I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

The uninhabited island that Xie Wen mentioned could not gather magnetic energy. It was just one of the many small islands that served as relay stations in the Grand Line. It was not too far from the Machinery Island, and they did not encounter any bad weather along the way, so the two ships arrived and docked quickly.

"Ahahahaha! You must be Xie Wen from Blue Star, I've wanted to meet you for a long time!"

After everyone got off the ship, Shanks, probably to ease the embarrassment, said politely in a very stiff way, "I heard that you also know Uncle Rayleigh. He was our vice captain!"

"Well, when I was in the East China Sea, I killed a fishman pirate who had saved his life before, so he came to fight me in the Sabaody Archipelago. If Vice Admiral Garp hadn't arrived later, I would have ended up in a miserable situation."

Xie Wen deliberately put on a stern face and looked at Shanks coldly.

And he wasn't lying. At that time, his strength was much worse than it is now. If he continued to fight, he would most likely be beaten up by Rayleigh...

Well, Xie Wen still doesn’t know that he was almost successful in becoming an old man.

But no matter what the situation was at the time, as soon as Xie Wen said this, the atmosphere between the two sides immediately became more awkward.

“…Ha, hahahaha, so that’s how it is?”

Shanks tried hard to keep a smile on his face, and after a few dry laughs, he really didn't know what to do next. He could only keep winking at Ben Beckman beside him, hoping that he could come out to save the situation.

However, even Beckman was a little confused at this time. He accidentally exposed Xie Wen's whereabouts before, but he finally made a connection and it went wrong. How could he save him? !

At this moment, the Red Hair Pirates' sniper Jesus Bu stood up.

"Oh?! So you've been to the East China Sea? I wonder if you've ever been to a place called Xibro Village. That's my hometown."

"Sibro Village?" Xie Wen pretended to recall, and then deliberately revealed a hint of realization, "You are the pirate father that Usopp mentioned."

Klee on his shoulder also cooperated by pulling his ear and asked, "Brother Xie Wen, are you talking about the brother with the long nose?"

(=w=)

"Eh? Have you seen my son?!"

Jesus Bu asked excitedly: "He must have become a man too, right?!"

However, Xie Wen decisively poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Why do you think so?" Xie Wen sneered and said, "Usopp's mother fell seriously ill when he was very young. In order to make her happy, Usopp lied every day that pirates were coming..."

"…So, now he can do nothing except lie. It's just that the villagers of Xibro Village are very kind and help him from time to time. Otherwise, I think he would have starved to death long ago."

Xie Wen told Jesus Bu about Usopp's current situation without exaggeration or concealment, and sneered again: "So, as a completely irresponsible father, what confidence do you have to think that Usopp can grow up to be a man in this environment?"

"O-Ouch..."

After hearing about Usopp's experience, Shirahoshi's eyes instantly became wet with sympathy, and then she glared at Jesus with disgust: "A person like you doesn't deserve to be called a father!"

Shirahoshi, who has been loved and protected by her family since childhood, could never imagine that there was such an irresponsible father in the world.

"People who abandon their children at will shouldn't live in this world!"

Baby-5, who was abandoned by his own parents, was full of disgust and wanted to rush up and stab Jesus to death with a knife.

Robin had a complicated expression on her face, because Jesus' behavior reminded her of her equally irresponsible mother.

Jesus looked ashamed.

"I guess you've never sent any letters or money back to your wife and son, right? If you had sent money, maybe your wife's illness could have been cured. Even if you just sent a letter, if your mood improved, your physical condition would have improved, meow."

(In)

Huiyuan Miao stood on Xie Wen's shoulder, looking down at Jesus Bu with his eyes slanted.

The other cats also looked at Jesus with contempt.

The shame on Jesus Bu's face became more and more intense, and he didn't even dare to look up and look at Xie Wen and the others.

