The Man in a Suit (3)
"They've arrived."
After waiting for more than half an hour, a speedboat caught up quickly and unstoppable. The distance between them was getting closer and closer.
Upon seeing the speedboat, everyone perked up and prepared to engage.
"Leave them to me. If any escape, then you can deal with them," Bingfeng said calmly.
Upon hearing this, no one objected.
This is the ocean, the perfect place for Bingfeng to fight. Her attacks will be twice as effective with half the effort.
Seeing that no one objected, she didn't hesitate any longer. Standing at the stern, she quickly formed hand seals, and in a moment, a huge ice dragon burst forth from her body.
As soon as the ice dragon appeared, it headed straight for the speedboat.
Sensing the danger, the speedboat immediately changed course, avoiding the ice dragon's attack. The ice dragon missed its target and crashed into the sea.
The people on the speedboat chuckled and teased, "Your aim isn't very good; you need to practice more."
"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Bingfeng's lips curled slightly, revealing a sarcastic expression.
The people on the speedboat were oblivious to Bingfeng's strange behavior and continued to tease and mock her.
However, Bingfeng remained calm and composed, standing quietly at the stern without saying a word.
A few minutes later, just as the people on the speedboat were feeling quite smug, Bingfeng formed hand seals again. Then, she pointed at the sea.
"Thousand-Mile Bingfeng," the Bingfeng whispered.
The people on the speedboat didn't understand what "Bingfeng" meant, and their expressions were somewhat blank.
However, the next moment, they understood, because they discovered that the sea was beginning to freeze over, and soon a large area in front of them was completely Bingfeng.
They wanted to drive the speedboat across, but that was almost impossible; they would hit the ice floes.
By then, their speedboat will inevitably fall apart.
"Damn it, what a troublesome bunch of bastards!" the man wielding the spiked club said angrily.
He couldn't catch up with the Fanxin Pirates, so targeting them was impossible. Therefore, he was very anxious and angry.
He signed a pledge to Big Mom; if he fails to defeat the Fanxin Pirates this time, he will face severe punishment.
"Hehe, don't worry, it's just some ice. Watch me." A man with a mustache said casually, without the slightest concern in his expression.
"Oh, you have a way?" The man holding the spiked club paused for a moment, then asked.
"Of course, watch me," the man with the mustache shouted.
Upon hearing this, everyone made way for him to proceed.
The man with the mustache stood up, immediately spread his arms, and with a thought, his body changed a moment later.
His head turned into an eagle's head, his hands into wings, and his feet into eagle claws.
The reason his body underwent this change is because he is Devil Fruit User.
Once ready, he immediately took flight and landed above the large block of ice.
He formed a hand seal, and soon after, countless glowing feathers burst forth from his hair.
Although those things were formed from condensed light, they looked quite powerful.
The man with the mustache chuckled and pointed towards the ice blocks. Moments later, the glowing feathers flew straight towards the ice blocks.
They quickly crashed into the ice.
Soon, a series of popping sounds filled the air as the ice blocks shattered under the attack of the feathers, turning into small chunks.
The ice blocks have become smaller, posing much less of an obstacle to the speedboat.
Therefore, the speedboat did not stop at all and rushed straight past.
The man with the mustache didn't come down; he remained flying in the air, clearing the way for the speedboat.
With his help, the speedboat moved smoothly and got closer and closer to the Fanxin pirate ship.
Bingfeng narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Little Fox, get rid of that troublesome fellow!"
She originally wanted to Bingfeng everything around her; if she could completely Bingfeng the speedboat, that would be even better. Even if that wasn't possible, she could at least stop the speedboat and prevent them from pursuing her.
However, the appearance of the man with the mustache ruined her plans. Therefore, she was very unhappy with that guy.
Upon hearing this, the Little Fox nodded slightly. Without hesitation, it extended its right front paw, aimed at the man, and unleashed a powerful repulsive force, striking him directly and sending him flying quite a distance.
