Battle (3)

"Hmph, go to hell." Fanxin had no time to care about his shocked expression and swung her knife to strike.

The blue-masked man in black's expression changed drastically. In his panic, he raised his sword to block Fanxin's deadly attack.

With a clang, the sword in his hand snapped in two, but the diamond knife, undeterred, continued its momentum as it swung towards his neck.

"Help me!" the man in black with the blue mask cried out in terror.

The others quickly pounced on Fanxin, one attacking Fanxin neck, one Fanxin back, one Fanxin waist, and the other slashing at Fanxin diamond knife.

Having already activated his Haki, Fanxin had complete control over his surroundings and naturally knew which direction these people were attacking.

However, he didn't interfere further, simply raising his knife to block the person attacking him with the diamond knife, not wanting him to get in his way.

He parried the black-masked man who attacked him with a diamond knife, and continued to swing his other diamond knife down, striking the man squarely in the neck.

The screams rose again, but stopped abruptly after a moment, for the man's neck had been severed by Fanxin, and he was rolling on the deck, a horrifying sight.

Blood was gushing from the headless corpse's neck like a fountain, spraying onto many people around it, and the stench of blood was overwhelming.

The attacks from the others arrived, unleashing tremendous force upon Fanxin, but they failed to inflict any real damage, only causing Fanxin to stagger a few steps. However, he quickly regained his footing and turned to look at the remaining four people.

"You monster?" The man in the black mask looked grim, his fear deepening.

With so many of them unleashing their strongest attacks, their opponent only staggered a few steps. How could they possibly defeat such a monster?

"Call our superiors immediately! This guy is beyond our capabilities!" the red-masked man shouted.

"That's right, we can't fight him head-on anymore; our attacks won't inflict any real damage." The green-masked man slowly retreated, his body moving uncontrollably.

Without a second thought, the last man in the yellow mask leaped away, preferring to fight others rather than confront a monster like Fanxin.

"You think you can leave?" Fanxin Xin chuckled, then vanished like Inazuma.

The man in the yellow mask was relieved to have left that place, but the next moment, his whole body suddenly tensed up. He turned around in disbelief, and a familiar smiling face came into view. His mind jolted, as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.

"You... how did you get here?" The man in the yellow mask looked at Fanxin's ambiguous smiling face, and his words became incoherent. Beads of sweat gushed from his forehead like a spring, and his clothes were soaked through in an instant.

"Heh, I hate people who run away the most, so you're the first one I want to kill," Fanxin said coldly.

"Damn it, die!" The man in the yellow mask knew he had no way out and had to fight back with all his might. He swung his longsword and slashed at Fanxin's head.

With a clang, the longsword struck Fanxin's head, but nothing happened; Fanxin's head seemed to be made of iron.

"Bastard." The man in the yellow mask paused for a moment, then became even more ferocious and continued hacking wildly. Fanxin Xin's head was chopped countless times, and the clanging sound was incessant.

Fanxin sneered a few times, his right hand Inazuma and grabbed the other person's neck. With a little force, the other person felt a suffocating sensation, and his head began to spin. The force with which he swung his longsword became weaker and weaker, and his speed became slower and slower.

"It's useless. My defense is practically invincible. Few physical attacks can harm me," Fanxin said calmly.

He has three layers of defense: Diamond Armor, Vajra Shield, and Haki. All three are excellent defensive techniques. With these three layers stacked together, there may be some people in the world who can harm him, but they are very few and far between, and they are definitely not the few people in front of him.

"Are you really a monster?" The man in the yellow mask looked terrified. He swung his sword, intending to cleave through Fanxin, but found that his hands were weak and he didn't even have the strength to hold the sword. The longsword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a crisp clanging sound.

"You can die now." Fanxin didn't want to dawdle, because he had other things to do. His face hardened, and he was about to strangle the other person's neck when a cold voice entered his ears.

"If you kill him, then I'll have no choice but to hunt him down."

Fanxin, who was about to exert force, loosened his grip slightly and slowly turned around to look. He saw a man in a red mask holding a person in his hand, with a knife held to the neck.

