Black Cat Pirates (2)

"Don't worry, there won't be any problem," Ren Fang said with a confident smile.

"That's good. I'll be going now." Fanxin nodded, and then without further hesitation, he wrapped Kaya in his coat, carried her out of the bedroom, and went to the roof of the villa.

Once he reached the top of the villa, he found a spot with a general view of the interior, dug a hole there, and then waited.

Below, Ren Fang had changed her clothes and lay down on the bed, covering her head with the blanket to rest. She had no choice but to do this, because her hair was black, while Kaya's hair was blonde, which was quite unique.

If she didn't cover her head, she would easily be exposed.

After everything was settled, Ren Fang lay there quietly waiting. Little Black, meanwhile, hid in a corner, providing Ren Fang with information about Kuro.

Everything is ready; all that's left is for Kuro to reveal her true colors.

On the rooftop.

Fanxin had already persuaded Kaya not to shout. Kaya was a sensible child; she realized she couldn't resist now, and shouting would be futile. So, she obediently stayed in Fanxin's arms and didn't do anything else.

Of course, she didn't resist because she saw that Fanxin didn't want to be a bad person. So, there was no need for her to do anything futile. She believed that Fanxin would definitely let her go afterward.

"What exactly are you showing me?" Kaya asked.

"Hehe, Kuro's true colors." Fanxin didn't hide anything and said it directly.

"Kuro's true colors? What do you mean by that?" Kaya asked, puzzled.

"Usopp came looking for you, didn't he?" Fanxin didn't answer directly, but asked instead. Kaya nodded, indicating that she had.

"Do you believe what he said?" Fanxin asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Kaya hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't believe it. I've lived with Kuro for three years, and I know him very well. He's definitely not that kind of person. Usopp must be mistaken. Hehe, Usopp always likes to lie, and this time, he must be lying to me too."

"Really? But I'm sorry to tell you something. He may have lied often before, but today, he absolutely didn't lie. What he said is true. Kuro is a pirate, and tomorrow morning, his men are going to attack the village." Fanxin said, "I was there too, but Usopp was worried about your safety. So, he ran here first. However, it seems he didn't manage to persuade you, and he even got injured in the end."

"Impossible, I don't believe it." Kaya shook her head and said. She still believed in Kuro, after all, Kuro had been with her for three years, and in those three years, Kuro had taken good care of her. She couldn't believe that the gentle and refined Kuro was a cold-blooded pirate.

"Heh, well then. It seems it's impossible for me to dissuade you now. So, let's watch a good show together! Whether it's true or not, we'll find out tonight." Fanxin shrugged helplessly upon hearing this. He knew this would be the outcome. However, it was within his expectations, so he wasn't surprised.

Kaya nodded slightly upon hearing this. She couldn't resist now, because she had no choice but to obey.

Time slips away quietly.

Kuro walked step by step toward the villa, his expression cold and indifferent, as if he were a monster without emotion.

He had his hands in his pockets and walked mechanically. Soon after, he arrived in front of the villa.

After pushing open the door and entering the villa, Kuro sat on the sofa, bored, without saying a word or doing anything.

He only made another move when a man walked over.

The man was short and thin, with a strange head and hair that looked like a sheep's head. He always had a gentle smile on his face, which showed that he was a mild-mannered person.

His name is Merry, and he is a servant in Kaya's household. Of course, his relationship with Kaya is more than just that of a servant. He and Kaya often discuss various issues, and he can be considered a mentor and friend to her!

Merry approached Kuro, greeted him, and handed Kuro a glasses case, saying, "This is from Miss Kaya. Take a look!"

"What did Kaya give me?" Kuro asked, frowning.

"Miss Kaya noticed that your glasses always slip down, and you have to push them up with your hands every time, which is too much trouble. So, she specially sent me out to sea to buy you a pair of glasses. They're custom-made to your size, so there won't be any problems. You can try them on," Merry said with a smile. "If you like them, Kaya will be very happy."

After saying that, Merry started cleaning the light bulbs. He was a servant, so these chores were his responsibility.

Kuro took the glasses case, opened it, took out the glasses inside, looked at them for a long time, then suddenly threw them on the ground, and coldly raised his foot, crushing them to pieces.

Hearing the noise, Merry looked towards Kuro and was stunned to see Kuro stepping on the glasses that the young lady had specially made for Kuro.

"Kuro Clow, how could you treat the glasses that Miss made for you like this?" Merry questioned. Although it was a question, Merry didn't yell or shout; clearly, he was a very cultured person.

"Heh, I don't need him anymore, do you know why?" Kuro said with a smile. His smile was terrifying, like the smile of a demon.

Merry was startled. He turned to run away because he felt that Kuro had changed and was no longer the gentle and refined Kuro he used to be.

However, before he could run a few steps, Kuro suddenly made his move. He had somehow put on a pair of gloves. His gloves were strange because each fingertip had a longsword attached to it. Although the swords were long, he wielded them with ease and skill.

He swung his right hand, slashing diagonally down Merry's back. Five longswords simultaneously sliced into Merry's back.

Merry was an ordinary person; how could he withstand such a heavy blow? He lay on the ground struggling for a long time before suddenly losing consciousness.

After doing all this, Kuro immediately went upstairs and soon arrived at Miss Kaya's room.

He approached step by step, finally placing five longswords at Ren Fang's neck. However, he did not make a move, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Inside the blankets, Ren Fang was ready for battle. However, she was puzzled that Kuro hadn't made a killing move. So, she didn't rush to attack.

Kuro remained in that position for a long time without changing it.

On the rooftop, Kaya stared in disbelief at everything that was happening inside, her eyes wide. If Fanxin hadn't covered Kaya's mouth, Kaya have definitely screamed.

