Heavenly Soul Pirates, is your captain here? Tell him to come out for a moment, our captain wants to speak with him." Suddenly, someone on the enemy ship shouted into a megaphone towards Fanxin.

Fanxin paused for a moment, then immediately told everyone to hold off on the attack. He wanted to hear what those people's purpose was.

"I am the captain, what brings you here!" Fanxin stepped forward, took out a megaphone, and said loudly.

"Hehe, our boss wants to have a good talk with you!" a bald man said with a smile from the enemy ship.

"Let her out! I've been wanting to see her too," Fanxin said.

He was completely unfamiliar with this force and wanted to know exactly who was targeting him.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The bald man nodded in response.

Shortly after, the bald man went into the cabin. A few minutes later, he came out with a tall woman.

The woman was dressed in a red, fitted outfit; her figure was curvaceous, and her skin was as smooth as mutton fat jade, making her a striking sight.

Her hair was loose and flowing down her back. She was beautiful, with captivating eyes that would attract any man who saw her. She wore a small red hat shaped like a ship, which was quite peculiar.

"This is our captain, Jenny, you talk to her!" After the bald man finished speaking, he handed the megaphone to the woman in the red outfit.

The woman in the red outfit looked at Fanxin not far away and said expressionlessly, "You are Fanxin, the captain of the Heavenly Soul Pirates?"

Fanxin nodded, indicating that he agreed.

"Very well, I'm here for only one thing, and that is to make you submit to me and become my subordinate. Is that alright?" the woman in the tight-fitting clothes said domineeringly.

"Oh, why would I want to be your subordinate?" Fanxin asked curiously.

He thought the other party was going to kill him, but he never expected that the other party had come to recruit him.

"You are very strong, and I need help in the New World. Therefore, I choose you to be my subordinate," said the woman in red.

"You're being too domineering! Why should I be your subordinate just because you ask me to be one?" Fanxin shook her head and said, "I'm really sorry, but I won't agree. You should leave!"

He is powerful enough not to let anyone ride roughshod over him. This is his answer regardless of whether the other person is a man or a woman.

If they don't listen and are self-righteous, he will definitely not show any mercy.

"Hmph, I'm afraid you'll have no choice but to agree," the woman said. "I've already used my ability, and I'm sure your people know it. I can completely destroy your ship in an instant."

"If you wish to sink into the sea, I can grant your wish. If you do not wish to, then you will have no choice but to agree to my request."

"I know your abilities are limited to controlling ships, right? However, you think you can destroy my ship so easily? I'm afraid it won't be that simple," Fanxin said. "This is no ordinary ship."

This was meticulously crafted by the Little Black Cat, and it has many possible transformations. He believed that this ship would not be easily destroyed.

"Hmph, as long as it's a boat, I can handle it," the woman said. "Make your decision now! You don't have much time left."

After saying that, she crossed her arms and waited there.

Fanxin smiled and said, "No need to wait. I've already told you, I won't agree."

He wasn't afraid of even Admiral or Doflamingo, so he wouldn't be afraid of a woman. If war really broke out, he would accept it.

"It seems you don't know your limits. In that case, I'll have to let you experience my power." The woman was immediately displeased when she saw Fanxin's stern refusal.

She immediately set to work, creating ten small boats the size of a palm, and then threw them towards where Fanxin was.

The small boat flew above the Fanxin ships, and after a short while, it began to grow larger. Soon, each of the boats became larger than the Fanxin ships.

If so many ships were to fall, the ship of Fanxin would certainly suffer a great loss.

"Fanxin, you either submit or be Destruction. The choice is yours!" the woman in the tight-fitting clothes said.

"Heh, looks like you're not someone easy to talk to. But even so, so am I. I absolutely will not agree. If you really want war, then bring it on! I'll take it." Fanxin said calmly.

They have many skilled fighters on their side; if they insist on fighting, they might not necessarily lose.

Therefore, he didn't need to be coerced by others, and she could completely ignore these words.

"Fine! Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite." The woman in red was furious at Fanxin's rudeness.

She maneuvered her ship and rammed it directly into Fanxin's vessel, intending to send Fanxin crashing into the depths of the sea.

The ship descended rapidly, and in no time, it completely covered the Fanxin's boat, blocking out all the light. Those on board thought that night was about to fall.

"He really has a short temper." Fanxin said, dissatisfied, "You guys take action and destroy these ships; they're in the way."

"Understood," everyone shouted.

Then, everyone began to fight back. Those with guns used them to fight back, while those without guns used their own abilities to fight.

Soon after, the ships were completely destroyed, reduced to fragments that scattered all around.

"Hmph, your tricks are useless against us," Fanxin said. "If you know what's good for you, I'll teach you a lesson."

"Don't get cocky, this is just the beginning." The woman in red, dissatisfied, made another move. She summoned back the ship fragments and created many more ships, this time in much larger numbers, densely packed in the sky, a truly frightening sight.

Each ship was exceptionally large; if they all fell, it would be absolutely deadly.

"Hmph, you've only made trouble for yourselves by smashing it up."

The woman in the red outfit laughed and said, "If you destroy the ships, I can use the fragments to build more ships and then attack you. Then you'll never be done with it."

"Your ability is indeed troublesome. However, once we catch you, you won't be able to use your ability anymore. Am I right?" Fanxin said with a smile.

"That's right, but do you think I'd let you get close to me?" the woman in the red outfit said. "The distance between us is considerable. It's almost impossible for you to get close to me."

"That's not necessarily true," Fanxin said.

"Oh, you think you're capable? Then show me. I'd like to see just how capable you are." The woman in red, seeing Fanxin's confidence and fearlessness, grew increasingly interested. She looked at Fanxin and said.

Fanxin was her chosen subordinate, and she wanted to see just how capable Fanxin was. If Fanxin was powerful, she would naturally be happy; she would then have a super henchman.

"Okay, you'll see soon," Fanxin said.

After saying that, Fanxin looked at everyone and said, "The boats are now your responsibility to protect. If that doesn't work, then you'll all have to go into Wolf Valley, understand?"

Although he was reluctant to put the ship in Wolf Valley, the situation was special, and he had no choice but to do so.

"Understood, don't worry!" everyone said.

"Alright, I'll go first." Fanxin nodded, then jumped into the sea and disappeared.

The woman in the red outfit raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled, when she saw Fanxin jump into the sea.

However, she showed no fear, calmly instructing her crew to prepare for battle while she continued attacking Fanxin's pirate ship.

Ren Fang immediately led everyone in a counterattack. However, they did not attack the woman in red, because their Fanxin had passed, and there was no need for them to do so.
