I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

After Hillnans' explanation, Cody finally believed that he was not the one who revealed this to Xie Wen...

At least that's how it looks on the surface.

Whether you really believe it or not is actually not important.

After all, it was impossible for Cody to arrest Hillnans for trial, and he would even take the initiative to cover up for him.

After explaining to Cody, Hillnans quickly returned the Den Den Mushi to Xie Wen, and then he took the initiative to avoid it and ran to a distance to release the wind for Xie Wen...

Although he and Cody have a very close relationship, Xie Wen and Cody don't mind him knowing it, but Hillnans is not stupid. He is an ordinary navy, so it is better for him to stay out of the CP organization's affairs and know less about them.

When Xie Wen saw Hillnans running away, he was stunned at first. After all, he called Cody in front of him just to make him feel more at ease.

But soon, Xie Wen understood Hillnans's concerns...

Well, it doesn’t matter anyway. My actions just now have already made my attitude clear. It doesn’t matter to Hillnans whether I succeed in getting the power rock from the World Government or not.

Of course, it would be best if we could get it.

"So, when can you give me the Power Rock?"

"Don't even think about it! There's no way we could give you something so dangerous!"

Hearing Xie Wen's matter-of-fact tone, Ke Di was furious...

When he asked the World Government for a Devil Fruit, this brat was so bad, and now he wants to do it again? !

"Eh - why?" Xie Wen dragged out his voice, his tone becoming more and more lazy. "Obviously, the other seven warlords can get seastone from you, so it's about the same for me to get two pieces of power rock, right?"

"How can it be almost the same?!" Uncle Cody continued to roar, "And those seastones were not given to them for free, but were part of the deal!"

"Then I can trade Power Rock with you. I still have some money. If you need anything else, I can help get it for you."

Xie Wen simply ignored Cody's first sentence, and then started bargaining based on his subsequent words.

"Hehe... Would the World Government need that little thing of yours?" Cody continued to sneer, "Give up. Since you know the existence of the Power Rock, you should understand that it is impossible for the higher-ups to agree to your request."

"Why? This thing is just a powerful gunpowder. It's no big deal to give me one or two pieces. I don't need a lot."

"Dynamic rock is not just some powerful gunpowder! Its power is comparable to... well... in short, it's very terrifying!"

Although he knew that Robin was with Xie Wen and that he had a high probability of coming into contact with information about ancient weapons, Cody still chose to skip it.

As a result, he heard Xie Wen's nonchalant voice the next second: "Tsk, isn't it just about destroying the island? Klee's bomb can do the same thing with her ability. If she wasn't interested in everything that can explode, I wouldn't care about the kinetic rock."

"..."

Cody fell silent for a moment.

Because judging from the battle report of the previous "G-5 Branch Incident", even if the purple fire dragon that blew Kaido away was not as powerful as Xie Wen said, it was not far behind.

Even if we can't completely sink the island, destroying most of the creatures and buildings on the island shouldn't be a big problem...

Cody immediately thought of a deal that the World Government would most likely agree to, which was to ask Xie Wen to hand over Klee's bomb formula.

Even without the bonus of the Flame-Flame Fruit, the power of the bomb will be further reduced, but in fact, this is what the World Government wants more.

Although the power of the kinetic rock is great, it is completely uncontrollable. However, the bombs that can be put into production are different. They are weapons that can be equipped for the CP organization and the navy.

For the World Government, there are many ways to destroy an island. The Dynamic Rock is only kept under surveillance because it is very dangerous if it flows out, and there are actually very few opportunities to actually use it.

Therefore, Cody did not think that the world government would refuse such a good deal as exchanging a little bit of something that was never used in daily life for a bomb formula that could be repeatedly manufactured and used.

but……

He had no intention of doing that.

Cody's original intention of joining the CP organization was to change the corrupt power organization of the World Government from within. Although he found that he couldn't do this even if he joined the CP organization, he didn't want the World Government to have more powerful weapons...

Although he knew that doing so would still be a drop in the bucket and would not have any impact on the world government, Cody did not want to make this happen himself.

He even wanted to eliminate the possibility of Xie Wen trading the bomb formula.

The easiest way is of course to explain it clearly to Xie Wen. Cody also believes that as long as he speaks, Xie Wen and Klee will cooperate, but...

It would be fine if doing so had a clear effect, but in fact, even without Klee's formula, the World Government would just lose a useful weapon that has countless alternatives.

With Cody's character as a "good guy", he really can't bear to let others pay for his boring and meaningless persistence.

Therefore, before convincing Xie Wen, he had to think of a new way of trading that Xie Wen could accept...

"Uncle Cody? Are you still there?"

Xie Wen was not aware that his casual words had caused Cody to go into a brainstorm. When he heard the sudden silence from the other end, he thought that Cody's Den Den Mushi was in bad condition and the signal was cut off.

If he knew what Cody was struggling with, he would have laughed.

Because Cody really underestimated the speed at which Klee's bombs were updated and replaced.

As far as Xie Wen knew, the power of Klee's "Flame Dragon" was at least half higher than before, not to mention the "big guy" that the little cats had been tinkering with in secret and had refused to tell him.

So even if Cody didn't tell him, he wouldn't hand over Klee's recipe...

Well, it is possible to give a recipe that was eliminated a long time ago.

"I'm still listening..."

Uncle Cody's voice came again after a while, and his tone became obviously more serious.

"I will report the matter about the power rock on your behalf," Cody did not reject Xie Wen's request this time, but replied: "As for the results, I can't guarantee..."

Cody had been thinking for a long time but couldn't come up with an alternative method, so he simply decided to report it first to see what the requirements were and then mediate.

"Then... excuse me, uncle?"

Xie Wen hung up the phone in confusion, then glanced at Keli next to him...

Although it is unclear why Uncle Cody suddenly changed his mind, it is probably because of the magical good luck of the little puppet.

It is basically impossible for an explosive that Klee has targeted to escape.
