Chapter 49 Keeping cats is just for fun
Chapter 49: Keeping cats is just for fun!
I have to say that Otilia is quite versatile. Except for cooking, which is Sanji's responsibility, she basically takes care of all other shipping tasks.
In addition to her daily work, Otilia can not only help with navigation, but she can also help take care of Kelly when Xie Wen is exercising...
Well, that is to say, when Kelimiao is making "toys", Xie Wen must step in, otherwise he can completely become a hands-off shopkeeper.
In addition, Otilia also knows a lot about many islands in the Western Sea, so Xie Wen and the others will not be unprepared before arriving.
Just like the first destination after Explorer 1 set sail...
"There are no towns there in the Bone Broken Islands, because they are not suitable for living there at all." Otilia explained to Xie Wen and the others: "The reason why it is called the 'Bone Broken Islands' is because it is in that area. There are many undercurrents and reefs between the islands, and there are also some ferocious fish and sea beasts that will attack ships, and the 'bone shatter' here actually mainly refers to breaking the keels of ships."
After listening to Otilia's introduction, Xie Wen couldn't help but feel scared.
Fortunately, I knew the situation there in advance. Otherwise, with a small ship like Explorer 1 and the half-full sailing ability of him and Sanji, even with Corinow's good luck, it would definitely suffer.
"But now that we already know the situation of the Bone Broken Islands, it will be much easier to handle." Xie Wen shrugged and said: "At worst, we can just park the boat outside and then we swim in... By the way, it's not that there is more. A sea monster? When the time comes, it would be a good choice to just defeat one and let it lead the way."
According to the setting of One Piece, Neptune and sea beasts are different. Neptune will only obey the orders of Neptune, while sea beasts can be tamed, such as the bull-headed sea beast of the Dragon Pirates and the Franky family. The pair of horse-like sea beasts he raised.
Otilia doesn’t understand this very much…
“There was no one there, what were you doing there?”
In the early days, there was a pirate group who took advantage of the favorable location and took advantage of the location as a base. However, they found that it was very difficult to go back for supplies every time, so they gradually abandoned it. Therefore, it is impossible to have any treasures in it. The only thing worth it is some money. The resources are probably the fish and sea beasts there, which are relatively rare ingredients.
"You also know that we are called the 'El Cat Investigation Team'," Xie Wen explained patiently: "But to be precise, we should actually be called the 'Exploration Team' or the 'Search Team'. The purpose is to find the scattered AI cats. Lu cats, that place may not be suitable for human survival, but it is not necessarily the case for El cats."
This is of course an excuse that Xie Wen had thought up a long time ago, but it is not wrong to say so. After all, they can add new El cats just by running around.
Furthermore, exploring this world is not just to summon more El cats...
As mentioned before, Xie Wen has no interest in the Great Secret Treasure, One Piece, etc. As for overthrowing the Tianlong people, if he has the opportunity and ability, he will definitely help, but as a personal career or life goal, he will definitely help. Not to that extent, but since he came to such a fantasy world, it would be an absolute lie to say that he didn't want to look around.
So even without these golden fingers, Xie Wen will travel all over the world after gaining a certain level of strength, and eventually enter the Grand Route.
And the Elcats just gave him one more reason to do this.
Otilia looked at the two cats beside Xie Wen, and opened her mouth hesitantly, and finally sighed softly: "I understand, they are indeed worthy of you."
Although it seemed that Otilia's mood was a bit strange, Xie Wen didn't pay much attention to it. He gently scratched Kelimiao's chin and teased: "You heard it too, wait until we get to the Bone Broken Islands." After that, you need to swim to the island, but you can’t swim, how about staying and watching the boat?”
“I don’t want Meow!” The little stuffed animal who was still enjoying Xie Wen’s massage immediately became furious, “Kelly is also going to explore the island! Brother Sanji is a chef cat, so he should stay and watch the ship Meow!”
When faced with her second favorite thing, Kelimiao sold Sanji Miao without hesitation.
Well, Kelimiao’s first favorite thing is naturally tinkering with various explosives.
