"Ah, I understand." The officer in the black top hat nodded, then went to warn the marines who had heard the news, telling them to remember the Vice Admiral's words and forget what had just happened.

Although none of them had experienced that event and didn't know what the Soul Clan was, the mere mention of the term "Soul Clan" would cause a sensation. Therefore, he had to take precautions in advance.

Vice Admiral Garp put down the senbei, walked to the bow of the ship, looked at the vast sky, and muttered to himself, "Little guy, I'll keep this a secret for you for a while. I hope you can grow up quickly. Otherwise, forget about revenge, you might not even survive."

After gazing at the sky for a while, Vice Admiral Garp immediately shook his head, clearing his mind of those distractions. He returned to the mast, sat down in his personal armchair, and continued eating his senbei. He grinned foolishly, as if nothing had happened.

After flying in the sky for a while, Fanxin was stunned when he saw that no pursuers were coming.

"They didn't send anyone to hunt me down? What's wrong with that old man?!" Fanxin frowned, somewhat puzzled. He was going to be a major enemy of the Navy in the future, and the sooner he was eliminated, the better for the Navy.

However, Vice Admiral Garp didn't send anyone to hunt him down, which puzzled him. Didn't Vice Admiral Garp realize the immense trouble he would cause the Navy in the future?

"Is it because I'm young that you look down on me? Do you think I'm not worthy of his help? Hmph, arrogant old man, just you wait. Now that I know who killed my family, I will fight for it." Fanxin snorted and said, "I'll make you understand that I'm not a brat. I'm very powerful."

After being angry for a while, Fanxin stopped thinking about that old man Garp. He took out his Den Den Mushi and dialed the number of Ren Fang and the others' Den Den Mushi. A moment later, the call connected and someone answered.

"Hello, Fanxin? How are you? Where are you?" Ren Fang answered the phone. She was sitting at the restaurant table, cleaning her gun. Langyue and the Little Black Cat were also sitting there, not asleep.

They were all very worried about Fanxin's safety, so even after dark, they sat at the table waiting, wanting to make sure Fanxin was really safe before they could go to sleep.

"Ah, I'm in the sky. I've left the warship. Don't worry, I'm completely safe now," Fanxin nodded and said.

"Oh, that's good. Tell us your location, and we'll set sail to pick you up right away," Ren Fang said with a sigh of relief. Fanxin was safe, they were completely relieved.

"Ah, okay, I'm here..." After Fanxin told Ren Fang his coordinates, he hung up the phone and began to descend, flying close to the sea surface so that Ren Fang and the others could find his trail.

Shortly after he landed above the sea, a ship suddenly emerged from the seabed in his area. It was the only ship to rise from the seabed in that region, making it very conspicuous. Fanxin quickly spotted the ship and immediately flew towards it.

Once he reached the ship, he controlled his body, hovering in the air, waiting for the Little Black Cat to retract the ship's protective shield. Soon after, the shield slowly contracted, finally folding up and storing itself around the ship's side.

After Fanxin on the ship, Fan Xin immediately put away his Flight Armor and headed towards the restaurant.

"Fanxin, have you found out? Have you received any news?" Ren Fang asked curiously when she saw Fanxin come in.

"Ah, I didn't ask about my parents. However, I do know about the people who attacked our family more than ten years ago, and I already know the whereabouts of one of them," Fanxin said coldly after sitting down.

"Who is it?" Ren Fang asked.

"Admiral Akainu, owner of the Magma-Magma Fruit," Fanxin said.

Ren Fang, the Little Black Cat, and Langyue stared wide-eyed in disbelief upon hearing this. Of course, they were mostly terrified. That was a naval admiral, the highest fighting force in the navy.

Their strength is extraordinary; the mere mention of their names sends pirates trembling with fear, causing them to flee with their tails between their legs.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Ren Fang asked again.

Fanxin deeply hates the people who killed his family. If Akainu is indeed the murderer of Fanxin's family, then Fanxin will definitely fight Akainu. Fighting a Marine Admiral is tantamount to suicide if you don't have that kind of strength.

She really didn't want Fanxin to go, because it was too dangerous.

"Ah, it's absolutely true. That old man Garp told me. He said that the only person in the world who can instantly turn their body into magma is Akainu, who ate the Magma-Magma Devil Fruit. There can't be anyone else." Fanxin nodded and said.

