Surrounded (3)
"We're leaving. If you try to stop us, you'll suffer the same fate as them, understand?" Bingfeng coldly glanced at the surrounding pirates and said.
Having said that, she didn't hesitate any longer and immediately told the Little Black Cat to steer the boat away into the distance.
The pirates around them were furious, but seeing their comrades turned into ice sculptures, they began to waver. They worried that they would become like that too.
Their leader was injured and is now unable to fight. So they are no match for them.
Therefore, they could only watch helplessly as Fanxin and the others left.
Fanxin glanced around and said, "Go back and tell Four Emperors Big Mom not to worry too much. Even if she doesn't look for us now, I will look for her later. It's just a matter of time, understand?"
After saying that, Fanxin began cultivating, ignoring those guys.
If he wants to make a name for himself in the New World, he will inevitably have to clash with the Four Emperors; this is an unavoidable hurdle.
Therefore, he is not in a hurry at all, because this battle was bound to come sooner or later.
Upon hearing this, the pirates could only keep the words in mind, but dared not make the slightest move.
Not long after, Fanxin and the others left this place and went to a distant place.
The pirates immediately stepped in to rescue their companions. They used scalding water to thaw those who were Bingfeng solid.
Fortunately, they acted in time; their companions regained consciousness immediately after being thawed. Had it been any longer, they would have certainly died.
Dillon gradually regained consciousness. He looked at everyone and said, "When we get back, you'll put the blame on me, understand?"
That Big Mom is not easy to deal with; if her subordinates make a mistake, they will definitely be punished. This time, they failed. When they get back, the boss will definitely punish them.
If he didn't take responsibility for all of this, they would all be in trouble. And since he's the boss's favorite, even if the boss is angry, he won't do anything to him.
"Captain Dillon, this..." Someone hesitated, because this was a mission they had carried out together. This couldn't be entirely blamed on Dillon.
"If you want to be severely punished, you're welcome to try," Dillon said.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately changed. They knew all too well the suffering they would endure upon returning home.
Many people didn't make it through and eventually died. They certainly didn't want to end up like that.
Finally, they all nodded, indicating their agreement to do so.
"Okay, that's good. Also, immediately notify the other fleets to stop the pursuit for now. Fanxin is not someone they can handle. Every person around him is not to be underestimated," Dillon said.
He didn't fight Wang Yan much before Wang Yan tricked him and led him into a Magma World.
He suffered a lot inside. Fortunately, Wang Yan didn't intend to kill him, otherwise, he would have been dead long ago.
He felt that he knew very little about Wang Yan, and that Wang Yan must have even more powerful moves up his sleeve. Once he used them, he might not be able to block them.
His companions were unaware that rushing over recklessly like this might not be a good thing.
Therefore, he decided to postpone his attack. He planned to first understand the weaknesses of each member of the Fanxin Pirates before making his move.
"Understood." The pirates nodded slightly in response.
He then ordered everyone to sail back to base.
Their mission has failed; there's no need for them to stay.
Everyone nodded, abandoned the Bingfeng- cold ships, and set sail towards their destination in the few intact vessels.
Dillon stared at the direction Fanxin and the others had gone, muttering to himself, "Just you wait. I won't give up. Next time we meet, I'll definitely catch you."
After saying that, he went back to his cabin to rest. This time, he had suffered very serious injuries, and if he didn't rest properly, he might suffer long-term consequences.
"Boss, the next island is Zou!" the Little Black Cat said, glancing at the map.
"Ah, let's just go!" Fanxin said calmly upon hearing this.
Now, he's fearless wherever he goes. Although his Soul Tower isn't yet complete, his strength has already increased significantly, and he's not worried at all about encountering powerful experts.
"Okay, but I heard that's where the Four Emperors are based. If we rush over there, we'll be facing Four Emperors head-on," the Little Black Cat said.
"The Four Emperors? Which one?" Fanxin asked curiously upon hearing this.
"I heard it's Kaido of the Beasts," the Little Black Cat said.
"Kaido?" Fanxin said upon hearing this, "That's troublesome. That guy will definitely hunt me down."
"Why?" the Little Black Cat asked, puzzled.
"You don't know, we teamed up with the Straw Hat Boy and took down Doflamingo. And Doflamingo was Kaido of the Beasts's biggest trading partner; Kaido bought all his Artificial Devil Fruit from Doflamingo," Fanxin said. "We not only defeated Doflamingo, but we also seized Caesar and the factory. After so much time, Kaido must already know."
"Once we appear in front of Kaido, those guys will definitely hunt us down relentlessly."
"Then what do we do? Should we move now?" the Little Black Cat asked.
"No need for that. As long as we're careful, we should be fine," Fanxin said. "Go and provide each member with five cans of raw materials, just in case."
"Hmm, there's more?" the Little Black Cat asked.
"And also, make sure each of them carries all sorts of life-saving items," Fanxin said.
He wasn't afraid of Kaido. However, not all of his subordinates were as strong as him. Therefore, he needed to think of them and prepare in advance.
If he doesn't prepare them now, they'll be in trouble once the battle begins.
And if they are prepared, even in the event of a major battle, they can escape at any time. He doesn't need to worry about them at all.
"Okay, I understand," the Little Black Cat said.
"Okay, go and call everyone over now, I need to make some arrangements," Fanxin Xin said after a moment's thought.
He had a bad feeling about this, because Kaido was a tough opponent. That guy was said to be the strongest monster in a one-on-one fight.
He once single-handedly fought against the Navy and the Four Emperors, and although he failed, that was enough to demonstrate the immense strength of his opponents.
What's even more frustrating is that the guy's body seems to be indestructible; no matter how you attack him, you can't kill him. He himself is the same.
