Darkness Domain (2)

Blackbeard looked at Fanxin, who was so close to him, and wished he could slap him to death. This guy had repeatedly forced him into dangerous situations, and he had reached his limit.

However, he is currently unable to launch an attack, as he has focused all his energy on the Darkness Domain.

In order to maintain this Darkness Domain, he cannot use any other abilities; otherwise, the Darkness Domain would inevitably collapse.

He glared at Fanxin through gritted teeth and said fiercely, "Boy, between you and me, only one of us will survive."

"It's me, not you," Fanxin said with a faint smile.

"How do you know it wasn't me?" Blackbeard glared at him.

"Heh, because I'm a person of great fortune, while you aren't," Fanxin said. "I've fought you twice, and although you possess two Devil Fruit abilities, you still haven't defeated me, have you? This shows that Devil Fruit doesn't necessarily mean greater strength."

"So, it's impossible for you to kill me. However, I can kill you."

"Hmph, what makes you say that?" Blackbeard disagreed. Although he hadn't won over Fanxin hadn't won over him either.

At best, he and Fanxin were evenly matched. But Fanxin said he was no good, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Because you are Devil Fruit User, and because the New World is the ocean, you will become a landlubber if you fall into the sea. This is your fatal weakness. As long as I find the right opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, you will be doomed," Fanxin said with a smile.

He has always refused to eat Devil Fruit because he doesn't want to have a weakness, which would put him at a disadvantage if someone were to exploit it.

To this day, he has not eaten Devil Fruit. Therefore, he is fearless against any opponent, whether on land or at sea.

He will not hesitate to launch a counterattack if his opponent comes to attack him.

However, Blackbeard was helpless; he had no options in the sea and could only wait to die.

"I won't let you succeed," Blackbeard said coldly.

This was indeed his fatal weakness, but even knowing it, he wouldn't give up, because it gave him the greatest power. This was essential for him to dominate this sea.

"Don't be too absolute," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Hmph, this time, I may not be able to do anything to you, but when the Summit War arrives, I will let you all know how powerful I am," Blackbeard said confidently.

He was indeed confident because he had not yet fully refined the abilities of the two Devil Fruits, and his strength had not yet reached its peak.

He believed that as long as he continued to study and comprehend, he would surely be able to make his abilities stronger.

At that time, he didn't care about Fanxin at all.

"Oh, but don't forget, while you're getting stronger, others are getting stronger too. Trying to devour everyone by yourself is a bit too ambitious," Fanxin said dismissively. "At least, it's unlikely you'll be able to devour me."

If Blackbeard had been able to devour him, he would already be a cold corpse.

Because Blackbeard couldn't do it, he's still full of energy and running around everywhere. Blackbeard can only watch and resent him, but he's powerless to do anything about it.

Even now, with him so close, Blackbeard can only watch.

"Hmph, get lost," Blackbeard snorted, then suddenly said.

"Oh, you don't want our lives anymore?" Fanxin asked, somewhat surprised.

Blackbeard went to such lengths to kill him, yet now he's letting him go, leaving Blackbeard speechless.

"Are you leaving or not?" Blackbeard asked impatiently.

"Hehe, you can't take it anymore, can you?" Fanxin teased.

Blackbeard was so angry his nose almost twisted; this guy really knows how to rub salt in the wound!

"Kid, if you don't leave, I will definitely launch an attack," Blackbeard said coldly.

To maintain his Darkness Domain, he couldn't muster the power to attack Fanxin and his two subordinates who were right next to him. However, once he withdrew from his Dark Body, his power would return to his body. At that time, he could unleash the power of the Devil Fruit.

Fanxin and his two companions, being so close to him, were bound to be the first to be affected.

"Alright, alright, alright, I'm leaving." Fanxin Xin chuckled, unwilling to break ties with Blackbeard.

He might be able to seriously injure Blackbeard now, but he himself will have to pay the price.

He didn't want it to be like this; after all, he came here only to travel and reach his destination. As long as no one stood in his way, he wouldn't launch an attack.

