I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"How did you get involved with this troublesome guy named Sakaski?"

After Akainu left, Kizaru immediately asked with a wry smile: "Even before this, he had a very high opinion of you and kept talking about having you join the navy."

However, Xie Wen was also innocent. He did nothing, but the other party came up to him and started pointing fingers at him for no apparent reason.

In fact, if we ignore his own position, Xie Wen's evaluation of Akainu is also not bad. Even though he just pointed fingers at him in a fatherly manner, Xie Wen still thinks so.

Because in the entire navy, Akainu should be regarded as the navy that best fits the definition of a "soldier". It's a pity that the World Government that owns the navy is not a good guy. Therefore, the more competent Akainu is as a navy, the more he helps the evil.

In addition, he is an absolute hawk with cruel means, so even though his attitude towards pirates is to eradicate all evil, Xie Wen still can't like him.

Therefore, given that he already has sufficient strength and status, he would naturally not indulge Akainu's bad habits.

After briefly explaining what had just happened, Kizaru didn't know what to say.

Unlike Akainu, who believes in absolute justice, Kizaru believes in ambiguous justice. In other words, he is the general who knows the art of compromise and slacking off the most. Naturally, he will not think that there is anything wrong with Xie Wen's actions like Akainu does...

The World Government has no objection, so why should they, as navy personnel, argue with Xie Wen about this?

So Kizaru couldn't help but complain in his heart that Akainu was really bored, especially in this situation where the Seven Warlords of the Sea needed to contribute, wasn't he weakening his own combat power in disguise?

But he couldn't say this openly, and instead had to help Akainu make up for it.

"Don't worry, he's just talking." Kizaru patted Xie Wen's shoulder, "Sakaski has a bit of a hot temper and a bad personality, but he still has to obey the orders of the World Government."

Of course, after saying this, not only the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but Kizaru himself didn't quite believe it, but he had to show such an attitude to appease Xie Wen and the others.

While he was saying these words, he winked at Xie Wen through his sunglasses and squeezed Xie Wen's shoulders hard.

Xie Wen: "..."

How should I put it? He didn't know whether Kizaru did this on purpose for him to see, or if he really used this method to remind himself because of Sanji.

Anyway, his behavior seemed quite nonsensical to Xie Wen.

Except for Moria, the fat otaku whose strength has declined significantly, everyone else is a master who has mastered the Observation Haki, and Kizaru's little tricks cannot be hidden from others at all.

"Okay, Brother Xie Wen, I won't bother you anymore."

Since the cat, or to be more exact, Sanji-nyan, was not there, Kizaru did not plan to stay any longer. He waved to Xie Wen and prepared to leave.

Aokiji next to him sighed helplessly again...

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Xie Wen about Robin.

Although Xie Wen has stood up to Kaido and Akainu for Robin, this does not mean that he really regards Robin as a companion. After all, if he has ambitions for the main text of history, he will not give in.

So Kuzan actually wanted to see if he could find out more through further contact with Xie Wen.

But after what Sakaski did, and the fact that their previous meeting was not pleasant... Kuzan felt that Xie Wen would most likely not be able to talk to him calmly again.

However, he was not particularly disappointed. After all, judging from Xie Wen's performance, the possibility that he was an ambitious person was relatively low. It was just that he encountered accidents twice in a row when he wanted to contact Xie Wen, which made Aokiji feel more or less depressed.

Tsk! That guy Sakaski always causes trouble!

After looking at Xie Wen deeply, Aokiji, knowing that he had missed another opportunity, followed Kizaru and left.

“咈咈咈咈咈… I didn’t expect that you have such a good relationship with the admiral of the navy. You are indeed the most special one among the Seven Warlords of the Sea.”

Doflamingo narrowed his eyes, and his words and actions seemed to indicate that he wanted to isolate Xie Wen from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

However, Jinbei and Hawkeye, who were sitting next to Xie Wen, did not show any reaction. It was obvious that this little trick could not fool them at all.

