The Great Battle (1)

"Heh, we had other important matters to attend to before and didn't have time for you. But now that we've finished our business, so..." A man in a black suit slowly stepped forward, staring at the Red Hair, and said, "We're ready to deal with you."

The man was 1.89 meters tall, with a robust physique. He wore sunglasses and stood there straight, like a javelin.

He looked at the Red Hair without a trace of fear on his face; on the contrary, a frenzied fighting spirit was rising in his eyes.

"Heh, you want to get rid of me? Do you know the consequences?" Red Hair, somewhat surprised.

A bunch of cowards dared to challenge his authority, which greatly displeased him.

"Consequences? Heh, that's not something I need to think about. Let's fight first and worry about the consequences later," the man in the suit said nonchalantly.

"He really is a madman, but I'm not afraid of madmen at all," the Red Hair said calmly.

Although his expression was calm, the coldness in his eyes intensified. He walked forward step by step, and an invisible force emanated from his body, instantly enveloping the dozen or so ships under his control.

"Die!" the Red Hair uttered softly, and that power instantly exploded in everyone's minds and bodies.

The impact was tremendous; the ships were shaken. Many people couldn't withstand it and collapsed, losing consciousness.

He wiped out nearly a third of the people with a single move, demonstrating just how powerful Red Hair attack was.

Of course, nearly two-thirds of the people still managed to withstand it. These were the best members of the team, each one of them worthy of being called a hero. Otherwise, they would not have been able to withstand the attack of Red Hair's Conqueror's Haki.

"Conqueror's Haki, huh? It's getting more and more Haki." The man in the suit ignored his unconscious subordinates. He could have as many as he wanted. Even if Red Hair killed them all, he wouldn't feel a shred of regret, let alone if they were knocked unconscious.

"Liu Tian, you've come here, I'll make sure you don't leave alive." The Red Hair stared at the man in the suit, his fighting spirit soaring to its peak in an instant.

He gripped a rapier, ready to unleash his power at any moment.

"Heh, Red Hair, I admit, you are indeed very strong, and normally I wouldn't dare to come looking for trouble with you." The man in the suit was all smiles at first, but the next moment, his expression turned icy cold. "However, this time, not only me, but I've also invited a friend. With his help, I'm not afraid of you."

"A friend?" The Red Hair was taken aback, clearly unaware of who the other party was inviting.

"Not bad, with him holding you back, I alone can wipe out all your men." The man in the suit chuckled confidently.

"Hmph, I'm afraid that guy won't be able to stop me." The Red Hair snorted coldly, completely disregarding the friend Liu Tian was referring to.

He was able to establish himself here not by relying on others, but by relying on his own strength. He believed that he could handle these invaders.

"Oh, really? In that case, I'll invite him out and see if he really has the ability." The man in the suit Liu Tian, chuckled and snapped his fingers casually.

With a creak, the door not far away was pushed open, and a man wearing a fur cloak walked out.

He had long, flowing hair and a full beard, which made him look somewhat sleazy, but his eyes were extremely sharp, like arrows drawn from their sheaths, making people afraid to look directly at him.

He walked slowly towards them, an invisible pressure emanating from his body. Those around him quickly retreated, not daring to get too close.

Upon reaching Liu Tian's side, he said somewhat displeased, "It hasn't even started yet, why were you called out like this?"

"There's no other way, Red Hair his move. I need your help, otherwise this operation will fail," Liu Tian said with a wry smile. Clearly, he was also feeling immense pressure facing such a formidable enemy Red Hair.

"Alright! In that case, I'll stop Red Hair. I'll leave the rest to the lecherous man."

"No problem." Liu Tian nodded.

The lewd-looking man tilted his head, looked at the Red Hair on the shore, grinned, and revealed a set of clean, even teeth.

"Who are you?" The Red Hair frowned, staring intently at the other person with a very serious expression.

He sensed danger from the other person; clearly, this seemingly sleazy fellow was no ordinary character.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any information about this man in his memory.