"So you're going to fight Akainu, right?" Ren Fang said.

"Ah, it's unavoidable. Unless I hide in a small corner for the rest of my life and choose to forget the blood feud of my family, I will have no choice but to fight him in the end."

Fanxin nodded firmly and said, "Hehe, don't be nervous. I'm not going now. I can't even beat old man Garp now. Garp's strength is comparable to a Marine Admiral. If I can't beat Garp, I'm even less of a match for Akainu. Going there now would be suicide."

"I will patiently wait for the right opportunity. Only when I am strong enough to be a match for them will I go back to cause trouble. For now, I must hide and work hard to improve my strength."

"Ah, that puts my mind at ease. So what should we do from now on?" Ren Fang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She was very worried that Fanxin would go looking for trouble with Akainu right now, which would undoubtedly be suicide.

"Garp already knows I'm from the Soul Clan, and he might leak my identity. Once he does, the Navy will definitely take action. They might send powerful experts to hunt us down. So, for safety's sake, I've decided to postpone our voyage. We must now focus on improving our strength. Only when we become stronger can we face the pursuing Navy directly," Fanxin Xin said after a moment's thought.

"What about finding that person?" Ren Fang nodded slightly upon hearing this.

They've already become enemies of the navy, and the navy will definitely send warships to pursue them. If they're not strong enough, they'll be in real danger. So improving their strength is their top priority. However, they set sail to find Fanxin's parents. If they hide and train, they won't be able to find them.

"Let's put it on hold for now. We've waited for over a decade, can't we wait a little longer?" Fanxin said.

"That's true." Ren Fang nodded and said, "But where should we hide? If our hiding place isn't well concealed, we'll be in trouble if the navy finds us."

"Yes, that's true." Fanxin, he nodded and said, "The more dangerous the place, the safer it is for us. So, we need to find those dangerous places; if the navy dares to go in, then we'll be safe."

"But where is there a place that even the navy dares not go?" Ren Fang said.

"Uh, this is a big problem."

Fanxin was taken aback upon hearing this. They had only been at sea for a short time and were not very familiar with this ocean. Finding a place like this would not be easy for them.

"Hehe, maybe I can help with this." Just as everyone was frowning in worry, the dog emerged from Ren Fang's body. After transforming into a golden puppy, it smiled and said.

"Oh, where is it? Tell me quickly!" Fanxin Xin urged immediately. He was at a loss for what to do, and just when he was about to doze off, someone brought him a pillow. He was naturally excited.

"Calm Belt?" Xiaojin said.

"Hmm, what is Calm Belt?" Upon hearing this, Fanxin paused for a moment, asking with some confusion. He had never heard of the term "Calm Belt" Calm Belt, so he didn't know the concept.

"Hehe, I didn't know at first either. But, I was inside that bastard's body and went to many places with him, so I know a lot about these places. The only truly terrifying one is the Calm Belt," Xiaojin said. "The Calm Belt is an area where there is no wind all year round; it's perfectly calm there all year round."

"However, if you think that calm equates to safety, you're sorely mistaken. It's not only unsafe, it's extremely dangerous. That's because it's the lair of the Sea Kings, where they live. Anyone who dares to go there will be attacked by Sea Kings. We've been to the Calm Belt. There were only a few of us then, and in a small boat. When we got there, our ship was swallowed up by a gigantic Sea Kings. If it weren't for my abilities, that guy would be dead, a meal for the Sea Kings."

"However, after that guy saw my abilities, he started to have wicked thoughts. He formed a pirate crew and then exploited my abilities extensively. He became extremely ruthless and cruel in everything he did. So, I had long ago decided to leave him. He just didn't know that and thought I was still under his control."

"Even the navy wouldn't easily set foot in the Calm Belt, because they'd be attacked there too. Of course, there's another reason they don't go. Once you're in the Calm Belt, getting out is incredibly difficult. Even if prisoners go there, they won't follow. They're doomed anyway, so there's no point Calm Belt taking the risk."

"Therefore, if you go to the islands in the Calm Belt, it is absolutely safe. The Navy will never deliberately go there. They will simply turn back when they see the Calm Belt."

"Oh, that's a good choice." Fanxin Xin nodded slightly and said.