Tian Yasha, who failed in his attempt to sow discord, was not disappointed. He was just giving it a try. If he could succeed, it would be the best. If he failed, he would just keep the same situation. In any case, he would not lose anything.

What's more, isn't there a "neutral" Shichibukai?

Doflamingo turned his gaze to Boa Hancock, who had been silent since Kizaru came in.

However, what he didn't know was that compared to Xie Wen, who had embarrassed her, Hancock hated Tian Yasha, a guy who was in the slave business, even more.

Of course, Hancock would not stand on Xie Wen's side just because of this.

"Humph! Boring man!"

Hancock raised her head high, ignoring all the male Shichibukai present, and found a place to sit on her pet snake. Then she said to a navy officer in a bossy manner: "I'm thirsty! Bring me something to drink!"

The navy, who had long been fascinated by the empress, immediately brought over all kinds of drinks. She picked one at random and began to sip it.

Those who knew the Empress's character well did not try to talk to him and make themselves uncomfortable. Although Cavendish had never seen Hancock before, as the "most handsome man in the world", he seemed to have a high resistance to beauty. He just glanced at her a few times and then looked away. He was not as distracted as those sailors.

So, the hall quickly returned to its previous state, except for the addition of Boa Hancock who did not join either side.

After drinking with Jinbei and the others for a while, Xie Wen was the first one to get tired...

He didn't like drinking and there were no cats to pet, so he soon felt a little bored.

"I'm going to go out and walk around, what about you guys?"

Xie Wen put down his glass.

"Not interested in."

Hawkeye shook his head. He was not a heavy drinker and had stopped drinking long before Xie Wen. He just sat there with his arms folded and his eyes closed, and would occasionally say a few words when he was interested.

After thinking about it, Jinbei shook his head and said, "I won't accompany you either."

While answering, he glanced at Doflamingo.

Obviously, he planned to stay and help Xie Wen keep an eye on it.

Although Xie Wen felt that it was unnecessary, he did not reject his kindness. After nodding to Jinpei, he walked out of the mayor's mansion alone and wandered aimlessly on Oberstein Island...

After touring most of this small island, Xie Wen finally confirmed that this was definitely not the place to ambush BIG MOM.

Because of the auras of two of the three admirals, they have disappeared, leaving only the fastest Kizaru. Apart from them, the auras of the navy left on the island are relatively ordinary. Not to mention Marineford, even the SHIELD forces and the G-5 branch have a higher aura intensity than here.

Excluding Kizaru, Xie Wen and other Seven Warlords of the Sea, this place is at best at the level of a stronger branch of the Four Seas.

So, this is just a smoke screen?

When you think about it this way, things start to make a little more sense.

Putting aside Xie Wen, the Shichibukai who is not a pirate, the trust of the other Shichibukai in the navy is not high. Whitebeard's battle at Marineford was an open one, so there was naturally no need to hide it from them. However, this ambush on BIG MOM requires a covert operation, and the previous high-profile approach seems inappropriate.

Since there was no cat to pet, Xie Wen was bored so he spent a little more time thinking about it...

They are most likely there to serve as smokescreens and reinforcements. The real ambush on BIG·MOM should be on other islands, but most likely not too far away from them. Only after BIG·MOM falls into the trap will they go out to join the encirclement or cut off their retreat.

Xie Wen reviewed his speculation in his mind and felt that he was probably right.

In order to verify his idea, he took out the Den Den Mushi and called Klee, but as he expected, the signal was blocked. In other words, they could no longer pass on the message.

but……

Xie Wen then took out a tuning fork-shaped antenna and placed it on the shell of the Den Den Mushi.

How could it be possible that these two scientific research cats, Huiyuan Meow and Meow Erya, had not studied the magical creature and "digital product" of Den Den Mushi? Not to mention that in the strange climate and geography of the Grand Line, there are also situations where signal interference occurs, so a long time ago, Meow Erya tinkered with a device to enhance the signal of Den Den Mushi.

"Brother Xie Wen~Keli misses you, meow!"

Soon, the cute voice of the little puppet was heard from the Den Den Mushi that was equipped with an antenna.
