"Let's take action ourselves. We know where he is. Once we find him, we can act immediately," the Little Black Cat said.

It found transmitting signals too troublesome; by the time it transmitted them, everyone needed time to react.

That guy seemed to have become Haki, so by the time they realized what was happening, he was already gone.

If this continues, they will never be able to kill the other side.

But the other party can keep bothering them, which is very annoying.

"That makes sense. Alright, we'll take action ourselves, and you should also notify everyone so they can launch an attack at any time," Fanxin said upon hearing this.

They had been attacking for a long time but hadn't managed to kill their opponent, which greatly annoyed him.

"Okay, I understand," Ma Cheng replied.

Without saying anything more, they immediately launched their attack.

They followed the man wherever he went, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Seeing that Fanxin and the others were getting in the way, the man got angry and immediately revealed himself.

"Hehe, you've finally shown yourself. I thought you were going to hide your identity forever," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Hmph, with you here, there's no point in me hiding myself." The tall man said with dissatisfaction.

That's indeed the case. Fanxin can find him with unerring accuracy, and he can no longer hide himself.

In the face of Fanxin, concealing his form would be far less effective than simply confronting Fanxin directly.

"Hmph, good to know. Tell me, why did you return? What is your purpose?" Fanxin asked curiously.

The guy had left long ago. He couldn't find him anymore.

It's truly astonishing that he has returned within just a few hours.

He wanted to figure out what the other party's purpose was.

"Hmph, kid, I'll tell you. I'm here to get revenge on you. I want to destroy everything you have, understand? Of course, if you give me what I want, I might consider letting you go," the tall man said.

"You're still not giving up on those silver snakes?" Fanxin said upon hearing this.

"Hmph, I've been on that island for years, all for those silver snakes. Many of my companions have become powerful because of me, with only a very few remaining to stay with me," the tall man said. "That's what I've always wanted, and I won't give it up easily. I've put so much effort into it; you think you can make me give up with just a few words? Absolutely not."

"I'm sorry, but I don't care how many years you've been there, or how much emotion you've invested. In short, those silver snakes are mine now, and I can't return them to you. If you insist on clinging to me, then war is the only option between us," Fanxin said.

"I can tell you, I intended to let you go before. However, I won't do that next," Fanxin said. "At that time, you will die, and you will die a horrible death. So, think about it carefully."

This was a warning; he hoped the other party would back down and stop lingering on the matter, as it was pointless for him.

However, the tall man became furious at Fanxin's advice. He shouted, "Hmph, if something of yours were suddenly stolen by someone else, what would you do? Would you give up, or would you go and take it back?"

"I will go and take it back," Fanxin said firmly.

He naturally wanted to take back what was his. However, whether he could actually get it back was another matter entirely.

"If that's the case, then so am I. I just want my things back, that's all, understand?" the tall man said.

"Are you sure you don't want to give up and are determined to stick with it to the end?" Fanxin asked.

"That's right, I will never give up. Even if I die here, I will take back what I want," the tall man said resolutely.

"Alas, even if you obtain the Silver Serpent, it won't be of much use. The Silver Serpent's stamina is limited, and you can't use it indefinitely. Besides, you can hardly grasp the Silver Serpent's habits. What good is it if you obtain it? In battle, you mainly rely on your own abilities. If your own abilities are insufficient, having many weapons is useless," Fanxin advised.

He was warning the other person, hoping they could see reality clearly. He didn't want them to lose their life for something external.

"Hmph, enough nonsense. Either give it to me, or I'll keep bothering you and driving you crazy. The choice is yours," the tall man said with a cold snort.

"Is that so? It seems you really are stubborn. In that case, I'll grant your wish." Fanxin said, immediately instructing the Little Black Cat to change the shape of the ship.

In this situation, it's difficult for him to fight because there are rooms everywhere, making it easy for his opponent to avoid his attacks.

Without another word, the Little Black Cat immediately activated the ship's transformation mode.

Soon after, the ship turned into a plank made of wood and floated on the sea.

This has become the best battlefield; you can fight to your heart's content here.

Fanxin glanced at the other person and said, "This is your own doing, don't blame me."

"Hmph, you think you can really kill me? Let me tell you, you can't," the tall man said confidently.

"Sure, since you don't believe me, I can grant your wish." Fanxin said, immediately releasing the Birdcage, which covered the entire area. In this way, it would be impossible for the other party to escape.

He had no choice but to stay in this place and fight him.

He couldn't stop until the other side did. His life was entirely in his hands.

The tall man's expression changed slightly when he realized he was trapped. He began to break free, not wanting to remain trapped.

He attacked frantically, trying to break open the Birdcage.

However, he eventually discovered that no matter how he attacked, he couldn't break the Birdcage.

"Give up, you can't break it," Fanxin said. "This thing is extremely sturdy; ordinary weapons or attacks have no effect on it."

"Hmph, since that's how it is, then I'll kill you right here. Once you're dead, this thing will be gone too," the tall man said.

Abilities originate from the Fanxin; once the Fanxin dies, the ability will naturally disappear as well.

This was his only way to break through the encirclement.

Therefore, he won't give up easily.

"Hmph, do you think you can beat me?" Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

After saying that, he went into the Birdcage and faced the tall man directly.

"We haven't even really fought yet, how do you know I'm no good?" the tall man said dismissively.

