I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

On the other side, Xie Wen and his party followed Monet and arrived at the bullfighting arena built next to the royal palace.

The shape of this arena is basically the same as the ancient Roman Colosseum on Earth, except that the one on Earth is oval, while the one in Dressrosa is perfectly circular.

In addition, due to the exaggerated personal strength in the world of pirates, the area of ​​the bullfighting arena is much larger. In order to make the competition more bloody and exciting, Doflamingo also placed a large number of small fighting fish in the sea water around the ring. They will chase the losers who fall out of the ring.

According to normal procedures, the contestants should first go to the battle preparation room in the arena to choose the equipment they need and wait inside to go on stage.

But of course Xie Wen and his friends didn't need to go through so much trouble, and were taken directly to the VIP seats on the top floor.

At this moment, a very ordinary match was going on in the ring. Xie Wen glanced around casually and found that he didn't recognize the players and their strength was average, so he withdrew his gaze. Instead, a few little cats and Bai Xing, who had been fighting a lot recently, were watching the fight in the ring with great interest.

"Please wait here for a moment. It will take some time to arrange the competition. I will have someone bring some refreshments over first."

Monet bowed slightly and then left the VIP seat.

"Sharmi, I'll trouble you from now on."

Xie Wen rubbed the little forest cat's head.

"I got it, meow~"

(=w=)

Xia Ermi narrowed her eyes and rubbed Xie Wen's palm, then turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared.

As the fastest cat in the investigation team, with the widest range of observation Haki, and who has another kind of "observation Haki" in addition to Konghun's, Sharmi is naturally the most suitable cat to implement Xie Wen's plan.

As for how she would hide it from Doflamingo after she left, Xie Wen, who had already discussed it with Hua Meimiao and the others when they decided to go to Dressrosa, was naturally well prepared.

As Sharmi left, Meowerya took out a palm-sized "Shami" from her bag, and then with the help of Suika's ability, it became the size of a normal Felynx.

To put it bluntly, this "Charmi" is actually a guardian in the shape of a Felyne. Due to the tight time schedule, it doesn't even have much combat power. It only knows some basic movements like licking fur, rubbing, wagging its tail, and shaking its ears. But it's enough to be used as a disguise for a fight in a ring that isn't necessary.

Moreover, in order to prevent the mechanical creatures from being detected by the Observation Haki, Meowerya also added a "breath" function that is of no use to them and would even hinder them.

Unless one has a special observation Haki like Klee and Shirahoshi, or someone who has practiced to the top level like Katakuri, or someone like Xie Wen who is more inclined to sense the intensity of aura and is very familiar with Sharmi, it is basically impossible to discover that this "Shami" is a fake.

In addition, "Xairmi" itself is also a means of insurance and communication.

Although the possibility of Sharmi failing is almost zero, if she accidentally gets hit by Sucrose's ability and makes Xie Wen forget the existence of Sharmi, the cat-like "Shami" in front of him can also remind him that there is a cat in the team that has been turned into a toy.

The key to Cang Lanxing's survival in the world is stability.

At the same time, "Xairmi" has a built-in intercom that does not need to be placed on the Den Den Mushi, allowing Xairmi to know the situation of Xie Wen and others at any time, and contact Xie Wen and others after completing all arrangements.

This would prevent the situation where all the toys suddenly turn back into humans while Xie Wen and the others are still playing Davy-Back-Fight with Tian Yasha and are unable to react in time.

"Thank you, dear~"

The voice of Sharmi came from inside Sharmi's body.

"Yeah, I'm listening."

Xie Wen touched "Xairmi" and gently tapped its head with his fingertips.

After confirming that there was no problem with the call, Xia Ermi temporarily cut off the sound on her end and continued to implement the plan that everyone had discussed.

Not long after Xie Wen replaced Sharmi with "Sharmyn", Doflamingo walked in with his men and the three CP0s.

Xie Wen took a quick look and saw that only Shatang and Torrebol, who was responsible for protecting her, were not there.

In addition...

Why does Doflamingo look like he's in a bad mood?

Xie Wen tilted his head in confusion.

When he heard that they were going to play Davy-Back-Fight, wasn't he ecstatic?

Doflamingo met Shevin's probing gaze and his face turned even darker.