The Little Fox didn't pause for a moment, launching a series of attacks that kept the man busy and unable to pay attention to the ice blocks.
Without his help, the large blocks of ice blocked the speedboat's path, making it extremely difficult for it to pass.
In addition, since the speedboat had been traveling at high speed, it was too late to slow down once the man's help was gone.
Finally, the speedboat had a close encounter with the ice.
The airship crashed into it, its front immediately caved in. Due to inertia, the stern was thrown forward, and the people on board were naturally not spared either.
They all fell onto the ice. Luckily, they were tough and resilient; otherwise, they would probably be seriously injured.
Seeing that the speedboat was wrecked, Bingfeng smiled. This meant that their pursuit would be much slower.
However, Bingfeng did not stop attacking. She struck again, manipulating the ice blocks into ice dragons, which rushed towards the group, intending to defeat them.
Sensing the danger, the group immediately launched a counterattack and engaged the ice dragon in battle.
The ice dragons, being not Bingfeng itself, lacked intelligence, making them somewhat sluggish in battle. The other group, however, were all formidable fighters, and their ferocity was overwhelming; soon enough, the ice dragons were shattered to pieces.
Bingfeng watched, feeling somewhat helpless, but also accepting of the situation.
"I'll do it," Wang Yan said.
The Bingfeng was too far away, and the ice dragon being controlled lacked agility, so it couldn't achieve the desired effect.
Her power is magma; even if she can't defeat those guys, she can at least leave them nowhere to stand and force them to sink into the sea. At that point, they'll have to rely on their own abilities to swim back, making it impossible for them to catch up with her.
Upon hearing this, Bingfeng nodded slightly without refuting.
Wang Yan activated her power, conjuring a pair of fiery red wings on her back. She flapped her wings and soared into the sky, heading straight for that area.
Upon reaching that area, Wang Yan released magma downwards without hesitation.
Countless molten lava particles fell from the sky like raindrops, covering the entire area.
The people on the ice noticed something was wrong and immediately began to dodge.
The lava was burning them, and if they let it continue to fall on them, they would likely suffer greatly.
However, when they decided to take cover, they suddenly discovered that the entire area was being Magma Rain, and there was nowhere to hide.
Under the influence of the Magma Rain, the ice is gradually melting. At this rate, it probably won't be long before the ice completely turns into water.
After glancing at each other, the group immediately made a decision and jumped into the water.
They had no choice, because they couldn't fly through the air like the man with the mustache.
"Hmph, you're quite decisive. If you don't leave, I'll burn you to death." Wang Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw how resolute the group was.
"However, it's impossible to escape back easily. Since we've come this far, we'll have to pay a price." Wang Yan said, then immediately jumped down and landed on the ice.
"World of Flame," Wang Yan uttered softly.
A moment later, a burst of intense heat erupted from her body, instantly engulfing the surrounding area.
The intense heat instantly melted the ice. Moreover, the heat penetrated deep into the ocean, causing the fish in the area to flee in terror, afraid to linger and be roasted alive.
In the sea, those people were swimming in one direction.
Suddenly, they felt a surge of heat. At first, they didn't pay much attention. But as the temperature rose, they realized what was happening.
Left with no other choice, they had to summon their Haki to insulate themselves from the intense heat.
However, it will be difficult for them to maintain this state indefinitely. After all, the amount of Haki is limited, and once Haki is exhausted, they will be finished.
They quickened their pace and headed away into the distance, hoping to leave quickly before their Haki completely dissipated.
Wang Yan did not pursue them. Those people were not simple, and she wasn't very confident that she could capture them completely.
Their goal was to force them to leave, because they didn't want to be bothered anymore.
Seeing the group of people walk away, Wang Yan did not hesitate. He flapped his wings and headed straight for the ship.
"Let's go, don't worry about them, they're gone," Wang Yan said.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and said no more.
