The Trap (1)

Fanxin traveled rapidly, reaching over a hundred miles away in less than half an hour.

He looked up and saw the ship he was looking for right above him.

"Heh heh, die!" A ferocious look appeared on Fanxin's handsome face. He clasped his hands together, facing the ship, ready to charge straight at it, pierce its hull, and destroy it completely.

Suddenly, at that moment, the Den Den Mushi on his body started ringing rapidly.

Fanxin Xin paused, took out his Den Den Den Mushi.

"Hello..."

"Boss, that's a trap. They came in two groups, one by sea and one by air. The sea group seems to be trying to lure you away, while the air group is there to deal with us," the Little Black Cat's urgent voice rang out. "We have many experts on our side, Doflamingo also... beep beep beep beep..."

The Little Black Cat didn't finish speaking before the call was abruptly disconnected.

Fanxin's face turned grim. Had he actually fallen for a trap? Doflamingo had come too? This was going to be troublesome.

The phone call was suddenly cut off; it must have been because Doflamingo used the Birdcage technique, which can cut off communication.

"Damn it, I'll let you go for now." Fanxin glared hatefully at the ships overhead, then turned to head back. This place was important, but his companions were especially important to him.

"Hehe, why are you leaving so fast? We haven't had a proper chance to play yet." Suddenly, a figure blocked his way; it was Yu Ren.

It was a tiger Fish-Man, enormous in size, with sharp fangs bared in its mouth and bloodshot eyes; just looking at it sent chills down your spine.

Behind him were dozens of Fish-Man, each with an imposing presence. With so many Fish-Man coming, they could certainly cause Fanxin considerable trouble.

"So you Fish-Man have also gotten involved with the Heavenly Star Alliance?" Fanxin's expression was cold, his tone chilling. He seemed calm, but everyone knew that this was just a calm before his rage.

"Others provide the money, we provide the labor, that's all," Fish-Man.

"Have you ever considered that this is a losing proposition?" Fanxin smiled calmly, her smile devoid of warmth, only chilling coldness.

"This time, it's not just us dealing with you; there are quite a few others too," the tiger Fish-Man laughed. "All we need to do is stop you; it's not difficult. Therefore, I can say this is a guaranteed profit."

The Fish-Man behind him were grinning menacingly; they seemed quite excited about the deal.

"Since that's the case, there's no need to say more." Fanxin paused for a moment, then said, "It's starting, so be prepared."

As he spoke, Fanxin took out the Seven Star Sword, pointed it at the ship above his head, and then at the tiger Fish-Man.

The tiger Fish-Man glanced at it suspiciously, but didn't pay it any mind. He waved his hand and coldly shouted, "Go!"

The last syllable of his voice was still lingering there, yet his figure was already right in front of Fanxin, moving with incredible speed.

The remaining Fish-Man also fired wildly, like humanoid cannonballs.

Before long, Fanxin was surrounded by them. They didn't give Fanxin a chance to breathe, punching and kicking him with all their might.

After their initial attack, they scattered with Inazuma, a sinister smile playing on their lips, their eyes fixed on Fanxin's fate.

As the waves subsided, Fanxin's figure gradually came into view. He was completely black, like a Black Man, and clearly exuded Haki. Judging from his calm and composed demeanor, he had obviously not suffered much harm.

He curled his lip, spat twice disdainfully, and said calmly, "Is that all the ability you have?"

The tiger Fish-Man's face flushed red, and he angrily cursed, "Not enough? Fine, I'll give you something real."

He charged forward alone, opened his blood-spitting maw, and bit down on Fanxin's head.

Because Fanxin neither dodged nor flinched, he easily bit him. He grinned maliciously, overjoyed, and was about to bite through Fanxin's head. With a snap, his sharp fangs broke off at that moment, causing him to scream in pain, tears almost streaming down his face.

"Your teeth aren't good, do you want me to get you a new set?" Fanxin said with a smile.

The tiger Fish-Man's expression changed. Ignoring his injuries, he was about to retreat rapidly to increase the distance between them.

However, while he reacted quickly enough, Fanxin reacted even faster. In the instant before he could move, Fanxin's right hand shot out like Inazuma and grabbed the tiger Fish-Man's right foot.

