I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

After the General's Mansion in the Flower Capital was smashed by Yixiao, Kurozumi Orochi ran away with his men, so it has never been repaired. So Xie Wen and the others finally rested in the flower house where Kozuki Hiyori lived when she pretended to be the oiran Kozuki Kozuki.

He first sent the cats to play by themselves, and then Xie Wen talked to Yixiao alone about the problems that Wano Country is facing now.

Of course, he did not mention anything about the ancient weapons, not because he was worried that Yixiao would take them away or something. Not to mention that he did not have such ambition, even if he really took them away, Xie Wen would not care. After all, Miaoerya had seen the design drawings of Pluto, and at worst they could make them themselves in the future.

The reason why I didn't mention this is, on the one hand, I don't want to give Yixiao more unnecessary pressure, and on the other hand, of course the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the less risk of it being exposed. In the original work, the secret of the ancient weapons was easily overheard by Caribou, which was related to the Straw Hat Pirates and King Neptune's attitude of having no sense of confidentiality.

"...I see. The World Government?"

After listening to Xie Wen's reminder, Yixiao fell silent for a while.

Even without the ancient weapons, he still felt a huge headache.

Being targeted by the World Government is more troublesome than being targeted by Kaido. The CP agents under the World Government are much more difficult to defend against than pirates like Kaido.

More importantly, Wano Country used to be guarded by powerful samurai. Although it was later occupied by Kaido, it also passively took on the task of blocking the World Government.

But now, Kaido has been driven away, and only one in a hundred of the once powerful samurai of Wano Country are left, and the position of Shogun is left vacant. If one wants to stop the infiltration of the World Government in such a chaotic situation, one really needs someone like Yixiao who is strong enough and particularly good at observation Haki to take charge.

"Xie Wen, you really gave me a difficult problem..."

He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Xie Wen already knew his choice from his expression.

"If you need any help, please contact me."

Xie Wen did not interfere with Yixiao's choice, but just left him his Den Den Mushi number, "Our ship is still very maneuverable."

Although I don't like Kozuki Oden, and I don't like Wano Country very much, compared to Wano Country being occupied by the World Government and letting Kozuki Momonosuke become the general, it doesn't seem so unacceptable.

After all, if the World Government occupied Wano Country, they might discover the whereabouts of "Pluto".

In fact, if Wano Country hadn't been too closed, Xie Wen would have planned to notify the Revolutionary Army to come and clean up the mess as he had done before.

After writing down Xie Wen's Den Den Mushi number, Yi Xiao was silent for a long time. Then, he gritted his teeth, untied the "Gambler's FireWire" from his waist, and handed it to Xie Wen.

"I remember that your hobby, Brother Xie Wen, is to collect famous swords, right? Although this "Gambler's Wire" was only given to me by a good friend, it was fortunately selected as one of the twelve supreme swords. I think it should be pleasing to you, right?"

Wow, he is worthy of being the one who will be able to kneel down and apologize to civilians as an admiral of the navy in the future. His mind is much more open-minded than those petty-minded Nine Red Scabbards.

Xie Wen did not refuse the other party's kindness. He took the "Gambler's Fire" with a smile and took it out to take a look.

"It is indeed a supreme sword," Xie Wen exclaimed after flicking the blade with his finger. "Among all the famous swords I have seen, except for Hawkeye's black sword "Night", this and Red Hair's "Griffin" have the strongest "sharpness."

Although Xie Wen has seen Whitebeard's "Kurokumo-Kiri", he has not come into close contact with it, so he cannot comment on it for the time being. Big Mom's "Napoleon" is essentially Homies created by the power of the fruit, and it cannot be said to be particularly good in the field of "sword", probably about the same as the Ryokai Sword.

As for Xie Wen's most commonly used "Fresh Knife Shiragi"...

Although it is the one that Xie Wen is most comfortable using, in terms of sharpness and toughness, it cannot actually be compared with the Supreme Great Sword. It is even slightly inferior to the "Autumn Water" that has been refined into a black sword. It is basically at the level of an ordinary great sword.

There is also the water-attribute attack that is unique to Monster Hunter. In the world of Pirates, it can only be used to bully the unlucky Cracker, and it will even affect his and Klee's combination skills. Later, with the help of Meowerya, Shiragi's attribute attack was adjusted to be able to be turned on and off automatically, so Xie Wen didn't have to change the sword every time he used the combination skill.

Hearing Xie Wen's praise, Yixiao still had a hint of pain on his face, but he also showed a smile of pride. After all, the owners of the other two swords mentioned by Xie Wen were the world's greatest swordsman and one of the Four Emperors.

After watching "Gambler's Wire", Xie Wen put it back into the sheath and threw it back to Yixiao.

He collected famous swords just to open an illustrated guide. He had the experience of snatching the "Wado Ichimonji" from Zoro before, and the action of taking over the "Gambler's Crossbow" just now was enough to temporarily gain ownership of it.

Of course, I definitely can’t say this to Yixiao openly…

"A gentleman does not take away what others like. Although I am not a gentleman, I will not take away the sword that means so much to you just because of my little hobby."

Xie Wen spoke with such righteousness that Yixiao was deeply moved.

……

“Meowhahahahaha! Brother Xie Wen, look! Sister Yamato’s fruit ability is actually to transform into a fanghound, meow!”

ヾ(=＞＜=)ツ

After walking out of the private chat room with Yixiao and coming to the small courtyard of the flower house, Xie Wen saw Klee riding on a white dog-like creature and waving its little paws at him.

Animal type·Dog-Dog Fruit·Mythical beast·Big mouth true god form.

In terms of appearance, Yamato's beast form is indeed very similar to the Fanghound, especially after the game changed into the Fanghound skin linked with "Okami", the two are even more similar...

Although in the setting of "Okami", the white dog god is actually the incarnation of Amaterasu, not Ooguchi Shinkami.

"Brother Xie Wen~"

(=`=)

When Xie Wen approached, Klee immediately jumped from Yamato's back into his arms.

After nudging Xie Wen's chest with its little head for a while, the little puppet quickly and skillfully climbed onto his shoulder, gently pulled his ears, and said in a baby voice, "Klee wants to invite Sister Yamato to join the investigation team, okay meow~"

As the little puppet spoke, he moved his head closer and rubbed it against Xie Wen's head...

Whenever this little guy wants to catch something to raise on the boat, he uses this trick.

So Xie Wen was completely unmoved, and instead turned his gaze towards Yamato himself.

In the comics, she didn't even get on the Straw Hat ship, so she probably wouldn't be interested in the investigation team, right?

Although she is a beautiful young woman who can fill the gap of Fanghound, Xie Wen is not very welcoming to Yamato...

Who would want to be friends with a crazy fan of someone they hate?!

But to Xie Wen's surprise, the look in Yamato's eyes when he looked back at him actually revealed expectation and pleading.

Moreover, from time to time, she would glance at the big Maine Coon cat that Bai Xing was holding in his arms.

Xie Wen: "..."

You don't really want to change your father? !
