I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"Do you know the Sun Pirates?"

After rubbing his chin for a while, Xie Wen suddenly asked this question out of the blue.

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Tezulo's face, but he quickly recovered and replied calmly: "Of course, their captain is also a Shichibukai, how could I not know?"

But when he answered, he couldn't help but glance at Bai Xing behind Xie Wen.

Ok?

It was only at this time that Xie Wen realized that the only reason why Tezoro could escape from the Celestial Dragons was because he was rescued by Tiger!

And he thought about it carefully, it seems that there has never been a murloc on the golden ship...

So the fact that Tesoro is so easy to talk to is probably due to Shirahoshi, or to be more precise, Tiger's contribution.

Although he realized this belatedly, it didn't make much difference to Xie Wen, and he continued speaking according to his original speech.

"Yes, because of Shirahoshi, Jinbei and I are quite familiar with each other. The Sun Pirates have a secret, that is, their tattoos are actually covering something..."

"Tanaka! Take Bakara and leave first!"

Tezulo suddenly raised his voice and shouted to his two subordinates.

Although Tanaka and Bakara were still confused, they did not dare to go against Tesoro's will. After respectfully bowing, Tanaka used the power of his fruit to take Bakara out of this completely closed secret room.

After they left, Tezulo turned around and stared at Xie Wen: "What do you mean by this? Why are you suddenly telling me this?"

Xie Wen ignored his question and continued, "What they want to hide is the hoof print of the Sky-Soaring Dragon... Did you know? That mark is very magical. Even if it is covered with a new tattoo or branding, it will not disappear. As long as the new tattoo is scraped off, the hoof print of the Sky-Soaring Dragon hidden underneath can still be seen."

"What on earth do you want to say?!!"

Tezoro could no longer suppress his emotions and roared at Xie Wen.

Seeing that the excitement was almost over, Xie Wencai scratched Huiyuan Meowth's chin and said slowly: "However, fortunately, we have helped other people who escaped from the Celestial Dragons before. After the efforts of my little Ai, we finally developed an ointment that can completely remove this mark... Now, the fishmen of the Sun Pirates have long since completely gotten rid of that humiliating mark."

In fact, it was not just the Sun Pirates. Even to the Revolutionary Army, Xie Wen asked Daxiong to bring them a batch of "Mark Removing Ointment".

"What...what exactly do you want to do?"

Tezulo asked for the third time.

Every time he asked, his emotions were different. The first time he was worried and had a hint of luck, the second time his roar was full of despair and anger, and the third time he asked, it was with infinite desire and a little confusion.

"You also know that the Tianlong people and I are already at war to the death." Xie Wen seemed to have not noticed Tezoro's previous misconduct. "Since you want to cooperate with me and are not afraid of the Tianlong people's accountability, then... why don't you help me sell this ointment to remove the seal and try it out?"

Xie Wen was actually very interested in Tesoro's offer to help collect famous swords and devil fruits, so it was not impossible for him to cooperate with him, but Xie Wen did not want to do it the way Tesoro did.

However, looking at Tesoro's previous appearance and the stubborn character he had developed over the years, Xie Wen felt that even if he brought up the Knights of God, he would probably not be able to convince the other party, so he felt that this matter had to be done like King Neptune, and Tesoro had to face reality first.

"……no."

Tezoro's eyes flickered for a long time before he shook his head reluctantly and rejected Xie Wen's proposal.

Although he really wanted to agree immediately and get the "Mark-Removing Ointment" from Xie Wen, Tezoro was able to build such a large industry, so his ability must be good. So after hesitating for a while, he calmed down.

"Cooperating with you and cooperating with you to cause trouble for the Tianlong people are two different concepts. Even if the Tianlong people don't know that the seal-eliminating ointment comes from your hand, they will not allow me to sell it."

"Who said you were selling ointment to remove freckles?" Xie Wen winked at Taizuolo and reminded him with a smile, "What we are selling together is clearly a beauty cream for removing freckles."

Xie Wen learned this trick from an online store on Earth. A hot pot seasoning bowl that originally cost only a few dollars can be sold for more than ten or even dozens of dollars by changing the name of a cat food bowl. The pet economy has been fully exploited by these unscrupulous businessmen.

"Oh?!" Tezoro's eyes suddenly lit up, "If that's the case... we can give it a try."

This time, Tezoro did not refuse. After all, Xie Wenlian had already found an excuse for him, and it would be stupid for him to refuse again.

What's more, whether it can be sold for money and whether it will cause trouble to the Tianlong people are secondary. The most important thing is to get the ointment to remove the mark and completely remove the hoof mark of the Tianxiang Dragon under the star tattoo on his back.

For this reason, it would be worth it even if he had to pay for all the ointments provided by Xie Wen in the future.

Of course, Xie Wen also took into account the possibility that Tezolo would stop selling the mark-removing ointment after removing his own mark.

but……

It doesn't matter.

The reason why he proposed this cooperation was mainly because he was dissatisfied with Tesoro's way of cooperation, and then he tried to speed up the breakup between him and the Celestial Dragons.

It doesn't matter even if Tesoro pretends to obey on this matter, because as long as Xie Wen stays on Gulan Tesoro for a while, the Celestial Dragons will naturally come to find him. When that time comes, Tesoro will find that the relationships and power that he has worked hard to build and maintain, as well as this so-called "Absolute Sanctuary", are just a joke to those Celestial Dragons.

It was only after Tesoro faced the reality that the two sides truly began to cooperate.

So, Xie Wen just asked Huiyuan Miao for a small bottle of ointment, and then threw it directly to Tezoro.

"You should be able to find someone to test the authenticity of this potion. Once you confirm it, we can discuss cooperation... By the way, you said that our consumption here is all-inclusive, so it should still count, right?"

"Of course, regardless of whether the subsequent cooperation is successful, my previous commitment is still valid."

After receiving the ointment, Tezulo was excited, but he tried his best to remain calm on the surface. After carefully asking about the usage and precautions of the ointment, he hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help his curiosity and asked: "Do you... know something?"

"What do you want to ask?"

Xie Wen asked back.

"...No, nothing..."

Tezulo hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and did not go into the issue any further.

Seeing that the other party still had some reservations, Xie Wen did not force it. He just shrugged and said, "If there is nothing else, then send us out. My cats can't wait to have a good time here."

"That's right! Klee wants to have a good time, meow!"
