Inside the Monster's Belly (2)

"Great! Great! Great!" the Little Black Cat exclaimed, jumping excitedly on the branches.

"How pitiful." Bingfeng arrived, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes as he looked at the crew members being chased.

However, although she felt some pity for them, Bingfeng had no intention of stopping them. She had seen that the crew members were now bloated and almost completely deformed. If they weren't trained and were allowed to continue eating like this, they would probably become enormous creatures.

Being too large is not a good thing here; if an island comes along to feed, it will be a catastrophic disaster.

Furthermore, being overweight places a heavy burden on the heart and lungs, which can seriously endanger their lives.

However, the training of magical beasts allows them to fully digest and absorb what they eat, which is a good thing for them.

"You're here too." The Little Black Cat smiled when it saw Bingfeng and the others.

"Hmm, why aren't you eating?" Bingfeng nodded gently, smiling at the Little Black Cat.

"I... I don't want to be trained." The Little Black Cat gave an awkward laugh, glancing over there with a hint of fear in its eyes.

Those guys are in a terrible state right now, being relentlessly trained by the monsters. Even a glance at them makes it unbearable, let alone experiencing it firsthand.

"Hehe, it's really nothing, as long as you can control yourself and not get addicted," Bingfeng said with a smile. She casually picked a banana and ate it slowly and elegantly.

The others also stepped forward to pick the things they liked to eat. The group ate with great relish.

The Little Black Cat licked its lips, unable to resist any longer, and immediately joined in.

It eats very cautiously, and will stop immediately if it shows any signs of addiction.

Even so, it still felt as if its body had gained weight at that moment.

"Ah, I can't eat this!" The Little Black Cat was so frightened that it immediately dropped the piece of meat in its hand, covering its mouth with its front paws, as if worried that it would lose control.

"Hehe, then let's send some things over to Fanxin and the others." Bingfeng found the Little Black Cat's frightened appearance quite amusing, and then she gave the Little Black Cat an idea.

The Little Black Cat was worried that it wouldn't be able to resist eating, so the best solution was to leave the island. Once outside, it wouldn't be tempted.

"Okay." The Little Black Cat immediately agreed.

It picked a lot of things from the tree, put them into the Mechanical Space, and then quickly flew back to the ship.

Once on the boat, the Little Black Cat finally breathed a sigh of relief, but looking towards the Man-Eating Island, it was still somewhat shaken.

"Why are you back?" Fanxin noticed the Little Black Cat, turned her head, and asked curiously.

"I'm worried I'll turn into a fat cat." The Little Black Cat jumped over and took out all the food from the Mechanical Space, placing it on the table next to Fanxin.

The small round table was piled high with food. Fanxin took a sniff, and Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, her appetite also aroused.

He picked up a piece of lean meat and took a bite. The sweet taste made him almost swallow his tongue.

"It's delicious, really delicious." Xiao Fan looked at Ren Fang beside him and said teasingly, "You should try it too, but you have to restrain yourself, otherwise you'll become a fat woman."

"What's wrong with fat women? Don't you like them?" Ren Fang glared at him with her beautiful big eyes.

Fanxin immediately surrendered, smiling broadly as he said, "No matter what you become, you'll always be my wife."

Ren Fang smiled sweetly, picked up a piece of meat, took a small bite, chewed it carefully, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "It's really delicious."

"It's truly unbelievable how nature has created such a wonderful natural delicacy," Fanxin exclaimed, his eyes shining as he looked at the Man-Eating Island.

"What are you thinking about?" Ren Fang noticed the strange look in Fanxin's eyes and asked curiously.

"If we could build a base here, we wouldn't have to worry about food anymore," Fanxin said with a chuckle.

With this island, they can easily gather food whenever they need it by simply going ashore.

"Are you planning to build a base here?" Ren Fang blinked her big eyes.

"I just thought about it, but it doesn't seem very realistic." Fanxin Xin nodded, but then dismissed it.

