I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Just as Xie Wen and his friends were welcoming their new partners...

To be precise, before they left Wano Country, the latest issue of the World Economic News had already spread across the entire ocean through the news birds.

Before, everyone only knew that Kaido was defeated by Xie Wen, but after Morgans, who had "inside information", announced the process of the battle to the public, almost everyone was shocked.

"Two, two Kaido?!"

"Doesn't that mean there are two Five Emperors-level figures in the Felynx Survey Team?!"

"Don't forget, there is also the "Escaped Sun" that actually made Kaido retreat and blew off one of his horns!"

"Fortunately, Blue Star is not a pirate. He is still attacking other pirates as before."

"But he is also wanted by the World Government, so he must not be a good person!"

"Aren't there enough people wrongly accused by the World Government? And the crime that Blue Planet is wanted for is..."

"Hush! You're going to die!"

The Five Emperors and the like were still too far away for most common people, so they mostly just treated them as topics of idle chat after dinner.

The ones who really pay attention to this information are the major forces that are famous in the sea...

"Hahahahaha! Xie Wen really did that after all!"

Shanks, who had known Xie Wen's plan for a long time, looked at the content of the newspaper and laughed, "It's a pity that I can't see the battle between the two Kaidos. That would have been very interesting."

Ben Beckman looked at the huge "Rinhou Ukami" in the newspaper and said in amazement: "I didn't expect that little Keri, who looks so cute, could actually make such a terrible weapon..."

The other members of the Red Hair Pirates also agreed.

There is no need to explain much about the charm of the little angel Klee. During the time when they were with the Felynx Investigation Team, every member of the Red Hair Pirates loved the little doll very much. Perhaps only Suika, who could provide fine wine, could compare with her in popularity.

Although they had long known that Klee was the user of the Nature-Type Flame-Flame Fruit, the fact that Kaido could be injured directly with a bomb was still beyond their expectations and imagination.

You know, the Red Hair Pirates and the Beasts Pirates have fought each other more than once or twice, but except for Captain Shanks and Vice Captain Ben Beckman, no one else could leave a single scar on Kaido, let alone break off one of his horns.

At this moment, the Red Hair Pirates' chef, Lucky Lu, suddenly remembered something...

Then, in front of the astonished gazes of others, he threw away the stick, bones and meat that he almost never let go of, and began to feel around his body with his greasy hands.

A moment later, Laqi Lu took out a small red and white ball with a cute shape from the bottom of his pocket.

"Um... this is a 'little gift' from Klee. She said if you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, just squeeze it hard for ten seconds and then throw it away..."

He tremblingly held the Compressed Bomb given by Klee in his palm and told everyone its origin.

"You idiot! Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had something so dangerous in your hands?!"

The red-haired members except Shanks retreated to ten meters away from Lachi Lu in the blink of an eye, and even the usually calm Ben Beckman was no exception.

But Laqi Lu also had a good reason: "I didn't know that little Keri could make such a terrible thing!"

Only the skilled and courageous Shanks walked over and picked up the compressed bouncy bomb without a care. He patted Laci Lu's shoulder, activated AOE and taunted, "Hahahahaha! You bunch of cowards. Klee is such a good kid, how could she give such a dangerous bomb to Laci? This little thing must not be that powerful."

As he spoke, he curiously squeezed the round "cloth doll" in his hand...

"Did Klee really let you use it against the enemy? Why does it feel like this thing isn't a bomb?"

"She really said that, why don't you give it a try, Captain?"

Although Laci Lu felt that what his captain said made sense, when he thought of the cats around Xie Wen, each of whom was not simple, he decided to play it safe. So while instigating Shanks, he also retreated to the side of his other companions.

"Really, you are too cowardly."

Shanks pinched it for ten seconds and then threw it forward.

The compressed version of the bouncing bomb inherits the characteristics of the original version, and it also diligently jumps forward a few times after landing.

"Hahahaha! Look, isn't this just a toy..."

"boom--!!!"

Before Shanks finished his words, the Bouncing Bomb Compressed Type suddenly exploded.

"captain--!"

"Oh no! The boss is dying!"

"Where's the ship's doctor? Doctor, come and save him!"

……

"Damn it! Did Xie Wen find such good stuff in Punk Hazard? He should have forced them to stay back then!"

Big Mom had no idea how many times she had regretted this. When she wanted to vent her anger on her "useless" daughters again, she looked up and found that only her eldest son Perospero and her second son Katakuri were present.

When Katakuri saw the newspaper, he guessed what BIG MOM would do without even using his Observation Haki, so he sent all his brothers and sisters away early.

BIG MOM was feeling very uncomfortable as she couldn't vent her anger, and her eyes gradually became dangerous.

Fortunately, at this moment, Long Bread came in with a cart of snacks and instantly diverted BIG MOM's attention.

Perospero and Katakuri looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

While Big Mom was in a good mood because of the delicious food, Perospero said quickly: "Don't worry, Mom, aren't we on good terms with Xie Wen? And he has promised to translate the historical text for us. Even if we can't keep him in Wan Guo, we can still continue to improve our relationship with him."

Katakuri also agreed, "That's right, Mom. This year's tea party is about to start. I'll send Xie Wen an invitation then. The sisters are all so cute. If I try a few more times, I'll be able to win Xie Wen's heart."

"Well, well, well...what you said makes sense."

BIG MOM licked the food residue on her fingers and was easily fooled by her two sons.

"By the way, Vegapunk is so powerful, do we have a chance to capture him and bring him to Wan Guo?"

Like Kaido, Big Mom also set her sights on Vegapunk, and smacked her lips with some regret, "I shouldn't have killed the scientist who deceived me so easily...I think he was working with Vegapunk, right?"

"We can ask Du Field. Didn't he fund Vegapunk in the past?" Perospero suggested immediately.

"That's right! That's right! Mmmmm! Katakuri, go contact Feld, now!"

"Yes, Mom."

……

"Gulala! Those cat-fur tribes under Xie Wen are really extraordinary!"

Whitebeard laughed and put down the newspaper in his hand, then picked up the huge wine barrel next to him...

He took a sip cautiously.

That bastard Xie Wen! He really has no sense of taste! The little Ibuki wine that was left for him last time was not enough to drink! If he hadn't been so stingy, he would have drunk it all!

After complaining angrily for a while, Whitebeard soon smiled again.

Although he was reluctant to ask Xie Wen for Ibuki wine because he wanted to maintain his dignity, he now had a reasonable excuse - Izo and Ace were clamoring to go to Wano Country to check out the situation.

Therefore, along the way, the Whitebeard Pirates not only did not hide their whereabouts, but instead made a lot of fanfare, just to let Xie Wen know that they were heading to Wano Country and not to run so fast.

While the members of the Whitebeard Pirates gathered together to discuss Xie Wen and his cats, Teach was holding a newspaper with a serious expression...

If Vegapunk can copy devil fruits, then is there any point for him to wait for the Dark-Dark Fruit in the Whitebeard Pirates?

Although the Dark-Dark Fruit is very special, if he can copy the fruit ability of Whitebeard or Kaido, he doesn't necessarily have to have the Dark-Dark Fruit!

Teach suddenly felt that his decades of dormancy in the Whitebeard Pirates were not worth it.

But he quickly cheered up...

He could completely rely on the power of the Whitebeard Pirates and find a way to kidnap this guy Vegapunk!

The reason is very simple -

"Hahahahaha! Dad, since that Vegapunk is so powerful, why don't we go find him and let him heal you, Dad?!"

So, following BIG MOM and Kaido, the future "Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach also quietly set his sights on Vegapunk.
