The First King (1)

The dim sky was occasionally illuminated by streaks of lightning, which brightened the surroundings and made the area a little brighter. However, this light did not last long before disappearing without a trace.

On the sea, towering waves formed walls of water, blocking passing ships.

If the steering skills weren't good, it would have been swept away and swallowed up by the wall of water long ago.

After several days and nights of travel, Fanxin's pirate ship finally entered the area, encountering many dangers along the way.

Fortunately, they had transferred the weaker crew members away early on; otherwise, many of them would probably have been thrown out and mercilessly swallowed by the sea.

Although they were unharmed, several robots were thrown off the ship. Fortunately, the robots were not afraid of the seawater and, under the control of the Little Black Cat, returned to the ship.

"This awful weather is the worst I've ever seen," the Little Black Cat said, wiping the sweat from its forehead with its tiny right paw.

The weather in the New World is unpredictable and ever-changing, something it has experienced many times, but this is the one it considers the most difficult to deal with.

The weather here is always so chaotic, as if someone is constantly stirring things up with a stick.

"Hehe, I think so too. This feeling is too dull," Fanxin Xin nodded in agreement.

"If someone attacks us now, things will get really troublesome." The Little Black Cat had a worried look on its face. Their minds were focused on dealing with the unpredictable weather, and they had no spare thoughts to deal with the sneak attackers.

"There's no other way. Even if it's difficult, we have to take action." Fanxin looked at the dim sky, his expression cold and ruthless.

"That's all we can do. Go and look around somewhere else. I'll look after things here," the Little Black Cat nodded and said.

Without further hesitation, Fanxin Xin immediately left the control room and went outside.

Outside, a heavy rain had begun, with countless raindrops falling and pattering against the deck.

Fortunately, the Little Black Cat had already activated the drainage system and drained the rainwater; otherwise, the boat could have been used to raise fish.

"What are you looking at?" Bingfeng came out as well. She didn't have an umbrella. The raindrops that fell down turned into ice blocks as soon as they got close to her and fell far away. She was completely dry.

"It's nothing, just a little uneasy," Fanxin said calmly.

"Do you think the gangs here would choose this time to make their move?" Bingfeng was incredibly clever and immediately guessed what Fanxin was worried about.

"Hmph, this place has always been like this, never changing. It's not surprising that we're launching an attack now," Fanxin said calmly, gazing at the dim distance.

"That's true. If it's really as you guessed, then we might already be being watched. Shouldn't we..." Bingfeng's expression turned solemn, Observation Haki emanated from her body, spreading in all directions under her control. She was preparing to investigate whether any gang members were approaching.

"There's no need to use your Haki to investigate. They're not that stupid to come from the sea," Fanxin said to Bingfeng with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Bingfeng immediately withdrew his Haki, his brows furrowed as he asked, "So what do you mean?"

"In this weather, not only are we at a disadvantage, but they're also suffering. A frontal attack would be very difficult for them," Fanxin pondered, then pointed to the ground and said, "However, if they attack from below, then there won't be a problem."

Upon hearing this, Bingfeng nodded silently and replied, "Yes, you're right. The surface of the sea is turbulent, but the seabed is quite calm. If they come in a submarine, they could indeed launch a surprise attack on us."

"I think that's why the gang has been able to maintain its foothold here. They control the seabed, making it difficult for outside forces to get through," Fanxin said coldly.

"Then what about us?" Bingfeng's expression was grave, worried that the ship might be attacked.

"Hehe, don't worry, we have you, don't we?" Fanxin said, "Go and call Wang Yan out. Have her launch an attack, release the lava, and make this sea boil completely."

"Are you trying to provoke them into coming out, right?" Bingfeng's beautiful eyes lit up, as if she understood Fanxin's actions.

"That's right. Once this sea boils, they'll die of heatstroke if they don't come out. So, in the end, they'll have no choice but to return to the surface." Fanxin took a sip of red wine and smiled, "Once they're on the surface, they'll lose all their advantage and be on the same level as us."

Upon hearing this, Bingfeng nodded silently.

Without hesitation, she immediately went to call Wang Yan.

Soon, the two sisters emerged together and arrived at the ship's side. Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Yan activated his power, releasing magma that fell into the sea.

As the lava fell, the seawater changed. The originally cool water slowly warmed up. Of course, this didn't stop there; the warmth gradually turned into scorching heat.

At this rate, it won't be long before the entire sea area boils over.

"Hehe, those guys probably won't be able to hold back anymore and will make their move ahead of time," Bingfeng laughed.

"Don't worry, even if they launch an attack, they won't be able to destroy our ships," Fanxin said calmly.

Bingfeng became curious and asked, "What makes you so sure? Do you have some method?"

"That's right, I had the Little Black Cat install Seastone around the hull. Seastone is the most durable material; they can't possibly destroy it." Fanxin smiled calmly. He had gone to great lengths for this ship, acquiring a considerable amount of Seastone, all of which he gave to the Little Black Cat. He even had to let the Diamond Beast forage for themselves.

With so much Seastone, he believed that those cannonballs could not possibly destroy his pirate ship.

"It's best to be careful." Bingfeng nodded, but didn't show a happy smile; clearly, he was still somewhat worried.

"Of course, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; I understand that principle." Fanxin Xin nodded and said, "Alright, I'll leave the matters on the ship to you. As for what happens off the ship, I'll handle that!"

"Are you going down?" Bingfeng guessed Fanxin's intention.

"Okay, don't worry, nothing will happen." Fanxin nodded, took off his shirt, revealing his muscular physique. Then, he leaped into the sea and disappeared.

