An Easy Resolution (3)
"Indeed, it is very strange. I couldn't figure it out either," Fanxin said, undeniably.
The appearance of that feather just now was so strange, as if it came through layers of space, catching everyone off guard.
Even he, faced with this, could probably only protect himself.
"Then we'll probably have to behave ourselves here," the Little Black Cat said.
"Hehe, we came here to explore, not to rob like them. So, you don't need to worry about anything," Fanxin said calmly.
He wasn't particularly afraid; he hadn't provoked them. If they really wanted to make a move, he wouldn't hold back either.
He believed that even if they wanted to eliminate him silently, they would have to pay a price.
"That makes sense, but it looks like those guys are about to leave. What should we do?" the Little Black Cat asked.
Those guys came here to rob people, and now that they've suffered a huge loss, they certainly won't dare stay.
If they leave now, then we'll have to make our move now.
"Go to the Western Xia Mausoleum immediately and have the robots destroy the ships," Fanxin said upon hearing this.
Once the ship is destroyed, these guys will be stuck here. We can deal with them after they've finished exploring.
"Hehe, Boss, you're brilliant." The Little Black Cat chuckled upon hearing this and immediately gave orders to the robots hidden beneath their ship.
At the command, the robots immediately breached the bottom of the ship, allowing seawater to continuously flood into the vessel.
The seawater entered rapidly, and soon many rooms were submerged. Because of the flooding, the ship began to slowly sink, and it seemed unlikely that it would be completely destroyed soon.
"Boss, I've got it all sorted out," the Little Black Cat said.
"Alright, in that case, let's go have some fun." Fanxin nodded slightly, no longer concerned about the matter, and immediately headed off into the distance.
The Little Fox and the Little Black Cat immediately followed.
The group of men were bewildered and confused, wondering what had just happened.
However, they dared not cause any more trouble, because they knew they might have run into a brick wall this time.
If he remains stubborn, he might really lose his life here.
Therefore, they exchanged a glance, immediately turned around, and headed towards the sea, preparing to leave.
They weren't there to buy anything; they were there to rob. Of course, if the ship ran low on food, they would also steal some.
However, they were attacked during their robbery, and the attack was so bizarre that they hadn't figured out why. If they acted rashly before understanding the situation, they risked suffering a great loss.
So they decided to retreat.
As for stealing, that's something I wouldn't even dare to think about.
They continued their journey until they reached a place a few miles from the sea.
"Boss, what do we do? Are we just going to slink away like this?" a bald man asked.
He was very unwilling to accept this. He had just seen a lot of wealth and thought it was within his grasp, but he never expected to suffer such a terrible fate.
He was itching to get it back; if they had the chance, they would definitely go back and retrieve it.
"What else can I do? That thing is too bizarre. It pierced my hand." The bearded man looked at his hand. The wound had been treated, but it was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, which was very inconvenient.
Although he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do, because he didn't know where those feathers came from, and he couldn't defend against them even if he wanted to.
If he went there again, this time the needle wouldn't be stuck in his hand, but in his head. Then he would be dead.
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh. They knew that they would not be able to obtain that fortune this time.
"Don't be discouraged. If we can't do it, we'll call the admiral over next time. Heh heh, then they'll be in big trouble." The bearded man said cruelly.
"Admiral" is Blackbeard's title. He doesn't like being called "Blackbeard Captain"; he only likes to be called "Admiral."
He believed that with Admiral Blackbeard here, this place was doomed. After all, the Admiral was incredibly powerful; who could possibly defeat him?
"That makes sense. Since it won't work, let's go back and tell the admiral now," the bald man said.
The others chimed in.
"Let's go." The bearded man snorted and immediately led the way, heading towards the sea.
When they reached the seaside, they were about to board the boat. However, a moment later, they realized something was wrong.
Because they saw that the ship appeared to have sunk considerably.
"Go check what's wrong on the boat!" the bearded man shouted.
The bald man nodded and immediately led several people onto the boat to check on the situation.
Once on the boat, he looked ahead and was completely stunned.
Because the boat was completely filled with water, several of their companions were knocked unconscious and left in the water.
This ship is now unusable; if it sets sail, it could sink into the sea at any moment.
"Boss, the boat is taking on water," the bald man said, turning around.
"What happened? Our boat is perfectly fine, why is it taking on water?" The bearded man was stunned.
When he went ashore, he checked the boat thoroughly and found it intact. When he disembarked, he made sure to leave a few people behind to watch the boat, just in case something happened.
However, his worst fears have come true, leaving him quite frustrated.
"I don't know either, but I'm sure someone is messing with us," the bald man said.
"Damn it, who is it? Show yourself if you dare!" The bearded man roared angrily, his voice echoing throughout the entire island.
However, no one responded to him, because Fanxin and the others would not come forward to admit it. It wasn't that they were afraid; they weren't afraid of these guys at all.
They just didn't want to come over and argue, because they were going to take a risk.
The bearded man roared a few times, but still no one responded, so he sat down in frustration.
"Boss, what's our situation now?" the bald man asked as he approached.
"What else can we do? Repair the boat immediately. If we can't repair it, then we'll steal one," the bearded man said.
They can't stay here forever. They're only here to rob some money and then take a break.
They need to report back, and if they stay in this situation too long, their superiors might get upset.
"Okay, I understand." The bald man nodded upon hearing this.
He then immediately led everyone to use ropes to haul the boat ashore.
After the water was drained from the boat, they began searching for planks and started repairing it.
Unbeknownst to them, the robots in the sea were watching their every move.
They've been hiding there, waiting to launch a surprise attack as soon as this group dares to go into the water.
Therefore, these guys are destined for tragedy. Even if they manage to repair the ship, they won't be able to leave this place.
