I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Three days after Cavendish became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Xie Wen and his crew were sailing on the sea as usual. Among a bunch of Toto Den Den Mushi chewing on vegetable leaves, one of them suddenly rang...

"Bulu Bulu Bulu..."

Xie Wen took a look and found that the one ringing was the Den Den Mushi that belonged to him personally.

Although there is basically no difference between his personal Den Den Mushi and the Toto Naruto used by the investigation team, and many people know this number, generally speaking, people will call this number after calling Toto Naruto and no one answers.

Only some people with more sensitive identities would use this phone to contact him first, such as Uncle Cody, Big Bear, Xia Qi, and Morgans would also give priority to calling this number if he wanted to talk to him about some more private matters.

Could it be that there is news about the Devil Fruit?

Because he had asked Morgans to help keep an eye out for the mythical beasts and space-related fruits some time ago, Xie Wen naturally thought of this aspect first.

However, when he picked up the phone, what appeared on Den Den Mushi's face was not a bird's beak, but two familiar mustaches...

"Uncle Cody?" Xie Wen was slightly disappointed for two seconds, but soon reacted, "Is there any news about Power Rock?"

"Meow?!!" x2

(=w=)x2

The two bomb cats that were playing not far away instantly pricked up their ears and looked over with shining eyes.

"Ahem, that's right. The World Government has agreed to trade Power Rock with you. However, we can only give you one."

As Cody on the other end of the phone gave a positive answer, Meowx and Klee immediately ran over and skillfully climbed onto Xie Wen's shoulders. The two kittens grabbed his ears, one on the left and one on the right, and started pulling them excitedly.

Reaching out and touching the heads of the two little guys, Xie Wen, who had long been accustomed to it, continued to ask calmly: "So, what is the price?"

"..." After a moment of silence, the other party slowly replied, "Ambush BIG MOM."

"……ha?!"

"Don't worry, the navy will also take action, and we will also summon the other Seven Warlords of the Sea." Cody quickly added.

(=`w)」

[That nun meow! ]

While Xie Wen was still digesting the news, Link Cat, at the reminder of Hua Mei Cat, had already quickly run to Xie Wen, made an Ultraman ray-shooting gesture, and accurately conveyed Lord Xiang Feihu's speculation to Xie Wen.

After Maomao's reminder, Xie Wen reacted instantly.

As expected, the World Government took advantage of the information he had deliberately leaked at the tea party and took action against BIG MOM.

Then Cavendish becoming one of the Shichibukai was not simply to save his life. The war against the Four Emperors was obviously one of the conditions.

Now that I think about it, this is indeed more reasonable. After all, Cavendish is only a prince of a franchised country, and there is no need for the World Government to take such care of him, especially since Xie Wen has not shown any intention of fighting Cavendish to the death.

At the same time, Xie Wen also figured out where Uncle Cody's resentful tone came from when he spoke to him before. The world government's plan should have been prepared at that time, or even earlier.

But the problem is...

Xie Wen was just adding fuel to the fire, he didn't want to get involved!

"You didn't attend a tea party and thought that Big Mom wouldn't bother you again, did you?"

Seeing that Xie Wen hadn't replied, Cody couldn't help but speak again: "Don't be naive. Unless you bring Keri and the others to join the Big Mom Pirates, she won't let you go... Or do you really plan to become a pirate?"

"How is that possible!" Xie Wen curled his lips, "Do I have to wait until now to become a pirate?"

"That's good..."

Cody couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although he had just dared to tell the World Government's plan so directly, he was certain that Xie Wen was still the same as before, and could not stand what those pirates did. Even if the transaction failed, he would not inform BIG MOM.

and……

Do they really think that they, the CP agents, can't see that Xie Wen is deliberately adding fuel to the fire?

It's just that they just wanted to take this opportunity to strike down the pirates who are becoming more and more rampant on the sea, so they didn't bother with Xie Wen...

