Red Hair Arrives (2)

"Fanxin, are we really going to hide here forever?" the Little Black Cat asked.

"Hehe, yes, that's how it is for now, but who knows what will happen in the future," Fanxin said. "What's wrong? Do you want to go out and make your way in the world?"

"Hehe, if you go, I'll go; if you don't go, then I won't go," the Little Black Cat said with a smile.

With Fanxin's strength and his protection, even if it encounters a powerful enemy, it has nothing to fear.

Because Fanxin desires will find a way to solve everything for it.

"Let's wait a while longer; I can't go there right now," Fanxin said, shaking her head.

He has other things to take care of, so he really can't go out and explore with everyone for the time being.

However, once he has arranged everything here, there will be no problem.

"In that case, let's leave it at that for now!" the Little Black Cat nodded in agreement.

"Alright, you can all go and get back to your work!" Fanxin nodded and said, "Ren Fang, let's go! I'll go with you to do the purchasing, the rest of you stay here and watch over things, understand?"

"Understood!" everyone shouted.

Then, Fanxin and Ren Fang no longer hesitated, took a small boat, and headed straight for the distance.

His reason for going shopping was solely to spend time with Ren Fang. Lately, he had been focusing on his cultivation and had rarely paid attention to Ren Fang. Ren Fang was his wife, and it wasn't right for him to neglect her like this.

Therefore, he planned to take advantage of this shopping opportunity to spend quality time with Ren Fang and strengthen their relationship.

Ren Fang understood what Fanxin meant and was very happy.

On the boat, the two sat together, drinking and chatting, while the robot Xiaoling helped steer.

"How about we live there from now on?" Fanxin said.

"Okay!" Ren Fang nodded and said.

"Let's get married," Fanxin said after a long period of contemplation.

He had thought about this for a long time; Ren Fang had been with him for so long. No matter what, he had to give her a proper status.

Otherwise, he would feel guilty.

"Oh, didn't you say you were going to wait for your parents to come back? They still haven't been found," Ren Fang said.

"Yes! But we can't wait any longer. We can take this opportunity to announce it to the world. That way, my parents will definitely know. They might even rush over to our wedding," Fanxin said. "What do you think?"

"Oh, okay then, I agree," Ren Fang said.

"Okay, that's settled then. We'll go buy the wedding rings later. After that, we'll spread the word two months in advance, so my parents will have enough time to come and attend our wedding," Fanxin said with a smile.

He used this method because he had searched many places but could not find his parents.

He felt that instead of blindly searching, it would be better to stay in one place, spread the word, and let his parents come over on their own.

This way, they won't have to make unnecessary trips back and forth. Once their parents arrive, they can be reunited.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say," Ren Fang said obediently.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's leave it at that," Fanxin said.

After that, they said nothing more, nestled together, and headed into the distance.

After more than a dozen minor incidents, they disembarked at a place called Milo Island.

This is a large island with millions of inhabitants. It's a very prosperous place, and they source all their food from here.

Previously, their subordinates would come to make the purchases, but this time they came in person.

"Xiaoling, let's go shopping together," Fanxin said with a smile.

"I'd rather go into your Diamond Space," Xiaoling said, shaking her head.

"Why?" Fanxin asked.

"I don't want to be a third wheel," Xiaoling said, uttering a statement that surprised everyone.

"Damn, you're practically a demon! How could you say something like that?" Fanxin rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

"Never mind, Xiaoling has evolved now. She's not an ordinary robot anymore; she's almost like Little Black Cat," Ren Fang said with a smile.

Every so often, the Little Black Cat would replace Xiaoling. As this continued, Xiaoling became more and more like a person. If it weren't for its body of steel, you would probably mistake it for a human.

"Fine, forget I said anything." Fanxin Xin sighed and sent Xiaoling into the Diamond Space.

Afterwards, he and Ren Fang went shopping.

They first went to buy food, and once that was done, they went straight to buy the wedding dress and wedding rings.

To make it a more grand affair, Lin Xuan also contacted a local wedding planning company. This made things much more convenient for them.

After making the contact and paying the deposit, everything was settled.

"Let's go. They'll come and help us with the renovations once we get back. We just need to wait," Fanxin said.

"Well, but what kind of guests should we invite?" Ren Fang asked curiously.

"This is indeed a bit difficult," Fanxin said. "Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it for now. I'll go back and think it over carefully before making a decision!"

They're out at sea, and it's proving to be quite difficult to invite a few friends.

Because he doesn't have many friends, and they're quite scattered, it would be difficult to gather them together.

"Okay, then that's settled." Ren Fang nodded and said.

After that, the two of them said no more and walked away into the distance.

Upon reaching the sea, they prepared to sail away. However, at that moment, several warships arrived at the island.

As soon as the warships arrived, they began to hunt down the pirates in the surrounding area. Many pirates were injured and eventually captured by the marines.

As for their pirate ships, they were all destroyed.

Fanxin watched without intervening. These weren't his subordinates, and they wouldn't appreciate it if he took care of them.

Besides, being a pirate inherently involves taking great risks. Since they couldn't fight against the marines attacking them, they were naturally at a disadvantage.

"Let's go!" Fanxin said. With that, he took out the boat, preparing to upload and leave.

However, just as the two of them were about to board the ship, Fanxin suddenly spotted several familiar faces.

One was former Fleet Admiral Sengoku Guo, and the other was Staff Officer Tsuru. The two of them came together, but it was unclear what their purpose was.

Fanxin thought about it carefully and seemed to understand something. Things had been quite turbulent here lately. The Four Emperors were frequently making moves, so it was only natural that the Navy would send out a few as well.

