Chapter 248 I, Blue Star, am not an idiot!
“Brother Xie Wen~ You’re back, meow!”
ˆ (=`=)
When Xie Wen returned to the Dudu Qianjin with a heavy heart, Kelimiao immediately swooped into his arms.
After digging into Xie Wen's body with his head for a while, the little puppet raised his head and asked with concern: "Uncle Cody didn't fight with you, did he? Keli can feel that he is actually a good person~"
"As expected of Keli, your feeling is really accurate." Xie Wen touched her little head, "Don't worry, we didn't fight. Uncle Cody just talked to me about something."
“Hey hehe~ That’s the best, meow~”
Kelimiao happily drilled Xie Wen with her head again and made a purring sound.
While Xie Wen was dealing with Keli Miao, the real captain Hua Mei Miao had already directed the other cats to drive the Dudu Qianjin out of the port. When the little puppet left Xie Wen's arms with satisfaction, he ran to find Meow. After Ya discussed the twelve ways to trigger a bomb, she walked over with Nicole Robin, who had already taken off her combat uniform.
“Admiral, does the CP agent named Cody have something to do with you? Did he discover Miss Robin’s whereabouts?”
Robin looked at Xie Wen nervously. During this period, she got along very happily with the cats in the investigation team, so now she was worried that Xie Wen would not be able to withstand the pressure and drive her away, but at the same time, she did not want to because She had put the cats in danger, so she was feeling very confused now.
“Uncle Cody knows that Robin is on our ship, but the CP organization doesn’t know yet…”
“So in the end, my efforts are meaningless?” She murmured, staring blankly at the ground.
Xie Wen immediately and honestly recounted the conversation between himself and Cody.
But then, she began to show confusion again, and after much hesitation, she said: "In that case, I'd better not act together with you... This way, when the world government is liquidated in the future, you won't be implicated. "
“What’s going on? Admiral, tell me quickly, meow!”
Xie Wen rolled his eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about? We were already prepared to be wanted by the world government before we knew about this. Have you underestimated our awareness?"
“That’s right!” Robin’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally came to his senses.
After listening to Xie Wen's retelling, Robin instantly collapsed to the ground as if his strength had been drained.
Then Robin saw Xie Wen nodded first, then shook his head...
On the other side, Hua Mei Miao directly turned Robin's idea into action. She picked up her own sword Cang Ming and used it to poke Xie Wen's thigh angrily... Of course, with the scabbard.
However, Hua Mei Meow patted her with her little paw, and reminded her with a slightly doubtful tone: "Isn't this a good thing, Meow? This means that for a long time, you don't have to worry about the World Government. I will target you especially, meow.”
This made her feel even more upset, and she wished she could grab Xie Wen by the collar immediately and ask him to speak clearly, so as not to torture herself by showing off.
“That’s right, Miss Robin, please don’t say this again in the future. We Ellu cats dare to face even ancient dragons, and the World Government and CP agents are nothing like us.” Hua Mei Meow also agreed.
Then she turned to Xie Wen and asked: "Admiral, did you agree to Mr. Cody's invitation?"
"No," Xie Wen shook his head and replied: "Actually, I'm quite inclined to agree, because then Robin won't need to hide like now, but..." The expression on Xie Wen's face changed a few times. , and then gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle Cody said that there is no rush to agree to the matter. He suggested that I discuss it with you first to see if there is anything missing. After we have discussed and made a decision, we can contact him again. Not too late."
Huamei Miao was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but giggle. After being glared at by Xie Wen several times, she suppressed the laughter in her heart, jumped on Xie Wen's shoulder and rubbed his cheek with her head. , said: "That Mr. Cody is indeed as good as Keli said, meow~"
Having been questioned by the "good old man", Cang Lanxing rolled his eyes wildly.
Then, Master Xiang Feihu said seriously: "Since Mr. Cody said this, it proves that he must have something that he cannot explain clearly, or he is suggesting that you can hang out with the World Government for a while."
"Is that so?" Xie Wen scratched his head, "Then why didn't he just say it? After all, he took the initiative to help conceal Robin's whereabouts, why did he have to make it so complicated?"
"Mr. Cody probably... also wants to observe my reaction." Robin, who had recovered from the blow, said: "Because according to my past style of treating my employer, no matter whether you will tell me or not, but in his case It seems that as long as I learn about this matter or notice all your concealments, there is a high probability that I will choose to 'betray' first, so even if you don't want to kick me out of the investigation team, it will be no good."
Robin smiled bitterly, "After all, I am the 'Son of the Devil'..."
Xie Wen glanced at Huamei Miao's expression. This smart cat had obviously thought of this, but she didn't say it out loud because she considered Robin's mood.
“Tsk! These agents are really more sinister than the last!”
Feeling that his IQ was a little behind, Cang Lanxing cursed angrily.
After cursing, he glanced at Nicole Robin suspiciously, "You're not really planning to 'rebellion', are you? That would make Nicole very sad."
This has to be guarded against, after all, this sister has a "criminal record".
"Of course not," Robin cried and laughed while wiping his tears: "I'm still waiting for you to become the Queen of the Shichibukai and protect me."
The situation Robin faced at this time was different from that of Luffy and the others in the comics. Xie Wen had received a promise from the World Government that he would not pursue the case for the time being, and his current whereabouts had not been exposed for the time being, so at least for a long time, she There is no need to worry that he and the cats will be implicated by him, and naturally they will not leave without saying a word.
As long as Xie Wen and the others can show that they are strong enough to protect her, she will not be tempted to play some **** plot of sacrificing herself to protect others.
After confirming that there was no problem on Robin's side, Xie Wen brought the topic back to the original issue—
“So, why did Uncle Cody ask me not to agree to the World Government’s invitation so quickly?”
"Probably... after letting them dry for a while, it would be better to raise conditions, meow?" Hua Mei Meow speculated after thinking for a while: "Because of Mr. Cody's help, the World Government actually does not know that Miss Robin is on our ship, so In their eyes, there won't be any problem even if you don't agree, Admiral, our situation is completely different from other Shichibukai, nya."
"The Shichibukai you have become in Xie Wen's situation is the state that the world government most hopes for, so even if there are other pirates suitable to become the Shichibukai, they probably won't choose them right away..." Robin took over the conversation. He continued his analysis: "Moreover, you can also become a role model, letting those who are ambitious know that there are other ways to become a Shichibukai."
So there are so many twists and turns inside?
Xie Wen's face twitched slightly, and he felt that his scalp was itchy, as if he was about to grow a brain.
However, Robin and Hua Mei Miao's analysis sounds quite similar. Coupled with Uncle Cody's hint, it would be better to leave the World Government alone for a while.
As for whether they would find a new Qibukai during this period, Xie Wen was not worried at all, because he knew that if nothing unexpected happened, another Qibukai would be killed by that guy Ace soon. Therefore, the world government has no shortage of free Shichibukai positions.
Furthermore, without the two Shichibukai, the World Government will be even more eager to recruit them. By then, they may be able to steal a few Devil Fruits from their hands!
