Heavenly Star Alliance (III)
An hour later, the two returned to the surface of the sea, their faces ashen, like zombies who had been buried for three days.
They saw that several submarines were completely frozen, and it was impossible for them to rescue them on their own.
Now, even if they were to request help, it would take them time to get there. And the people underwater simply cannot wait that long.
"Tell the young master." The tall man sighed, leaning dejectedly against the ship's railing, gazing at the blue sky with lifeless eyes, feeling that his life was about to come to an end.
This time, they brought their elite force, but it was all wiped out because of his erroneous orders. If he had been more careful and only sent one submarine as a vanguard to probe the enemy, the entire force wouldn't have been destroyed.
However, there's no going back in life; the die is cast, and he could only accept reality.
"Sigh." The monkey-faced man sighed heavily, took out Den Den Mushi, and dialed the young master's number.
After a series of beeping sounds, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
Both of them felt a chill run down their spines, and cold sweat involuntarily broke out on their foreheads. This voice was both a blessing and a nightmare for them.
If they do a good job, it's a blessing; if they mess it up, it's a nightmare.
"How did things go? They should have been wiped out by now." The voice was calm, yet carried an air of authority.
"Young Master, I... we..." The monkey-faced man stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"What's going on? Tell me the results quickly." The man addressed as "Young Master" was somewhat displeased and gave a cold snort.
The monkey-faced man's heart skipped a beat. After swallowing hard a few times, he said, "Young Master, I... I'm sorry, we messed up."
After saying that, he slumped down, as if all his strength had been drained away. He knew that once the young master learned of the situation, he would definitely not let them off easily.
"What? You messed it up?" The young master seemed very surprised, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Yes, young master, Fanxin's side is too powerful. One of the women has frozen the entire sea area. None of our submarines escaped; they are all Bingfeng hundreds of meters deep on the seabed, and it's hundreds of degrees below zero. They have no way to get out." The monkey-faced man spoke more fluently now. Anyway, he knew the result, and his fear had lessened a lot.
"You mean to say that the other side only sent one person and wiped out my entire team? Is that right?" The young master was furious; you could hear his heavy breathing even through the Den Den Mushi. He was clearly enraged.
"Yes, they only sent one person, and before we even got close, when Juli and the others were dozens of miles away, Fanxin sensed it and dispatched one of his capable assistants to unleash a powerful attack that Bingfeng our submarine." The monkey-faced man said somewhat dejectedly. They had actually run into such a formidable opponent; coming here this time was practically suicide.
Fortunately, they were hanging far behind; otherwise, they would probably have become ice sculptures themselves, a unique sight in this area.
However, thinking of the angry young master, the monkey-faced man sighed helplessly. The young master had not yet punished them, but he knew that even if they didn't die, they would probably suffer unbearable pain.
"Damn it, you're infuriating!" the young master roared, startling the monkey-faced man so much that he dropped the microphone.
The young master roared for quite a while before finally stopping.
"Young Master, what should we do?" the monkey-faced man asked cautiously, his eyes filled with expectation. The young master's orders determined their lives, and now they could only pray in their hearts that the young master would show mercy.
"Come back. This time it's not your fault. Come back and explain everything." The young master's tone returned to its calmness, making the two feel somewhat unreal.
However, they nodded and then hung up the phone.
"The young master didn't get angry at us, what does that mean?" The tall man looked suspicious. This was completely different from the young master he had imagined, which puzzled him.
"Never mind him, no matter what happens to the young master, we have to go back." The monkey-faced man sighed. He couldn't understand it either, but there was no use in figuring it out now. He could only go back and see what was going on.
The two nodded, said no more, and sailed away from the area.
"Wang Yan, later, you'll melt the ice in this area." Fanxin lay back on the recliner, enjoying the sunshine and sipping delicious red wine, as she spoke to Wang Yan, who was wearing a red bikini that showed off his good figure.
Wang Yan wore a red bikini that covered her most intimate parts, revealing her beautiful figure. Her curves were all in full bloom, making her the envy of everyone around her. Luckily, the crew members weren't there, otherwise, they probably would have all come over to watch.