However, he obviously had no intention of explaining, and sat down on the other side of the VIP seats with his subordinates. Then, waiters and maids brought large amounts of food, drinks and fine wine.

At the same time, as the fight on the ring ended, the host of the arena was announcing to the audience in an excited voice in the center of the arena: "Big news! Today's arena will insert a special match - a Davy-Back-Fight between our King and another Shichibukai "Blue Star" Xie Wen!!!"

"..."

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh--!!!"

After a brief silence, the entire arena erupted in thunderous cheers, and outside the arena, countless people and "toys" who heard the news rushed over here.

Even Shirahoshi and the cats were infected by the atmosphere and started howling together.

Only Trafalgar Law curled his lips in indignation: "Obviously, I am the 'general'..."

“咈咈咈咈咈… The stage has been set, so let’s begin our game.”

Doflamingo, who had calmed down, looked at Xie Wen and said, "How about you open the show? The audience is waiting for the appearance of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"Okay."

Xie Wen nodded indifferently.

Of course he saw Doflamingo's intention to let him be the first to appear, and the reason was not difficult to guess, but Xie Wen himself also wanted to be the first to appear.

Because he wanted to buy time for Sharmi, and also planned to get rid of a few more of Doflamingo's men.

and so……

"If it's a one-on-one fight, your subordinates are not enough for me to fight. You should send a few more people out so that I can have more fun."

Xie Wen tilted his head and said provocatively.

The rules of Davy-Back-Fight are very free, and even the events of the competition do not necessarily have to be based on fighting, so as long as both parties agree, there is no problem in fighting one against many.

"Hey, since you are interested, let my subordinates play with you..."

Originally according to Doflamingo's plan, he was going to send Deringer, who had almost embarrassed him before, to be beaten and taught a lesson. But after hearing Xie Wen's request, the suspicious Doflamingo began to wonder if Xie Wen wanted to get rid of some difficult opponents for Big Bear in the future.

Although Tian Yasha believed that he only needed to keep one subordinate who was strong enough to deal with Bartholomew Big Bear in the future, and it didn't matter if he gave all the other subordinates to Xie Wen to vent his anger, he didn't want to be completely led by the nose.

So without waiting for Xie Wen to speak, he took the initiative and called out a few of his men.

"Derringer, Senior, Rao, Mahabais, and Diamante, please don't let Lord Canglanxing down."

"Yes! Young Master!" x5

The five people whose names were called stepped forward and responded in unison.

"How is it? Are there enough of them?"

"Well... make do with it."

Although he wanted to learn from Master Ye and fight ten of them, but excluding Trebol and Sucrose who did not appear, there were only thirteen cadres around Doflamingo now. He would definitely not agree to fight ten of them.

So Xie Wen didn't choose. He nodded casually and jumped out of the VIP seat window. He jumped in the air with his dancing steps and landed steadily on the stage.

The five people led by Diamanti followed closely and entered the ring in their own different ways.

Xie Wen first pulled out the fresh knife Bai Nagi, then put it back after thinking for a while, and then took out a strangely shaped longbow from his waist bag.

If there are old players of Menghanwang here, they will find that the bow in Xie Wen's hand is very similar to the Ceratopsian Bow in the game, except that the two horns of the Ceratopsian used to form the bow arms in the game have been replaced by two huge conch shells similar to bull horns.

In addition, where Xie Wen was holding on was actually a small shell.

Kitty Bow...

This bow with an unforgettable name was something that Meowlya tinkered with when she was helping Klee and Meowx develop the "Big Guy" some time ago. The two conchs that serve as the bow arms and the shells on the handles are actually empty shells that she modified.

The shell on the handle is an impact shell that serves as an activator, while the two conch shells on the bow arm are the fire shell that stores Klee's fire, and the lightning shell that stores Sharmi's lightning.

It is precisely because of this that the naming rights of this bow were snatched away by these two little cats.

Xie Wen did struggle...

The result was, of course, an unexpected failure.

If he didn't want to make his behavior of stalling for time look more natural, he would never have used this thing to fight the enemy.

After gently plucking the bowstring, Xie Wen showed a malicious smile to the five guys in front of him...

Well then, let you experience the humiliation of being defeated by the "Cat Baby Bow"!