Of course, Xie Wen would not really let Kelimiao stay to watch the ship. Not to mention Kelimiao's talent for treasure hunting, if he really threw her alone on the ship, Xie Wen was worried that when he came back, Explorer One would All that was left was a pile of splinters.
But if a cat owner doesn’t play with the cat, doesn’t that mean he doesn’t keep it?
No matter how much Xie Wen dotes on Keli Meow, he still has to tease her when it’s time to do so!
"Well, but I need Sanji to accompany me to pick out the ingredients." Xie Wen persuaded with "reasonableness": "So it's more appropriate for Keli to stay and watch the ship."
Regarding teasing Keli Meow, Sanji Meow was on the same side as Xie Wen. Not only did he not speak for Keli Meow, but he agreed with a "sincere" look: "Xie Wen is right, and The island we are going to land on next is an archipelago, and we need to swim around all the time. Sister Keli, it is safer to stay on the boat." "Keli can also swim!" The little puppet started to roll around, "It's all. It was brother Xie Wen who tricked Keli into eating that strange and unpalatable fruit, meow! Now he doesn’t take Keli to play with him! You all bully Keli, meow!”
Otilia, who was still smiling as she watched Xie Wen and the others playing around, was slightly startled and asked curiously: "I can't swim after eating it...Has Keli also eaten a devil fruit?"
"Um."
Xie Wen nodded casually, answering her question. Then, feeling that he was almost amused, he turned to coax the little puppet rolling on the deck.
"Okay, okay, I was teasing you just now. How could I leave Keli alone?"
Xie Wen picked up Kelimiao, rubbed her little head with his cheek, and subconsciously suppressed her voice.
As a result, Sanji Miao, who had just "helped the tyrants to do evil", now jumped back and said: "Are you worried that Sister Keli will blow up Explorer 1?"
You are the only one who talks a lot!
Xie Wen gave the little **** a hard look.
Fortunately, Kelimiao still loved him. Although she held his arm and nibbled hard, she then carefully licked the teeth marks for him, for fear of hurting Xie Wen.
After that, the little angel Keli Meow naturally forgave Xie Wen, which disappointed Sanji Meow who wanted to see a good show.
After a while, Xie Wen and the others arrived near the Bone Broken Islands. According to the original plan, Xie Wen anchored on the edge and asked Kelimiao to lay on his back with his arms around his neck, and then took the Sanji Nya came to the boat.
"Then, I leave you with the task of watching the ship," Xie Wen turned back to Otilia and said, "There is plenty of fresh water and food on the ship, and at our speed, it shouldn't take long for us to be back. "
"Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to drive the ship away?" Otilia asked with a complicated expression.
“Yes…”
Xie Wen scratched his head in hindsight.
To be honest, they have only known each other for less than a week, and there is really no reason to give each other this level of trust.
Xie Wen reasoned that it was difficult for Otilia to survive on the sea alone. He thought that as long as she was not stupid, she would not do this. However, he ignored that this is not the earth and most people in this world have the ability to survive at sea. Experience...and a good body that is not prone to burping.
However, since the other party has asked this, it is obvious that she does not intend to do so, and is probably still testing her trust in her...
So that maid is really fake, right?
In fact, if her skin color wasn't wrong, Xie Wen would have thought she was Nicole Robin. After all, Xihai + CP, it's hard not to think of her.
Xie Wen looked at Otilia, and sure enough he saw tension and alertness in her eyes.
At this time, if Xie Wen said something like "I believe you", not only would Otilia immediately reveal her true identity, it would at least make her let go of her guard against him, so Xie Wen shrugged and replied —
“Don’t worry, if you really do this, you won’t be able to run far.”
Just a temporary teammate, Xie Wencai has no interest in gaining any favorability.
As a result, Otilia's reaction was a little strange. She blinked blankly at first, then laughed and said with a smile: "I still need your help to avoid the pursuit of the Capone family. Of course I won't do this. Such a stupid thing."
emmmm...I feel that the Otilia in front of me has become much more sincere inexplicably.
So this is the correct way to increase favorability among pirates?
I didn’t receive a website message yesterday. The second round of recommendations should be because I haven’t passed the PK, and I haven’t recommended anything later. (ω`)
