Cornered Beast (1)

Yes, their goal is to completely destroy the Fanxin Pirates.

The reason for this is that there can only be one Pirate King, and the more people vie for the title, the more brutal the battles will become.

If they act now and eliminate these potential enemies as soon as possible, then everything will be fine.

Because the dead cannot come back to life and compete for the title of Pirate King.

Therefore, nowadays, those established powers have secretly dispatched all sorts of assassins in order to eliminate those weaker individuals who are likely to become their opponents.

Although Fanxin had only recently entered the New World, he had already made a name for himself, and those people naturally worried that Fanxin would pose a threat to them. Therefore, they planned to eliminate Fanxin as soon as possible. In this way, they would have one less major enemy.

Those people weren't just targeting the Heavenly Soul Pirates of Fanxin; the Straw Hat Pirates and others were also within their attack range.

Therefore, they are all in great danger now, because they are being followed by some deadly figures.

However, Fanxin paid no attention to these things. He had arranged for a Soul Clone on the ship, which would immediately detect anyone approaching.

By then, they will know that someone is approaching.

Therefore, these people might be somewhat useful if they charge in head-on. But if they launch a sneak attack, they will definitely come to no avail.

"Boss, there's an island up ahead!" one of the henchmen rushed over and said.

"Oh, immediately send out robots to check if there are any humans living up there?" Fanxin said immediately upon hearing this.

If there are people living up there, then they can go and buy food. If not, then they have to leave.

"Okay, I'll send the robot over right away," the underling said.

As he spoke, he immediately released several robots, sending them into the sky to observe the entire island.

Soon after, the robots returned.

After asking a few questions, the henchman immediately came to find Fanxin.

"How is it?" Fanxin asked curiously, smelling the aroma.

"According to the robot's report, there are people living up there; it's just one village left," the henchman said.

"Oh, in that case, let's go to the island. We'll have some fun there and leave in a couple of days," Fanxin said after a moment's thought.

"Understood." The man nodded and immediately went into the control room to relay Fanxin's orders.

The ship then headed towards the island ahead.

Half an hour later, the boat arrived next to the island.

Fanxin Xin immediately lowered the anchor and went ashore. The others followed suit.

On the ship, only a few robots remained to guard it. However, although they were all robots, they should not be underestimated, as they had all been upgraded and were much stronger than before.

With them guarding the ship, there will absolutely be no problem.

Soon, everyone arrived on the island.

Fanxin, on the other hand, instructed the Little Black Cat to sink the ship into the sea, which would be much safer.

After they had finished, they headed towards the village in the forest.

As soon as he entered the forest, Fanxin noticed that many eyes were watching him.

Fanxin was taken aback. He used his Haki to sense the situation and discovered that many people were watching them. They were hiding very well, so ordinary people could not detect them.

However, Fanxin's perception was very sharp, and he noticed it immediately.

"Be careful, the people here don't seem very friendly," Fanxin said.

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

After that, everyone stopped talking and continued walking inside.

An hour later, they were getting closer and closer to the village. They could already see the outline of the village.

However, just then, a burst of wild laughter came from the forest, and soon a dozen or so people dressed as farmers ran out of the woods and blocked their way.

The man at the head of the group, with a thick beard, glanced at Fanxin and said, "You're the captain of the Heavenly Soul Pirates, right?"

Upon hearing this, Fanxin and the others were stunned.

Because this is a remote place, the people here probably know very little about what's happening outside.

However, the other party was well aware that this did not make sense.

Fanxin glanced at the other party, then laughed and said, "Hehe, you've hidden yourselves quite well, actually pretending to be farmers here. You're really something. Tell me, which organization do you belong to?"

Fanxin am certain that these people are not ordinary farmers, because they know far too much.

He suspected these guys were a gang of assassins, but he wasn't sure who they served.

However, he couldn't be bothered to care anymore. Anyone who dared to target him, no matter who they were, he wouldn't let them off easily.

"We were sent by the Big Mom, kid. This is your final resting place, understand?" the bearded man said with a smile.

The others nodded in agreement and began to chime in.

"Heh, do you think I'm that easy to kill?" Fanxin's face turned cold as she spoke.

He was very strong; even Admiral couldn't kill him easily. It was absolutely impossible for these small fry to kill him.

"Heh, we understand. Dealing with you is indeed a bit difficult. However, we won't fight you, because someone will take care of you," said the bearded man.

"Oh, really? Then let him come out." Fanxin Xin said immediately. He also wanted to see who this person who wanted to target him was, daring to make such boastful claims.

"Hehe, you'll find out soon enough. Just wait inside for now," the man said. Then he prepared to leave.

However, Fanxin would not let the other party go easily; now that he was here, he would absolutely not let him go.

He used his Birdcage technique to trap the dozen or so people inside. Now, it was virtually impossible for them to escape.

The bearded man looked at him, his expression turning somewhat grim, and said, "We're no match for you. You've got the wrong person. I'm just here to deliver a message."

"Hehe, sorry, you called me their accomplice. Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to kill you," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

"You..." Upon hearing this, the bearded man's face turned even uglier. If Fanxin really intended to make a move, he would be in grave danger.

"Hey, can you wait a moment?" the bearded man asked.

His men haven't arrived yet. If Fanxin makes a move now, he'll suffer a great loss.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to wait," Fanxin said, shaking her head.

