I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

As Bai Xing, who was not wearing the brain wave amplifier, covered her ears with her hands and closed her eyes and began to try to communicate with the elephant master, Xie Wen and the cats who were staring at the instrument in front of them all paid some attention to her.

Even Inuarashi and Nekomaru, who were originally autistic, regained a little energy and cast their gazes over.

Only Robin was still concentrating on the main historical text.

After a moment, Bai Xing suddenly opened his eyes: "There is a response!"

After she cheered in surprise, she suddenly froze, then turned to look at Xie Wen: "Um... Boss Xie Wen, what should I say to the Elephant Master?"

"..."

Xie Wen rolled his eyes speechlessly. While recording the numerical changes on the instrument in front of him, he replied: "Just ask it what happened eight hundred years ago, why Joy Boy had to apologize to the previous mermaid princess, and why the elephant master was punished, etc."

In fact, he was not particularly concerned about these issues, but since he had been contacted, and he had nothing to do, he might as well ask.

After receiving the instructions, Bai Xing immediately closed his eyes and communicated with the elephant master.

This time the communication between the two sides took longer. Even until Robin finished translating the historical text on the red signpost, Shirahoshi did not open her eyes. And from her tightly pursed lips and trembling body, it seemed that she had heard something extraordinary.

After a while, Bai Xing slowly opened her eyes, but this time her expression was blank and her eyes were unfocused, as if she was frightened. She even forgot to take down her hands that were covering her ears.

"Shirahoshi! Are you okay?!" Although Meowx usually doesn't spare people with her words, she still cares about this "little sister" who is constantly changing her mind. She threw away the data she recorded in her hand, quickly jumped onto Shirahoshi's shoulder, patted the back of her hand that was covering her ears with her little paws, and asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell, meow?"

"Ah? Ah!" Bai Xing finally came back to her senses. She put down her hands, shook her head a few times, and replied with a dazed expression: "I'm fine, just... too shocked."

"What did the elephant master say to you?"

Robin also walked over curiously. After all, this was first-hand information provided by eyewitnesses of history, so of course she couldn't not be interested.

Bai Xing took a few deep breaths and calmed down before saying seriously, "Don't be afraid of what I'm going to say..."

"..."

Xie Wen almost took over the familiar line, but fortunately he knew this was not the time to show off, so he abruptly stopped the urge to take over.

"This world was not like this eight hundred years ago..."

As Bai Xing told the story, Xie Wen and the others roughly understood what happened eight hundred years ago.

To put it simply, there was a large-scale war between the Joyboy forces and the World Government forces. Under the influence of this war, the sea level of the whole world rose instantly, resulting in the current form of the world dominated by island civilization. Before that, this place should be similar to the Earth, dominated by several connected continents.

The reasons for Joyboy's apology letter and the elephant master's punishment are very simple... they lost the battle. As the main general, Joyboy should bear the main responsibility, and the elephant master is probably one of the winners of this battle. It's a pity that he is very secretive about it and doesn't want to talk about it in detail.

As for the specific reasons for the fight between the two sides, the elephant master did not say it. It was not known whether he did not want to say it or did not know. After all, it felt like Joey Boy's pet or something like that, and only knew to follow orders.

Of course, this kind of thing was not very important. After all, what was being fought for was the entire world. There were only a few reasons, and the final result was that the World Government, or more precisely, the joint forces of the twenty countries at that time, won, and the Celestial Dragons became the aristocrats of this world.

only……

"that's it?"

Xie Wen curled his lips in boredom.

He originally thought that there would be some big secret that Oda had kept secret for more than 20 years, but this is it?

The winner takes it all. Joyboy lost the fight, so the World Government became the ruler of this world. Isn't this normal?

As for the rising sea levels that submerged most of the land…

With the pirates' exaggerated combat power and the ancient weapon "Pluto" that is said to be able to destroy an island with one shot, it is not impossible that they sank several continents and caused the global sea level to rise. This possibility is not impossible, and it is even very high. Moreover, changing the terrain and controlling nature are not difficult for some fruits.

What's more, there is the mysterious "King of Heaven" Uranus and Im, God knows what kind of incredible abilities they have.

"So, why doesn't the World Government want people to know about the blank 100 years? Even if the sea level rise was caused by the World Government, they are the winners. They have such means, so they should be afraid of others, right? If they were to do it again, I guess not many people would be able to escape. Wouldn't this be more beneficial to the World Government's rule?"

Although high-pressure policies are not advisable and will eventually backfire, the World Government and the Celestial Dragons are like this now. Rather than relying on silencing them to maintain their dwindling reputation, it would be better to just go all the way.

In addition...

"Speaking of which, the current situation of Fish-Man Island may not be as simple as it seems. After all, the Fish-Man tribe has too much advantage in the ocean. The rising sea level is a disaster for others, but it has little impact on you. In addition, you were obviously on Joyboy's side back then, so it is very likely that the World Government is deliberately suppressing the living environment of the Fish-Man tribe... It's just that over time, they may have forgotten the specific reasons, but this habit has been retained."

Xie Wen rubbed his chin and analyzed, while also reminding Shirahoshi: "But there is no guarantee that there are relevant records left among the core members of the World Government, so you may have to be mentally prepared. Fishman Island's petition is likely to fail."

Bai Xing was stunned for a moment, but soon said with a firm face: "If we fail, we will find another way! We will not give up easily!"

"So, Zou, Wano Country, and Fishman Island were allies eight hundred years ago, and our enemy was the World Government?"

Inuarashi had digested this shocking news by now and shouted excitedly.

Xie Wen could guess what he was going to say next, so he decisively said before he could, "So what? That was eight hundred years ago. You don't want to use the alliance from eight hundred years ago to ask a little girl like Shirahoshi to help you save Wano Country? If you have read the recent newspapers, you should know that the fishmen can't even take care of themselves, so they don't have time to help your ally from eight hundred years ago."

Then he pointed at himself and said, "As for me, I have nothing to do with Joyboy, or do you want to get these kids to help in the name of Zou?"

Xie Wen stroked Klee's little head and asked with a mocking look on his face.

Inuarashi looked embarrassed as he was silenced.

After being scolded like this, the hot-tempered Cat Viper directly said: "No need! When Master Momonosuke returns, we can deal with Kaido ourselves!"

"Well, that's best."

Xie Wen nodded with satisfaction. This was exactly what he wanted. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to be remembered all the time.

Of course there is no problem in beating Kaido. Even if there is no Zou, Xie Wen and the cats will seek revenge on Kaido one day. However, Xie Wen definitely does not want to do it in the name of the Kozuki clan.