"You're arrogant, but let me tell you, arrogance with your mouth won't get you anywhere," Fanxin said. "You have to rely on real skill to be truly impressive."

"Perhaps, but let me tell you, I won't be killed so easily. If you want to kill me, you'll have to pay the price," the tall man said coldly.

His Fanxin threatened his life, so he had no choice but to risk it all.

"Hmph, come on, I'd like to see what you're capable of with your persistent attacks," Fanxin said with a cold snort.

Having said that, he took the initiative and launched an attack.

The tall man didn't hesitate any longer and immediately accepted the challenge.

Soon after, the two began fighting.

The two sides were engaged in a fierce battle.

As soon as Fanxin attacked, he immediately summoned the thin thread and threw it directly at the tall man, hoping to trap him.

If the other party is trapped, then things will be much easier.

At that point, he can target the other party however he wants, and the other party will have nowhere to hide.

However, the tall man remained very cautious about the attacks from Fanxin.

Unfortunately, he hadn't been careful and had allowed Fanxin to trap him. Now, getting out would be difficult.

He must first defeat his opponent; only then can he get out of here.

However, in order to deal with his opponent, Fanxin would not let him escape so easily.

While attacking, he typically used a small Birdcage to trap his opponent.

In this way, the opponent's range of movement became smaller and smaller, until finally, he was unable to move at all.

The tall man watched, his expression turning grim. If things continued like this, things would get complicated. He could very well become a sitting duck.

"Heh, kid, I told you not to pester me. I let you go before, so you should have left, understand?" Fanxin said with dissatisfaction.

He originally didn't want to hurt the other person, since he had stolen their belongings. However, the other person was still ungrateful and insisted on chasing after him. So, naturally, he couldn't be polite.

"Hmph, I won't admit defeat," the tall man said coldly.

"Do as you please. I just want to tell you that in the New World, the winner takes all, and the loser is condemned." Fanxin said, "You should know your current situation. I just want to tell you that since you've become a pirate, you should be prepared for that, understand?"

"Here, there is no justice, only victory and defeat; it's that simple."

"Alright, you can leave now!" With that, Fanxin removed the Birdcage and stopped attacking the other party.

The opponent is now a trapped beast; he's set up numerous Birdcage outside. Even if the opponent manages to break through them, he'll exhaust himself here.

At that point, he can do whatever he wants to his opponent. The opponent will be completely powerless to fight back.

He didn't want to deal with someone who couldn't fight back; that wasn't his style.

"You're letting me go?" The tall man was taken aback, somewhat puzzled. He had been about to kill him earlier, but now the other party seemed to have the upper hand.

He was surprised that the other party didn't attack him.

"That's right, I'm too lazy to lay a hand on you. Because I don't want to kill you. Of course, if you really want to die, you can end it yourself, and I'll find you a good place to be buried," Fanxin said.

"Hmph, I'm not going to commit suicide." The tall man stood up, glanced at Fanxin, and said, "I have to admit, your strength is indeed very strong, and your abilities are indeed very strange. However, I can tell you that you will regret letting me go today."

"Maybe so, but let me tell you, every time you come, I can deal with you. In short, you can't escape, understand?" Fanxin said.

This wasn't arrogance, but rather overconfidence. With him here, anyone trying to sneak close would ultimately die.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about being ambushed.

"You're quite confident. I admit defeat this time, but don't get cocky. I won't give up easily," the tall man shouted.

"You're welcome to come and attack anytime, but I hope you'll be smarter next time, or you might really die," Fanxin said with a smile.

He let the other person go because he stole their things. However, he can only let them go once; he can't keep letting them go indefinitely.

Because that would also annoy him.

He always wanted to teach the other party a lesson, to make them understand the consequences of offending him.

This way, the other party will realize that they are not easy to deal with and will not pester them so relentlessly in the future.

"Goodbye." The tall man didn't reply.

This time, he lost, and almost lost his life. No matter how much a loser says, it's useless.

Therefore, he was not going to say anything more.

He then immediately took to the air and left.

Fanxin watched, but ignored it.

Once the other party had completely left, Fanxin had the Little Black Cat turn the boat back to normal.

A few minutes later, the tablet transformed into a giant ship.

"Alright, everyone get back to your posts and get back to work. The other party has already left," Fanxin said.

"Yes, but you'll need to stay outside more often in the future. Some of these guys are incredibly good at hiding. If you don't help, we might not even notice them," the Little Black Cat said.

Previously, everyone was attacked and could only defend passively, mainly because the opponent could become invisible. Moreover, the opponent's invisibility ability was very special, and it could even interfere with the perception of Haki, which was quite abnormal.

Under these circumstances, the only option is for Fanxin to take action and use the Soul Clan Secret Technique to sense the opponent's presence.

Otherwise, you'll never know where the other person is.

You can only ever play a passive defensive role.

"Alright, I'll leave a Soul Clone here from now on. That way, the other party won't be able to get close to this place easily," Fanxin said after a moment of contemplation.

This was indeed a very troublesome situation. If everyone hadn't been quick-witted and managed to avoid any serious incident, he would probably have been extremely frustrated.

Therefore, he decided to create a Soul Clone to reside outside, so that he could clearly sense whoever approached.

He informed everyone, so they wouldn't suffer any losses.
