"You're looking quite spirited, Roger!" Whitebeard said with a smile, holding his naginata and looking at Roger across from him.
"Wow~~ It's been ages since we last met, Newgate! I've been trying to find you for a long while!" Roger replied with a smile as well.
"Oh? Looking for me?" Whitebeard was taken aback and looked at Roger in surprise.
"That's right, but let's talk about that later. Now..." Roger gave a faint smile and looked at Whitebeard.
"Hand over your treasures first!" The two said in unison.
"Gurarararara..."
"Wa hahahaha..."
After saying that, both of them burst into laughter at the same time.
"Then... Men... Charge!" Whitebeard waved his naginata and shouted loudly.
"Hehe... Since that's the case, we won't be polite. Rob all their treasures!" Roger brandished his long sword and laughed heartily.
"Vista! Have you kept my dagger well?" Fang Yi shouted with a laugh as he sent an arrow flying towards the enemy.
"Hehe... That thing is mine now!" Vista blocked Fang Yi's arrow with his twin swords.
"Um..." But the moment he blocked the arrow, his brows immediately furrowed. He felt as though... he'd been shot by an arrow!
He knew it was one of Fang Yi's abilities, but compared to last time, the pain of being shot by an arrow was much stronger.
Although it wouldn't render him unable to fight, if he kept getting hit by these arrows, he estimated that he would be defeated before he even got close to Fang Yi.
Seeing Vista frown, Fang Yi didn't even need to look at the system prompt to know that the opponent had triggered the [Precision] skill.
After the [Precision] skill reached its maximum level, there was a 50% chance of it being triggered, which was quite easy.
"This guy..." Looking at Fang Yi's smile, Vista couldn't help but smile bitterly. Originally, he thought that he, Marco, and the others had made great progress. The next time they ran into Fang Yi, maybe even Marco could take him down easily.
But he didn't expect that Fang Yi's progress would be so astonishing. He even had a faint feeling that he was no match for the other party at all.
"Fang Yi, you're up against me!" At this moment, Marco in his Phoenix form swooped down directly and attacked Fang Yi.
But Fang Yi wasn't panicked at all. Without even giving an order, Wangzai directly took him out of Marco's attack range.
When Marco continued to look for trouble with Fang Yi, he was stopped by Shanks.
"Hey~ Red - haired kid, get out of my way!" Marco frowned and shouted at Shanks.
"Sorry, Brother Yi wants to get his dagger back now, so I'll have to play with you!" Shanks said with a gentle smile.
"Is that so? Then I'll deal with you first!" Marco spread his wings, flew into the air, and then swooped down towards Shanks again.
With Shanks' help, Fang Yi shifted his focus back to Vista. Vista had also seized the chance to get closer to Fang Yi and launched two Slash attacks at him.
"This kind of attack doesn't work on me anymore! Vista!" Fang Yi said with a smile.
Thanks to Wangzai, Fang Yi, who was riding on it, didn't have to worry about defense or movement at all.
Seeing Fang Yi moving quickly, Vista could only force a bitter smile and had no better solution. Although his speed was not slower than Wangzai's, with Fang Yi's bow and arrow interference, he simply couldn't catch up with Wangzai's moving speed.
Fortunately, this wasn't a one - on - one fight between the two. Not far from here, Jozu saw Vista at a disadvantage. He immediately activated his ability and rammed towards Fang Yi.
"Shine · Rush!"
Noticing a glowing figure, Fang Yi immediately patted Wangzai's head. Wangzai also sensed the danger and chose to flee at the first moment. However, they were too close to Jozu and it was already a bit too late.
"Hey! Sniper, stay at the back and stop getting in the way, will ya?" Barrett didn't know when he appeared and directly blocked in front of Fang Yi, stopping Jozu, who had turned into diamond.
The battle was extremely fierce. It lasted until nightfall before both sides stopped and chose to rest.
But early the next morning, without anyone's reminder, the battle started again. Whether it was the crew of the Roger Pirates or the Whitebeard Pirates, they all had injuries. However, the injuries were not serious. Those who truly lost their fighting ability would be sent aside by their companions to rest.
"Shanks, Buggy!" After the battle started the next day, Fang Yi said to Shanks and Buggy beside him, "See that guy wearing a hat?"
"Huh?" The two looked in the direction Fang Yi pointed. They saw an ordinary - looking guy who didn't seem like a powerful character, fighting with a long knife.