Encountering such an unkillable monster naturally weighed heavily on Fanxin's heart.
Therefore, he needs to make arrangements in case something goes wrong.
"Yes, I'll go right now." The Little Black Cat nodded, turned around, and left immediately.
Soon after, the Little Black Cat arrived with everyone and came to Fanxin's side.
Fanxin glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, the closer we get to the end, the greater the danger. Our next destination will be an incredibly powerful monster, Kaido of the Beasts. We offended him before; we defeated Doflamingo and sent him to prison. And Kaido's trading partner is Doflamingo."
"We've incurred their wrath, and it's irreconcilable. When we meet, it will be like enemies meeting, their eyes blazing with hatred. Therefore, we must prepare for battle."
"I need to say that Kaido is known as the monster with the strongest life force; to this day, no one has been able to kill him. I'm not even sure I can defeat him. Therefore, I need to make some arrangements before facing Kaido."
"You all stop here. Remember this, understand?" Fanxin said earnestly.
When he encountered Doflamingo, his expression wasn't as serious. However, this time he had no choice but to take it seriously.
"Okay, go ahead and say it!" Ren Fang and the others nodded slightly and said.
"From today onwards, all teams are disbanded, and I will be regrouping. Remember this clearly." Fanxin Xin pondered for a moment, then said, "In order to defeat the strong, I plan to have you all form powerful alliances. This way, you can unleash even greater power."
"From now on, Little Fox and Ren Fang will be a group, Bingfeng and Wang Yan will be a group, Lin Haicheng and Jesse will be a group, and Little Black Cat and all the crew members will be a group."
"As the captain, Little Black Cat will lead the crew and the robot army. Your main task is to deal with opponents of similar strength."
"As for those strong individuals, you only need to adhere to one principle: if you cannot win, run immediately, understand? There's no shame in that. Only by living can you play a greater role. A dead person cannot accomplish great things."
"Understood," everyone shouted.
"Okay, that's good." Fanxin nodded and said, "Yuning will come with me, Langyue will fight alone. Your abilities are too unique; there aren't many who can coordinate with you."
Langyue's power is darkness; once unleashed, those who cooperate with it will be unable to see anything.
In that case, its partner would not only be unable to help it, but would also be a hindrance. In that case, it would be better to let Langyue fight alone.
"Understood." Langyue nodded and said.
"Alright, that's the arrangement," Fanxin said. "Once the great battle begins, you will fight according to the formations I've assigned. This way, you can support each other."
"Yes," everyone replied.
"What about me? Does that mean I don't need to participate in the war? That won't do." Just when Fanxin thought everything was alright, Xiao Qiang suddenly appeared and came to Fanxin's side.
"You... oh my god, I completely forgot about you." Fanxin pondered for a moment and said, "You should act alone too! Have the Little Black Cat make you a few intelligent robots as henchmen."
Xiao Qiang's ability is also quite unique. She must make all the necessary arrangements before she can use it. If she doesn't make the arrangements, she won't be able to use her ability, which is very troublesome.
"Okay, I agree." Xiao Qiang nodded slightly upon hearing this. She didn't object because her ability was indeed very special; she couldn't directly fight her opponent and would definitely suffer if she charged to the front.
"That's good." Fanxin said, "Alright, that's all for now. Everyone, do your jobs! Remember, you're partners, so you must cooperate well. That way, even if we don't achieve our goals, there won't be any danger to our lives."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.
"Alright, get to work!" Fanxin said.
Without saying another word, everyone immediately got to work.
The Little Black Cat then began assigning tasks to everyone. It now took over everything and became the head steward.
Ren Fang also relinquished her power. At this point, she and the Little Fox left to train in Wolf Valley.
They plan to practice their teamwork so that they can coordinate perfectly when facing opponents.
Bingfeng, Wang Yan, Lin Haicheng, Jesse, and others also went to cultivate.
Fanxin himself lay down on the deck and began to rest.
The ship slowly headed towards Zou.
Soon after, the weather changed, and thick dark clouds covered the sky. Moments later, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a torrential downpour began.
Fanxin immediately sat up, looked at the sky, and chuckled. Then, he gave some instructions to the Little Black Cat and headed straight for the sky.
He didn't wear Flight Armor; instead, he used Doflamingo's power.
Doflamingo's abilities have been refined and made his own, so he can use them easily.
After flying high into the sky, Fanxin stood under Raidен and let it strike his body.
He was practicing his new ability, which he had obtained from a monster. He liked this ability very much because it was an area-of-effect attack; once he used it, countless people would be wiped out.
"My abilities can't be too scattered; they must be integrated. That way, I won't need to transform them," Fanxin muttered to himself.
He possesses many abilities, most of which he acquires by absorbing the souls of others. If he doesn't merge with one of them and tries to acquire a different ability, it will take him some time.
Every point in the battle is crucial; if he wastes time, others will gain the upper hand.
"I wonder how many abilities can be preserved. Never mind, weak abilities are fine to discard anyway," Fanxin said after a moment of contemplation.
Abilities vary in strength, and during the fusion process, the stronger ability will ruthlessly devour the weaker one. This is the law of the jungle, and even Fanxin cannot prevent it.
However, Fanxin desired was powerful ability; he had no interest in weak abilities.
After that, he said no more and immediately began to integrate his various abilities.
Under the control of Fanxin, more than a dozen souls finally converged. These souls, like more than a dozen lives, began to fight after colliding.
The scene was somewhat chaotic, with souls locked in a fierce and inseparable battle, seemingly determined not to give up until they had tormented you to death.
His Fanxin didn't interfere; he simply sat there and let them fight it out. He didn't need to do anything; he just needed to patiently wait for the outcome.