He did want to build a base here, but he already had one, and he couldn't just abandon it. The best option was to relocate here.

Everyone's gotten used to living there, so they'll probably feel reluctant to leave.

"Yes, our base is too far from here, it's inconvenient. If something happens here, we won't be able to come to our aid in time." Ren Fang nodded, a sense of helplessness in her eyes.

"Forget it, nothing in this world is perfect. Since we can't give up that place, then let's not build a base here." Fanxin paused for a moment, then immediately dismissed the idea.

He didn't want to be caught in the middle, so he decided to make a decision early to avoid trouble.

"Alright." Ren Fang nodded slightly, looked at the Little Black Cat beside her, and smiled, "Are you sure you don't want to eat?"

The Little Black Cat shook its head vigorously, like a rattle drum.

"Alright, then we won't be polite!" Ren Fang grabbed a large piece of meat and started eating it without any regard for appearances.

"Try to control yourself, or you really will get fat," the Little Black Cat hurriedly reminded you.

"Don't worry, if I gain weight, I'll just train and get back to my original weight." Ren Fang didn't care at all and continued eating.

The Fanxin is the same; it doesn't care about getting fat at all.

Seeing that the two didn't care at all, the Little Black Cat was also provoked. Its eyes changed for a moment, and finally it gritted its teeth and joined in.

The two people and the cat finished off all the food on the table.

All three of them had gained a lot of weight. The Little Black Cat had become a big fat cat, Ren Fang's once graceful figure had become somewhat bloated, and so had Fanxin.

The three of them exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's go, let's go train!" Fanxin said with a smile. With that, he stood up and went to the training room.

Ren Fang sent the child into the Diamond Space and then went with him.

The Little Black Cat was training on the deck of the boat.

Time flew by. Before we knew it, five hours had passed.

The people who went to the island gradually returned. The main combat forces, such as Bingfeng, had not changed much in appearance, obviously they had controlled themselves well and had not let their appetite control them.

The remaining crew members, although they had been trained for several hours, were still somewhat bloated, though much better than before.

They looked disheveled and exhausted, covered in sweat as if they had been pulled out of the water.

"Go wash up, everyone." Fanxin walked over, glanced at them, and couldn't help but smile as she said.

The crew members nodded listlessly, then went back to their cabins.

"Huh, you guys are controlling it very well!" Fanxin looked at Bingfeng and the others and was surprised to find that their figures hadn't changed much.

"If we don't control them, we'll end up like them," Bingfeng said with a smile, glancing at the crew members.

"That's true. I ate quite a bit earlier too, but luckily I trained for a few hours and then I returned to normal." Fanxin nodded in deep understanding. This stuff is very nutritious, but it's also easy to gain weight if you eat too much. If you don't have strong self-control, you might actually get sick from overeating.

"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"You should decide when you're leaving," Fanxin asked, sitting down, pouring herself a glass of red wine, taking a sip.

This place offered no challenge, and he found it rather dull. Although there was delicious food to eat, he wasn't particularly interested.

He decided to leave early. However, everyone seemed to be in high spirits, and he didn't want to spoil their fun, so he decided to leave the decision to them.

"About a month later," Bingfeng said first.

"Oh, why is it taking so long?" Fanxin Xin nodded and asked curiously.

"That place might not be very useful to us, but it's a treasure trove for the crew. They can become stronger there," Bingfeng said thoughtfully. "And the journey ahead will become increasingly dangerous. The Four Emperors, the Navy, the mafia, and the Revolutionary Army, among others, will all be heading that way. If they aren't strong enough, they'll likely find it difficult to protect themselves in battle."

"In that case, I think it's only right that we stay here a little longer. Besides, there's no need for us to be in such a rush; many people haven't even arrived yet, have they?"

Fanxin nodded slightly. He often read newspapers and obtained a lot of information from them. Nowadays, many pirates are in the Riot Sea and haven't come over. Even if he rushes to the destination, he might not be able to gain the upper hand. That Great One Piece is very hidden and hard to find.