"Yes, you all have Flight Armor, so getting inside is a piece of cake. The Calm Belt is a terrifying forbidden zone for others, but for you who have the ability to fly, it's a safe fortress," Xiaojin said.

"Okay, let's go there." Fanxin pondered for a moment, then nodded and made his decision.

"Ah, I can lead the way," Xiaojin said.

"That would be even better." Fanxin nodded, then looked at Langyue and said, "Langyue, starting tomorrow, we plan to use your abilities to rush all the way to the Calm Belt. Is that alright?"

Ships travel too slowly, and if they run out of energy, they have to stop and recharge. Langyue's ability, on the other hand, is much simpler; it can use its power as soon as it's full.

He had to act so quickly because he had no choice. He didn't know when the navy would catch up. When the navy attacked the Soul Clan, if they had known that there were still Soul Clan members alive, they would never have let it go. They would have definitely sent experts to prevent future troubles.

Therefore, he had to act quickly so that once he hid inside the Calm Belt, the navy would be unable to find him.

"Ah, no problem," Langyue nodded and said.

"Alright, Little Black, starting tomorrow, you can put this boat away. We'll use it again when we set sail again," Fanxin said to the Little Black Cat.

The Little Black Cat nodded.

"Alright, everything's arranged. Everyone go and get some rest. Tomorrow we'll be traveling like crazy, trying to get to the Calm Belt as soon as possible." Fanxin waved his hand, telling everyone to go to sleep.

Ren Fang and the others did not hesitate, and after a short while, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Fanxin steered the boat from the bow. He hadn't slept because he had heard too many shocking things that day, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.

"Once we reach the Calm Belt, I'll also take control of the Tower of Vicious Wolves. This way, I'll have both an escape weapon and an offensive weapon, covering both offense and defense. It won't be so easy for the Navy to hunt me down." Fanxin pondered for a moment, then grinned and said.

He hadn't originally intended to target the Tower of Vicious Wolves, given how sinister it was. However, now that he knew the truth, he had no choice but to take the risk. Without formidable strength, attempting to defeat a Marine Admiral was simply a pipe dream.

It was already extremely difficult for him to keep his life in the enemy's hands. Therefore, in order to gain greater strength, Fanxin had no choice but to take a gamble.

"Hmph, no matter how vicious you are, I will definitely subdue you, Tower of Vicious Wolves." Fanxin glanced at the Wind and Sand Tower, but his eyes weren't on the Wind and Sand Tower itself; they were on the Tower of Vicious Wolves inside. That was his real target.

"However, I need to practice with the Wind and Sand Tower too. After I activated the Sandstorm Towers, I got trapped inside. If I can escape from there, then I won't need to wait there anymore. This time, I must take control of these two towers no matter what. This might be the key to my victory over the Navy," Fanxin Xin said with a determined expression.

He had only recently acquired the two towers, so he hadn't thoroughly studied them and didn't know how to use them. If he had known how to use them, he wouldn't be so troubled.

"And the Little Fox's abilities, I haven't fully studied them yet. This time, I'll study them thoroughly together. When I can use these abilities freely, that will be the time for me to continue my voyage."

Fanxin confidently stated, "That's when the Navy will start to suffer. Hmph, Akainu? You wait, one day I'll make you kneel before me."

After thinking for a long time, Fanxin felt very tired. So, he turned off the engine and leaned against the bow of the boat, sitting there half asleep and half awake.

Nothing more was said that night.

The next day, Fanxin got up early. Ren Fang and the others also got up early. They all worked together to make breakfast, and after eating, they started packing their luggage.

Langyue created a giant air wolf and two giant water wolves, which were waiting there.

Fanxin told Ren Fang to wait inside the giant air wolf. Then, he had Little Black Hei put the boat away. After that, he threw the Little Black Cat inside the giant air wolf.

Afterwards, he and Langyue each rode a giant water wolf and headed in the direction Xiaojin had indicated.

From that day on, a unique scene appeared on the sea.

The three giant wolves raced across the land at breakneck speed, as if chasing something. They traversed the sea and mountains, never stopping no matter how beautiful the surrounding scenery was, seemingly indifferent to it all.

After traveling for twenty consecutive days, Xiaojin finally called a halt.

Xiaojin Jin called a halt because they had already reached their destination Calm Belt.

"Is it just ahead?" Fanxin asked.

