I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Fortunately, Kaido did not let Xie Wen activate his plan D.

After all, Xie Wen's plan is basically arranged in a manner of increasing danger and decreasing success rate, so it is best not to use it.

But even so, they were chased away by Kaido for a day and a night.

It's not that he hasn't tried to attack Xie Wen during this period, but underwater, many of Kaido's methods have relatively average effects, or they are moves like Elbaf's Spear that require charging.

The only thing that is more reliable is the thunder and lightning ability that comes with the Azure Dragon Fruit, but Xie Wen and his team's battle suits have already worked hard in this area after they fought against Enelu and summoned Sharmi. In addition, the cats usually still It will use the fur tribe mode to charge the battle suit, so Kaido's electric shock has no effect except electrocuting a group of unlucky sea creatures...

On the contrary, it charged Xie Wen and his team's battle suits with a wave of energy.

Coupled with the harsh weather that can be encountered even on the bottom of the sea in the Grand Line, Kaido finally gave up the chase when he found that he could not catch up no matter how hard he pursued. Instead, he was being pulled further and further away.

Of course, there is another possibility - he is addicted to alcohol.

In short, no matter what the reason is, Kaido's departure is an established fact, and Xie Wen can finally breathe a little relieved.

However, the steady Xie Wen did not let down his guard because of this. Instead, he led Sanji Meow around on the seabed for a long time, and then carefully floated to the surface of the sea.

"It looks like he's really gone."

After sticking his head out of the water and watching for a while, Xie Wen breathed a sigh of relief, took out a bottle of recovery medicine and drank it.

Although with his physique, he actually recovered a lot during this day and night of escape, and the pain in his body had already eased a lot, the load on Link's body was still quite special. Just relying on self-recovery, one day The time is far from enough.

As the recovery medicine prepared by Doraemon was taken down, Xie Wen's injuries were quickly healed by consuming a lot of energy, so he quickly stuffed a few slices of meat into his mouth.

After eating and drinking, Xie Wen's condition recovered to a certain extent, even if Kaido appeared again...

He can still escape!

Xie Wen was in a relatively good mood at this time, and even had time to laugh at himself.

But soon, he touched his head again in distress...

Because there is only sea water all around, and there is no land or ship at all. God knows where they were driven by Kaido, and they couldn't even find a temporary place to stay.

Fortunately, Xie Wen also has the Hunter Manual, a plug-in that automatically records the map. Although the unexplored areas are still blank, it at least allows him to figure out the southeast, northwest, and their approximate current location.

Of course, before that, you have to call the cats to report that they are safe and confirm the situation there.

Xie Wen, who was thinking about the cats, quickly took out his phone bug from his arms.

Thanks to the tenacious vitality of the phone bugs in the pirate world, as long as they are not attacked directly, they can survive for a long time even if they are soaked in water. On the contrary, the equipment connected to them is more likely to malfunction after entering the water.

However, Xie Wen's phone bug has been protected by his cat battle suit before, so it has not been exposed to sea water at all. There is also a sufficient supply of oxygen in the battle suit. It just hasn't eaten for a day, which is not considered a problem for the phone bug at all. What.

"Brother Xie Wen! Are you and brother Sanji okay?"

After the call was dialed, Kelimiao's concerned voice immediately came from the phone bug's mouth.

"Don't worry, we are all fine." Xie Wen replied in a relaxed tone: "How are you doing over there?"

"We're fine too, meow!" Hearing that they were safe and sound, the little puppet's voice became cheerful, "After we flew a certain distance, Sister Huamei let the Dudu Qianjin dive into the sea. That one will change Jackie Chan’s Big Bad Can’t Find Our Meow!”

"That's good," Xie Wen finally felt relieved at this time. "After Sanji and I find a place to stay, I will notify you to pick me up. During this period, Keli, you must listen obediently. Hua Mei’s words.”

"Keli will be obedient, meow!" The little puppet quickly agreed: "Brother Xie Wen and brother Sanji should also be careful, meow!"

After chatting with Keli Miao for a while, the cat on the other end of the line was replaced by Hua Mei Miao, and I learned more detailed information from her.

