Complete Victory (2)

He went to find Luffy to have a proper talk with Luffy, to travel with them temporarily, and to disembark after reaching his destination.

He had made up his mind; this time, no matter the cost, he would board the Straw Hat Boy's ship. He didn't want to search for a navigator anymore. Where would he find one on the vast ocean? He had no goal; finding one would be far too difficult.

Since he couldn't find it, he decided not to look anymore; there was one readily available here, so he would just use it.

Straw Hat Boy and his group were currently inside a villa, owned by the wealthiest person in the entire village. The owner of the house was named Kaya.

She had long, beautiful blonde hair and fair skin, as white as jade. Her gentle and kind nature, combined with her stunning appearance, made her very popular. However, she was in poor health, somewhat frail, and rarely went out, preferring to stay in her villa.

That's why she had very few friends her own age, only one: Usopp from the same village.

Although she and Usopp have only known each other for a little over a year, they get along very well and refer to each other as friends. When Luffy mentioned wanting a large ship from the owner of this villa, Usopp was quite angry, precisely because he wouldn't allow anyone to covet Kaya.

Fanxin arrived at the villa with the Little Black Cat and was about to knock on the door when he suddenly heard a loud commotion inside, as if people were arguing. He immediately stopped knocking, climbed over the wall, and went inside.

Upon arriving at the scene, Fanxin found Usopp arguing with a man in a black suit and glasses. Luffy and the others were watching the scene unfold, while Kaya, the owner of the villa, was trying to persuade the two to stop arguing. However, her efforts were largely ineffective; Usopp and the man in the suit were locked in a fierce and unstoppable argument.

From their conversation, Fanxin learned the reason for the argument. The man in the black suit and glasses was the villa's butler, and Usopp had angered the butler by sneaking into the villa without permission. The butler said some unpleasant things that Usopp found unacceptable, and thus, the two began arguing.

Fanxin listened for a while, but then ignored it, because it was no longer his business and he had no right to interfere.

He went straight to Straw Hat Luffy, patted Luffy on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, Straw Hat Boy, do you have a moment? I need to discuss something with you."

"What is it?" Straw Hat Luffy asked, puzzled. Zoro and Nami also looked over, wanting to know what Fanxin wanted to discuss.

"I'm planning to sit on your boat temporarily, and then disembark once I reach my destination. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Fanxin didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "Of course, I won't sit for free; there will definitely be payment."

"Don't you have your own ship? Why do you want to be our ship?" Straw Hat Luffy asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, I do have a ship, but I don't have a navigator!" Fanxin said helplessly after glancing at Nami.

"Oh, I see. But I don't have a big ship right now, only two small boats. There's no way they can hold so many people," Straw Hat Luffy said helplessly. He came here to ask the owner of this villa for a big ship. However, it seems his plan is going to fall through, because the villa's butler is about to kick them out.

"It's alright if we don't have one for now. You have boats, and we have boats too. We can just sit separately for the time being. Once we get a bigger boat, we can all get on the same boat," Fanxin said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem." Straw Hat Luffy nodded in agreement.

"That's great." Fanxin was relieved to hear that Straw Hat Luffy had agreed.

"Hey, Luffy, is this alright? Will anything happen?" Zoro frowned and asked hesitantly. He felt uneasy about letting a stranger onto the ship so easily, because he didn't know much about Fanxin.

"Yeah, Luffy, you're being too casual," Nami said hesitantly.

"It should be fine, he doesn't seem like a bad guy," said Straw Hat Luffy.

"Tch, how could you possibly tell a good person from a bad one!" Nami snapped.

"But I already promised," Straw Hat Luffy said.

"Don't you know how to refuse?" Nami was a little annoyed. This Luffy really was a simpleton; he couldn't even be flexible.

Fanxin their endless argument, Fan Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Luffy, I have lots of delicious food here, do you want some?"

"Really? I want it, I want it, give it to me quickly!" Upon hearing this, Straw Hat Luffy's eyes lit up as if he had seen a priceless treasure. He opened his mouth wide, drooling, and looked at Fanxin with anticipation.

"Then do you agree to let me ride on your boat?" Fanxin asked with a smile.

"Agreed, agreed." Straw Hat Luffy seemed to have no resistance to food. Upon hearing that there was something to eat, he immediately nodded in agreement without even thinking about it.

"Hehe, here you go right away," Fanxin winked at the Little Black Cat, signaling it to take the food from the Mechanical Space to Straw Hat Luffy. This food was saved from their ship and had been kept fresh there.