"See? I didn't lie to you, did I? Usopp didn't deceive you!" Fanxin looked at the heartbroken Kaya and said, "You've lived under the same roof with him for three years, yet he still wanted to kill you. His blood is cold; he's practically a devil. And you're still protecting him? Aren't you just asking for death?"

Kaya looked at Fanxin with teary eyes, not knowing what to say.

She had initially refused to believe Fanxin Xin's words, but now that it was happening right before her eyes, she had no way to refute them.

"Let go of me..." Kaya struggled, making Fanxin remove his hand.

"Okay, I'll let go, but you can't get agitated or make a scene, understand? If Kuro finds out, he'll definitely go on a killing spree, and who knows how many people will die then." Fanxin nodded and said earnestly.

Kaya nodded, indicating that she understood.

Fanxin Xin immediately released Kaya's mouth. Kaya glanced down and asked, "What should I do?"

"Wait," Fanxin said.

"Wait? Wait for what?" Kaya asked, puzzled.

"Kuro has already summoned his pirate crew, and they'll arrive in this village tomorrow morning. Once they're here, it'll be time for us to make our move," Fanxin said. "We plan to annihilate Kuro and his pirate crew in one fell swoop."

"But what about Merry? He's injured. If we wait like this, he'll die," Kaya said anxiously.

"Don't worry, we won't let him die." Fanxin smiled and said, "Alright, you should get some rest now. I'll take care of Merry."

"Okay, thank you," Kaya nodded obediently.

"Hehe, it was nothing." Fanxin smiled, then let Kaya go to sleep. Kaya closed her eyes and quietly fell asleep.

Fanxin then released a Soul Clone to treat Merry's wounds, but he did not wake Merry up. He wanted to maintain the appearance of safety so that Kuro would not suspect anything.

If Kuro finds out, a battle will inevitably break out here. Their attack power is formidable; this house could easily be destroyed by them, which would be a huge loss.

After the Soul Clone treated Merry's wounds, it immediately returned to its own mind.

With nothing to do while sitting on the roof, Fanxin focused his mind on his brain and examined it. Fanxin discovered that most of his brain was occupied by the Blood King. However, the Blood King didn't say anything to him, but was gradually taking over his brain.

The Blood King was so cautious mainly because the Giant Dragon had told him some things about Fanxin. He was worried that there might be a trap, so he acted with extreme caution.

Fanxin glanced around but said nothing. He was already prepared to abandon this body. Therefore, no matter how much the Blood King tormented him inside, he wouldn't get angry.

"Hmph, no matter how much you struggle, you will ultimately lose." Fanxin sneered, ignoring the Blood King and returning her mind to her body.

Time flew by, and soon it was already past midnight.

However, to Fanxin's surprise, Kuro still didn't make a move against Ren Fang, and she wondered what he was thinking. After staying in Kaya's room for several hours, Kuro left.

He returned to the hall, sat on the sofa, and looked out the window at the night view. His face was serious, as if he were pondering something important.

After a long time, the sky slowly began to brighten.

Kuro glanced at his watch and realized that the appointed time had passed, but his pirate crew had not yet arrived, which greatly displeased him. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately got up, grabbed his weapon, and walked towards the sea.

He was very dissatisfied and was ready to teach those who disobeyed orders a good lesson.

Seeing that Kuro had left, Fanxin immediately woke Kaya up.

"Where is he?" Kaya asked, still half asleep.

"He's gone, he went to the beach. Alright, you're safe now. Go back and take care of Merry. I've treated his wounds. Eat some nutritious food and rest for a while, he should be fine," Fanxin said. With that, he jumped down from the roof and took Kaya back to her room.

Ren Fang got up, glanced at Fanxin, and said, "What's that guy thinking? He wanted to attack but didn't. I almost couldn't resist attacking him."

She was frustrated. Kuro had a knife to her neck, and she thought Kuro was about to attack. But then she noticed that Kuro hesitated.

Kuro stood beside her, not making a move, and she was starting to lose her patience. Only after Kuro left did she lower her guard.

"Sigh, who knows? Who knows what's going on in his head?" Fanxin shrugged helplessly and said, "Alright, let's go! Once Kuro is outside, things will be easier."

Outside, they don't need to worry about causing destruction; they can focus all their efforts on fighting.

"Okay, let's go!" Ren Fang nodded and followed Fanxin out of the villa.

Once they reached the outside of the villa, they ran quickly towards Kuro.

Kaya then began to take care of Merry, helping Merry to the sofa to rest. After hesitating for a moment, she put on a coat and went out. The direction she headed was exactly where Kuro had gone.

When Fanxin, Ren Fang, and the others arrived at the beach, the battle had already begun. They had come from a side path and hadn't followed Kuro. Because the Little Black Cat was monitoring them, Kuro was steadily approaching, so he didn't need to worry about Kuro running away; he only needed to wait on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Luffy are all fighting against Kuro's pirate crew. The two sides are locked in a fierce battle.

However, Straw Hat Luffy, that idiot, was just too stupid. After being tricked by the hypnotist Jango once, he actually fell for it again. He was hypnotized by Zango once more and fell fast asleep on the ground.

At this point, the battle situation was very unfavorable for Zoro and his crew, because besides the captain, how many capable people were there in the Black Cat Pirates?

Meanwhile, on Zoro's side, Luffy is hypnotized, and Nami and Usopp are just ordinary people—how could they possibly fight against those vicious pirates? Now, only Zoro can shoulder the burden. However, Zoro is being held back by the Nyaban Brothers and can't spare a moment to help others. The situation is extremely critical.