Fanxin Xin was taken aback and recognized the other party. It was Bepo, a navigator on the Heart Pirates's ship. He was a man from the Beast Kingdom who had gone to sea to become a pirate and joined Luo's fleet.

"Fanxin, I... I'm sorry, I couldn't win, and I got captured." Bepo looked innocent. He had just been fighting someone when the man in the red mask attacked and easily subdued him. He tried to resist, but his fighting strength was clearly insufficient, so he had no choice but to become a prisoner.

"This is none of your business." Fanxin Xin tossed the yellow-masked man away and said coldly, "Let him go."

The man in the yellow mask gasped for breath a few times, and the feeling of suffocation finally disappeared. He hurriedly stood up, ran to his companion's side, and glared angrily.

The man in the red mask did not release them, fearing that Fanxin would rush over and kill them.

"You'll kill him, you won't get away, I guarantee it." Fanxin's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted angrily, "Let him go, you can get out of here."

The man in the red mask was stunned. Fanxin wasn't going to kill them? He still couldn't believe it. He slowly took a few steps back, and after reaching the side of the boat, he threw Bepo out, grabbed his companion's shoulder, and sped away into the distance.

Bepo was incredibly skilled; with a mid-air flip, he landed steadily.

Fanxin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Bepo was alright. He glanced coldly into the distance, not bothering to chase after them. They were just a few cowardly fools; he couldn't be bothered with them.

He looked around, searching for the real mastermind, but even with his Haki pushed to its limit, he still couldn't find the person behind the scenes, and felt a little disappointed.

"Let's go." Fanxin walked towards the distance, with Bepo following closely behind.

In the distance, the battle was drawing to a close. With the addition of magical beasts, those guys were defeated one after another, and their army was routed.

Fortunately, the attackers only injured them and didn't go too far; otherwise, these thousands of people would probably have all perished here and become food for the fish. They lay on their backs on the ground, Kikoku and screaming in agony.

"Get lost." Fanxin a cold glance, then led everyone back to the ship and headed towards the Beast Kingdom.

These guys were just small fry; although he was annoyed, he didn't want to start a massacre.

Not long after they left, the masked men returned. They were somewhat surprised to see the wounded soldiers scattered all over the ground; they had assumed that Fanxin would have killed them all.

"It seems he's somewhat different from what we expected," said the man in the red mask.

"Indeed, most people, when surrounded and attacked, would probably retaliate fiercely." The man in the yellow mask was still shaken, and the ferocity of Fanxin involuntarily surfaced in his mind. Looking at the Kikoku crowd on the ground, he had a thought that he wanted to become one of them.

Because Fanxin dislikes killing the weak, if he were weak, he wouldn't have been so close to death before.

"Alright, let's clean up this mess and let the higher-ups handle it." The man in the red mask sighed. "I didn't expect that kid to be so powerful, and I suspect that wasn't even his limit. Once he goes berserk, he'll probably be even more formidable. We're no match for him."

"That's right, let the Second Elder and the First Elder come over, otherwise, no one can stop them from going to the Holy Land," the man in the black mask chimed in.

After a brief discussion, the group reached a consensus and immediately took out their phones to report the situation to their superiors.

After hanging up the phone, they cleaned up the mess and left with their remaining troops.

"Fanxin, we need to be careful next, the people coming will be stronger." Luo walked over and said with a heavy expression.

Although he had dealt with those guys earlier, he had also injured quite a few people, and several had died in battle.

"Of course. Go to the Little Black Cat and get the Flight Armor. Make sure your people can't win, so they run away immediately and hide for now," Fanxin said after a moment's thought. The two sides were already allies, so he wouldn't be stingy with anything.

Luo didn't stand on ceremony and nodded in agreement. He didn't care about the details, but his subordinates were not strong enough, so he had to find them something to protect their lives.

"Alright, you should all go and rest. You've been fighting for hours, you must be tired." Fanxin patted Luo on the shoulder and headed straight for her bedroom.

He was a little tired; fusing two hundred Diamond Beast had taken a heavy toll on his body.