Otherwise, the Four Emperors would have obtained the Great One Piece long ago, since they have been dominating this sea area for a long time.

"Alright, I'll do as you say." Fanxin Xin nodded in agreement.

"Okay, goodnight then." Bingfeng smiled and gracefully returned to her bedroom.

None of them had cooked anything; the food on the island had filled their stomachs so much that they couldn't eat anything else.

Soon, everyone left and went back to their bedrooms to rest.

Fanxin remained seated, drinking red wine. His glass was still more than half full; he planned to finish it before going to rest.

Suddenly, he frowned and his gaze drifted toward the deck. Although he couldn't see clearly through the wall, his powerful senses told him that something was slowly approaching.

His expression changed slightly with surprise. There were surveillance cameras on the ship, and his divided soul was guarding it. It would be extremely difficult for anyone to approach the ship silently.

However, something now seemed to ignore all of this and was heading straight for his ship. It was too strange, too bizarre.

His heart tightened immediately, and Haki quickly surged from his body, which, under his control, propelled him toward the ship's deck.

Soon, the entire deck was under his control. He examined it carefully and found a floating shadow hovering about ten centimeters above the deck.

"Who are you?" Fanxin frowned slightly, his cold voice emanating from his mouth.

"Hehe, as expected of someone from the Soul Clan, your perception is terrifying. I'm astonished that you could detect even this." The figure, seemingly unafraid, spoke to Fanxin with a faint smile.

"Who exactly are you?" Fanxin frowned even more deeply, his expression growing increasingly solemn. The other party had revealed his true identity in a single sentence, indicating that the other party knew of the existence of the Soul Clan and had likely dealt with them before.

He didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe, so he had to be cautious, otherwise he might suffer a loss.

"I am Motian, the lord of this sea." The elusive figure became clearer at this moment, revealing himself to be an old man with white hair, dressed in coarse cloth, leaning on a cane, and looking extremely aged.

"The lord of this place?" Fanxin paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "This place doesn't seem to be under any rule. If you are the lord of this place, why haven't I heard of you?"

This sea area is extremely vast, and if it were occupied, it would definitely attract attention. For example, it would be very difficult for the Four Emperors and others to conceal their identities once they ruled over a region, because the Navy would spare no effort to uncover them.

"Hehe, I was the former lord. Since the upheaval here, there has been no lord." said the old man who called himself Motian.

"Alright! Then tell me, why did you contact me?" Fanxin was too lazy to waste time with this nonsense and went straight to the point.

The fact that this person suddenly contacted him meant something was up. Moreover, the person's abilities seemed quite strange, as they could actually block his senses, forcing him to be cautious.

"I've come here to make a deal with you. Is that alright?" the old man from the Motian said.

"A deal? What kind of deal?" Fanxin pondered for a moment before asking. He still didn't leave, sitting there quietly, but his body was already tense, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

"I want to reclaim this area, but I've lost my body and can't fight, while you seem to be different. So, I'd like to ask you for help," Motian old man said immediately.

"Hehe, why should I help you!" Fanxin suddenly laughed and said.

"I have some connection with your Soul Clan, and your Soul Clan even owes me a favor," Motian old man said with a smile. As he smiled, the wrinkles on his face smoothed out considerably.

"Human favors?" Upon hearing this, Fanxin frowned immediately, looking at the deck with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

Although he was a member of the Soul Clan, he knew little about the Soul Clan, and was even more unaware of the relationship between the Soul Clan and this Motian.

Therefore, he finds it hard to believe when the other party brings it up now.

"Yes, your Soul Clan owes me a favor, and now I need you to repay it." Motian Tian nodded, and his body suddenly floated into the cabin, arriving in front of Fanxin.

Fanxin stared at the other person for a long while, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know about this, and even if it did, it's not me who's repaying it, but those old guys."