After doing a few sit-ups, Wang Yan asked, puzzled, "Why? Are you going to rescue those guys?"
Fanxin waved his hand and said, "I'm not going to rescue them, but to obtain those submarines. It's such a waste to leave such good steel at the bottom of the sea. Giving them to Little Black Cat will give us several hundred more robots."
Wang Yan smiled and said, "I see. Alright, I'll go."
Fanxin Xin nodded and continued sunbathing.
More than an hour later, Wang Yan set off, jumping onto the Bingfeng sea. With a slight movement of her fingers, she instantly transformed into scalding lava, which plummeted down and landed on the ice.
With a hissing sound, the icy ice began to melt, and soon a large hole appeared beneath Wang Yan's feet. As the amount of lava increased, the hole grew larger and larger, spreading outwards, like a giant beast slowly opening its mouth.
Wang Yan herself jumped directly into the huge hole, and in the end, she transformed into magma, engulfing an area of dozens of miles in radius.
Not only on the sea surface, but also in the seabed where ice had Bingfeng, the ice was gradually melting.
The submarines also started moving, but instead of moving forward, they plummeted downwards.
The submarine's equipment had long been frozen and damaged, making it impossible to keep it afloat.
"Little Black, let's get started." On the ship, Fanxin had been keeping an eye on the progress. Seeing that the submarines had been thawed, he immediately called the Little Black Cat over.
The Little Black Cat chuckled and immediately ordered the robots to go into the sea and dismantle the submarines. With Wang Yan's protection, the robots were not attacked by the scorching lava, so they arrived safely around the submarines.
Hundreds of robots worked together to dismantle the submarine, then slowly pulled it to the surface and handed it over to the Little Black Cat. The Little Black Cat didn't hesitate, stuffing everything into its Mechanical Space, causing the robots inside to melt and create various robot parts.
"Hey, boss, we got a message from downstairs. It seems a submarine is escaping at top speed." The Little Black Cat looked incredulous. The robot downstairs had just sent a message saying that a submarine was escaping, and the robot couldn't stop it at all.
"Oh, someone's still alive? They really are unkillable cockroaches." Fanxin was also stunned, feeling quite incredulous.
The temperature was several hundred degrees Celsius, and several hours had passed, yet someone was still alive. No one could have imagined it.
"Hmph, they can't escape." The Little Black Cat glared. That submarine was her trophy, and she absolutely wouldn't allow those guys to run away.
"Let the Bingfeng go," Fanxin said to the Little Black Cat without making a move.
Without hesitation, the Little Black Cat immediately took Bingfeng and headed towards the direction the submarine had escaped.
Upon reaching the airspace above the submarine, the Bingfeng released its power of ice, Bingfeng a large area once again, and the submarine was naturally frozen solid as well.
Under the power of the Bingfeng, the speeding submarine seemed to have crashed into Iceburg and came to an immediate stop. Moments later, the ship once again became a statue.
Although the situation inside the submarine cannot be clearly seen, it can be guessed that the people inside must be in despair. They had barely escaped from the clutches of death, only to be caught by it again.
"What should we do? Are we going to have to wait for hours?" The Little Black Cat lay on Bingfeng's fragrant shoulder, looking at the Bingfeng sea, and frowned.
"Since we're going to wait for the Straw Hat Pirates and the Heart Pirates here anyway, we'll just wait and come back tomorrow." Bingfeng snorted lightly and gracefully departed, like an ice fairy.
Blocks of steel were pulled up from the seabed and delivered to the ship, where the robots were busy and working enthusiastically. Meanwhile, Fanxin and the others were leisurely having a party on the ship, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Two weeks later, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Heart Pirates arrived one after another.
However, their arrival brought not only joy but also enormous trouble.
The two groups were being chased all the way here by others, and those chasing them were all members of the Heavenly Star Alliance, who were very strong and numerous.
Half a month ago, Fanxin easily dealt with the people sent by the Heavenly Star Alliance, which made the young master of the Heavenly Star Alliance furious. He couldn't handle Fanxin, so he vented his anger on the other two pirate crews.