Now that Blackbeard has backed down, he naturally doesn't want to provoke a full-blown war.

"Goodbye." Fanxin Xin grinned and took the lead, flying out of the Darkness Domain.

Bingfeng and Wang Yan followed closely behind.

Blackbeard did not stop them from leaving, because he was now powerless to do so.

He might be able to use this opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the three of them. However, his Fanxin would undoubtedly launch a furious attack on him afterwards.

Once Fanxin run wild, he might not be able to suppress that madman.

Therefore, he did not stop them. When Fanxin and his two subordinates crossed the Darkness Domain, he deliberately created a large hole and let them fly out.

Once Fanxin had gone far away, Blackbeard then dispelled the Darkness Domain.

As soon as he returned to the Darkness Domain, Blackbeard couldn't help but sit down heavily on the ground. He was panting heavily and it took him a long time to calm down.

"Captain, are we just going to let them go like this?" A bald man approached and asked, somewhat unwillingly.

"I didn't want to either," Blackbeard said, slapping him across the face. "But you guys are so useless! What could I do?"

He was extremely frustrated. He had conjured Darkness Domain to protect his subordinates from any effects, hoping it would be somewhat effective. However, in the end, these guys completely disappointed him.

Because they were useless, he had no choice but to compromise and let Fanxin and the others leave.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let this troublemaker get away.

The bald man covered his face, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth; clearly, Blackbeard had hit him hard. He looked aggrieved but dared not speak out, for he understood the difference in skill between himself and the captain.

If he acts recklessly, this ruthless captain will surely get rid of him, and he doesn't want to die.

"Alright, enough talk, get the boat here right now, we're going back," Blackbeard said impatiently.

He had come with great momentum, thinking he could take care Fanxin that annoying Fan Xin. But the ending was so frustrating that he almost vomited blood.

Now, he doesn't want to think about anything else; he just wants to go back and recuperate so he can comprehend the Devil Fruit's power.

Only when his abilities become stronger will he be able to completely eliminate his Fanxin.

Without saying a word, the crew immediately steered the ship over.

Blackbeard said no more and immediately boarded the ship.

The crew members lowered their heads, boarded the ship one by one, and headed towards their hideout.

On a deserted island ten miles away from where Blackbeard was, Fanxin, Bingfeng, and Wang Yan landed.

Fanxin stared at Blackbeard's ship, his expression shifting, lost in thought.

"If we work together, we should be able to take him down, right? Why are we leaving?" Bingfeng asked without answering.

Blackbeard's Darkness Domain is powerful, but his subordinates are useless and pose no threat to them at all.

They only need to wear him down until they exhaust his strength. Once Blackbeard is completely drained, he will have no choice but to accept Blackbeard Blackbeard and Blackbeard whatever they want with him.

However, Fanxin actually left, failing to carry out the plan. She was puzzled; what was Fanxin worried about?

"That's right, if we stay, we can take care of Blackbeard. However..." Fanxin seemed hesitant to speak.

"But what?" Wang Yan asked curiously.

Bingfeng looked at him, wanting to know the specific answer.

"Sigh, if we really did that, I might survive, but you two would probably die," Fanxin Xin said with a solemn expression.

"What? That can't be!" Bingfeng exclaimed in disbelief.

Her power is ice; she can freeze an entire area and move freely within blocks of ice.

Killing her will not be easy for Blackbeard.

"Are you sure that's true?" Wang Yan also asked with skepticism.

"That's right, don't disbelieve me. I sensed danger within Blackbeard; he hasn't fully unleashed his dark power yet. However, if pushed to the limit, that guy will definitely fight desperately," Fanxin said. "At that time, even if the two of you manage to escape as far as possible, you'll probably be completely devoured."

Upon hearing this, Bingfeng and Wang Yan both looked rather unpleasant, clearly frightened by Fanxin's words.

"Don't underestimate any opponent. Blackbeard's ability to consume two Devil Fruit speaks volumes about his abilities," Fanxin said. "However, don't worry too much. His opponent is me. As long as I'm alive, he can't harm you. So, rest assured."