The Little Fox glanced at the somewhat disheveled man with the mustache in mid-air, then turned away indifferently.
Although it failed to catch its opponent, it made the opponent understand its methods.
Therefore, it believed that the guy wouldn't stubbornly stick around with them anymore.
The man with the mustache glanced at them and indeed dared not pursue them. He was no match for so many people on his own.
Furthermore, there is another being on the Fanxin ship capable of ranged attacks. No one else needs to intervene; this one alone can inflict significant losses on him.
So, without saying a word, he left immediately.
"Speed up, the Big Mom won't give up easily. We'll be facing even more opponents soon," Bingfeng said.
They've already been attacked several times while they're still on the outskirts; if they get inside, they'll likely face even more attacks.
"Understood." The Little Black Cat nodded slightly upon hearing this. Then, without saying anything more, it increased the ship's speed to its maximum, and the ship suddenly soared into the sky.
"Failed again. This time, Mom will definitely be furious. You must stop them as soon as possible, do you hear me?" On a deserted island, a tall man wearing sunglasses coldly looked at the group of people behind him. This group of people were all his subordinates.
He had just received a call from his companion and learned the whole story. Originally, he wasn't planning to attack, but Fanxin's ships had already entered the area under his jurisdiction.
Therefore, he had no choice but to take action; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his mother.
So he immediately gathered his men and prepared to attack.
"Understood, boss." The group nodded and shouted.
"Very well, in that case, let's begin," said the man in sunglasses.
Upon hearing this, everyone boarded the ship without hesitation and headed straight for the Fanxin Pirates.
The man in sunglasses stroked the longsword in his hand, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Hmph, daring to come here is simply courting death. I don't care how arrogant you are, here, even if you're a dragon, you'll have to coil up before me."
He disliked uninvited guests, so Fanxin and the others' actions made him very uncomfortable.
He made up his mind to ensure that Fanxin and the others would never return and would regret it for the rest of their lives.
He then fell silent, sat down on his beloved little boat, and slowly followed the group.
He rowed his boat, sipping fragrant tea with a relaxed expression, completely unaware that a great battle was about to unfold.
"They're here again. There are so many people this time," the Little Black Cat said.
"Hmph, no matter how many they come, we'll handle them," Wang Yan said coldly. These guys are too persistent; one group leaves, and another comes. Do they really think they're easy to bully?
"So what should we do now?" the Little Black Cat asked.
"What else can we do but fight? Let's get everyone moving. They've suffered a few losses before, so they'll definitely be prepared this time. We can't catch them off guard," Wang Yan said after a moment's thought.
They made several attempts, but their abilities were still exposed. Those guys will definitely devise a plan to counter their abilities.
Therefore, their advantages are becoming less and less obvious. They are likely to face a tough battle ahead.
"Okay, I understand." The Little Black Cat nodded slightly and said.
Then, it picked up the microphone and relayed the message to everyone on board, as well as to every robot.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone sprang into action.
Even Qiangwei, who rarely takes action, donned her armor and prepared for battle.
"You stay on the ship. If those guys attack, you'll be in charge of dealing with them," Wang Yan said, looking at Qiangwei.
Upon hearing this, Qiangwei nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
She was dressed in a black outfit that perfectly accentuated her beautiful figure, with her curves making her incredibly alluring.
She exudes a unique charm that makes it impossible to look away once you've seen her.
"You all go and fight. Little Black and I will stay here and oversee things," Qiangwei said calmly.
With her here, even if those guys attack, they won't be able to destroy the ship. The entire ship is under her control; once they board, they'll be trapped. She can easily deal with them.
"With you here, I feel at ease. Just in case, the Little Fox will stay by your side," Wang Yan nodded and said.
The Big Mom only had a few capable people under her command, and she was worried that Qiangwei wouldn't be able to handle them. However, with the Little Fox's help, everything would be fine.