The Straw Hat Pirates and the Heart Pirates bore the brunt of the Heavenly Star Alliance's young master's wrath, making their lives extremely difficult. They had been hunted for over half a month, and their ships suffered severe damage, with several large holes in their sails from cannon fire. If they couldn't escape, they would likely be shot down to the bottom of the sea.
However, now that they have encountered Fanxin, they no longer need to worry.
"Hehe, you got chased pretty badly, huh?" Fanxin chuckled as he looked at the two exhausted pirate crew members.
As soon as the pirate crew members boarded the Fanxin's ship, all their strength seemed to be drained, and they all lay down, some even falling into a deep sleep and snoring.
Straw Hat Boy was also in no good, and he immediately collapsed.
Only Luo and the others still had some energy, and they came over to greet Fanxin.
"Don't worry, now that you're here, you can rest easy." Fanxin patted Luo's shoulder. Luo was still dressed the same as before, seemingly unchanged, but her strength and aura had changed quite a bit, indicating that she had experienced a lot during this time.
"Thanks. Is there anything to eat? Get me some. I haven't had time to eat these past few days because I've been chased." Luo said weakly, leaning against the cabin wall, clutching his Scalpel.
"Don't worry, it's all ready. It'll be delivered soon. I'm going to check on those pursuers." Fanxin Xin chuckled, then ignored them, leaving Bingfeng and the Little Fox to guard the area. Fanxin led Wang Yan and Sun Zhijian to the bow of the ship.
Looking out from their vantage point, they could see numerous ships belonging to the Heavenly Star Pirates, numbering no less than fifty, all heavily armed and equipped with powerful cannons. The crew members were also filled with murderous intent. If it weren't for the ice blocking their path, they would probably be charging over now to Fanxin.
"What are you planning to do?" Wang Yan, dressed in a red cheongsam, looked even more alluring. Her dark eyes had turned blood red, and she stared intently at the ships a dozen miles away. If Fanxin hadn't yet given the order, she would have already charged forward.
"You decide what to do!" Fanxin pondered for a moment, then said, "In short, we need to buy them a day and a night to recover before launching a full-scale attack."
"A day and a night?" Wang Yan nodded, leaped onto the ice, and then approached step by step.
She suddenly clenched her fists, pointing them towards the sky. Her once delicate, snow-white fists transformed into crimson lava, which dripped onto the ice, instantly producing a hissing sound.
However, under her control, the lava stopped falling and instead shot into the sky.
Countless crimson fists, like cannonballs, shot towards the sky above the Heavenly Star Pirates, which was more than ten miles away.
The crimson lava filled the sky, causing a dramatic change in the originally azure sky, turning it a deep crimson as if it had been burned by a raging fire.
The air temperature was rising rapidly; the coolness was gone, replaced by intense heat, just like the height of summer.
The Continent of Ice beneath Wang Yan's feet was also affected, slowly melting as seawater flowed everywhere, soon soaking Wang Yan's pair of white jade feet. However, as soon as they got close, the seawater instantly evaporated and vaporized.
Wang Yan has already unleashed her magma abilities. Although she is only using her hands to perform the functions, her entire body is now incredibly hot, like a human furnace with frighteningly high temperatures.
In the distance, countless crimson fists rained down from the sky, densely packed like countless meteors falling, accompanied by dazzling sparks, as they roared towards the Heavenly Star Pirates' fleet.
Exclamations erupted from the Tianxing Pirate Ship, clearly astonished by what they had witnessed.
The crimson fist hurtled forward with unstoppable force. Although the crew of the Heavenly Star Pirates tried their best to resist, using all their special skills, the crimson fist was incredibly powerful and contained a scorching heat that could burn everything. Their weapons, fists, and other weapons were incinerated the moment they made contact, causing them to suffer considerable losses.
Several ships were set ablaze by the crimson fists, bursting into flames. Angry shouts and screams mingled together, rising and falling, lingering for a long time.
Snort
A cold snort echoed from the Heavenly Star Pirates' ship, seemingly carrying an extreme chill that caused the crimson fists to show signs of extinguishing. Countless crimson fists stopped advancing and fell into the sea from mid-air, emitting countless plumes of blue smoke.
