MTL - I Formed The El Cat Investigation Team In Pirates

Chapter 240 History Text

The next day, the news that Shah Crocodile, one of the King's Seven Warlords, secretly plotted to seize the government-joined countries was exposed and killed by the bounty hunter Blue Star who "accidentally passed by". With the latest issue of World... The announcement of the economic news spread throughout the sea.

 The newspaper described Crocodile's overall plan in detail, and attached several conclusive evidences, which made it impossible for the world government to reverse public opinion.

As for the King Shichibukai, he is a mercenary to the World Government. Now that Sand Crocodile is dead and has been caught, the World Government will naturally not waste resources to clear his name, but will act decisively. Instead of disowning the relationship and saying that he had no knowledge at all, it was Sand Crocodile who made the decision on its own, and commended Xie Wen for "justice" in the official newspaper...

  Basically, it is similar to the situation of the "temporary workers" who caused dissatisfaction among netizens before Xie Wen traveled through time, except that on Crocodile's side, the world government is probably really unaware of it.

The Guard Captain of the Kingdom of Alabasta, Ikarem, and the fifteen-year-old Princess Weiwei also immediately spoke to the people in the country, proving the authenticity of the news in the newspaper.

King Kobra, who they said was unable to show up due to illness, took Xie Wen and his party to the mausoleum where all the kings of the Kingdom of Alabasta rested.

With the sound of a mechanism, a lawn deep in the mausoleum slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading deep into the ground.

 “Wow…what a deep hole, meow!”

Kelimiao craned her neck to look at the endless stairs, and innocently said something that made Cobra's heart tremble—

“It would be fun to drop a bouncy bomb, meow~”

A group of people (cats) walked up a long staircase, passed through a huge underground palace, pushed open a stone door big enough for the giants to pass through, passed through a not too long corridor, and finally came to a hemisphere. shaped stone interior.

King Kobra introduced him to everyone, and never mentioned "Hades".

While Xie Wen comforted Kobra, he picked up Kelimiao, who was still looking down, and put it on his shoulders.

“This piece is the historical text that our Nephite family has guarded from generation to generation, but no one knows what is specifically recorded on it.”

 “Yes, yes, Keli is good, meow!”

Robin stepped forward and gently touched the words on the stone. Since she escaped from O'Hara when she was eight years old, she finally came into contact with ancient texts and historical texts again.

in addition…

"Don't worry, King Kobra, Keli is just talking, she is actually very well-behaved."

However, this is just to fool ordinary people who don't know much about this aspect. For example, the Four Emperors and other forces who have studied historical texts can guess a lot based on the World Government's wanted list and Robin's identity. Eight.

Cobra laughed twice, decisively skipped the topic of blowing up his ancestral grave, and led everyone (cats) down.

 The little puppet nodded its little head in agreement.

“You wouldn’t think that Crocodile went to such great lengths to set up a Baroque working society and play all kinds of conspiracies just for Alabasta, a country where more than 90% of it is desert, right?”

 “Wait! Can you read the text above?!”

 “This is…the historical text…”

There are no extraneous furnishings in the stone chamber. Apart from simple carvings on the walls and dome, there is only a huge square stone inscribed with ancient characters placed in the center of the stone chamber.

Xie Wen quite understands this point of Keli Miao. When he was a child, he and his friends would set off firecrackers during festivals. He and his friends also liked to throw firecrackers into various places with holes, including manhole covers in sewers...

 He doesn’t seem to know that Robin can read ancient texts?

Xie Wen thought about it carefully, and it seemed that when the world government wanted Robin, it did not say that she knew ancient writing. Even the wanted charges were "destroyed six warships" and "planning to destroy the world." "Survivors of Lazhong" completely failed to mention her ability to translate ancient texts.

Cobra was a little panicked now. He originally wanted to step forward to stop him, but considering the strength gap between the two sides, he retracted his outstretched legs.

Now that I think about it, their group of naughty kids didn’t get into trouble at the beginning, and they were really lucky.

Due to various considerations, whether it was Morgans or Kobra, Xie Wen concealed the fact that Crocodile was also looking for Hades while seeking the Kingdom of Alabasta, so Kobra had no idea about Xie Wen. They already know that this historical text is related to Pluto.

“Uh-huh…you better come with me…”

Xie Wen sneered and broke King Kobra's last illusion: "The ancient weapons are what he really wants, and the Kingdom of Alabasta is just incidental."

