The Earth Collapses (1)

"Alright, then let's have a good fight," Blackbeard said with a smile.

"Come on!" Fanxin snorted coldly and summoned countless planets once again, letting them fall from the sky.

Fanxin Xin Blackbeard, on the other hand, rushed forward to attack Blackbeard, intending to stop him from using his powers to deal with the falling planets from the sky.

Soon, he and Blackbeard were locked in combat.

As for Burgess and Shiryu of the Rain, Fanxin released the Dragon-Slaying Sword, letting it trap the two of them.

This way, he can finally have a serious fight with Blackbeard.

"Kid, if such a huge planet fell on you, you'd be crushed to death too. Aren't you afraid?" Blackbeard said.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid, because I definitely won't get crushed to death. However, whether you will or not, that's another story," Fanxin said. "If I keep you occupied here, you probably won't be able to use your abilities to avoid that planet. Also, your Dark Fruit seems to have a weakness, which is that it can't dodge attacks."

"In that case, the probability of you getting hit is very high. You'd better be careful, otherwise, you, the new Four Emperors, might lose your life here," Fanxin said with a smile.

The Devil Fruit User cannot dodge; he cannot hide like other users.

Because no matter how he tries to dodge, the attack will always hit him, because his power creates a gravitational pull.

The planet is so big that it covers the entire island; there's no way the other side could escape.

"Hmph, I don't believe you can stop me forever," Blackbeard said.

"I will definitely stop you," Fanxin said. "Just you wait and see!"

With that, he summoned his Haki, covering his hands, and then charged forward again to fight Blackbeard.

At this moment, the planets in the sky are getting closer and closer to the ground, and you can hear the urgent sound immediately.

However, Fanxin didn't care about this. He wasn't afraid of the planet crashing down on him. When the planet hit the ground, he could easily hide inside the Diamond Space.

The Diamond Space is very sturdy and cannot be broken.

"Damn it, get out of my way!" Blackbeard was somewhat frightened, because his body wasn't that tough. If he were hit by such a large planet, he would definitely die a horrible death.

He used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power to drive away his Fanxin, then unleashed his earthquake power to bombard the planet in the sky. He planned to shatter the planet, thus minimizing the damage he would suffer.

However, at that moment, Fanxin suddenly made a move, unleashing Super Long Whip that swept towards Blackbeard.

Blackbeard glanced at it, feeling utterly helpless, and had no choice but to withdraw his power to deal with Fanxin. As he withdrew his power, the planet's falling speed increased rapidly, and soon it was right above Blackbeard's head.

"Heh heh, die!" Fanxin sneered, continuing his attacks on Blackbeard. Blackbeard was immediately caught in a dilemma.

No matter which side he dealt with, he ultimately suffered losses.

"Damn it, you're infuriating!" Blackbeard roared, unleashing both of his abilities at full power.

Moments later, the entire sky and ground began to shake, and a massive collapse occurred.

A gigantic black hole appeared in the sky, sucking everything in. It was like a bottomless pit, never satisfied.

The ground began to shake; a massive earthquake had struck. The ground collapsed, and the entire island disintegrated in an instant.

As Fanxin's feet left, a large crack appeared and swallowed Fanxin up.

Without a second Fanxin, Fan Xin immediately summoned back the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and then his entire body plunged into the deep, dark depths of the earth.

"Damn it, there's some kind of gravitational pull down here, holding me back and preventing me from leaving. It's infuriating!" Fanxin said.

If it weren't for a strong gravitational pull, he could have easily taken the opportunity to fly high into the sky. However, he is now bound and can only fall downwards.

"No, we have to get them out of here first. This guy is tough to deal with." Fanxin Xin gritted his teeth and unleashed all his power, launching continuous attacks into the depths of the earth to resist the gravitational pull.

Under his attack, his falling speed slowed down, and soon he broke free from that gravitational pull.

Using his String-String Fruit powers, he immediately flew to the ground.

Then, he fired a red signal flare outside, which signified danger. He fired this signal to let everyone retreat, because Blackbeard was dangerous and beyond their capabilities.

Those who stay will only face certain death.

After sending the signal, Fanxin focused all his attention on dealing with Blackbeard. This guy would be his formidable enemy in the future, and he would naturally be overjoyed if he could kill him now.

The two began their battle right there.

Blackbeard went berserk, unleashing his full power, and the entire island was enveloped in dark energy. However, Fanxin did not stand on the ground, but hovered in the air, fighting against Blackbeard. In this way, it was impossible for Blackbeard to use his power to devour him.

He used Super Long Whip to bombard Blackbeard, keeping him constantly on his Blackbeard.

He then unleashed his Raidен skill, covering the entire island in Raidен.

The dark energy and the Raidен were locked in a standoff, neither willing to yield.

Blackbeard is fine; he's controlling his abilities and is currently fighting Fanxin. As long as he can withstand Fanxin's attacks, he'll be alright.

However, Shiryu of the Rain and Burgess suffered a great loss.

Because both the dark energy and the endless Raidен posed a great threat to them.

Now that both abilities are fully activated, it's impossible for them to fight back.

Left with no other choice, they finally decided to flee. If they didn't leave, they would surely be attacked by Raidен and dark energy.

Blackbeard didn't blame them. His ability was so special that neither enemies nor his own comrades could get close to him.

If they get too close to me, they'll definitely suffer.

So their departure was the right thing to do.

"Heh, Blackbeard, your abilities are formidable, but your weaknesses are also quite obvious," Fanxin said. "You're a Devil Fruit user, you know. If you launch a large-scale attack, you won't even have a place to stand. When the sea surges in, you're finished."

"Hehe, but I'm not an ability user. I'm not afraid of anything, no matter where I am. I have the advantage over you."