Back in his bedroom, he lay down and fell asleep. Of course, he still left a ghost outside to guard the room, so that it would know immediately if there was any unusual activity.

The ship sailed slowly without being attacked.

However, what they didn't know was that a ship was following closely behind them, maintaining a distance of a hundred miles.

After a day and a night, the three ships came to rest near a deserted island.

"Let's take a rest. We'll leave in a few days," Fanxin said as she came out of the room.

Everyone was taken aback, confused as to why Fanxin had suddenly called a halt. Shouldn't they have gone straight to the Beast Kingdom?

Fanxin took in everyone's puzzled looks, smiled calmly, and said, "Of course we're going to the Beast Kingdom, but if there's any trouble, we'd better deal with it before we go."

"Trouble? Have those people come again?" Bingfeng's expression turned cold. How infuriating! Again and again! Do they think they're easy to bully?

"My ghost sensed something; someone is following us, but they're a hundred miles away." Fanxin said helplessly. He had sensed it when he boarded the ship, thinking they would catch up and attack. However, he was wrong. The group just followed without charging at them, which frustrated him greatly.

"Even if we wait here, those guys might not come." Wang Yan frowned. Dressed in red, she looked even more alluring, captivating many people.

While he couldn't deny his Fanxin, he also revealed a confident smile and said, "Don't worry about that. If they don't come, I'll go and invite them!"

"Go and invite them?" Everyone was taken aback. How could they invite them?

"Hmm," Fanxin Xin grinned and said, "You guys set up defenses here and be ready to deal with any other attacks, while I'll go and meet them, and try to resolve all those troubles in one go."

Everyone understood that if they didn't resolve this problem, they probably wouldn't be able to reach the Beast Kingdom safely. So, they said no more and nodded in agreement.

"I'm going." Taking advantage of a lull, Fanxin quietly slipped into the water and went into the sea.

Bingfeng, Wang Yan, Nami, and Luo are setting up their positions. A fierce battle is likely to ensue here soon, so we must take it seriously.

Each of them possessed Flight Armor, and each was accompanied by a robot that could act as a shield when necessary.

The defenses were set up in no time. Wang Yan, Luo, and others took turns on duty to prevent any surprise attacks.

Meanwhile, Fanxin had already entered the water and was quickly heading towards the boat that was hanging behind them.

"No trace of Fanxin was found." A few miles from the island, a shark swam quickly towards it. Reaching the edge of the island, it poked its head out and surprisingly released its Observation Haki. A moment later, it withdrew its Observation Haki, sank into the sea, and transformed into a shark- Fish-Man. It took out Den Den Mushi, spoke a few words, and relayed the message.

Hundreds of miles high in the sky, a maniacal laugh suddenly erupted from a hydrogen balloon, "His Fanxin is gone? Excellent! Go! Wipe out all his men immediately, cripple his left and right arms!"

"Understood," dozens of different voices responded in unison.

Moments later, dozens of dark figures jumped off the hydrogen balloons and flew straight to the island where Wang Yan and his group were stationed.

After dozens of figures left, another tall figure appeared, wearing a pink feather coat, blood-red glasses, floral trousers, and women's high heels.

His attire was so familiar; if Fanxin were here, he would recognize him at a glance. This person was none other than Doflamingo, whom they had defeated in Dressrosa.

After being rescued by Jack, he disappeared without a trace, but unexpectedly he reappeared here.

Doflamingo looked down, his face contorted with rage, a chilling smile playing on his lips. "You three pirate crews brought me down from my pedestal, and now I'll wipe you all out and exact my revenge. Heh heh, without your Fanxin, everyone else is just trash."

As he spoke, he glanced at the inside of the helium balloon and said coldly, "Tell your men to do their best to keep Fanxin occupied. I don't want to be disturbed. That kid stole some of my abilities, which will restrict my actions."

"Don't worry, he won't be able to get back in time, but you need to hurry too." A soft, feminine voice came from inside the helium balloon; it was unclear whether it was male or female.

"Hmph, I hope so." Without further hesitation, Doflamingo jumped out of the hydrogen balloon.
