I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"Of course it's because of you..."

In the Rip-off Bar, Xia Qi rolled her eyes in annoyance after hearing Xie Wen's question.

"After hearing that you were coming here, the slave traders on the island ran away a few days ago, including some 'part-time' 'merchants'."

After rolling her eyes, Xia Qi patiently explained, "Their departure has resulted in a lack of good items at the auctions in the Sabaody Archipelago in recent days, and as a result, there have been fewer tourists. Instead, those pirates who want to go to the New World must come to the island to rest and coat themselves."

"Tsk! That means... these guys have really come back to life..."

Xie Wen smacked his lips in displeasure.

But he also knew that this situation was inevitable. Even on Earth, human trafficking was still rampant. It was simply unrealistic to completely eliminate slave traders in the pirate world.

So he asked again, "What about the auction house next to tree number one? Is it still there?"

"Still there." Xia Qi nodded, "But they are just like the other slave traders. They closed down a few days ago. You won't be able to find anyone even if you go there."

"Phew! You run really fast!"

Since everyone had fled, Xie Wen naturally had no mood to go and smash the place up. Anyway, there was only an empty shell left there, and even if he smashed it up, it wouldn't cause much damage to Doflamingo...

It is also easy to alert the enemy.

"In that case... let's go to the amusement park!"

Xie Wenchong waved to the little cats including Klee who were munching on snacks, and then led them and Bai Xing, who was again stopped outside the rip-off bar because of his size, to Area 30 where the amusement park was located.

But at this time, Xie Wen suddenly discovered a very important problem...

With Shirahoshi's size, she probably wouldn't be able to enjoy most of the rides in the amusement park, right?

"Ooooooooooo…not fair!"

The giant mermaid princess was crying and pounding the ground in the orz (mermaid version) pose.

Sure enough, just as Xie Wen expected, even though most of the facilities in Shampoo and Magic Park used bubble technology that could adjust the size of the "cockpit", Bai Xing still couldn't experience most of the projects. If it weren't for the bubble technology, she would have been completely destroyed.

But even so, the number of experiences she could have could only be counted on one hand.

"It's not fair! It's not fair! It's so unfair!"

Shirahoshi rarely lost his temper, and the sound of wind breaking when he swung his arms wildly made the amusement park manager nearby turn pale and break out in a cold sweat.

"Lord Cang Lanxing... well... we didn't mean to target Lord Shirahoshi..."

The administrator wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and cautiously approached Xie Wen to defend himself.

Of course, the amusement park could not target Shirahoshi, because before this, there were basically no tourists of other races except humans in the Sabaody Archipelago. Other races would come to this island, and in most cases they had only one identity - slaves.

So Xie Wen just waved his hand and didn't make things difficult for the other party.

"Ahem... I can't do anything about this. How about when we get back, you ask King Neptune to build an underwater amusement park near Fishman Island based on this? The bubble technology can be used on Fishman Island, too."

Originally, he just wanted to use this as an excuse to divert Shirahoshi's attention, but as Xie Wen was talking, he suddenly felt that this seemed like a good idea. If he could differentiate himself from the Sabaody Archipelago, he might be able to increase the income of the Ryugu Kingdom, and...

"This should also be helpful in promoting your Fishman Island."

Of course, Xie Wen had no experience in operating an amusement park. Even if it was really built in the future, King Neptune would have to do it himself. However, judging from his ability to govern the country...

Well, I would suggest that he find a more reliable manager when the time comes.

Shirahoshi was about to reject the proposal because it was a waste of money and time, but finally shook his head. "Fishman Island probably doesn't have much energy to do these things right now, but I will still propose it to my father. If we can really build an amusement park of our own, the children of Fishman Island will be very happy, right?"

Bai Xing stopped making a fuss and imagined with a longing look on his face...

In any case, Xie Wen’s original purpose was achieved.

"Well, at worst, I'll bring you to play again after Suika further develops the power of the fruit."