"Boss, those guys are repairing the ship, hehe, but it's all in vain for them," the Little Black Cat said with a laugh.
It won't let these guys get away successfully, because it's going to deal with them itself.
"Hehe, under your pressure, they'll definitely be driven crazy," Fanxin said with a smile.
What he said was absolutely true. Even a normal person would be driven crazy by what the Little Black Cat did.
"That's beyond my control. They chose the wrong master," the Little Black Cat chuckled and said.
Upon hearing this, Fanxin didn't say anything more.
Because he also disliked those guys a lot, and since he'd run into them, he naturally couldn't hold back. Otherwise, those guys would become a huge problem for them in the future.
"Alright, let's go," Fanxin said.
The Little Black Cat and the Little Fox nodded, said nothing more, and immediately followed.
Soon, Fanxin and the other two arrived at the back of the Peng Bird. Here they were in a dense forest, with lush green trees that were very beautiful.
They could also hear the roars of wild beasts from time to time, indicating that animals lived inside.
"Boss, what are you mainly looking for here?" the Little Black Cat asked curiously.
It glanced around and saw that apart from the area above the bird's head where humans lived, there was nowhere else to be found. The area was all forest and wilderness; there was really nothing to look for.
"Hehe, I'm looking for traces of the Peng Bird," Fanxin said with a smile.
"Ah, you actually believe that legend?" Upon hearing this, the Little Fox paused for a moment before saying.
"That's right. There's no smoke without fire. Since there's such a legend, it means there must be a secret here. Anyway, we won't be leaving for a while, so let's go and look for it. Just don't be too fixated on it," Fanxin said with a smile.
He wasn't necessarily looking for the Peng Bird; he was just curious. If he couldn't find it, he wouldn't dwell on it. If he did find it, he would simply smile calmly.
"Alright, since we're free anyway, we'll keep you company." The Little Black Cat nodded and said.
"Okay, now release the robots and let them look around," Fanxin said.
He didn't want to run around aimlessly; that would be too time-consuming and exhausting. But with the robot, many places could be eliminated.
At that point, they will only need to focus on a few key locations, and that will be enough.
"Okay." The Little Black Cat nodded and immediately released dozens of robots.
Soon, at the Little Black Cat's request, they scattered and began their search.
Meanwhile, Fanxin, the Little Black Cat, and the Little Fox sat there eating dry rations and drinking wine.
For the next few days, they stayed there and didn't go anywhere else.
The robot sent back a lot of useful information, which the Little Black Cat recorded all of, planning to search for it again later.
Even so, the robot still has many areas to explore; clearly, the entire area is vast.
"Boss, when are we leaving?" the Little Black Cat asked.
It's been here for a few days and is getting a little bored, so it's going to go wander around.
"Let's wait a little longer!" Fanxin said.
"Why?" the Little Black Cat asked, puzzled.
"Because an uninvited guest is coming," Fanxin said.
"An uninvited guest? Who is it?" the Little Black Cat asked curiously.
"Shiryu of the Rain, one of Blackbeard's subordinates," Fanxin said.
"Oh." Upon hearing this, the Little Black Cat immediately dispatched robots to search the surrounding sea area. Sure enough, they discovered a pirate ship that was gradually approaching. The leader of the ship was none other than Shiryu of the Rain.
"Boss, how did you figure it out?" the Little Black Cat asked.
"Hehe, I released the Diamond Beast to search for food in this area. Some of Diamond Beast ran off to a distance and saw that ship, preparing to eat it, but were attacked. So they ran back. And since I'm connected to the Diamond Beast, I naturally know what happened," Fanxin said with a smile.
"They're here. Things aren't going to be peaceful here," the Little Black Cat said.
It knew that Shiryu of the Rain had definitely come to cause trouble, after all, their people had suffered losses here.
"Yes, so we can't set off to find the Peng Bird for now. Let's take a look first, otherwise we might get caught in the crossfire," Fanxin said. "Contact everyone right now and tell them to take good care of themselves and not get caught up in the chaos."
Shiryu of the Rain very powerful, and once he unleashes his power, the impact will be significant. If everyone gets too close together, they might actually be affected.
"Understood." The Little Black Cat nodded, then immediately contacted everyone.
After the message was relayed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Several hours later, Shiryu of the Rain's ship arrived here.
Upon seeing his superior approach, the bearded man immediately scurried over to report.
Shiryu of the Rain naturally gave him a cold shoulder; he couldn't even handle such a small matter, it was truly embarrassing.
However, the other party was, after all, one of their own. If they suffered a loss, it would be a slap in his face, so how could he remain indifferent?
He came not only to take the crew back, but also to get revenge here. So, without hesitation, he headed straight for the top of the Peng Bird's head.
Everyone followed behind. With Shiryu of the Rain by their side, they became bolder and immediately stood tall and proud.
"Boss, shall we go over there?" the Little Black Cat asked.
"Let's just watch from here, we can see," Fanxin said.
He possesses Haki; by simply releasing Haki, he can clearly see the situation over there, eliminating the need for him to make a special trip.
Upon hearing this, the Little Black Cat nodded slightly without saying anything more. With a wave of its hand, it immediately dispatched a robot to keep watch over there. Then, it quickly created a screen and projected everything the robot was seeing onto it. In this way, everyone could see everything clearly without having to go over there.
"Shiryu of the Rain is really domineering. He went over and launched an attack without saying a word," the Little Black Cat said.
"They are all extremely ruthless beings. They don't care about reason. Anyone who dares to offend them will be ruthlessly destroyed by them," Fanxin said, shaking his head.
When Shiryu of the Rain in the Impel Down, she was already a ruthless and bloodthirsty person. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have been imprisoned by Magellan.
Once outside, with no one to restrain him, he naturally became even more unrestrained.