"Come back here!" Fanxin Xin pulled hard, dragging the tiger Fish-Man back from where he was about to leave.

The tiger Fish-Man roared and kicked Fanxin hard in the face with his left foot. Fanxin sneered and reached out with his other hand, grabbing the tiger Fish-Man's other leg.

Both of the opponent's legs were held by Fanxin, making escape extremely difficult.

The tiger Fish-Man's expression changed, and he shouted fiercely, "Damn it, what are you waiting for? Attack!"

The Fish-Man then realized what was happening and rushed forward, unleashing their strongest attacks in fury.

Fanxin merely glanced at it, then released ten Diamond Beasts and paid no further attention. He stared at the tiger Fish-Man and laughed, "I told you before that this deal of yours was a guaranteed loss, you didn't listen, now you have something to say?"

"Hmph, we still have men, they just haven't come down yet." The tiger Fish-Man shouted fiercely, but it was clearly all bark and no bite. He was being held captive by Fanxin and was resisting with all his might, but he still couldn't shake Fanxin in the slightest. He understood that the gap between himself and Fanxin was not small.

"Then let me deal with you all before I go up," Fanxin replied calmly, pursing his lips and saying, "Before you die, enjoy a good show. I'm sure you'll be very excited."

"A good show?" The tiger Fish-Man was stunned, not understanding what Fanxin was talking about.

"It's begun," Fanxin whispered.

The tiger Fish-Man's eyes turned bloodshot as he looked at the scene, his fury instantly turning red. His people were being attacked by more than a dozen monsters, and countless spikes, like a dense rain, blocked their escape route. They had no way to escape and could only wait to die here.

Screams echoed here, blood stained the ground red, and a strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air.

Minutes later, all his people died, sinking helplessly into the dark seabed; not one of them escaped.

"Damn it?" The tiger Fish-Man shrew glared at Fanxin, looking like he wanted to kill him.

However, Fanxin remained unmoved. "This is the consequence of attacking me. This world is fair. You want to kill me, and I can kill you too. Blame yourselves for being too greedy, understand?"

"I'll haunt you even as a ghost," the tiger Fish-Man cursed.

"I am a member of the Soul Clan. I am not afraid of ghosts, because I enjoy devouring their souls," Fanxin said with a light laugh.

The tiger Fish-Man froze, unsure what to say. What use were his threats if the other party feared nothing?

"Alright, it's time to send you on your way." Fanxin's calm tone sent a chill down the spine of the tiger Fish-Man. He struggled violently, but could not break free. In the end, he begged for mercy with snot and tears streaming down his face.

Fanxin was speechless for a moment. You're supposed to be a strong person, can you please stop using childish tricks?

"Damn it, get lost." Fanxin twisted the other man's leg, stopping his attack, and casually tossed him aside.

He didn't like killing cowards, and this guy was clearly a coward and a wimp, which didn't interest him at all.

The tiger Fish-Man breathed a sigh of relief and, without any hesitation, sped off into the distance. As for revenge, he had long since forgotten about it. He was joking; with such a powerful being, if he dared to seek revenge, he would be courting death.

"Next, it's time to get hyped." Fanxin wielded the Seven Star Sword, and in an instant, a tremendous change occurred in the sky, with dozens of planets falling downwards, the momentum of which was extremely terrifying.

He flashed out of the sea and into the void.

On the sea, the ship lay quietly anchored, carrying many people. Fanxin glanced around and his heart skipped a beat. Those guys were all quite strong; it seemed the Heavenly Star Alliance had really gone all out to deal with him this time.

"Heh, it's just a futile struggle." Fanxin was not afraid at all. If anyone wanted to kill him, they would have to have the ability to do so.

"What is that?" The people on the ship all looked up at the sky. Countless huge objects were falling from the sky, carrying a powerful force that caused the sea to churn as if a tsunami was about to occur.

They were all shocked and completely lost their composure.

"Damn it, that... that's a planet! My God, how could a planet possibly fall from the sky?" the people screamed, completely terrified.

"It's so big, and there are so many planets. If it falls, what will happen to us..." Someone trembled, shaking all over, clearly thinking of a terrifying scene.

