Destroying Heaven and Earth (1)
Boom boom boom boom boom boom...
A series of explosions rang out, shaking the entire area. The Continent of Ice was completely Destruction, turning into countless ice shards scattered in all directions. Waves splashed dozens of meters high, and a dark hole appeared out of nowhere at the source of the explosions, like a ferocious beast that devoured everything around it.
Amidst the explosions came screams of agony, the screams of those from the Heavenly Star Alliance who hadn't yet escaped. They had been wondering what was going on and were just waiting to see what happened, but now they were reaping the consequences of their actions.
Those who escaped early managed to save their lives, but they were still thrown far away by the violent impact behind them.
Both Fanxin and the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader were shrouded in mist, their fates unknown.
The explosions continued unabated, seemingly without end, until an hour later when they finally subsided.
As the mist dissipated, the area was fully revealed. It was still the same sea, and from above, it looked unchanged. However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the seabed had changed.
There were no volcanoes here originally, but now a continuous cluster of volcanoes has appeared on the seabed, constantly spewing scalding lava. This has completely heated up the frigid ocean, causing many fish to flee at high speed and disappear without a trace. In just over an hour, this area has become a forbidden zone.
Swish swish swish...
Dozens of figures swooped down from the sky and floated on the sea. They were fully armored and were none other than the crew of Fanxin.
They unleashed their Haki, anxiously searching for Fanxin's figure. They had witnessed the earlier explosion firsthand; it was terrifying beyond measure. If they had been inside, they would probably have been dead long ago.
Fanxin hadn't left earlier; in order to hold off the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader, he was completely at the center of the explosion. Even with his formidable physique, Fanxin probably couldn't have withstood such a violent blast.
Everyone was extremely anxious and scattered to begin the search.
However, half an hour later, after searching the area, they still couldn't find any trace of Fanxin, and they were extremely anxious.
"What should we do?" Everyone gathered on a huge block of ice created by Bingfeng, looking worried. Bingfeng couldn't help but ask directly.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Fanxin had vanished without a trace, his fate unknown, and they didn't know what to do.
"Such a huge explosion, I'm afraid..." Lin Haicheng was silent for a moment, a look of sadness in his eyes. Fanxin had helped him a lot, and although he repaid Fan Xin by becoming Fanxin's crew member, Fanxin never treated him arrogantly. He respected Fanxin very much.
With his Fanxin gone, he was naturally in great pain, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.
The others all looked somber, their eyes reddening, and remained silent, though the pain in their hearts was undeniable.
"What should we do? Let's all talk about it." Wang Yan was the first to calm down. Although Fanxin might be gone, they still needed to make a good plan and couldn't keep dwelling on the pain of losing their companion.
"I'm going to continue my voyage, what about you?" Bingfeng said, her eyes red. This was her dream, and she wouldn't give it up easily.
"Me too," the others chimed in.
"Little Black, Little Fox, what about you?" Wang Yan glanced at the Little Black Cat and Little Fox who hadn't spoken until now and asked.
The Little Black Cat raised its head, revealing a small, jet-black face with large, intelligent eyes. It suddenly grinned and said, "I'll wait here."
"Me too," the Little Fox immediately replied, her face beaming with the same smile as the Little Black Cat.
Everyone was taken aback, wondering what these two were laughing about. Their Fanxin was dead; shouldn't they be sad?
Suddenly, Wang Yan realized something, looked at the two with surprise, and said, "Could it be... that Fanxin is not dead?"
The Little Black Cat and the Little Fox had always been by Fanxin's side, making them Fanxin two closest companions. They were still laughing, clearly not out of madness, as their emotions had stabilized. Therefore, there was only one explanation: Fanxin was not dead.
The others quickly gathered around, their eyes wide and fixed on the two of them, not daring to blink, as if afraid of missing something.