"It seems like something big is going to happen soon. I'm really curious; I wonder what will happen," Fanxin said.

"Whatever, as long as they don't cause us trouble, I don't care about them," Ren Fang said calmly.

It's very safe for them there, because if they encounter a strong enemy, they can simply hide in Wolf Valley.

"Alright, let's go," Fanxin said. Then he boarded the boat.

Ren Fang also boarded the ship.

However, they still couldn't leave safely, because Sengoku spotted him and appeared in front of him, preventing him from leaving.

Sengoku, wearing a navy cloak, looked much older than he had two years ago; his hair was completely white, making one sigh at the cruelty of time.

However, the retired Sengoku is now living a very carefree life, teaching new recruits every day and not caring about anything else.

He's just a stubborn old man who loves to cause trouble now.

"Greetings, Fleet Admiral Sengoku," Fanxin said with a smile. "What is the meaning of your coming here to prevent me from leaving?"

"Let's have a drink together," Sengoku said.

"Drinking? Heh, old man, what kind of medicine are you up to?" Fanxin said with a smile.

He had no real relationship with the Sengoku; on the contrary, he had offended the Fleet Admiral Sengoku. He simply couldn't understand the point of drinking with him.

"I didn't buy any medicine, I just wanted to find someone to have a drink with," said Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

"Tch, who would believe you? I don't believe you at all." Fanxin pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to drink, fine, my wedding is in a few months. Do you dare to come? I'll send you an invitation."

As he spoke, Fanxin narrowed his eyes slightly; he was clearly up to no good. For a pirate like himself to hire a marine, and a former Marine Fleet Admiral at that, was likely to cause a huge uproar if word got out.

Fanxin wasn't afraid, since he wouldn't suffer any losses anyway. On the contrary, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was going to suffer a great loss. Although he was only a former Fleet Admiral, he was still a very important member of the navy.

While his actions may not represent the entire navy, they do reflect certain issues.

"You're really cunning, aren't you? You actually wanted me to attend your wedding. You're trying to get me into trouble," Fleet Admiral Sengoku said, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Tch, this is just testing your courage," Fanxin said. "What's wrong? Have you become more timid since stepping down? Sigh, I really despise you; you're such a coward now."

"Boy, don't try to provoke me. You can't get me to agree to your request like this," said the Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

"Fine, since you disagree, then I disagree too. You can leave now. I need to go back and set up the wedding hall. I don't have time to waste here with an outdated old man like you," Fanxin said.

"I'm outdated? Kid, you underestimate me!" said the Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

"Suit yourself, I'm leaving. Are you sure you want to stop me?" Fanxin said.

Although the Fleet Admiral Sengoku was formidable, his strength was roughly on par with that of Admiral, and he was also getting old, so his strength had inevitably declined somewhat. He shouldn't suffer any losses against his opponent.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" the Fleet Admiral Sengoku asked.

"No, I have other things to do," Fanxin shook her head and said firmly.

"In that case, I have no choice but to take you down by brute force," said the Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

"Hmph, you might not be able to take me down," Fanxin said. "Ren Fang, you go back into the Diamond Space first. I need to take care of some things with this old man."

He was engaged in battle with the Sengoku and couldn't look after Ren Fang. She returned to the Diamond Space, where she was safest.

"Understood, I'll do it right away." Ren Fang nodded in response.

After that, she said no more and immediately returned to the Diamond Space.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, what exactly do you want? Let me tell you, if you keep pestering me, don't blame me for being impolite," Fanxin said coldly.

Although the Fleet Admiral Sengoku were formidable, if it came to a real fight, the outcome was uncertain.

Furthermore, the opponent is Devil Fruit User, and we're currently at the beach. Fanxin has a slight advantage. Once they get the opponent into the sea, they won't be able to jump around anymore.

"Hmph, kid, I was really upset when you messed with me back then. I didn't have time to deal with you then, but now I finally do. If you behave yourself and come with me, I won't make a move. If you don't behave, don't blame me for being impolite, understand?" said Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

His expression was stern, for he still harbored resentment over what happened two years ago. Back then, the Marine Headquarters was devastated, and Fanxin had taken the opportunity to attack them—wasn't that incredibly embarrassing for them?

He was very unhappy because the other party was rubbing salt into his wound.

But it's alright, they made it through in the end. Now, he has time to mess around with Fanxin.

"Oh, so you hold a grudge like that. You really are a stubborn old man. Okay, I admit, what I did back then wasn't very ethical. But why did you kill Ace? You can't blame me for that. He was my friend. You killed him, and I wanted to save him. That's perfectly normal! Why can you kill him, but I can't save him?" Fanxin said, dissatisfied.

If the Navy hadn't targeted Ace like that, he wouldn't have bothered going there. Because back then, his strength wasn't that great.

He went there; that's very dangerous. He's taking a huge risk.

At that time, it was Whitebeard who went there that gave him the courage to go. So, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on him.

"Heh, this matter is over, and I'm too lazy to say anything more to you." Fleet Admiral Sengoku said, "I stopped you today because you're a pirate, and I'm a soldier. It's only right that I arrest you, understand?"

"Alright, I can't refute that reason, but I won't surrender easily. Take this!" Fanxin shouted.

No matter how justified the other party's reasons may be, he will not give up resisting. He has many people who need his protection, and he cannot simply obey because of a single word from the other party!

Firstly, although he became a pirate, he didn't do anything outrageous. Therefore, his arrest was somewhat unjust.

Therefore, he would never surrender easily.

Seeing that Fanxin was not completely resigned, Fleet Admiral Sengoku immediately attacked Fanxin. He used the power of the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Daibutsu, unleashing countless shockwaves that blasted Fanxin far away.