"I'm a lone wolf, I rarely show my face. My real name is Kuanglong. Remember that, lest you die at someone's hands without even knowing it," the lewd man chuckled.

"Hmph, no matter who you are, anyone who tries to attack me will pay the price," the Red Hair sneered.

"Perhaps, but we've come together today, and our overall strength far surpasses yours. Your situation is very dangerous," the lewd man said calmly. "I guarantee that even if you don't die, you'll be severely injured."

"As one of the Four Emperors, if you are injured, the others will likely seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At that time... hehe..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear: if Red Hair were injured, his position as one of the Four Emperors might be taken away by someone else.

"You won't succeed," the Red Hair said calmly.

"Why are you so sure?" the lewd man asked curiously.

"Because I'm here." Before the Red Hair could reply, Fanxin, who was not far away, chimed in.

As he spoke, he slowly walked over. He held a chicken leg in his left hand and a glass of red wine in his right, eating casually, completely unconcerned about the enemies around him.

Soon, he stood next to the Red Hair.

The Red Hair paused slightly, then smiled and said, "You'd better not interfere. This is our..."

"Brother Red Hair, that's not right. If they want to attack you, they will inevitably attack this island. We're on your island, do you think we can stay out of it?" Fanxin Xin retorted.

"This..." Upon hearing this, the Red Hair gave a wry smile and said, "You're right. It seems I've dragged you into this."

"Don't say that. It's just old friends meeting up. How could I not come and visit?"

Fanxin said, "It's these clueless guys who know we're having a gathering but still insist on coming and spoiling the fun. It's really annoying. So, this time, no matter how you try to persuade me, I'm going to join the fight, and my men will join too. What do you all think?"

"Yes," the entire Fanxin Pirates responded in unison. They followed behind Fanxin, forming an unbreakable shield to support Fanxin.

"This..." Red Hair was stunned, unsure of what to say.

"Alright, stop worrying about it. You've seen it yourself, these two guys are no pushovers. It'll be difficult for you to handle both by yourself."

Fanxin Xin waved his hand and said, "Even if you manage to handle it, you will inevitably pay a heavy price in the end. At that time, the brothers on your ship may suffer heavy losses."

"If I join the war, your losses will be minimized. Think about it, isn't that right?"

Red Hair glanced around and nodded silently. He had to admit that Fanxin's participation in the battle would greatly reduce the pressure on him.

"Since that's the case, then don't refuse. If you feel bad, you can help me out when I need it in the future." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "I won't refuse, okay?"

Red Hair wasn't one to mince words, and since things had come to this point, he didn't refuse any longer. He nodded and said, "Alright, if you ever need anything in the future, just give me a call, and I'll definitely come to help."

"Alright, it's a deal." Fanxin nodded, then glanced at the other two and said, "You choose your opponent! The rest are for me."

The two men were making comments and criticisms, completely disregarding Liu Tian and Kuanglong. This infuriated Liu Tian.

His eyes flashed with a cold light as he said icily, "Boy, are you sure you want to interfere in my business with Red Hair? Do you know the consequences?"

"Consequences? I don't care, let's fight first." Fanxin returned the other party's words verbatim.

"Fine, very well, kid, you asked for this." Liu Tian's expression grew even colder. Fanxin's interference had completely disrupted his plans. This time, he might not be able to kill the Red Hair.

All of this was caused by Fanxin, the instigator. Naturally, he held a grudge against Fanxin.

However, Fan Fanxin smiled slightly at Liu Tian's resentment, not taking it to heart. He had offended far too many people—the Navy, the Four Emperors, the mafia—he had mortal enemies in every single force.

He didn't care about having another enemy.

He was about to pass through an area ruled by these guys, and given their nature, they certainly wouldn't let him pass easily.

Since that's the case, if he takes action now and cripples a top gangster, he'll have one less enemy to contend with.

He was naturally happy to see it happen.

"Very well, kid, you've never fought us before, you don't know how terrifying we are." Liu Tian said viciously, "You also want to become the Pirate King, right? Heh, you'll all have to pass through my area. When that happens, I'll give you a good beating."

