I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Yixiao's shocked expression also confirmed that he was indeed from Wano Country...

That's right, with his ancient speaking habits, wearing kimonos and wooden clogs all year round, and the supreme sword forged by the Fugetsu family, no one would believe that he is not from Wano Country.

"Uncle, you are from Wano Country..." Xie Wen showed an expression of as expected, and then asked directly: "This is what I said I wanted to ask you before. Uncle, you are quite powerful, why don't you talk about Kozuki Oden like other people from Wano Country and the two fur tribes of Zou."

"Kozuki Oden? The prince with a bad reputation?"

Yixiao's description of Kozuki Oden left Xie Wen speechless...

"When did you leave Wano Country? Have you never been back since then?"

"When I was in my teens, I followed the Fengyue family's fleet to the sea. Unfortunately, we encountered a storm on the way and I was separated from everyone else. I had no way to return, so I gradually gave up the idea of ​​returning... The gambling in Wano Country... uh... entertainment options are really too few."

Did you mean gambling method?

Xie Wen looked at Yi Xiao with empty eyes and smiled as he was touching his head in embarrassment.

However, if this is the case, it is more reasonable. When Issho left Wano Country, Kaido was still following Rocks. After that, he was just a civilian and might have gone blind. Naturally, it would be difficult for him to know the situation in Wano Country, which had almost no contact with the outside world.

And when he became the admiral and learned about the situation in Wano Country, he was also unable to arbitrarily deal with Kaido, who had become one of the Four Emperors.

Wait...something seems to be wrong...

After Xie Wen groped for a while, he suddenly discovered the blind spot.

"That's not right. Didn't Kozuki Oden break off the father-son relationship with Kozuki Sukiyaki because he kept clamoring to go to sea? How can you and the Fugetsu family organize a fleet to go to sea?"

"As for the specific situation, I was still young at the time and didn't quite understand it, but I vaguely remember that the Fengyue Family went out to sea legally after obtaining the general's permission."

Well, this makes sense. The situation of the heir to a country is always different from that of other people. And if no one in Wano Country is allowed to go out to the sea, there will be no Shimotsuki Village and Zoro in the East China Sea.

"Sir, can you tell me about Wano Country? What's going on with Kaido?"

After answering Xie Wen's doubts, Yi Xiao asked back impatiently.

Although his memories of Wano Country have become vague, it is his hometown after all, and according to Xie Wen, the situation seems to be very bad.

"This matter must first start from when Kozuki Oden was driven out of the Flower Capital..."

Although Xie Wen did not like Kozuki Oden, he did not deny his contribution in integrating Kuri. He told Yixiao everything that had happened in Wano Country in the past twenty years, without any of his own bias.

"...A prophecy?" Yixiao sighed, shook his head and murmured, "This is probably the only hope they can see. If there is really no other way, who would pin their hopes on an illusory prophecy?"

Perhaps out of admiration for the loyalty of the Nine Red Scabbards, Yixiao took the initiative to find excuses for them.

But his performance made Xie Wen somewhat unsure of the situation...

Can't it be? When Yixiao left Wano Country, wasn't Kozuki Oden's reputation very bad? Just hearing about his deeds can get you infected with the virus?

With such doubts, Xie Wen asked: "So, what do you think of Kozuki Oden?"

"Mida-sama?"

Xie Wen's heart skipped a beat when Yixiao addressed Kozuki Oden, but fortunately he quickly said, "Judging from his style of doing things, he should be a heroic person, but as the heir to Wano Country, he is too naive and immature. If Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi hadn't existed, His Highness Oden might have slowly learned to become a good general. Unfortunately..."

He shook his head with some regret.

Although most of the comments are still positive, Yixiao's opinion of Kozuki Oden is much more normal than Xie Wen expected.

As expected of someone who left Wano Country and traveled around the world when he was in his teens, his horizons must be much broader...

No, Kozuki Oden and Cat Viper also followed Whitebeard and Roger around the Grand Line, but they didn’t seem to have broadened their horizons much, did they?

Sure enough, is it because Ikki has been away from Wano Country for too long, he has no filter towards the Kozuki family, and he has never had contact with Kozuki Oden, so he didn't get infected with the Kozuki virus?

Just when Xie Wen was habitually complaining about Kozuki Oden, Huiyuan Meow, who was sitting next to him, put down the snacks in his hand and nodded his head with praise...

"I thought you would be like those idiots, thinking that Kozuki Oden and his unknown son are the saviors of Wano Country, meow. Now it seems that you are quite normal in terms of intelligence, meow."

(=`=)

Even if this black-bellied guy praises someone, it doesn't sound like he's saying something nice.

"How can you talk like that? It's so rude!"

It was okay for himself normally, but when dealing with outsiders, Xie Wen would still pay attention to the cats' words and behaviors. He decisively pressed the little kitten's head and apologized to Yixiao. Although the little kitten pouted, it still did as he was told obediently.

But after that, she immediately held Xie Wen's hand and started biting it hard.

"They probably want to legitimately take back Wano Country from Kaido, so they have been sticking to the name of Kozuki. And as retainers of Lord Oden, it is only natural for them to insist that Kozuki is the orthodox one."

After waving his hand to indicate that it was okay, Yixiao still defended the Nine Red Scabbards.

No, no, no, that’s because you don’t know how powerful the Oden virus is!

Xie Wen complained wildly in his mind.

That group of people were not just restoring their country under the banner of Kozuki, but they really regarded the prodigal Kozuki Oden and the pervert Kozuki Momonosuke as their saviors!

Even in Xie Wen's opinion, the attitude of the Nine Red Scabbards towards the Kozuki family is no different from CP0 towards the Celestial Dragons.

"Thank you for your information, I will not bother you any further."

Yixiao stood up, bowed deeply to Xie Wen, then left with a heavy heart.

Obviously, his mind is now completely focused on Wano Country occupied by Kaido, and he has no time to think about whether there are any loopholes in what Xie Wen said before... He doesn't even have the extra energy to consider joining the navy.

As for whether Yixiao would want to borrow the power of the navy to deal with Kaido in the future, that is not something Xie Wen can control.

However, the navy just gave in to the Four Emperors a while ago. Judging from the fact that Ichisho was able to clearly discern Kozuki Oden's true ability, he should have realized that even if he joined the navy, he would be helpless against Kaido, right?

Anyway, Xie Wen has done everything he can. If Yixiao still joins the navy in the future, there is nothing he can do, right? At best, it is just the end of the world line, not a big problem.

Moreover, as long as Yixiao did not push for the plan to abolish the Shichibukai system as in the original work, they were still allies in a sense.

In fact, Xie Wen also considered taking Yixiao with him when he went to Wano Country to cause trouble, just like he did with Doflamingo. However, when he thought of the "big guys" that Klee and the others were tinkering with, this idea quickly died out...

Stopping thinking about all that, Xie Wen and the cats packed up the snacks and drinks in front of them and continued to wander around the island.