The Little Black Cat nodded without hesitation and immediately took out a large bag of food from its Mechanical Space and tossed it to Straw Hat Luffy. Straw Hat Luffy caught it and, without any ceremony, began to devour it, his eating manner best described as wolfing it down.

Fanxin saw that Zoro and Nami looked unhappy, and it was clear that the two of them did not agree with Luffy's decision.

Fanxin knew that if too many people opposed him, it might be difficult for him to board the ship. He rolled his eyes, looked at Nami, and said, "Hey, little girl, do you want gold and silver treasures?"

He had a deep impression of Nami because the woman immediately asked him for gold and silver treasures, and quite a lot of them at that. Therefore, he was certain that this woman had a particular fondness for treasure. And he happened to have a lot of treasure on him, looted from pirate ships, so giving some to this woman wouldn't be a big deal.

He chose Nami because he found her Nami to deal with than Zoro. This woman liked treasure, which he could easily satisfy. As for what Zoro liked, he had no idea.

"I like it! Do you have one?" Nami's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and she looked at Fanxin with anticipation.

"Of course there is, but you must promise to let me sit on the ship temporarily, otherwise, the treasure..." Fanxin Xin nodded and looked at Nami with a smile.

He was telling Nami that she could have the treasure, but only if she agreed to his conditions; otherwise, he wouldn't give her the gold and silver.

"Okay, no problem." Nami seemed to have no resistance to the treasure at all. Seeing that Fanxin had treasure to give him, she immediately agreed.

"You said it yourself." Fanxin smiled, then immediately had the Little Black Cat bring out a large bag of gold and silver treasures, worth about two million, and threw it in front of Nami.

"Of course." Nami opened the bag and was overjoyed to see the glittering gold inside; she almost buried her head in the treasure.

"Hey, you two, how could you agree to him so easily?" Zoro was displeased when he saw Luffy and Nami being captured, and he shouted.

"Stop talking nonsense," Fanxin said bluntly.

"Why shouldn't I talk nonsense? That's our ship!" Zoro shouted.

"Two to one, I won, you lost, that's it," Fanxin chuckled and said.

"That's right, Zoro, you lost," Straw Hat Luffy said. Then, Nami, almost as if possessed, chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Zoro was so enraged he nearly exploded. After a moment of fury, he fell silent. What could he do when his own men were siding with the enemy?

"Alright, make yourselves at home. We're going to buy food. Let us know when you leave." Fanxin didn't linger, because the butler was trying to kick them out. Although they weren't afraid of the butler, he was just an ordinary person, and they couldn't be violent, so they had no choice but to leave.

After leaving the villa, Fanxin went to find Ren Fang. After finding Ren Fang, he told Ren Fang the news, and Ren Fang breathed a sigh of relief. This would save them a lot of trouble.

After Ren Fang finished buying the food, she and Fanxin headed towards the beach. They planned to wait at the place where Straw Hat Luffy had parked their boat, making it impossible for them to escape.

"Oh, you two are here too!" Fanxin had just reached the edge of the cliff and was about to go down when he suddenly saw Usopp and Straw Hat Luffy sitting on the edge, talking about something. He immediately took Ren Fang over and sat down next to Usopp.

"Yeah, I came here to clear my head." Usopp nodded. He was in a bad mood because he had just been scolded by the butler. The butler's words were very harsh and made him feel uncomfortable.

"I feel bad, but what's the big deal? Just do your own thing and let others talk!" Fanxin said. "That's just the kind of person I am. If you care too much, you'll live a very tiring life."

"I know, but I just can't help thinking about it," Usopp said.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that. It's your own problem," Fanxin said helplessly.

"Hey, go become a pirate! Your father's a pirate, and you idolize him. Why don't you leave here and go out to this boundless ocean?" Fanxin said. "Living in your own lies, you'll lose yourself."

"Me... a pirate?" Usopp was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Yes, didn't you say you were Captain Usopp? Since you have this dream, why not go and make it a reality?" Fanxin said. "If you don't take that step, you'll always just be a dreamer. In that case, the butler wasn't wrong to scold you, was he?"

"I..." Upon hearing this, Usopp was speechless, because he felt that Fanxin's words made sense.

"Alright, how you decide is your business. Since you have a dream, you can't just keep thinking about it; you need to take concrete action." Fanxin said, "A dream without action is just wishful thinking, not a dream at all, understand?"

Having said that, Fanxin stopped paying attention to Usopp. He had said what he needed to say, and there was no need to keep dawdling. Usopp wasn't a child; he was capable of thinking things through.

