Setting Sail (Part One)

For the next few days, Fanxin, the Little Black Cat, and the others were busy with this.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the house renovation progressed faster and faster. In less than nine days, two-thirds of the house was renovated.

However, they haven't brought in any residents from outside yet. The houses were just renovated, and it will take some time before they're fully furnished.

On the tenth day, Fanxin and everyone else stopped.

Since they're leaving today, and there's not much work left, the Little Black Cat's Soul Clone controlling the robot should be able to handle it, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

"Alright, go and prepare. Transport all your necessities onto the ship. We'll leave around noon," Fanxin said.

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

Fanxin himself went to the third level of Wolf Valley to Ren Fang.

Once inside the room, Fanxin immediately went to Ren Fang's side.

At this moment, Ren Fang was reading a book, looking very relaxed and at ease.

On the ground were many suitcases, which contained Ren Fang's necessities. Of course, besides hers, the child's and Fanxin's belongings were also all inside.

The baby will be born soon, so naturally all the necessities for him/her need to be prepared.

"Are you done?" Fanxin sat down next to Ren Fang and asked with a smile.

Ren Fang looked at Fanxin and said, "I've been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you. Why are you so late?"

"Oh, so you're mocking me now? Honestly," Fanxin Xin said, displeased.

"Hmph, I'm just teasing you, what are you going to do about it?" Ren Fang pouted, looking very cute.

"Fine, you have a child to back you up, I'm scared of you. Let's go, I'll take you into the Diamond Space," Fanxin said.

They were leaving soon and couldn't stay here any longer. However, Ren Fang absolutely couldn't stay outside because she was pregnant, and it would be very dangerous if she were attacked.

She was very safe inside her Diamond Space, because no one would attack her there, and she was protected by Diamond Beast.

"Okay, go ahead and do it," Ren Fang nodded and said.

Fanxin nodded, and then without further hesitation, he immediately carried Ren Fang into the Diamond Space.

Inside the Diamond Space, Fanxin had specially prepared several rooms, each fully furnished with all sorts of furniture. He did this to satisfy Ren Fang, since she was pregnant. If the conditions weren't good, problems could arise.

With everything provided, Ren Fang could live peacefully inside until the baby was born.

Fanxin led Ren Fang to the room, placed her on the bed, and said, "Rest here for a bit, I need to go move some things."

Ren Fang nodded, indicating that she understood.

Without further hesitation, Fanxin went outside and carried all the suitcases on the ground into his spatial dimension.

After everything was settled, Fanxin immediately called Qiangwei over and sent her inside. Her duty was to take good care of Ren Fang until she finished giving birth.

After everything was arranged, Fanxin left the third level of Wolf Valley and went to the second level.

Upon reaching the second floor, Fanxin went to find Chen Yuning.

He's leaving today and wants to ask if she's still coming or not. Regardless, he really likes this girl.

He would agree to any decision she made, as long as it did not violate ethics or morality.

"Alright, little girl, it's your decision. Do you want to stay, or do you want to go out and play?" Fanxin said with a smile.

"Hehe, I'm going to stay and keep Grandpa Nick and the others company. They're so lonely here, I can come and keep them company," Chen Yuning said, tilting her head.

The two old men spent their days playing chess or having martial arts matches, which she found quite boring. Her presence here would bring them much more enjoyment. She was confident the two old men would be very happy.

"I see. In that case, big brother will have to go." Fanxin said, "But don't worry, my Soul Clone will stay here with you, so you won't be too lonely, understand?"

"Okay, I understand. Are the other friends' Soul Clone here too?" Chen Yuning asked.

"Yes, their Soul Clone are all on the ninth floor. If you're free, you can go up there and play; they'll keep you company," Fanxin said.

"Okay, go say goodbye to your two grandfathers! Otherwise, if they start fighting, you won't have time to say goodbye," Chen Yuning said.

Grandpa Nick and Senior Li Kecheng always liked to fight, and once they started, they wouldn't stop for hours.

Therefore, if Fanxin wanted to say goodbye, he had to hurry. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to leave without saying goodbye.

"Okay, go ahead and have fun. I'll be right there," Fanxin nodded and said.

He then immediately went to the small house.

Upon arriving there, Fanxin saw the two rubbing their fists together, seemingly about to have a match.

Fanxin Xin immediately rushed over to the two men and said, "Still fighting? You two are really something else."

"Hmph, you even said you wanted us to fight you, but you wouldn't participate! So, we had no choice but to take matters into our own hands," Grandpa Nick said, displeased.

"Alright, I admit I was wrong." Fanxin gave a wry smile and said, "Oh, right, I came here to say goodbye. I'm going out to make my own way in the world, so I won't be able to stay with you two for a while. Please take care of yourselves."

"Alright, is everything else arranged?" Senior Li Kecheng asked.

"Yes, I've arranged everything. My clone will be in charge here. I absolutely won't ask you two to step in unless it's absolutely necessary. You two can just relax and enjoy your retirement," Fanxin said with a smile.

These two are just there to keep him in check; he generally won't use them unless absolutely necessary.

"Alright, didn't you leave a clone here? To the Soul Clan, Soul Clone is no different from the original. So, in a sense, you haven't left us," Grandpa Nick said. "Therefore, don't act like it's a matter of life and death."

A member of the Soul Clan only needs a wisp of their soul to survive. Even if most of their soul is destroyed, they can be reborn with that single wisp.

Fanxin's soul remained intact; this wisp of soul, though only a part, was enough to represent his entire being.

"That makes sense. Alright, since you've said that, I won't be coy anymore. I'll be going now, you guys go ahead and get busy," Fanxin said with a smile.

