MTL - I Formed The El Cat Investigation Team In Pirates

Chapter 24 The real “weakest sea”

"Brother Xie Wen..." Just when Xie Wen was about to get more information from Bacchus, Keli Meow reached out and tugged on his sleeve, "Keli Meow wants to go out and play."

Well, the cat thing is more important!

Xie Wen nodded without hesitation, then turned to Bacchus and said, "Sorry, can I accompany Keli to go for a walk on the deck? It shouldn't affect you, right?"

Bacchus was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand, "Of course it's no problem, as long as you don't disturb the helmsman and Mr. Cody."

 “Then let’s take our leave first.”

Xie Wen bowed slightly to him, then picked up Kelimiao in one hand and Sanji in the other, and walked outside.

After they walked out of the room for a while, Sanji saw that there were no other sailors nearby, and immediately shook Xie Wen's hand away, and then whispered with contempt: "Fortunately, Sister Keli just interrupted you, Otherwise, the big guy will become suspicious, meow.”

"Huh?" Xie Wen touched his nose and asked in a lowered voice, "Is my performance that obvious?"

“What are you talking about?” Sanji swung his tail, “You just asked that big guy directly where we are and what year it is, meow.”

 “Ah ha ha ha…” Xie Wen smiled dryly and scratched his head. He didn’t think Sanji was talking nonsense.

Before the time travel, he was the type who was not very sensitive to other people's emotions. After time travel, he lived alone on the island for several years. Although he was accompanied by El Cat, the cat's mind was not that complicated, so he It's natural that the current level of communication is worse.

“What are you talking about, meow? Why can’t Keli understand meow?”

Kelimiao glanced back and forth between Xie Wen and Sanji Miao curiously, her big eyes full of questions.

"Well...anyway, Keli, you have done a great job just now." Xie Wen kissed Keli on the face and explained.

"Is it Meow? Hehehe..." Keli Meow shook her ears, then hugged Xie Wen's neck and rubbed his chin with her head.

The two cats whispered to each other and came to the deck from the cabin. Xie Wen put down Keli in his arms and whispered: "You can play around here. Remember not to take out bombs or set fire to them."

"Kelly got it, meow!" the little puppet cheered, and then ran wildly on the deck, "meow hahahaha...what a big ship, meow!"

Kelimiao laughed energetically as she ran, and from time to time she would approach the working sailors and curiously ask them what they were doing.

 The sailors who were disturbed did not think she was making any noise. Instead, they all explained to Kelimiao in a soft voice.

 Sanji yawned while staying next to Xie Wen and shook his ears. He also imitated Keli's behavior and moved closer to the sailors. He even deliberately raised his voice...

Seeing Sanji Miao's completely unnatural behavior, Xie Wen shivered subconsciously, and goosebumps instantly appeared on his body.

Although he also knew that Sanji Meow was actually looking for information for him, Sanji Meow, who usually behaved very maturely and would switch to the form of a perverted cat from time to time, suddenly turned into a clip cat. This still felt inconsistent. A little too intense.

 “They are two really cute kittens.”

 A strange voice suddenly sounded behind Xie Wen.

Xie Wen turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing an elegant dress standing there.

 The middle-aged man is slightly chubby, has a Maori Kogoro-style mustache, wears a dark round hat on his head, and looks very kind-hearted.

 “Mr. Cody?”

"It's me." The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, walked to Xie Wen's side, straightened his expression, pointed to Kelimiao who was having fun on the deck, and reminded: "The fur tribe is very valuable in the underground world. Especially for such cute fur-tribes, even if some slave traders don’t know fur-tribes, they won’t let go of such high-quality products easily. For your safety, it’s best to let them pretend to be ordinary cats.”

It seems that Bacchus did not lie. Mr. Cody is really a good man...

Xie Wen would think so, in addition to the other party's proactive reminder, but also because the world of One Piece is quite "from the heart". Except for those characters who have undercover scenes, most of the bad guys have their own characteristics, but they all have the same characteristics. With the trait of "evil at first glance", but with a kind-hearted appearance like Mr. Cody, there is a high probability that he is a good person.