"What's up? Brother Yi!" Shanks looked at Fang Yi puzzledly and asked.
"That guy is not simple! Be careful of him!" Fang Yi said softly.
"Eh? That ordinary - looking kid?" Buggy asked in surprise.
"Right. Whenever I aim at him, he hides. Whether it's using his companions' bodies or something else, in short... once I aim at him, he disappears from my sight!" Fang Yi nodded and said.
"Using his companions?" Shanks looked at Fang Yi in surprise and asked in disbelief.
The Whitebeard Pirates were different from ordinary pirates. They had dealt with them before, so they knew what kind of team the other pirate crew was. It was basically impossible for a guy who used his companions to be on their ship!
Whitebeard was very strict in selecting his crew. It wasn't just about having strength to get on his ship.
"Alright, that's their business. Let's not butt in and just focus on ourselves. If we win this battle, the captain will get closer to his dream. So... this time, we must defeat them no matter what! Let's go!" Fang Yi said firmly.
"Okay!" Shanks and Buggy nodded at the same time and said.
The battle raged on for another whole day. When the truce came at night, the number of the wounded had increased. Even Fang Yi and Wangzai had bandages wrapped around their bodies.
This is when the advantage of having a strong constitution became apparent. Although Fang Yi was more powerful in combat, his current combat ability was less than half of his usual level. His speed of drawing the bow had also significantly decreased. In this regard, even Buggy could outperform Fang Yi.
Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh that the greatest advantage of characters from the second dimension was probably their near-immortal constitutions.
As for powerful beings like Barrett and Jozu with tough constitutions, Fang Yi estimated that they would be fine even if the battle continued for another three days, as long as they weren't overwhelmed by the enemy.
"Yo, Xiaoyi, you good?" Jabba came to Fang Yi's side and asked with a smile.
If it weren't for everyone's care today and Fang Yi's retreating a bit, he would probably have been rendered unable to fight by Marco in the afternoon.
There was nothing he could do about it. Marco's healing ability seemed to counter his. When Marco was hit with Precision by Fang Yi's skills, he'd get injured, but his healing ability would quickly heal him. Other than the pain from the hit, he was okay.
By the third day, Fang Yi finally persevered. He knew his ability was restricted by Marco, so he left Marco to Shanks and the others. Instead, he beat the future Blackbeard, Teach, into a coma, unable to take care of himself. It was as if he was avenging Whitebeard in advance.
On the fourth day, the battle finally stopped, and a banquet was held instead. Most of the crew members couldn't hold on anymore, except for a limited number of people. The Whitebeard Pirates only had a few future Captains and Whitebeard himself left.
To Fang Yi's surprise, Buggy also managed to hold out until the end.
"Hey, this wine of yours is awesome! Gimme some, will ya?"
"This piece of clothing is nice! Where did you get it? I'll trade for it!"
"Hold on, hold on. Your stuff is only worth three crates of dried meat for me!"
"Hey... You guys are taking too much food. We're supposed to do an equal - value exchange here!"
Early in the morning on the fourth day, the original battlefield in the middle of the island turned into a flea market. Members of the two pirate crews were trading there.
"It was supposed to be a fight for loot, but now it's like we're giving each other gifts!" Rayleigh beside them said, full of annoyance.
"What? You don't believe it? You know, my magical fishing bait can even attract Sea Kings. I'm only taking it out because you're from the Whitebeard Pirates!" Fang Yi was surrounded by members of the Whitebeard Pirates because he took out his magical fishing bait.
Since he had quite a few lottery tickets usually, he had also drawn a lot of daily necessities. For the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, the things Fang Yi had were quite novel.
"Eh? Just a coincidence, right? Can such a small thing attract Sea Kings? I don't believe it!" Although Marco didn't look convinced at all, his eyes were always fixed on the magical fishing bait in Fang Yi's hand.
Because he had just heard that Fang Yi's magic bait was quite amazing. As long as one used it, it would definitely attract something. As for what would be attracted in the end, it all depended on the user's luck.
"If you don't believe it, then don't exchange with me!" Fang Yi wasn't going to be deceived. The other guy's words were just an attempt to drive down the price.
Hearing Fang Yi's words, Marco couldn't help rolling his eyes. This guy was so stubborn. This kind of exchange was quite informal, almost like a gift - exchange. But Fang Yi was asking for a box of Gin. It was like robbery.
As for the function of the magic bait, although he didn't fully believe it, he also believed that Fang Yi wouldn't lie. It must be somewhat useful.
