I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"Wahahaha! Captain, you lost miserably!"

"He's a smart man who knows when to quit."

"Oh! It's rare to hear such good comments from the vice-captain!"

"Hehe~ That red-haired uncle is going to be pissed off by Xie Wen kissing you, meow~"

(=w=)

"Brother Xie Wen is the best, meow!"

(=`=)

"Hmph! You're just being clever, but you did a great job, meow!"

(=`へ=)

Although Xie Wen admitted defeat voluntarily, neither Shanks's pirate companions nor the members of the Felynx Investigation Team thought that Shanks won.

Shanks himself thinks so too...

"Hahahaha! I've been tricked!"

Shanks scratched his red hair, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Although he felt a little aggrieved at the beginning, with Shanks' carefree personality, he would never take such a small matter to heart, nor would he force Xie Wen to continue fighting.

Xie Wen did this because he had anticipated this.

If it was someone like Garp, an old man who doesn't care about his behavior, or Hawkeye, a ruthless and taciturn guy, they would definitely not let themselves be fooled so easily.

After the fight, Shanks wanted to follow the pirate custom and invite Xie Wen and the others to have a banquet together, but was stopped by Xie Wen.

"Do you have time next?" Xie Wen pointed at Hua Mei Miao beside him, "If possible, can you give some advice to my cat..."

Although Hua Meimiao had previously referred to Rayleigh's performance in battle and Xie Wen's "inside information" and figured out the technique of Jianwensha on her own, it would be helpful to her if there was an authentic Jianwensha to confirm each other.

There is also the move of Divine Evasion. Although from the effect, it only uses the power of Tyranny to increase the speed to the extreme, it is very difficult to actually achieve it. Anyway, Hua Mei Miao has been studying it for so long but has not succeeded...

Unless Link Time is turned on, a version of "Xiao Wuxiang Gong" that is similar in form but not in spirit can be created.

"...Of course, I won't let you teach me in vain. I can exchange it with you for other things." After Xie Wen expressed his thoughts to Shanks, he added.

However, Shanks laughed and patted him on the back, "Isn't it just teaching fighting skills? It's not a big deal, and it doesn't require any compensation!"

Shanks's generosity was expected, but Xie Wen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Is this really okay? This is a technique left by the Pirate King, right?"

"Huh? How did you know?" Shanks asked in surprise.

Xie Wen rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Didn't I tell you before? I had a fight with Rayleigh in the Sabaody Archipelago... In fact, if it weren't for that fishman pirate, I would have asked him to teach me... He actually likes my cat quite a bit, but he doesn't like me."

Speaking of this, Xie Wen couldn't help but curl his lips.

Because if you really think about it, Xiaoba actually died at the hands of Meowjuro, but considering the behavior of the follower cat, it is reasonable for Bluestar to pay the price.

"Hahaha, that's what Mr. Rayleigh is like. In fact, even if you ask him directly, he will most likely teach you."

Although Shanks didn't know much about Hachi, he knew Rayleigh. From Xie Wen's words, he roughly guessed that the other party did not blame Xie Wen, or did not think he was wrong, but was just unable to lose face because of his friendship with the fishman.

After explaining for Rayleigh, Shanks hurried over to Huameow in high spirits, "Come to think of it, when I was on the Oro Jackson, I also had a cat-fur companion."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Hua Mei Miao's head, but Lord Xiang Feihu dodged him with a look of disgust.

Xie Wen curled his lips, "Cat Viper, right? We've seen it in Zou."

"Really?!" Shanks, who failed to pet the cat, didn't care. He turned around with a look of surprise, "That's right! There are so many Minks on your ship, it's impossible that you haven't been to Zou... If I had known, I would have mentioned Cat Viper first instead of Mr. Rayleigh!"

Shanks slapped his thigh in annoyance.

"Ah, they were dissatisfied with my evaluation of Kozuki Oden, so they were beaten up by my cat and me respectively, and only then did they reluctantly agree with my point of view."

Xie Wen looked at Shanks with a half-smile, and when embarrassment appeared on his face again, he said slowly: "So, why don't you mention Luffy and Ace? After all, I taught them Armament Haki for a while... although that was a deal I made with Mr. Garp."

"So you know Luffy too!" Shanks patted Xie Wen on the back again, and then explained: "I just saw what happened to Jesus Bu before, and I'm a little worried..."

Xie Wen rolled his eyes: "You are not his father, and you even saved his life. What is there to worry about?"

"Yeah..." Shanks scratched his hair and suddenly realized, "Wait! Since you knew that Luffy and I knew each other, why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Of course it's because of bad taste...

"Of course it's because I don't want you to teach my cat because of these relationships." Xie Wen said righteously: "Even though you don't think this is a big deal, I can't think so. After all, it is the fighting skills of the Pirate King. I can't accept this kind of gift with peace of mind."

"Hahahaha! You are so polite! We are all men of the sea, there is no need to worry about so many things!"

After being stunned for a moment, Shanks patted Xie Wen on the back again and said with a hearty smile: "Besides, I am Red Hair Shanks, one of the Four Emperors. Is there anything I can't get? I appreciate your kindness!"

"The whereabouts of Roger's son."

Xie Wen said calmly, causing Shanks' laughter to stop.

"What did you say?! Captain Roger's child is still alive?!"

Shanks grabbed Xie Wen's arm in surprise and joy, but there was still a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Well, actually I have already told Rayleigh about this news, but after thinking about it, you should also be interested in this matter."

"Of course! Tell me now!"

Shanks urged impatiently, "Isn't it just God Avoidance and Observation Killing? As long as you want to learn, I can teach you all my fighting skills!"

"In fact, you should have seen that person before," Xie Wen continued slowly, "He is Luffy's sworn brother Ace. After Roger surrendered himself, he entrusted his child to Mr. Garp to take care of..."

After explaining Ace's situation to Shanks in detail, Xie Wen patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's a pity that you met Luffy first, otherwise the straw hat would be more suitable for Ace."

"No..." Shanks shook his head after digesting the good news, "I have indeed met Ace, but I still think that Luffy is more suitable for the straw hat."

Huh?

Xie Wen raised an eyebrow. So compared to Roger and Ace, the biological father and son, are the "Joey Boys" more similar to each other?

This situation reminded him of the two brothers Ashura and Indra who were constantly reincarnating on the set next door.