"That's true." Bingfeng nodded slightly and said no more.

"Alright, enough thinking about it. Let's find out everyone's location right away," Fanxin said.

Wang Yan immediately took out the Vivre Card and placed it in his palm, watching the direction it moved.

"Over there," Wang Yan observed for a moment, pointed in a direction, and said.

"Let's go!" Fanxin shouted.

After saying that, he immediately put on his Flight Armor. Bingfeng and Wang Yan did the same. The three of them quickly flew away into the distance.

Half an hour later, they hovered in the air, waiting patiently.

A few minutes later, the calm sea suddenly became turbulent, and the seawater flowed in all directions, as if a giant monster was about to break out of the water.

As the three waited expectantly, a giant ship emerged from the sea and floated on the surface.

The safety shield opened, and Qiangwei and her group came to the bow of the ship.

Fanxin and the other two chuckled and immediately landed at the bow of the ship.

"How is it?" The Little Black Cat leaped over and asked curiously.

"Neither won nor lost," Fanxin simply described.

"This is boring. It would be fun if Blackbeard died," the Little Black Cat muttered.

Fanxin heard this, but simply shook his head and said nothing more.

The Little Black Cat's idea was good, but putting it into practice wouldn't be easy.

Despite possessing only one Devil Fruit, being old, and suffering from old injuries, Whitebeard still managed to tear apart the seemingly impregnable Marine Headquarters, Mary Geoise.

Blackbeard is in his prime and possesses two terrifying Devil Fruit; killing him would come at a much higher price.

The Navy has not launched an attack on Blackbeard because they know the cost would be too high and the losses would outweigh the gains.

It would be difficult for him to kill Blackbeard alone. Even if he succeeded, he would be seriously injured.

Therefore, unless he is certain of victory, he will only engage in combat with his opponent, and will not use lethal force.

Of course, if he's lucky, he'll seize the opportunity.

"Alright, enough talk, everyone get back to your positions. Let's continue towards our final destination," Fanxin said, then returned to her room to cultivate.

Bingfeng and Wang Yan immediately got everyone to work.

The pirate ship continued on its predetermined course.

Soon after, they left Blackbeard's territory, but Blackbeard did not send any pursuers to kill them, presumably understanding that such a pursuit would be futile.

Blackbeard didn't even spare Fanxin; any other guy who comes here will only be throwing his life away.

Because Blackbeard didn't stop them, they had no trouble getting through.

Having left Blackbeard's territory, they entered Red Hair's domain.

Upon hearing the Little Black Cat's introduction, Fanxin couldn't help but smile.

"This is going to be interesting," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Red Hair shouldn't stop us," Wang Yan laughed.

Fanxin and Red Hair have a close relationship. Although both are overlords, they would not fight over trivial matters.

Fanxin passes by, the Red Hair will not only refrain from attacking, but will also invite Fanxin to sit down for a while.

"Yes, but I'll be staying here for a while," Fanxin said.

"You don't mean to...?" Wang Yan was startled.

"That's great! I want to Red Hair. So much time has passed, I want to see just how much stronger Red Hair's become," Fanxin said excitedly.

"Alright, whatever you say." Bingfeng said helplessly. She knew that Fanxin hadn't won against Red Hair last time. He was still holding a grudge and probably wanted to get revenge this time.

"Yes, you can visit this place later," Fanxin said.

"In that case, let's go," Wang Yan said.

Under her command, the ships continued onward, heading straight for the territory ruled by the Red Hair.

They were discovered as soon as they entered. However, Fanxin did not ask them to hide. He had a close relationship with the Red Hair man, so there was no need for them to sneak around here.

The ships sailed smoothly without hindrance.

Clearly, the people here also knew about his relationship with Red Hair. Therefore, they faced no obstacles.

Three days later, Fanxin, who was drinking at the bow of the ship, suddenly saw a giant ship slowly approaching in the distance. It was Red Hair's pirate ship.

The Red Hair stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Fanxin.