"Thank you, but I'm afraid you might not make it in time," Fanxin said with a light laugh.

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Tian raised an eyebrow and shouted sharply.

"It means you're about to be finished. When I passed through the area you ruled, you couldn't stop me anymore," Fanxin replied.

"Heh, what utterly arrogant words," Liu Tian laughed angrily.

"Alright, Red Hair, enough talk. We still need to celebrate. Let's take care of them first!" Fanxin pondered for a moment and said, "I'll handle that foul-mouthed guy, and you can have that sleazy guy. Is that alright?"

"Whatever," the Red Hair said casually.

"In that case," Fanxin stuffed the last bit of chicken leg into her mouth, finished the remaining red wine in her glass, and then headed straight for the man in the suit.

"Then let's start the war!" Fanxin Xin chuckled, then transformed into a cannonball and shot towards the ship where Liu Tian was.

Soon, he arrived beside Liu Tian. He summoned his Haki, concentrated it in his fists, and slammed them down hard on Liu Tian.

Liu Tian snorted coldly and kicked out, blocking Fanxin's fist.

"Kid, you think you can defeat me? That's impossible." Liu Tian sneered, then kicked Fanxin, sending him flying.

"Don't be so absolute. I'm not someone you can easily deal with." Fanxin kicked off the air, and once again shot towards Liu Tian.

"Die!" Fanxin threw a punch.

Liu Tian also used his fist to meet Fanxin's punch head-on.

Thud...

A massive shockwave erupted from between their fists, sweeping outwards in all directions.

Those who were close by were all thrown back a great distance, and those who were slightly weaker had already suffered internal injuries.

They retreated quickly, not daring to get close; this level of battle was not one they could get involved in.

The lewd-looking man glanced at him and walked away. He didn't interfere in the battle between Fanxin and Liu Tian because there was a venomous snake not far away, watching him. If he made a move, the snake would definitely follow suit.

He would lose more than he gained, so naturally he wouldn't act recklessly.

He then went towards the Red Hair -Red Hair and began fighting him.

The others also joined the battle, and a conflict was imminent, plunging the island into complete chaos.

Gunfire, shouts of battle, and screams mingled together, making it impossible for the place to remain peaceful.

Fanxin launched a series of attacks, clashing head-on with Liu Tian without retreating in the slightest. Liu Tian did the same.

They were both enveloped in Haki, clashing with absolute power, neither giving an inch.

A few minutes later, Liu Tian's face grew increasingly gloomy, and his expression became more and more solemn. He was a pirate who had been famous for many years and had ruled this place for a long time. There were few who were not afraid of him. Even the Four Emperors did not dare to underestimate them.

Fanxin was just a Supernovas, and he originally thought his opponent wasn't that strong, but so far in their fight, he hadn't managed to inflict any damage on him.

Therefore, this Supernovas is no ordinary player; his strength is in no way inferior to that of the veteran.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, the facts were undeniable, leaving him no choice but to accept them.

"Heh, indeed, heroes emerge from among the young." Liu Tian muttered to himself, a hint of helplessness in his expression.

"Of course, our class is very strong." Fanxin replied with a smile, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Liu Tian, a fierce fighting spirit flickering in his Black and White eyes.

Clearly, he had developed a strong interest in Liu Tian, who dared to confront him head-on, and wanted to have a final showdown with him.

Sensing the madness in Fanxin's eyes, Liu Tian raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit uneasy. He had come here only to defeat Red Hair and jeopardize Shanks' position as one of the Four Emperors.

He didn't necessarily need to kill Red Hair. As long as he destroyed Shanks' foundation and severely injured him, someone would naturally take care of him. After all, many people quite enjoyed kicking Red Hair. Moreover, this dog was no ordinary person; it was one of the Four Emperors.

They would go crazy because of that.

However, the arrival of Fanxin caused a crack in his flawless plan.

He had initially thought he could mend the rift by severing his Fanxin. However, he now understood that not only could he not mend it, but he would also cause the rift to widen until it became uncontrollable.