"Hmph, so what? As long as I kill you before the seawater floods in, there won't be any problems. Kid, just you wait, I'll make sure you know the consequences of offending me," Blackbeard said coldly.

"Tch, don't try to threaten me. Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of even Admiral, not even the Four Emperors Big Mom, let alone a bastard like you." Fanxin said, "Come on, let's settle this here!"

Fanxin continued fighting, summoning endless Raidен that covered the entire island.

Blackbeard, on the other hand, used Dark Water to resist and counterattacked with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power.

This area has gone completely berserk.

The already fragmented island disintegrated once more, its land area dwindling while the sea surged in relentlessly.

Fanxin wasn't worried at all, because he wasn't afraid of it at all.

If he didn't want to fight anymore, he could simply hide in the sea. But Blackbeard couldn't do that, coming and going as he pleased.

Blackbeard watched with a cold gaze, for the situation around him was becoming increasingly unfavorable.

If he doesn't resolve his Fanxin soon, or escape this place, he'll probably be in serious trouble.

Once the seawater rushes in, they will be doomed.

"Hehe, are you in a hurry? Don't be like that, there are still islands left, just a few." Fanxin said, "Next, I'll help you destroy those islands! I think you should be very excited, right!"

With that, Fanxin unleashed the Thunder God Fist, striking the ground beneath Blackbeard's feet, intending to destroy it all.

If he destroys those things, Blackbeard will only end up drowning.

He's a demon-wielding ability user; once he falls into the sea, he'll be crippled, easily killed by a child. For someone as powerful as Admiral, killing a powerless ability user would be a piece of cake.

"You bastard, you're asking for it!" Blackbeard was furious; Fanxin clearly wanted to kill him. Naturally, he was displeased.

"Heh, it's survival of the fittest. You're no match for it, so naturally you'll die," Fanxin said coldly.

"You won't succeed," Blackbeard roared.

He launched a frenzied attack, plunging the area into chaos once more. He then took advantage of the confusion to escape.

He found Shiryu of the Rain and had them help him escape.

This place is no longer suitable for him to fight; if he stays, he will only suffer losses.

Fanxin originally intended to give chase, but Blackbeard had completely detonated the area, causing chaos and rendering him unable to move.

Left with no other option, he had to give up the pursuit.

Not long after, Fanxin returned to the ship.

Everyone came out and joined Fanxin.

"I'm so glad you're alright. We were terrified earlier." Previously, several different abilities had intertwined on the island, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the apocalypse—it was truly terrifying.

At that time, Fanxin sent out a red signal flare, which made them even more uneasy, worried that something might have happened to Fanxin.

Now that Fanxin has returned, the heavy weight that had been hanging over their hearts can finally be lifted.

"Hehe, don't worry, I only fired the signal flare to keep you away. My abilities don't discriminate. If you go over, you'll definitely be attacked," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Okay, that's good. Where's Blackbeard?" Wang Yan asked.

"That bastard ran away, damn it, that's infuriating," Fanxin said, frustrated.

He's about to destroy the soil beneath Blackbeard's feet; without it, Blackbeard is doomed.

However, at the critical moment, Blackbeard unleashed his power and blocked his path.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up on Blackbeard.

"Did he run away? That guy is too troublesome. We need to come up with a plan, otherwise, it will definitely be very troublesome if we encounter him again," Wang Yan said.

She's fought Blackbeard before; that guy is very strong, and his abilities are incredibly troublesome.

"Yes, that guy is definitely a big problem. We've made an enemy of him, so we'll have to be even more careful from now on."

Fanxin said, "However, everyone shouldn't worry unnecessarily. Although that guy is powerful, he's an ability user, and that's his weakness."

"If we can just find a way to make him fall into the sea, he'll be finished."

"However, that's easier said than done. That guy is no pushover," Bingfeng said.

"That's true. With his immense strength, he won't be easily defeated and sent to the sea. He'll definitely find a way to protect himself." Fanxin replied, "Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. We'll deal with Blackbeard later; there's plenty of time."

Now that Blackbeard is gone, there's no point in them overthinking. What they need to do now is train hard and improve their strength; that's the best course of action.

"We understand," everyone nodded in response.

Afterwards, they went back into the cabin.

"How are they? Are they alright?" Fanxin asked.

These people were all injured by Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit. He himself could withstand it, but these people couldn't.

"The injuries are severe and require rest and recuperation; it won't heal in a short time," Ren Fang said.

They had the ship's doctor examine the patient, and the situation was not optimistic.

"Okay then, send them to Wolf Valley and have the robots watch over them 24/7 until they recover," Fanxin said.

They were injured and couldn't stay outside. If they were attacked, they might not be able to rescue them immediately.

That would put them in a lot of trouble.

Therefore, it's best for them to return to Wolf Valley. Staying inside, the enemy won't be able to get in.

Moreover, there is a powerful expert guarding the place inside; that expert's strength is no less than that of Admiral, so they have nothing to worry about.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away," Ren Fang nodded and said.

Then, she summoned the robots and had them transport the seriously injured people to the first level of Wolf Valley. The robots took turns guarding them in case anything went wrong.

Fanxin then instructed the Little Black Cat to turn around and head elsewhere. The island had completely sunk into the sea and disappeared. It was unlikely that they could rest there anymore. Therefore, they had no choice but to turn elsewhere.

Everyone returned to their posts and started working.

Fanxin went to the main control room, where he and the Little Black Cat kept watch in case they encountered a powerful expert attacking them.

As the battle drew to a close, he dared not relax for a moment, fearing that one of the Four Emperors might suddenly appear and attack them. If they were not prepared for battle, they would be in serious trouble.
