I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

"This is Mr. Yixiao's friend, Mr. Xie Wen, who is known as "Blue Star" in the outside world."

Kawamatsu was worried that the warriors on his side might cause trouble again, so he quickly took the lead in introducing them.

However, what surprised him was that the few people who had been dissatisfied with Xie Wen before suddenly became obedient.

Although he didn't understand what happened, He Song was relieved and continued, "The reason why Mr. Yixiao wanted to come back was because Mr. Xie Wen told him about what happened here."

"I see. Thank you so much!"

Denjiro has always been following Kurozumi Orochi, so he doesn't know much about the situation here, but he has heard about the smile that rescued the samurai and led Kaido away.

not to mention……

"Did you learn about us from Zou? After so many years, many outstanding young people have emerged among the Minks."

Denjiro looked at the cat beside Xie Wen and said with a look of satisfaction on his face.

He could feel that, apart from Klee who had just used Meowth's Noh, the other cats were also quite strong.

Just ...

Why are they all cat fur people?

"Klee is an Elucat! Not some kind of cat-fur tribe!"

(=`h=)

Previously, her ninjutsu was mistaken by Fukurokujutsu as sorcery, and now she was said to be from the Fur Tribe. The little puppet, who originally didn't care much, couldn't help but refute.

"That's right! And our hometown is not Meowzou! We don't want a country ruled by those two stupid uncles Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, meow!"

(=`へ=)

Meowx also echoed and complained about Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.

"Uh……"

The cats' reactions were somewhat beyond Denjiro's expectations.

However, he also realized that there must have been some friction or misunderstanding between Xie Wen and the others on the one hand, and Inuarashi and Cat Viper on the other, but it should not be serious.

Just as Denjiro was muttering to himself, Meowx deliberately provoked him again: "Come to think of it... you know those two idiots Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, are they also one of those 'Red Scabbard Nine Idiots'?"

“It’s the Nine Red Scabbards!” Yamato, who had been keeping silent, could no longer hold back and protested with a red face: “They are great warriors just like Oden!”

"Only an idiot like you would think that, meow."

(In)

Meowx curled her lips in disdain and said sarcastically, "But a fool matches a fool, which is quite suitable, meow."

On the other side, Kawamatsu also whispered to Denjiro and Hiyori about Xie Wen's evaluation of Kozuki Oden, as well as the reactions of some samurai.

"Ugh……"

Denjiro's expression changed several times, and he sighed helplessly, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with what he said. What Lord Oden and we did back then was indeed problematic."

As the smartest one among the Nine Red Scabbards, Denjiro has actually reviewed the original situation many times over the years. Although he is biased in some things due to the Oden virus, overall, the conclusions he came to are similar to Xie Wen's...

Even in Denjiro's eyes, the ones who did wrong were mainly his ministers who failed to give correct advice and failed to detect Kurozumi Orochi's ambition and conspiracy in time.

After hearing that Denjiro, like Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, had taken the initiative to take on the responsibility back then, Xie Wen could not help but roll his eyes.

It has to be said that although the intelligence of these guys varies, their ideas are surprisingly consistent and they are indeed loyal. In order to preserve the reputation of their unqualified lord, each of them takes the responsibility on themselves.

Moreover, what he did actually worked.

Because Xie Wen saw that among Hantaro's group, several warriors had gradually changed from watching coldly to being thoughtful and even ashamed...

That’s outrageous!

"You don't have to say anything more, Denjiro." Kozuki Hiyori suddenly interrupted Denjiro's words of taking the blame, "Father is not a perfect person. If he made a mistake, it's a mistake. Wano Country has fallen to its current state. Our Kozuki family does have an unshirkable responsibility!"

Unlike the Nine Red Scabbards who wanted to cover up the truth, Kozuki Hiyori openly admitted her father's mistake, which made Xie Wen look at her differently. Even Klee whispered in his ear, "This sister is not as annoying as those uncles, meow."

"Thank you, Master Wen."

After admitting Kozuki Oden's mistake, Kozuki Hiyori took two steps forward, stood in front of Xie Wen, then knelt down directly, giving him a standard kamikaze salute.

"Father has already made a mistake. I and the Kozuki family will do our best to make up for it. But now Wano Country is in dire straits. Please help us defeat Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi for the sake of the poor people of Wano Country!"

"Princess! What are you doing?!"

Without waiting for Xie Wen to say anything, the warriors came forward shouting and tried to help Hiyori up.

However, Hiyori remained unmoved and continued to press her head against the snow.

Awesome...

Xie Wen looked at Hantaro and the others who had completely let go of their grudges, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

Denjiro's somewhat deliberate taking of responsibility only slightly changed the attitudes of a few samurai, but Kozuki Hiyori's completely sincere action directly made all the samurai who had previously been resentful of the Kozuki clan win over.

Moreover, Xie Wen and the cats also admired what Rihe did...

Isn't this a thousand times stronger than that guy Momonosuke?

Unfortunately, the customs and ideas of Wano Country are too feudal. Instead of expecting Kozuki Hiyori to become a female general, it is more reliable to expect a samurai to overthrow his superiors.

"Get up."

Under the murderous gazes of Denjiro and other samurai, Xie Wen finally woke up from his deep thoughts. He first stepped forward to help Kozuki Hiyori up, and then told the truth: "To be honest, I am not completely sure about defeating Kaido. Even among the Four Emperors, he is the most difficult one. At first, I just wanted to come here to fight with him for revenge, and then run away. I didn't plan to fight him to the death."

Originally, Xie Wen was planning to trick Hiyori, get "Yan Mo" and then just fight Kaido, but Hiyori's performance just now made Xie Wen feel a little embarrassed to trick her...

Well, it’s definitely not because of Kozuki Hiyori’s appearance that can compete with the Empress.

"that's enough!"

Just when Hiyori Kozuki's eyes dimmed, Denjiro on the side said excitedly: "As long as you can hold Kaido back for a while, we will gather our strength and work with Mr. Ichisho to eliminate as many members of the Beast Pirates as possible. As long as most of his men are eliminated, Kaido will naturally not be able to continue to rule Wano Country!"

Only then did Xie Wen realize that Kaido originally occupied Wano Country in order to ask Kozuki Oden for the whereabouts of the great treasure and the translated historical text. After killing Oden, he also used Wano Country as a sweatshop to accumulate strength.

But if occupying Wano Country not only fails to gain any benefits, but instead requires consuming a lot of energy to deal with the samurai who are constantly causing trouble, then Kaido is likely to abandon this base.

Of course, Kaido will most likely retaliate against Wano Country before leaving, but as long as they make preparations in advance and retain most of the population and power, even if areas including the Flower Capital are completely destroyed, these losses will be acceptable to the people of Wano Country.

In this way...

It seems like Klee and the others don’t need to worry about anything!

Xie Wen rubbed his chin and suddenly thought of the "big treasure" that the little cats had specially prepared for Kaido.

It's going to be destroyed anyway, so it's better to be destroyed by Kaido or to be destroyed because of fighting Kaido...

There shouldn't be much difference, right?

Just as Xie Wen was thinking about how to vaccinate Guangyue Ri and the others, a roar suddenly came from the sky in the distance -

"Little devil from Canglan Star! Get out here right here!!!"

Kaido is back!