Seeing that Bai Xing had calmed down, Xie Wen walked over and patted her fish tail to comfort her.

In fact, although Suika-nyanow cannot use her abilities to affect creatures other than herself, there are other ways to let Shirahoshi play these amusement facilities -

The transformed creatures can't do it, but they can still let Suika-nyanaw enlarge the facilities in the amusement park to a size that Shirahoshi can use.

There is no need to worry about the power problem. With Klee and Sharmi here, it can still run even if it is enlarged ten times.

However, this way, the amusement park will be very conspicuous, and it might attract troublesome creatures like the Celestial Dragons. Moreover, after being enlarged, it will definitely cause damage to the venue here. Although Xie Wen is not short of money... he can't waste it like this.

Moreover, given Shirahoshi's personality, she probably wouldn't agree to mess up the place just so she could play with these facilities.

Since Shirahoshi couldn't play with them, the kittens who had already experienced it didn't stay in the playground any longer. And Suika and Kaido, who were summoned in the second half of the Grand Line, also said that they would wait to play with Shirahoshi again later...

This moved the "little" mermaid so much that she hugged Kaido, the only cat that was suitable for her body size, and started rubbing against it.

One of the main purposes of Xie Wen and his men landing on the Sabaody Archipelago was to let Shirahoshi play in the amusement park. Now that she can basically not play and the slave traders have all hidden themselves, there is naturally no need for them to stay here any longer.

Xie Wen originally wanted to find Rayleigh to learn from him and see how he had improved recently, but Xia Qi told him that since Rayleigh's whereabouts were exposed last time, he was worried that the navy would come to disturb him, so he had not been back for a long time...

When Xia Qi talked about this, her eyes were full of resentment when she looked at Xie Wen.

Xie Wen: "..."

None of my business!

With Rayleigh's strength, he is not afraid of the navy causing trouble. Moreover, the navy is only dealing with him because they have nothing better to do. Most likely, the old man just wants to go out and have fun, so he uses Xie Wen as an excuse.

After bidding farewell to Xia Qi in silence, Xie Wen and the others boarded the Dudu Sea Dragon and dived towards Fishman Island.

Although the Dudu was controlling the direction of the ship, Xie Wen and his team were not idle either...

Didn't he say before that he would give King Neptune a big surprise? He was currently styling Shirahoshi with the kittens on the ship and instructing her on how to talk when she met Queen Neptune.

Together with Xie Wen, the eccentric Blue Star, and the little cats, Bai Xing not only learned the necessity of resistance, but also learned how to play pranks. So the "little" mermaid not only did not object to what Xie Wen and the others did, but actively cooperated with them.

So, when King Neptune, who missed his daughter, came excitedly with his three sons to greet Xie Wen and the others, what they saw was a White Star wearing a studded leather jacket, a colorful afro, smoky eyes, weird tattoos, and several studs (glued on), with a heavy metal rock style.

Well, this look was designed by Xie Wen based on the makeup of his friend's daughter who went out to play rock music, but the tattoo aspect was despised by Meowx, so Crazy Cat redesigned it.

It does look more uninhibited than the original one, and has a different kind of beauty.

"..."

But it is obvious that King Neptune and the three Shark brothers cannot appreciate this avant-garde design.

"Hey~ Father and brothers! Long time no see!"

Shirahoshi imitated Meowx's usual accent and gave King Neptune and the others the Patton-style salute that Xie Wen had taught her.

"Puff!" x4

"Ah! Boss Xie Wen! Father and Brother Shark Star have all fainted!"

Bai Xing was suddenly panicked because he didn't expect his prank to be so destructive.

Klee was still peeking over and making sarcastic remarks: "Not only did he faint, he also seemed to be foaming at the mouth, meow..."

(=w=)

"Well, maybe it's because they haven't seen Shirahoshi for so long that they're too excited."

Xie Wen talked nonsense with a calm expression.
