I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

At the same time Xie Wen received Cody's call, several other Seven Warlords of the Sea also received the news.

Needless to say, Cavendish should be the first one to know about it.

Fishman Island has been working hard to gain recognition from the World Government in recent times, so it is naturally impossible for Jinbe to refuse, thus causing dissatisfaction from the World Government.

Doflamingo, who wants to become the Pirate King and is eager to see the world in chaos, will not miss such "interesting" things.

Of course, Tian Yasha, like Xie Wen, was not optimistic about the actions of the World Government and the Navy, so he just came over to watch the show and see if there was any chance to do something about it.

Fat Moria actually didn't want to go out, but Xie Wen and the cats had released almost all the shadows he had collected some time ago, and most of the corpses had been burned to ashes. Although he collected some more during this period, his efficiency was too low, so he just needed such an opportunity to replenish the materials on a large scale.

Hawkeye, the strongest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, did not refuse this call. Although Charlotte Linlin was not a swordsman, and there were not many swordsmen worth mentioning in the Big Mom Pirates, but...

Who made him so idle recently? It seemed quite nice to fight against such a strong man as the Four Emperors.

The only one who didn't want to participate was Hancock. It was almost the same as what happened in the comics. The marines who went to invite her were petrified by her. And this time there was no Luffy to change Hancock's mind, so the navy didn't realize until several days later that those marines had lost contact, so they had to send the fastest Kizaru to Nine Snake Island again.

People like Hancock actually deserve to be punished. After being blasted with lasers by Kizaru, she obediently unpetrified those navy officers and followed them to meet up with the other Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Before she arrived, Xie Wen had already arrived at the small island called Oberstein.

Xie Wen, who originally didn't want to go back, finally turned back, because the location of Oberstein Island is very close to the Red Earth Continent. On the map in the Hunter's Manual, it is basically on the same level as the G-5 branch, but closer to the edge area. If you go a little further out, you will enter the doldrums.

"Master Xie Wen, this is it." The navy officer in charge of picking up Xie Wen lowered the gangplank and extended his hand to lead him. "We have prepared enough food and wine on the island. You can enjoy them to your heart's content."

Xie Wen did not rush to get off the boat, but stood by the boat and looked around.

Before coming here, he also learned a little about Oberstein Island. This island is a very ordinary island in the Grand Route. It is neither a transportation hub nor has any particularly valuable specialties.

And because of its small area, there is only a small town with a small population, but it is the territory of a certain member country.

But as it stands now, this place is most likely to have been requisitioned.

As for why this place was chosen as an ambush site...it can't be just for some boring reason like because there are few indigenous people here and it is easy to evacuate, right?

Without the Cat Think Tank, Cang Lanxing didn't have much idea, so after thinking for a while, he gave up decisively and walked down the gangplank...

Huh? yes!

Since it was an ambush, shouldn't they be careful? Why did they send a warship to pick me up? If they did the same to the other Shichibukai, wouldn't they have been exposed long ago?

Moreover, in addition to the warship that picked up Xie Wen, there are several other warships docked at the dock, and they don't seem to be afraid of being exposed at all.

Xie Wen frowned when he noticed something was wrong, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he obediently followed the navy who came to pick him up and walked into the town.

"Cang Lanxing! Give me back my sword!"

As soon as he entered the town, an angry Cavendish ran over.

Xie Wen looked towards him following the voice and soon discovered that he had a new rapier on his waist, but compared to "Durandel", this sword looked much more ordinary.

"Ah!"

Xie Wen sneered and didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just withdrew his gaze and walked towards the other Shichibukai who came out to greet him.

"Long time no see, Jinbei."

"Thank you for everything you've done for Fishman Island, Xie Wen!"

Jinbei gave Xie Wen a warm hug, "How are you doing, Princess Shirahoshi? If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know!"

Seeing that Xie Wen completely ignored him and instead ran to greet Jinbei, Cavendish's hand subconsciously rested on the hilt of the sword. His handsome face changed several times, but finally he let go of his hand in disappointment, then turned and left angrily.

but……

His dual personality can indeed be controlled.

Although he didn't look Cavendish in the eye, the steady Bluestar still activated his Observation Haki just in case.

Just now, Cavendish's aura had increased significantly, just like when his second personality appeared, and it lasted for quite a while, but Cavendish remained conscious the whole time, and after his aura subsided, he did not fall asleep immediately...

Obviously, Xie Wen's previous guess was correct.

"Do you have a grudge against him?"

The conflict between Xie Wen and Cavendish was not reported, so Jinbei was naturally unaware of the feud between the two.

"No grudge," Xie Wen shrugged and told the truth, "He was the one who came to trouble me in the first place. If Aokiji hadn't suddenly intervened, he would have been hacked to death by Seijuro a few months ago. Now he just lost a sword and became a Seven Warlords of the Sea because of a blessing in disguise... He should just be happy."

"Okay... so he has a grudge against you..."

After hearing what Xie Wen said, Jinbei understood that Xie Wen didn't take this new Shichibukai seriously at all. It was just that Cavendish wanted to make trouble for him unilaterally.

Jinbei didn't care too much about Cavendish. After all, he was just a supernova who had emerged this year. Although his bounty was higher, Jinbei didn't think that his strength could pose any threat to himself and Xie Wen.

"Let's go! Let's go have a nice drink!"

The blue-skinned whale shark patted Xie Wen on the shoulder and then pulled him towards the center of the town.

Along the way, Xie Wen saw almost all navy personnel, and indeed, all the civilians here had been transferred away.

but……

These navy men did not seem to be very nervous, and it did not seem that they had arranged any defensive measures.

Besides, he just asked Jinbe.

Like himself, Jinbei was also brought here by a warship, but Tenyaksha seemed to have "flown" here by himself, as well as Hawkeye, the small sampan that Xie Wenyou saw at the dock...

So, with the Navy's indifferent attitude, do they really want to make this the final battlefield?

Xie Wen became more and more suspicious.

However, no matter what the World Government and the Navy think, Xie Wen is just here to make a cameo appearance, so he is not too curious about the Navy’s real plan.

In this way, the two came to the most magnificent building in the center of the town.

"This is the mayor's home. The navy used it to entertain us."

Jinbei explained, then walked in with Xie Wen.

Well, it turns out that what goes up must go down. Those good mayors and good village heads that often appear in comics are actually a minority.

Xie Wen looked at the mayor's house, which was obviously different from the surrounding buildings. After sighing in his heart, he followed him in.