Even if they wanted to make a fuss, they couldn't do anything to Xie Wen.

However, if you are not afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the unexpected.

It is also true that Xie Wen gets along very well with the BIG·MOM Pirates in Totland, and it is no secret that the BIG·MOM Pirates are good at marriage. It is normal for young people to be unable to resist the temptation of beauty.

Not to mention that Xie Wen also fought Kaido for Nico Robin, but he has a criminal record!

Fortunately, Xie Wen did not let him down.

"Then, what are you still hesitating about?" Cody urged further: "This time the battle has the participation of the other Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Admirals of the Navy, so safety is guaranteed, and the World Government will not ask you to fight to the death."

Originally, the World Government was still worrying about what method to use to get Xie Wen to join the war. After all, his situation was different from the other Seven Warlords of the Sea, and it was difficult for the World Government to force him to do anything. As a result, he encountered the matter of wanting the Power Rock.

Just as Xie Wen said, although the power of the dynamic rock is enormous, for the World Government, there are many ways to destroy an island, and this one is not a big deal. They control it just to prevent it from falling into the hands of others. But if only one or two pieces leak out, and the target is a "pro-navy" person like Xie Wen, the World Government can still accept it.

So after Cody reported Xie Wen's request, he didn't even bother to speak for Xie Wen, as his application had already been approved.

Cody, who was originally struggling to figure out how to come up with a win-win deal, was confused for a moment.

However, after learning about the World Government's idea, he immediately felt that this was a good deal. Not only would it allow Xie Wen to obtain the Power Rock, but it would also allow him to redraw a clear line between himself and the BIG MOM Pirates!

Although Cody also knew that from Xie Wen's perspective, the best solution was to please both sides, but he was also worried that Xie Wen, the young man he had high hopes for, would really be lured over by BIG MOM...

After all, he has a criminal record!

Xie Wen had no idea that he had been labeled a "lecher" by Uncle Cody, but he was not in a hurry to agree to the deal.

because……

(=w=)

"They are the Four Emperors, and I have worked so hard to build a good relationship with them. If I do this, Big Mom will hate me. Don't tell me that it is foolproof. If you are so confident, you wouldn't have let the Four Emperors occupy the New World for so many years. So... you have to pay more!"

Based on the information relayed by Link Meow, Xie Wen started bargaining with Uncle Cody.

Cody on the other end of the Den Den Mushi also looked unsurprised. Before he made the call, he had already guessed that Xie Wen was going to make a big request again.

"We can't give you a lot of power rock," Cody replied.

"Of course, I don't need much anyway." Xie Wen glanced at Link, who was making faces, and said, "But one piece is still too little. We have to give Klee some trial and error costs, right? How about three pieces? In addition, since we can't give more Power Rocks, let's use Devil Fruits instead... I think the Animal-type Mythical Beasts are good."

"How could I possibly give you that kind of fruit?!"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Cody's blood pressure still soared when he was angered by Xie Wen's request, which was made in a nonchalant tone.

"Tsk... then give me a fruit that has the ability to transfer space. If I run into Kaido next time, it will be easier for me to escape."

Under Hua Meimao's command, Xie Wen made another "reasonable" request.

Well, as expected, I was rejected again...

"Impossible! This fruit is extremely popular in the CP organization. We don't even have enough for ourselves. How can we possibly give it to you?!"

In order to prevent Xie Wen from saying anything irritating again, Cody immediately continued, "And I also said that you are not the only one involved in this battle, so the danger is actually not that high. Even if BIG MOM wants to retaliate, it won't be just you, so we can't give you too high a reward!"

╮(=ΦwΦ=)╭

Seeing that Uncle Cody was really anxious and Link Cat also made a helpless gesture, Xie Wen could only give up while he was ahead.

"Then let's just have three pieces of power rocks... Alas... I'm really at a big loss."

"Well, that's it..." Cody on the other end of the phone nodded, then reacted, "Wait! When did I agree to give three dollars?!"
