I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"Okay, now we have to wait for Uncle Cody's reply. Anyway, you won't be able to get the Power Rock in the short term."

After putting away the Den Den Mushi, Xie Wen picked up the two Bombcats, one in each hand, and leaned over to rub his face against them.

The two kittens, in turn, hugged Xie Wen's head and responded affectionately.

"Hehehe~ Thank you Xie Wen brother meow~"

(==)

"Don't worry, Xie Wen. Klee and I will try our best to make a powerful bomb with it to thank you, meow!"

(=)

No... If that's the case, it's better not to thank me...

Xie Wen rolled his eyes speechlessly, then led the cats towards Hillnans who was keeping watch for them in the distance.

After solving the problem of the power rock and exploring the map while touring the naval base, Xie Wen and his friends no longer had any other needs on this island. However, if they just left, it would seem too snobbish and rude, so Xie Wen decided to stay for a while...

At least they had to complete the task that Hillnans had previously invited them to have dinner in the Navy cafeteria.

"Okay, I'll continue to take you around the rest of the place!"

When Hillnans saw Xie Wen coming, he had no intention of asking any questions. He just continued to take them around the base as if nothing had happened.

……

"Come and try this! This is the most delicious dish in our base!"

"Don't listen to this tasteless guy! This charcoal grilled scallop is the best!"

"You bunch of idiots! Of course children like to eat desserts! Come here, little Keri, uncle got you a delicious cake~"

"Ms. Suika, come and try the fine wine I found from under Colonel Kaios' bed!"

"Wait a minute! How did you know I hid the wine there?!"

"Hahahahaha! When I first followed you, Colonel, in Branch 211, I already knew that you liked to hide good things under your bed!"

"I heard that you two are also swordsmen. I'm not on duty this afternoon, so let's spar together."

“Ahhhh! Ai-sama’s disgusted expression is so cute!”

"This pan-fried top bone steak is my specialty. Please give me some advice, Lord Black Claw!"

Before, it was not obvious that these sailors needed to stand guard and train, but when it was time for dinner and Xie Wen and others entered the cafeteria, all these sailors crowded over. Even the chefs in the kitchen came to Sanji to exchange cooking skills. Because everyone was so enthusiastic, they even pushed the highest officer, Hillnans, aside.

"Get out of my way! Go train after you've eaten! Stop disturbing others!"

After being squeezed out of the crowd, Hillnans roared and drove away his subordinates, but only the marines and the junior officers left with a look of displeasure on their faces. The senior officers like lieutenant colonels and brigadier generals were not afraid of him. Not only did they continue to surround the cats, they also incited the crowd on the side.

"Lieutenant General Hillnans must want to drive us away and stay alone with these cute cats."

"The Vice Admiral of the Navy is abusing his power for personal gain! Protest! Protest!"

"Oppose the tyranny of the lieutenant general! The cat belongs to everyone!"

Hmmmm... How should I put it? I feel like the navy in this base is a little too cheerful. Are they really some special force of SHIELD?

Xie Wen looked speechlessly at the officers who were leading others to join in the commotion, and suddenly felt that if they had used the Dudu Sea Dragon to sneak onto the island from the beginning, they might have already stolen the Power Rock by now.

In this somewhat joyful atmosphere, Xie Wen and his companions stayed on the island for a while after lunch. After exchanging ideas with several capable naval officers, they left the island with the reluctant farewell of all the naval officers on the island.

……

As the Toot Advance had just left the navy port, her ship elf emerged from the deck.

Because of her "social phobia", she was once again unable to move with the group, so as soon as she left the sight of the navy, the little guy immediately stuck to her.

[Xie Wen, where should we go next? 】

As she asked casually, she skillfully climbed onto Xie Wen's head, and her two hanging little paws were restlessly scratching his nose, making it into the shape of a pig's nose.

He took the little naughty girl down from his head and patted her little butt twice. After thinking for a while, Xie Wen replied, "Let's go find Whitebeard. Shirahoshi should want to meet him too, right?"

He didn’t dare let Klee come to the “lottery” again. This time it was the Power Rock, and next time it might run to Egghead Island.

Although Xie Wen planned to go to Egghead Island, the timing was not right now. Not only was there no trouble on Egghead Island yet, but Vegapunk's Pacifists and Seraphs should not have been created yet.

If you consider all factors, going to cause trouble for Tian Yasha is actually a good option, but as mentioned before, you also have to consider the situation on Luo's side.

Besides, he had just finished a phone call with Uncle Cody to discuss the deal with the World Government. Before the deal for the Power Rock was completed, it would be better not to do anything too outrageous to provoke them...

It’s definitely not that he is too lazy to turn back.

"Yes!" Bai Xing nodded happily after hearing Xie Wen's decision. "My father said that when I was very young, Father Whitebeard held me in his arms. Unfortunately, I was too young at the time and have no memory of it."

"..."

Is it true that people in the pirate world also say this?

Xie Wen smacked his lips speechlessly, but ultimately did not complain.

As for the specific location of Whitebeard, it is not difficult to find. Although the old man does not stay in his base camp all year round like Kaido and Big Mom, he is used to taking his "sons" with him, so every time he sets sail, he is in a grand manner...

In addition to the huge Moby Dick, there are usually several smaller pirate ships following it, managed by other captains. Hua Mei Miao should be able to find the other party's location by finding an intelligence dealer.

not to mention……

Xie Wen also has a well-informed "team of scribes".

"Wow, hahaha! How come you have time to look for me recently? Xie Wen!" Morgans was very excited after receiving Xie Wen's call, "Is there any big news again?"

"I'm a kind-hearted Shichibukai, how can I give you so much big news?" Xie Wen curled his lips and rolled his eyes.

Morgans on the other end of the phone rolled his eyes, then curled his lips, opening and closing his beak a few times, but in the end he did not say a word to refute this shameless guy Xie Wen.

"So, what do you want from me?"

"Oh, I just want to ask you about Whitebeard's location. I plan to meet him." Xie Wen said calmly.

As a result, Morgans on the opposite side jumped up directly...

"Isn't this big news?! The Seven Warlords of the Sea, Azure Star, challenge the Four Emperors again! Are you going to look for Red Hair again?! Are you planning to challenge all the Four Emperors?!"

"..."

Listening to Morgans' excited shouting and the news headlines he made up on the spur of the moment, Xie Wen felt that he had a deep misunderstanding of him.

"I am taking Shirahoshi to see him... King Neptune and Whitebeard are good friends, and he helped stop the beasts and Big Mom before, so I just went to say thank you... What do you mean I want to challenge all the Four Emperors? I only fought with Kaido, okay? And I was forced to do it. I don't want to cause any trouble at all! If possible, I just want to travel peacefully with the cats."

Xie Wen defended himself helplessly.

"Hehehe... Only Kaido? You still underestimate my intelligence ability! Before in Totland, you also fought against Big Mom who had an episode of bulimia, right?"

After Morgans boasted proudly for a while, he complained in a joking tone: "You didn't tell me this big news, be careful or I will deduct your salary."

"You said that Big Mom had bulimia at that time..." Xie Wen was too tired to continue arguing with him, so he changed the subject, "So do you have any news about Whitebeard?"

"Of course, the whereabouts of the Whitebeard Pirates are not difficult to find. They are now near the Odris Sea. If nothing unexpected happens, they should stay there for three to five days."

"Okay, thank you!"

After Xie Wen finished speaking, he was about to end the call, but a second before hanging up, he suddenly stopped and spoke again -

"Well, give me the red-haired position as well."

"Xie Wen! You said you didn't want to cause trouble?!"