Senior Li Kecheng and Grandpa Nick nodded and let Fanxin leave.

Without further hesitation, Fanxin Xin headed towards the entrance to the second level of Wolf Valley. Upon arriving, Fanxin turned and glanced back before resolutely departing.

"Hehe, that kid's trip this time will surely disrupt the peace of the entire New World," Senior Li Kecheng said.

Fanxin had always been very cautious in his search for his parents, because he was afraid that something might happen to him, and if something did happen to him, he would never see his parents again.

However, he no longer needs to worry. His parents have been found and he has even met them.

Now, his dream has changed; it is to find Great One Piece.

Therefore, he will definitely do everything in his power to achieve this goal. And he has no choice but to do so, because many people are searching for this treasure.

In the past, he was eager to fight in order to find his parents, but he also tried his best to avoid fighting.

However, now they all share the same goal: the Great One Piece.

It's impossible for him not to fight.

Fanxin is very strong; if he gets involved in the battle, he will definitely cause a lot of headaches.

Therefore, he was certain that the New World would not be peaceful; it would inevitably be a place of great upheaval and change.

"Yes, oh, by the way, who do you think will become the Pirate King?" Grandpa Nick asked curiously.

"That's hard to say. In the New World, there are countless experts. It's extremely difficult for anyone to stand out and become the strongest. Only those with great perseverance can achieve that," said Senior Li Kecheng.

"Yes, I just don't know if Fanxin will have the luck to become the Pirate King," Grandpa Nick said.

"I don't know about that," Senior Li Kecheng said. "Alright, let's not speculate anymore. What's the use of thinking too much? Nobody can say for sure right now. Let's just do our thing and wait patiently."

Becoming the Pirate King is no easy feat. The Four Emperors have been arguing about it for years, yet none of them have achieved the Pirate King.

This shows that strength alone is not enough to become the Pirate King; a lot of luck is also required.

Both are indispensable.

Therefore, no one can say for sure who will become the Pirate King in the end.

"That's true. Since that's the case, I won't say any more. Let's go, let's go have a match now. I've rested for several days, I'm determined to settle things once and for all," said Grandpa Nick.

"Hmph, I'm going to settle this once and for all. In the Navy, I'm a formidable force. Anyone who's faced me either gets defeated or sneaks away, too afraid to fight me. You showed up and made me look bad. I'm going to settle this score," Senior Li Kecheng said.

"Hmph, you're lying. There are countless experts in the Navy. I don't believe they're all afraid of you," Grandpa Nick said disbelievingly.

The two were unhappy and started arguing.

Finally, they clashed, and the place descended into complete chaos.

From a distance, Chen Yuning watched, shaking her head helplessly. Then, she went off to study her chess skills by herself, ignoring the two.

After leaving Wolf Valley, Fan Xin Fanxin headed towards the sea.

By this time, everyone was ready and waiting for him to arrive.

Fanxin smiled, and after boarding the ship, said, "Alright, let's set sail. Our next target is the Great One Piece. Whoever dares to try and steal it from me, I will never let them get away with it."

This is his dream, and he will absolutely not be polite to anyone who tries to stop him.

"Hehe, what would you do if the Straw Hat Pirates blocked your path?" Bingfeng said with a chuckle.

"You really know how to nitpick!" Fanxin said.

"There's nothing we can do. That kid's target is also Great One Piece. We can't ignore it even if we want to," Bingfeng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, that's indeed the case. In that case, I have no choice but to take action."

"Hehe, that was quite a show," Bingfeng said.

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it too. It's been a long time since I've fought that kid. I really wonder how strong he is now," Fanxin said.

He fought Straw Hat Boy in the East Blue, but hasn't fought him since.

At that time, he defeated the Straw Hat Boy, making the Straw Hat Boy suffer a great loss.

However, several years have passed, and he has become stronger, as has the Straw Hat Boy.

He wasn't entirely certain that he was stronger than the Straw Hat Boy.

However, he believed that his fight with the Straw Hat Boy would definitely be a spectacular performance.

"Alright, enough talk. Let's set sail now, or we'll have to dock soon," Fanxin said.

It's noon now, and there are only a few hours until evening. If they keep dawdling, they won't be able to set sail.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and returned to their respective posts.

This is a new ship, twice the size of the original. The reason it's so large is due to the demands of Fanxin.

Because he left Wolf Valley behind, everyone will have a place to hide if they encounter danger in the future.

If the boat is too small, then everyone will just be waiting to die.

In addition, there are now several hundred more people on board, so they have to make the boat bigger, otherwise there will be nowhere for them to live.

After everything was settled, everyone turned the boat around and headed off into the distance.

However, Fanxin didn't know was that Grandpa Nick and Senior Li Kecheng, who were originally fighting, stopped at this moment, walked out of Wolf Valley, and watched Fanxin and the others leave.

Although they have all left behind Soul Clone, these Soul Clones are here, which is equivalent to them being here in person.

However, in a strict sense, they are still the real people.

The Soul Clone are merely left behind as a precaution.

Therefore, they were still quite concerned about Fanxin and the others leaving. However, in order not to give Fanxin any hesitation, they deliberately made it sound very casual.

"Hehe, from now on we'll only see them in the newspapers. I hope they're all doing well," Grandpa Nick said.

This time, they'll truly be facing the Four Emperors. The Four Emperors have dominated the New World for many years, their strength is undeniable, and it will be incredibly difficult for them to fight their way through.

"Let's be more optimistic. They're not weak either, so let's not think the outcome will be so bad," Senior Li Kecheng said with a smile.