Being stared at by so many people made the Little Black Cat and the Little Fox a little uncomfortable. They coughed lightly, and the Little Fox spoke first, "Fanxin is indeed not dead. A part of my soul is fused with Fanxin's, and I can clearly sense that Fanxin's soul is beating. He is not dead, just very weak. It should be due to the damage caused by the explosion."
"Yes, I noticed that too. I installed something on Fanxin, and it showed that Fanxin isn't dead, but his condition is very bad," the Little Black Cat nodded and said.
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Since both of them had said so, Fanxin Xin must still be alive.
However, another problem arose in everyone's mind: Fanxin's condition was very bad, so wasn't his life still in danger? Wang Yan hurriedly asked, "Can you pinpoint his location now? His condition is terrible, and his life is probably in danger. We must treat him as soon as possible."
The rest of the group were eager to get started and search.
The Little Fox gave a wry smile, shook its head, and said, "I don't know where he is now, I only know that he's in a very unfamiliar place, not belonging to this place."
"An alternate dimension?" Everyone's expression changed. If Fanxin was in an alternate dimension, then they could only wait here, since they didn't possess spatial abilities.
"That's right, so we can only wait." The Little Black Cat gave a wry smile, then added, "But don't worry, Fanxin won't die, they absolutely won't die."
Everyone was stunned. Why was the Little Black Cat so certain? Could there be some hidden story behind this?
Seeing everyone's suspicious looks, the Little Black Cat felt a little embarrassed, unsure whether to speak or not, and turned to look at the Little Fox beside it.
The Little Fox hesitated, after Fanxin had instructed it not to reveal this easily, as it was a big deal and could cause huge trouble if it got out. At that point, countless forces would swarm in. However, seeing everyone's enthusiastic expressions, it understood that if it didn't reveal something, these guys wouldn't give up easily.
It stepped forward, coughed a few times, cleared its throat, and said, "There is a golden sphere inside Fanxin's body. That thing can provide him with enough life force. He will recover in a little while."
"A golden sphere? What's that?" everyone asked curiously.
"Hehe, didn't we go inside a monster? That thing came from inside. And you've been searching for it for days on end, exhausted, but without any news, remember?" The Little Fox looked at the crew members, smiled mysteriously, and said.
Bingfeng, Wang Yan, and the others were taken aback. After pondering for a while, they exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that thing?"
She didn't say it directly, but judging from her surprised tone, you could probably guess what she meant.
"Not bad." The Little Fox nodded, somewhat helplessly, and said, "After we came out, when Fanxin was cultivating, he suddenly discovered a golden sphere. Seeing that its power was the same as the one inside that monster, he was very surprised. After testing it in various ways, he knew that it was what everyone had been searching for. However, because it was of great importance, he didn't tell everyone to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
"He called us over and asked us to find a way to separate it from inside, but the method wasn't very good. Later, we used Soul Clan Secret Technique to separate a wisp of our own soul and put it into the dantian of our Fanxin to see if we could take it out. But there was little progress," the Little Black Cat immediately added.
"I understand. That time, Fanxin took you two away for a long time, wasn't it?" Wang Yan asked with a smile.
The Little Fox and the Little Black Cat nodded emphatically.
"That thing is indeed extraordinary. If he really has that thing inside him, he'll be fine." Bingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, a beautiful smile appearing on her lips.
The members of the Heavenly Soul Pirates nodded in agreement. Having all been inside monsters, they naturally knew the extraordinary nature of that ability.
"Hey, what is that?" The Straw Hat Pirates and the Heart Pirates were completely confused. They had never been there and naturally had no idea about that incredible ability.
"It's a good thing. I don't know the specifics, but it seems to extend a person's lifespan, slow down aging, and provide enough energy. With it, Fanxin will be safe," the Little Black Cat replied.
"Slow down aging?" A glint of surprise flashed in Luo's eyes. Such a thing was extremely rare and hard to come by. If word got out, it would probably cause a huge uproar.
"Hmm, it's about the same as the ultimate power of your Op-Op Fruit," the Little Fox remarked.