In fact, it is similar to what Kelimiao said before. With the speed of the Dudu Sky Comet, Kaido could not catch up with her, not to mention that he was held back by Xie Wen, and the remaining members of the Hundred Beasts were even more difficult to catch up with her. There was no other way. As the Dudu dived into the water, the people from Baishou couldn't do a large-scale search even if they wanted to.

"One more thing," Hua Mei Miao added after adding some details: "Mr. Morgans called just now. I have told him everything that happened before, and I suggested that he Report it truthfully."

The phone bug with anti-eavesdropping function was placed on the ship, so Xie Wen failed to receive the call from the "boss".

However, Xie Wen also agreed with Hua Mei Miao's approach. He hid the Elu cats before, just because he didn't want to attract attention. Now, the cats have already taken action in Malinfando, and he has become a Shichibukai. Naturally, There is no need to hide them.

Moreover, showing the strength of the investigation team can also make most people who want to take action against Robin retreat.

Just ...

"Has he already thought of your nicknames? Forget it, I'd better call him later when I'm free."

Huamei Meow: "..."

After Xiang Feihu, Xie Wen said a few words to all the cats except Link Miao...

Well, in fact, Link Miao also had a call, but his strange talent was ineffective after being transferred through the phone bug. However, in the end, he still said "meow", and he and Xie Wen were safe.

Then there was Bai Xing who was crying profusely on the other end of the phone, and Robin who sounded quite calm. Finally, even Dudus and Shirley came to the phone and called out twice.

After finally ending the call, Xie Wen put away the phone bug and suddenly realized that something was wrong...

A certain little yellow cat was too quiet and didn't bother to talk to the big El cats.

"Sanji? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, meow..." Sanji's voice sounded very frustrated, and then he apologized to Xie Wen again: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me, you have to wait until this time to drink medicine to recover, meow..."

"Hey, it's just a little thing!"

Xie Wen rubbed his little head, which was resting on his shoulder, without any intention of blaming him.

Although this little fool's impulsiveness caused his plan to go awry before, that was what Sanji's character would do. It was a bit of a cheat, but Xie Wen could still understand and accept it.

And there is a saying, compared with the explosions that Kelimiao creates from time to time, the seriousness of the disaster caused by Sanji Meow is actually just that. It looks a bit thrilling, but the actual damage caused to Xie Wen is actually not that big. It's not as good as before when Keli Miao couldn't grasp the power of her own bomb.

What's more, looking at the self-blaming look on the little yellow cat's face, it is obvious that he already knows his mistake, so Xie Wen naturally has no need to hold on to him.

"Okay, don't you little guys usually cause me less trouble? It's really not a big deal. Just don't be so impulsive in the future."

Seeing that Sanji Miao was still listless and lackluster, Xie Wen gently tugged on his ears and continued to comfort him: "Besides, if it weren't for the help of your battle suit, we wouldn't be able to distance ourselves from Kaido. , let him give up the pursuit."

Of course, Sanji Miao knew that if he hadn't been left behind by Dudu, Xie Wen would have gotten rid of the enemy through Link's time, but Xie Wen's comfort still made him feel a lot better.

The little yellow cat, who had regained some energy, stretched his neck, licked Xie Wen's ears, and then rubbed his cheek affectionately, "Let's go to find land quickly. I'll cook a big meal for you then." Eat meow!”

"Well, then I'll just look forward to it."

Xie Wen smiled, then took out the hunter's manual and looked at the map...

Well, just as he expected, except for the "escape route" extending all the way from the G-5 branch, the surrounding sea areas are still unexplored, and there is no clue where there is land.

And the record pointer that was full of magnets was placed on the ship. What was in Xie Wen's bag was either the record pointer that was not full of magnets and all three hands were spinning randomly, or the permanent pointer pointing to the first half of the great route. It can't be used as a reference at all.

Although it was not impossible to swim back, Xie Wen was a little worried about encountering the returning Beast Pirates along the way.

and……

After zooming in on the map, Xie Wen suddenly discovered that there were a bunch of cat-head icons crowded in a place far away from them.

correct! This map shows the locations of the El cats.

Xie Wen patted his forehead knowingly.

Because he usually stayed with cats, he had forgotten that the map in the manual had this function.

Now Xie Wen didn't have to worry about it, he just swam directly in the direction where the cats were.