"What are you standing there for? Run!" Someone shouted, and everyone snapped out of their daze and sped off into the distance.

An elderly man with white hair came out, looking at the scene outside with repeated exclamations of amazement. He then looked at Fanxin and said, "Little boy, did you create that?"

"Yes, do you like it? This is a gift from me to you, don't refuse it. Being buried alive by so many planets, I believe you can die in peace," Fanxin said with a smile.

After saying that, he swung the Seven Star Sword again, and more planets fell from the sky. Those who had originally fled far away stopped in their tracks, not because they didn't want to run, but because they couldn't escape.

Suddenly, vast expanses of planets appeared above them, covering such a wide area that even with their full speed ahead, they couldn't escape in a short time.

"Alas, it seems we will fail again this time." The white-haired old man sighed, clearly not expecting Fanxin to launch such a powerful attack.

With so many planets falling, this ocean could be completely filled. Who could possibly escape from here?

"Good to know. Goodbye." Fanxin sneered a few times, not lingering any longer. The attack over there, especially with Doflamingo's arrival, had made things even more troublesome.

That guy's ability is to manipulate others like toys. If Doflamingo controls his people and makes them kill their own comrades, that would be a problem.

"Go back!" A figure shot over, kicking Fanxin who had just turned around. Fanxin Xin's expression hardened, and he slightly shifted his body to avoid the attack. However, he did not stop and quickly flew dozens of miles, heading straight for the deserted island.

"Trying to leave? No way." The figure that had attacked him earlier came rushing back again, blocking his way.

Fanxin had to take a closer look at the other party; this guy's fighting strength was not to be underestimated. He was a man in a suit, with a face that even women would envy. He was tall and slender, and a smile played at the corners of his mouth, whether it was smugness or sarcasm was hard to tell.

His gaze toward Fanxin was filled with fighting spirit, like a hunter encountering his delighted prey.

"Get out of my way, I don't have time to fight you right now," Fanxin said coldly.

"That won't do. You have to get past me first before you can go over there," the man in the suit said stubbornly.

Fanxin raised an eyebrow slightly; this guy was a bit troublesome. He coldly retorted, "Fighting me is a death sentence. Are you sure you want to come?"

"I came here specifically for you." The man in the suit smiled, and without Fanxin's agreement, he took the initiative to attack.

He lunged at Fanxin with a fierce, dragon-like tail sweep, intent on killing him Fanxin.

Fanxin Xin frowned, then slowly delivered it. He understood that this guy was determined to pester him, and if he didn't defeat him, he probably wouldn't be able to leave.

"Since you're so eager to fight, then I'll gladly oblige." Fanxin sheathed the Seven Star Sword, preparing to clash head-on with his opponent.

"Hehe, come on, if you beat me, I'll join you," the man in the suit laughed.

"Huh, with me?" Fanxin was stunned. "What do you mean by that?"

"Don't get the wrong idea, I mean, I want to join you," the man in the suit explained immediately.

"Aren't you from that side?" Fanxin was even more puzzled. This guy had switched sides at the last minute; he was truly a freak.

"I respect the strong. If you defeated them, then they are no longer worthy of my following," the man in the suit said seriously.

"Hehe, we'll see." Fanxin paused for a moment, carefully examining the other person for a while. He was quite curious; this guy was really an oddball.

"Alright, I'm going." The man in the suit lunged across the dozens of meters between them, arriving in front of Fanxin, and unleashed a spinning kick aimed straight at Fanxin's face.

Fanxin glanced at it but didn't pay any attention. He stepped forward and punched the other man in the stomach.

"Ruthless enough, but you're courting death." The man in the suit sneered, not dodging, seemingly ready to meet Fanxin Xin head-on.

Slap slap

Soon after, the man in the suit kicked Fanxin in the face, while Fanxin's fist slammed into the man's abdomen.

Fanxin took a few steps back to the right, while the man in the suit was blasted several meters away. After landing, he staggered back more than ten steps before regaining his balance.

He touched his burning lower abdomen, looked at Fanxin in disbelief, and said, "Damn, is your face made of iron?"