"Ah, yes, you can use the Flight Armor to fly up high and take a look," Xiaojin said.

Fanxin nodded. He put on his Flight Armor, flew to a high altitude ahead, and looked down. He found that the sea was indeed very calm, completely different from where they had just been standing.

He then landed and returned to the giant wolf.

"Langyue, create a batch of giant wolves and go ahead to test them out. I want to see just how big the Sea Kings really are," Fanxin said with a smile, looking at Langyue beside her.

He had seen enormous sea monsters, but he had never seen a real Sea Kings. He wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

"Ah, no problem." Langyue nodded, and then immediately activated its power to create one hundred giant air wolves and one hundred water wolves.

"Go, attack the sea ahead!" Langyue shouted.

Moments later, all the giant wolves charged forward and launched a fierce attack on the sea. The once calm, Calm Belt was instantly transformed into a raging torrent, never to be calm again, as the giant wolves had turned the area upside down.

Fanxin and Ren Fang watched quietly, their eyes fixed on the sea, eager to see the true face of the Sea Kings.

As everyone eagerly awaited, the Sea Kings finally arrived.

A moment later, a gigantic head emerged from the Calm Belt. It was a massive fish head, the exact name of which Fanxin didn't know. However, this fish head was strangely large, more than ten times larger than the warships they had seen.

The warship was already huge, but this creature was even bigger. You can imagine how powerful this Sea Kings was.

If you're not strong enough, even a single bump from it could leave you with broken arms or legs.

After a while, not only fish heads appeared on the surface of the sea, but also giant toads, sea monkeys, giant turtles, and many other creatures—a diverse array, too numerous to count.

"Haha, how about it? The Sea Kings huge, isn't it?" Xiaojin said with a chuckle.

It is not afraid of Sea Kings because it can be both hard and soft. Even if it is eaten by a Sea Kings, digesting it will not be an easy task.

It had been eaten by Sea Kings here before. However, it soon emerged unharmed. This was because it had transformed into a demon and caused trouble inside the Sea Kings' stomachs, Sea Kings eventually became unbearable and vomited it out.

Therefore, it wasn't afraid of the Sea Kings at all, because it had a way to deal with them.

However, it's a different story for others. If an ordinary person were to enter this place, they would only face certain death; the Sea Kings would devour them completely.

"They are indeed very big, but I wonder if they taste good. If they do, then I'll go hunt down a Sea Kings," Fanxin said with a smile.

"I don't know, I've never tried it before. But, when you get stronger, maybe you can give it a try," Xiaojin said.

"Ah, we'll talk about it later. Let's go, let's find a place to stay inside first!" Fanxin Xin nodded, then without further hesitation, he put on his Flight Armor, picked up Langyue, and flew into the Calm Belt.

The giant air wolf immediately soared into the sky, closely following Fanxin. The two water wolves, on the other hand, transformed into a puddle of water and merged into the sea.

Fanxin flew for a long time before finally finding a very large island. He then landed on the island.

Ren Fang and the others also emerged from the giant air wolf.

"This will be our base for a while. Ren Fang, use your abilities to build a house so we'll have a place to sleep," Fanxin said.

Ren Fang nodded, and then took the Little Black Cat to find a place to build a house.

Fanxin Xin was taking a walk on the beach with the Little Wolf Langyue.

"Fanxin, you deliberately came here, you wouldn't be thinking of using the Tower of Vicious Wolves, would you?" Langyue pondered for a moment, then looked at Fanxin and said.

Although being confronted by the navy and land forces is troublesome, they should be fine as long as they keep a low profile. However, Fanxin insisted on coming to such a remote place, which it didn't understand before. But now it seems to understand something.

Fanxin is likely preparing to control the Tower of Vicious Wolves and utilize its power, as he intends to fight against the Navy in the future. Without significant strength, he won't be able to defeat Akainu.

The Tower of Vicious Wolves is very powerful. If he controls Tower of Vicious Wolves, he will have the power to fight the Navy. At that point, even if he doesn't win, he won't lose his life.

However, the Tower of Vicious Wolves is not so easy to control, because the wolves inside are too ferocious. Once the wolves escape from the tower, who knows what kind of trouble they will cause. But this place is so remote, with only a few of them, that Fanxin doesn't need to worry about these things.