However, he quickly added: "It's just that unlike him, we don't have much interest in ancient weapons. Robin just wants to find out what happened in the missing hundred years."

 “O’Hara’s orphan…”

Cobra seemed to have remembered the origin of Nicole Robin only at this moment. He glanced at Xie Wen with a little suspicion, but said nothing more. Xie Wen didn't care about the other party's suspicion at all. He had already explained it anyway, and it didn't matter whether Cobra believed it or not.

As for whether Kobra will tell this matter...

Now that Robin is on board, he is already prepared to be exposed one day, but before that, Xie Wen will still "hide" Robin as much as possible.

 “Xie Wen, come and help me!”

Haiyuan Miao, who was squatting in the corner of the historical text, waved his paw towards Xie Wen.

The two scientific research cats, Haiyuan Meow and Meowrya, immediately joined in when Robin was reading the historical text. They seemed to want to break some pieces from this historical text and study it. , as a result, after struggling for a long time, I couldn't even scrape off any powder.

  In fact, Xie Wen is also very curious about the materials used in the historical text, because there was a common speculation before the time travel, that is, the stone used in the historical text is very strong and almost indestructible. The reason is that even the world government cannot be destroyed.

But if the stone is so hard, how did the ancestors of the Kozuki family leave writing on it in the first place? There are so many weird abilities in Devil Fruits, so if you really want to find a way to destroy them, it shouldn't be that difficult.

Even if they really can't be destroyed at any cost, the World Government can collect as many of them as possible and put them in the Celestial Dragon's treasury or among the flowers of Im.

 So, Xie Wen actually agrees with another guess, that is, the world government is too lazy to bother.

Although this kind of speculation makes the actions of the World Government seem somewhat contradictory and even stupid, are there still many illogical and stupid things in the pirate world?

 Xie Wen, who was complaining crazily in his heart, came to the side of the two cats, and then...

 Xie Wen took out his hunter's knife.

Even if the historical text of the Pirate World really has the property of being indestructible, Xie Wen's hunter's knife also has such properties. In this way, compared with the Pirate World and the Monster Hunter World, which side has more rules. A little more powerful.

 Wang the armed domineering force around the hunter's knife in his hand, Xie Wen slashed hard at the historical text.

 “锵!”

Xie Wen felt and inherited the experience of "playing the knife" in his memory for a long time.

I carefully looked at the history text and the knife in my hand...both were unscathed.

Tsk, why didn’t the hunters’ mining pickaxes come with them?

Xie Wen smacked his lips with regret, then held the hunter's knife and began to accumulate strength -

 Monster hunting flow·Fei Tian’s end (small knife version)!

 “锵——!!”

 This time, he finally cut a small gap in the historical text...

Sure enough, this thing is not indestructible, but its hardness is exaggerated, even much stronger than sea floor stone.

Xie Wen shook his numb arm, looked at the hunter's knife that was still intact in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction.

 Sure enough, my own golden finger is more powerful!

Then, at the request of Haiyuan Miao and Miao Erya, Xie Wen slashed several times on the historical text, but only knocked out a few crumbs the size of sand.

Cobra and Robin hesitated several times, but in the end neither of them spoke. After all, Xie Wen spent a long time and only cut off a few corners, and did not read the words recorded in the historical text. No damage was done.

After giving the two cats enough scraps for their research, Xie Wen rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly took out the hunter's manual...

 He ​​had overlooked one point before. As a "specialty" in the world of pirates that is as famous as Neptune and Devil Fruit, it is possible for the historical text to occupy an illustrated book.

Sure enough, the originally blank last page of the hunter's manual suddenly turned into a page called "Notebook". There were a total of thirty squares on the page, and each square was marked with a number. One of them The outer frame of square No. 4 is red, and the sixteenth square is lit.

 Xie Wen clicked on square No. 16 with his finger, and then the page switched to the content recorded in the historical text in front of him... It was still in ancient characters, and there was no translation.

It didn't matter to Xie Wen that he couldn't read the historical text, but after flipping through it for a long time, no summoning ticket fragments appeared. Moreover, Xie Wen vaguely remembered that the rewards of the handbook in the game seemed to be statues used to decorate his room. thing…

With his stingy style as a golden finger, Xie Wen would probably not have to think about the summoning ticket fragments. If he could give him a protective stone or a bead or something, Xie Wen would be grateful.