Bingfeng said no more, maintaining close contact with the Little Black Cat and adjusting the battle plan as needed.

Once in the sea, Fanxin went directly to the bottom of the ship. He looked around and found a dark figure Following Like a Shadow behind his pirate ship.

He took a closer look and discovered that it was a small submarine.

Fanxin Xin grinned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He pushed off with both feet, transforming himself into a torpedo as he charged towards the dark figure.

Call out

He is incredibly fast; in the water, perhaps only the mermaids of Fish-Man Island can rival him.

A dozen seconds later, Fanxin arrived in front of the submarine. He stopped there, his eyes full of contempt.

He smiled, summoned his Haki, which coiled around his fists, and then rushed forward. Reaching the window, he threw a punch, slamming it directly into the glass. With a crack, the glass shattered, leaving a large hole.

Just then, countless drops of seawater surged wildly towards the opening, eventually reaching inside the submarine.

Inside the submarine, panic reigned as everyone donned their diving suits, preparing to escape.

The submarine was about to be submerged by seawater, and their battle plan could no longer be implemented.

"Heh, want to leave? You haven't even asked me yet." Fanxin Xin chuckled, her tone devoid of any warmth.

He rushed over, ripped the guys' wetsuits to shreds, and threw them aside.

Without their diving suits, they panicked instantly. They were thousands of meters underwater, and the immense water pressure would crush them.

Many that couldn't escape were ultimately crushed by the water pressure and didn't return to the surface alive.

Of course, there were a few more formidable opponents, those being Fish-Man whose speed was no less than his. Since he needed to deal with the others, he ultimately had to let them go.

After the submarine was destroyed, Fanxin Xin immediately began the pursuit, intending to take care of the Fish-Man as well.

Back on the surface, Fanxin was about to give chase, but suddenly discovered several corpses floating on the water— the Fish-Man.

"Heh, it seems I went to unnecessary trouble." Fanxin Xin glanced around and noticed that the people were covered in Ice Spike. These Ice Spike were unique to Bingfeng, so it was quite clear who had killed them.

Shaking his head, Fanxin not to linger any longer and returned to the seabed, following the ship on its journey.

With experts like Wang Yan and Bingfeng on board, and Fanxin guarding the ship below, it was very safe.

Just as the submarine was destroyed, on an island more than a hundred miles away from Fanxin's ship...

Although it was dark outside, the place was brightly lit, making even the night sky seem a little brighter.

The tallest building in the center of the island is the residence of the island's owner.

Anyone who can own such a large island here must be a big shot. Indeed, the owner of this island is one of the kings of the Riot Sea, and also the most senior king.

After he became the king here, the other gangs gradually moved into this area.

He wields considerable influence here, and many gangs obey his orders. It is because of him that these gangs are able to remain here and dare to act with impunity outside.

If anyone attacks this place, he will stand up and unite with the other gangs to fight back.

When he intervenes, the gang members will put aside their differences and temporarily deal with the outsider.

His charisma stems from the fact that he is the strongest among the nine kings.

In this sea, might makes right. The other eight kings have all fought against him, and all of them have failed.

Fortunately, he didn't go too far; otherwise, those kings would probably have had to be replaced.

The top floor.

Inside the bathroom.

The tall and muscular Messi is taking a shower, his naked body perfectly showcasing his robust physique.

Although he is fifty years old, he takes good care of himself and looks no different from someone in his thirties.

He had many scars on his body, all from battles, and several knife scars were located in his vital areas.

If those wounds had been any deeper, he probably wouldn't exist in the Riot Sea.

Beside him, several attractive young women were serving him. They were also naked, showing no shame, and looked directly at Messi as they wiped his body.

Messi had his eyes closed, looking completely absorbed in the moment.

In his excitement, he picked up one of the tall women and began kissing her passionately, creating a steamy scene.

An hour later, Messi, fully dressed, emerged from the bathroom.

A man in a suit quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Boss, one of our submarines has been sunk. Everyone on board perished at sea."

"Oh, have you found out who did it?" Messi asked calmly, his expression unchanging. As he spoke, he took a cigar handed to him by a maid and casually smoked it, making no further mention of the deceased members.

Here, battles happen every day, and people die every day; he's used to it.

To survive here, one must fight, one must become stronger. The weak are destined to be hunted, even if they are his subordinates.

"It's been investigated. Apparently, it was the Fanxin Pirates," the man in the suit nodded and said.

"The Fanxin Pirates?" Messi was taken aback, clearly unfamiliar with the group.

"Yes, it's understandable that the boss hasn't heard of him. That kid has emerged in the last two years, and he's very strong. He's caused quite a stir in the New World." The man in the suit then briefly recounted some of Fanxin's deeds, giving the boss a direct understanding of Fanxin.

Upon hearing this, Messi nodded slightly and said, "Heh, he does have some skill. However, he attacked our submarine and must pay the price. Take some men and tell him immediately. If he bows his head and apologizes to me, I can spare his life and even let him join my ranks."

Messi's expression immediately turned cold, and he said, "However, if they disagree, then we'll take action, sink them completely, and let them become fish food."

The man in the suit noticed that the temperature around him had dropped several degrees because Messi had become cold. He nodded slightly, not daring to delay, and quickly went to do his job.

Messi watched his subordinate's departing figure, grinned, and said, "Fanxin, huh? Heh, it's been a long time since I've encountered a truly formidable opponent. I hope you can last a while; it would be rather boring if you died too soon."

After saying that, he stopped paying attention to Fanxin and went to play with his young ladies.

The man in the suit arrived at the beach, immediately called on his brothers to get moving, and headed straight for Fanxin.
