I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Xie Wen and his companions did not have to wait too long, as soon a warship with the Seagull flag came over from a distance.

This is really the Navy's territory...

Because there had been speculation before that this place might be the official sphere of influence, Xie Wen was relatively calm. Moreover, with his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he didn't have to worry about the navy causing trouble for him.

However, Xie Wen was also curious about what this place was.

After all, it is impossible to place any territorial sea worms in a normal naval base, and as far as he knows, the Navy's G-series bases are not capable of going deep into the New World...

As far as Xie Wen knows, the only islands that meet the conditions of being located deeper in the New World, having a large number of naval bases, and not allowing others to approach are Eggman Island where Vegapunk is located, and the island used to store the Power Rock in the movie.

However, the outline of the island before them did not resemble an egg in any way. Even if it was too early and Vegapunk had not yet completely transformed the island, Luffy and his friends in the comics did not encounter any warnings about terrestrial sea worms.

The key is……

"This……"

The main reason is that Klee's bomb is too scary, not to mention that the other little cats are still tinkering with a big one.

(=｀3=)

The little doll pouted and said unhappily.

"Brother Xie Wen, are you thinking of something rude again, meow?!"

Xie Wen shuddered subconsciously.

If there was a one in ten thousand chance that I had guessed wrong just now, and there really was a naval branch that was so bored that it planted sea worms in the waters around it, then the probability that there was a dynamic rock here now could be said to be 100 percent.

Colonel Kaios had a very good attitude. Even when he was trying to stop Xie Wen and the others from getting closer, he was extremely friendly. He even laid out all the compensation conditions without Xie Wen even needing to speak.

After all, the special forces have come out, it can't be anywhere else.

Maybe the navy of Egghead Island also belongs to this force.

Obviously, this unit should be of the same level as the SWORD unit that Coby later joined, and it is even possible that they were established at the same time. However, just by looking at the name, we can tell that their functions are different from SWORD, and they are mainly responsible for guarding tasks.

"Hey, but Klee wants to go to the island... I feel like it would be fun there, meow."

So after choosing the lesser of two evils, Xie Wen decisively chose to negotiate with the navy officer named Kaios.

Xie Wen said this half-truthfully, while also trying to divert Klee's attention.

As for Meowx, he can try to chew two pieces of power rocks to improve his fruit ability.

As one of the protagonists of the "G-5 Branch War Incident", the appearance of the Toot-Too Progress had long been known to people, so the other party did not conduct any routine inquiries, but directly had a general wearing a cloak of justice stand on the bow.

"This is Colonel Kaios of the Navy's special forces SHIELD. I'm honored to meet Master Xie Wen from the Blue Star!"

The reason why he behaved like this, in addition to Xie Wen's identity as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was more because of the propaganda of the World Government and Morgans. Therefore, most of the navy had a good impression of Xie Wen and the cute cats around him.

This is the direction that Klee chose by chance!

Xie Wen rubbed his chin and was basically certain that this island was the unknown island where the dynamic rock was stored.

Moreover, with Xie Wen's current status as one of the Shichibukai, he might be able to ask for it directly from the World Government. After all, this is not a top-secret technology, it's just a special material like Seastone. The other Shichibukai can get Seastone from the World Government, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to ask for one or two pieces of Power Rock, right?

Xie Wen thought about it, but still couldn't make up his mind...

But even so, Xie Wen still did not intend to steal the power rock.

If you really want to steal, you have to wait until you have a complete fall out with the World Government.

As soon as the other party came up, he brought his subordinates and saluted Xie Wen and others in a very imposing manner.

Xie Wen twitched his lips. Of course he understood Klee's subtext, but he was still struggling over whether he should take her away from here. Now that Klee said that, it was obviously not possible to do so.

As if Klee had sensed something, she decisively raised her little paws and punched Xie Wen's head with a series of cat punches.

However, Klee knew that if she said this, it would be even less likely that they would be allowed to go to the island, so she changed her words.

(`w≡`w)

Xie Wen: "..."

"Alas--"

"You heard it too. My cat wants to go to the island to play." Xie Wen shrugged at Kaios and negotiated with him in a helpless tone: "I also know that you have responsibilities. How about this? We will just walk around the periphery and not enter your base. If you are still worried, you can send someone to follow us."

"I'm sorry, the island ahead is a key location blocked by the World Government. No one else is allowed to land. We will provide a permanent pointer to the next island. Sir Xie Wen, if you have any needs, you can also raise them. We will try our best to meet them."

because……

Sure enough, the little puppet was still so easy to fool. She immediately stopped caring about Xie Wen’s strange emotional reaction and shook her head rapidly: “No! Klee has already made an agreement with Ai, Jinx, Purya, and Suika. We have to work hard in secret and surprise everyone, meow!”

Sure enough, it is the island where the Power Rock is stored...

"Ahem... I just suddenly thought of that big bomb you guys have been tinkering with in secret. Can you really not tell me a little bit about it?"

As they were talking, the warship was approaching.

In fact, there was one more thing she didn't say, which was... she smelled the scent of treasure on that island.

And... SHIELD... Strategic Homeland Security... Ugh! SHIELD?

Kaios looked hesitant and obviously couldn't make up his mind.

If it were any other Shichibukai, Kaios would have definitely driven them away without saying a word, but Xie Wen was different. If it wasn't for his duty, he would even want to find a place to sit down and have a couple of drinks with Xie Wen.

because……

After all, this thing is different from the original historical text and cannot be copied. If one is stolen, one less will be lost. Even if the theft is not discovered, the navy only needs to check who has been to the island recently and they can be identified.

However, he didn't have much idea of ​​stealing the power rock from here at this time.

He didn't know whether it was gorgeous or not, but it would definitely be shocking.

Xie Wen sighed inwardly.

Klee’s bomb is powerful enough!

Especially with Meowx's cooperation and Suika's further compression, the power of the bomb tripled. If she was given a power rock that was set to be as powerful as ancient weapons...

The other cats must have understood Klee's subtext very tacitly. If Xie Wen dared to turn around and leave without making any attempts, he would just have to wait for revenge from these little cats!

(=`h=)ジ

"Please wait a moment. I need to consult my superior."

After hesitating for a while, Kaios decided to leave this problem to his immediate superior to worry about. Then, in front of Xie Wen, he used Den Den Mushi to contact the lieutenant general stationed on the island.