"Thank you for the reminder," Xie Wen first thanked the other party for his kindness, and then smiled confidently, "But my strength is not bad, I should be able to protect them." Although Xie Wen also thinks that Mr. Cody's method is the most foolproof. Yes, but considering the mood of the two cats, especially Kelimiao, it was impossible for him to do so.

Not to mention that "high-end goods" like Haki are rarer than devil fruits outside the Grand Line. It can be said that except for the Beihai Sea where the Don Quixote family and Germa 66 exist, in the other three sea areas, as long as Xie Wen Unless you are particularly desperate or unlucky, you will basically not encounter any danger.

And in his impression, apart from Shanks, there seemed to be no powerful characters in Xihai. Even Shanks was not actually a real Xihai person, but a descendant of the Tianlong people who lived here.

 It can be said that the West Sea is the “weakest sea” in the true sense.

Seeing Xie Wen's "shameless" appearance, Cody couldn't help but frown.

 There is no way, Xie Wen, who is obviously still a young man, and Ellu Cat's cute appearance are too confusing.

“Don’t think I’m being alarmist,” the good old man advised again: “The paper town we are about to land in has several gangsters entrenched there, and the one with the highest bounty among them even exceeds 10 million!”

 “Uh…ten million…that’s really…awesome…”

Having become accustomed to the billions and billions of bounties in the later stages of the comics, Xie Wen talks about being awesome, but anyone who is not blind can see the indifference on his face.

But it is indeed the "weakest East China Sea". When Luffy went to sea, the highest bounty in East China Sea seemed to be only 20 million, while the bounty for gang members in any town in West China was tens of millions.

Speaking of gangsters, among the supernovas of Luffy's generation, there seems to be a pirate based on the Italian mafia Al Capone. Could it be that he was also born in the West Sea?

Xie Wen recalled for a moment that the other party seemed to be named Capone. He ate a Fortress Fruit and could put crew members and weapons into his body. To put it bluntly, it was a personal dimensional backpack. As expected, he would not have mastered the Haki when he arrived at the Chambord Islands, so...

 It’s nothing to worry about!

Seeing that Xie Wen was only serious for a moment, Cody immediately returned to his nonchalant look and shook his head helplessly, "That's all..."

Young people just don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is.

He didn't plan to persuade him anymore. After all, it was just the first time for the two of them to meet, and Cody, who was also well-informed, knew very well that young people like Xie Wen could not make them realize their mistakes with words alone. It may arouse their rebellious spirit.

However, as a well-known good old man in this area, Cody will not leave Xie Wen completely alone, not to mention that he really likes the two innocent and cute fur cats and does not want them to suffer any misfortune.

 Let Bacchus take care of them a little, and let the young people suffer a little loss...

Xie Wen didn’t know that Cody, a good old man, had planned to send someone to protect him secretly. Seeing that he didn’t speak, Xie Wen had no intention of continuing the conversation and turned his attention back to his cat.

Mr. Cody, who had already made his decision, silently turned around and left, going to find Bacchus to discuss taking care of Xie Wen and his party.

 …

I have to say that the cute cat is talented at gathering information. After Kelimiao got tired of playing, Sanji basically asked for all the information he could get.

It's just a pity that most of the information is only related to Mr. Cody and the few islands where he often does business, and is of little use to Xie Wen.

There are only two pieces of information that really concern Xie Wen -

O'Hara was destroyed more than ten years ago, which means Robin is now in his twenties. He may have entered the Grand Line and made a living under the hands of the Sand Crocodile, but the details are far from the plot. There are still a few years left in the beginning, and Xie Wen still doesn’t know.

 Another news is that two years ago, a security officer nicknamed "Devil Sheriff" was expelled from Xihai because of excessive violence.

 …So it turns out that Lafayette is also from the West Sea? !

Although this information surprised Xie Wen, he didn't take it too seriously...

It's hard to say what Lafayette's strength is at this time, not to mention that he has been driven out of the West Sea and is now estimated to have entered the Grand Line.

Tsk...we still have to continue collecting intelligence.

Xie Wen gently stroked the two cats lying on his body and gradually fell into sleep.