As he spoke, Fanxin prepared to take action and deal with these few.

However, at that moment, a cold voice rang out, shouting, "If you kill them, your men will die too."

Upon hearing this, Fanxin glanced to the side and saw a tall man standing there, with several of his companions in his hands.

The man had blood-red hair, and beside him was a cheetah with blood-red eyes, giving off a very dangerous feeling.

"Hehe, who are you?" Fanxin asked with a smile.

"My name is Longquan, a freelance assassin. Someone paid me a high price to kill all of you," the man said.

"Oh, you're so confident you can kill all of us?" Fanxin asked with a smile.

"I can't do it alone, but I brought several companions with me this time. Ying'ai can kill you all," the man said with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad, it seems you've prepared very well." Fanxin said, "Alright, let's exchange people now. You can take your people, and I want mine back."

He didn't want his brother to die, so at this point, he had no choice but to compromise with the other side; otherwise, things would really get complicated.

"Okay," the Red Hair man nodded and said.

Fanxin Xin nodded, then immediately opened the Birdcage and let the guys out. After they came out, they went straight to Longquan's side.

They then immediately drew their weapons and took Fanxin's companions hostage.

"What do you mean by this?" Fanxin's face turned cold. He had already released the person, yet this guy was still using his companion as a hostage, which infuriated him.

"Sorry, I've already released them. They refused to let go. You should try to find them," the Red Hair man said, taking a few steps back. The cheetah also immediately retreated, deciding not to get involved.

"Release them," Fanxin said.

"Heh, kid, your men are in my hands. The only thing you can do now is to commit suicide here. Only in this way can you save your companions, understand? If you don't do as I say, they are doomed." The bearded man said coldly.

They wore sinister smiles; clearly, they intended to use such despicable means to threaten Fanxin and force Fanxin to surrender.

He hadn't originally planned to do this, because he had just seen that Fanxin seemed to value his companions a lot.

In this way, he could use this to threaten Fanxin.

"Hmph, as expected, a bunch of fearless bastards. In that case, I'll send you to your deaths," Fanxin said coldly.

As he spoke, Fanxin glanced at Bingfeng and said, "Kill without mercy."

He'd been annoyed with these guys for a long time, and this one dared to threaten him? Wasn't he just asking for death?

Therefore, he decided that this time, he would definitely take drastic measures to make these guys understand the consequences of offending him.

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

Then she walked forward.

The bearded man's face immediately turned cold when he saw Bingfeng approaching. He said, "Hmph, you bitch, if you dare come any closer, I'll kill them all."

As he spoke, he pressed the knife against the Bingfeng's neck, as if to say, "You'd better not push me, or you'll face the consequences."

"You're asking for it." Bingfeng immediately attacked.

She unleashed her ice-attribute ability, and in a short while, countless ice blocks burst forth from her body, instantly freezing everything around her.

Those people were naturally frozen into ice sculptures as well.

After finishing, Wang Yan immediately went over, brought his companions over, and melted the ice off them.

As for those guys, Wang Yan ignored them.

Since those guys deserve to die, let them freeze to death with ice.

After finishing, Fanxin looked at the Red Hair man, Longquan, and said, "Aren't they your companions? Why didn't you help them?"

"Hehe, I have nothing to do with them. They just told me where you were, that's all. So, if they want to die, there's nothing I can do," Longquan said with a laugh.

"Hehe, you're really sensible," Fanxin said.

"Not entirely. I just don't like using such underhanded methods. I had no choice but to resort to this when you caught them. However, I've already saved them once, which is more than enough. Therefore, I don't need to help them any further," Longquan shrugged and said.

"Alright, now let's settle the score properly. You won't object, will you?" Fanxin asked, looking at the other person.

If this guy comes to kill him, he naturally won't let him off easily. Of course, if the guy is smart enough to back down now, he might let him go.

"Of course, I won't hold back from now on. You'd better watch out, and so should your friends," Longquan said.

He was reminding us, and also warning us.

"Hehe, thanks. But you should still call your friends out, otherwise things will get complicated," Fanxin said.

It's absolutely impossible for one person to wipe them all out.

So, he was warning the other party that it was best not to act alone, otherwise, he would suffer a terrible death.

"Don't worry, they'll step in when it matters most," Longquan said.

What he meant was that he was not yet willing to call out his companions.

This made Fanxin very frustrated. He wanted to have a head-on confrontation with these guys.

However, they are now hiding their true intentions, making it difficult for him to engage in battle.

However, although she felt somewhat frustrated, Fanxin didn't say anything more.

No matter who comes later, as long as they dare to come here, he will make sure they understand the consequences of offending him.

After that, Fanxin didn't say anything more and immediately sent the Little Fox into battle. The opponent was only one person; it wouldn't be fair for so many of them to attack together.

So, Fanxin decided to let the Little Fox handle the situation. The Little Fox was quite powerful; with it taking action, there was little chance of anything going wrong.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely beat this bastard to a pulp. He dares to kill us, he's asking for death," the Little Fox said. As it spoke, it walked step by step towards Longquan.

When Longquan saw that it was a Little Fox, he immediately looked down on it and said, "Hey, don't be like that. I'm a top-notch assassin, you know. What kind of person brings over a fox?"

He assumed the fox was a pet, so he was unwilling to make a move.
