I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

After burning Black's ship, Xie Wen and his crew continued to drive the Toot-Toot Advance towards the Moby Dick, and the Whitebeard Pirates did not try to stop them. Instead, one of the secondary ships even took the initiative to make way.

"Although the purpose of this trip is to 'visit friends', pirates are a group of lawless guys. They might fight over trivial matters, so it's best not to go all together. It's not good to always leave the Toot behind."

As the Dudu was moving, Xie Wen looked at the cats around him and asked, "Bai Xing and I are definitely going, so how about the rest? Can you guys discuss it among yourselves?"

"Of course I'm going to follow Shirahoshi, meow!"

Meowth jumped on top of Shirahoshi's head and said without hesitation.

As the big sister of Shirahoshi, the little blue cat feels that she has the responsibility to care about her interpersonal relationships.

"Hmm...how about Klee staying here to accompany Duduhao, meow..."

(=vv=)

Despite a very conflicted expression, the little puppet still jumped off Xie Wen's shoulders and chose to stay on the boat.

Her reason is actually similar to that of Meowx. Klee, who finally became a big sister, feels that she should step up and take care of her little sister, Dudu.

[Sister Klee is the best! 】

(=`=)

Duduhao also jumped off Xie Wen's head and threw himself into the arms of the little doll and started to act coquettishly.

"In that case, I can kiss Xie Wen meow~"

(=w=)

Xiaermi immediately took the position vacated by Klee and rubbed Xie Wen's cheek gently with her head.

Just like when they were in the G-5 branch, Sharmi and Kleemeow were the "power sources" of the Dudu, so at least one of them had to be kept on board and ready.

Now that Klee is rarely sticking to Xie Wen, Xiaermi, who also likes to stick to Xie Wen, will naturally follow him.

"Wherever Sister Sharmi is, I'll be there, meow!"

Sanji-nyan said confidently.

Meowjuro chose to stay and guard the ship just like he did before, while Linkmeow, who was also a cutting-type combat cat, stood silently beside Xie Wen.

As the designer of the Dudu, Meowerya also chose to stay on the ship. However, the usually homebody Meowth, Huihara, decisively took over Xie Wen's other shoulder with the six-horned salamander Shirley.

"I'm not familiar with those people, so I'll stay and watch the ship, meow."

Although Kaido-nyan is intrigued by the "world's strongest man", he decides to stay and take care of the other cats.

Suika staggered over to Xie Wen's side, sniffed and said, "I smell some good wine there, meow!"

Looking at it this way, it seems quite symmetrical. There is a cutting cat, an attack cat, a scientific research cat, and a natural cat, one on each side.

In the end, only two people in the intelligence system, Lord Xiang Feihu and Nico Robin, were left.

"I won't go," Robin waved his hand, "There's no historical text on Whitebeard's ship."

Then naturally, Hua Mei Miao would follow Xie Wen.

After Xie Wen and his team had assigned the members, the Toot-Too-Forward just happened to arrive next to the Moby-Dick.

So Xie Wen boarded the Moby Dick with Shirahoshi and the seven cats, amid the vigilance of a group of pirates he was only half-familiar with.

……

"you……"

Marco, with his pineapple-haired head, was about to speak when he was interrupted by a cheerful voice.

"Hahahahaha! Xie Wen! Why are you here?!"

As Ace ran over with a silly smile on his face, the originally tense atmosphere instantly eased a lot.

"Oh, I heard that your bounty has skyrocketed recently, so I came to capture you and exchange you for money as agreed."

Xie Wen made a joke with him...

And then this guy actually believed it!

"Eh?!! Aren't we friends here?!"

Ace was shocked, and he jumped back to distance himself from Xie Wen, assuming a fighting stance. "I won't surrender! This is a good opportunity for you to see my progress during this period!"

Xie Wen rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay any more attention to this idiot, and turned his gaze back to the pineapple-haired guy beside him.

"What is the only Shichibukai who is not a pirate doing in our Whitebeard Pirates?" Marco immediately continued what he had just been interrupted.

Despite his acquaintance Ace, he still remained vigilant towards Xie Wen.

"Nothing special, Shirahoshi just wants to come and meet her father's good friend."

Xie Wen pointed at the mermaid princess behind him and replied.

"Is that so?" Marco did not doubt it any more. His expression relaxed immediately and he showed Xie Wen and the others a friendly smile. "Well, come with me. I'll take you to see Dad."

The pirates who were surrounding him also completely relaxed and started to discuss with laughter the cute cats around Xie Wen and Princess Shirahoshi, who was equally eye-catching in both size and appearance.

"Eh?" Ace, who had been standing aside for a long time, scratched his head in confusion, "Aren't you here to arrest me?"

"How come you've become dumber after not seeing you for a while, meow?"

Sanji couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran up and kicked him twice on the calf, "Even if we want to catch you, we can't come to your base camp to catch you! You idiot who can even fall asleep while eating, meow!"

"Ahaha! So you were just joking. You scared me." Ace didn't take it seriously. He reached out and touched Sanji's head, saying hello: "Long time no see, Sanji."

Then he was bitten hard by the little yellow cat with a look of disgust.

Amid the noise, Xie Wen and his companions followed Marco and Ace to the center of the deck of Moby Dick, where they saw Edward Newgate, the "white beard", sitting under the main mast, surrounded by a group of beautiful nurses...

Well, it’s just that the leopard print stockings on their legs are a bit hard to judge.

Xie Wen's gaze flashed across the nurse, then returned to White Beard.

At this moment, he was not covered with tubes like in the comics, nor did he have an IV drip around him, but from Xie Wen's observation Haki, Whitebeard's breath already exuded a very obvious sense of decay.

Garp and Rayleigh, who are actually a few years older than Whitebeard, both look much "younger" than him.

In other words, if he could withstand Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, this so-called "strongest" of the Four Emperors would actually be the one most likely to be outlasted.

I just don't know if Whitebeard is in this condition because, as some stupid netizens speculated, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit has hidden side effects on the human body, or because he didn't take good care of himself when he was young and had too many hidden injuries...

However, considering that Rayleigh and Garp had many fights when they were young, the first possibility seems to be more reliable.

After all, for someone like Whitebeard to see his aura decline drastically as he gets older seems a little "unreasonable" among the strong men in the world of pirates.

And according to the comics, Luffy's Gear Second is a "life-saving" move, so it's not surprising that Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit has a similar move... Although in the later part of the comics, this setting seems to have been eaten up by Oda.

Xie Wen was staring at Whitebeard in a trance, but Whitebeard, who was being stared at by Xie Wen, was a little unhappy...

Whitebeard, who had been somewhat displeased with Xie Wen because of Crocodile's incident, couldn't help but snort coldly when he saw that Xie Wen was actually in a daze after seeing him.

"You little brat, are you the "Blue Star" Xie Wen who has been making so much noise recently?"

As Whitebeard spoke, he released his domineering aura that had almost no effect on Xie Wen and pressed towards him.