Luo's pupils constricted sharply, clearly realizing something, and he said in a trembling voice, "Remember, this thing must never be revealed, otherwise, we will be hunted down by the entire world, understand?"
The ultimate power of the Op-Op Fruit is to perform a devastating surgery on the human body, granting the recipient an extended lifespan. Doflamingo's desire to seize the Op-Op Fruit stems from this very desire for that extended lifespan.
However, despite all his calculations, he never expected that the Op-Op Fruit would fall into his hands. As a result, all of Doflamingo's plans came to naught.
Not only does Doflamingo want to obtain it, but all the forces in the New World want to obtain it. Once they find out, they will probably become the focus of the entire world's attention. At that time, they probably won't care about any Holy Land or One Piece, and will come to hunt them down first.
Because the One Piece are very rare, while they are relatively easier to deal with.
"Understood." Everyone's hearts tightened, and they all remembered it.
Luo stared intently at the Straw Hat Boy and instructed, "Straw Hat Master, remember this: you often talk nonsense. If you don't want to be chased to the ends of the earth by the enemy, then forget about this, understand?"
Noticing Luo's serious expression, the usually carefree Straw Hat Boy stopped his nonchalant manner, nodded emphatically, and kept it in mind without saying another word.
"Alright, Bingfeng, Bingfeng this area immediately. We'll wait here!" Wang Yan glanced around and made his decision. Since Fanxin wasn't dead, they would wait here. As long as Fanxin woke up, she should come here to find them.
"Yes." Bingfeng nodded, leaped into the air, and unleashed his ice power. In a moment, the sky turned freezing cold, snowflakes fluttered, and the entire world seemed to have fallen into a deep winter.
On the sea, the rippling seawater froze completely after a gentle touch of cold air, turning into hard ice blocks that stretched for dozens of miles.
This place had become a world of ice, and everyone was right in the center of this world of ice.
Everyone couldn't help but shiver, feeling icy cold all over, goosebumps rising on their skin, their lips trembling. Clearly, the extreme cold was unbearable for those dressed in thin clothes.
Wang Yan chuckled, her delicate body suddenly trembled, and a surge of intense heat swept out from within her, enveloping everyone and dispelling the icy chill. Only then did everyone feel somewhat comfortable.
"Alright, let's stay here. The ship has been sent to another dimension. Without Fanxin, we can't retrieve it, so we'll just have to make do." Bingfeng then used ice to create many more houses, almost one for each person.
Although they were formed from condensed ice, they did not feel cold because of Wang Yan's scorching heat reverberating in the air.
And so, everyone settled down.
This is a lush, verdant forest. The trees sway gently in the breeze, their leaves rustling softly, creating a sense of tranquility and peace.
Birds flitted among the branches, singing their own songs that echoed through the air.
In a clearing in the woods, a figure lay supine, covered in blood, his clothes torn, and countless wounds covering his body, a truly horrifying sight. Blood gushed from the wounds, staining his body and the emperor beneath him.
Within a ten-meter radius, everything was blood red, stained with his blood, and exuded a strong bloody smell.
Roar roar roar...
Awooooo...
Around the blood-red figure, a number of hungry wolves and tigers appeared. They had come attracted by the smell of blood, which stimulated them and made them even more ferocious and savage. They stared intently at the blood-red figure on the ground, their saliva dripping onto the ground.
They approached step by step, wanting to devour the blood-red figure and make it their meal.
"You despicable beast, you want to eat my man? Are you looking for death?" A figure emerged from the dantian of the crimson figure and landed around it. It was a woman with a graceful figure, wearing a white dress that reached her knees, revealing a pair of fair and beautiful legs.
This person was none other than Ren Fang. From this, we can deduce the identity of the blood-red figure. Indeed, he was Fanxin, who fought against the Heavenly Star Alliance Leader.
The explosion was so violent that he was severely impacted. Fortunately, his Black and White Clones intervened in time, creating a passage that transported him here, thus reducing the intensity of the attack. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
