Fanxin encountered Dragon and the Revolutionary Army, then returned to Wolf Valley before taking Langyue into the forest for intensive combat training. The chapter ended with Fanxin surrounded by a growing horde of furious beasts.

Fanxin learned that the golden-furred Martial Monkeys trained their bodies and could help him unlock his potential and master Haki, but gaining access to their secret techniques required defeating an adult monkey. After Li Kecheng set Fanxin’s broken leg, Fanxin went to recover in medicinal liquid while Li Kecheng was relieved that the monkeys would train him.

• The Martial Monkeys charged at Fanxin and Langyue, and Fanxin fired Diamond Spikes in every direction except where Langyue stood.

• Fanxin sent Langyue away and fought the golden monkeys, but their agility let them evade his attacks and wear him down.

• The parrot took Fanxin to a blood-red medicinal pool and explained that its ingredients, including blood from Devil Fruit users, could strengthen his body and possibly grant him some of their abilities.

Fanxin soaked in the Martial Monkeys’ medicinal pool, recovered from his injuries, and learned that his training would focus on developing his body and controlling his awakened Haki. The parrot explained that Fanxin was the destined person the Martial Monkeys had chosen to train, then asked what level his Haki had reached.

• The monkeys tossed the badly beaten Langyue into the pool, and Fanxin later told Langyue to submerge their head so the medicine could heal it.
• A parrot told Fanxin that his training would begin the next day: he had to defeat a giant elephant without using Diamond Spikes, which consumed his body and hindered his progress.

Fanxin began training in the forest, where he had to fight a medicinally strengthened elephant while dodging Martial Monkeys to awaken his Haki. Badly injured after failing to land a blow, he learned to delay his dodges and try to sense Haki; meanwhile, Langyue said the parrot had restricted how many wolves he could create.

• Fanxin followed the parrot to a clearing, where it ordered him to defeat a medicinally strengthened elephant barehanded while dodging the Martial Monkeys’ attacks.
• Fanxin fought the elephant and tried to find a weakness, but the parrot explained that the medicinal liquid had made its whole body tough and that he had to overpower it directly.
• The Martial Monkeys repeatedly interrupted Fanxin and beat him, while he spent four hours dodging and failed to injure the elephant.
• The parrot told Fanxin to delay his dodges and try to sense Haki, explaining that avoiding attacks too early left him no chance to strike.
• Fanxin went to the medicinal pool to recover and asked Langyue about his training; Langyue said the parrot had limited him to creating three small wolves instead of giant ones.

Fanxin and Langyue followed the parrot and monkey's training advice, then went into the forest to practice against ferocious beasts. Fanxin resolved to abandon Diamond Spikes after discovering that his Diamond Armor had grown thicker, and he continued training with a tiger until it collapsed from exhaustion.

• Fanxin and Langyue soaked in the medicinal pool, then agreed to hunt ferocious beasts for food and practice their moves.

• Fanxin fought the beasts again, using a diamond fist to knock down a venomous snake before evading the others and separating the tiger from the group.
• Fanxin slowly dodged the tiger's attacks with his eyes closed for three hours, and the exhausted tiger finally stopped fighting.

Fanxin continued training with the Martial Monkeys for five months, learning to dodge their attacks while defeating the elephant and strengthening his body in medicinal liquid. After he completed the task, the parrot revealed that he was ready to learn the monkeys’ secret art and draw out his Conqueror’s Haki, but a Haki-empowered punch shattered his Diamond Armor and showed him how vulnerable he remained.

• Fanxin subdued the big tiger as a sparring partner, treated its injuries in the medicinal pool, and shared roasted leopard meat with Langyue, the parrots, and the monkeys.

After hearing that Ace had been captured by Blackbeard, Fanxin stayed focused on training and arrived at a cave to begin the secret technique under the guidance of an old white monkey.

• The parrot explained that the secret technique would draw out Fanxin’s Haki by using another person’s, but would cost him ten years of his lifespan; Fanxin accepted after explaining that his beast body could live for centuries.
• Fanxin noticed a faint crescent mark on Langyue’s forehead, and Langyue awakened an ability that filled the area with darkness and cold, with higher levels said to block Haki.
• Fanxin and Langyue soaked in medicinal liquid, shared dinner with the parrot and monkeys, then asked Xiao Ning for news from outside.
• Xiao Ning told Fanxin that Bingfeng had defeated a Navy force and that Blackbeard had captured Ace and planned to trade him to the Navy for a Shichibukai position; Fanxin decided he was not strong enough to rescue Ace.
• The next morning, Fanxin followed the parrot to a cave, where dozens of monkeys awaited him and an old white monkey opened its sharp eyes to greet his arrival.

Fanxin gave the black monkey a hundred years of his lifespan in exchange for having Haki implanted in his body, which he could draw out through prolonged fighting. He planned to return after living out his life with Ren Fang, then joined the waiting monkeys to begin training.

• The white monkey examined Fanxin and asked for a hundred years of his life, explaining that Fanxin’s Soul Clan soul and Diamond Beast body gave him an exceptionally long lifespan.
• Fanxin agreed to the exchange, and the monkey used its ability to absorb his life essence while he rested.
• The monkey revealed that it had given Fanxin its Haki, which Fanxin could gradually draw out by fighting; the monkey needed to stay alive until its tribe produced a successor with Conqueror’s Haki.
• Fanxin told the monkey he would return after turning a hundred and give it the rest of his life after accompanying Ren Fang to the end of hers.
• The parrot explained that cultivators had previously been knocked unconscious during the secret technique, and Fanxin set off to fight the monkeys and cultivate his own Haki.

Fanxin spent five months training until he gained control of his own Conqueror's Haki, then left the hidden training grounds with Langyue. Back in Wolf Valley, he learned that the Whitebeard Pirates were about to fight Marine Headquarters and the Shichibukai, and set out for the battle while Senior Li Kecheng postponed their promised duel.

• Fanxin fought the Martial Monkeys using Haki borrowed from the white monkey, then learned that he could leave only after mastering Conqueror's Haki.

Fanxin and Ren Fang met Zoro on Sabaody, then helped him reach a slave auction where Nami and the others were trying to rescue their captured mermaid crewmate. Fanxin urged them to abandon bidding and prepare to seize her from the Celestial Dragons, offering his help despite Nami’s fear that a Marine Admiral would intervene.

• Fanxin and Ren Fang spotted Zoro, greeted him, and Fanxin declared that he intended to claim the One Piece and challenge Luffy for the title of Pirate King.

• Fanxin warned that the Celestial Dragons would claim the mermaid and advised the crew to seize her instead of bidding, while Nami worried that their actions would bring a Marine Admiral.

• Fanxin left the Straw Hat Pirates to decide whether to stand against the Celestial Dragons and went to watch the auction with Ren Fang.
• Fanxin spotted Trafalgar Law, whose Op-Op Fruit ability he wanted to acquire, and sat beside him despite Law’s crew protesting.

• Fanxin and Ren Fang watched people being sold at auction, and Fanxin decided not to attack the wealthy buyers because they were ordinary people.

• Fanxin told Ren Fang that Straw Hat Luffy would disrupt the auction to save his friend, while the auction sold slaves to wealthy bidders.
