I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

It shouldn't be... such a coincidence, right?

Xie Wen looked at the Den Den Mushi in front of him that was making a "Bulu Bulu" sound, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

But when I think of Klee's usual good luck...

Most likely Uncle Cody is gone.

With a complicated sigh, Xie Wen reached out and picked up the microphone.

Sure enough, two familiar mustaches quickly grew on Den Den Mushi's face, and a pair of eyes stood upright, and it turned into a "good old man" who looked easy to talk to.

"Xie Wen, have you been brought out from Wufeng now?"

Cody skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point. Although it was a question, his tone was very affirmative.

Xie Wen had anticipated this. After all, the first thing he did after landing on the island was not to buy a permanent pointer, but to send the members of the Baburin Pirates, who had been tortured by Haibara Meowth's potion and could only say "Aba Aba", to the naval base on this island in exchange for a bounty.

Therefore, it is only natural that the Navy and CP know where they are now.

"Yes, uncle, you called me to settle the reward for the last mission with me?"

"..."

Cody was silent for a moment, then sighed quietly: "Forget it, just wait on Chain Island first, our people will send the Power Rock to you as soon as possible."

Chain Island is the name of the island where Xie Wen and his friends are now. The situation of this island is somewhat similar to that of Changhuan Island. It is also made up of several small islands connected together. However, it is not neatly surrounded by a circle like Changhuan Island, and the roads are not blocked due to tidal problems. The overall look is like a mess of iron chains.

There is no problem in waiting on Chain Island for the CP agents to deliver the Power Rock, but...

"What did you mean by sighing and saying 'forget it' just now, Uncle Cody?"

Xie Wen always felt that he was despised by the other party, but he had no evidence.

"Nothing, I was just told by my superiors to use your previous lack of effort to deduct part of your reward, but I suddenly felt that it was meaningless, so forget it."

Cody sighed again and replied.

Xie Wen opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but heard Cody speak again: "Don't bring up Akainu. We know exactly what happened. Even if Akainu hadn't happened, you wouldn't have tried your best to deal with the Big Mom Pirates... We actually expected this a long time ago."

Seeing that Uncle Cody had said so much, Xie Wen was too lazy to continue pretending.

In fact, Xie Wen had already guessed what the World Government was thinking... or rather, the think tanks of the investigation team had already analyzed it for Xie Wen. Theoretically speaking, there wasn't really any big problem with their plan, except that they had overlooked this guy named Tian Yasha.

Thinking of this, Xie Wen said decisively: "Come to think of it, the 'Sky Comet Dragon' we were on at the beginning seemed to have been tampered with by Doflamingo."

"Sky Comet Dragon? Is that what you call that kind of sky ship?"

"..."

I didn’t expect that this was the first thing Uncle Cody paid attention to!

Xie Wen nodded speechlessly, then realized that the other party couldn't see him, and said "um" to confirm.

As for the question of Tian Yasha...

"Actually... Doflamingo also told us something similar, but he said you were the one who tampered with the ship because you were dissatisfied with the navy stealing your technology."

"… Bah! Our Toot-Toot Advance has already gone through several iterations, and the design drawings in Ace Pago's hands are outdated! I have nothing better to do than to bother about this! And if I really want to bother about this, why don't I just ask you for some technology in exchange? There's no point in destroying a technology you've already mastered!"

Xie Wen was another one who didn't expect——

I didn't expect that Doflamingo, this treacherous villain, would actually turn the tables. Looks like we have to put the trip to Dressrosa on the agenda.

Previously, because Trafalgar Law had not yet entered the Grand Line, Xie Wen was not so eager to cause trouble for Doflamingo, but now...

After finishing the trip to Drum Island, we will go to Dressrosa and destroy the lair of Tenyasha!

"Don't get excited. We don't completely believe what he said."

Uncle Cody misunderstood why Xie Wen was angry and comforted him in a calm voice.

So you still have some faith in it?

Xie Wen curled his lips, hearing the other party's subtext, but was not surprised.

Because putting aside the fact that Doflamingo, that bastard, framed him, his actions against the "Sky Comet Dragon Subspecies" were more reasonable than those against Sky Yasha.

His ship technology was stolen, he was the one who had a conflict with Akainu, and he had the best relationship with BIG MOM among the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Plus, Doflamingo is a former Celestial Dragon...

Thinking about it this way, Xie Wen felt that it was a very rare and even incredible thing that CP only partially believed him and did not come to cause trouble for him directly.

At the same time, I also realized more clearly how clever Doflamingo's frame-up was...

Sure enough, we still have to kill this guy as soon as possible!

Xie Wen once again strengthened his determination.

"Why don't you believe him completely?" After figuring it out, Xie Wen couldn't help but ask curiously, "To be honest, I just thought about it and I think it's more reasonable for me to do something than for Doflamingo."

"Because you and Doflamingo don't have a good relationship."

Uncle Cody spoke the truth, but then added: "In addition, Admiral Kizaru and the navy on the ship at the time said that you seven warlords did not take any action after boarding the ship. Instead, Doflamingo was walking around on the ship. So from this point of view, he is actually more suspicious..."

"But don't expect us to cause trouble for him."

"A former Celestial Dragon. I know that."

Xie Wen curled his lips in disdain.

"Ahem..." Cody obviously didn't want to continue talking about the Celestial Dragons, so he changed the subject abruptly: "Anyway, this is what happened. You wait on Chain Island, and the Power Rock will be delivered within a week."

"Wait," Xie Wen stopped Cody who was about to hang up the phone, "What if you succeed in 'deducting' a portion of my reward? Will it help you?"

"Of course I have," Cody answered honestly without hiding it from Xie Wen. "Although the Power Rock itself is not a particularly great thing for the World Government, the key to this matter is whether I can withhold your reward... If the higher-ups knew that you voluntarily gave up the reward because of our friendship, they would think more highly of me."

"understood."

Xie Wen nodded. It seemed that he still had some weight in the eyes of the World Government.

So he said decisively: "Then just send two pieces of power rock over. Anyway, I only wanted two pieces at first."

"…Then why did you ask me for three dollars before?!"

Uncle Cody's tone seemed a little broken.

However, Xie Wen replied as a matter of course: "Why not take advantage of it if you can? I just wanted to bargain at first, but who knew that you would agree so easily."

"..."

Uncle Cody on the opposite side fell silent again.

After a while...

"Click."

Seeing that Naruto suddenly changed back to his original appearance, Xie Wen put down the microphone in dissatisfaction.

He hung up without saying a word. These CP agents are so rude!