He stood up, preparing to go to the seaside, because he wanted to put the food he had just bought on the boat to keep it fresh.

He stood up, just about to leave. Suddenly, he saw two figures below the cliff. He didn't recognize one of them, but he could see the other one clearly—it was the butler who had argued with Usopp earlier.

Fanxin was somewhat puzzled. Why was the butler here, whispering to a strange man?

He nudged Usopp, gesturing for him to look down. Usopp hesitated for a moment, then went to the edge of the cliff and looked down. He froze, wondering what the butler was doing there.

"Don't speak yet, listen to what they have to say." Fanxin waved to Usopp and Luffy, signaling them to be quiet and listen carefully to the conversation between the butler and the strange man.

The two nodded and listened attentively.

At the bottom of the cliff, a butler in a suit led a man in a blue suit and glasses with red heart-shaped lenses to the side and asked, "Jango, how are the preparations going?"

"Captain Kuro, the brothers are all ready and waiting for your order. Just give the order, and they'll come here and attack the village. Then your objective will be achieved," said the man with the red heart-shaped glasses.

The man named Jango addressed the butler Kuro as captain. From his few words, it can be inferred that the butler is not just a butler; he also has another identity: the captain of a pirate crew.

Yes, this butler is on a pirate crew called the Black Cat Pirates. He is the captain, and this man named Jango is the first mate.

Kuro abandoned his captaincy and went into hiding as a butler in Kaya's house with the aim of seizing Kaya's fortune and living a peaceful life there. Since the Black Cat Pirates made a name for themselves, they have been constantly hunted by the Navy and have never had a day of peace.

Kuro couldn't stand the constant threat of being hunted, so he wanted to live an ordinary life. However, he was wanted by the Navy with a bounty of sixteen million gold coins. Living a normal life was simply out of the question.

Therefore, he and his pirate crew devised a plan: to find someone who looked similar to him and have them die in his place. In this way, the Navy would know that Captain Kuro was dead and would stop hunting him down.

He took advantage of the situation to come to the village, and with his severely injured body, he gained the sympathy of Kaya's father and eventually moved into Kaya's house. Over three years, he gained Kaya's trust and the trust of the villagers.

Now, the time is ripe, and he's not going to wait any longer. He plans to act soon, seize all of Kaya's assets, and then live a quiet life here.

If the villagers Kaya knew that this usually gentle butler was actually Kuro, the captain of the ruthless Black Cat Pirates, they would probably be terrified!

"Hehe, that's good. Tomorrow at daybreak, you bring your men over, attack the village, and storm Kaya's house. Then, use hypnosis to put Kaya to sleep and make her write a will, transferring all her assets to me. That will be perfect." Kuro habitually pushed up his glasses and said.

The reason he went to such lengths was because he didn't want others to suspect him of Kaya's death; otherwise, the navy would investigate, and he would be exposed.

He wanted to take everything from Kaya so he could live a peaceful life there for the rest of his days. If the navy discovered him, he would have to flee again. That was not the life he wanted, because he would rather go through the trouble than expose himself.

"Alright, let's do as the captain says! We'll definitely be there on time tomorrow." Jango and said. He is now the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, and he has been managing the crew since Kuro left.

"Yeah, don't be late. If you are, don't blame me for being impolite," Kuro grinned and said.

Upon hearing Jango immediately nodded and said, "Captain, don't worry, I definitely won't be late." As he spoke, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, because he was afraid of Captain Kuro. Captain Kuro was very strong, and they were no match for him. If Captain Kuro wanted to kill them, it would be an easy matter.

The reason they continued to obey Captain Kuro's orders even after he had been gone for three years was because Captain Kuro was incredibly powerful; if they disobeyed, they would only face certain death.

"Well, that's good." Captain Kuro nodded and turned to leave. Suddenly, a rock fell from the cliff and landed below, catching Kuro's attention. He looked up at the cliff and saw several people watching them.

Kuro's face immediately darkened, and he shouted, "What were you guys eavesdropping on up there?" He was very dissatisfied. He had thought that the place they had chosen was very safe, but now he realized that everything he and Jango had just said had been overheard.

"Heh, if you can do such a despicable thing, why can't we listen? Besides, we were already here; you two came here on your own, so it's not our fault!" Fanxin Xin shrugged indifferently and said.

Looking at the butler, he felt very uncomfortable. He had originally thought the man was an ordinary person, but he never expected him to be a heinous pirate. The fact that the man was going to lay a hand on a frail girl was intolerable to him.

"Hmph, even if you heard it, so what? My plan is inevitable, and you can't stop it." Kuro snorted and said.