Of course, no matter how ashamed I feel, I will never regret it. After all, people in the pirate world are basically like this. For the so-called freedom and dreams, they can abandon everything. But when it comes to "family", these people can also give up everything...

The most typical example is the group of guys in the Whitebeard Pirates.

As for Shanks, he was even more embarrassed because he was the one who took Jesus away.

Moreover, seeing that Xie Wen knew Jesus Bu's son, he was planning to mention Luffy to see if he could open the topic, but after hearing what Xie Wen said, he was not sure whether it was a good idea to mention Luffy at this time.

"But...Usopp never hated you. On the contrary, he was proud of you as his father."

After Xie Wen despised Jesus Bu, he changed the subject.

Who made the people in this world be like this? And this was someone else's family affair, and he had no right to comment, so he just told Jesus everything about Usopp without bias.

Unexpectedly, after these words were spoken, Jesus Bu, who had been able to hold back his anger, instantly broke down. He fell to his knees on the ground and burst into tears.

“Uooohhh! Usopp! Bankina! I’m so sorry for you guys!”

After crying hard, Jesus stood up, walked to Xie Wen and bowed deeply: "Thank you for bringing me the news about Usopp."

After saying that, he ran towards the Red Verse without looking back. Probably because he was reminded by Huibara Meowth, he went to write a letter to his son.

"Fortunately I am not married..."

Laqi Lu took a bite of the big bone that he never let go of and muttered softly.

Moreover, there was a group of pirates nodding along with them.

"Ahem...Xie Wen, actually, this is the case." Shanks saw that the atmosphere between the two sides had finally eased, and he quickly stated his purpose, fearing that something would go wrong later. "I came to you because I want to discuss something with you. I hope you can give me some face."

"So, is the phrase 'give me a favor' a common catchphrase in Xihai?" Xie Wen rolled his eyes and couldn't help but complain.

"Ah?" Shanks was stunned for a moment, then answered honestly: "I didn't pay much attention, but although the West Sea is my hometown, I didn't actually grow up in the West Sea."

"Your hometown? Isn't it..."

Xie Wen raised his eyebrows, then mouthed "Saint Mary Joy" to Shanks.

Although Shanks has a good temper, he is still one of the Four Emperors after all. It is not a wise move to provoke him with such an important secret, but Xie Wen just couldn't help wanting to play a little trick...

Well, I must have been infected by those little cats on the ship.

"!!!"

Shanks' expression instantly became serious, and at the same time, a much stronger domineering color surged out of his body. Some pirates in the Red Hair Pirates fainted, but on Xie Wen's side, only Baby-5 fainted...

There was no way. She had joined the investigation team for too short a time, and the domineering color resistance training arranged by Xie Wen had just entered the second stage.

As for the latest summoned Touma Cat, although he is not even a follower cat, with his bad luck, he has encountered more ancient dragons than Huamei Cat. He has long been accustomed to the stunning attacks such as Dragon's Might.

(=`w=)

After Shanks activated his Conqueror's Haki, Hua Mei Miao immediately activated her Conqueror's Haki as well. Black lightning appeared out of nowhere, and the clouds above everyone's heads were split in two, as if the sky was cracking.

After looking at Hua Mei Miao with surprise, whose fur stood on end, Shanks calmed down and slowly put away his domineering look, then stared at Xie Wen with a complicated expression.

"How did you know about this?"

Xie Wen, who had been teased for several times, finally regained his usual composure. He no longer used perfunctory answers like "I have a special source of information" to dismiss Shanks, but instead pulled out Big Bear as a shield.

"I know Bartholomew Big Bear. He was one of the survivors of the Valley of the Gods. Moreover, most of the surviving slaves were rescued by him using the Meat Ball Fruit."

Although this answer was not directly related to Shanks' question, it indirectly told him that Xie Wen knew something about the God Valley incident.

"I see..." Shanks nodded and did not continue to ask. Then he thanked Wen very seriously and said, "For me, my hometown is the West Sea, and only the West Sea."
