A Conversation (3)

It's been several years since Fanxin left the place where she grew up. She misses Grandpa Nick very much.

However, he was unable to get away and had to give up his plan to go back.

Now, everything is ready. He's going to pick up Grandpa Nick so he can enjoy his retirement.

"Okay, let's pick a day to go," Ren Fang said.

"Okay, let's do it in the next few days. I'll make the arrangements here, and then we'll go together," Fanxin said.

Upon hearing this, Ren Fang nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem.

Afterwards, Fanxin took care of Ren Fang so she could rest. Ren Fang was pregnant and needed to rest properly.

Once Ren Fang fell asleep, Fanxin left the room and went outside.

After leaving, he went straight to the second floor to find Senior Li Kecheng. He needed to make proper arrangements before leaving for a while, otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease.

"Senior, you seem quite relaxed." Fanxin arrived at Senior Li Kecheng's house and saw him playing chess with Yu Ning, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, now that I'm retired, I'm naturally quite relaxed. When you retire, won't it be the same?" Senior Li Kecheng said with a smile.

"Not now, I have a lot of things to do," Fanxin said, shaking her head.

He has many things to attend to and cannot leave for the time being. He will only come here to live in seclusion after everything is settled.

"Hehe, young people should go out and explore. You're still young now. Come back here and live a leisurely life in twenty years," said Senior Li Kecheng.

"It doesn't have to be that long. Maybe in a few years, I'll come here to live in seclusion," Fanxin said with a smile.

All he has to wait for now is the Great One Piece. Once the Great One Piece appears, his task will be complete.

However, the Great One Piece has not yet been revealed. Therefore, he must persevere.

"That's a good idea. We can have a friendly match then," said Senior Li Kecheng.

"As you wish," Fanxin Xin nodded in agreement.

"Speak, what brings you here to see me?" Senior Li Kecheng said. Fanxin rarely visits without a reason; his coming to see you must mean something important.

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from you, senior. Yes, I came here to ask for your help," Fanxin nodded and said.

He gave a wry smile. The old fox was indeed shrewder. He could read the other man's mind with just a glance.

"Speak," said Senior Li Kecheng.

"Yes, I'm leaving here in a few days. It will just be Ren Fang and me. Please take care of everything here and make sure nothing happens to them, okay?" Fanxin said.

"You're leaving, just the two of you. What are you going to do?" Li Kecheng asked curiously.

"That's great news! I'm going to find you a chess partner. He's my grandfather, and he's been taking care of me since I was little. Before, I had no fixed abode, so I didn't go back to fetch him, but now I've settled here. So, I'm planning to bring him over to live with us. Otherwise, he'll be too lonely all alone in the forest," Fanxin said.

Upon hearing this, Li Kecheng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

"Don't worry, your crew and I are here. We'll protect everything here and give you back a brand new place when you come back," Senior Li Kecheng nodded and said.

"Alright, in that case, thank you very much, Senior Li Kecheng." Fanxin nodded in response.

"Okay, go ahead and don't worry. We'll take care of everything here," Li Kecheng said. "Oh, by the way, go and let everyone know, so it'll be easier for us to communicate."

Upon hearing this, Fanxin nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Then, he patted Yuning's little head and left, heading outside Wolf Valley.

He called the Little Black Cat over and said, "Gather everyone here immediately and tell them I have something to announce."

"Oh, what's wrong?" the Little Black Cat asked curiously.

"I'll be leaving for a while. Before I go, I need to make all the necessary arrangements," Fanxin said.

"Leave? Why?" the Little Black Cat asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, I'm going to pick up Grandpa Nick. He lives there all alone, and I'm really worried about him. Here, he can live freely," Fanxin said.

"Oh, is that so? Okay, I understand." Upon hearing this, the Little Black Cat didn't hesitate and immediately went to do it.

It was also cared for by Grandpa Nick when it was a cub; without him, it might have been killed by other wild animals long ago.

Therefore, it was also very grateful to Grandpa Nick. When Fanxin wanted to take him in, it wholeheartedly agreed.

It immediately went over and summoned everyone over.

When everyone had gathered around Fanxin, the Little Black Cat also returned to Fanxin's side.

"Everyone, I've gathered you all here today because I'm leaving for a few days. I want to go back and bring my grandfather, who has taken care of me since I was little, to live here in his old age. He's quite lonely living alone, but here, with all of you for company, he'll be very happy."

Fanxin said, "Therefore, I may not be here for the next few months. I have already told Senior Li Kecheng that if a major enemy invades, you should go directly to him and have him take charge."

"Of course, if it's just some kids, then don't call them. You can handle it yourselves, understand?"

"Yes!" everyone shouted.

"Very good, now I'll make the arrangements." Fanxin said, "Starting tomorrow, everything will be decided by Bingfeng, Bingfeng, Qiangwei, Lin Haicheng, and the Little Black Cat. If you all agree, then carry it out; if you disagree on anything, then discuss it properly. Understand?" Fanxin said sternly.

Without him, everyone lacks a pillar of support; no matter what, he cannot allow them to act recklessly.

He arranged for so many people to preside over the meeting so that they could think things through carefully. As long as everyone agrees, then there shouldn't be any major problems with the decision.

If everyone disagrees, then there's something wrong with the decision.

"Understood, don't worry!" the group replied.

"Well, I'm not worried about anything else. What I'm worried about is procurement. You're leaving this island, and without the protection of your companions, it will be very dangerous. Therefore, you must be extra careful. The New World is not on the right track lately, and it's best not to get involved," Fanxin warned.

Although no major war has occurred recently, he believes that a major war is not far off.

If everyone isn't careful, it could be very dangerous.

"Understood, don't worry, we'll handle it." Bingfeng nodded in response.

"Yes, if anything comes up, just contact Senior Li Kecheng. I'll need at most four months," Fanxin nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.

After that, Fanxin stopped talking about the evil spirit and immediately went back to his room.

"How is it going? Is everything arranged?" Ren Fang asked.

"Okay, let's pack up. We'll head over there first thing tomorrow morning," Fanxin said.

Ren Fang nodded and immediately began packing her things.

Meanwhile, Fanxin Xin took the opportunity to create a Soul Clone and placed it on the ninth floor of Wolf Valley. At the same time, just to be on the safe side, he placed five hundred Diamond Beast there, so that if any powerful beings attacked, he could send the Diamond Beast to attack them.

The Diamond Beast's attacks are powerful and relentless; with them taking action, there will be absolutely no problem.

After finishing, Fanxin finally stopped.

Now that everything is arranged, he can set off.

The next day, he had breakfast with everyone, and then left with Ren Fang, the robot Xiaoling, and Xiaowei.

They boarded a small boat and headed towards the Calm Belt.

This time, he didn't want to return the way he came, because it would be pointless. He wanted to get back as soon as possible. So, he came up with a plan: to cross the Calm Belt directly.

Once he reached the Calm Belt, he was in another sea area. Meanwhile, Grandpa Nick was in the East Blue.

He can arrive in the fastest speed and the shortest time by driving in a straight line.

"Xiaowei, Xiaoling, you can speed up, we're fine," Fanxin said.

He and Ren Fang had a drink on the boat; the table was set with many delicious dishes.

He felt the speed was still too slow, so he hoped they could speed it up.

"Alright, you all hold on tight." Xiaoling nodded slightly upon hearing this, then headed off into the distance.

"Come on, let's drink," Fanxin said with a smile.

"I'm pregnant, so I can't drink alcohol," Ren Fang said with a smile.

"Oh, right, I forgot about that. Okay, you can have your milk." Nodding, Fanxin drank her milk by herself.

Ren Fang, on the other hand, substituted milk for wine and drank heartily with Fanxin there.

Xiaowei and Xiaoling Ling took turns controlling the boat, and with their frenzied efforts, the boat's speed reached its maximum.

A month later, they arrived at the Calm Belt.

Fanxin glanced at it and calmly walked in.

Previously, the Calm Belt was a terrifying place for him. It was inhabited by Sea Kings were incredibly frightening. If they were caught by Sea Kings, they would only face certain death.

However, now that he's stronger, he's no longer afraid of Sea Kings. If those guys want to die and attack him, he won't hold back at all.

"Sigh, this used to be a no-go zone for us, but now it's child's play for us," Ren Fang said with a smile.

She used to be terrified of this place because it was truly terrifying.

However, she no longer cares about any of that now.

"That makes sense." Fanxin nodded and said, "Let's go, ignore them for now. If these guys are blind, we'll deal with them later."

Fanxin Xin continued drinking.

Ren Fang, meanwhile, fell asleep nestled in Fanxin's arms.

Xiaowei and Xiaoling continued to steer the boat towards the other side of the Calm Belt.

There's no wind here, so they'll have to expend a lot of effort. Fortunately, they prepared plenty of raw materials before entering the Calm Belt. This way, they don't need to worry about running out of supplies.

They did not encounter any attacks from Sea Kings along their journey.

However, the Calm Belt are very long and wide, and they cannot remain unharmed forever.

Sure enough, on the tenth day after they entered the Calm Belt, more than a dozen Sea Kings rushed over, intending to target them.

Xiaowei and Xiaoling were about to fight back, but Fanxin stopped them.

Fanxin glanced at those guys, then immediately unleashed his Conqueror's Haki and attacked them.

Those creatures glanced at Fanxin, and finally broke out in a cold sweat. Immediately afterward, they all hid underwater, too afraid to confront Fanxin.

"Hehe, really strong," Ren Fang said with a smile.

"That's right, these guys pose no threat to me now," Fanxin nodded in agreement.

His Conqueror's Haki was enough to intimidate these guys. With him intimidating them, they wouldn't have anything to worry about.

Because Fanxin possessed Conqueror's Haki, he was able to turn danger into safety. Therefore, they did not encounter any major troubles along the way.

More than ten days later, they left the Calm Belt and headed directly towards their destination.

Because he wanted to see Grandpa Nick as soon as possible, Fanxin didn't rest much along the way and kept traveling. As a result, his speed increased considerably.

After more than ten days of travel, Fanxin finally arrived at the place where he lived as a child.

The island is still there, and so is the place.

Looking at that place, Fanxin was filled with emotion. Only a few years had passed, yet he had experienced countless things.

"I really miss it. If possible, I want to move everything here," Fanxin said.

They won't be able to live here anymore. So, if possible, he wouldn't mind taking this place with him and putting it in his own temporary home.

"Grandpa Nick's ability is to manipulate the earth, I think he should be able to do it," Ren Fang said.

"I hope so!" Fanxin Xin nodded and said.

"Come on, let's go ashore," Fanxin said. Then, he took Ren Fang's hand and returned to the shore.

He then put the boat inside, leaving Xiaoling and Xiaowei outside.

"Who are you to dare trespass on my territory? Are you looking for death?" Just as they were about to enter, a loud voice rang out.

Fanxin listened for a moment, and it was his grandfather's voice; he was very familiar with that voice.

"Hehe, Grandpa Nick, it's me, Fanxin, and Ren Fang too!" Fanxin called out loudly. His voice was so loud that the whole forest could hear it.

"Mortal... Fanxin?" Upon hearing this, the owner of the voice paused for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, don't you remember? When we were little, you were the one who raised me, that mischievous Fanxin," Fanxin said.

"Hehe, it's you, kid. What brings you back? Were you driven to desperation, so you came here to seek refuge with me?" Grandpa Nick said.
